Mr-Glass Construction in Plantation, FL | Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale
We’re Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale, a Plantation General Contractor working throughout the city. We replace, repair, and renovate Mr-Glass windows and door systems in homes across the city, from 1960s CBS ranches to newer condos along University Drive. The reason our Mr-Glass work here looks different from other South Florida pages is simple: Plantation’s tree preservation ordinance changes how we stage equipment, and the city’s older block homes demand a direct-to-masonry anchoring approach that most crews skip. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass repair or replacement.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Luca Romano, our owner and lead contractor, learned structural work the hard way: reading plans at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then gutting and rebuilding homes alongside experienced framers. That background matters when a Mr-Glass frame meets 60-year-old concrete block and the anchors won’t hold. We know the Florida Building Code’s high-wind requirements for Broward County, and we’ve renovated hundreds of Mr-Glass openings across the area. As independent builders, never manufacturer-authorized, we solve real-world installation problems without pushing a single brand’s product line. That’s the difference: we fix what’s in front of us, not what a catalog tells us to sell.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Failed glazing seals on 1980s Mr-Glass aluminum frames. Plantation’s intense sun and humidity break down the sealant over time, leaving fog and mineral deposits between the panes. We replace the insulated glass units and reseal the frame, and if the corrosion has reached the corners, we tell you straight: replacement beats repair.
- Corroded or seized roller assemblies on Mr-Glass sliders. Daily summer downpours wash sand and grit into the tracks. In Plantation’s older ranch homes near Plantation Isles, we regularly pull sliders that haven’t rolled smoothly in years. New OEM rollers, cleaned tracks, and adjusted alignment bring them back.
- Water intrusion under sills during hurricane-season storms. Improper original flashing or missing weep-hole covers on Mr-Glass windows let water pool and find its way inside. We pull the sill, re-flash with proper tape, and re-set the window so water drains outward, not into the wall cavity.
- Loose or stripped mounting screws where Mr-Glass frames meet concrete block. Thermal expansion and repeated high-wind cycling work anchors loose over decades. In CBS homes, we drill and re-anchor with stainless fasteners sized for masonry, not wood framing.
- Cracked corner welds on original Mr-Glass aluminum sliders. We found one on a 1968 CBS ranch off NW 70th Avenue where a panel fell inward when we lifted it. Those old corner welds fatigue with age and wind load. If the frame is still square, we can repair; if not, we recommend a modern impact-rated Mr-Glass slider.
Mr-Glass Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Plantation’s citywide landscape and tree preservation ordinance requires permits and mitigation for removing or heavily pruning any tree over a certain size on private property. That doesn’t just affect landscaping; it affects window replacement. If a crane or dumpster has to sit within the dripline of a protected live oak, the city wants a permit and a mitigation plan. Sunrise and Davie have no such citywide restriction on private property. So on older Plantation lots where Mr-Glass windows need replacing, we routinely hand-carry old units to the street instead of staging a dumpster under the tree. It costs a little more in labor, usually less than the permit and mitigation fees, and it keeps the job moving without a city stop-work order. For Mr-Glass owners in neighborhoods like Plantation Isles or the streets around the Plantation Golf Course, this is the difference between a one-day window swap and a multi-week review.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We work on the full Mr-Glass residential and light commercial range: the Impact Series in aluminum and vinyl, Classic Single-Hung and Horizontal Slider windows, Patio and French door systems, and storefront or curtain wall systems in Plantation’s mid-rise condos. For parts, we use OEM Mr-Glass seals, rollers, and hardware whenever they’re available, because fit and performance matter. For discontinued lines, we source South Florida-approved aftermarket components that match or exceed the original Miami-Dade NOA ratings. That’s not a downgrade; it’s the right part for the job when the factory stopped making the original. See our broader Mr-Glass sales & service page for the full scope.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Plantation
Yes. We hand-carry the old jalousie units out and the new windows in, avoiding any crane or dumpster placement within the tree’s dripline. No tree permit triggers, no mitigation review, no city stop-work order. If the tree is tight against the house, we’ll flag it during the estimate so you know exactly what the city will and won’t require. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free site walk.
Daily South Florida rain washes fine sand and grit into the roller tracks, and Plantation’s condos near University Drive see the same cycle. The grit mixes with humidity, the rollers seize, and the door binds. We clean the tracks, replace the OEM rollers if they’re pitted or flattened, and adjust the threshold so water drains away from the rollers instead of pooling. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll get the door sliding right.
If the frame is still square and the glass is intact, we replace the failed insulated glass unit and reseal the frame. That’s usually the cheaper fix. But if corrosion has reached the corners of the aluminum frame, or the glass has started to delaminate, repair won’t hold, and we’ll recommend replacement with a modern impact system. In a CBS home, replacement also gives us the chance to re-anchor the frame directly to the block with stainless fasteners. Call (754) 354-7423 for an honest assessment.
Mr-Glass Impact Series windows carry Miami-Dade NOA ratings, which meet the high-wind requirements for Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The historic district review is separate from building code; it looks at window style, sightlines, and material compatibility with the original ranch-era design. We’ve helped homeowners submit for that review, and we can tell you before you buy whether a given Mr-Glass line will pass. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll review the specifics of your house.
If the fog is between the panes of glass, it’s a failed seal, and cleaning won’t fix it. If the haze wipes off both sides with a cloth, it’s surface grime and the window is fine. A failed seal shows up as persistent interior fog or wavy mineral deposits you can’t reach. We can tell you in two minutes during an estimate. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll check every window on the house.
