PGT Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Boca Raton: What to Know First
PGT sliding glass and patio doors in Boca Raton usually cost $380-$2,400 to repair, depending on whether we’re replacing rollers, rebuilding a track, or swapping the entire panel. Most sliding door repairs take one visit, with the truck in the driveway for two to four hours. We’re an independent PGT service provider, which means we work for you, not the factory. If your PGT door drags, sticks, fogs, or won’t lock, call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll tell you what you’re looking at before we ever schedule the appointment.
This page is written for PGT owners in Boca Raton who’ve lived with their doors long enough to know when something’s off. You want straight answers on cost, parts, and whether a repair makes sense or if it’s time to replace. That’s what we do.
How PGT Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid door. But every sliding door in South Florida works hard, and after ten or fifteen years of salt air, sun, and daily use, specific things go wrong. Here’s what we see most often on PGT lines like the 500/700 Series and WinGuard sliding doors in Boca Raton:
- Dragging or binding panels on 700 Series and WinGuard sliders. The aluminum track fills with sand and shell grit from beachside air, the rollers flatten or seize, and the door starts chewing itself up. We pull the panel, clean the track bed, replace rollers with OEM or equal-quality aftermarket sets rated for the panel weight, and reset the reveal. A door that slides with two fingers when we leave is the standard.
- Fogged glass or condensation between panes. On insulated PGT units, the argon fill leaks out when the edge seal fails, usually from years of thermal cycling. The glass looks streaky and you can’t wipe it off. We order a replacement insulated glass unit matched to the original frame dimensions and glazing spec, then reseal and reglaze. The frame stays; the view comes back.
- Locking hardware that fights you. The multi-point lock bodies and keepers on older PGT 500 Series doors wear out of alignment. Forcing the handle strips the internal gears and then the door won’t secure at all. We realign, replace worn hardware with PGT-compatible parts, and test the full throw of the lock before we call it done.
- Water staining at the bottom corners of WinGuard impact doors. The weep holes designed to drain the track get clogged with pollen and fine sand. Water backs up, wicks into the frame, and stains the interior dead corner. We clear the weep system, check the sill dam, and reseal where the frame meets the slab so drainage works the way the engineers intended.
- Roller assemblies that have never been serviced. On PGT doors installed during the Boca building boom of the early 2000s, original rollers are often past their useful life. Homeowners assume the door needs replacing. It doesn’t. New rollers, new track caps, and a proper adjustment usually give the door another decade.
Our PGT Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
We run a PGT sliding door job the same way we run every job: measure twice, write it down, and leave the house cleaner than we found it. Here’s how it goes.
- 1
Call and diagnosis. You call (561) 264-1337, a live person answers, and we ask about your PGT door: model if you know it, symptoms, how long it’s been acting up. We schedule a time and show up on it.
- 2
On-site inspection. Our tech measures the opening, checks the track, rollers, glass, and hardware. We write up the findings and quote you the fix on paper before any work starts.
- 3
Parts decision. We tell you the difference between OEM PGT parts and quality aftermarket equivalents, including price. The choice is yours, in writing. No surprises later.
- 4
The repair. We do the work in one visit whenever possible, whether that’s a roller replacement, glass swap, track rebuild, or new hardware set.
- 5
Operation test. We cycle the door a dozen times, check the lock throw, check the weep drainage, and make sure the panel sits square in the frame. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
- 6
Warranty registration and cleanup. We register the work through The Keystone Standard and sweep the debris. You have our number if anything needs attention.
What PGT Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Boca Raton
| Service | Typical Range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Roller replacement (single panel) | $180-$340 |
| Track cleaning and realignment | $140-$260 |
| Multi-point lock or hardware replacement | $220-$450 |
| Insulated glass replacement (fogged unit) | $380-$850 depending on size and impact rating |
| Full panel replacement (non-impact) | $1,200-$2,400 |
| Full panel replacement (WinGuard impact) | $2,000-$4,500 depending on width and structural opening requirements |
What moves the price most is glass type. Impact-rated WinGuard units carry a meaningfully higher materials cost than standard insulated glass. Parts source matters too: OEM PGT components cost more than quality aftermarket, and we quote both so you can see the difference on paper. We charge by the job, not the hour, and the number we quote is the number you pay. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate on your specific door.
Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work

If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print.

FAQs
We’re an independent service provider, not a PGT warranty contractor, which means we can’t file warranty claims on your behalf. What we do is inspect the door, tell you honestly whether the failure looks like a manufacturing defect or wear and tear, and repair the door correctly either way. If you pursue a warranty claim with PGT, we’ll give you the documentation and measurements you need to support it.
Yes. Within Boca Raton and the surrounding Palm Beach County market, we can source OEM PGT rollers, lock bodies, keepers, and track components for most 500 Series, 700 Series, and WinGuard sliding doors going back roughly twenty years. When OEM parts are discontinued, we quote quality aftermarket equivalents that match the original dimensions and load ratings. You’ll see both options and both prices before any work starts.
If the frame is solid and square, the threshold drains properly, and the glass isn’t visibly cracked, a repair almost always makes sense. We replace rollers, hardware, seals, and glass units while keeping the original frame. If the aluminum frame is pitted or bowed, the threshold is failing, or you want to upgrade from non-impact to impact-rated glass, replacement becomes the better option. We’ll tell you straight which side of that line your door is on. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact assessment.
Most roller, track, and hardware repairs are done in one visit, and we typically schedule within a week of your call. Glass replacement takes longer because the insulated or impact unit has to be fabricated to your exact dimensions, which usually runs seven to fourteen business days. We’ll give you a firm timeline before you commit.
No. We quote the job after inspecting the door, in writing, and that’s the price. The only exception is if we open up the door and find hidden structural damage that no one could have seen from the outside, and if that happens, we stop and call you with photos and a revised number before touching anything else. No change orders slipped onto the final bill.
