AfterMr-Glass Window Installation in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors installs, replaces, and services Mr-Glass windows for homeowners throughout Pompano Beach. Most Mr-Glass installations run $450 to $1,900 per opening depending on the series, glass package, and whether we’re dealing with a straight pull-and-set or a full frame replacement. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we quote the work honestly and stand behind the install for 90 days with no fine print.
This page is written for the homeowner who already owns Mr-Glass windows and needs them installed or replaced correctly. If you’re staring at a window that leaks air, binds in the frame, or fogs between the panes, call (863) 591-8673 and a real person answers, day or night.
Key Takeaways
- We install and replace every major Mr-Glass window configuration common in Pompano Beach homes.
- Both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
- Free estimates with line-item pricing. No change orders, no surprise line items.
- We quote Mr-Glass side by side against PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows so you see exactly what you’re buying.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass makes a solid aluminum window, but Pompano Beach is the proving ground that finds every weak joint. Here’s what we see on service calls across Lighthouse Point, Cypress Bend, and the Highlands, and what we do about it.
- Horizontal roller windows with seized or worn rollers. The Mr-Glass 3-panel slider and single-panel horizontal roller lines use a nylon wheel on a steel pin. After ten to fifteen years of salt air and daily use, that wheel wears flat or the pin corrodes. The panel then drags across the track and the homeowner assumes the whole window is shot. It’s not. We pull the panel, swap the roller assembly, clean the track, and reset it. Usually an hour of work and the panel glides again.
- Single and double hung windows with failed counterbalance springs. Mr-Glass hung windows use a block-and-tackle balance system. When the spring inside the balance fails, the sash drops or refuses to stay up. This is the most common call we get in Pompano Beach during summer months, when the vinyl components inside the balance get brittle from heat cycling. We replace both balances on the sash at the same time, even if only one failed, because the other is never far behind.
- Casement windows with stripped operator hardware. The Mr-Glass casement line uses a crank-to-open operator with a cast metal gear drive. Forcing the crank past its stop, or cranking a window that’s been painted shut, strips those gears. The window then won’t seal, and you’ve got a permanent air leak at the hinge side. We replace the operator, check the hinge points for wear, and set the sash so it closes square against the weatherstripping.
- Awning and hopper windows with blown glazing tape. Mr-Glass awning and hopper windows rely on a double-sided glazing tape between the glass and the frame. In Pompano Beach, that tape breaks down faster than the glass does. When it goes, the window sweats, drafts, and eventually the seal fails. We reglaze the unit with fresh tape, reset the panel, and the window is tight again.
- Picture and fixed windows with cracking vinyl trim stops. The fixed picture line from Mr-Glass uses vinyl snap-in trim stops to hold the glass. Sun exposure through a west-facing Pompano Beach wall will dry those stops until they crack at the corners. The glass is still fine, but the window looks weatherbeaten and lets air through. We pull the old stops, inspect the frame for corrosion, and install new stops cut to the exact opening.
Our Mr-Glass Window Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass job follows the same sequence, whether it’s a single window replacement or a full house of sliders. No shortcuts, no skipped steps.
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach us at (863) 591-8673, describe the window, and we schedule a time. A live person answers around the clock.
- 2
On-site inspection. We arrive in uniform, measure every opening twice, and diagnose the specific failure. We bring Mr-Glass series catalogs so we’re looking at the same window you’re looking at.
- 3
Written quote with options. We quote OEM Mr-Glass parts where they still make sense, and quality aftermarket parts where they’ll last longer for less money. You see both numbers on paper, side by side.
- 4
The repair or replacement. We set the window, level it, shim where needed, and fasten it per Florida code. Glass gets sealed with a continuous bead, no gaps.
- 5
Test and inspect. We cycle every moving part, check for air infiltration, and spray the weather seals with a light soap solution to catch leaks. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 6
Warranty registration and cleanup. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave. We haul off the old window and leave the opening cleaner than we found it.
What Mr-Glass Window Installation Costs in Pompano Beach
Flat pricing doesn’t exist on Mr-Glass work, because no two openings in Pompano Beach wear the same. But here are the ranges we quote most often:
| Window Type | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Single hung or double hung, sash replacement | $450 - $750 per opening |
| Horizontal roller, panel replacement | $380 - $650 per opening |
| 3-panel sliding window, full replacement | $900 - $1,900 per unit |
| Casement window, operator and sash reset | $350 - $600 per window |
| Awning or hopper, reglaze and reset | $300 - $550 per window |
| Picture window, full frame replacement | $800 - $1,800 per unit |
What moves the price: whether the existing frame is salvageable, the glass package you choose, and whether the window needs new hardware or just a reseal. A window on a second story with tight access will run more than a ground-floor slider. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you an exact written quote, free.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve been setting windows across Broward County since 2008 of combined craft tradition, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties on other people’s work. We hire local, train our own people, and run background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. When a Mr-Glass window fails, we know whether to pull the panel, reset the balance, or quote a full replacement. And if you decide to move away from Mr-Glass entirely, we also quote PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, side by side on the same sheet of paper. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty. We stand behind it.
FAQs
No. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we install and replace using parts and methods that keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact. We register both warranty layers in writing before leaving the job, and our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship regardless of what the manufacturer does or doesn’t cover. Call (863) 591-8673 if you want to know what your specific warranty covers before we begin.
In most cases, yes. Mr-Glass frames come in a limited number of standard colors and glass tints, and we can usually match an existing window closely enough that the replacement doesn’t stand out. If we can’t get an exact match from the manufacturer, we’ll tell you before we order anything, and show you the closest options on paper. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll do a free on-site match assessment.
Most single-window repairs or replacements take half a day from arrival to cleanup. Full-frame replacements on larger sliders can run a full day. We complete the vast majority of jobs in a single visit. We’ll give you a window-by-window schedule in writing before work starts.
Repair makes sense when the frame is sound, the glass is intact, and the failure is in the hardware, the balance system, or the glazing. Replace makes sense when the frame has corrosion at the corners, the glass has a broken seal with permanent fog, or the window is over twenty years old and you’re repairing one component while the next one waits to fail. We’ll show you both numbers and let you decide.
Yes, when the job requires it. Pompano Beach code treats window replacement as structural work in most cases, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes. Building trust in this town means following the rules.
