This page is for homeowners in Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, Pinecrest, and the surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods who have a Mr-Glass roof element that needs attention. Dale Kessler grew up near Old Cutler Road, so he knows what the salt air and August storms do to roof glass out here. We’ll tell you straight whether your Mr-Glass unit should be repaired or replaced, and why.

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

• Seal failure on Mr-Glass structural roof panels. The butyl and silicone seals on older Mr-Glass roof glazing break down faster in Palmetto Bay than the manufacturer’s average lifecycle numbers suggest, because the salt-laden humidity works into the seal edge year-round. You’ll see condensation between panes or a cloudy film that will not wipe clean. We pull the panel, strip the old sealant to bare aluminum, and re-glaze with a marine-grade sealant rated for constant UV and salt exposure. If the insulated glass unit itself has failed, we order a replacement IGU sized to the original opening.
• Frame corrosion at the curb mount. Mr-Glass roof frames on older installs were often set on aluminum curbs without adequate isolation between dissimilar metals. In Palmetto Bay, where the afternoon sea breeze carries a fine salt mist most days, that junction corrodes faster than anyone expects. We see pitting and white oxidation at the curb line. The fix is removing the entire unit, treating the curb, replacing the isolation barrier, and resetting the frame with proper drainage slope.
• Weep hole blockage leading to standing water. Mr-Glass skylight and roof window frames rely on weep channels to drain condensation and minor water intrusion. In South Florida, those small channels clog with wind-blown debris, pollen, and the fine gray dust that settles on every Palmetto Bay roof. Blocked weeps trap water against the seal, and eventually that water finds a way inside. We clear the channels and, on units where the weep design is too narrow for this climate, we open them slightly and add debris screens that do not restrict flow.
• Laminated glass delamination on sloped Mr-Glass units. Some Mr-Glass roof applications use laminated glass for impact protection. In direct, all-day South Florida sun, the interlayer can begin to separate at the edges, showing as a milky band around the panel perimeter. This is not a cleaning issue. The panel must be replaced. We match the original lite configuration and, where the homeowner wants it, we can step up to a heavier impact lamination that meets current Miami-Dade code.
• Improper original slope leading to ponding. We have been called to more than a few Palmetto Bay homes where a Mr-Glass roof panel was originally installed with barely enough pitch to shed water. Flat or nearly flat glass roofs pond water every afternoon thunderstorm, and the constant thermal cycling from standing water stresses the seals. If the curb or framing allows, we correct the slope on replacement. If it does not, we tell you that plainly and build the replacement around the reality of the opening rather than promising something the structure will not support.

Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process

1. 1
   Call and inspection. You call (386) 200-9224. A live person answers. We schedule a time to look at your Mr-Glass roof unit, on the roof if it is safe to access, and inside at the ceiling line.
2. 2
   Diagnosis and written quote. We measure the opening twice, check the curb or framing condition, and determine whether we’re replacing glass only, the entire frame, or just re-sealing. You get a written quote with the exact work described and the price fixed.
3. 3
   Parts decision. Where Mr-Glass OEM parts are still available, we quote them. Where they are discontinued or the lead time is months long, we quote a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you the difference in plain terms before you spend a dollar.
4. 4
   The work. We remove the failed unit, prep the curb and sealing surfaces, set the new panel or frame, and seal it with materials suited to a Miami-Dade roof. Everything is flashed and sloped to drain.
5. 5
   Water test and cleanup. Before we leave, we run water over the install and check the interior ceiling line for any sign of intrusion. The site is left clean, and any old glass and frame material is hauled off.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Your warranty layers are registered in writing. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship, and if anything is not right, we come back and make it right without a paperwork fight.

What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palmetto Bay

Here are honest numbers for the Mr-Glass roof work we do most often in Palmetto Bay. Every job gets a written quote before we start, and these figures show the range we typically see.

What moves the price is curb condition, roof pitch, glass type, and whether the frame can be salvaged. Corroded curbs require metalwork before the glass ever goes in, and that changes the estimate. Call (386) 200-9224 for a free estimate. We come out, measure, and hand you a written quote. No pressure, no obligation.

Why Palmetto Bay Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work

We’ve been in this community since 2008, and when a Palmetto Bay homeowner calls us about a Mr-Glass roof unit, they get a real person and a straight answer. Dale Kessler’s rule is the same one his father, a finish carpenter, taught him: “If it is not right in the opening, it will not be right in a hurricane.” That’s how we approach every Mr-Glass panel we reset or replace.

We’re not authorized by Mr-Glass, which means we have no reason to steer you toward a replacement when a re-seal would hold for another decade. It also means we quote the work honestly and in writing. The Keystone Standard keeps us accountable: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. And if Mr-Glass turns out to be the wrong fit for what you need, we also work with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so a roof replacement can be quoted side by side in manufacturers’ actual specifications. The job is done right, and we stand behind it.

FAQs

Can you still get Mr-Glass parts for older roof units? Some Mr-Glass OEM parts are still available, but many have been discontinued, and lead times can be long. Where OEM is unavailable, we quote a quality aftermarket equivalent and show you both options on paper before any order is placed.

Will replacing my Mr-Glass roof unit void the warranty on other parts of the system? That depends on the age and terms of your original Mr-Glass warranty. As an independent provider, we advise you to check your paperwork, but most warranties that are still active cover manufacturing defects only and are not affected by an independent repair on a separate panel. Call (386) 200-9224 and we’ll walk through what your situation looks like.

Is it better to repair or replace a fogged Mr-Glass roof panel in Palmetto Bay? If the fogging is between the panes, the insulated glass unit has failed and the only real fix is replacement. If the frame is sound, we replace just the IGU, which keeps the job smaller and the cost lower. If the frame has corrosion or the curb is failing, replacing the entire assembly is the smarter money.

How long does a Mr-Glass roof replacement take in Palmetto Bay? Most single-panel replacements are done in one day. A full multi-panel system with curb work typically takes two days. The biggest variable is parts lead time on glass, and we tell you that timeline up front.

Do you pull permits for Mr-Glass roof work? Yes. Any structural glazing work in Miami-Dade needs a permit, and we pull it before we start. If your job requires an inspection, we schedule it and make sure it passes. Call (386) 200-9224 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
