AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Naples: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation throughout Naples, Florida. Most Mr-Glass roof units we replace are completed within two business days once parts arrive, and we quote every job with a written, line-item price before any work starts. We are not affiliated with Mr-Glass, but we have worked on their roof systems long enough to know exactly where they fail in coastal air.
This page is for homeowners in Naples who own a Mr-Glass roof unit, skylight, or roof-glazed panel and need straight answers about repair versus replacement, real costs, and what actually holds up against salt, heat, and storm pressure. If you would rather talk it through, call (239) 326-9942 and a live person will answer.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass builds a range of roof glazing, tubular skylights, and fixed roof windows. In Naples, we see the same patterns repeat across neighborhoods like Park Shore, Aqualane Shores, and the Moorings. Here is what actually fails and what we do about it.
- Seal failure at the curb-mount flashing on Mr-Glass fixed roof windows. The original butyl or silicone seal between the frame and the curb eventually dries out under Florida sun. Water gets underneath, works its way into the roof deck, and the inside of the glass fogs. We pull the unit, inspect the curb for rot, rebuild or reseal the curb, and set the replacement with a fresh mechanical and chemical seal.
- Condensation between panes on Mr-Glass tubular skylights. The dome’s inner and outer layers are separated by an air gap that was never meant to be sealed for life. After ten or twelve years in Naples humidity, the desiccant inside the edge seal is exhausted and the dome mists from the inside. That is not a cleaning problem. We replace the dome assembly and, when the flashing is still sound, the job takes about an hour on site.
- Frame corrosion on Mr-Glass aluminum roof windows near the coast. Homes along Gulf Shore Boulevard take salt mist every afternoon breeze. The factory finish on older Mr-Glass frames was not rated for constant marine exposure, so the aluminum pits and the corners start to oxidize. We see it most on units installed before 2010. Replacement frames we order with a marine-grade finish where the manufacturer offers it, or we switch the homeowner to a PGT or CGI roof glazing product with a heavier coastal coating.
- Cracked or crazed acrylic domes on Mr-Glass skylights after hail or impact. Acrylic domes get brittle after years of UV. A storm that would not dent a metal roof can crack an aged Mr-Glass dome. If the roof membrane is intact, it is a straightforward dome swap. If water has been entering, we trace the staining and repair the roof deck before we set the new dome.
- Improper original slope on Mr-Glass roof panels causing standing water. Roof glazing on a low-slope Naples roof needs positive drainage. Some Mr-Glass roof panels were set nearly flat on older flat-roof homes near Naples Bay, and standing water is what killed the seals. We correct the pitch with a raised curb or replace the panel with a properly sloped unit, whichever the roof structure will handle.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass roof job follows the same sequence, whether it is a skylight, a roof window, or a full panel replacement.
- 1
Call and tell us what you are seeing. A live person answers. We schedule a site visit at a time that works for you.
- 2
Measurement and inspection. Our technician measures the rough opening twice, checks the curb and roof deck for hidden water damage, and documents the failure before anything is removed.
- 3
Written quote with two options. We put OEM Mr-Glass parts and quality aftermarket equivalents side by side on paper, with prices, so you can see the difference and decide with the facts in front of you.
- 4
The replacement. We remove the old unit, repair any curbing or flashing issues, set the new glazing, and seal it against Naples heat, salt, and rain.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We water-test every roof installation before we call it done. Then we clean the site and run through the warranty paperwork with you.
- 6
The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not right, we come back until it is. No arguing, no fine print.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Naples
Every job is priced from the actual measurements and the condition of your roof curb, but here are the ranges we quote most often in Naples.
- Mr-Glass tubular skylight dome replacement: $380 to $750, depending on dome size and flashing condition.
- Mr-Glass fixed roof window replacement: $950 to $2,400, including new flashing and resealing. If the roof deck under the curb is rotted, the price moves up accordingly.
- Full Mr-Glass roof panel or glazing section replacement: $2,100 to $5,800, driven by panel size, frame material, and whether the curb needs rebuilding.
- Roof curb repair or rebuild before any glazing work: $300 to $900, depending on the extent of water damage.
What moves the price is the condition of the curb, whether the roof deck needs carpentry, and whether you want OEM or a comparable aftermarket unit. We do not pad quotes with surprise line items. Call (239) 326-9942 for a free written estimate on your Mr-Glass roof replacement.
Why Naples Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
Naples homeowners call us because we have been setting glass in this climate for decades, and we act like a company that plans to be here in thirty more years. Dale Kessler learned the trade from his father in Ohio, spent years replacing impact glass along the Gulf Shore Boulevard corridor, and never signs off on an install he would not put his own name on twice.
Every Mr-Glass roof job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure twice. When an OEM Mr-Glass part is not the best call for coastal exposure, we will tell you, and we carry authorized lines like PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows so you are never cornered into a bad fix. If it is not right when we leave, we come back until it is.
FAQs
Yes. We match the rough opening and either source the closest current Mr-Glass equivalent or recommend a quality aftermarket unit from PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows that fits the same curb with correct flashing. You get both options priced side by side before you choose.
No, as long as the work is done by an independent contractor using proper materials and methods. What we see void warranties is water damage from a failed curb seal that was never addressed. We register every manufacturer warranty layer in writing before we leave, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship regardless.
A tubular skylight dome swap is usually a same-day job. A full fixed roof window replacement typically takes one day on site, plus the time for parts to arrive. If the roof curb needs rebuilding, add a second visit. Most complete projects wrap within two business days of parts arriving.
Replace. Fogging between the panes or inside the dome means the seal has failed, and resealing an aged Mr-Glass roof unit is throwing money at glass that has already exhausted its desiccant. We will give you an honest recommendation on whether the curb and roof are salvageable, which decides whether the job stays simple or gets bigger.
That depends on the scope. A dome swap on an existing curb typically does not require one under Naples building department rules for like-for-like replacements. Roof window or structural glazing replacements with curb rebuilding often require a permit and inspection, which we handle from start to finish. Call (239) 326-9942 and we will tell you what your specific project needs, along with a free estimate.
