We provide independent PGT service in Boca Raton, from WinGuard impact slider rebuilds to SpectraGuard glass replacement, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know which units are worth repairing in place and which need a full sash swap. TruePane Windows & Doors is not affiliated with PGT and we are not an authorized PGT dealer or warranty center. What we are is a local glazing company that has torn down, rebuilt, and re-glazed more PGT units in Palm Beach County than most crews will see in a career.

PGT built its name in Florida for a reason. The WinGuard line has been the default impact window in Boca Raton’s country-club communities for two decades, and SpectraGuard units show up on a lot of mid-2000s concrete-block homes west of I-95. The problem is that PGT frames, like every aluminum or vinyl frame exposed to Boca Raton’s salt air, fail in predictable ways. Fogged glass, sagging rollers, corroded tracks. Most PGT owners don’t need a new window. They need someone who knows exactly which part failed and why.

Why Trust TruePane Windows & Doors for Your PGT Windows & Doors?

Our lead techs have been rebuilding PGT WinGuard and SpectraGuard units since the original aluminum frames were common in Palm Beach County, and that experience is the difference between a repair that holds and one that looks fine for six months. We know which generations of WinGuard Aluminum are worth re-glazing and which have hidden corrosion behind the track that you can’t see until the sash is out. We work on PGT glass daily from PGT Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL to Delray, and we keep uninstalled PGT sashes and cut-down IGUs in our Boynton shop so we can test color and glass tint match before we ever show up at your door.

Dale Kessler grew up in the Boca Teeca neighborhood of Boca Raton, and he spent more than two decades setting glass across Palm Beach County before he started this company. His rule is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every PGT unit we touch, whether it’s a simple roller swap or a full-frame replacement. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and every job carries our Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No fine print.

Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in Boca Raton

• Fogged or hazy IGUs in original WinGuard Aluminum sashes. Desiccant saturation after 8 to 12 years of salt air is the usual culprit. Boca Raton’s coastal humidity pushes moisture past tired seals, and once the desiccant inside the insulated glass unit is spent, the fog doesn’t clear. We replace the glass, not the whole window, when the frame is still square.
• Roller sag and track wear on heavy WinGuard impact sliders. Impact-rated laminated glass is heavy. The original tandem rollers on a 72-inch WinGuard slider wear flat over time, which causes the sash to jump the track or bind at the interlock. We mill out the track channel, install stainless aftermarket rollers, and reset the sash so it glides without grinding.
• Weep hole clogging in SpectraGuard frames. SpectraGuard frames drain through small weep holes at the sill, and in Boca Raton those holes fill with salt residue, sand, and debris. When water can’t drain, it sits behind the weatherstripping and rots the sill from the inside. We clear the weep system and replace any weatherstripping that’s gone spongy.
• Cracked or delaminating laminated glass in impact-rated door lites. Drive-thru door slams put real deflection stress on the glass. Over years, that repeated flex causes the laminate layers in PGT impact door lites to separate or the glass to crack at the corner. This is a glass replacement job, and one you don’t want to put off, because compromised impact glass won’t perform if a storm hits.
• Handle misalignment and lock failure on WinGuard Vinyl casements and single-hungs. The hardware on WinGuard Vinyl units is decent, but the crank mechanisms and lock points wear after a decade of daily use. We replace the hardware with original PGT parts when the sash is still in good shape, and we tell you honestly when the whole sash is past saving.

PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

We use original PGT hardware and laminated glass from local Miami distributors whenever the sash or frame is warped, and quality aftermarket rollers, wool pile, and balances for routine rebuilds. That’s not a corner-cut. The aftermarket stainless rollers we use on PGT impact sliders hold up better in Boca Raton’s salt air than the original steel units, and they cost less than half what OEM rollers run. For glass, we don’t take chances. PGT impact glass is a life-safety product, and we source cut-down IGUs through the same supply chain the builders use.

Here’s how we decide repair versus replace: if a PGT sash is over 15 years old with both glass and frame damage, we tell the customer honestly when a full sash replacement beats a glass-only repair. If the frame is square and the only issue is a fogged IGU, re-glazing is usually the right call at roughly half the cost of a new sash. We put the numbers on paper side by side and let you decide. No pressure either way.

Our PGT Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis. We pull the sash or inspect the frame in place, identify the exact failure, and check for hidden corrosion behind the track or inside the sill. On PGT WinGuard units, we test the interlock and the roller condition before we quote anything.
2. 2
   Repair or replacement. We quote the job in writing with part numbers and labor broken out. If it’s a repair, we use OEM or spec-matched parts. If it’s a replacement, we order the PGT unit to match your frame color, glass tint, and grid pattern, and we handle the HOA Architectural Review Committee paperwork if your community requires it.
3. 3
   Testing. After the install or repair, we cycle the sash, check the locks, verify the weep drainage works, and confirm the interlock seats clean. On impact units, we verify the glass lite is properly seated in the frame with the correct sealant.
4. 4
   Warranty registration. Before we leave, we register both warranty layers in writing with durations stated. Your Done Right Promise starts the day the job is complete. If something isn’t right, call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll make it right.
