AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement and installation in West Palm Beach typically runs between $14,000 and $32,000 depending on roof size, decking condition, and whether you’re going with architectural shingles, tile, or standing-seam metal. Most full replacements on PGT-equipped homes take two to five working days once materials are on site. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
This page is for West Palm Beach homeowners whose PGT windows, doors, or impact glass are already in place and who now need the roof above them replaced or installed correctly. If you’re standing in a house with PGT products and a roof that’s reached the end of its life, you already understand that the two systems work together. Call (561) 660-9539 and a real person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds impact-rated windows and doors, not roofs. But the roof and the openings work as one system, and when the roof fails, PGT products pay the price. Here’s what we see most often in West Palm Beach:
- Leaking at the roofline above PGT WinGuard casement windows. The window itself is rarely the source. Water travels down from a failed roof-to-wall flashing junction, follows the framing, and exits at the window head. We trace it back to the roof penetration, replace the flashing, and the window stays dry. WinGuard windows are tough, but they weren’t designed to be a gutter.
- Seal failure on PGT 5500 Series sliding glass doors after roof replacement. When a roofing crew tears off old material and drops it onto a patio deck below, the vibration and impact can break the door’s thermal seal or knock the rollers out of alignment. We always protect PGT doors with plywood and padding during tear-off. If a seal does fail, the glass gets replaced, not the whole door.
- Dry rot in the rough opening under PGT 360 Series single-hung windows. This is a West Palm Beach classic: roof runoff pours down a wall because a gutter end cap failed, and the water works its way into the window frame base. By the time you see the stain inside, the wood is soft. We pull the window, replace the rotted framing, flash it properly, and reset the window. The PGT product itself is usually fine.
- Discolored vinyl on PGT SpectraGuard frames. West Palm Beach sun is brutal, and some darker SpectraGuard finishes show fading within eight to ten years on south-facing walls. There’s no repair for UV fade. If the frame is still structurally sound, we clean and condition it. If it’s brittle or cracked, replacement is the honest call, and we’ll tell you that to your face.
- Fogged glass after hurricane season roof damage. A wind-driven branch can crack a shingle and let water pool against the top of a PGT fixed lite. The moisture wicks into the insulated glass unit, and now you have permanent fog inside the window. We replace the IGU while we’re on the roof fixing the penetration. It’s one trip, one crew, one invoice.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s how a PGT roof job runs when you call Winslow Windows & Doors:
- 1
Call and talk to a person. No phone tree, no voicemail. Someone answers 24/7, listens, and books your free estimate. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the standard is personal.
- 2
Full roof and opening inspection. We walk the roof, check the decking, and inspect every PGT window and door where the roof interacts with the wall. We’re looking for what a roofing-only crew might miss.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You get a breakdown of materials, labor, flashing, underlayment, and any opening protection we’ll need. Fixed pricing. If we find hidden decking rot when the old roof comes off, you approve the replacement cost before we cut a single board.
- 4
Protection, then tear-off. Every PGT window and door on the work path gets padded and covered. We install new underlayment, flash every penetration, and prep the surface for your new roof material.
- 5
Installation and testing. The new roof goes on, then we spray-test all flashing junctions and window headers. Any leak path shows itself now, not during the next South Florida downpour.
- 6
Walkthrough and the Done Right Promise. We walk the job with you before we leave. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Your Done Right Promise starts that day.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in West Palm Beach

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for PGT Work
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we do roofs and openings together, not as separate trades. We’ve been serving this area since 2011, and we’re an independent PGT service provider, not a factory store. That means we can tell you honestly when a PGT product should be repaired, when it should be replaced, and when a different brand like CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems makes better sense for your budget and your opening.
Every technician who steps onto your property is background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. Ed Winslow grew up in Northwood Hills, learned the trade at Palm Beach State College’s building construction program, and has spent the better part of two decades sealing up drafty houses and fixing rooflines across this county. When we quote you a price, that’s the price. When something goes wrong, you call us at 2 a.m. and someone actually answers. The one down the road is more than a slogan. It’s how we built this business.
FAQs
No, a properly done roof replacement will not void a PGT product warranty. What voids warranties is damage from careless work: impact, overspray, fastener punctures through frames. That’s why we pad and protect every opening during tear-off. We’ve never had a homeowner’s PGT claim denied because of our roof work.
Call (561) 660-9539 if you’re planning a roof replacement and want a crew that treats your PGT products like the investment they are.
Most full replacements take two to five working days once materials arrive. Tile and metal run longer than shingle. If we’re also replacing damaged PGT glass or frames at the same time, add a day for the window work. We schedule it so the roof is watertight before any opening product comes out.
For PGT products, we use OEM glass, hardware, and frames whenever they’re available. For some older series, certain parts are discontinued by the manufacturer, and we’ll use a quality aftermarket equivalent that we’ve tested. We’ll always tell you which one you’re getting and why.
Usually, yes. A roofline problem and a window problem are separate things, even when they look connected. We’ll inspect the PGT product during the estimate and tell you honestly whether anything needs attention now or can wait. If the window is still watertight and operating, we leave it alone. If it needs a new seal or roller, we’d rather do it while the roof is already open than charge you a separate trip later.
Call (561) 660-9539 for a free estimate on the roof work, and we’ll check the windows while we’re there.
In West Palm Beach, yes. Your PGT openings are rated for impact and pressure, but if the roof fails during a storm, the water damage wipes out everything below it, including your window investments. A roof and impact openings work as a system. We do both, which means one accountable company for the whole envelope of the house.
If your PGT windows, doors, or roof need work, call Ed and the Winslow team at (561) 660-9539 for a free, written estimate. My name’s on the truck. That means something.
