AfterMr-Glass Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof repair in Fort Lauderdale runs $275-$650 for most skylight re-seals, flashing replacements, and glass unit swaps. We complete most single-unit repairs in one visit, and we’ll tell you plainly whether a repair or full replacement is the smarter spend.
This page is for homeowners with a Mr-Glass skylight, sunroom roof, or glass roof panel that’s leaking, fogged, or cracked. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. We service Mr-Glass units alongside PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means we’re not tied to one glass line and we’ll quote you honestly on what actually fits. Call (954) 280-4413.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Mr-Glass Sunroom Roof Panels (Thermal Fracture): The laminated glass in older Mr-Glass sunroom roof panels develops hairline cracks from Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon heat cycling. The roof bakes all day, then an afternoon storm drops the surface temperature thirty degrees in ten minutes. We replace the panel with a matching thickness and solar heat gain coefficient so the room doesn’t turn into a greenhouse, and we adjust the setting blocks so the new panel isn’t pinched at the corners, which is what causes the next crack.
- Mr-Glass Skylight Flashing Separation: The aluminum flashing Mr-Glass used on curved skylights is pressed into a channel around the curb and sealed with butyl. After fifteen or so Florida summers, that butyl dries, shrinks, and pulls away from the curb. Water tracks along the channel and drips inside the light well. We strip the old butyl, re-seat the flashing, and re-seal with a UV-stable urethane that holds up in salt air.
- Mr-Glass Fogged Insulated Skylight Units: When the seal between the two panes fails, you get condensation you can’t wipe off, from the inside. That haze is permanent. The fix is a new insulated glass unit with the same Low-E coating and argon fill. We measure the opening twice, order the unit to the exact daylight opening, and register the glass warranty in writing before we leave.
- Mr-Glass Tube Skylight Domes (Discoloration and Crazing): The acrylic domes on Mr-Glass tube skylights cloud over after years of UV exposure. The dome gets brittle, develops fine surface cracks called crazing, and starts to look like an old headlight lens. We replace the dome with a factory-matching diffuser and inspect the roof flashing around the tube to confirm the seal is still sound. It’s a smaller job, usually under $300.
- Mr-Glass Roof Glass Frame Corrosion: In Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, the aluminum frame members holding Mr-Glass roof glass can corrode, especially at the corners where different metals meet. We see it most in homes east of US-1, where the sea breeze is constant. The fix starts with an assessment of whether the frame can be treated and sealed or should be replaced. We never paint over corrosion and call it repaired.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (954) 280-4413, and a live person answers. We schedule a time. We show up when we say we will.
- 2
We inspect from the roof and from the interior. A uniformed, background-checked technician looks at the glass, the frame, the flashing, and the roof membrane around the unit. We want to know whether the leak is the Mr-Glass unit or the roof around it. That distinction saves you from paying for the wrong repair.
- 3
You get a written quote. We price the repair with manufacturer-specified parts where they matter, and quality aftermarket parts where they cost less and perform the same. We put it on paper side by side so you see exactly what you are buying.
- 4
We do the work. The repair happens in one visit for most skylight and roof panel jobs. We keep the roof clean and protect the light well below.
- 5
We test before we leave. A water test on the sealed joint, a visual clarity check on the new glass. If the pane isn’t true, the job isn’t done.
- 6
We leave you the paperwork. The Done Right Promise applies to the workmanship. Manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway.
What Mr-Glass Roof Repair Costs in Fort Lauderdale
These are real ranges for jobs we do in Fort Lauderdale. Every quote is fixed and written, no surprise line items on the bill.
- Tube skylight dome replacement: $180-$275
- Skylight flashing re-seal and butyl strip: $325-$550, depending on curb height and roof access
- Insulated skylight glass unit replacement (fogged seal): $400-$650, sized by unit

What moves the price: roof pitch and safety gear requirements, whether the unit is second-story or higher, and whether the Mr-Glass model needs a custom-ordered insulated glass unit versus a stock panel. Fort Lauderdale’s humid, salt-air environment means we sometimes find hidden damage to the roof curb or decking once the unit is out. If that happens, we stop and show you what we found before any additional work is done. Call (954) 280-4413 for a fixed, written quote.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We have a Done Right Promise on every repair, and we honor it without paperwork fights. If it is not done right, we make it right, period.
Dale Kessler grew up in Sailboat Bend and learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie. He has put in impact-rated units from Coral Ridge to Dania Beach. The company was founded in 2008 out of a principle: warranties should be registered in writing, and installs should be true. That is the Keystone Standard, and it applies to Mr-Glass roof repairs the same as every window and door we touch.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree and not a regional call center. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. If your Mr-Glass unit is beyond reasonable repair, we will say so, and we carry PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows as alternatives so you are not cornered into one manufacturer’s product line. We’ll be there when we say, and we stand behind it.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. Leaks are usually flashing failures or dried sealant, not glass failure. If the insulated glass unit itself is fogged, the glass needs replacement, but the frame and curb often stay in place. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you honestly which category yours falls into.
As an independent service provider, we cannot speak to the exact language in your original Mr-Glass warranty. What we can tell you is that aftermarket glass and sealants used on a like-for-like basis rarely void warranties, but we recommend you check your written warranty. We inspect any replaced unit with the original install conditions in mind, so the repair doesn’t set off a chain of exclusions down the line.
Most repairs are completed in one visit, with the glass ordered ahead if it’s a custom insulated unit. If the weather is actively leaking into your home, we prioritize the job and get a temporary seal in place until the new glass arrives. Call for an exact timeline; we’ll give you a straight answer.
For a single cracked or fogged panel, repair is almost always cheaper. You’re looking at $450 to $700 per panel versus replacing the whole sunroom roof. We’ll only recommend full replacement if the frame is beyond salvaging or the roof system is so outdated that matching parts are no longer made, at which point we’ll show you PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows alternatives side by side on paper.
We specialize in residential work, but we’ll take a look at small commercial sunrooms or glass roofs on a case-by-case basis. We serve Fort Lauderdale homeowners first, and we’ll be straight with you about whether we’re the right crew for the job. Call (954) 280-4413.
