Why Riverside Homeowners Choose Mr-Glass Construction
We’re an independent Mr Glass in Riverside remodeling firm that services skylights, windows, and sunrooms, and we handle everything from framing retrofits to flashing and moisture remediation on these units every week. If you own a Mr-Glass product in Riverside and it’s leaking, fogged, binding, or corroding, call us at (341) 895-1170 and we’ll give you a written diagnosis and a written price before we pick up a tool. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Mr-Glass. We’re a local contractor that knows their installation quirks and leak patterns from years of hands-on repair work across Riverside’s neighborhoods, from the Wood Streets to the newer tracts on the east side.
Why Trust Penhallow Remodeling Riverside for Your Mr-Glass Construction?
Most of the Mr-Glass failures we see in Riverside share a common thread: the product was never the weak point. The flashing, the sealant, or the framing around it was. A deck-mounted skylight that leaks at the saddle flashing isn’t usually a glass failure. It’s what happens when Riverside’s hot days and cool nights cycle the metal flashing through decades’ worth of expansion and contraction in a few short years. We’ve rebuilt enough of these to know exactly where water gets in and how to keep it out. Trevor Nash, the owner here at Penhallow Remodeling Riverside, learned early in his career at LA Trade-Tech that a good remodel starts with knowing what you’re getting into before you swing a hammer. That’s why we open up the curb, check the underlayment, and show you what we found before we quote a repair. No mystery pricing. No surprises after demo.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Fix in Riverside
- Deck-mounted skylight leaking at the saddle flashing. This is the most common Mr-Glass failure we repair throughout Riverside. The saddle flashing at the top of the skylight takes the brunt of our diurnal temperature swings, which can exceed 40 degrees between afternoon highs and overnight lows. Over time, the metal fatigues and tears, and water follows the seam straight into the ceiling below.
- Curb-mounted skylight condensation between glass panes. When the edge seal on a double-glazed Mr-Glass unit fails, moisture gets trapped between the panes and the glass fogs permanently. We see this on older curb-mounted units across Riverside, especially on homes where attic ventilation is marginal and summer attic temperatures climb well past 120°F.
- Sunroom aluminum frames corroding at weep holes. Riverside sprinkler systems are notorious for overspray hitting sunroom frames. When hard water sits in the weep holes, the aluminum starts to pit and corrode. Left alone, that corrosion spreads and eventually the weep holes stop draining. Then water pools inside the frame and finds its way into the wall.
- Operable window cranks binding or breaking. Santa Ana winds push dust and grit into the gear tracks of Mr-Glass operable windows. A few seasons of that and the crank mechanisms start binding. Homeowners keep forcing the handle until the gear teeth strip. We clean the tracks, replace the operator, and set the sash so it seats properly.
- Flashing failures around sunroom roof transitions. Where a Mr-Glass sunroom roof meets the house wall, the transition flashing is a frequent leak point. Riverside’s intense UV exposure breaks down sealant faster than manufacturers estimate, and once the sealant shrinks and cracks, wind-driven rain from Santa Ana events pushes straight under the flashing.
Mr-Glass Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We order genuine Mr Glass service in Ontario glazing and hardware when our supply houses have it in stock, and we don’t mark it up more than we have to. When OEM parts aren’t readily available, we use code-compliant aftermarket alternatives from established manufacturers like Cardinal and Oldcastle for insulated glass units, plus heavy-gauge flashings and sealants that meet or exceed the original specification. A lot of Riverside homeowners ask us to just re-seal a fogged skylight. We’ll tell you plainly: once the edge seal fails and moisture is between the panes, re-sealing the exterior won’t fix it. You’re better off replacing the glazing unit once than paying for repeated service calls that don’t solve the problem. Call (341) 895-1170 and we’ll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
Our Mr-Glass Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the entire Mr-Glass unit, not just the spot where you see water. That means checking the saddle flashing, the curb, the sealant lines, and the interior drywall. We document what we find and show you photos before we quote anything.
- 2
Written Estimate. You get a written price before any work starts. Not a range, not a ballpark. The number we write down is the number you’ll see on the invoice.
- 3
Repair or Replacement. If we’re re-flashing a Mr-Glass skylight, we pull the old flashing, rebuild the curb if needed, install new copper or galvanized flashing, and set the glazing unit properly. If we’re replacing glass, we order the IGU to the exact dimensions and install it with the correct gaskets and sealants for Riverside’s climate.
- 4
Test and Verify. We water-test every repair before we call it done. If we’re replacing a window, we cycle it open and closed a dozen times to confirm the operator and sash are working smoothly.
- 5
Written Warranty. Every job gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That includes a free second visit if a repair doesn’t hold.

AfterMr-Glass Products We Service & Install in Riverside
We service and install the full range of Anaheim Mr Glass service products found in Riverside homes: deck-mounted skylights, curb-mounted skylights, sunroom and solarium glazing panels, and custom fixed and operable window units. We keep common glazing tapes, sealants, and flashing materials on our trucks so we can start most repairs the same day we diagnose them. For full unit replacements, we order to spec and schedule the install once the glass arrives.
We Also Service These Brands
General Contractor services aren’t limited to Mr-Glass. We install and service products from KraftMaid, Cambria, Silestone, and Kohler, among others. Our experience across multiple manufacturers means we’re not locked into one brand’s parts or one manufacturer’s installation method. We recommend what works for your Riverside home, not what’s easiest for us to order.
FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction Service in Riverside
Riverside’s temperature swings cause the saddle flashing to expand and contract daily, and over a few years the metal fatigues and tears at the folded seams. Once the flashing tears, water runs straight into the roof deck. The fix is removing the old flashing, rebuilding the curb if it’s soft, and installing new flashing that can handle Riverside’s thermal cycling. Call (341) 895-1170 for an exact quote on your skylight.
You can usually replace just the insulated glass unit in a Mr-Glass sunroom panel if the aluminum frame is still square and the weep holes drain properly. If the frame is corroded or warped, replacing the glass alone won’t solve the problem. We’ll tell you which route makes sense after we inspect the frame. Estimates are free.
Failed edge seals. The sealant around the perimeter of the insulated glass unit degrades from heat and UV exposure, especially in Riverside’s summer attic temperatures. Once the seal fails, moisture gets in and the glass fogs permanently. Replacing the glazing unit is the only lasting fix. Call us for a written quote on a new IGU.
We use genuine Mr-Glass parts when they’re available through our supply chain. When they’re not, we use code-compliant aftermarket flashings and sealants from established manufacturers like Cardinal and Oldcastle. The aftermarket materials we use meet or exceed the original specification, and we warranty the work the same either way.
Yes, in most cases. The biggest factor is the condition of the existing frame and glazing. If the aluminum frame is sound, we can replace the panels with high-performance insulated glass and add proper weather sealing to make the room comfortable year-round. If the frame is compromised, a full replacement may be more cost-effective. Call (341) 895-1170 for a free assessment.
