Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for PGT Service

We work on PGT equipment in Boca Raton every week, and that repetition teaches you things a factory brochure never will. We know which WinGuard frame corners pit first in salt air, which SpectraGuard seals fail in east Boca’s humidity, and which 800 Series rollers seize after a few years of sand intrusion. None of that knowledge comes from a training video.

Dale Kessler grew up here, in the Boca Teeca neighborhood, watching his father replace jalousie windows up and down the block. He studied glazing and fenestration at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, then spent more than two decades setting and sealing windows across Palm Beach County. He started TruePane because he kept seeing homeowners handed a low bid and a frame that was out of true. We still operate by the rule that names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For our full PGT sales & service capabilities, we carry OEM parts and proven aftermarket equivalents that match the original impact ratings. We are an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer shop, which means we answer only to the homeowner in front of us.

Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Boca Raton

PGT builds solid equipment, but Boca Raton’s coastal air and aging housing stock push certain failures to the front. These are the ones we see most.

• Condensation between panes in SpectraGuard vinyl windows. East Boca’s year-round humidity and salt-laden air accelerate gas-fill loss in insulated glass units. Once the seal lets go, you’ll see fog between the panes that wipes from neither side. That is a failed IGU, not a cleaning problem.
• Corrosion pitting on WinGuard aluminum frames. Homes within a half-mile of the Intracoastal Waterway show pitting at weep holes and sill corners years before inland properties. Salt air works into the aluminum oxide layer, and once pitting starts, it spreads. We inspect the frame’s structural integrity before recommending repair or replacement.
• Worn or seized rollers on PGT sliding glass doors. Sand blown in from A1A and the beach gets into door tracks, grinding against roller bearings until the door drags or hangs. By the time a homeowner calls, the track often has scoring that needs attention too.
• Compression gasket fatigue on impact-rated casements and fixed windows. Impact windows rely on gaskets to maintain their structural rating. After a decade of UV exposure and heat cycling, those gaskets compress and lose their seal. You’ll feel air movement and hear wind whistle. More importantly, the assembly no longer performs to its rated spec during a storm.
• Failed interlocks on older WinGuard sliding doors. The interlock is where the two panels meet, and when it fails, the door loses its impact rating even if the glass is intact. We see this often in 1970s Arvida-built homes where doors have been in service since the original install.

PGT Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Boca Raton’s residential landscape was shaped by Arvida Corporation, which built planned communities from the 1960s through the 1980s. That means a large share of the PGT windows and doors we service sit inside deed-restricted communities like Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield, and Addison Reserve. Each of those communities has an Architectural Review Committee that must approve product changes before the city will schedule a permit inspection. If you live in Boca West or Broken Sound and your PGT door fails, you are not just replacing a door-you may need our Door Installation in Boca Raton. You are submitting a PGT product approval sheet with NOA numbers, a frame color sample, and a spec document to the ARC, then waiting 2 to 4 weeks for sign-off. Contractors from Delray Beach or Deerfield Beach routinely miss this step and get hit with stop-work orders. We build that ARC buffer into every proposal as standard practice. It is not bureaucracy we resent. It is just how PGT work gets done correctly in Boca Raton, and we have been doing it long enough that the process is routine.

PGT Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton

Our techs work across the PGT lines most common in this area. We service WinGuard Aluminum Impact Series windows and doors, SpectraGuard Vinyl Impact Series, 800 Series Aluminum Non-Impact, and 7700 Series Single-Hung units. When a part fails, we use PGT OEM parts or proven aftermarket equivalents that match the original impact rating. That matters most for stainless-steel rollers, tempered laminated glass, and gaskets. We repair rather than replace whenever the frame is sound and the glass still meets current wind-load code. But we will not patch a corroded WinGuard frame that has lost structural integrity. That is not a repair. That is a liability.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Boca Raton

Will PGT impact windows from 15 years ago still pass a current Boca Raton wind mitigation inspection?

Not automatically. A 15-year-old PGT WinGuard unit may still meet the impact rating if the glass and frame are intact, but failed gaskets, corroded interlocks, or compromised frame corners can drop it below current Florida Building Code requirements. The only way to know is a physical inspection of the assembly, not just the product label. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll assess what you have before you spend money on something you may not need.

Can I replace just the glass in my PGT SpectraGuard vinyl window, or does the whole sash have to be replaced?

You can replace just the insulated glass unit in most SpectraGuard sashes, provided the frame and gasket channel are still sound. The IGU fits into the existing sash, and we order the replacement glass to the original PGT spec, including the correct gas fill and coating. If the sash itself has warped or the gasket channel has deformed, a full sash replacement becomes the honest answer. We will show you which applies to your window before you commit.

What causes the white corrosion on my PGT aluminum frame near the beach, and can it be repaired?

That white powder is aluminum oxide, and in Boca Raton it is driven by salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. The salt accelerates the natural oxidation process, especially at weep holes and sill corners where moisture collects. If caught early, we can clean and reseal the affected areas and replace the corroded hardware. If the frame has lost structural thickness, the corrosion has already done its damage, and replacement is the only safe answer. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll tell you which situation you have.

Are PGT 800 Series windows without impact glass still legal in Boca Raton for a new installation?

No. New window installations in Boca Raton must meet current Florida Building Code requirements, which for this coastal zone means impact-rated assemblies or approved opening protection. PGT 800 Series non-impact windows can still be serviced and repaired, but they cannot be used for a new installation permit. If a contractor offers to install non-impact 800 Series windows as new work in Boca Raton, walk away. They are setting you up for a failed inspection and an insurance problem.

My HOA says I must keep the same frame color as my original PGT windows - do you carry discontinued bronze or ivory finishes?

We track down discontinued PGT finishes for exactly this reason, because Boca Raton HOAs are not flexible on frame color. The ARCH committees in communities like Boca West and Broken Sound require color-chip sign-off before a permit can be scheduled, and they will not accept a near match. We submit the actual finish sample with the PGT product approval sheet and NOA. If a finish is truly unavailable, we document it for the ARC and present the closest approved options. You are never left explaining a color mismatch to a review board.
