AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Wellington: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation in Wellington typically runs from $900 for a single panel repair up to $8,500 for a full roof replacement, with most jobs completed within 5 to 10 business days. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent Mr-Glass service provider, which means we diagnose what’s actually failing before we quote a number, and the price we put on paper is the price you pay. No change orders. If you own a Mr-Glass sunroom, conservatory, or roof-glazing system in Wellington and it’s leaking, fogging, or sagging, call (561) 349-4826 for a straight assessment from a team that’s been setting and sealing glass in Palm Beach County since 2008.
This page is for homeowners who already own a Mr-Glass product and need roof work done right, not a sales brochure for a brand we don’t manufacture. We work on Mr-Glass and also carry authorized lines like PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so if replacement makes more sense than repair, we’ll show you the comparison side by side.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We see the same five failure modes on Mr-Glass roof systems across Wellington, from Paddock Park out to the Equestrian Club. Here’s what we find, why it happens, and how we correct it.
- Glazing-channel seal failure on Mr-Glass Elite Series roof panels. The silicone channel that holds the insulated glass unit in the aluminum frame breaks down after 8 to 12 years of Florida sun and thermal cycling. Water gets in, the desiccant saturates, and you get permanent fog between the panes inside a month. We remove the panel, strip the old channel, reset the unit with marine-grade structural silicone, and re-flash the frame. The panel gets tested for air infiltration before it goes back up.
- Condensation between panes on Mr-Glass Sunroom Series skylight panels. This is almost never a house-humidity issue, which is what the original installer usually tells the homeowner. It’s a failed edge seal on the insulated unit itself. We measure the exact daylight opening because Mr-Glass units from the 2005 to 2012 production years sometimes ran 1/8 inch undersized on the width, and an off-the-shelf replacement unit won’t seat properly. We order the corrected size and register the new unit’s warranty in your name before the truck leaves your driveway.
- Weeping-hole blockages on Mr-Glass Conservatory Series ridge caps. Wellington’s oak pollen and the fine silt that blows off the canal banks clog the drainage weep holes in the ridge flashing. Water backs up, runs sideways, and stains your ceiling at the seam, never directly under the leak. We don’t just clear the holes; we open the ridge cap, inspect the internal gutter channel, and re-secure the cap with new thermal breaks so it drains the way the manufacturer intended.
- Thermal bowing on long Mr-Glass glass roof spans. Homes with southern exposure in Wellington’s newer developments, like Olympia and Buena Vida, put a lot of thermal load on 8-foot glass roof panels. When a panel bows more than 1/4 inch at the center, the seal at the aluminum mullion opens and the panel leaks in heavy rain, even with no visible crack. We replace with a thicker laminate unit rated for the exposure, which changes the panel weight, so we re-check the structural mullion spacing before we order anything.
- Corroded fasteners on Mr-Glass roof-to-wall transition bars. Older Mr-Glass installations used zinc-plated steel fasteners at the roof-to-wall flashing. In Wellington’s humidity, those corrode inside eight years, the flashing lifts, and wind-driven rain leaks into the wall cavity behind the drywall. We pull the transition bar, replace every fastener with coated stainless, and re-bed the flashing with butyl tape plus sealant. It’s slow, careful work, but it fixes the leak instead of painting over it.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass roof job we do in Wellington follows the same discipline, because the first visit is always cheaper than the third.
- 1
Call and describe what you’re seeing. A live person answers 24/7, asks the right questions, and schedules a time that works. You won’t talk to a voicemail tree.
- 2
On-site assessment and measurements. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures every affected opening twice. We check the interior for water staining, the exterior for flashing gaps, and the glass for seal failure with a moisture meter.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You get a printed breakdown with the parts decision: OEM Mr-Glass components where they matter, quality aftermarket materials where they save money without cutting corners. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall.
- 4
Repair or replacement. We remove old units cleanly, prep the frames, set new glass to tolerance, and re-seal with products rated for South Florida’s UV and rainfall. Most jobs are completed in one visit.
- 5
Water and air testing. We test every seam with a garden-hose soak and check the interior with an infrared moisture meter before we call the job done.
- 6
Warranty registration. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, in your name, before the truck leaves the driveway.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, but the standard goes back further than that. Dale grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park and spent three decades measuring, setting, and sealing glass around Palm Beach County. The rule on the shop whiteboard reads: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to a six-foot roof panel just like it does to a bathroom window.
Every Mr-Glass job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. And because we’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen lines including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, when a Mr-Glass roof system is beyond repair, we show you the replacement options on paper, side by side, and let the numbers and the warranties make the case. A live person answers the phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, usually from right here in Palm Beach County. We staff to answer, not to deflect.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases we source OEM Mr-Glass components through our glass suppliers, though lead times on certain series, particularly older Elite and Sunroom Series units, can run 3 to 4 weeks. When an OEM part is unavailable or the lead time doesn’t work for a leaking roof, we offer a quality aftermarket equivalent and put the comparison in writing so you decide with full information. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll check availability for your specific unit while you’re on the phone.
When TruePane performs the repair, we do it to the manufacturer’s installation spec, which keeps the remaining warranty intact. This matters, because some Mr-Glass warranties require that any service be performed by a qualified glazier using approved materials. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave, so there’s a paper trail if you ever need it.
That depends on the age of the system and how many panels have failed. A single panel with a failed seal is usually a repair, and we can do it for under $1,000. If three or more panels are failing, or the aluminum framing itself is corroded or bowed, replacement of the roof section usually makes more financial sense, often with a better energy rating than the original glass. We’ll show you both numbers and let you make the call without pressure.
Most single-panel replacements are completed within one to two weeks from the day you approve the quote, including glass fabrication time. Emergency situations, like a panel that’s actively leaking into your living space, are treated with urgency, and we’ll often get a temporary weatherproof seal on the roof within 48 hours so the water stops while the new glass is being cut. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll give you a straight answer on the current lead time.
Yes. When a Mr-Glass roof replacement involves structural changes or product approval requirements, which it usually does in Wellington, we pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and don’t call the job done until the final inspection passes. It’s part of a square deal: the work gets done to code, and the paperwork proves it.
