New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We install and replace Mr-Glass custom and geometric windows in Fort Lauderdale as an independent service provider, with most measured surveys scheduled within 48 hours of your call and written pricing delivered before any work begins. Our typical custom Mr-Glass opening runs $1,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on shape complexity and whether the unit carries impact rating for Broward County’s HVHZ requirements. This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who already own Mr-Glass products and need arched, curved, or oversized geometric units replaced or upgraded, not for new construction specifiers. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your free measured survey.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Radius-top units in the MG-Impact series develop seal creep at the springline. The curved aluminum extrusion expands differently than the straight leg below it under Fort Lauderdale’s daily thermal cycling, and the dual-seal polyisobutylene tape migrates toward the interior after 6-10 years. We remove the sash, clean the glazing pocket to bare metal, and reset with Sika Hyflex-250 or OEM-equivalent structural glazing tape rated for 150% joint movement. Sonia Raman started tracking this specific failure after a cluster of callbacks along Las Olas Isles in 2017; we now spec heavier tape at the springline by default.
- MG-Custom oversized fixed units show corner deflection in gable installations. The 1-3/4″ frame depth on units over 72″ x 96″ doesn’t always carry the dead load of triple-pane impact glass without a steel sub-frame, and we find the corners have dropped 1/8″ to 3/16″ when the interior drywall cracks diagonally from the head. We sister in a concealed steel angle at the header, re-square the frame, and replace the glass pack if the deflection stressed the edge seal.
- Trapezoid and pentagon shapes in the MG-Architectural line lose argon within 4-7 years. The mitered corners on non-rectangular units have more seal path per square foot of glass, and Mr-Glass’s corner keys don’t always maintain consistent pressure during Fort Lauderdale’s wet-season humidity swings. We pressure-test the insulated glass unit, and if argon loss exceeds 50%, we order a replacement IG from Mr-Glass or, when lead times stretch past 8 weeks, a certified aftermarket fabricator with the same warm-edge spacer and low-E coating.
- MG-Impact geometric units near the Intracoastal show frame oxidation at weep channels. Salt air collects where the sill meets the subsill on shapes with angled bottoms, and the 6063-T5 aluminum develops pitting that weeps won’t clear. We pull the unit, treat the substrate with chromate conversion coating, and install a marine-grade subsill with positive drainage before resetting the original sash if it’s still sound.
- Custom color anodizing fades unevenly on south-facing geometric units. Mr-Glass’s standard anodize holds up reasonably well, but the expanded surface area of curved frames catches more UV, and Fort Lauderdale’s 240+ days of direct sun per year accelerate chalking on the extrusion’s outer radius. We match the remaining color with a wet-coat fluoropolymer finish (PPG Duranar or equivalent) that carries a 10-year chalk rating, applied off-site to avoid overspray on your siding.
Before
AfterOur Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. We arrive with a digital measuring system and a printed template of your existing unit’s shape. You keep the survey document; it’s the basis for everything that follows.
- 2
Diagnostics. We test for seal failure (fogging between panes), frame square (laser level on all four corners), and hardware function. For impact-rated units, we check the Miami-Dade NOA label against the existing installation to confirm the assembly hasn’t been modified.
- 3
Parts decision. If the unit is under 10 years old and the NOA is current, we quote Mr-Glass OEM glass packs and extrusions. For discontinued shapes or lead times exceeding your tolerance, we document the equivalent aftermarket specification and present both options with the price difference in writing.
- 4
Fabrication and scheduling. Custom Mr-Glass units typically ship in 4-6 weeks; aftermarket equivalents in 2-3. We schedule installation before the unit arrives so there’s no storage gap.
- 5
Installation and testing. We set the frame with shims at 16″ centers, anchor with stainless Tapcons into the structural opening, and seal with backer rod and Dow 795. For impact units, we verify the missile-impact certification sticker is intact and photograph the installation for your record.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee. You receive the photo record, the final invoice matching the written quote, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped under Haven Clause 5: No Surprises.

These are installed prices for Fort Lauderdale homes with standard second-floor access and no structural modification. Third-story sets, stucco cutback, or rotted wood framing add labor and materials we itemize in the written scope. The price we write is the price you pay; Haven Clause 1 doesn’t allow for change orders after the fact. Call (754) 666-7478 for your free measured survey and exact quote.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve measured and installed more than 18,000 openings since 2012, and a measurable subset of those have been Mr-Glass custom shapes in Fort Lauderdale’s older waterfront stock - the 1980s-2000s homes along Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, and Harbor Beach where original geometric units are now hitting their replacement window. Our technicians carry license numbers on their uniforms and background-check documentation on request; Haven Clause 3 means the person at your door matches the person on the record.
When Mr-Glass lead times don’t match your timeline, we draw from seven additional verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - specified by what your opening requires, not by what we have in stock. Every job leaves a documented photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on your paperwork, not offered as a courtesy. Measure it right the first time or measure it twice on someone else’s dime.
FAQs
No - as an independent Mr-Glass service provider, our work doesn’t automatically void existing manufacturer coverage, though we recommend you check your original warranty document for any “authorized dealer” clause that may limit parts availability from Mr-Glass directly. We document every part source and serial number so you have a clear chain of custody if a warranty claim arises later. Call (754) 666-7478 and we’ll review your paperwork at no charge.
Mr-Glass OEM custom geometric units typically ship in 4-6 weeks from order confirmation; aftermarket equivalents with matching NOA certification ship in 2-3 weeks. We don’t quote faster than the fabricator confirms, because a rushed custom unit is a unit that doesn’t fit. Call (754) 666-7478 to check current lead times for your specific shape.
Yes - we measure the existing SDL (simulated divided lite) or GBG (grille-between-glass) spacing to the nearest 1/16″ and photograph the profile for the fabricator. Mr-Glass uses a proprietary snap-in SDL profile on most MG-Architectural units; aftermarket suppliers stock compatible profiles, though the finish may vary slightly on aged anodizing. We note any visible difference in the written quote before you approve.
Replace the insulated glass unit if the frame is square and the hardware functions; replace the entire sash and frame if there’s corner deflection, seal creep, or anodizing failure that compromises the weather seal. We make this determination during the measured survey and write both options when the choice isn’t obvious. Call (754) 666-7478 for a free second opinion on any competitor’s written estimate.
Yes - Broward County requires a building permit for any window replacement in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, including Fort Lauderdale, and we pull and close those permits as part of our standard scope. The inspection record becomes part of your documentation package. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your measured survey; estimates are free.
