Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First

Mr-Glass roof replacement in Palm Beach runs between $9,800 and $24,000 for a typical single-family home, depending on roof size, slope, and whether you’re going with asphalt shingles, concrete tile, or standing-seam metal. We complete most replacements in three to seven working days once materials land, and we quote a fixed price before the first shingle comes off. If you own a Mr-Glass roof and you’re wondering what it’ll take to replace it, call (561) 831-7863 and talk to a live person, not a call tree.

This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who bought a Mr-Glass roof years ago and now need honest answers about replacement options, failure patterns we’ve seen across town, and what the work actually costs here, not a national average from a website. Ed Winslow has been roofing Palm Beach homes since before half the new construction on the barrier island went up, and our crew knows exactly what a Mr-Glass roof does in this salt air and afternoon heat.

How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Every roof brand fails a certain way. Here’s what we see on Mr-Glass installations across Palm Beach and how we address each one during a replacement:

• Flashing separation at curb-mounted skylights on Mr-Glass Sunset Series roofs. The original aluminum flashing Mr-Glass specified on older Sunset Series installs used butyl tape that hardens after eight to ten years in this climate. Once the tape stiffens, the thermal expansion of the metal pulls the seal away from the curb, and water rides the seam straight into the roof deck. When we replace these roofs, we pull the old skylight entirely, inspect the curb, and refit the flashing with a two-part sealed system that handles Palm Beach’s daily expansion cycle without cracking.
• Concrete tile spalling on Mr-Glass Mediterranean Collection roofs near the beach. Salt aerosol in the air along Palm Beach and West Palm sits on tile surfaces and, over years, works into the micro-pores of the concrete. The salt crystallizes, expands, and the tile surface starts flaking away in thin chips. It looks like a cosmetic issue until enough of the tile face is gone that the underlying body saturates. We see this most often on homes within walking distance of the Intracoastal. During replacement, we specify a tile with a denser surface profile or switch to standing-seam metal, depending on how close you are to the breakers.
• Fastener back-out on Mr-Glass Estate Collection metal roof panels. The Estate Collection used a hidden-fastener panel that performed well, but on south-facing roof planes, the afternoon heat builds enough thermal movement that the clips can back off the purlins over a decade. The telltale sign is a subtle oil-canning sound during afternoon wind or slight ripple lines visible from the street. On replacement, we re-clip the entire field with upgraded stainless fasteners and add thermal spacer tape, which brings the panel back to flat and keeps it there.
• Ridge cap adhesive failure on Mr-Glass Architectural Shingle roofs in tree-covered parts of town. Palm Beach’s live oaks and banyans drop organic debris that traps moisture against ridge caps. The adhesive strip on Mr-Glass shingles is fine in open sun, but where trees canopy the roof, the caps can lift within six years. We’ve replaced dozens of Mr-Glass shingle roofs in the estate districts where this is the first visible failure point, and our fix is mechanical fastening at the ridge line rather than relying on adhesive alone.
• Valley metal corrosion on Mr-Glass tile roofs using galvanized valley pans. The original spec on many Mr-Glass tile installs called for galvanized valley metal, not stainless or copper. In Palm Beach’s humidity, the galvanized coating thins, rust blooms, and the valley eventually channels water under adjacent tiles. We see this on homes of all ages, but it accelerates if the roof slopes toward the east and holds morning dew. Our replacement standard is stainless valley metal, full stop. It costs a little more and it’s the only thing that survives here.

Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process

Here’s exactly how a Mr-Glass roof replacement goes when you call Winslow Windows & Doors:

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You reach a live voice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We talk through what you’re seeing and schedule a walkthrough at your Palm Beach home.
2. 2
   Full roof inspection with documentation. Ed or a senior tech gets on the roof, photographs every problem area, and checks the deck from the attic side if accessible. You get a written report covering what’s failing, what’s still serviceable, and what the replacement options are.
3. 3
   Written line-item estimate. We price the job as a fixed number with no allowances for surprises. If the deck sheathing is rotted, we’ll know before we quote, not after we tear off.
4. 4
   Material selection and permit pull. Whether you’re staying with an architectural shingle, moving to concrete tile, or switching to standing-seam metal, we handle the permit and inspections. You pick the color and profile; we handle the code.
5. 5
   The replacement itself. Full tear-off, deck inspection and replacement where needed, new underlayment to current Palm Beach code, new flashing at every roof-to-wall intersection, chimney, vent, and skylight, and the new Mr-Glass or upgraded roofing system installed per spec.
6. 6
   Final inspection and cleanup. We pass the county or municipal inspection before we consider the job done. Then we run a magnet sweep for nails and haul every scrap off your property. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies to the entire job.

What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach

Here’s the honest math on what we charge in Palm Beach, based on the roof systems we’ve quoted and replaced across town:

The price moves based on roof size, slope, number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents), and what the deck looks like once we peel back the old material. If we quote you $14,200 for a shingle roof, that’s what you pay, no change orders. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll walk your roof and give you a written number.
