How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds tough stuff. But even the best products in South Florida have known weak points after years of salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane-season wind cycles. Here’s what we see most often in Boca Raton:

• Flashing separation on PGT WinGuard casement windows under roof overhangs. The aluminum flashing that ties the window frame to the roofline corrodes faster here than anywhere else in the state because of salt spray from the Intracoastal. When it separates, water wicks behind the frame and shows up as staining on the interior drywall below the window. We strip the old flashing, re-tape the sill pan, and install new flashing with proper kickout diverters so runoff actually leaves the wall.
• Cracked sealant at the head of PGT 7700 sliding glass doors on flat-roof homes. Boca Raton has a surprising number of mid-century flat-roof houses west of I-95, and the doors on those homes sit nearly flush with the roofline. The factory sealant at the head of the frame breaks down after 10 to 15 years under direct UV, then ponding water from the flat roof finds the gap. We pull the old sealant, inspect for rot in the header, and re-seal with a marine-grade product that flexes with the door.
• Improperly flashed PGT aluminum frame windows installed by other contractors. This is the one that makes us shake our heads. Some installers treat an impact window like a standard window and skip the head flashing entirely, assuming the roof overhang will do the work. In Boca’s summer downpours, wind-driven rain goes right behind the frame. We see this regularly in older neighborhoods like Boca Isles and Timbercreek. The fix is removing the interior trim, installing a proper flashing assembly, and re-trimming. It takes a day and stops the leak permanently.
• Roof-to-wall transition failures where PGT fixed windows meet tile roofs. S-tile roofs are everywhere in Boca Raton, and the joints where a fixed PGT picture window butts against the tile edge are a classic trouble spot. The original underlayment at those transitions degrades, and water works its way down the wall sheathing. We repair the underlayment, install a secondary water barrier, and re-point the tile-to-flashing junction so it moves as one system.
• Weep hole blockages on PGT single-hung windows near overgrown landscaping. This one’s not technically a roof repair, but it acts like one. When the weep holes on the bottom track clog with dirt, pollen, or the fine sand that blows everywhere in Boca, water backs up, fills the track, and drains inside instead of out. Homeowners call it a “roof leak” because the water shows up at the ceiling line. We clear the weeps, verify the drainage path, and usually find the real problem is a reversed or missing sill pan from the original install.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Here’s what a PGT repair looks like when we do it. No surprises at any step.

1. 1
   You call (561) 816-5648. A live person answers and asks what you’re seeing. We schedule a time that works, and inside our home county there’s no trip charge.
2. 2
   We inspect the full water path. Not just the obvious spot. We check the flashing above the PGT unit, the wall sheathing behind it, the interior framing, and the roofline junction. Water travels, and fixing the wrong spot wastes your money.
3. 3
   We show you what we found. Photos, measurements, an honest assessment. If it’s a $35 tube of sealant, we’ll tell you that. If it’s a structural issue, you’ll see exactly why.
4. 4
   We quote it in writing, line by line. Parts, labor, any replacement material. That number doesn’t change once work starts unless you ask us to do something different.
5. 5
   We do the repair with the right parts. For PGT products under warranty, we use factory-specified materials and document everything. For out-of-warranty work, we’ll give you the honest trade-off between OEM and quality aftermarket parts. Some aftermarket options are genuinely better for salt-air exposure.
6. 6
   We test, then we clean up. Water test on every repair before we pack the ladders. Then we sweep, haul debris, and leave your house cleaner than we found it. Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.

What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Boca Raton

Here are honest ranges for the jobs we do most often. These are Boca Raton prices, not national averages, and they reflect what we actually see on South Florida homes.

• Flashing replacement around a single PGT window: $350-$600
• Flashing replacement around a PGT 7700 or 5500 sliding glass door: $600-$1,100

• Structural repair if rot is found in the header or wall sheathing: $1,000-$3,000+, quoted after we open the wall and show you what’s there

What moves the price: how many openings are affected, whether the roof tile has to come off to access the flashing, how much trim work is involved, and whether we find hidden rot. We don’t pad the number. We quote what it takes. Call (561) 816-5648 for a written estimate, and remember: $40 off any repair over $200, always.
