AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Boca Raton: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation in Boca Raton typically runs $850 to $2,400 depending on the panel size, frame condition, and whether you’re dealing with a single skylight or a full roof glazing section. We complete most Mr-Glass roof work in one visit, and we give you a written line-item price before any panel comes off. If you own a Mr-Glass roof system and it’s leaking, fogged, or showing stress cracks along the seal line, call (561) 264-1337. We will tell you honestly whether it needs a new panel or whether the existing glass can be salvaged.
This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who bought a Mr-Glass roof or skylight system and now need it replaced or installed correctly. We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a franchise installer. Our team has measured, pulled, and reset enough of these systems in Palm Beach County to know exactly where they fail and what it costs to make them right.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Condensation between the panes on Mr-Glass skylight units. The most common call we get is a fogged Mr-Glass roof panel that no longer sheds water properly. What’s actually happening in most cases is the desiccant strip inside the insulated glass unit has saturated, which means the seal is no longer keeping moisture out. In Boca Raton’s humidity, that happens faster than the manufacturer’s literature suggests. Our fix is a full insulated glass unit replacement, glazed back into the original curb with new setting blocks and a continuous silicone bead. We do not drill and drain, because it doesn’t hold.
- Stress cracks radiating from the corner of Mr-Glass panels. We see this on flat and low-slope roof glazing where the curb settles unevenly over the years. Once the frame racks even slightly, the glass picks up the load and cracks. Before we set a new panel, we shim the curb level and check the opening diagonals with a tape measure. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
- Failed perimeter seal on Mr-Glass ridge and hip glazing. In Boca Raton, the sealant between glass and frame gets baked by afternoon sun and stretched by seasonal movement. Once it pulls away, you get water staining on the interior gypsum. We route out the old sealant down to clean substrate, prime the joint, and run a fresh bead of UV-stable silicone. Then we water-test the seam before we pack up.
- Mr-Glass operable roof vents that bind in the track. On motorized or manual venting skylights, the operator gears strip or the track gets caked with salt and pollen. We remove the sash, clean the track, replace the operator mechanism, and reset the panel so it opens and closes without dragging. If the motor is burned out, we replace the control unit and sync the remote before we leave.
- After-market glazing jobs where the Mr-Glass curb wasn’t flashed right the first time. We regularly get called to fix roof replacements done by general contractors who set glass on a wooden curb and called it done. The water follows the lag bolts into the rafters. We pull the old unit, repair or replace the curb, install new flashing and a self-adhered membrane, and set the new panel on a proper glazing saddle.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
You call (561) 264-1337. A live person answers. We ask about the panel size, the pitch of the roof, and whether you’re seeing water, fog, or cracking. Then we book a time and show up in a marked truck.
- 2
We inspect the unit and the curb from the roof and the interior. We measure the opening twice, check the existing flashing, and look for water intrusion paths before we recommend anything.
- 3
We put the numbers on paper. You get a side-by-side quote for OEM Mr-Glass glass versus a quality aftermarket insulated unit, with labor broken out. No lump sums, no vague allowances.
- 4
We remove the old unit and prepare the opening. We protect the roofline with drop cloths, pull the old panel, and repair or level the curb as needed. If flashing is compromised, it gets replaced at this point.
- 5
We set the new glass and seal it properly. The new unit goes in with fresh setting blocks, proper shimming, and a continuous sealant bead. We flash the perimeter and re-install any trim or retainer clips.
- 6
We test and clean up. We water-test the seam, verify the panel sits square, and walk you through what we did. The warranty paperwork is registered before the truck leaves your driveway.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Boca Raton
- Single skylight panel replacement (fixed, up to 4 feet by 4 feet): $850 to $1,400 installed
- Larger Mr-Glass roof section or multi-panel skylight: $1,400 to $2,400 installed
- Venting skylight with operator replacement: $1,100 to $1,800 installed
- Full perimeter reseal (no glass replacement): $450 to $850 depending on linear feet and access
The price moves based on curb condition, roof pitch, glass type, and whether we’re pulling rotted framing or flashing. If the curb is gone, the job costs more because we are rebuilding structure, not just swapping glass. We quote it straight the first time.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
Boca Raton homeowners have been calling us for roof glazing work since Dale Kessler started this company in 2008, after years of watching low bids turn into loose frames and voided warranties. Dale grew up in Boca Teeca, spent his weekends as a kid helping his father replace jalousie windows, and did his glazing coursework at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth. He built TruePane around one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

FAQs
Yes. We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider, and We can walk you through both OEM and quality aftermarket glass on Mr-Glass roof systems. The warranty on the glass itself comes from the manufacturer we source it from, and our workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days under our Done Right Promise. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll explain which option makes sense for your roof.
In most cases, no. Your Mr-Glass product warranty on the original unit may still apply if the unit failed from a manufacturing defect, and we can help you determine whether a manufacturer claim is worth pursuing. If the unit failed from installation or weathering, which is more common in Boca Raton, the warranty isn’t the issue. The issue is getting it fixed correctly this time. Call us for an honest read on which category you’re in.
Most fixed skylight and roof glazing replacements are completed in a single visit once the replacement unit is on hand. It takes us a few days to order the correct insulated unit for your opening, then we’re on the roof for two to four hours depending on access and curb work. Call (561) 264-1337 to schedule a site inspection and get a firm timeline.
If the glass itself is intact and the only problem is a failing perimeter seal, resealing is cheaper in the short term and often the right call on newer units. But if you’re seeing condensation between the panes, the insulated glass unit has already failed, and resealing won’t fix it. We’ll tell you which condition you have before we quote anything. Free estimates by phone at (561) 264-1337.
We service Mr-Glass roof systems, skylights, and the glass in many other roof and wall assemblies. The same team that resets a Mr-Glass roof panel can also handle replacement glass, reseals, and hardware work. If it’s glass and it’s not right, we work on it.
