Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Westlight Windows Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Mr-Glass windows and doors service across Fort Lauderdale, from canal-front homes in Las Olas Isles to mid-century ranches off Cordova Road. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work different here: we know which repairs will actually pass a Broward County wind-mitigation inspection, because we’ve done hundreds of them. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. We’re a local shop that knows Mr-Glass frame profiles, hardware specs, and how they fail in salt air. Call (754) 354-5397 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass window or door.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most window companies in South Florida will happily sell you a full replacement when a $180 hardware fix would do the job. We’d rather tell you what the house needs and let you decide. Owen Satterfield, who leads our Fort Lauderdale crew, spent the better part of two decades installing windows and exterior doors across Broward County, including a stretch of whole-house impact window projects along Las Olas Boulevard. He’s seen what salt spray does to Mr-Glass aluminum cladding within three blocks of the Intracoastal, and he’s seen what humidity does to balances in a non-air-conditioned sunroom. That experience means we diagnose faster and quote honestly. Every job comes with the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before any work starts, a committed arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on the completed work. If a repair fails during the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.
We’re an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, founded in 2009. Our Mr-Glass sales & service work draws on eight manufacturer lines we stock and install, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That’s relevant even when you only need Mr-Glass work, because it means we’re not trying to force your house to fit one brand. We’ll match what’s there, or tell you honestly when a different product makes more sense.
Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
Here are the five Mr-Glass failure modes we see most often in Fort Lauderdale, and what’s usually behind them:
- Salt spray pitting on aluminum cladding and hardware. Mr-Glass frames within a few blocks of the Intracoastal, especially older 4500 Series Horizontal Sliders, develop pitting that looks like fine sandpaper across the frame face. It’s cosmetic at first, but pitted hardware eventually binds. We replace operators and rollers with marine-grade stainless aftermarket parts from South Florida suppliers that hold up better than the originals.
- Sagging or binding sashes on Mr-Glass 7700 Single Hung windows. Constant humidity-related expansion in non-air-conditioned sunrooms and lanais causes the balance system to work loose. Homeowners in the 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival homes common to Victoria Park and Rio Vista often find windows that won’t stay up. We re-balance, replace worn coil balances, and re-align the sash.
- Failed impact laminated glass seals on Mr-Glass 7900 windows. Repeated pressure cycling from summer squalls eventually breaks the seal on the laminated impact glass, creating internal fogging between the panes. This is a common trigger for failed wind-mitigation inspections before home sales. We source OEM Mr-Glass sealed units where production is still running.
- Corroded corner keys and weatherstripping on Mr-Glass casement operators. Canal-side mist is relentless. On 5200 Series Casement windows, the corner keys that hold the frame square corrode and the weatherstripping bleeds salt residue. You’ll see a white crust at the corners. We replace with stainless aftermarket pivots and marine-grade weatherstripping.
- Failed wind-mitigation inspection items on older Mr-Glass frames. Pre-2010 Mr-Glass frames with repeated hardware failures often can’t be re-certified. We walk owners through an honest compare: replacing operable sashes with new code-rated Mr-Glass, or retrofitting inserts into the existing openings.
Mr-Glass Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Working on Mr-Glass windows in Fort Lauderdale’s Rio Vista or Las Olas Isles neighborhoods means navigating the city’s Historic Preservation Board window replacement rules for contributing structures. Any non-matching, non-impact Mr-Glass full-frame change often triggers a full board review before permits are issued. That’s not true across the city line in Hollywood or Cooper City, and it’s the single biggest scheduling variable for Mr-Glass work in those Fort Lauderdale historic districts. A straightforward sash replacement can add weeks if the board needs to review the window profile. We know which Mr-Glass models match the historic sightlines well enough to clear review, and which ones will stall. For a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home in Victoria Park, the 7700 Single Hung in a baked-enamel finish often passes where a full-frame 7900 impact swap would draw objections. We handle the paperwork and the board communication, because we’ve done it enough times to know what they’ll ask before they ask it.
We saw exactly this on a 1960s ranch off Cordova Road. A failing wind-mitigation inspection flagged two Mr-Glass 5200 casements with corroded stud mounts and salt-bleeding weatherstripping. We pulled the original sashes, replaced the corner hardware with stainless aftermarket pivots, and re-glazed with laminated impact glass into the existing Mr-Glass frames. The follow-up inspection passed, with the house’s original look intact.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We service the full Mr-Glass line that’s common in South Florida, including the 7900 Series Impact Windows, 7700 Series Single Hung, 5200 Series Casement, and 4500 Series Horizontal Slider. For parts, we source OEM Mr-Glass sealed units, balances, and cam locks where production is still running. But we don’t default to OEM for everything. On canal-side and Intracoastal homes, we often spec marine-grade aftermarket rollers, hinges, and weatherstripping from South Florida suppliers specifically because they outperform the originals against salt-specific corrosion. We keep common Mr-Glass hardware in local inventory, which means most repair jobs don’t wait on a parts shipment.
Beyond repairs, we install hurricane impact windows, 3-panel sliding (3-lite roller) windows, and Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale including insert window replacement for Fort Lauderdale homes upgrading from single-pane originals. Most of the older homes here are not up to current wind mitigation standards, and retrofits into existing frames are the most cost-effective path to compliance.
Mr-Glass Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Most Mr-Glass repair jobs in Fort Lauderdale run $180 – $340 for hardware replacement like rollers, balances, cam locks, or casement operators. Replacing a fogged impact sealed unit runs $450 – $900 per sash depending on size and series. A full Window Replacement - Fort Lauderdale insert into existing Mr-Glass frames typically ranges $700 – $1,400 per opening, and full-frame impact window replacement starts around $1,200 per opening and goes up from there, with 7900 Series impact windows on the higher end for larger openings. What drives the cost: the Mr-Glass series, the glass spec, whether the opening is in a historic district requiring board review, and how much salt damage the existing hardware has sustained. Your free estimate includes a written line-item price before any work starts. No revised invoices at the door. Call (754) 354-5397 and we’ll give you exact numbers for your house.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, in most cases. The 7700 Series frame is deep enough to accept a laminated impact sealed unit, and we’ve done this retrofit dozens of times in Fort Lauderdale homes. The frame must be structurally sound and free of salt-driven corrosion at the corners. If the corner keys are compromised, a full replacement makes more sense. Call (754) 354-5397 and we’ll assess your frames for free.
The 4500 Series sliders fail wind mitigation because the original rollers and interlock hardware were not marine-grade, and canal-side humidity corrodes them over time. Inspectors look for smooth operation, intact weatherstripping, and un-pitted frames. When the rollers bind or the interlock is corroded, the window gets flagged. We replace the rollers and interlocks with stainless aftermarket parts and the window typically passes re-inspection without replacing the frame.
Yes. The Mr-Glass 7900 Series Impact Windows carry Miami-Dade HVHZ approval, which is the standard Fort Lauderdale enforces. That means the product itself meets high velocity hurricane zone code. What still matters is the installation: the fasteners, the anchoring pattern, and the flashing all have to match the approved product notice. We install to the approval spec, and our work passes Broward County inspection. Call (754) 354-5397 for a free estimate on 7900 installation.
Yes. A broken casement crank operator is a hardware replacement, not a window replacement. On canal-side homes in Victoria Park, we also inspect the corner keys and weatherstripping while we’re in there, because salt mist usually damages all three together. The operator itself is typically a $120 – $220 repair including labor. Replacing the whole window for a broken crank would be like replacing the engine because a belt snapped. We don’t do that, and we’ll tell you if honest up front.
Fogging between impact glass panes means the laminated seal has failed. In Fort Lauderdale, the usual culprit is repeated pressure cycling from summer squalls flexing the glass until the seal lets go. Once humid air gets between the panes, it condenses and fogs. The fix is replacing the sealed unit with an OEM Mr-Glass unit where available, typically $450 – $900 per sash. Call (754) 354-5397 and we’ll confirm the exact unit and price for your window before any work begins.
