We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Palm Beach, from the Estate Section to the Lake Trail corridor. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work different here: we understand what salt air and landmark review boards do to these specific units, and we plan for both before touching a single screw. Call (728) 203-1160 for a free estimate.
As independent specialists, we’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we’ve never claimed to be. What we are is deeply familiar with Mr-Glass hardware, weatherstripping, and glazing tolerances. We keep a reference library of Mr-Glass shop drawings and glass specs on hand, and we source directly from regional suppliers. When a Mr-Glass window in Palm Beach fails, we know whether it needs a repair or a full-frame replacement, and we’ll tell you which one before we quote a dollar figure. Keith Yamada, our owner, trained in the building trades at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent years working through every stage of a window and door installation. He’s the one who insists we explain every step before work begins, on Mr-Glass jobs and everything else we do.
Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
There are plenty of window companies that will tell you they can service any brand. Few of them have spent years repairing and restoring Mr-Glass products specifically, including discontinued lines and custom-impact conversions. That matters in Palm Beach, because so many homes here have Mr-Glass units that were installed to meet a specific architectural review requirement, not just a wind-load spec. When something fails, it has to be brought back to the same footprint, the same sightline, the same hardware spec. We’ve done that work on Seabreeze Avenue, along North County Road, and throughout the El Cid neighborhood in West Palm Beach, where older homes demand careful framing and an eye for the original character of the structure.
Our techs show up background-checked and uniformed. They follow the C.A.R.E. values on every visit: Clean up like it is our own home; Ask before we move or touch anything; Respect the family’s time and quiet hours; Explain the price before the work. That last one is non-negotiable with us. You get a written price before any work starts, every time. It’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise we’ve operated under since 2010, and it’s stamped on every job we do, not just the easy ones. Plus, a live person answers our phone 24/7. If something is wrong with your Mr-Glass install at 9pm on a Monday, you’re not getting a voicemail maze.

Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach
Here’s what we see most often in Palm Beach, and what’s actually going on underneath it:
- Salt-spray corrosion on steel hinge arms and stainless steel keeper plates. Within sight of the Intracoastal, Mr-Glass casement and awning operators start to seize. The salt settles into the hinges, pits the metal, and eventually the crank won’t turn. On a 2010 Mr-Glass Premium Casement with Stainless Hinges, this looks like a window that’s “just stiff” until one morning it won’t open at all. We clean and re-lubricate what’s salvageable, and replace what isn’t with genuine Mr-Glass factory hardware.
- UV degradation of vinyl glazing beads and corner gaskets. South-facing oceanfront facades take the full sun. On Mr-Glass 700 Series Single Hung Impact units, the glazing beads dry out and shrink, and the corner gaskets lose their flex. That’s what causes the air leaks and the glass rattle you hear when the wind comes through. We replace the beads and re-gasket the sash, which restores the seal and quiets the rattle.
- Failed silicone beading around insulated glass units. On Mr-Glass 8800 Series Horizontal Roller Impact windows, the IGU seal bead breaks down over time. You’ll see interior condensation you can’t wipe away, and eventually a mineral haze between the panes. That’s a glass unit failure, not a cleaning issue. We remove the old sash, replace the IGU, and re-bead it with commercial-grade silicone.
- Worn nylon rollers and track misalignment on Mr-Glass sliding doors. Mid-century Palm Beach homes with original sliding door tracks see this all the time. The nylon rollers wear flat, the panel drops a fraction of an inch, and then it binds or jumps the track. Sometimes the fix is new rollers and a track realignment. Sometimes the track itself is beyond saving and we’ll recommend a full-frame replacement with a Mr-Glass-compatible impact unit.
- Seized pivot bars on impact windows after repeated storm cycles. This is a Palm Beach signature. Wind-driven rain forces salt into the pivot mechanism, and a few seasons later the window won’t tilt in for cleaning. We replace the pivot bars and balance systems, and re-lubricate with a marine-grade compound that holds up better in coastal air.
Mr-Glass Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that’s true in Palm Beach and almost nowhere else. Many of the older Mediterranean Revival estates still have their original steel casement windows, and the landmarks commission forbids replacing them outright. The only path forward is restoration: keeping the original frame, matching the footprint exactly, and putting new insulated glass and hardware into what’s already there. When those homes have Mr-Glass units, they’re often retrofitted with custom stainless steel hinges and corrosion-inhibiting coatings, machined to the original dimensions. That’s a service we provide here routinely, but it’s rarely needed across the bridge in West Palm Beach, where the housing stock runs newer and the review process is less exacting. This is the Palm Beach-specific work we do: preserving what the commission requires, while making the window actually hold up to salt air and hurricane season.
On Seabreeze Avenue in the Estate Section, our crew restored three Mr-Glass 700 Series Single Hung impact windows in a 1920s Addison Mizner villa. Salt air had pitted the aluminum cladding and seized the pivot bars. We pulled the sashes, milled new marine-grade hinges, and replaced the weatherstripping with commercial-grade silicone bulb seals. Then we reinstalled everything with fresh stainless fasteners so the windows operate smoothly for another hurricane season. That’s the standard.
A window should do two things quietly: keep the weather out and let the right light in. On that Mizner villa, against that salt air, both take real work.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach
We service the full range of Mr-Glass product lines, including the 700 Series Single Hung Impact Windows, the 8800 Series Horizontal Roller Impact Windows, the Premium Casement Windows with Stainless Hinges, and the Classic Awning Windows with Multi-Point Locking. We also work on discontinued Mr-Glass lines, which is where the reference library matters. The balances, cam locks, and hinge sets on these units have proprietary dimensions. A generic aftermarket part rarely fits right, so we use genuine Mr-Glass factory hardware. When a glazing bead or trim piece has been out of production for years, we have select aluminum and vinyl extrusions custom-milled by a local fabricator to match the original profile exactly.
What we stock locally for fast Palm Beach turnaround: balance systems for the 700 and 8800 Series, stainless hinge sets for casements and awnings, cam locks, keeper plates, weatherstripping, and marine-grade lubricants for salt-air exposure. The less common parts we can usually have in hand within a few days from our regional suppliers. And if we’re replacing a Mr-Glass unit entirely, you’re getting a Mr-Glass-compatible impact window, quoted in writing before anything is ordered.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Palm Beach
For Palm Beach Mr-Glass repairs, here’s what drives the number. A simple balance replacement on a 700 Series Single Hung typically runs between $180 and $340 per window. Replacing a failed insulated glass unit on an 8800 Horizontal Roller usually runs $400 to $800 per sash, depending on size and whether it’s impact-rated. Full casement operator replacement with stainless hardware can run $250 to $500 per window. If the frame is twisted or corroded through, we’ll recommend Window Replacement in Palm Beach with a Mr-Glass-compatible impact unit, which is a bigger number, but patching a failing structural member is worse in the long run.
Your free estimate includes a full inspection of the unit, a diagnosis in plain English, and a written line-item price. No change orders. No invoice surprise. Call (728) 203-1160 and we’ll come out and look.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes. When the landmarks commission has jurisdiction over your facade, we restore the existing Mr-Glass framing and hardware in place, matching the original dimensions and sightlines exactly. That typically means custom-milled hinges, stainless fasteners, and insulated glass that fits the existing pockets without altering the exterior appearance. We’ve done this work on Seabreeze Avenue and throughout the Estate Section. Call (728) 203-1160 for an exact quote, free.
That rattle is almost always degraded vinyl glazing beads and corner gaskets on the sash. Coastal UV dries them out, they shrink, and the glass sits loose in the frame even when the lock is engaged. We replace the beads and gaskets, which restores the seal and stops the rattle. If the air leak has already let salt into the pivot mechanism, we’ll address that too.
Storms drive salt and fine sand into the track and onto the rollers. The rollers wear flat, the panel drops, and then it binds. The real fix is new Mr-Glass factory rollers, a full track cleaning and alignment, and often replacing the weatherstripping that’s been ground down. Lubricating it without addressing the rollers is a temporary patch. Call (728) 203-1160 and we’ll tell you exactly what your door needs.
Yes. We handle Window Installation in Palm Beach for Mr-Glass impact windows in new builds and additions, including homes going through architectural review. We pull permits where required, and we coordinate with the design specs so the windows fit both the wind-load requirements and the board’s expectations. We’re independent installers, which means the recommendation fits the home, not our preferred vendor. We also carry PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, so if Mr-Glass isn’t the right fit for a particular opening, we’ll tell you that directly.
You’ll see interior condensation that doesn’t wipe away, or a hazy film between the panes. That means the IGU seal has failed and the gas fill is gone. The window loses its thermal performance and you’re looking at a glass unit replacement, not a repair. In Palm Beach’s coastal air, this happens faster than the manufacturer’s typical lifespan on non-impact units. We’ll replace the IGU, re-bead it, and test the seals before we leave.
