Mr-Glass Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Fort Lauderdale, from Poinsettia Heights to the barrier island. Our crews have worked on hundreds of Mr-Glass installations here, and the one thing that separates our work is this: we know how this city’s salt air, hurricane pressure cycles, and aging concrete-block frames stress Mr-Glass hardware, so we fix the root cause instead of just swapping parts. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale is an independent Mr-Glass service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we answer to you, not a corporate warranty department. Our team, led by Isaac Pruett, has spent two decades doing remodeling and glass work across Fort Lauderdale, including the older concrete-block homes east of US-1 where Mr-Glass enclosures from the 1970s and 80s are still in daily service. Mr-Glass sales & service requires a certain kind of patience, and we’ve developed it.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most glass companies in Fort Lauderdale know how to hang a shower door. Fewer understand why a Mr-Glass roller assembly seizes two summers after installation when it’s three blocks from the Atlantic. Salt air is brutal on anodized aluminum. We see pitting and white corrosion bloom on Mr-Glass tracks within two years on beachside condos unless someone rinses the metal with freshwater monthly, and almost nobody does. So we install marine-grade 316 stainless rollers where the factory spec allows, and we tell homeowners which parts of their enclosure need that monthly rinse.
Isaac Pruett grew up around building work in Los Angeles and trained in construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending the better part of two decades running remodeling projects across South Florida. He has walked enough Fort Lauderdale job sites, Victoria Park included, to know what hides behind drywall in this city, which is why we operate as a Fort Lauderdale General Contractor that tells you upfront what we found. We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost, before we touch a thing. That is how the whole company operates.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
- Salt-air pitting and corrosion of anodized aluminum tracks and hinges. Beachside condos in Fort Lauderdale eat aluminum for breakfast. Within two years without freshwater rinsing, Mr-Glass tracks start pitting, and hinges grind instead of glide. We replace the corroded hardware and show you exactly which parts need a monthly rinse so it doesn’t happen again.
- Roller assemblies seizing or jumping track on Mr-Glass bypass doors. Older 1970s concrete-block homes in Fort Lauderdale settle. Framing goes out of square by fractions of an inch, and that’s enough to make a Mr-Glass bypass door jump its track. We square the opening and reset the rollers to factory tolerance rather than forcing the door to fit a crooked frame.
- Silicone seal failure at the bottom sweep and side jambs after hurricane pressure cycles. Fort Lauderdale doors take wind-driven pressure during every hurricane season. The seals on Mr-Glass enclosures eventually give way, and slow leaks rot the subfloor under tile before you ever see water on the surface. We pull the old seal, inspect for hidden rot, and re-seal with products rated for this climate.
- Micro-crazing of tempered glass panels from improper shimming in high-rise towers. Fort Lauderdale’s coastal high-rises sway in the wind. That movement, over years, shows up as fine cracks in Mr-Glass panels that were shimmed too tight during the original install. We re-hang with correct tolerances so the glass can breathe without stress fractures.
- White powder corrosion from salt-laden AC condensate on older homes. This one surprises people. On 1950s-70s Fort Lauderdale homes, AC condensate lines run near bathroom walls, and the humid, salty condensation accelerates corrosion on Mr-Glass aluminum. We identify the source as part of every repair, not just replace the part.
Mr-Glass Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fort Lauderdale’s barrier island and the Las Olas corridor sit inside a Florida Building Code High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That designation is not a suggestion. Any Mr-Glass impact window or door replacement in that zone has to pass Notice of Acceptance testing with specific lab reports tied to the product line, not just generic Miami-Dade approval. A contractor who files the wrong paperwork with the city’s Building Services division will get a stop-work order taped to the front door. We handle the HVHZ paperwork as part of every impact-rated Mr-Glass installation we do in Fort Lauderdale, because we have watched other crews get shut down mid-job for skipping it. If you live east of US-1 and a hurricane has taken out your glass, that paperwork is what stands between you and a repaired home this season.
Our tech just finished a Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale project: a Mr-Glass frameless bypass tub enclosure in a 1968 concrete-block ranch in Poinsettia Heights. The original 1974 Mr-Glass sliding track had corroded to white powder from decades of salt-laden AC condensate, and the rollers had chewed through the bottom rail. We pulled the old aluminum, squared the opening, and installed a new Mr-Glass Heavy Glass Bypass Door with marine-grade 316 stainless rollers and a sealed bottom sweep. The owner now opens it with two fingers. That is the difference between patching and fixing in Fort Lauderdale.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work on the full run of Mr-Glass lines that show up in Fort Lauderdale homes: the Straight Sliding Tub/Shower Enclosure, the Neo-Angle Hinged Shower Enclosure, the Inline Panel with Return Panel, and the Heavy Glass Frameless Bypass Door. For parts, we source OEM Mr-Glass rollers, seals, and strike plates whenever they are still in production. When a model is too old for OEM stock, we use precision-machined aftermarket components that match the original extrusion profiles, not universal-fit hardware that almost fits. We keep common rollers, seals, and glazing tapes stocked locally so Fort Lauderdale jobs don’t wait on a parts warehouse in another state.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Yes. The factory anodizing on Mr-Glass aluminum is a good start, but Fort Lauderdale’s salt-laden air demands more. We recommend a monthly freshwater rinse of exposed tracks and hinges on any enclosure within three miles of the coast, and we apply a marine-grade protective film on new installs in beachside and intracoastal properties. Call (754) 354-3720 if you want us to assess your existing enclosure’s corrosion risk.
In most cases we can replace just the rollers, provided the track itself is not pitted or corroded through. We source OEM Mr-Glass rollers when they are still available, and use precision-machined aftermarket rollers on older models where OEM stock has dried up. If the track is corroded to white powder or the panel shows micro-crazing, we’ll tell you straight that a full replacement is the smarter call. Estimates are free at (754) 354-3720.
There is extra paperwork, and it is specific to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A Mr-Glass impact product has to pass Notice of Acceptance testing tied to that exact product line, with lab reports filed with the city’s Building Services division. Generic Miami-Dade approval does not clear the bar in the HVHZ. We handle that filing on every impact-rated install we do in Fort Lauderdale. Call (754) 354-3720 to confirm your product qualifies before you buy.
We prioritize homes east of US-1 after a storm, because that corridor has the oldest housing stock built before modern hurricane codes, and those homes are the most vulnerable to windborne debris and water intrusion. Impact window and door replacements there surge after every significant storm. If your Mr-Glass glass has been damaged, call (754) 354-3720 and tell us you are east of US-1. We’ll get you on the schedule fast.
We can match most Mr-Glass tints and obscure patterns, though some discontinued patterns from the 1980s and earlier require custom sourcing or a complete panel replacement on both sides of the enclosure to keep the look consistent. We will bring samples to your Fort Lauderdale condo and match under your actual lighting before we order anything. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule that. It is free.
