Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach typically runs between $9,800 and $22,500 depending on the roofing system, square footage, and whether we’re working with impact-rated materials. Most full replacements take three to five working days once materials land. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we give you straight answers about what actually needs replacing and what’s better served by an alternative already in your budget range.

This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who own Mr-Glass products and want a roof team that understands the brand without drinking the brand Kool-Aid. If you’ve got a Mr-Glass skylight, glass roof panel, or integrated glazing system that’s failing, leaking, or just looking tired, call (561) 782-7525. Ed Winslow and our crew will walk the roof with you and tell you the truth, even when the truth is “you don’t need a full replacement yet.”
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass components show specific failure patterns in Palm Beach’s salt air and hurricane-season conditions. Here’s what we see most often:
- Mr-Glass Series 700 skylight gasket rot. The factory gaskets on Series 700 units harden and shrink after roughly seven to nine years in coastal humidity. You’ll notice water staining at the drywall corners first, not the glass itself. We remove the old gasket channel, clean the frame seat, and install a marine-grade replacement that holds up far better in salt air than the OEM material.
- Condensation between Mr-Glass dual-pane roof panels. This is a seal failure, not a cleaning problem. Once the desiccant strip inside the insulated glass unit saturates, no amount of wiping fixes it. We replace the IGU and reseat the panel with fresh setting blocks, which is a one-day job on most single-panel installations.
- Flashing separation on Mr-Glass curb-mounted units. Palm Beach’s afternoon downpours find every gap. The curb flashing Mr-Glass ships with their boxes is adequate, but the sealant bead often fails at the corners within five years. We strip the old flashing, install new aluminum curb flashing, and lap it under the existing roof membrane so water sheds outward instead of pooling.
- Stress cracks from improper original installation. We see this on Mr-Glass panels that were set tight against the frame with no expansion room. Glass moves with temperature swings, and a panel that can’t flex will crack at the edge. We replace the panel and set it on proper glazing blocks with perimeter clearance so it has room to move.
- Hardware corrosion on operable Mr-Glass roof windows. Hinges, lift arms, and operator mechanisms on ventilating units corrode fast in the salt zone. We replace corroded hardware with stainless or corrosion-coated equivalents and lubricate the tracks. It’s a small fix that keeps the window working instead of seizing shut in August.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass roof job we take follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no surprises:
- 1
Call and walk-through. You call (561) 782-7525, we schedule a roof inspection, and Ed or a senior tech walks the entire Mr-Glass installation with you to understand what’s failing and what’s holding up fine.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. We hand you a printed quote separating materials, labor, and disposal. No lump-sum mystery number you have to decode at the kitchen table.
- 3
Parts decision. We tell you when OEM Mr-Glass parts make sense and when a quality alternative saves you money without cutting lifespan. The choice is always yours, and we put our recommendation in writing.
- 4
Teardown and prep. We remove old units, inspect the curb or frame, and repair any rotted substrate. Palm Beach’s humidity means we refuse to set a new panel on compromised wood. It gets replaced first.
- 5
Install and seal. New Mr-Glass components go in with fresh flashing, setting blocks, and a full sealant pass. We check the reveal, verify operation on any moving parts, and clean the glass.
- 6
Test and walkthrough. We water-test the installation, walk the roof with you, and document the work. If anything isn’t done right, the Done Right Promise covers it. We come back and fix it. That’s the standard.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Here are the real numbers for the Mr-Glass roof scenarios we handle most in Palm Beach:
- Single fixed skylight replacement: $1,800-$3,400
- Dual-pane IGU replacement in existing Mr-Glass frame: $950-$2,100
- Operable Mr-Glass roof window replacement: $3,200-$5,800
- Curb flashing repair with new sealant: $600-$1,400
- Full glass roof panel system replacement (200-400 sq ft): $12,000-$22,500
What moves the price? Accessibility (second-story roofs with no interior stair cost more in staging), impact-rating requirements, and whether the curb or framing needs reconstruction once we open it up. The estimate we give you before work starts is the number you pay. No change orders slipped in mid-job. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll put real numbers on your specific roof.
Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up in El Cid watching salt air and summer storms dismantle Palm Beach homes piece by piece. That’s not a marketing story. It’s the reason we take flashing details seriously and the reason we’d rather tell you a repair is enough than sell a replacement you don’t need.

When you call (561) 782-7525, a live person answers. Not a call center, not a voicemail tree. At 2 a.m. during a storm, you get a person who can help. Every tech who shows up is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s on your roof before they climb the ladder. And because we install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows alongside Mr-Glass, we’re not married to one manufacturer. If another brand’s panel fits your roof better, we’ll say so. Ed’s name is on the truck. That’s the only guarantee you actually need.
FAQs
Replacing a failed panel or IGU does not void the warranty on the remaining Mr-Glass components, as long as the work is done correctly and the new parts meet the same performance spec. We document every installation with photos and a written description, so if a warranty question comes up later you have a paper trail. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll review your specific warranty terms before any work begins.
Most single-panel Mr-Glass replacements take one full day on site. Full glass roof system replacements run three to five working days. Material lead time depends on the panel spec, but we stock common sizes and can usually be on your roof within a week. Call (561) 782-7525 for a current timeline on your specific unit.
If the glass is sound and the issue is a gasket, flashing, or seal failure, repair is almost always the cheaper path and can buy you five to ten more years. If the IGU has fogged or the frame is corroded or cracked, replacement is the better long-term call. We’ll give you both numbers and our honest recommendation when we inspect. Estimates are free, so call (561) 782-7525.
We use OEM Mr-Glass parts when they’re the best option for fit and longevity, and we use carefully vetted alternatives when the OEM part has a known weakness, like the original gasket material on Series 700 skylights. We always show you both options, explain the trade-off, and let you decide. Call (561) 782-7525 to talk through what your roof needs.
No. The number on your written estimate is the number you pay, unless we open the roof and find structural damage that requires an additional scope we discussed before starting. In that case we stop, show you what we found, and get your sign-off before any extra work happens. That’s the Winslow way, and it’s been that way since 2011.
If you’re in Palm Beach and your Mr-Glass roof needs attention, don’t wait for the next storm to confirm your suspicions. Call (561) 782-7525 today for a free estimate. We’re the one down the road, we answer the phone, and we stand behind every roof we touch.
