Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Mr-Glass Construction
We’re an independent Mr Glass in Fort Lauderdale construction service provider, and yes, we repair and install every major Mr-Glass shower enclosure line. What sets our crew apart is simple: we’ve spent years working around Mr-Glass enclosures during full-gut renovations across this city, so we know exactly how Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, hard water, and humidity attack the hardware and seals. Luca Romano, Owner and Lead Contractor at Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale, has personally diagnosed Mr-Glass failures in beachfront condos and 1950s concrete-block ranches alike. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass repair or install.
We’re not an authorized Mr-Glass dealer or warranty center. We’re independent. That means we call it like we see it: sometimes a $200 roller replacement fixes the problem, and sometimes the enclosure is too far gone. You’ll always get the honest answer.
Why Trust Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale for Your Mr-Glass Construction?
Our crews have pulled apart more Mr-Glass enclosures in Fort Lauderdale than most General Contractor teams install in a year. That matters because Mr-Glass hardware is precise. Roller clearances, hinge tolerances, seal compression: get any of it slightly wrong and the door binds, leaks, or pulls itself out of the wall. Luca trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College reading structural plans before he ever touched a shower door, and that foundation shows in how our technicians approach every Mr-Glass job. We measure. We check for backing behind the tile. We verify the glass is square before we touch a single screw.
When you book Mr-Glass service with us, you get a written price before any work starts. No surprises at the invoice. Every tech is background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know exactly who’s walking through your door before they arrive. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every Mr-Glass repair in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s how we’ve operated since 2005.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale
- Corroded ball-bearing rollers on Mr-Glass Sliding Shower Door series. Salt-laden air within a couple miles of the Intracoastal eats these rollers fast. We regularly replace seized roller assemblies on Mr-Glass sliding doors that are under five years old. The bearings rust, the nylon wheels chip, and the door starts grinding instead of gliding. We replace the full roller assembly with genuine Mr-Glass hardware, not a universal kit that sort of fits.
- Hard water etching on Mr-Glass frameless panels. Fort Lauderdale’s water comes from a limestone aquifer, and that means mineral-heavy water that leaves scale deposits on glass. Left untreated, those deposits chemically etch the surface and permanently cloud the panel. We see this constantly in coastal condos and older homes without water softeners. Early intervention with the right cleaning and sealant can save the glass; late-stage etching means replacement.
- Leaking bottom sweeps and side seals on Mr-Glass Frameless Sliding doors. When a Mr-Glass door is even slightly out of alignment, the bottom sweep and side seals stop channeling water properly. Puddles pool outside the shower every morning, and over time that water wicks into drywall and wood baseboards. We realign the door, replace worn sweeps with genuine Mr-Glass parts, and re-bed the channels so the seal actually holds.
- Loose hinges on Mr-Glass Pivot Shower Door series. We’ve opened walls in Fort Lauderdale homes and found Mr-Glass pivot hinges anchored into nothing but tile and drywall, with no proper backing behind them. The result: cracked tiles, sagging door panels, and hinges that pull loose within a few years. Fixing this properly means opening the wall, adding solid blocking, and remounting the hinge. It’s more work, but it’s the only repair that lasts.
- Out-of-square Mr-Glass Neo-Angle enclosures in older builds. Tight older bathrooms near Las Olas Boulevard and Galt Ocean Mile frequently have walls that aren’t square. A Mr-Glass neo-angle enclosure installed without accounting for that will bind at the corners and leak. We shim, adjust, and re-bed these enclosures so the glass sits true. It’s the kind of problem-solving a template install never handles.
Mr-Glass Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use genuine Mr-Glass hardware whenever it’s available, especially rollers, hinges, and seals. The tolerances on Mr-Glass enclosures are tight, and aftermarket copies often fail within a year, which means you’re paying twice. For glass panels, we source locally fabricated 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered glass that meets Florida building code and matches the original Mr-Glass dimensions. We stock common Mr-Glass rollers, sweeps, and seals in our local inventory, which means faster turnaround on most repairs without waiting on a distributor.
We only recommend full enclosure replacement when the glass itself is etched beyond recovery or delaminating, or when the frame is so corroded that new hardware can’t mount securely. If the glass is sound and the frame is solid, we repair. It’s cheaper for you, and it’s the honest call. Call (754) 354-7423 if you’re not sure which category your Mr-Glass enclosure falls into. We’ll tell you straight.
Our Mr-Glass Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. A technician arrives, inspects your Mr-Glass enclosure, and identifies the exact failure. Is it the rollers, the seals, the alignment, or the glass itself? You get a written diagnosis and a set price before any work is approved.
- 2
Repair or installation. We replace worn hardware with genuine Mr-Glass parts where possible, re-seat channels with marine-grade sealant, and adjust the door until it operates smoothly. For new installations, we verify wall backing, squareness, and waterproofing before the glass goes in.
- 3
Testing. We run water across the enclosure to confirm the seals hold. A Mr-Glass door that leaks on the test bench gets adjusted until it stops. We don’t leave until the water stays where it belongs.
- 4
Warranty. Every Mr-Glass repair and install is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a year, we come back and fix it. That’s in writing.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
No. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not an authorized dealer or warranty center. What that means for you: we recommend repairs based on what your enclosure actually needs, not what a manufacturer program tells us to sell. We use genuine Mr-Glass parts whenever they’re available because they fit correctly and last longer than generic copies. Call (754) 354-7423 to schedule a diagnosis.
Yes, and this is one of the most common Mr-Glass repairs we do in Fort Lauderdale. We remove the door, extract the corroded roller assemblies, and replace them with genuine Mr-Glass rollers. We also clean and re-lubricate the track, and check the bottom sweep and side seals while the door is off. Most roller replacements run $400 to $1,800 depending on how many rollers and whether the track itself needs replacement. Call (754) 354-7423 for an exact quote.
Not always. If the etching is caught early, before the mineral deposits have chemically bonded to the glass surface, professional restoration can often clear it. If the clouding is deep and permanent, replacement is the honest answer. We’ll assess the glass in person and tell you which path makes sense. A new locally fabricated panel costs far less than a full enclosure, and we can typically match the original Mr-Glass dimensions and edge profile. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free estimate.
We open the wall and fix the root cause. In most Fort Lauderdale homes, the original hinge was mounted over tile with no solid backing behind it, and eventually the tile cracks and the screws pull out. We remove the damaged tile, install proper blocking behind the mounting point, re-tile, and remount the hinge. It’s more involved than a surface patch, but it’s the only repair that won’t fail again in two years. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll schedule a look.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our core services, and Mr-Glass enclosures are a frequent choice for the new shower. We handle the full scope: demo the tub, install a proper shower pan, waterproof the surround, and install the Mr-Glass enclosure. Depending on the size and finishes, a tub-to-shower conversion with a new Mr-Glass enclosure typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Fort Lauderdale. Call (754) 354-7423 for a detailed line-item quote.
The seals may look fine, but if the door is even slightly out of alignment, the bottom sweep isn’t compressing the way it should, and water escapes underneath. The cause is usually worn rollers or a track that’s shifted over time. We realign the door, replace the rollers and sweep with genuine Mr-Glass parts, and test with live water before we call the job done. Call (754) 354-7423 to book a diagnosis.
