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

Mr-Glass builds impact windows and doors that hold up well in South Florida, but every product line has its weak points. Here’s what we see on service calls across Fort Lauderdale, from Rio Vista to Coral Ridge, and what we do about it.

• Roller and track failure on Mr-Glass sliding glass doors. The MG-750 series slider is common in Fort Lauderdale condos and older ranch homes, and its original rollers were not built for the fine sand that blows in from the beach. Once grit works into the bearing, the door gets heavier every month until the track starts to gouge. We replace the rollers with sealed stainless-steel aftermarket units and dress the track, which usually brings the door back to a two-finger slide.
• Fogging between panes on Mr-Glass Series 800 insulated impact units. When the desiccant seal around the spacer bar fails, moisture gets trapped between the glass and you get that permanent haze no amount of Windex will touch. This is not a re-seal job, no matter what anyone tells you. The fix is replacing the insulated glass unit, and we source it to match the original impact rating so your window doesn’t quietly lose its storm protection.
• Corrosion at the weep holes on Mr-Glass casement windows. Fort Lauderdale’s salt air attacks the aluminum frame at the weep holes first, because that’s where standing water lingers after a storm. Left alone, it spreads under the powder coat and you start seeing blistering at the bottom corners. We address it early by clearing the weeps, treating the corrosion, and resealing the affected area before it compromises the frame’s structural integrity.
• Balance spring fatigue on Mr-Glass single-hung windows. The MG-500 and MG-600 single-hungs use a spiral balance system that, after ten or twelve years of daily use, loses tension unevenly. The window starts dropping on one side or becomes a fight to lift. Some companies will tell you the whole sash needs replacing. We replace the balance springs and pivot shoes, which costs a fraction of a new window and restores proper operation.
• Gasket and weatherstripping breakdown on Mr-Glass fixed picture windows. The rubber gaskets around fixed units dry out and shrink under Florida sun, especially on west-facing walls that take the afternoon heat. You’ll notice drafts, more road noise from Federal Highway, and sometimes a faint whistle during storms. We replace the gaskets with marine-grade material that’s rated for UV exposure, and we check the frame for any warping while we’re at it.

Our Mr-Glass Impact Windows Process

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. No voicemail loop, no call center. We listen to what’s happening with your Mr-Glass window or door and schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We come out and diagnose. A background-checked, uniformed technician shows up at your Fort Lauderdale home, takes the unit apart far enough to see what’s actually failing, and explains what we found in plain English.
3. 3
   We give you a written, line-item price. You’ll know exactly what parts and labor cost before we touch anything. No vague allowances, no surprises later on the invoice.
4. 4
   We decide together on OEM or aftermarket parts. For most Mr-Glass repairs, factory parts are the right call, especially for anything tied to the impact rating. But when a high-quality aftermarket part is more durable and costs less, we’ll tell you and let you decide. We never use parts that would void a remaining warranty or compromise the window’s protection.
5. 5
   We do the repair or replacement, then test it. For impact windows, that means verifying the glass unit matches the original rating, the frame is sealed to code, and the window operates the way it should.
6. 6
   We clean up and back it up. The work area looks like we were never there, and everything we do is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.

What Mr-Glass Impact Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Honest numbers, because vague estimates are how homeowners get burned. Here’s what we typically see in Fort Lauderdale for Mr-Glass work:

• Single window repair (roller, balance, or gasket): $145-$385, depending on parts and access.
• Insulated glass unit replacement (fogged or cracked pane): $350-$900 per unit for a standard Mr-Glass impact-rated IGU.
• Full Mr-Glass impact window replacement: $850-$2,400 per window installed, with the biggest variables being size, series, and whether the existing frame can be reused.
• Sliding glass door rebuild (new rollers, track work, gaskets): $400-$1,100, depending on door size and track condition.

What moves the price is the glass, not the labor. Impact-rated laminated glass costs real money, and a Mr-Glass Series 800 thermal unit runs more than a basic builder-grade pane. Every estimate is free, written, and honored at the price we quote. We also give $40 off any repair over $200, and seniors and veterans get 10% off permanently. Call (904) 913-5886 for an exact quote.
