Mr-Glass Roof Repair in Boca Raton: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof repair in Boca Raton typically runs $285 to $1,200 depending on the line, the leak source, and whether we’re replacing a panel, resealing a seam, or rebuilding a curb. Most jobs are done in a single visit, and we stock the common Mr-Glass gaskets, sealants, and fasteners so you’re not waiting on a freight truck from out of state. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a factory warranty crew, which means we tell you the truth about what’s actually wrong and fix it without the runaround. If you own a Mr-Glass roof in Boca Raton and you’re seeing water where it shouldn’t be, call (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers, day or night.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass makes a lot of structural glass, and the Boca Raton climate finds every weak point in a roof system. Here’s what we actually see on service calls across Boca Raton, from Woodfield Country Club to the beachside condos off A1A:
- Mr-Glass ridge cap seal failures. The silicone at ridge caps and hip caps breaks down fast in Boca Raton’s salt air and afternoon UV. You’ll see a hairline crack that looks cosmetic, but water wicks through it every time it rains. We strip the old bead, solvent-clean both surfaces, and lay a marine-grade sealant that holds up to the coastal exposure.
- Gasket compression set on Mr-Glass series glazing. The rubber gaskets that hold Mr-Glass panels in place lose their rebound after years of heat cycling. A gasket that’s gone flat lets water pool against the frame and eventually find its way inside. We replace with OEM-spec durometer gaskets, not the soft generic stuff that squishes out on the first hot day.
- Improper previous flashing around curb-mounted Mr-Glass units. This is the one we see most in older Boca Raton homes along Federal Highway. Somebody installed a Mr-Glass roof section and flashed it like a standard skylight. Mr-Glass curbs are different. Water runs behind the flashing, sits against the aluminum, and rots the curb from the outside in. We rebuild the curb, re-flash it properly, and the leak is gone for good.
- Weep-hole clogging in Mr-Glass frame profiles. Mr-Glass frames rely on weep holes to drain condensation and minor water intrusion. In Boca Raton, pollen, salt, and the occasional pine needle from a Royal Palm neighbor clog those holes. Water backs up, overflows the interior track, and drips onto the ceiling. Clearing the weeps and re-sloping the track usually fixes it in under an hour.
- Thermal stress cracking in Mr-Glass panels near the coast. We’ve seen Mr-Glass panels crack from thermal shock when a cold front rolls through and hits glass that’s been baking all day. It’s not a manufacturing defect; it’s physics. We source replacement panels sized to the exact Mr-Glass dimensions, and we spec edge clearance so the next temperature swing doesn’t crack it again.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process
Here’s how a Mr-Glass roof repair works when you call Winslow Windows & Doors in Boca Raton:
- 1
You call (561) 816-5648. A live person answers, right then. You describe what you’re seeing, and we tell you whether it sounds urgent or can wait a day or two.
- 2
We schedule the visit. No trip charge inside our home county, and we show up when we say we will. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and you’ll know exactly who’s coming to your door.
- 3
Diagnostic walkthrough. We inspect the Mr-Glass roof section, trace the water path, and take photos. We show you what we found before we touch a single fastener.
- 4
Parts decision. If it’s a gasket, seal, or flashing issue, we use OEM-spec materials matched to your Mr-Glass line. If a panel needs replacing, we give you the honest trade-off between factory-original and a quality aftermarket equivalent, and you decide with real numbers in front of you.
- 5
Repair and water test. We make the fix, then run a controlled water test to confirm the leak is actually dead. Not just “looks good from the ground” - water applied exactly where it was getting in.
- 6
Cleanup and guarantee. We leave the area cleaner than we found it, and the work is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been working across Boca Raton since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on every job we do. Ed grew up in Miami, studied building construction at Miami Dade College, and spent nearly two decades doing windows, doors, and roofing the hard way - one job at a time.

You’re getting a technician who knows Mr-Glass frames, knows Boca Raton’s heat and salt air, and knows when a repair is going to last versus when replacement is the honest answer. And because we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows too, if we ever find a problem that goes beyond the Mr-Glass section, we can fix the whole roof system without handing you off to another company. We’re the one down the road, and we answer the phone.
FAQs
No. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we perform repairs that don’t trigger warranty cancellation, and we’ll tell you plainly if a specific fix is something you should route through the manufacturer instead. Our honest read costs you nothing - call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through it.
Gaskets, sealants, and fasteners for common Mr-Glass lines are usually on our truck or in our Boca Raton stock the same week. Custom glass panels take 7 to 14 days from fabrication, because they’re cut to your exact dimensions - not a generic skylight blank. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll give you a real timeline, not a guess.
Most seal, gasket, flashing, and weep-hole repairs are completed the same visit. Panel replacements are scheduled once glass arrives. If your roof is actively leaking into the house, tell us when you call - we prioritize active water intrusion calls.
If the leak is from failed sealant, a compressed gasket, or poor flashing, repair is usually the right call and costs a fraction of replacement. If the frame is corroded through, the curb is rotting, or multiple panels are cracked, replacement gets honest consideration. We’ll show you the evidence either way and quote both options. Estimates are free at (561) 816-5648.
