AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Plantation: What to Know First
We handle Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation for homeowners throughout Plantation, typically completing most skylight and roof-glazing jobs in one to two visits. Pricing for Mr-Glass roof work in Plantation generally runs between $850 and $4,200 depending on the unit, the glazing package, and whether the curb or flashing needs rebuilding. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we are not authorized by the manufacturer, but we install to their spec and register every warranty layer in writing before we leave the driveway.
If you own a Mr-Glass skylight, roof window, or structural glass panel and it is leaking, fogged, or failing at the seal, this page is for you. Call (772) 577-2915 and a live person answers. We will talk through what you are seeing and schedule a measured look at the unit.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Seal failure on the Mr-Glass Solar Series skylights. The Solar Series units we pull out of Plantation homes often show condensation between panes by year eight or nine. That means the desiccant inside the insulated glazing unit has given out, usually because the edge seal was stressed by South Florida heat cycling. The fix is a full IGU replacement, not a reseal. Resealing a spent unit buys you six months and a second callback. We replace the glass pack and the gasket, then run a water test before we button it up.
- Curb rot under Mr-Glass curb-mounted skylights. In Plantation, we see the wood curb under older curb-mount Mr-Glass units rot out from the inside while the outside still looks like it was painted last week. Condensation runs down the inside of the curb, soaks the framing, and by the time you see the stain on the ceiling it has been working for a while. We rebuild the curb in pressure-treated lumber or composite, set the new flashing, and match the roof surface so the next rain finds its way to the gutter instead of your living room.
- Flashing failures on the Mr-Glass Flat Glass roof panels. The Flat Glass line relies on a metal flashing kit that, in our experience, does not forgive a roof that expands and contracts the way a Florida roof does in August. The aluminum work-hardens at the corners and cracks. Once water gets under the flashing, it tracks along the rafter and shows up nowhere near the skylight. We remove the old flashing, inspect the deck for rot, and install a new counter-flashing and step-flashing assembly with proper solder at the corners, not just sealant.
- Hinge and operator wear on Mr-Glass venting roof windows. The venting models, especially the ones opened daily in Plantation’s ten-month warm season, wear the pivot hardware until the sash sits a quarter-inch low on one side. That leaves a gap the weatherstrip cannot close. Some companies will tell you to live with it or replace the whole unit. We re-set the sash, shim the hinge plates, and replace the operator arm if the gear teeth are stripped. Most of the time the glass is fine.
- Fogged Mr-Glass tubular skylights in older Plantation ranch homes. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s around Plantation Acres and Jacaranda frequently have the original tubular skylights, and those units were not built for forty years of UV. The acrylic dome yellows and micro-crazes, and the reflective tube coating delaminates. Owners call because the bathroom got dim. The dome is replaceable, the tube liner is replaceable, and the cost is a fraction of a new unit. We stock common dome sizes and order the rest from our Mr-Glass parts channels.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and describe the problem. A live person answers, every time. We ask what you are seeing, where the water shows up, how long it has been happening, and whether the unit is original or a replacement. That tells us what to bring.
- 2
On-site measurement and inspection. We measure the opening twice and inspect the curb, flashing, deck, and interior ceiling around the unit. We check the roof pitch and the direction the roof runs, because a south-facing Mr-Glass skylight in Plantation takes a different beating than one on the north slope.
- 3
Parts decision on paper. If the unit needs new glazing, we quote OEM Mr-Glass glass packs and our aftermarket equivalent side by side, with the warranty terms stated for both. You decide with the facts in front of you. No one is getting a surprise line item.
- 4
The replacement or install. We remove the old unit, rebuild or re-flash as needed, set the new glazing with fresh gaskets and proper shimming, and torque everything to spec. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
Water test and warranty registration. We run water over the finished unit and check the interior with a moisture meter. Then we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the copy. The Done Right Promise applies from the moment we finish.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Plantation
Here is what we typically see on Mr-Glass roof work in Plantation:
- Dome replacement on a tubular skylight: $85 to $240 installed, depending on diameter and whether the flashing ring needs replacement.
- Fogged IGU replacement on a Solar Series skylight: $450 to $950 installed, including new gaskets and sealant.
- Curb rebuild with new flashing: $600 to $1,400 depending on curb size and roof surface. Tile roofs cost more than shingle.
- Full skylight replacement with new unit: $1,800 to $4,200 installed, glazing package and curb condition drive the spread.
- Roof window hardware re-set and operator replacement: $180 to $380, assuming the glass and frame are sound.
What moves the price: roof type, curb condition, unit size, and whether you choose OEM or aftermarket glazing. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, and that quote is the price. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate on your Mr-Glass unit.

We will be there when we say, and we will stand behind the work.
FAQs
We can perform the work, but we cannot file a warranty claim on your behalf. Mr-Glass warranties are administered by the manufacturer, and as an independent service provider we are not part of their authorized network. What we do is document the failure thoroughly, provide you with photos, measurements, and a written diagnosis, and then install the replacement correctly so a future warranty claim is not voided by a sloppy install. Call (772) 577-2915 and we will walk you through what your warranty likely covers before anyone schedules anything.
We quote both, side by side on paper, with the warranty terms for each stated in writing. For glass packs and gaskets, OEM Mr-Glass parts are the safer choice if the unit is still under a manufacturer warranty period. For older units where the warranty is long gone, a quality aftermarket IGU from a Florida-based fabricator often costs less and performs just as well in Plantation’s climate. You make the call with the facts in front of you.
If the frame and curb are sound and the only problem is fogged glass or worn hardware, repair is usually the smarter money. If the curb is rotted, the flashing has failed in multiple places, or the frame itself is warped, replacement is almost always cheaper over five years because you are not patching a structure that has already given up. We will tell you which path we would take on our own house and quote it both ways if you want to see the numbers.
Most skylight dome replacements and fogged IGU swaps are done in a single visit, usually two to four hours. Curb rebuilds add a second visit if the deck needs to dry or if we are coordinating with a roofer on the surrounding surface. Full unit replacements with new flashing are typically one day. We will give you a schedule before we start and we will keep to it.
No. The quote we give you is the price you pay unless we find something structural that was not visible during the inspection, and if we do, we stop and talk to you before any additional work happens. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, but the bill never moves without your signature. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate.
