AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Delray Beach, from full-frame impact replacements on 1950s CBS ranches to sliding glass door rebuilds in oceanfront condos. What makes our PGT work different here is simple: we know which PGT series actually hold up between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, and which ones fail first. If your PGT windows are fogging, binding, or corroding, call Winslow Windows & Doors at (561) 816-5648 for an honest diagnosis and a free estimate.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’ve been working on PGT products since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up in Miami before studying building construction technology at Miami Dade College, so he learned early that South Florida weather punishes anything installed halfway. Our crew has opened, diagnosed, and retrofitted thousands of PGT windows and doors across Delray Beach’s salt-blasted, wind-borne-debris zone. We know which series, hardware, and flashing details actually hold up on masonry CBS openings and oceanfront high-rises, and which ones turn into callbacks. When you choose us for PGT sales & service, you get a locally owned company with a published address, a license number anyone can look up, and a live person answering the phone 24/7. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Salt-air crystallization on PGT 5500 Series aluminum frames. Delray Beach’s double-saline exposure, ocean on one side and the Intracoastal just blocks inland, leaves white crust, pitting, and roller scoring on 5500 aluminum frames within a decade. We see units here that look like they’ve been through 30 years of Orlando weather.
- IGU seal failure and fogging in older WinGuard impact glass. East-facing elevations take Atlantic sun and heavy rain, day after day. That thermal shock cycle is brutal on insulated glass seals. Fogged units in Delray Beach are not rare; they’re expected without proper installation flashing.
- Weep-hole occlusion and track flooding on WinGuard sliding glass doors. Coral dust, salt spray, and humidity combine into a paste that plugs weep holes and floods tracks. Corroded rollers and binding doors follow. We clean, rebuild, and replace with stainless aftermarket rollers when the frame is salvageable.
- Misalignment and air leakage on casement and awning operators. Hurricane-force gusts fatigue wedge seals and hinge rivets on aluminum PGT units. In Delray Beach, where the code is wind-borne-debris region, a misaligned impact window is not just a draft; it’s a weak point in your storm protection.
- Rusty, seized sliding door rollers in oceanfront condos. Salt-air seal failure is the number one reason we replace rollers and tracks in Delray Beach mid-rises and high-rises along East Atlantic Avenue. The doors still look fine from inside. The hardware underneath tells a different story.
PGT Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Unlike neighboring Boca Raton or Boynton Beach, Delray Beach’s 33483 ZIP sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway with no elevation buffer. That means even interior lots west of Federal Highway get salt spray whipped up from the ICW. This double-saline exposure is why we see PGT 5500 Series aluminum frames in Delray Beach showing the same corrosion profile as units three times older in inland Palm Beach County. If you live near Northwest 24th Circle or along Southeast 6th Avenue, your PGT windows are not failing because of a manufacturing defect. They’re failing because they’re breathing salt from two directions every single day. The good news: proper stainless hardware, sealed weep systems, and full-frame flashing details designed for masonry openings solve most of it. We default to OEM PGT hardware when customers need exact fit and glass matching for WinGuard systems, but we use proven aftermarket stainless rollers, weep baffles, and weatherstripping for cost-effective repairs on out-of-production 5500 aluminum units. If salt corrosion has compromised frame integrity or the IGU seal is blown, we recommend full replacement over patchwork repair.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service PGT WinGuard Aluminum Impact-rated, PGT WinGuard Vinyl Impact-rated, PGT 5500 Series Aluminum, and PGT 7700 Series Vinyl. That covers most PGT installations across Delray Beach, from Impact Windows - Delray Beach to horizontal roller and sliding impact windows to full frame replacement. For WinGuard systems, we use OEM PGT hardware so glass matching and fit stay factory-true. For older 5500 aluminum units that are out of production, we keep proven aftermarket stainless rollers, weep baffles, and weatherstripping stocked locally, which means faster turnaround for Delray Beach homeowners. We never install anything but the right part for the right application.
PGT Service Pricing in Delray Beach
PGT service pricing depends on what’s actually wrong. Here’s a straight breakdown:

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County’s adopted Florida Building Code places all of Delray Beach in the wind-borne debris region, meaning any new or replacement window and door unit must be impact-rated or paired with approved shutters. This applies even to interior-unit condo replacements, not just oceanfront properties. If you’re swapping jalousies or old single-pane aluminum frames anywhere in 33483, impact compliance is a permit trigger. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll confirm what your specific opening requires.
Because Delray Beach’s 33483 ZIP sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway with no elevation buffer, so salt-laden air reaches every property, not just beachfront condos. Boca Raton has more inland distance and elevation variation, which dilutes the exposure. Your 5500 Series aluminum frames are getting hit from both directions. We see 10-year-old Delray Beach units with the same corrosion profile as 30-year-old inland units.
Full replacement. Jalousie windows offer zero hurricane protection and their masonry openings almost always need sill and lintel assessment before any new unit can be anchored properly. Inserts don’t solve the structural anchoring required for impact compliance in a wind-borne debris region. We pulled a set of fogged PGT WinGuard aluminum single-hungs from a 1960s CBS ranch just off Northeast 5th Avenue near Carver High School, where the original jalousie-to-impact retrofit had been done a decade earlier but the masonry sills were never flashed. Salt-laden condensation wicked into the frames and killed the glass. We cut out the old units, inspected the concrete sills and lintels, installed new WinGuard impact glass with a Delray Beach Window Installation using stainless anchors, and added sill flashing that sheds ICW spray instead of soaking it up. That’s the right way.
It will, but only if the new track, rollers, and weep system are stainless or properly sealed at installation. The rust isn’t just the door; it’s what the old hardware was made of and how water was managed. We install PGT 3-lite rollers with stainless aftermarket hardware where needed and ensure the weep baffles are clear and functional. For a Delray Beach oceanfront condo, that’s a permanent fix, not a one-year patch. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote and we’ll tell you straight whether replacement or rebuild makes more sense.
Yes, and we do it regularly. PGT WinGuard Aluminum and Vinyl lines come in configurations that fit masonry CBS openings cleanly, and full-frame replacement means we flash and anchor the new unit the way the old single-panes never were. The result is impact-rated, energy-certified, and done right the first time. We can match sightlines closely enough that the neighbors won’t notice anything but the upgrade.
