PGT Roof Repair in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in West Palm Beach typically costs $350-$1,200 depending on whether we’re replacing flashing around a skylight, resealing a roof-to-wall transition, or repairing water damage around a PGT roof window or sunroof. Most jobs are done in a single visit. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer warranty center, so our pricing reflects the actual repair, not a corporate rate card.
This page is for homeowners in West Palm Beach, El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Northwood Hills who already own PGT products and need roof work done around them. If your PGT skylight, roof window, or the flashing around your PGT impact-rated glazing is leaking, call (561) 660-9539. A live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT SunGuard roof window seal separation. The SunGuard line, which shows up in a lot of West Palm Beach flat-roof and low-slope homes, has a known issue where the factory seal between the frame and the roof deck degrades after 8-12 years of direct Florida sun. We see it most often in homes along Flagler Drive where salt air accelerates the breakdown. Water doesn’t pour in, it wicks. By the time you see a stain, the decking is already wet. We remove the old sealant, inspect the decking, replace any compromised wood, and reseal with a commercial-grade product rated for coastal exposure.
- PGT WinGuard roof-to-wall flashing failures. WinGuard is PGT’s impact-rated glass line, and when it’s installed in a second-story gable or a roof-adjacent wall, the flashing between the window and the roofline is usually the first thing to go. The glass itself is fine. The metal is not. We pull the counterflashing, check for rust-through, and either replace or re-secure it depending on condition. This is a $200-$600 repair that prevents a $4,000 decking replacement down the road.
- PGT roof window operator failure from humidity. PGT roof windows that open and close use a mechanical operator that does not love Florida humidity. We see them seize up in older Northwood Hills homes where the attic ventilation isn’t what it should be. Sometimes it’s just lubrication and realignment. Sometimes the operator needs replacement. We’ll tell you which one it is before we touch a screwdriver.
- Condensation between panes on PGT insulated roof glazing. If your PGT roof window has fog between the glass panels, the hermetic seal has failed. This is a glass unit replacement, not a repair. The frame can stay. We measure, order the correct replacement unit, and swap it without disturbing the surrounding roofing. On older PGT units, we match the glass tint and Low-E coating so the new pane doesn’t look like a patch.
- Skylight curb rot under PGT units. This is the one that hurts. The curb, the wooden frame that lifts the PGT skylight off the roof deck, rots when flashing wasn’t properly maintained. In West Palm Beach, with our afternoon thunderstorms and 70+ inches of rain a year, a small flashing gap becomes a big problem in two seasons. We rebuild the curb, replace the flashing, and remount the PGT unit. It’s a full-day job on most homes, but it’s done right.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
- 1
The call. You call (561) 660-9539. A live person answers and asks about the symptoms, not just the brand. We’ll tell you honestly whether it sounds like a roof issue or a window issue before we even send a truck.
- 2
On-site inspection. We arrive in uniform, background-checked, and we look at the whole situation: the PGT unit, the flashing, the decking, the seals. You get a written diagnosis and a line-item quote with upfront pricing. No trip charge inside West Palm Beach.
- 3
Parts decision. We tell you what’s PGT-specific and what’s generic. Flashing, sealants, and decking materials are sourced locally to match your roof. For PGT glass units or operators, we order direct from PGT’s distribution network or use a quality aftermarket equivalent if it makes sense for your home’s age and condition. We never hide this decision from you.
- 4
The repair. We protect the work area, do the repair, and clean up the same day. If we find additional damage while we’re in there, we stop, take photos, and talk to you before touching anything else. No surprise charges on the invoice.
- 5
Testing. We water-test the repair with a controlled hose test, check the operation of any moving parts, and walk you through what we did. You sign off before we leave.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s the promise, plain and simple.

We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up right here in Northwood Hills. He learned the trade at Palm Beach State College, and he’s spent the better part of two decades fixing the things Florida weather breaks. When you call us about a PGT repair, you’re talking to a company that knows the brand and knows the neighborhood.

We’re an authorized installer for eight brands, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. That matters for roof repair because we understand how PGT products were meant to be installed, so we know what a proper repair looks like.

FAQs
No, a properly performed roof repair around a PGT product does not void the PGT warranty, as long as the repair doesn’t involve modifying the PGT unit itself. We’re careful to work on the surrounding flashing, decking, and roofing materials, not the PGT frame or glass. If the unit itself has a defect, we’ll tell you to file a PGT warranty claim and we’ll coordinate the repair work around it.
Common PGT parts, like operators and seals, are typically available within 3-7 business days through PGT’s distribution network. Glass units take longer, usually 2-4 weeks because they’re made to order. If your roof is actively leaking, we’ll do a temporary waterproofing so you’re not waiting with a bucket in the hallway. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll give you a real timeline based on your specific unit, not a guess.
If the PGT frame is intact and the glass is clear, repair almost always makes sense. Flashing, seals, and operators can be replaced for a few hundred dollars. If the frame is corroded, the glass seal has failed, or the unit is more than 20 years old and PGT no longer supports it, replacement becomes the smarter long-term move. We’ll give you both options with honest pricing and no pressure. Call (561) 660-9539 for a straight answer.
No, unless we find hidden damage that changes the scope of the job. If that happens, we stop work, show you exactly what we found, and get your approval before any additional cost. No surprises on the invoice. That’s been our rule since Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and it’s not going to change.
Yes. We service PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we install eight authorized brands including Therma-Tru. West Palm Beach homes were built with a mix of impact-rated products, and we can handle all of them. If your PGT roof window is next to a CGI door or a CWS window that’s also acting up, one call covers it all.
