How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Every roof brand has its own way of giving up. Mr-Glass roofs in Fort Lauderdale tend to fail in patterns we’ve learned to spot fast, after more than a decade of tearing off old roofs and seeing what’s underneath. Here’s what we run into most often, and what we do about it.
- Lifted shingles at the eaves on the Mr-Glass Architectural line. The Architectural series looks great the day it goes on, but Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms hit the eave line hard, and the adhesive strip can break down faster than expected near salt air. We see this often along Las Olas and Rio Vista. The fix is a full inspection of the starter course and possibly a mechanical fastening upgrade at the eaves, not just a dab of sealant.
- Granule shedding within 6-8 years on the Mr-Glass Classic 3-Tab. Classic 3-Tab is a budget line, and in South Florida sun it sheds granules early. The real cause isn’t the shingle itself; it’s heat-soak on unventilated attics. We check ridge and soffit ventilation before we put any new roof on, because if we don’t, the next Mr-Glass roof fails the same way in the same number of years.
- Underlayment rot at the valleys on Mr-Glass Designer Series installs. Valley metal flashing is where most water wants to go, and if the original installer didn’t lay a proper valley membrane underneath, the decking rots silently. We’ve opened up Mr-Glass Designer Series roofs in Fort Lauderdale and found plywood you could push a screwdriver through, while the shingles up top looked fine. Our tear-off always includes valley deck inspection, and we replace rot before anything goes back on.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion around pipe boots and vent collars. The rubber boot around plumbing vents degrades in Florida’s UV, and on Mr-Glass roofs with older vent flashing, that’s where the first watermark shows up on the ceiling. It looks like a shingle problem; it’s actually a boot problem. We replace every boot and collar during a new installation, regardless of how it looks, because it costs far less than doing a second trip later.
- Improper nailing patterns on cheap Mr-Glass installs. We’ve torn off Mr-Glass roofs where nails were driven high on the shingle tab instead of in the nailing strip, leaving the tabs loose enough to rip off in wind. That’s installer error, not manufacturer defect, but it means the new roof we install gets a nailing pattern that’s actually checked, not assumed. Each shingle gets its fasteners where they belong, every time.
The pattern here is obvious if you’ve owned a home down here long enough: most Mr-Glass roof failures in Fort Lauderdale are installation and ventilation problems wearing a shingle-brand costume. That’s what we actually fix.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s exactly how a Mr-Glass roof replacement goes with our crew, start to finish.
- 1
The call and the conversation. You call (904) 913-5886, a person answers (even at 2 a.m.), and we schedule a roof assessment. We ask about leaks, past repairs, insurance claims, and how long you’ve owned the house.
- 2
The full inspection. We walk the roof, check the attic, look at the flashing, the boots, the deck edges, and the ventilation. You get a written report, not a verbal shrug.
- 3
The honest material conversation. We discuss what Mr-Glass line is on the roof now, whether it makes sense to install Mr-Glass again or move to PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows as an alternative, and what the price difference actually is. We never push you into more roof than your house needs.
- 4
The written estimate. Line-item pricing, no vague allowances, no “we’ll see what happens.” If we have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. That’s just how we work.
- 5
The tear-off and deck inspection. The day we start, the old roof comes off and we inspect every sheet of decking. If there’s rot, you see it before we cover it, and we show you the photo and the replacement cost before any work proceeds. No surprises buried in a final invoice.
- 6
Install, flash, ventilate, clean, and walk through. New underlayment, new shingles or metal or tile, new flashing at every penetration, ventilation checked, and a magnetic nail sweep over the whole property before we leave. Then we walk the roof and the yard with you and explain what was done and why.
Every step is documented. You get photos of the deck before it’s covered, the underlayment before shingles, and the finished roof. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here are real numbers for Fort Lauderdale homes, based on the jobs we’ve priced in neighborhoods from Victoria Park to Coral Ridge to Sailboat Bend. These are full replacement prices including tear-off, haul-away, underlayment, installation, flashing, and cleanup.
- Mr-Glass Architectural shingle roof, 1,800-2,200 sq ft: $9,500 to $14,000
- Mr-Glass Architectural shingle roof, 2,500-3,200 sq ft: $13,500 to $19,500
- Flat or low-slope section with modified bitumen or torch-down: $3,500 to $7,500 additional, depending on size
- Deck replacement due to rot (per 4×8 sheet): $85 to $140 per sheet, materials and labor
- Replacing all pipe boots, vent collars, and flashing: included in our replacement price, not an add-on
- Tile or metal roof replacement: $18,000 to $38,000, depending on material and roof complexity
What moves the price: roof pitch (steep roofs cost more in labor and safety gear), number of roof penetrations (pipes, vents, skylights), whether the existing roof has one layer or two to tear off, and whether Fort Lauderdale’s salt and humidity have eaten the decking. We give you a written estimate that doesn’t move unless we find rot under the old roof, and even then, we show you the rot before we touch it.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been doing this since 2011, and we’re still answering the phone ourselves. Ed Winslow founded this company with one rule: “My name’s on the door - literally. That means it gets done right.” The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs that rule. If the roof we install doesn’t hold up, we come back and make it right. That’s a century of accountability, and it’s not a marketing slogan. It’s how we’ve stayed in business in Fort Lauderdale for over a decade.
Every tech who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s on your property before they step off the truck. The phone is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No call centers, no voicemail tag. And because we install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows alongside Mr-Glass, you get an honest conversation about which roof system actually makes sense for your house, not whichever one we’re pushing that month.
Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. Any repair over $200 gets $40 off. If you’re inside our home county, there’s no trip charge. And if you have a written estimate from another Fort Lauderdale roofer, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
The one down the road.
FAQs
No. Installing a new Mr-Glass roof does not void any warranty, as long as the installation follows the manufacturer’s nailing patterns, ventilation specs, and underlayment requirements. We install to those specs, and we document everything so your warranty stays intact. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk you through what your current warranty covers.
Yes, we can match most Mr-Glass shingle colors for partial repairs, but on Fort Lauderdale roofs over 10 years old, sun fading means even a matching shingle won’t look seamless. If your roof is young and damage is isolated, a repair makes sense. If it’s older or failing in multiple spots, replacement is usually the honest answer. We’ll tell you which applies to your roof at no cost.
Most standard shingle replacements on Fort Lauderdale homes take 3 to 5 working days from tear-off to final cleanup. Tile and metal roofs take longer, usually 7 to 12 days. Weather can stretch a timeline, but we schedule around South Florida’s afternoon storm pattern and keep you updated daily.
Yes. We pull all required permits for every roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale and schedule the inspections. Permits and inspections passed are part of our standard process, not an optional add-on. You’ll have the inspection paperwork when the job is done.
No, unless we find rotted decking or water-damaged framing under the old roof. If we do, we show you the damage with photos before any repair work proceeds, and you approve any additional cost in writing first. There are no surprise charges on the final invoice. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
