Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Miami, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we provide independent Mr-Glass repair and replacement service across Miami. If your Mr-Glass window or door isn’t sliding, sealing, or latching the way it should, call (727) 291-4678. The angle that separates us from a parts counter or a handyman is simple: we know how Mr-Glass equipment behaves after years in Miami’s salt air, and we know exactly which Miami-Dade NOA paperwork each series needs before a permit gets pulled.

Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and every Mr-Glass job we quote comes with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s how we’ve operated since 2011, and it’s why homeowners from Little Havana to Brickell keep our number saved.
Why Miami Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Authorized installers know how to put a window in. We know what happens to a Mr-Glass window five years after it goes into a concrete block home two miles off Biscayne Bay. There’s a difference. Ed Winslow grew up in Little Gables, studied building construction at Miami Dade College’s Kendall Campus, and has spent the better part of two decades going behind national chain installs and fixing what Miami’s climate undid. Mr-Glass sales & service is a core part of what our crews handle every week.
We stock OEM Mr-Glass rollers, balances, and weatherstripping for current production series, and when a series has been discontinued, we source exact-match replacements rated for Miami-Dade wind loads. We don’t substitute a generic part and hope it holds. In this city, hoping isn’t a strategy. We also answer the phone live, around the clock. When your Mr-Glass sash drops in the middle of July and the humidity is already inside your living room, you get a person, not a voicemail loop.
Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Miami
Some of these calls come in weekly. Here’s what Mr-Glass owners across Miami are dealing with:
- 8700 horizontal rollers seizing or jumping track. Mr-Glass 8700 Series horizontal rollers take a beating in coastal Miami. Salt off the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay works into the roller assemblies, combines with fine sand grit, and the track starts to grind. We replace the roller assemblies with stainless steel hardware and re-square the panel so it stops fighting the frame every time it moves.
- 7700 single hung balancers losing tension. In older Miami CBS homes, especially in Allapattah and Little Havana, interior humidity gets into the balance mechanisms of Mr-Glass 7700 single hungs. The sash won’t stay up, or worse, drops without warning. We replace the balancers and re-tension the sash so it holds at any height.
- Weep-hole clogs on east-facing Brickell condos. Wind-driven rain presses against high-rise Mr-Glass frames facing the bay. Debris clogs the weep holes, water pools inside the frame, and eventually you get staining on the interior sill or a swollen lower track. We clear the drainage channels and, where the design allows, add secondary drainage so standing water doesn’t sit in a Miami thunderstorm.
- Corroded insect screens on jalousie replacements. The original sliding screens fitted to many Mr-Glass replacements in pre-1992 Miami homes corrode at the corners. Gaps open up, and mosquito season doesn’t need an invitation. We measure and refit new screen frames with corrosion-resistant corners so the bugs stay outside where they belong.
- Old jalousies flanking Mr-Glass installs that now trigger insurance problems. A lot of Miami homeowners have newer Mr-Glass windows on the main body of the house but original louvered jalousies still on the porch or a back room. Citizens Property Insurance and private carriers in Miami-Dade are non-renewing policies over those louvered openings. We handle the jalousie-to-impact Mr-Glass swap so the whole envelope finally matches.
Mr-Glass Service in Miami: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact most window companies won’t put in their brochure: Miami-Dade County’s Notice of Acceptance, the NOA, requires that the entire replacement window assembly are tested together as a system. Frame, glass, hardware. All of it at once. A Mr-Glass window that passed Florida Building Code testing for a project in Tampa may not be legal in Miami unless the specific Miami-Dade NOA for that exact series is on file. That’s not a quirk. It’s the legacy of Hurricane Andrew, which flattened whole South Dade neighborhoods in 1992 and forced the county to build the strictest window and door approval process in the country. When we quote Mr-Glass work in Miami, we pull the NOA for your specific series before the first screw comes out. A contractor who knows Florida code but hasn’t worked inside Miami-Dade’s NOA system isn’t qualified to touch your openings. That’s not a dig at anyone. It’s just the truth of how this county operates.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Miami
Our technicians work on the Mr-Glass series most common in Miami-Dade homes:
- Mr-Glass 7700 Series Single Hung
- Mr-Glass 8700 Series Horizontal Roller
- Mr-Glass 9700 Series Casement
- Mr-Glass 5500 Series Fixed/Picture
For Mr-Glass windows still in production, we use OEM rollers, balances, and weatherstripping. Why? Because the original NOA was issued for those exact components, and swapping in an off-brand part can quietly void the very approval your insurer wants to see. For discontinued lines, we source exact-match aftermarket parts rated for Miami-Dade’s wind loads, then tell you straight whether repair makes sense or whether a full impact-rated replacement is the better call. Our standing rule: if repair costs get near 60% of our Impact Windows in Miami, we tell you before you spend another dollar on the old one.
Mr-Glass Service Pricing in Miami
What you’ll pay depends on the series, the failing component, and whether we’re repairing or replacing the opening. In our experience across Miami, here’s the realistic range:

FAQs - Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Miami
In most cases, no, not as a retrofit of the existing frame. Miami-Dade NOA testing covers the complete system, and an older Mr-Glass frame was never tested with today’s impact laminate. We’ll assess your existing series honestly and tell you when a full replacement is required to hold a current NOA. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll walk you through what your specific windows qualify for.
Humidity and salt combine in Miami’s coastal air to leave a corrosive film on roller tracks, and fine sand from ocean breezes makes that film abrasive. Once the original rollers start degrading, they don’t recover. We replace them with corrosion-resistant hardware and clean the track properly, so the panel slides easily for years rather than months.
Not for the original louvered jalousie mechanisms themselves. Those openings predate the impact-rating era entirely. What we typically do in old Allapattah or Little Havana CBS homes is measure the rough opening and perform Window Installation in Miami with a NOA-listed Mr-Glass impact unit, which also resolves the insurance non-renewal problem.
They can be, provided the exact series carries a valid Miami-Dade NOA for high-rise wind loads and the condo association approves the aesthetic. We verify both before ordering anything. The NOA is the non-negotiable part; the board approval is the part that needs patience.
Check the manufacturer label, often on the frame edge, for a NOA number. If you can’t find it, we can look up your Mr-Glass series against Miami-Dade’s approval database. If there’s no NOA on file, the window likely wasn’t permitted for Miami replacement at the time of install, which matters when your insurer asks. Call us for a lookup; it’s part of the free estimate.
