• Most PGT repair work is done in one visit.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

After more than four decades in South Florida window and door work, we’ve seen certain failure patterns show up again and again in PGT units. Here’s what actually happens, and what we do about it.

• PGT WinGuard series: seal failure at the roofline flashing. In older WinGuard single-hung and casement units set into Delray Beach rooflines, the factory sealant between the frame and the flashing dries out under constant UV and salt exposure. Rain creeps in, the homeowner sees a drip near the roofline, and assumes the roof itself is leaking. We strip the old sealant, inspect the rough opening for water damage, reset the unit with a marine-grade sealant, and then register the repair against the original warranty if it’s still active.
• PGT 5500 series slider: roller failure from blown sand. The 5500 slider line is common in Delray Beach homes along the Intracoastal. Fine sand and salt get into the lower track, grind the rollers down, and then the panel sits heavy and won’t lock at the roofline. The fix is usually a roller assembly replacement and a track cleaning, but we always check that the upper rail hasn’t sagged, because a sagging rail will speed up the next roller failure.
• PGT 400 series: hinge pin wear on top-hinged roof access units. Delray Beach houses with flat or low-slope roofs often have roof access hatches built from PGT 400-series components. The brass hinge pins wear after ten to fifteen years of opening and closing in humid conditions. We replace the hinge assembly with an OEM-spec part and rebalance the unit so it opens without dragging.
• PGT SideLite and transom units: condensation between panes. We hear about this most often from homeowners in Lake Ida and Tropic Isles who have PGT SideLite transoms above roofline windows. The argon or krypton fill leaks out of the spacer, and the interior of the glass fogs permanently. Replacing the insulated glass unit is the only honest fix, and we can source OEM PGT glass or a matching spec aftermarket unit with the same impact rating.
• PGT Eze-Breeze vertical roof panels: cracked panel corners. Roof-to-wall transitions with Eze-Breeze panels are prone to corner cracking when the frame shifts from thermal movement. The Delray Beach summer heat expands the aluminum more than most homeowners expect. We replace the panel and install a slightly larger expansion gap where the PGT specification allows it, which prevents the same crack from returning in a year.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Every PGT roof repair job follows the same steps, whether it’s a small seal replacement or a full glass unit swap.

1. 1
   You call and describe the symptom. A live person answers, asks about the unit’s age, series, and whether the leak is at the roofline or the glass. We’ve heard every description, so bring the details you have.
2. 2
   We inspect the unit and the surround. PGT roof leaks are sometimes not the window at all, but the flashing above it or a failed roofing seal nearby. We check before we quote, so you’re not paying for a repair that doesn’t fix the source.
3. 3
   We quote the fix on paper. The price covers the specific repair, the parts, the labor, and no hidden line items. If the unit is still under PGT warranty, we quote accordingly and note it in writing.
4. 4
   We do the repair. We use OEM PGT parts where the warranty demands it, and quality aftermarket parts where the OEM discontinued the line and the aftermarket matches the impact rating. You’ll know which before we start.
5. 5
   We test the work. We run the panel through its full travel, check the seal, and verify the roof-to-wall junction is draining properly. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   We register the warranty layers and leave the site clean. Both manufacturer warranty registrations are completed in writing before the truck pulls away, and the work area is swept down.

What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Delray Beach

Here are honest ranges for the most common PGT roof repair scenarios we see in Delray Beach.

If the frame is rotted through or the roof decking has water damage behind the unit, the repair cost climbs because we’re fixing the structure before we reset the window. That’s the honest way to do it. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate from a technician who has worked PGT units in Delray Beach for years.

We’ve been serving Delray Beach since 2008. Dale Kessler grew up in Lake Ida, learned glazing at Palm Beach State College’s Lake Worth campus, and started TruePane in 2008 because he kept seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties that could have been prevented. We’re an independent PGT service provider, which means we’re not under pressure to sell you a new unit when a repair would honestly hold. Every PGT repair is covered by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no fine print. And if your home has other impact-rated lines alongside your PGT, we’re familiar with those too: CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems.
