Mr-Glass Construction in Orlovista, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Orlando
As an Orlovista General Contractor, we provide independent Mr-Glass service across this community, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is simple: we know what decades of Florida humidity, hurricane cycles, and tenant turnover do to original Mr-Glass windows and sliders in 1950s-to-1970s concrete block homes. We’re not a manufacturer-affiliated shop, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is the crew Orlovista landlords and homeowners call when a Mr-Glass Series 7000 window fogs up or a Series 8000 slider jumps its track. Call (850) 920-7745 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Orlovista Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most Mr-Glass units still doing their job in Orlovista were installed when these homes were built, sometime between the Eisenhower years and the Carter administration. We’ve spent over a decade rebuilding those installations across this unincorporated pocket of Orange County, and it gives us a working knowledge no parts catalog can match. Isaac Pruett learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has been applying those old-school habits, measure twice, cut once, show up when you say you will, to Orlando-area homes for years. His crews know how original Mr-Glass framing, glazing beads, and hardware behave after thirty or forty summers of Orlovista thunderstorms.
We carry OEM Mr-Glass sashes, tracks, and hardware when we can get them. When we can’t, we’re honest about the better call. That’s the difference between a service crew that knows this brand and one that’s just guessing. Learn more about all our Mr-Glass sales & service work and what we cover.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Orlovista
- Fogged thermal seals in Mr-Glass Series 7000 single-hung windows. Orlovista’s humidity sits high all year, and summer downpours push moisture into failing seals fast. Once the seal between panes goes, the glass fogs permanently. We replace the insulated glazing unit, restore the sash, and bring the window back to clear.
- Bent or corroded tracks on Mr-Glass Series 8000 sliding glass doors. These are everywhere in flood-prone concrete block homes. When water pools at the threshold or finds its way under the track, the aluminum pits and the rollers grind. Doors stick, jump, or refuse to slide. We straighten, replace, or upgrade tracks and rollers so the door works like it should.
- Worn weatherstripping and cracked glazing beads on Mr-Glass casement windows. Afternoon thunderstorms in central Florida drive wind and rain sideways. When the weatherstripping on a Series 6000 casement window gives out, water slips right through. We replace the seals and beads before the next storm cycle finds the weak spot.
- Stripped or misaligned locking hardware on Mr-Glass fixed and sliding units. Orlovista has a lot of rental conversions, and tenants force windows open when latches grow stiff. Hinges bend, lock rails strip, and the window never closes tight again. We realign and replace hardware so the lock actually locks.
- Out-of-square frames in aging CMU walls. Concrete block homes settle. Original Mr-Glass frames that were square in 1965 often aren’t anymore. We custom-shim and reseal frames to close gaps that let air, water, and bugs through.
We serve the entire Orlovista service area, from older duplexes near Clarcona Ocoee Road to single-family homes on the neighborhood’s interior streets.
Mr-Glass Service in Orlovista: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Orlovista’s unincorporated status changes how window work gets done here. In Pine Hills or Ocoee, you might run into HOA boards or historical-district rules that dictate what you can and can’t install. Orlovista doesn’t work that way. What it does have is a lot of original Mr-Glass windows set into concrete block walls that have moved over five or six decades. That means we’re often retrofitting new units into openings that aren’t square, aren’t plumb, and weren’t flashed correctly the first time. Custom shimming and careful sealing matter more in these CMU homes than anywhere else we work. Our tech arrived at a 1962 duplex off Clarcona Ocoee Road where two Mr-Glass Series 7000 single-hung windows had fogged seals and corroded tracks from years of tenant humidity. We pulled the sashes, replaced the insulated glazing units and weatherstripping, and shimmed the frames back to square before the afternoon storm line hit. The landlord avoided a full frame replacement and got both units rent-ready the same week.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Orlovista
Our crews service Mr-Glass Series 8000 sliding glass doors, Series 7000 single-hung windows, Series 9000 fixed picture windows, and Series 6000 casement windows. For newer units, we source OEM sashes, tracks, and hardware whenever they’re available. For older Series 6000 and 7000 windows in Orlovista rental homes, we often recommend quality aftermarket glazing and weatherstripping that hold up better under hurricane cycles than the original parts did. We keep common seals, rollers, and hardware stocked locally so turnaround doesn’t depend on a freight truck from out of state.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Orlovista
Can you replace just the fogged glass in my Mr-Glass Series 7000 window, or do I need a whole new window in Orlovista? Yes, in most cases we can replace just the insulated glazing unit inside the existing sash. If the frame is rotted, cracked, or badly out of square, a full window replacement makes more sense, but fogged glass alone rarely requires it. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll tell you which route fits your situation.
Are Mr-Glass Series 8000 sliding doors worth repairing after flooding, or should I upgrade to impact-rated? It depends on the frame. If the aluminum track is pitted but the frame is solid, we can replace the track and rollers and get the door working again. If floodwater sat long enough to corrode the frame itself, you’re better off putting that repair money toward an impact-rated replacement. Call (850) 920-7745 for an honest assessment.
How do you handle Mr-Glass windows in Orlovista homes with out-of-square concrete block openings? We custom-shim the frame to square, re-flash around the opening, and seal against what the wall is actually doing, not what the original builder assumed. Concrete block settles, and Orlovista’s older homes have had sixty years to prove it.
Do you stock Mr-Glass weatherstripping and hardware for older Series 6000 casement windows in Orlovista? Yes, we keep common weatherstripping, glazing beads, rollers, and locking hardware on hand for Series 6000 casement windows. For discontinued parts we can’t source as OEM, we use aftermarket replacements that match or exceed original specs.
Can you upgrade my original Mr-Glass windows to impact-rated without replacing the entire frame in my Orlovista rental? Sometimes. If the existing Mr-Glass frame is sound and square, we can often install impact-rated glazing into it. If the frame is compromised or the opening has shifted, a full-frame replacement is the better investment. Call (850) 920-7745 for an estimate, it’s free.
