This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who bought a Mr-Glass roof and want honest answers about replacement cost, timing, and whether anyone still stands behind the work. We’ll give you the same breakdown we give our neighbors.

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

• Mr-Glass Barrel Tile surface spalling near salt air. We see this constantly on canal-front homes in Boca Raton and along the barrier island. The glazed surface on Mr-Glass barrel tiles can micro-pit after 10 to 15 years of salt-laden wind, especially on east-facing roof slopes. Once the glaze is compromised, the tile body absorbs moisture and starts shedding fine granules. The fix is selective tile replacement with color-matched material, not a full re-roof, if the underlayment is still sound. We test the underlayment before we ever recommend pulling tile.
• Underlayment failure at Mr-Glass flat tile transitions. Mr-Glass flat-profile tiles installed on low-pitch sections, common on mid-century ranch homes west of I-95, put a lot of faith in the underlayment. Boca Raton’s afternoon downpours can pond water on those shallow slopes long enough to find any seam weakness. When we lift a tile and find the felt has turned to powder, the roof needs a full replacement, not a patch. We install 30-pound synthetic underlayment that holds up to Florida’s UV and humidity cycle.
• Valley flashing corrosion at Mr-Glass tile intersections. The valley metal where two Mr-Glass roof planes meet is the most common leak point we trace, and it’s rarely the tile itself. Over 15 to 18 years, Boca Raton’s combination of salt air and heavy rain can eat through standard galvanized valley metal. We replace it with 26-gauge aluminum or copper depending on the home’s exposure, then reset the Mr-Glass tile over a closed-cell foam adhesive. That detail stops the leak and keeps the tile warranty intact.
• Birds and rodents nesting under Mr-Glass ridge caps. On homes in older Boca Raton neighborhoods with mature ficus and banyan trees, we regularly pull ridge caps and find nesting material packed under the tile. The debris dams water and forces it sideways into the tile course. We install stainless bird-stop at the eaves and ridge, then reset the Mr-Glass caps with a polymer-modified adhesive so they don’t lift in a hurricane.
• Mr-Glass tile breakage from foot traffic during AC service calls. This one frustrates homeowners because the AC company never mentions it. Technicians walking a Mr-Glass tile roof to reach a condenser can crack tiles without anyone noticing until the next rainy season. We walk tile roofs using foam pads and weight distribution boards, and we document any pre-existing tile damage before we start so you know exactly what we found versus what we fixed.

Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process

Every Mr-Glass roof job in Boca Raton follows the same sequence, and we don’t trim steps to save time.

1. 1
   Site inspection and water tracing. We start with a full attic inspection first, because water stains on the ceiling don’t always match the leak location on the roof. Then we walk the roof with pads and photograph every slope, valley, and penetration.
2. 2
   Parts decision: OEM vs quality aftermarket. If Mr-Glass OEM tile is available, we quote it. If lead times are long or the line is discontinued, we source aftermarket tile that matches in profile and color within the manufacturer’s tolerance, and we tell you which one we’re quoting and why.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote. You get a fixed price for tear-off, underlayment, tile, flashing, and cleanup. No change orders unless we uncover rot that changes the decking scope, and we show you photos of that before we proceed.
4. 4
   Permit pull and tear-off. We pull the permit, protect your landscaping with tarps, and strip the old roof down to the deck. We replace any damaged wood at this stage and document it.
5. 5
   Underlayment, flashing, and Mr-Glass tile install. We install the underlayment to code, set new valley and wall flashing, and lay the Mr-Glass tile with proper fastening patterns for Boca Raton’s wind zone.
6. 6
   Water test, cleanup, and walk-through. We test the valleys and penetrations, run a magnet sweep for nails, and walk the roof with you before we call it done.

What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s what we’re actually quoting on Mr-Glass roofs around Boca Raton right now:

• Partial tile and underlayment repair: $1,200 to $4,500, depending on the number of tiles and linear feet of valley or flashing metal.
• Full Mr-Glass tile replacement on a 2,000 sq ft home: $12,000 to $18,000 installed, including tear-off, synthetic underlayment, and new flashing.
