AfterMr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
Mr-Glass shingle, tile & metal roofing in Fort Lauderdale involves servicing and replacing roof systems on homes where Mr-Glass windows and doors are already installed, and the typical repair runs $350 to $1,800 depending on roof type and the extent of weather damage. Most shingle repairs take a day; tile and metal work often means two to three days once materials are ordered. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a franchise arm of the manufacturer, so our pricing reflects the actual work a Fort Lauderdale home needs, not a national fee schedule.
If you own a home along Las Olas, in Victoria Park, or anywhere from Rio Vista to Coral Ridge where Mr-Glass products keep the envelope tight, this page explains how we handle the roof above them. Call (904) 913-5886 and a real person answers.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass windows and doors are built for South Florida, but the roofing systems they sit under take a different beating. Here’s what we run into most often on Fort Lauderdale homes with Mr-Glass installations.
- Flashing separation at Mr-Glass impact window headers. Mr-Glass window frames are heavy, and when shingle roofs are re-done by crews who don’t understand that weight distribution, the flashing pulls away within a season or two. Water tracks inside the wall cavity and you’ll see stucco staining just below the window corners. We re-flash with wider step flashing and re-seat the Mr-Glass frame anchors before roofing paper goes down.
- Tile roof valleys leaking above Mr-Glass sliding door installations. On Fort Lauderdale barrel-tile roofs, valleys channel a serious volume of water during summer squalls. If the valley metal wasn’t cut long enough, water backs up at the Mr-Glass sliding door threshold and wicks under the track. The real cause is almost always undersized valley flashing paired with the door’s low-profile sill. We replace the valley, extend the metal, and reseal the door pan before reinstalling tiles.
- Galvanic corrosion eating metal roof panels near Mr-Glass fixed windows. This one surprises homeowners. Aluminum Mr-Glass frames in direct contact with certain metal roof sheet flashing create a galvanic reaction in our salt-laden air. You’ll notice white, chalky buildup at the window-to-roof intersection and eventual pinholes in the flashing. We install a proper isolation membrane and switch to compatible fasteners; leaving it alone means a bigger patch job every couple of years.
- Roof-to-wall transitions pulling loose on Mr-Glass picture window walls. Homes with wide Mr-Glass fixed picture windows often have minimal wall studs above the header, so roof decking screws have less to bite into. After enough Atlantic wind, the transition trim lifts and the first rain blows water straight under the shingle edge. We add structural backing behind the fascia connection and use mechanical fastening rather than relying on sealant alone.
- Poorly detailed secondary water barriers behind Mr-Glass corner installations. Corner windows catch wind-driven rain from two directions, and a roof leak above a corner Mr-Glass window will show up as water inside the frame pocket, not on the ceiling. The actual leak is usually a torn or missing section of peel-and-stick underlayment up on the roof’s eave. We open the eaves, re-run the barrier correctly, then re-shape the shingle or tile transition so water never tracks sideways into the frame pocket.

Parts decision, made clear. For Mr-Glass-specific flashing or trim, we use OEM if the manufacturer still supplies it and it’s the better part. When OEM is backordered or overpriced for what it is, we present quality aftermarket options in the written quote before any work starts. No surprises mid-job.

The repair or replacement happens. Shingle work is usually same-day. Tile and metal jobs follow a set schedule we walk through with you before the crew starts. Background-checked, uniformed techs, and Ed’s name is on the job the whole way through.

Water test and cleanup. We run water at every repair point, confirm the Mr-Glass frame interiors are dry, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
Ed Winslow has been measuring, fitting, and standing behind South Florida installations since 2011, and plenty of those jobs sit along Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas corridor, where salt air and hard Atlantic storms separate quality work from everything else. My name’s on the door - literally. That means it gets done right.
We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, and we bring something no manufacturer helpline can offer: techs who work on the full exterior. When a Mr-Glass wall is failing because the roof above it wasn’t flashed right, we see both sides of the problem. We also install and service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means our crew isn’t guessing at how a heavy impact window behaves under a Fort Lauderdale roof system. We know because we’ve installed both. Free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge in our home county, $40 off any repair over $200, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. Call (904) 913-5886 any hour, and a neighbor answers.
FAQs
No. Mr-Glass product warranties cover the windows and doors themselves, not the roofing system above them. Roof leaks that show up at a Mr-Glass frame are almost always a flashing or roofing paper failure, which is a separate repair entirely. We preserve any active Mr-Glass warranty by never drilling or modifying the window frame itself during roof work. Call (904) 913-5886 if you’re unsure which layer is failing, and we’ll pinpoint it on the first visit.
For shingle roof leaks with visible damage, yes, same-day repair is common. Tile and metal jobs usually need one to two days for material matching and proper sealant curing in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity. The fastest way to get an answer is to call (904) 913-5886 and describe where the water shows up; we’ll tell you honestly what timeline to expect.
We use OEM flashing and trim pieces when they’re available and actually better for the job. When Mr-Glass OEM parts are backordered or priced unreasonably for a simple roof transition, we quote quality aftermarket alternatives in writing before any work begins. Either way, you approve the parts list first, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the result.
Repair makes sense when the roof decking is sound, the underlayment is intact outside the leak area, and the Mr-Glass frames themselves show no water intrusion. Replacement is the better call when you have multiple leak points, failing tile radials, or rusting metal panels across a wide section of roof. We’ll show you photographs of both the damage and the surrounding roof condition so you decide with real information, not pressure. Estimates are free.
No. We write fixed, itemized quotes, and we don’t hit you with change orders unless you ask us to expand the scope. The one honest exception is hidden water damage behind shingles or tiles, which we’ll show you in photos before touching it and quote separately. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
