Key Takeaways

• Independent Mr-Glass shingle, tile, and metal roofing service, not a manufacturer call center.
• Upfront written pricing. No surprise line items on the bill.
• Most repairs completed in one or two visits, weather permitting.
• Fort Lauderdale’s salt air and summer storms are hard on Mr-Glass metal flashing and underlayment. We inspect for what the climate actually does to a roof.
• We also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, so homes with mixed-brand installs have one crew that understands the whole envelope.

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

Mr-Glass builds a range of roofing products, and in Fort Lauderdale we see the same failure patterns repeat across neighborhoods from Coral Ridge to Rio Vista. Here is what we find, and what we do about it.

• Mr-Glass metal roof seam separation along the eave line. Thermal expansion works roofing panels hard in South Florida, where a roof can swing forty degrees between a July afternoon and a January night. Mr-Glass standing-seam panels sometimes pull at the eave fasteners first. The symptom is a metallic ticking sound on a windy afternoon, or a visible gap at the seam where the panel meets the drip edge. We reset the panel, replace the fasteners with climate-rated stainless, and re-seal the lap. No roof cement daubed on as a temporary patch.
• Tile underlayment failure on Mr-Glass barrel tile installations. The tile itself rarely fails. What fails underneath is the underlayment, which Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and hurricane-season rains wear out well before the tile. Owners notice dark streaks on the ceiling near the rake, or a damp smell in the attic after a storm that never quite dries. We pull the affected tile, replace the underlayment section with a high-temperature self-adhered membrane, and re-bed the tile. Tile goes back in the same order it came off so the roof looks like we were never there.
• Mr-Glass asphalt shingle granule loss within the first eight years. Granules protect the asphalt from UV, and Fort Lauderdale sun is relentless. We see Mr-Glass shingle roofs losing granules on the south and west exposures first. The symptom is granules collecting in the gutters and a bald-looking sheen on the shingle faces. We assess whether the loss is cosmetic or structural. If the mat is still intact, we document it and give the owner a straight answer about remaining service life. If the shingle is failing, we quote a replacement section and use a shingle that matches the existing color and profile.
• Fastener corrosion on Mr-Glass metal roof clips. Salt air from the Atlantic works its way into fasteners that were not rated for coastal exposure. Mr-Glass metal roof clips can corrode inside the assembly where the owner cannot see anything wrong until a panel lifts in a storm. The symptom is a panel that rattles in high wind or a clip that snaps when we test it by hand. We replace the entire clip run on the affected slope, not just the one that failed. Half-fixed roofs are how small problems become re-roofs.
• Improper flashing at Mr-Glass tile-to-wall transitions. The original installer sometimes runs the tile up to a stucco wall with a single piece of step flashing, or worse, just caulk. Fort Lauderdale’s wind-driven rain finds that seam in a hurry. The symptom is water staining on the wall below the transition, or efflorescence on the stucco. We cut a clean reglet into the wall, install a proper counterflashing, and re-lay the tile. It is the detail Mr-Glass’s own installation guide calls for, and the one that gets skipped most often.

Our Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Every Mr-Glass roof job in Fort Lauderdale follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no surprises.

1. 1
   Call and describe what you are seeing. A live person answers at (754) 310-3589. We ask specific questions: when did it start, what does it sound like, have you seen water inside, which side of the house gets the sun. The answers tell us what to bring.
2. 2
   On-site inspection and honest diagnosis. We walk the roof, check the attic if access allows, and look at the surrounding flashing and penetrations. For Mr-Glass metal roofs, we test clips and seams by hand. For tile, we check the underlayment at the eaves and rakes. For shingle, we check granule condition and nail pattern.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs. quality aftermarket. We show you the options on paper. OEM Mr-Glass parts cost more and match exactly. Quality aftermarket parts often perform as well or better in Fort Lauderdale’s climate, and we tell you which is which on your specific roof. If a repair affects an active Mr-Glass warranty, we say so before you spend a dollar.
4. 4
   Written scope and price before work starts. You get a line-item quote. The price on the quote is the price on the bill. No change orders invented halfway through the job.
5. 5
   Repair and verification. We do the work, then we test it. A water test on the repaired section, a fastener pull-check on metal, a straight edge on the tile line. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and the same rule applies to a roof seam that is out of line.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We leave the property clean, walk you through what we did, and hand you the warranty registration on any new materials. The workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days with no paperwork fights and no arguing.

What Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Mr-Glass roofing costs in Fort Lauderdale depend on what failed, how much of the roof is involved, and whether it is a repair or a replacement section. Here are the ranges we quote most often.

• Single tile replacement (Mr-Glass barrel or flat tile): $145-$295 per tile, including underlayment patch and re-bedding.
• Mr-Glass shingle section repair (up to 100 sq ft): $385-$850, depending on the number of courses and the roof pitch.
• Mr-Glass metal roof seam re-seal and fastener replacement (one slope): $425-$1,100, depending on the panel count and corrosion extent.
• Full tile underlayment replacement on a typical Fort Lauderdale ranch (1,200-1,600 sq ft roof): $6,200-$11,400. The tile comes off, the old felt comes up, new membrane goes down, and the tile goes back.
• Complete Mr-Glass re-roof (shingle, single-story, standard pitch): $9,800-$18,500 in the current Fort Lauderdale market. Metal and tile run higher.

What moves the price: roof pitch, two-story access, the condition of the decking underneath, and whether the existing flashing can be reused. We quote every job in writing before work starts. Call (754) 310-3589 and we will put a real number on your roof.

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

Fort Lauderdale homeowners call us because we treat a Mr-Glass roof repair the same way we treat a window install: measure twice, spec it right, and put it in writing. Dale Kessler founded this company on a simple rule that came from his father’s glass shop in Columbus, Ohio, and it applies just as directly to a roof seam: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

We are background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up when we say we will. We quote the repair honestly, do the work clean, and stand behind it with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If you have a mixed-brand home, we also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, so we see the whole building envelope, not just the roof in isolation. We have been part of this community for years, and we plan to be here in thirty more.
