Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Palm Springs, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Palm Springs, FL, with a focus on the 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranch homes that make up nearly the entire village. The thing that separates our Mr-Glass work here is simple: we know these houses, and we know which Mr-Glass frames fail in them. If your Mr-Glass windows are sticking, leaking, or flagged by your insurer, call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate.
We work on Mr-Glass windows and doors every week across Palm Beach County’s older CBS-construction homes. That gives us direct field knowledge of which Mr-Glass series hold up in South Florida and which ones need hinge, seal, or frame attention. We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by Mr-Glass. But we know their hardware, their glazing, and their failure points from thousands of hands-on repairs and retrofits. Learn more about our Mr-Glass sales & service.
Why Palm Springs Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most of the Mr-Glass units we service in Palm Springs were installed before impact glazing became code, and many of them were never set in proper bucks. We measure every rough opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2008 across Palm Beach County.
Dale Kessler grew up off Jog Road in Greenacres and trained in glazing and building construction at Palm Beach State College. He knows these openings because he grew up around them. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. No shortcuts on a CBS rough opening.
Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Springs
- White oxidation and pitting on aluminum frames. Mr-Glass aluminum frames on unshaded south and west exposures pit quickly in Palm Springs humidity. The powder you see at the sill and meeting rail is corrosion, and it causes stiff operation and eventual seal failure.
- Sagging Mr-Glass 2000 Series horizontal sliders. The friction stays wear out from repeated use. Homeowners find the window refusing to stay open or drooping at one corner. We replace the stay hardware rather than the whole unit when the track is still sound.
- Cracked caulking and corner seals on 1000 Series single hung units. Intense UV shrinks the sealant around the frame. Air and water find their way in around the frame. We strip the old caulk, re-bed the frame edges, and replace the weatherstrip.
- Bent or seized jalousie crank mechanisms. Enclosed Florida rooms throughout Palm Springs still have louvered Mr-Glass windows with cranks that bind up in humidity. We replace the crank gear and louver clips rather than tearing out the whole unit when the frame is salvageable.
- Shifted impact units with separated meeting rail interlocks. Mr-Glass impact windows installed without proper concrete block bucking in older Palm Springs openings shift over time. The interlock separates and the window loses its design pressure rating. We rebuild the opening and re-set the frame.
Mr-Glass Service in Palm Springs: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Palm Springs is one of the few Palm Beach County municipalities where every single-family home is a post-WWII CBS ranch, and the entire village was built before the Florida Building Code required windborne debris protection. That means Mr-Glass windows here are nearly always being replaced for code compliance, not cosmetic upgrade. We see it on 12th Avenue North, around Congress Avenue, and in the streets off Lake Worth Road: original aluminum frames that predate Hurricane Andrew, pitted at the sill, with seals that gave out years ago.
On 12th Avenue North near the old Palm Springs golf course, we removed four Mr-Glass 2000 Series horizontal sliders that had fused shut from frame corrosion and replaced them with code-compliant impact sliders, using pressure-treated bucks in the concrete block openings. The homeowners told us their insurance company had sent a cancellation notice over those windows. Our crew had the new units installed and passed inspection within two weeks.
Dale puts it this way: “If it is not right in the opening, it will not be right in ten years.” On these CBS ranch homes, that means getting the buck right before the frame goes in.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Palm Springs
We service the Mr-Glass 1000 Series Aluminum Single Hung, 2000 Series Aluminum Horizontal Slider, 3000 Series Impact Casement, and 4000 Series Vinyl Single Hung. For older pre-2000 Mr-Glass lines, we repair with OEM parts when available, and we use high-quality aftermarket glazing, weatherstrip, and hardware when OEM is discontinued.
For jalousie or severely corroded aluminum frames in Palm Springs, we honestly recommend full-frame replacement over patch repair. Retrofitting impact glass into pitted channels is a temporary fix that will not satisfy your insurer. We stock common Mr-Glass replacement hardware locally so Palm Springs turnaround times stay short on most repairs.
Mr-Glass Service Pricing in Palm Springs
Most Mr-Glass service in Palm Springs falls into three buckets. Hardware repair, like crank gears, stays, or rollers, typically runs $125 to $300 per window depending on the part. Full-frame impact replacement runs $850 to $1,600 per opening for a standard CBS ranch opening, including the buck and new interior trim. Insert window replacement, where the existing frame is sound, runs $550 to $950 per opening.
What drives your cost in Palm Springs is the condition of the concrete block opening. If the old frame was set directly in the block with no buck, we’re rebuilding that opening before we set anything. That’s labor, and it’s worth doing right. A free estimate from us includes a written line-item quote, side-by-side manufacturer options, and no change orders. Call (754) 339-0784 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Palm Springs
No, they are not. Jalousie louver windows do not meet Florida Building Code high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, and most Palm Springs insurers will flag them as uninsurable openings on renewal. We replace them with code-compliant impact-rated fixed or casement units, and we pull the permit so the inspection paperwork clears your carrier. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate on your Florida room.
In almost every case on a 1960s Palm Springs CBS ranch, you need full-frame replacement. The original Mr-Glass aluminum channels are pitted and too shallow to seat modern impact glazing properly, and no inspector will sign off on a retrofit into corroded frames. We will show you the frame condition when we quote.
The white powder is aluminum oxide, a corrosion byproduct from South Florida humidity and salt air meeting uncoated or worn frame metal. It builds at the sill and meeting rail, which is why your window gets harder to slide each season. On 1000 Series units we can often clean, re-bed, and replace the weatherstrip; on heavily pitted frames, replacement is the honest fix.
Yes, Mr-Glass sliding door rollers are replaceable. We remove the door panel, replace the rollers and the track cap, and clean the bottom channel. If the frame itself is corroded through, we will tell you before we touch the rollers. Most Palm Springs roller replacements run between $175 and $350 depending on door size.
Some do, and some do not. Early-2000s Mr-Glass impact units were tested to older wind load standards, and Palm Beach County now enforces the Florida Building Code’s current high-velocity hurricane zone provisions. We can check your existing units against current design pressure ratings for your specific opening, and if they fall short, we recommend full replacement.
