AfterMr-Glass Roof Repair in Palm Beach: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof repair in Palm Beach typically runs $280 to $1,900 depending on whether we’re resealing a skylight curb, replacing a cracked glass panel, or rebuilding the aluminum frame after a storm. Most jobs are done in a single visit, usually 2 to 4 hours on site. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, which means we buy parts at fair market prices and pass the savings on instead of padding an OEM surcharge.
This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who have Mr-Glass skylights, roof glazing, or glass roof panels that are leaking, fogged, cracked, or lifting. You’ll learn how these products fail in our salt-air climate, what repairs actually cost here, and why Ed Winslow’s crews treat every Mr-Glass job like our name is on the glass itself. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate.
Key Takeaways
- Mr-Glass roof products fail most often at the sealant line, not the glass itself. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
- Palm Beach salt air eats aluminum frames faster than inland Florida. We inspect every frame corner, not just the pane.
- OEM Mr-Glass parts are available for most series, but quality aftermarket glass often performs identically at 40-60% less.
- Every repair carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, Ed’s crews come back. No charge.
- Free estimates. Live person answers the phone. Always.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We’ve pulled apart enough Mr-Glass roof assemblies in Palm Beach to know exactly where they give out. Here are the five failure patterns we see most, straight from our job files.
- Sealant delamination on the Mr-Glass Concord Series skylights. The original butyl or silicone bead between the glass panel and aluminum curb breaks down under UV and salt spray within 6 to 9 years. Water doesn’t pour in – it seeps, crawling along the frame and staining Sheetrock before anyone notices. We remove the old sealant down to clean metal, prime with a marine-grade bonding agent, and lay a continuous bead of commercial urethane-rated for coastal exposure.
- Fogged glass in Mr-Glass Thermal Series roof panels. Once the desiccant strip inside the insulated glass unit saturates, you get condensation between the panes that will never go away. The fix isn’t moisture removal; it’s a full IGU replacement. We match the original glass thickness and tint so the new panel looks like it shipped from the factory.
- Corroded aluminum frame corners on Mr-Glass Horizon Line roof glazing. Palm Beach’s salt air is unforgiving to powder-coated aluminum at screw penetrations. The frame doesn’t just look bad – the structural integrity degrades. We treat the corrosion, replace damaged screw bosses, and refinish with a coat matched to the original color.
- Cracked or shattered tempered panels from flying debris during hurricane season. Mr-Glass roof products in Palm Beach take direct hits from palm fronds and roof tiles during storms. Tempered glass is excellent for safety, but when it fails, it fails completely. We measure the opening, confirm reveal and rake dimensions, and install a properly tempered replacement with the correct edge clearance.
- Improper flashing from the original installation. This is the big one. Too many Mr-Glass skylights were installed with field-bent alien flashing rather than proper curb-mounted kits. Water runs between the flashing and the roof deck, and the homeowner blames the skylight. We pull the old flashing, inspect the curb, and rebuild the transition with materials matched to your roof type – shingle, tile, or metal.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process
When you call Winslow about a Mr-Glass problem, here’s exactly what happens.
- 1
You call (561) 782-7525. A live person answers. No voicemail loops. We ask what’s happening, pull up your address, and get a tech scheduled. If you’re in our home county, there’s no trip charge.
- 2
We diagnose before we touch anything. The tech walks the roof, checks sealant lines, frame corners, interior water paths, and the roof-to-curb flashing. You get a written estimate with line items.
- 3
Parts decision. We tell you if OEM Mr-Glass parts are the right call or if a quality aftermarket equivalent does the same job for less. You choose. No pressure.
- 4
The repair. Proper surface prep, correct adhesives and sealants rated for coastal Florida, and fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air. We work clean and we work like Ed is watching, because he usually is.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We moisture-test the repair, check the interior for any missed leaks, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. If anything isn’t right, the Done Right Promise means we’re back until it is.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
Ed Winslow grew up in El Cid, just west of the Intracoastal, watching older homes get chewed up by salt air and storm seasons. That’s why he started this company in 2011 – and why he still answers the phone. When you call about a Mr-Glass roof problem, the person on the other end actually knows what a skylight curb looks like, because he’s built them.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so our Mr-Glass customers get the benefit of a crew that works across multiple high-end brands. If your Mr-Glass product is beyond repair, we can show you comparable replacement options without dragging you through a sales pitch. Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. The Done Right Promise means if our repair fails, we fix it. That’s not a warranty with exclusions, that’s Ed’s word.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the age of the unit and what the warranty covers, but in most cases, hiring an independent Mr-Glass service provider for sealant or flashing work does not void a warranty on the glass unit itself. We use repair methods that meet or exceed the original installation standards, and we document everything so you have records if a claim ever comes up. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk you through what your specific warranty says.
Yes, OEM Mr-Glass glass panels and frame components are generally available within 5 to 10 business days for most series, though some discontinued Horizon Line parts may require fabrication. We give you the real lead time up front, and we quote both OEM and aftermarket pricing so you can decide with open eyes. Call (561) 782-7525 for an exact parts quote.
Repair makes sense when the frame is structurally sound, the glass is intact or the failure is at a sealant or flashing line. Replace when the frame shows widespread corrosion, the IGU has failed in multiple places, or the product is more than 15 years old and you’re in an impact zone. We’ll give you an honest recommendation – not the answer that makes us more money.
Leaks get priority. We book most repair calls within 48 hours, and if you’re actively taking on water, call (561) 782-7525 and a live person will get you on the schedule that same day, depending on current route load.
