AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach Gardens, typically completing most skylight and roof-glazing replacements within one to two working days once parts are on hand. We are not a franchise operation and we are not affiliated with Mr-Glass, which means we quote the job based on what the opening actually needs, not what a corporate price sheet says it should cost. If you own a Mr-Glass roof product and the seal has failed or the frame is pulling away from the deck, call (772) 794-8169 and we will send a technician who has worked on these units before.
This page is written for Mr-Glass owners in Palm Beach Gardens who want to know what went wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether the repair will hold. It covers the failure patterns we see most often, how we approach the work, and what you should ask any contractor before they touch your roof.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass roof units in Palm Beach Gardens share a few failure patterns that differ from wall-mounted windows and doors. We have pulled enough of them apart to know what to look for before the first screw comes out.
- Seal failure on the Mr-Glass SkyVista series. The SkyVista line was popular in mid-2000s Palm Beach Gardens builds, and the insulated glass units tend to fail at the lower edge first. South Florida’s humidity gets drawn into the spacer, and once the desiccant is saturated, you get the fog that never clears. The fix is a full IGU replacement with a new spacer system rated for our moisture load, not a quick reseal that fails again in eighteen months.
- Frame flange corrosion on older Mr-Glass curb-mount skylights. Homes within a few miles of the Intracoastal get salt air that most aluminum flanges handle poorly when the factory finish is scratched during original installation. We see pitting and white oxide bloom at the screw holes. We replace the flange with a marine-grade alternative and re-bed the curb before setting the new unit.
- Improper original flashing on Mr-Glass residential roof glazing. A surprising number of roof installations were flashed with whatever was on the truck, not what the opening required. On flat or low-slope roofs common in Palm Beach Gardens, that means water wicks under the curb cap and into the ceiling. We strip the old flashing, correct the curb pitch if needed, and lay new flashing in sequence so water sheds outward, every layer lapped the right direction.
- Acrylic dome yellowing and cracking on the Mr-Glass SunDome series. The SunDome used an acrylic dome that reads as cheap but was actually engineered for UV exposure. Twenty years of Palm Beach Gardens sun still beats it down. Crazing at the corners is the first sign. We replace the dome with a polycarbonate unit where the opening allows, or match the original spec if the homeowner prefers it.
- Condensation between the panes of Mr-Glass venting skylights. The operable hardware on Mr-Glass venting units was never built for daily South Florida humidity cycles. The gaskets compress, the operator arm wears, and condensation follows. We rebuild the vent mechanism and replace the gasket set as part of the job, then test the open-close cycle under load before we call it done.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass job starts the same way: we find out what failed and why, before we order anything. Here is the sequence we have used for years in Palm Beach Gardens.
- 1
Call and diagnostics. You reach a live person at (772) 794-8169. We schedule a visit, and the technician walks the roof or attic access to inspect the unit, the curb, and the flashing. Photos go in the file.
- 2
Parts decision. Some Mr-Glass components are still available through specialty suppliers. Where OEM is discontinued or back-ordered for months, we quote a quality aftermarket equivalent on paper next to the OEM option so you see both numbers and both warranties.
- 3
Written scope and price. We line out the work line by line before you approve anything. If it is not in the written scope, it is not in the price – and if it is in the price, we stand behind it.
- 4
Removal and curb inspection. We pull the old unit and check the curb and deck condition. If there is rot or fastener pull-out, we fix it before the new unit goes in. Nothing gets covered over.
- 5
Installation, flashing, and seal. The new Mr-Glass or equivalent unit is set, fastened, flashed, and sealed. Both warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, per The Keystone Standard.
- 6
Water test and cleanup. We run a water test on the exterior, verify the interior dry, and leave the site clean. You get a final walk-through and our Done Right Promise in writing.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Pricing on Mr-Glass roof work in Palm Beach Gardens depends on unit type, curb condition, and whether the flashing needs full replacement. Here are the ranges we quote most often:
- Fixed skylight IGU replacement (seal failure): $650-$1,100 per unit
- Full fixed skylight replacement including flashing rework: $1,200-$2,000 per unit
- Venting skylight rebuild (hardware, gaskets, IGU): $900-$1,500 per unit
- Full venting skylight replacement: $1,800-$2,800 per unit
- Curb repair or rebuild (if deck rot is found): $350-$800 additional, depending on extent
What moves the price is the curb condition and the roof decking underneath, not the brand name. If the original install was flashed incorrectly and water has been working on the deck for years, the repair scope grows. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate with line-item pricing. You will know the full number before any work begins.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, but the work goes back further than that. Dale grew up off Northlake Boulevard, learned the trade through Palm Beach State College’s building construction program, and spent his early years on impact glazing installations across the Treasure Coast. He has focused on windows and doors in South Florida for more than two decades, and that includes roof glazing that most contractors walk away from.
We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we make the call based on what the opening needs. We also work across more than a dozen manufacturer lines including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so if a full replacement makes more sense than repairing the existing Mr-Glass unit, we can quote you side-by-side options on paper and let you decide. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will be there when we say.
FAQs
No. We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Mr-Glass, which means we are free to quote the repair honestly without a manufacturer relationship steering the work. Our techs know these units from hands-on experience, not from a factory training video.
Most Mr-Glass roof units we see in Palm Beach Gardens can be repaired if the frame and curb are structurally sound. Seal failures, gasket wear, and hardware rebuilds are all repairable. The exception is a compromised curb or deck, at which point a full replacement makes more sense than patching. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will tell you which situation you have.
A typical Mr-Glass skylight replacement or IGU swap takes one working day on site. If the curb needs rebuilding or the flashing is being fully redone, expect two days. Parts lead time varies by supplier, so we quote that upfront and do not start until everything is on hand.
Yes. Every Mr-Glass job we do includes our Done Right Promise in writing: if it is not done right, we make it right with no paperwork fights and no arguing. We also register both warranty layers, manufacturer and workmanship, before the truck leaves the driveway.
Ask whether they have worked on Mr-Glass units specifically, whether they are quoting OEM or aftermarket parts, and whether the flashing is included in the price or charged as an extra once the unit is pulled. A square deal is when all of that is in writing before the job starts. That is how we quote every job in Palm Beach Gardens.
