This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who already have Mr-Glass windows and need straight answers: what’s actually wrong, what it costs, and whether repair or replacement makes more sense. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, founded in 2011 and owned by Ed Winslow. We’ve worked on enough Mr-Glass installs in Boca Raton to know exactly where these windows succeed and where they tend to fail after years of salt air and hurricane-season heat.

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

• Mr-Glass 8500 Series: seal failure at the sill corners. The 8500 series uses an interlocking sash design that performs well in lab testing, but in Boca Raton the southeast-facing exposures take relentless morning sun. We see the corner seals on the lower sash break down first, usually around year 7 to 10, letting humidity into the glass pack. The window fogs, and no amount of cleaning fixes it. Our fix is a full glass pack replacement with a desiccant system that holds up better to Florida humidity, not a patch job.
• Mr-Glass 7500 single-hung: balance shoe wear that makes the sash slam. The 7500 line is a workhorse, but the balance shoes are plastic. In the heat of a Boca Raton summer, plastic embrittles faster than it would up north. When the shoe cracks, the sash drops hard, which is dangerous and wrecks the meeting rail. We replace the balance shoe and spring as a pair and re-tension the system to original spec.
• Mr-Glass casement windows near the coast: hinge corrosion. Along A1A and in neighborhoods like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, the stainless steel hinges on Mr-Glass casements still pick up pitting from salt spray. The window gets stiff, then won’t seal. We swap the hinges with marine-grade replacements and realign the sash so the compression seal seats fully against the frame.
• Mr-Glass horizontal roller: track build-up in the bottom rail. Boca Raton’s sandy soil means grit ends up in the roller track of sliding windows, especially in communities along the El Rio canal. The original rollers gum up, and the sash starts dragging. We remove the sash, clean the track, install sealed bearing rollers, and the window glides again. It’s a 90-minute fix most of the time.
• Mr-Glass fixed picture windows: frame gasket compression set. Fixed windows don’t open, so people assume they never fail. We’ve replaced frame gaskets on Mr-Glass picture windows in The Sanctuary and other gated communities where the original rubber has flattened from a decade of thermal cycling. A flattened gasket can’t keep wind-driven rain out. The fix is a full re-gasket with a material rated for the same design pressure as the original, so the window keeps its impact rating.

Our Mr-Glass Impact Windows Process

When you call us about a Mr-Glass window in Boca Raton, here’s exactly how the job goes:

1. 1
   The call. A live person answers at (561) 816-5648 and asks what you’re seeing: fog, sticking, noise, water. We schedule a time that works for you, no trip charge inside the home county.
2. 2
   The diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, introduces himself by name, and inspects the window. On Mr-Glass units we check the glass pack, the balance system or hinges, the weatherstripping, and the frame for square. You get a written explanation of what’s wrong before any work begins.
3. 3
   The parts decision. If a Mr-Glass OEM component is available and priced reasonably, we use it. If it’s backordered or overpriced, we’ll tell you and offer a quality aftermarket equivalent that meets the same design pressure rating. The choice is yours, laid out plainly. We don’t quietly install a knockoff and bill it as original.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We complete the work on-site in most cases, whether that’s a glass pack swap, a balance system rebuild, or a full frame-to-frame window replacement when the existing unit is beyond saving.
5. 5
   The test. We run the window through its full range of motion, check the seal compression, and water-test the exterior. For impact units, we verify the glass pack is seated properly in the frame so the window retains its design pressure rating.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every Mr-Glass job we do is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Simple as that.
