Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

We provide independent Mr-Glass custom and geometric window repair and replacement in Fort Lauderdale, typically completing most jobs in a single visit once parts are in hand. Pricing for shaped and arched units runs higher than standard rectangles because every radius and angle is measured, templated, and ordered to the original profile rather than cut to a close guess. If you own a Mr-Glass arch, circle-top, trapezoid, or oversized custom unit in Fort Lauderdale, and it fogs, binds, leaks, or won’t seal, call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll give you a straight answer on whether it’s a fix or a replace.

This page is written for the homeowner who bought a house with Mr-Glass windows already in it, or had them installed years ago, and now needs someone who actually knows the product. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a Mr-Glass dealer. That matters, because nobody pays us to say the windows are fine when they aren’t.

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

• Perimeter seal failure on geometric units. Shaped windows put stress on the seal at every angle change, and Mr-Glass geometric units are no exception. The symptom is condensation or haze between panes that never clears, which means the desiccant in the spacer has absorbed all the moisture it can hold. The real culprit is usually thermal cycling combined with the seal taking pressure at a corner where the profile changes direction. We replace the insulated glass unit to the exact template of the opening, not with an off-the-shelf lite that nearly fits.
• Frame racking in oversized openings. Large trapezoids and pentagons placed above fixed picture windows move with the house. South Florida soil expands and contracts with seasonal wet and dry spells, and a big geometric unit is often the first thing to feel it. Homeowners notice daylight at a corner or a crack opening along the interior casing. The fix starts before the window comes out: we check the rough opening and existing framing to see if the problem is the unit or the structure. If it’s the unit, we square and re-seat it. If it’s the structure, we tell you so before we sell anything.
• Hardware wear on curved and arched casement operators. Mr-Glass curved casements look sharp, but the operator mechanism on a curved sash works harder than on a standard rectangle. In Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, the crank gears and locking points corrode faster than inland installs see. We replace with corrosion-resistant hardware matched to the original mounting pattern, and if you’re close to the Intracoastal or the beach, we’ll tell you which finish lasts and which one doesn’t.
• Solar gain through uncoated glass on west-facing custom units. We see Fort Lauderdale homes where the original Mr-Glass units were specified without low-E because they were “decorative.” Ten years later, the west wall is an oven and the furniture has faded. The fix isn’t always replacement. In many cases the opening can accept a new low-E insulated unit in the same profile, preserving the shape while cutting the heat load. We quote it both ways so you can see the difference in writing.
• Fogged interior glazing in Mr-Glass transoms and radius units. Small shaped windows over doors and in stairwells are often double-glazed with thinner spacer bars than the main windows. The seal fails earlier, and because the unit is small, homeowners sometimes ignore it. We tell them not to: a fogged transom over a front entry is the first thing a buyer sees, if selling is ever in the cards. We template and replace it for a reasonable price, usually in one visit once the unit comes back from the fabricator.

Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process

1. 1
   You call (754) 310-3589 and talk to a person. Not a voicemail tree. We ask about the window, the symptom, and when it started. If it’s a leak or a binding sash, we prioritize it.
2. 2
   We come out and measure everything twice. Geometric and custom units don’t forgive a sloppy measurement. We take physical templates of the opening, not just width and height at the center, because a “square” opening in a 25-year-old Fort Lauderdale house rarely is.
3. 3
   We diagnose before we quote. That means checking the unit, the surrounding framing, and the installation. If the window itself isn’t the problem, we say so. If it is, you’ll know exactly what failed and why.
4. 4
   We give you a line-item quote in writing. OEM versus quality aftermarket parts, side by side, so you see the trade-off in plain numbers. We register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, in writing.
5. 5
   We install, test the operation and the seal, and clean up. No second appointment left hanging. Most Mr-Glass custom & geometric jobs wrap up in one visit.
6. 6
   Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print.

What Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Honest numbers, based on the jobs we see in Fort Lauderdale every month:

• Small fogged transom or half-round, insulated unit replacement: $380 to $720 installed.
• Mid-size arched or oval window, new insulated glass unit: $620 to $1,150 installed.
• Large geometric unit (trapezoid, oversized arch, angled side-lite), insulated glass replacement: $1,100 to $2,400 installed, more if the frame is compromised.
• Full custom replacement of a Mr-Glass geometric unit with new impact-rated unit in matching profile: $1,800 to $4,500, depending on size, shape, and glass package.

What moves the price: the complexity of the radius or angle, whether the frame is salvageable, whether the unit must be impact-rated (required for most exterior openings in the South Florida HVHZ), glass package choice, and whether we’re dealing with a second-story or otherwise tricky reach. No surprise line items. The quote you approve is the price you pay. Call (754) 310-3589 for a specific number on your unit, because we don’t guess.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work

Because we’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference between a window and a warranty, and we’ve seen what happens when someone takes a shortcut on a shaped unit. This is second-generation glass work, founded by Dale Kessler out of the simple observation that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing. We measure twice, spec it right, and put it in writing, because the frame does not forgive shortcuts. We’re also not a one-line shop. When a Mr-Glass unit isn’t worth saving, we spec side by side alternatives from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and the other manufacturer lines we carry, so you’re never told “well, this is what we’ve got.” And when we’re done, a real person still answers the phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s the part that matters most to the homeowner who has been burned before.
