Mr-Glass Window Installation: The Davie Owner’s Guide

We install, replace, and service Mr-Glass windows throughout Davie, and we stock the mounting hardware, balance systems, and weather seals that keep them operating right. Installed window installation and part replacement typically runs $180 to $520 depending on what failed, and we can usually have a technician to your Davie home within a day or two. Most owners find us because a Mr-Glass window that worked fine for years has started binding on one side, letting daylight through a corner, or refusing to stay open in July humidity. The part itself rarely fails all at once; it fails slowly until one afternoon the window does something it never did before.

We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with Mr-Glass. But we’ve been measuring, setting, and sealing windows in Broward County for going on twenty-six years, and we know these units well enough to tell you exactly what you’re looking at.

Which Mr-Glass Models This Applies To

Mr-Glass windows are common in Davie homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, and the installation hardware follows the window’s style: single-hung and double-hung units, horizontal sliders, and fixed picture windows with operable side-lites. The part that typically needs attention is the balance system on hung windows, the roller assembly on sliders, or the mounting clips and shims on picture windows that have pulled away from the opening.

The quickest way to identify what you have: check the metal spacer bar between the glass panes for a laser-etched code or sticker, and look at the top sash corner for a stamped series number. Mr-Glass balance assemblies come in specific weight ranges matched to sash size, and a balance rated for a 24-inch sash will not hold a 36-inch sash properly. This is the compatibility gotcha we see most often in Davie: a homeowner buys a generic balance online, hangs the sash, and the window slams shut two days later. For Mr-Glass specifically, we recommend OEM balances and rollers when available. The aftermarket equivalents work, but the spring tension and shoe profile must match exactly, and the OEM parts are the ones that fit without shimming.

On the truck we carry common Mr-Glass balance assemblies, roller sets, and weatherstripping profiles for the series most installed in Davie’s older HOA communities and ranch-style neighborhoods. If your unit needs a less common spec, we order it and return to install.

Signs Your Mr-Glass Window Installation Is Failing

• The sash drops when you let go, or jerks halfway down. The balance spring or block-and-tackle assembly has lost tension. In Davie’s humidity, the internal coil can rust and snap even when the window looks clean from inside.
• The window is hard to slide, or it drags against the track. The roller wheels on a slider have flattened or the bearings have seized. Sand and grit from Florida thunderstorms work into the track and grind the nylon down over time.
• Air or water moves around the frame edges. The installation flashing or perimeter seal has failed. We see this most often on the west-facing walls in Davie, where afternoon sun bakes the caulk until it shrinks and cracks.
• The glass looks fine but the window rattles in the wind. The mounting clips or shims behind the frame have loosened. The window is moving inside the rough opening, which means the weather barrier is working loose with it.
• Condensation forms between the panes. The insulated glass unit’s seal has failed. The window still slides, but it is no longer insulating. It needs a new IGU set into the existing Mr-Glass frame, which we do in Davie regularly.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For a Mr-Glass window installation repair in Davie, here is what we quote, parts and labor together. We price line items side by side on paper so you see the part, the labor, and the warranty before any work starts.

• Balance assembly replacement (hung windows): $180 to $320 per window, depending on sash weight and series.
• Roller assembly replacement (sliders): $160 to $280 per door or window, including track cleaning and alignment.
• Perimeter re-seal and re-shim: $140 to $260, including removal of failed caulk and installation of new flashing tape and sealant.
• Insulated glass unit replacement in Mr-Glass frame: $340 to $520 per pane, depending on glass size and Low-E coating.
• Full window installation (Mr-Glass unit removed, replacement set): $495 and up, quoted per opening with measurements taken twice on site.

The range comes down to sash weight, frame condition, and whether the rough opening needs correction before the new hardware goes in. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your Davie driveway. No change orders, no surprise line items.

DIY or Call Us?

There are a few things you can safely check: whether the window is visibly out of square, whether the track is full of sand and debris, whether a locking point has come loose. Cleaning a track and tightening a screw are reasonable Saturday jobs.

What we would not recommend doing yourself is pulling the sash and replacing a balance assembly. Those spring-loaded balances are under real tension, and when one lets go during an unsupervised swap, it can take a finger or a window pane with it. Same goes for removing an IGU; the glass is heavy, and if the sealant bond is old, it does not always release the way you expect. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and a window that is slightly out of square in a Davie afternoon thunderstorm will remind you of that. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll measure it twice, quote it in writing, and handle the rest.
