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

We complete most Mr-Glass roof work in a single visit, usually within four to six hours on site.

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

• Failed curb-mount seals on Mr-Glass fixed skylights. The Mr-Glass fixed units common in Royal Palm Beach homes sit on a raised curb, and the original sealant between the frame and the curb breaks down after roughly eight to twelve years of Florida sun. Water does not always show up directly under the unit. It travels along the roof deck and stains the ceiling three feet away. We pull the old frame, inspect the curb for rot, rebuild it if needed, and set the new unit in a continuous bed of sealant rated for South Florida UV exposure.
• Condensation between panes on Mr-Glass venting roof windows. Once the argon gas escapes through a failed edge seal, the unit fogs in the morning and clears by afternoon. Some homeowners live with it for years. The fix is a new insulated glass unit. On Mr-Glass venting models, we check whether the sash hardware is still true before ordering glass. If the hinges have sagged even an eighth of an inch, a new pane will not seat correctly and the fog comes back.
• Binding operators on Mr-Glass crank-style roof windows. The crank mechanism on older Mr-Glass venting units collects grit and corrosion from the salt air that pushes inland from the coast. Royal Palm Beach is far enough west that the air is drier, but not dry enough to keep untreated hardware from rusting. We disassemble the operator, clean the worm gear, replace any stripped teeth with OEM parts when available or a machined aftermarket equivalent when not, and grease everything before reassembly.
• Flashing failures where Mr-Glass units meet barrel tile roofs. A high number of Royal Palm Beach homes have barrel tile roofs, and Mr-Glass curbs were not always flashed correctly to that profile. Water pools behind the tile step flashing and works under the curb over time. Our installers cut custom lead or aluminum flashing that follows the tile contour, not a generic kit from a supply house.
• Acrylic dome cracking on older Mr-Glass bubble skylights. The single-wall acrylic domes on Mr-Glass bubble units will craze and crack after ten-plus years of direct sun. Hairline cracks are not a visual problem at first; they are a leak waiting on the next heavy storm. We replace the dome with a dual-wall polycarbonate unit that carries a better impact rating and better heat rejection for the same curb footprint.

Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. A live person answers at (386) 251-6745, twenty-four hours a day. We ask about the unit, the age of the house, and what the leak or problem looks like from inside. That tells us which truck to send.
2. 2
   On-site inspection and measurement. We measure the opening twice, inspect the curb or roof deck, and check the interior ceiling for water paths. We also look at the surrounding roofing material to understand how water moves across that section of the roof.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote on paper. We quote the Mr-Glass repair or replacement side by side with what we would use if you chose a PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows unit instead. You see the price difference and the warranty difference before you decide.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM versus aftermarket. Where Mr-Glass OEM parts are available and priced fairly, we use them. Where the OEM part is discontinued or the lead time is unreasonable, we tell you what we would substitute and why it will hold up.
5. 5
   Replacement and installation. We remove the old unit, correct any curb or flashing deficiencies, set the new unit, and seal it. For venting units, we test the crank or motor five full cycles before we pack up.
6. 6
   The test and the guarantee. We water-test every Mr-Glass roof installation before we leave. Every job carries the Done Right Promise in writing. If something is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no argument.
