Mr-Glass Window Replacement: The Davie Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Mr-Glass-compatible window replacements in Davie for installed prices typically ranging from $340 to $780 per opening, depending on frame size, glazing specification, and whether the install is a retrofit or full-frame replacement. Most standard single-hung and horizontal roller units are available same-day from our Davie warehouse, with custom sizes and impact-rated configurations running 5-10 business days. Most Davie homeowners discover their Mr-Glass window has failed when they feel a draft along the sill during a summer storm, notice condensation between the glass lites that never clears, or find the sash won’t stay open - the balance system has lost tension after years of Florida heat cycling.
Which Mr-Glass Models This Applies To
Mr-Glass manufactures three residential lines we regularly encounter in Davie: the MG100 Single-Hung, MG200 Horizontal Roller, and MG300 Casement series. Each uses a distinct frame depth and glazing bead profile, so the replacement must match by series, not just rough opening dimension. The MG100 uses a 2-5/8 inch frame depth with a snap-in glazing bead; the MG200 runs 3-1/4 inches with a wedge-gasket system. Check the etched logo in the glass corner or the silver AAMA label on the frame head for the series code.
We are an independent service provider, not affiliated with Mr-Glass. For most Davie replacements, we source OEM Mr-Glass sashes and frames direct from the Miami distribution center. In cases where Mr-Glass has discontinued a series - the MG100 was phased out in 2019 - we fabricate compatible replacement sashes to the original sightline and U-factor specifications using CWS and ECO Window Systems extrusions that match the glazing pocket and hardware locations. The aftermarket decision depends on whether you need to maintain a uniform sightline across a bank of windows or can tolerate a slightly different frame profile on a single opening.
Signs Your Mr-Glass Window Replacement Is Failing

- Condensation between glass lites that persists for days. The insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed, allowing moist Florida air into the cavity. In Davie’s humidity, this accelerates - we see it most often on west-facing elevations where thermal cycling is most extreme.
- Sash drifts closed or won’t stay open. The coil balance system has lost tension. On MG100 units built before 2017, the balance shoe wears against the vinyl jamb liner; replacement requires removing the sash and accessing the balance pocket.
- Visible daylight or air infiltration at the frame perimeter. The weatherstrip has compressed or the frame has shifted in the opening. In Pine Island Ridge and similar Davie neighborhoods with 1980s-1990s construction, settling often reveals that the original install was shimmed tight but not foamed.
- Cracked or fogged glass with no impact history. Stress cracks propagate from the edge of the IGU when the spacer bar corrodes in salt air. Mr-Glass units within three miles of I-595 or the C-11 canal see this earlier than inland Davie homes.
- Hardware operates roughly or the lock won’t engage. The multipoint lock mechanism has corroded, or the keep has shifted as the frame settled. On MG200 horizontal rollers, the tandem roller assembly often flat-spots before the lock fails.

| Scope | Price Range (Installed) | Typical Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Retrofit sash replacement, standard size | $340-$480 | Same day |
| Full-frame replacement, standard size | $580-$780 | 1-2 days |
| Impact-rated IGU upgrade (per lite) | $180-$260 additional | 5-10 days |
| Custom geometric or oversized | $820-$1,400 | 10-14 days |
The range reflects three variables: frame condition (retrofit vs. full-frame), glazing specification (single-pane replacement vs. laminated impact-rated), and access difficulty (ground floor vs. second story with ladder work). Our measured survey produces a written scope and price before any work starts - Haven Clause 1. The price includes removal and disposal of the old unit, installation of the replacement, perimeter sealant, and operational testing. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise and leaves a documented photo record. We do not charge separately for the survey or the documentation.
DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely check three things before calling: verify the series code on the AAMA label, measure the visible glass dimensions (width by height, not rough opening), and photograph any label or etching for reference. Do not attempt to remove a sash heavier than 25 pounds alone, and do not pry at the frame with tools - Mr-Glass vinyl becomes brittle after 8-10 years of UV exposure and cracks under lever pressure.
Full replacement involves working at height, handling large glass lites, and achieving a weathertight seal that meets Florida Building Code. The 2023 FBC requires impact-rated products in all HVHZ zones, and Davie’s permitting office checks compliance on full-frame replacements. We pull permits when required, pass inspections, and warranty the installation. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule your free estimate - we’ll measure on-site and return a written price within 24 hours.
FAQs
Expect 12-18 years for standard vinyl-framed units and 18-25 years for impact-rated configurations, though west-facing elevations and homes near the C-11 canal often see seal failures 3-5 years earlier. Call (754) 254-8492 for an exact quote on replacement - estimates are free.
Condensation between lites requires IGU replacement, which we can often accomplish by swapping just the sash while retaining the existing frame. This costs 40-60% less than full-frame replacement if the frame is square and the hardware functions. Call (754) 254-8492 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A standard retrofit sash replacement takes 45-90 minutes per opening; full-frame replacement runs 2.5-4 hours including trim and sealant cure time. We schedule arrival windows and send the technician’s license number in advance - Haven Clause 3. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule.
We stock MG100 and MG200 sashes in the four most common Davie sizes (24×36, 30×54, 36×52, and 48×48) at our Davie warehouse, with same-day availability for standard retrofits. Custom sizes and MG300 casement hardware ship from Miami in 5-10 business days. Call (754) 254-8492 to confirm availability for your specific unit.
Sonia Raman still measures every job personally when the opening is irregular or the house is pre-1990. She picked up the fundamentals of glazing and fenestration at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades working through every phase of window and door installation. In Davie’s Pine Island Ridge neighborhood, she’s learned that older homes often need full-frame replacements rather than retrofits - the original frames were shimmed into block construction without foam, and they’ve settled in ways that make a sash-only swap leak within two seasons. “Measure it right the first time. Everything else follows from that.”
