AfterMr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood: What to Know First
We install and replace Mr-Glass custom and geometric windows in Hollywood as an independent service provider. Most jobs run $2,800-$6,400 depending on shape complexity and whether the opening needs structural reframing. We bring a written price before any work starts, and that price is the invoice.
This page is for Hollywood homeowners who already own Mr-Glass products and need arched, curved, oversized, or geometric replacements, or who are specifying Mr-Glass for a new custom opening. We also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows lines if your project needs a performance comparison. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule your free measured survey.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- MG-Impact series: seal failure in radius-top units. The curved lite in MG-Impact geometric windows creates uneven thermal stress across the IGU, especially where Hollywood’s afternoon sun hits west-facing elevations. The argon escapes, silica desiccant saturates, and you get fogging at the 10-to-2 o’clock position. We replace with OEM-spec IGU built to the same radius, or source from our ES Windows custom line if lead times stretch.
- MG-Architectural line: corner delamination in polygon shapes. Multi-angle units (pentagons, trapezoids) concentrate shear at the mitered corner joints. After 6-8 years of Hollywood’s salt-air cycling, the thermal break separates from the aluminum extrusion. We pull the sash, document the corner geometry with a digital protractor, and order a replacement built to the corrected angle - not the nominal drawing.
- MG-Oversized fixed units: sagging at the horizontal mullion. Spans over 72 inches without a intermediate support were common in 2015-2019 Hollywood mid-century renovations. The dead-load deflection cracks the glazing bead and lets water track behind the interior trim. We sister a steel tube or specify a Therma-Tru complementary structural solution, then re-glaze with setting blocks placed at the quarter-points, not center-rail.
- MG-Coastal arched units: weep-path blockage. The radius bottom rail on arched operable windows has a reduced cavity volume. Construction dust from Hollywood’s ongoing infill development packs the weep channels. Water pools, calcium deposits form on the sill, and the operator rusts. We rod the weeps with nylon, replace the sill pan if the substrate is punky, and switch to stainless operators on rebuilds.
- MG-Laminated custom lites: edge de-lamination at cutouts. When Mr-Glass laminates are field-cut for geometric shapes, the PVB interlayer can separate at the cut edge if the blade speed or coolant was wrong. You see a milky halo that spreads inward. We measure the remaining clear dimension and order a factory-edged replacement from Mr-Glass or, if timeline demands, a CWS custom lite with comparable interlayer spec.
Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure, digital level, and angle gauge. You keep the dimension sheet. We read the rough opening against the manufacturer spec sheet before anything gets ordered.
- 2
Diagnostic documentation. We photograph the failure, record the series label (usually inside the jamb or on the spacer bar), and check whether the original was impact-rated or non-impact. This determines if we need Miami-Dade NOA-matched hardware.
- 3
Parts decision. OEM Mr-Glass parts when lead time allows; quality aftermarket or parallel CWS/ES Windows custom lines when the opening can’t wait. We document the substitution in writing.
- 4
Fabrication and install. Custom units ship to our Hollywood staging area. We verify sightline, glazing leg, and frame depth before the truck rolls to your address. Install follows the measured survey exactly - no field cuts on laminated glass.
- 5
Test and record. Operable units get full-cycle testing. Fixed units get air-seal verification. We shoot the completed work, upload the photo record, and stamp the job under Haven Clause 5: No surprises.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise. If the seal fogs, the sash binds, or the trim cracks, we return and make it right. The promise is written, not verbal.

AfterWhat Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard arched replacement (MG-Impact, up to 48″ x 72″) | $2,800-$3,900 |
| Polygon or trapezoid fixed unit (MG-Architectural) | $3,400-$5,200 |
| Oversized fixed span with structural reinforcement | $4,800-$6,400 |

What moves the price: radius complexity (true radius vs. segmented), impact-rated vs. non-impact glazing, whether the rough opening needs reframing, and whether we pull the permit. Hollywood’s building department requires permits for any structural modification to the opening; we handle that, included in the written scope.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Hollywood for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve installed and replaced 18,000+ openings since 2012, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when finished. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. We carry eight manufacturer lines so a Mr-Glass backorder doesn’t stall your project; if the MG-Architectural line is on allocation, we can cross-specify CGI or CWS custom geometry with comparable Miami-Dade ratings.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job. And we don’t do optimism - we measure the opening, not your optimism.
FAQs
No. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we use OEM-spec parts and documented procedures that preserve any remaining factory coverage on the frame and IGU. We note your original purchase date and serial number on the work order so warranty claims stay clean. Call (754) 714-7309 if you want us to review your warranty status before we start.
Typically 4-6 weeks from measured survey to install for standard radius and polygon shapes. True curves and oversized lites can stretch to 8 weeks depending on Mr-Glass’s current custom queue. We keep parallel CWS and ES Windows custom lines in our back pocket if your timeline is fixed. Call (754) 714-7309 and we’ll check current lead times against your opening.
If the frame is square, the glazing leg is intact, and the series is still in production, we can often replace just the IGU for $890-$1,400. If the sash corner is delaminated or the thermal break has failed, the full sash is the honest fix. We tell you which before you commit - Haven Clause 1.
Yes, when the opening is modified or the replacement is impact-rated in a HVHZ zone. We include permit pulling and inspection scheduling in the written scope. Hollywood’s building department inspects for proper anchorage and flashing integration; we pass before we invoice. Call (754) 714-7309 for specifics on your address.
Bring it. Our Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate means we’ll review their scope, their spec, and their price at no charge. We’ve caught missing impact ratings, wrong U-factors for east-west exposure, and sash depths that don’t match Hollywood’s common 4-inch stucco returns. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule.
