This page is for homeowners whose Mr-Glass shingle, tile, or metal roof is leaking, lifting, rusting at the fasteners, or simply nearing the end of its service life. We’ll walk through the failure patterns we see most often in Fort Lauderdale’s coastal climate, what a proper repair looks like, and what you should expect to pay.

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

Mr-Glass roof systems perform well when installed correctly, but after fifteen-plus years in South Florida humidity and hurricane-season wind cycles, certain failure patterns show up predictably. Here are the five we fix most often in Fort Lauderdale.

• Shingle granule loss and underlayment rot on the asphalt series. Mr-Glass asphalt shingle lines installed in the early 2000s often show heavy granule shedding by year twelve, which exposes the fiberglass mat to UV. The real problem sits underneath: the original felt underlayment breaks down in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, and by the time you see granules in the gutter, water has usually reached the decking in at least one spot. We pull the affected course, inspect the deck, replace rotted sections, and re-lay with synthetic underlayment that holds up to standing moisture far better than felt.
• Tile slippage and broken corners on barrel tile profiles. Mr-Glass concrete barrel tile is heavy and holds up structurally, but the mortar-set ridge caps and hip tiles crack under repeated thermal expansion. Once a hip tile fractures, wind-driven rain gets underneath and starts working on the fasteners. In Fort Lauderdale, we see this most often on homes within two miles of the Intracoastal, where salt air accelerates the corrosion on the metal lath beneath the mortar. Our fix removes the failed mortar bed, re-sets the tiles with a polymer-modified adhesive, and replaces any rusted lath rather than patching over it.
• Metal roof fastener backout on standing seam and exposed-fastener panels. Mr-Glass metal roofing panels, especially the exposed-fastener corrugated profile, rely on rubber-washered screws that harden and crack after a decade of Florida sun. When the washer fails, the screw loosens, and water wicks straight into the purlin. We see this on nearly every older metal Mr-Glass roof in Broward County. The proper fix is not adding more screws, it’s removing the failed fasteners, checking the purlin for rot, and re-fastening with a larger-diameter screw fitted with a UV-stable EPDM washer.
• Flashing separation where shingle or tile meets a wall or skylight. Mr-Glass roofs use standard step flashing at wall intersections, but the sealant bond between flashing and substrate fails after eight to ten years in this climate. Homeowners notice a water stain on the ceiling near an exterior wall and assume the shingles are bad. Most of the time, the shingles are fine and the flashing has simply pulled away. We re-bend or replace the flashing, re-seal it with a polyurethane sealant rated for coastal exposure, and re-nest the surrounding shingles or tiles.
• Ridge vent deterioration on shingle roofs. Mr-Glass shingle systems with continuous ridge vents often develop leaks at the vent ends long before the shingles themselves fail. The plastic vent material degrades, the end caps fall off, and Fort Lauderdale’s sideways rain drives straight into the attic. We replace the entire vent run with a mill-finish aluminum vent and re-cap both ends properly, which usually costs less than the water damage it prevents.

Our Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Every Mr-Glass roof job follows the same sequence, whether it’s a small repair or a full re-roof. No steps get skipped, and nothing gets covered up until we’ve verified what’s underneath.

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You reach a live person at (954) 280-4413. We ask what you’re seeing: stain, leak, missing tile, rust line. We schedule a roof inspection, usually within one to two business days.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. A uniformed, background-checked technician walks the roof, checks the attic if accessible, and photographs everything. We measure twice and mark the affected zones rather than eyeballing from the ground.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For Mr-Glass roofs still under the original manufacturer warranty, we use OEM parts and document everything so your warranty stays intact. For out-of-warranty roofs, we quote quality aftermarket materials side by side with OEM pricing on paper, and you choose.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We pull only what needs pulling. For shingle repairs, that means the affected course plus overlap. For tile, the broken units and their neighbors. For metal, the failed fasteners and any compromised panels. We replace rotted decking or rusted lath rather than covering it.
5. 5
   Water test and inspection. After the repair, we run a targeted water test on the patched area and re-check every fastener we installed. If it’s a full re-roof, we walk the entire perimeter and ridge line before we call it done.
6. 6
   Warranty registration and cleanup. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck pulls away. Nails, torn felt, and debris are cleaned from the yard and the gutters.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work

Most Fort Lauderdale homeowners don’t call us first, they call us after someone else gave them a cheap patch that lasted one rainy season. What they get with us is different. The Done Right Promise covers every repair and re-roof we do on Mr-Glass systems: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers on your Mr-Glass materials are registered in writing with durations stated before the truck leaves your driveway. And when you call, a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center routing you to whoever’s closest.

Our technicians work on Mr-Glass roofs every week, but they’re also authorized installers for more than a dozen other lines, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That matters when you’re weighing a repair against a replacement because we can put Mr-Glass side by side with PGT or CGI on paper and show you what each one costs, what it covers, and how long it’s warrantied. You make the call with real numbers in front of you. Owner Dale Kessler grew up in Sailboat Bend, trained at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and has spent two decades working South Florida roofs from Coral Ridge to Dania Beach. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and the same rule applies to a roof: if the line is not straight and the fastener is not seated, it isn’t finished.
