Call (904) 478-8983

This page is for Coral Gables homeowners who have Mr-Glass skylights, roof glazing, or roof-integrated glass systems showing signs of trouble: leaks, condensation between panes, cracked glass, or frame separation. If you’ve noticed water staining on your ceiling near a skylight or heard wind whistling around roof glass during a storm, call (904) 478-8983 and Ed Winslow will make sure a real person answers.

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

• Mr-Glass roof skylights: sealant channel fatigue. The most common failure we see on Mr-Glass roof skylights in Coral Gables is the perimeter sealant channel drying out and cracking, typically after seven to ten years of South Florida sun exposure. The glass itself is rarely the problem. What looks like a “glass leak” is usually the sealant barrier between the frame and the roof deck giving way. We remove the old sealant, prep the channel properly, and re-seal with a UV-stable, high-movement sealant rated for the expansion cycles of a Coral Gables roof in August.
• Mr-Glass Series 600 curb-mount units: flashing breakdown at the curb corners. On curb-mount Mr-Glass installations, the failure point is nearly always at the four corners where the flashing overlaps. Wind-driven rain in Coral Gables finds these seams during summer squalls. We see this on Series 600 units regularly. The fix is not adding more caulk over the old flashing. It’s pulling the corner flashing, inspecting the curb, replacing any rotted wood, and refitting the flashing with proper overlap and sealant.
• Mr-Glass venting skylights: actuator and gasket degradation. Motorized Mr-Glass venting units have a known weak point: the actuator linkage and gasket that seals the vent when closed. After enough South Florida humidity cycles, the gasket compresses and the vent doesn’t seat flush. You’ll get a slow drip that appears only after hours of steady rain. We replace the gasket with an OEM-equivalent and adjust the actuator travel so the vent closes tight.
• Mr-Glass fixed glass roof panels: thermal stress cracks from shade-line shifts. Fixed glass roof panels can develop thermal stress cracks when one part of the panel bakes in direct sun while another stays shaded, a real issue on Coral Gables homes with mature tree canopies. The crack propagates from the edge inward, and it’s often mistaken for impact damage. We’ll identify the cause, verify the panel dimensions and glass make-up, and replace it with glass that matches the original specification so the roof system stays balanced.
• Mr-Glass railing and roof-deck glass: hardware loosening in salt air. On Coral Gables homes with Mr-Glass glass railings or wind screens around roof decks, the stainless hardware works loose over time as salt air and temperature cycling take their toll. Fittings that were tight at install develop play, and the glass starts to rattle in wind. We re-torque or replace hardware and inspect every connection point so the panels are secure before the next named storm comes through.

Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (904) 478-8983, someone answers, and we schedule a time to look at your Mr-Glass roof system. No voicemail loops.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic. We inspect the visible damage, test for leaks, and measure everything that needs measuring. On a Mr-Glass roof unit, that means checking the sealant channels, the flashing, the glazing gaskets, and the hardware.
3. 3
   Written quote with parts decision. We lay out whether OEM Mr-Glass components or a high-grade aftermarket equivalent makes sense for your repair. You get the honesty either way: if an aftermarket part performs identically and saves you money, we’ll say so. If OEM is the only right call, we’ll say that too.
4. 4
   The repair. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work. Old material comes out, new material goes in, and everything is fitted the way Ed Winslow expects: clean, tight, and built to hold.
5. 5
   Water test and inspection. We test the repair with water before we leave. If it doesn’t pass, we keep working until it does.
6. 6
   Done Right Promise. If anything’s off, we come back and make it right. That’s not a sales line. That’s Ed’s name on the truck.
