We provide Window Replacement in Coral Gables, including full-frame replacement and HVHZ permitting on historic homes.

Why Coral Gables Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service

We have measured, ordered, and installed Mr-Glass products in Coral Gables long enough to know that a Series 6000 double hung in white vinyl will pass HVHZ but fail historic review on a George Merrick-era home off Granada Boulevard. Our crews carry OEM-compatible Mr-Glass hardware, replacement impact glass units, and coastal-grade sealants specified for salt-laden air. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews.

Sonia Raman, our owner, grew up in Miami and learned the trade at Miami Dade College’s Building Construction Technology program. She has been measuring and installing windows and doors for over two decades. Her crew has worked jobs throughout the area, including full-frame replacements in the Banyan Drive corridor in nearby Pinecrest, and she can tell you which Coral Gables homes still carry original single-pane aluminum from the seventies. She reads shop drawings the way most people read menus: fast, and with an opinion. That is why our quotes are flat-rate and our invoices match them. Measure twice. Quote once. No surprises at the invoice.

We are not a manufacturer-authorized agent. We work directly for homeowners. Our Mr-Glass sales & service covers every model line still supported by available parts, and we document every visit with a photo record you receive at completion - Haven Clause 4, Evidence on every job.

Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Coral Gables

• Salt corrosion on bay-facing frames. Coral Gables sits within a mile of Biscayne Bay in many neighborhoods, and that persistent salt-laden air accelerates pitting on exposed Mr-Glass aluminum frames, hinges, and sill pans. Pre-2010 frames with original anodized finishes are especially vulnerable where dissimilar-metal contact occurs at the hardware. We replace corroded units with coastal-grade finished frames and proper isolation at metal-to-metal joints.
• Impact glazing seal failure after 15+ years. Original Mr-Glass impact glazing from the early HVHZ era shows interlayer edge clouding and seal failure after prolonged heat cycling. This is far more visible on the large fixed panes common to Mediterranean Revival elevations in Coral Gables, where single large lites replaced grouped casements. We replace the IGU with a new impact unit matched to the existing extrusion, or recommend full-frame replacement if the frame itself is compromised.
• Flat rollers on horizontal sliders. Mr-Glass Series 7000 horizontal rollers and 3-lite sliders often carry load unevenly because the original single-pane steel windows they replaced left sub-sills that were never leveled. The rollers flatten within two to four seasons. In Coral Gables, where many homes have settled oolitic limestone sills, this happens faster. We stock genuine Mr-Glass replacement rollers and tracks, but often the honest answer is a full-frame tear-out with a new level buck.
• Finish failure at frame corners. Anodized and painted finishes on older Mr-Glass frames fail where coral-rock anchoring meets the buck, creating a capillary path for wind-driven rain. The result is staining on keystone walls that cannot be pressure-washed out. We see this on homes north of Coral Way and east of Le Jeune Road, where the original 1990s replacements are now due for their second cycle.
• Hardware corrosion on impact entry doors. Mr-Glass impact entry and French door systems use stainless hardware that still corrodes in salt air when the protective coating is compromised at hinge mortises. We replace with marine-grade hardware and re-bed the frame with coastal sealant, or specify a full replacement if the door slab has delaminated.

Mr-Glass Service in Coral Gables: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

In Coral Gables, a window or door permit on any contributing historic structure is not issued until the city’s Building and Zoning Department has cross-referenced a separate Historic Preservation Board approval. Even the anodized frame color is subject to board revision. That extra review step adds weeks to Mr-Glass jobs that would close in days one zip code away in unincorporated Miami-Dade.

This matters if you own a Mr-Glass unit from the 1990s or early 2000s. The frame profile may still function, but if the finish is chalking or the glazing is fogging, repair is rarely worth the permit delay. Full-frame replacement lets us specify a current Mr-Glass profile with a current NOA, submit shop drawings that match the original Mediterranean Revival sightlines, and clear both boards in one cycle. On a Merrick-era Mediterranean Revival home off Alhambra Circle, our crew tore out original single-pane steel casements and installed our Impact Windows & Doors in Coral Gables into oolitic limestone walls using lead-shielded anchors and a coastal-grade sealant, matching the original profile so the Historic Preservation Board would sign off on the first submittal. We also replaced three corroded Mr-Glass fixed units on the bay-facing elevation, where salt air had eaten through the original frame finish, and the homeowner passed final inspection without a single board revision.

Our Coral Gables service area coverage includes every district where this dual-approval process applies. We pull permits, submit to the Historic Preservation Board, and schedule inspections as part of the written scope - not as add-ons.

Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Coral Gables

We service the full current and recent-generation Mr-Glass line:

• Series 6000 Impact Single Hung and Double Hung Windows - the workhorse for replacement of original steel casements in Coral Gables historic homes; we stock OEM sash balances, tilt latches, and replacement impact glass units.
• Series 7000 Impact Horizontal Roller and 3-Lite Sliding Windows - common on 1990s-2000s additions; roller and track wear is the typical failure, and we carry genuine replacement roller assemblies where the extrusion is still supported.
• Impact Casement and Awning Series - preferred by the Historic Preservation Board for Mediterranean Revival profiles; we match the original sightline and specify proper hardware finish.
• Impact Entry and French Door Systems - full-frame replacement into coral-rock walls requires lead-shielded anchors and extended jamb depths; we measure and order to the wall, not to the old frame.

For discontinued Mr-Glass lines, we use quality aftermarket hardware only where the extrusion profile cannot be sourced. When full-frame replacement is the honest answer - as it often is in Coral Gables, where pulling the frame is already required for HVHZ re-nailing and historic compliance - we quote it upfront with a written price before any work starts.
