AfterMr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Boca Raton: What to Know First
Custom and geometric Mr-Glass windows in Boca Raton typically cost between $850 and $3,400 per opening depending on glass package, shape complexity, and framing. Most custom geometry jobs, whether an arch over a front entry or a trapezoid flanking a cathedral ceiling, take 3 to 6 weeks from template to install. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we tell you the truth about what your windows need and what they don’t.
If you own a Mr-Glass window in Boca Raton and it’s fogging, leaking, binding, or just not sealing right, this page tells you what’s actually going on and what it costs to fix. Call us at (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers, any hour.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Geometric frame racking on Mr-Glass radius units. We see this most on the Mr-Glass Radius Series arched windows in Boca Raton’s newer Mediterranean-style builds. The curved frame members shift slightly during our wet season as the stucco and steel lintels expand and contract, which breaks the interior seal at the apex. We re-square the unit, reset the glass with fresh setting blocks, and re-seal the perimeter with a premium polyurethane.
- Condensation between panes in custom Mr-Glass trapezoid units. The Mr-Glass Custom Shapes line uses a flexible spacer that can wick moisture after years of direct Palm Beach County sun. Once the desiccant inside the spacer saturates, fog forms. The fix is replacing the insulated glass unit (IGU), not the whole window. We match the original glass geometry exactly and upgrade to a low-E laminate when the homeowner wants real heat rejection.
- Operable geometric windows binding at the hinges. Mr-Glass casement awnings and pentagon vents that open outward, common in Boca Raton kitchens and baths, wear their brass bushing hinges unevenly. The weight of laminated impact glass accelerates this. We replace the hinge sets with OEM-spec parts and adjust the reveal so the sash closes square. Skip this and the window eventually won’t lock.
- Weep system clogs in Mr-Glass picture units with arched tops. It sounds minor, but a clogged weep in a large fixed geometric window lets water pool in the frame track. We pull the exterior glazing bead, flush the channels, and in older units we drill supplemental weeps at the low corners. This is a Palm Beach County issue more than a Mr-Glass manufacturing flaw, but we see it weekly in Boca.
- Hardware mismatch on retrofitted Mr-Glass shapes. When a previous installer used generic hardware on a Mr-Glass custom shape, the lock strike sits wrong and the handle feels loose. We source Mr-Glass-specific or dimensionally identical aftermarket hardware and re-mortise the sash cleanly. A loose lock on an impact-rated unit means the window is not doing its storm job.
Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process
When you call about a Mr-Glass window in Boca Raton, here’s the sequence we follow, every time.
- 1
You call, we answer. A live person picks up at (561) 816-5648, day or night. We ask what the window is doing and when it started.
- 2
We inspect in person. A background-checked Winslow tech comes out with a full kit. We measure the window, check the glass, the frame, the seals, the operation. Most diagnostics take under an hour.
- 3
We decide OEM vs aftermarket together. For seals, setting blocks, and standard hardware, quality aftermarket parts are identical and save you money. For Mr-Glass-specific hinges or unusual geometry, we go OEM so the fit is exact. You get a written line-item quote before any work starts.
- 4
We do the repair or replacement. Glass, frame, hardware, or full unit. We set up drop cloths, pull permits if the job calls for it, and keep the work area clean.
- 5
We test and re-test. We cycle the window, check the reveal, hose-test exterior seals on ground-floor units, and make sure the lock engages solidly.
- 6
You get the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s not a slogan. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been at this since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up in Miami studying building construction technology at Miami Dade College before spending nearly two decades doing windows the hard way.

FAQs
Yes. We template the existing opening and order the IGU in the exact same shape, including arcs and angles. Boca Raton homes with arched Mr-Glass windows over entries get a precise match, not a squared-off substitute.
Most seals, setting blocks, hinges, and hardware sets arrive in 3 to 7 days. Custom IGUs run 2 to 4 weeks depending on glass type and shape. If the window is an urgent safety issue, we’ll board and brace it while parts come in.
If the frame is square and the glass is the only problem, repair the IGU and expect another 10 to 15 years. If the frame has racked or the geometry is pinching the glass, replacement usually costs less over time. We’ll show you both numbers.
No, not for the repairs we perform. As independent Mr-Glass service providers, we use hardware and glass matching original dimensions. The original manufacturer warranty on the frame and glass runs separately. We walk you through what’s still covered.
When the job requires a permit under Boca Raton building code, we pull it and get the inspection. For like-for-like IGU replacement, no permit is needed. You’ll know before we start.
