Mr-Glass Construction in Hollywood, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Mr-Glass service and installation across Hollywood, from the 1920s concrete homes in Hollywood Lakes to beachfront condos along the Intracoastal. The biggest difference you’ll notice with us: we know how Mr-Glass products age in salt air and humidity, so we can tell you honestly when a unit is worth repairing and when Miami-Dade code says it’s time to replace it. Call (754) 551-2922 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Trevor Nash learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before running crews across South Florida for the better part of two decades. He’s seen what Hollywood’s coastal climate does to window frames, tracks, and seals, and he trains every technician to spot the early signs before a small problem becomes a full replacement. We’re not a manufacturer call center. We’re a local Hollywood General Contractor that’s been inside hundreds of Hollywood homes, and we treat Mr-Glass equipment the way a mechanic treats a car: fix what’s fixable, replace what’s not, and always explain the difference in plain language.
When you call us, you’ll talk to a person, not a voicemail maze. We show up in a defined arrival window, our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every job comes with a written price up front. That’s the Kingswell Way, the standard we’ve operated under since 2004. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and make it right at no charge. That promise is in writing on every project.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
Here’s what we see most often in Hollywood, and why the local climate tends to make each one worse:
- Fogged double-pane units from seal failure. Hollywood’s humidity and heat push moisture into the air space between panes once the perimeter seal lets go. You’ll see condensation or a milky haze that never dries. The fix is usually a reseal or a new insulated glass unit, not a full window replacement.
- Corroded aluminum frames near the coast. Salt air east of Federal Highway eats powder coating on older Mr-Glass aluminum frames, especially on oceanfront and Intracoastal buildings. We see pitting and white oxidation at the corners and along the sill. If the frame is still structurally sound, we can often repair and refinish it. If it’s flaking through, replacement is the better call.
- Warped vinyl tracks on sliding patio doors. Hollywood’s western exposures get brutal afternoon sun. Unshaded tracks on older Mr-Glass sliding doors warp or bow over time, and the door starts sticking or dragging. Sometimes new rollers and track re-alignment solve it. If the track is too far gone, we’ll quote you a new Mr-Glass 2-panel slider.
- Delaminated impact glass after repeated hurricane cycles. Laminated impact-rated glass can start to separate at the edges after years of pressure cycling from tropical storms. It looks like clouding or a milky ring around the perimeter. That’s a safety concern and a code issue. We recommend replacement when delamination appears, because the glass is no longer doing what Miami-Dade approved it to do.
- Out-of-square rough openings in older Hollywood homes. Concrete block houses from the 1950s and 60s settle over time. A Mr-Glass insert window that should drop in cleanly ends up needing extra shims, and the trim reveals the discrepancy if you’re not careful. We expect this in Hollywood’s older neighborhoods and plan for it on every job.
Mr-Glass Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Hollywood Lakes, many 1920s-era concrete homes still have their original wood-frame window openings, and those openings are rarely square anymore. We regularly measure rough openings that are out by half an inch or more from corner to corner. A direct Mr-Glass insert window won’t sit flush in that condition without extra shimming and additional brickmold trim work. A crew from Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines might not anticipate that, but we do, because we’ve done enough of these homes to know what the framing looks like behind the drywall. If the home is in a designated historic district, exterior changes have to go through Hollywood’s historic preservation board before we can touch the opening. We’ll flag that for you on the first visit, before you spend money on permits or materials.
We also see how salt air and humidity work together on Mr-Glass hardware. In Hollywood Lakes, our tech pulled an original 1969 Mr-Glass sliding patio door with a corroded aluminum frame and a shattered outer pane. The rough opening had settled 5/8 inch out of square over five decades. We squared it with pressure-treated shims, installed a Mr-Glass StormGuard impact-rated 2-panel door, and flashed it to Miami-Dade code before the next hurricane watch. The homeowner could finally slide the door open without a deadlift. That’s what local experience buys you: we plan for the conditions Hollywood actually has, not the ones a textbook assumes.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work on the full Mr-Glass product range. That includes the Classic Vinyl Series in single- and double-pane, the StormGuard Hurricane-Rated Series for impact protection, the 2-panel and 3-panel Sliding Patio Door Line, and Commercial Storefront Framing for Hollywood’s smaller retail and office spaces. When parts are still available from Mr-Glass, we use OEM. When a vinyl frame from the 1990s or early 2000s has been discontinued, we source aftermarket sashes and glazing that match the original profile, which saves the frame if it’s still sound. We only recommend full replacement when the frame is twisted, the glass is delaminated, or the unit can’t be brought up to Miami-Dade wind-load requirements.
We also handle the bigger jobs that often accompany Mr-Glass service on Hollywood homes: Mr-Glass sales & service conversations often turn into impact window installation, full window replacement, and in some cases roof replacement once we see the full extent of storm damage or aging infrastructure.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Hollywood
Here’s what Mr-Glass work typically costs in the Hollywood market, labor and materials included:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Mr-Glass window replacement (aluminum frame) | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact window installation (Mr-Glass StormGuard series, per opening) | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Mr-Glass sliding patio door replacement (2-panel with impact glass) | $5,000 – $14,000 |
| Reseal Mr-Glass double-pane unit (parts + labor) | $250 – $700 |
What drives the number? The size of the opening, whether you need impact-rated glass, the condition of the existing frame, and whether the home is in a historic district that requires additional review. A straight window replacement in a 1980s condo will land on the lower end. A sliding door replacement in a Hollywood Lakes historic home with out-of-square framing will climb, especially if you’re considering Bathroom Remodeling in Hollywood at the same time. You’ll get a written line-item price before we start, and that number doesn’t change once the walls are open. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Hollywood
Yes, in most cases we can. We remove the interior stops carefully, pull the sash, and work from the inside so the exterior wood trim stays intact. If the opening is significantly out of square, we may need to adjust the existing trim slightly, but we’ll tell you exactly what’s required before we touch anything. Call (754) 551-2922 for an assessment.
Mr-Glass StormGuard Hurricane-Rated windows are designed to meet Miami-Dade wind-load requirements when installed correctly. The key word is correctly. Oceanfront and Intracoastal buildings in Hollywood have the strictest exposure ratings, and the installation flashing and anchoring matter as much as the glass. We install to code and pull permits on every job. If your condo association requires specific engineering letters, we’ll work through that with them.
That’s thermal expansion. The vinyl track and frame heat up in Hollywood’s summer sun, especially on west-facing exposures, and the material swells enough to bind against the rollers. It’s a common issue with older Mr-Glass sliders. We can usually re-align the track, replace worn rollers, and adjust the strike plate to give the door more clearance. If the track has warped permanently, a new 2-panel Mr-Glass slider is the better fix.
Yes. That green tint is standard low-iron float glass from that era, and it’s still available through our glazing suppliers. We’ll bring tint samples to your unit and match the replacement pane to the existing sashes so the window doesn’t look patched. Exact matching is one of those details that separates our work from a generic glass installer.
We do, and we’re familiar with the process. Many Hollywood high-rise associations require the contractor to carry specific insurance, submit installation drawings for engineering review, and schedule work during approved hours. We’ll handle the paperwork and coordinate with your building management so the job doesn’t stall in committee. Every project gets a written price and a written guarantee, even when the association adds a few extra steps.
