How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid window, but after a decade of salt air and afternoon storms, certain things go wrong more often than others. Here’s what we actually see on PGT impact windows in Boca Raton:
- Fogged glass on PGT WinGuard units. The WinGuard line is the workhorse of PGT’s impact lineup, and the most common call we get is condensation trapped between panes. That’s a seal failure, not a cleaning problem. The fix is replacing the insulated glass unit, and on WinGuard frames, we always match the exact glass package so the impact rating stays intact.
- Roller wear on PGT sliding glass doors. The 5700 and 7700 series sliders are popular in Boca Raton condos and ranch homes, and after years of dragging across tracks, the rollers flatten and the door gets heavy. Homeowners think the door is warped. It’s almost always $40 worth of rollers and an hour of our time.
- Failed balances on PGT single-hung windows. On older PGT impact single-hungs, the block-and-tackle balances lose tension, so the sash won’t stay up without a prop. We replace the balance assemblies rather than telling you to live with it or buy a new window. It’s a repair, not a retirement.
- Corroded hardware near the Intracoastal. Homes along the water in Boca Raton take a beating from salt spray, and PGT’s standard stainless hardware eventually shows it. We swap in marine-grade replacements where it matters, and we’re careful to keep the original PGT lock geometry so the frame isn’t modified.
- Improperly shimmed frames from original construction builds. In older Boca Raton neighborhoods, we find PGT windows that were set out of square by the original builder, which causes binding and air leaks over time. We correct the rough opening, re-set the frame, and re-flash the perimeter so the window works the way PGT intended.
Our PGT Impact Windows Process
When you call us about a PGT window or door, here’s what happens:
- 1
We pick up and listen. You’ll describe what the window is doing, and we’ll ask specific questions: Which room, which direction does it face, when did it start, is there any storm history on that wall. The answers tell us a lot before we even arrive.
- 2
We come out and diagnose in person. We’re in Boca Raton regularly, and there’s no trip charge inside our home county. We inspect the window, the frame, the flashing, and the surrounding opening. PGT windows fail in predictable ways, but the surrounding install matters just as much.
- 3
We write the quote and explain the parts decision. If PGT OEM parts are the right call, we use them. If a quality aftermarket part performs better for less, we tell you that openly, with the reasoning. If the window is too far gone, we price a replacement PGT unit and never pretend a patch will hold.
- 4
We do the work without surprises. Fixed pricing, no change orders, no upsells that weren’t in the written quote. If we open the wall and find rot, we stop, show you, and agree on the fix before we proceed. That’s the only honest way.
- 5
We test and walk you through it. We cycle the window or slider multiple times, check the latching, check the weatherstripping, and make sure you can operate it with one hand. Then we clean up, take the old parts, and leave your house the way we found it, minus the problem.
- 6
We stand behind it. Every PGT job is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. No mileage limit on our word.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for PGT Work
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. We’re not a franchise, not a call center, and not a brand that subcontracts your PGT window to whoever answers the phone that week. We’re the one down the road.
When you call Winslow, a live person answers, 24/7. Every technician who shows up in Boca Raton is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on PGT’s product lines. And because we’re authorized installers for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems too, we’ll never twist a PGT problem into a sale for a brand we happen to carry. If a repair is the right move, we say so. If your window is done, we’ll show you why and price the replacement honestly.
On top of that: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
FAQs
We are an independent PGT service provider, not a PGT-authorized dealer. That matters because we can give you straight advice on whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is warranted, without any manufacturer quota driving the recommendation. We use PGT OEM parts when they’re the right fit and quality aftermarket parts when they outperform for less.
No. Because we use OEM-equivalent parts and follow the original installation geometry, your factory warranty remains intact. We never modify a PGT frame or alter the impact rating to make a repair easier. If the window is still under warranty, we’ll tell you what PGT will likely cover versus what you’d pay either way, so there’s no guesswork. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through it.
Most PGT replacement parts we need, like rollers, balances, and hardware, can be sourced and installed within three to five business days. Full insulated glass units from PGT take longer, usually two to four weeks. If your PGT window is genuinely unserviceable and you can’t wait, we’ll price a comparable CGI or ES Windows unit and give you an honest side-by-side.
In most cases we can replace just the insulated glass unit, not the whole window, if the frame is still sound. Fogging in PGT WinGuard windows is a seal failure, and the fix is a new IG unit matched to the original impact glass package. You’ll pay hundreds, not thousands. We’ll tell you honestly if the frame has gone too far, and we’ll show you what we’re seeing before you decide.
Yes. When a PGT replacement window is a structural change, or when the job includes a new opening, we pull the permit and the inspection is passed before we call it done. That’s part of the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s a repair that doesn’t require a permit, we’ll tell you that too, plainly.
