Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Boca Raton: What to Know First
If you have a Mr-Glass roof in Boca Raton that needs shingle, tile, or metal work, we can usually get a technician to your home within a few days, diagnose the issue, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, which means we answer to you, not to a corporate warranty department. Most repairs we handle run between $350 and $2,800 depending on what failed, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a section repair makes more sense than a full replacement.
This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who already have a Mr-Glass roof or are considering one and want to know what actually breaks, what it costs to fix, and who to call when it does. If you’re looking at a leak, a lifted tile, or a rusted metal panel, call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll help you figure out the next step over the phone.

How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We’ve been inside enough Mr-Glass roofs across Boca Raton to know that most failures aren’t the glass itself. The glass holds up. It’s what surrounds it, seals it, and flashes it that causes the trouble. Here are the five failure patterns we see most often.
- Flashing deterioration at parapet walls on flat-roof Mr-Glass tile sections. In neighborhoods like Boca Square and Spanish River Land, the original TPO or modified bitumen flashing at roof-to-wall transitions dries out and cracks within 8 to 12 years of Florida sun. We pull the old flashing, inspect the tile bed beneath, and install new peel-and-stick membrane with proper termination bar before re-seating the tile. This is the most common Mr-Glass leak source we fix.
- Micro-cracking along the lower edge of Mr-Glass SolarCool metal panels. We consistently see hairline fractures forming at the fastener line after years of thermal expansion and contraction in Boca Raton’s afternoon heat. The panels expand, the screws don’t move, and stress concentrates right at the hole. We replace affected panels with matching gauge and profile, using oversized washers and re-cut slots that let the metal move the way it was designed to.
- Loss of granule adhesion on Mr-Glass asphalt shingle lines installed before 2016. On older installations in communities like Paradise Palms, the mineral granules start washing off the shingle surface after a decade of rain and UV. It’s not a leak by itself, but bare spots accelerate brittleness. We can do a targeted shingle replacement now and save you a full tear-off later, or we can give you a straight opinion that the roof’s reached its useful life.
- Wind-lifted ridge tiles on Mr-Glass barrel tile installations. Boca Raton gets real wind, and ridge tiles take the brunt. We find lifted or missing ridge tiles routinely after storms, even on roofs installed by reputable crews. The mortar or adhesive bond fails at the ridge line first. We reset the tiles with a modern polymer adhesive that flexes with the roof’s thermal movement and then run a full ridge-line inspection for hidden cracks.
- Corrosion at panel lap joints on coastal Mr-Glass metal roofs. Homes east of Federal Highway near the beach, from Boca Raton’s oceanfront condos to single-family homes along A1A, deal with salt spray that eats at unprotected lap joints. We see rust forming where panels overlap, especially on non-aluminum metal. We clean the affected area, treat the corrosion, and apply a marine-grade sealant before installing new overlapping panels with proper spacing so water can’t wick between them.
Our Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every Mr-Glass job follows the same careful sequence, because Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and learned early that South Florida weather doesn’t forgive sloppy work. My name’s on the truck, so the work has to be right. Here’s how we handle your repair.
- 1
Call and assessment. You call (561) 816-5648. A live person picks up, every time, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing: a stain on the ceiling, a tile on the lawn, a panel that sounds loose in the wind.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives, gets on the roof, and walks the whole structure, not just the spot you pointed at. We document findings with photos and show you exactly what’s wrong.
- 3
Parts decision. We check whether original Mr-Glass components are still produced and available locally, or whether a quality aftermarket part will serve better at lower cost. We never use parts we wouldn’t put on our own roof.
- 4
The repair. Shingles get replaced and sealed with proper nail patterns and adhesives. Tile gets re-bed with the correct profile match. Metal gets stripped, treated, and re-installed with expansion-compensating fasteners.
- 5
Water test and cleanup. Every repair gets hose-tested at the repair point. Nails, old flashing, broken tile, and packaging leave your property the same day.
- 6
The guarantee. Every job, no exceptions, carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right, period.

What moves the price? Roof pitch, story height, whether we’re matching an existing profile, and how much of the surrounding area needs to come up to reach the damage. You get a written line-item quote before any work starts, and that quote doesn’t change unless we find something significant you approve in writing first. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote.

No. As an independent service provider, we use fastener patterns, sealants, and installation methods that are either neutral to or consistent with manufacturer installation specs.

Yes, in most cases we can match the tile profile exactly, especially for the common flat and barrel profiles used in Boca Raton communities. When the original profile has been discontinued, we source the closest available match and always show you a physical sample before installation. You approve the match before we set it.
For isolated damage, repair is always cheaper, usually by a factor of five to ten compared to replacement. If you’re calling us more than twice a year, replacement starts to make financial sense. We’ll give you our honest assessment with no incentive to sell you a new roof unless the numbers really work.
No. The quote you approve is the price you pay. If we open up the repair and find hidden damage that requires additional scope, we stop, show you photos, explain what’s needed, and get your written approval before proceeding. You’re never billed for work you didn’t agree to in advance.
