AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Hollywood: What to Know First
Independent Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation in Hollywood typically runs $450 to $1,800 depending on the opening size, frame condition, and whether you’re replacing glass only or the entire unit. Most Mr-Glass roof jobs we handle are completed in a single visit, with the workmanship guaranteed for 90 days under our Done Right Promise. We’re not a Mr-Glass dealer and we don’t claim to be, but we’ve been setting and servicing Mr-Glass skylights, roof windows, and fixed roof glazing in South Broward for years.
This page is for Hollywood homeowners who own a Mr-Glass roof product and want straight answers: what fails, what it costs, and whether to repair or replace. If you’d rather just talk it through, call (863) 334-2933 and a live person answers, day or night.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Seal failure on Mr-Glass fixed roof glazing. This is the most common thing we see in Hollywood, and it’s predictable when it happens. The Florida sun bakes the roof surface, the insulated glass unit flexes, and the perimeter seal eventually gives out. You’ll notice condensation or a milky haze between the panes that never clears. The real cause is often the original installation method - if the glass wasn’t set on proper setting blocks, the weight shifts and the seal fails years earlier than it should. We pull the unit, inspect the opening, replace the setting blocks, and set a new sealed unit square.
- Leaking aluminum curb-mounted skylights after storms. Homes along the barrier island in Hollywood take more wind-driven rain than inland neighborhoods, and older Mr-Glass curb mounts that were flashed correctly in 1995 may not be flashed correctly for 2026. The leak isn’t always the glass - it’s the curb flashing or the gasket between the frame and the curb. We’ll diagnose it before recommending anything, because replacing the glass won’t fix a flashing failure.
- Hazing and spider cracking on Mr-Glass acrylic dome skylights. Older Mr-Glass domes, particularly the ones installed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, are now showing their age in Hollywood’s UV exposure. The acrylic surface clouds and eventually develops hairline cracks that spread. That’s not a repair - that’s a replace. We can quote you an equivalent glass unit or a comparable dome from another manufacturer we’re authorized to install.
- Condensation in Mr-Glass roof windows that were sealed with the wrong glazing material. We’ve pulled apart Mr-Glass roof windows in Hollywood where the installer used a general-purpose glazing compound instead of the manufacturer-specified sealant. It holds for a few seasons, then moisture creeps in. This is exactly what Dale Kessler means when he says, “Measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.” The wrong sealant voids the warranty and ruins the unit. We use the right material for the application, every time.
- Damaged or corroded frame hardware on older Mr-Glass operable roof windows. Crank mechanisms, hinges, and locking hardware on Mr-Glass venting roof windows take a beating in coastal air. Salt and humidity in Hollywood corrodes the pivot points until the window won’t open or won’t stay open. If the frame is sound, we replace the hardware. If the frame is gone, we’ll tell you that honestly and quote a replacement rather than patch a unit that will fail again in two seasons.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. No voicemail, no callback form. We’ll ask what you’re seeing and schedule a time that works for you. Call (863) 334-2933.
- 2
We come out and measure the opening ourselves. Not the unit - the rough opening. That’s the only way to know what will actually fit and what flashing, curb, or frame condition we’re working with.
- 3
We diagnose before we recommend. If the glass is failed but the frame and flashing are sound, we’ll say so. If the whole assembly is beyond saving, we’ll say that too. No upsell, no fear-selling. You get our honest read.
- 4
We quote OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side on paper. Mr-Glass parts availability changes, and not every original component is worth the wait or the premium. You’ll see exactly what you’re buying and what each option costs.
- 5
We set the new unit square, seal it correctly, and test it. Water test, alignment check, and a walkthrough of what we did and why.
- 6
We register the warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. That’s our Keystone Standard. You get the manufacturer warranty details and our Done Right Promise - no fine print, no paperwork fight.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been serving Hollywood and South Broward since 2008, and we plan to be here in thirty more. That matters when you’re putting money into a roof opening that has to hold against hurricane season. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a dealer, which means we’re not pushing you toward a replacement because it’s in our contract - we’re recommending what’s actually right for your roof.
Every technician who comes to your home is background-checked and uniformed. We work the way we’d work in our own mother’s house. And because we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows alongside more than a dozen other lines, we can give you honest side-by-side options when a Mr-Glass replacement is the right call. Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, so this isn’t a market we parachute into. It’s home.
FAQs
Yes, though availability varies by model and age. For older Mr-Glass lines, particularly the pre-2005 domes and roof windows, OEM parts may be discontinued or on long lead times from the manufacturer. In those cases we’ll show you a quality aftermarket equivalent from a line we’re authorized to install - PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows - so you’re not waiting months for a part that may never arrive. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll check availability for your specific unit.
If the unit is still under manufacturer warranty, the warranty claim process depends on how the original unit was installed and what failed. We’ll help you document the failure properly. For any work we perform, we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway - that’s our Keystone Standard. If the original install wasn’t done to manufacturer spec, that’s often why the unit failed early, and we’ll tell you straight. For an exact assessment of your situation, call (863) 334-2933.
It depends on where the leak is coming from. If the glass seal has failed or the dome is hazed and cracking, replacement is the right call. If the leak is at the flashing or gasket and the glass is still sound, a repair is often all you need. We’ll diagnose the source before we recommend anything - we don’t sell you a new unit because it’s easier for us. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what’s actually needed.
Most Mr-Glass roof replacements are completed in a single visit, once we have the correct unit and parts on hand. We measure first, order what’s needed, and schedule the installation when everything is in. For non-standard sizes, lead time depends on whether we’re sourcing OEM or a comparable aftermarket line. We’ll give you that timeline in writing when we quote the job. Call (863) 334-2933 to get started.
When the scope of work requires it under Hollywood building codes, yes - we pull the permit and the work gets inspected. For glass-only replacements in an existing frame, a permit typically isn’t required, but if we’re changing the roof opening or structural curb, it will be. We’ll tell you up front what your specific job needs, so there are no surprises with the city. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll walk you through it.
