How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds good products. But Delray Beach is a brutal testing ground, and we see the same failure modes repeat across neighborhoods from Lake Ida to Tropic Isle. Here’s what actually goes wrong, and what we do about it.
- PGT WinGuard roof-to-wall flashing separation. The WinGuard series is common in Delray Beach homes built after 2002, and the flashing where the roof deck meets the exterior wall is its most consistent weak point. Years of heat-driven expansion and contraction pull the flashing away from the wall, and water finds the gap. We see it regularly in the older sections of Lake Ida where roof pitches are lower and water sits longer. Our fix: remove the failed flashing, inspect the sheathing beneath, replace with code-spec flashing, and reseal with a marine-grade sealant rated for South Florida UV exposure.
- PGT shingle underlayment rot at the eave line. On PGT shingle roof systems, the first three feet of underlayment at the eave takes the most punishment from wind-driven rain. We’ve opened up roofs in Delray Beach where the shingles looked fine from the ground but the underlayment underneath was spongy and black. The cause is nearly always inadequate drip edge or a previous repair that skipped the peel-and-stick membrane. We cut out the rot, replace the underlayment, and run the membrane past code minimum because Delray Beach gets sideways rain that building code language doesn’t fully account for.
- PGT tile roof cracked barrel tiles from foot traffic. PGT tile systems use concrete and clay barrel tiles that crack when a previous contractor walked the roof without proper distribution boards. We see this on older Delray Beach homes where roof vents, satellite dishes, or solar panels were installed after the original tile. The damage shows up as hairline cracks that leak slowly over months. We replace the cracked tiles with matching profile, and when we need to walk a PGT tile roof, we use foam distribution pads and follow the manufacturer’s load path. If tile availability is an issue, we source reclaimed tile from South Florida salvage yards to match the existing fade.
- PGT metal roof fastener back-out on standing seam panels. PGT metal roof systems, especially the standing seam profiles installed on mid-century Delray Beach ranch homes, suffer from fastener back-out due to thermal cycling. The expansion and contraction of the metal panels gradually works screws loose, and once a fastener backs out on a windward face, wind gets under the seam and starts lifting. The fix is not just tightening the screw, it’s replacing it with a larger-diameter fastener with a sealing washer rated for the panel thickness, then checking the entire seam run for further movement.
- PGT roof-to-glass transition failures around skylights and roof windows. Where PGT roofing meets PGT glass, the transition is the weak link. The curb-mounted flashing around PGT roof windows and skylights fails in the Delray Beach sun after about ten to fifteen years, curling and cracking until water runs down the inside of the frame. We remove the old curb flashing, inspect the frame for rot, install new flashing with a double-layer sealant detail, and test with a water spray before we call it done.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every PGT job we take in Delray Beach follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no skipped steps. Here’s what happens when you call us.
- 1
The call. A live person answers, every time, 24/7. We ask what you’re seeing, where the water is going, and how long it’s been happening. If it’s an active leak, we’ll tell you what to do right then to minimize damage.
- 2
The inspection. A background-checked, uniformed tech arrives on schedule. We inspect the PGT roof system, the flashings, the underlayment, and the transitions around windows and doors. We measure everything twice before we quote a single number.
- 3
The written quote. You get a line-item quote on paper. If we recommend OEM PGT parts, we say so and explain why. If aftermarket is the better call, we say that too, and we write down exactly which parts we’re using. If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee - it is a conversation.
- 4
The repair. Most PGT shingle, tile and metal roofing jobs are completed in one visit. We bring the parts, the sealants, the flashing, and the tools for the job. No running back and forth to a supply house.
- 5
The test and the walkthrough. We water-test the repair, inspect the surrounding area, and walk you through what we did and why. You see the work and the parts before we leave.
- 6
The paperwork. Both warranty layers - manufacturer and our Done Right Promise - are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. No arguing later, no finding out the warranty was never filed.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Delray Beach
Here are honest numbers for common PGT roofing scenarios we see in Delray Beach. These are written estimates, not open-ended ranges, but they give you a real starting point.
- PGT flashing repair or replacement: $325-$850 depending on linear feet and whether we’re replacing one section or the entire roof-to-wall transition.
- PGT shingle underlayment repair at eave line: $600-$1,400 depending on how much rot we’re cutting out and how many linear feet of peel-and-stick membrane we’re running.
- PGT tile replacement, single tile or small cluster: $275-$650 including matching tile and color-matching the existing fade. Larger sections add cost per square foot.
- PGT metal roof seam resealing or fastener replacement: $400-$900 per seam run, depending on access and how many fasteners need replacement.
- PGT roof-to-glass transition repair around skylights: $700-$1,900 depending on frame condition and whether the skylight itself needs replacement glass.
What moves the price: roof pitch and access difficulty, how long the leak has been active, whether the underlying sheathing is rotted, and whether the PGT parts are still in production. We quote fixed prices once we’ve inspected, not after the job starts. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs
Not if the repair is done correctly with the right materials and methods. As an independent PGT service provider, we follow manufacturer-specified repair procedures and use OEM PGT parts where the warranty depends on it. We document everything in writing, and we register both warranty layers before we leave. If a repair involves a part that PGT no longer makes, we’ll tell you that in writing and recommend the closest aftermarket equivalent, with the trade-offs stated plainly.
Most PGT roofing repairs in Delray Beach are completed in a single visit, and we’ll walk you through the work before we leave. For active leaks, call (561) 940-2917 and describe what’s happening.

It depends on your situation, and we’ll tell you which is right for your job before we start. For warranty-critical repairs on current-model PGT products, we use OEM parts. For older PGT systems where OEM parts are discontinued or priced unreasonably, we recommend quality aftermarket parts from suppliers we’ve vetted over the years. Either way, you get a written line-item quote before any work begins. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate.
The honest answer depends on how much of the system has failed and how old it is. If the failure is localized - a flashing, a few tiles, one seam run - repair makes sense and we’ll tell you so. If the underlayment is rotted across large sections or the fasteners are failing system-wide, replacement may be cheaper over five years than chasing leaks. We’ll show you the math in writing and let you decide. Estimates are free.
No. We are an independent PGT service provider, which means we repair and maintain PGT products without being bound by a manufacturer agreement.
