Key Takeaways

• We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, so we choose parts based on what actually holds up in Miami’s climate, not what the factory’s warranty manual prefers.
• Shingle, tile, and metal roofing each fail differently in South Florida, and Mr-Glass systems have specific weak points we’ve cataloged over 15 years of local callbacks.
• Every quote is line-itemed, fixed, and backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
• Ed Winslow grew up in Kendall and knows what August storms do to a roof. My name is on the door - literally.

How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Mr-Glass makes solid roofing products, but Miami is a brutal testing ground. Here’s what we see most often, by material.

• Shingle lifting and granule loss on Mr-Glass architectural shingles. Miami’s afternoon thunderstorms plus relentless UV breaks down the adhesive strip on Mr-Glass’s dimensional shingles faster than the manufacturer’s lifespan estimate suggests. What looks like “just a loose shingle” is usually the seal strip failing across a whole slope. We resecure with a Miami-rated adhesive, replace any shingles with cracked corners, and check the adjacent courses so you don’t get a follow-up leak three weeks later.
• Tile slippage on Mr-Glass concrete and clay tile profiles. In older Miami neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Coral Way, we regularly see tile roofs where the original fasteners corroded through from salt air. Mr-Glass tile systems rely on a combination of mechanical fasteners and mortar, and once the fasteners go, tiles start sliding after heavy rain. We pull the affected section, inspect the underlayment, replace corroded fasteners with stainless, and reset each tile with fresh mortar matched to the existing profile.
• Seam separation on Mr-Glass standing seam metal panels. Miami’s heat expansion cycle is hard on metal roofing. Mr-Glass standing seam panels expand and contract daily, and after a decade the seams can open just enough to let wind-driven rain through during tropical storm conditions. We re-secure the seam with a compatible sealant, check the clips underneath, and replace any panels that have stress cracks near the fastener points.
• Flashing failures at penetrations on metal and tile Mr-Glass installations. This is the quiet killer - chimneys, vent pipes, skylights. Miami’s intense sun breaks down the flashing sealant Mr-Glass installs around penetrations, and by year seven or eight, most homes have at least one penetration starting to weep. We remove the old flashing, clean the surface, install new stainless or aluminum flashing, and seal with a product rated for South Florida UV exposure. This is the most common “small leak” we fix on Mr-Glass roofs in Miami.
• Underlayment breakdown below Mr-Glass tile and shingle systems. The tile or shingle you see is only half the system. The underlayment underneath takes the real beating, and in Miami’s humidity, synthetic underlayments can trap moisture and break down from the inside. We see this on Mr-Glass tile roofs in Coconut Grove and parts of Coral Gables where tree cover keeps the roof damp. Fixing it means lifting the tile or shingles, replacing the underlayment, and reinstalling everything. It’s the most expensive repair we do, but skipping it means the decking rots and you’re looking at structural work.

Our Mr-Glass Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   The call. You reach a live person at (863) 862-5435. We ask about the symptom, the age of the roof, and the material. Most Miami homeowners get a same-week appointment for non-emergency work.
2. 2
   The inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes out and looks at the roof from the surface, not from a drone photo. We check the specific Mr-Glass profile you have, test for soft spots, and look at the penetrations, flashing, and underlayment condition visible from the eaves.
3. 3
   The parts decision. We tell you straight whether OEM Mr-Glass parts are worth the wait and cost, or whether a quality aftermarket equivalent will perform the same or better in Miami’s climate. For most shingle repairs, aftermarket sealants and fasteners outperform OEM because they’re rated for higher UV and salt exposure. For tile, matching the profile matters more than the stamp.
4. 4
   The written quote. Line-itemed, fixed-price, with no change orders unless we open up the roof and find something genuinely unexpected. You’ll know the cost before we start.
5. 5
   The work. We repair or replace the affected section, clean up everything, and walk the roof with you if you want. Every job gets tested - we run water where appropriate and check for any moisture intrusion before we pack up.
6. 6
   The guarantee. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Mr-Glass repair we do. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. No fine print, no expiration in your lifetime.
