We provide independent PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing service across Boca Raton, with most diagnostic visits completed within 48 hours of your call and most repairs finished the same day we diagnose them. Our pricing is built on a square deal: we quote the full scope in writing before work begins, and the number on the quote is the number on the bill. No change orders, no surprise line items, and no pressure to replace what can still be repaired.
This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who bought PGT storm-rated roof systems or glazing products and now need straight answers about repair, parts, and warranty-safe service. If you’ve been handed a fogged unit, a stuck roller, or a rust-marked frame and told it’s “just old,” call us at (561) 264-1337. We’ll tell you what’s actually wrong and what it costs to fix – before you spend a dollar.
Key Takeaways:
- We service PGT roof-glazing systems and storm-rated units installed in Boca Raton homes, as an independent PGT service provider – not a manufacturer-authorized depot.

How PGT Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
PGT builds storm-rated windows and doors that hold up through hurricane season better than most. But even well-made units fail in specific ways after years of Boca Raton sun, salt air, and hard rain. Here are the failure modes we see most often in PGT units tied to shingle, tile, and metal roofing applications:
- Rust-stained glass framing at the roof line. On PGT WinGuard roof skylight frames and transom units set into shingle and tile roof decks, we regularly see brown staining where the glazing gasket meets the metal frame. This is not a defect – it’s what happens when roof runoff sits against the frame edge after heavy summer rain. The fix is a full gasket replacement and resealing with a marine-grade sealant, not just a wipe-down. In Boca Raton, where afternoon storms roll in most days from June through September, this issue shows up faster than homeowners expect.
- Fogged double-pane units in PGT SpectraGuard impact glass. When a SpectraGuard insulated unit fogs between the panes, the desiccant inside the spacer has been overwhelmed. In Boca Raton’s humidity, this happens faster in units that face direct morning sun. The unit cannot be “cleared” – the sealed glazing assembly must be replaced. We order replacement IGUs cut to PGT’s exact original flap dimensions, not “close enough” aftermarket glass that voids what remains of the warranty.
- Stiff or seized rolling panels in PGT Multi-Slide and pocket door systems. Salt air and pine pollen get into the track channels on PGT sliding and folding roof-deck door systems, grinding the rollers down over time. The real cause is rarely the roller itself – it’s the track warping or accumulating debris, which then wears the roller bearings flat. We don’t spray lubricant and call it fixed. We replace the track rollers and realign the panel so it moves square and seals tight.
- Leaking seals around PGT Fixed Roof Glazing set into tile roofs. On Boca Raton homes with PGT fixed glass panels set into barrel tile or flat tile roof assemblies, the original sealant between the glazing frame and the tile-to-metal transition hardens and shrinks after about 12 to 15 years of direct sun. Water tracks in along the frame’s underside. The fix is a full mechanical removal of the old sealant, a clean of the frame edge to bare metal, and a re-seal with a UV-stable, paintable sealant. Anything less buys you another wet season, not a dry ceiling.
- Failing hardware on PGT casement and awning roof-adjacent windows. Units mounted high on tile-roofed walls, especially over tile roofs that reflect heat upward, see faster crank rust and hinge wear than identical units at street level. The heat cycling plus moisture wicking into the hinge pins is the cause. We replace the operator arms and hinges with corrosion-resistant hardware, and we adjust the sash so it locks without leaning on the gear mechanism.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Here’s how a PGT service call runs from the first phone call to the final test, no matter whether the unit is set into shingles, tile, or metal:
- 1
Call us at (561) 264-1337. A live person answers, takes down your address, and books a diagnostic visit. We don’t triage through a form or a callback queue.
- 2
We measure and inspect. Our background-checked, uniformed technician checks the glazing frame, the seal, the track or hinge condition, and the surrounding roof transition. We measure twice, because a measurement taken once is how we got half our redo work from other installers’ mistakes.
- 3
We quote in writing. You get a line-item quote for parts and labor before anything is touched. OEM parts when the original warranty demands them; quality aftermarket parts only when they meet or beat the original spec, and only with your written okay.
- 4
We do the work. One visit, one crew, no “waiting on a part” surprise two weeks later. We stock common PGT glass sizes and hardware in our Boca Raton service van, and what we don’t stock we order the same day.
- 5
We test and clean up. The unit gets cycled, sealed, and checked for square and seal. We leave the job site the way we found it – minus the broken part.
- 6
We hand you the warranty paperwork. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Boca Raton
Here are the ranges we quote in Boca Raton for common PGT service jobs, based on what we’ve seen across Boca Teeca, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, and the beach side communities east of Federal Highway:
- Diagnostic visit: $89, applied toward the repair if you proceed.
- Single fogged IGU replacement (PGT SpectraGuard, standard sizes): $420-$780 per unit, including install and warranty registration.
- Roof-deck glazing frame reseal (shingle, tile, or metal transition): $325-$690 depending on linear footage and the severity of the old sealant removal.
- PGT sliding or folding door roller and track service: $240-$550 per panel, more for pocket doors that require stripping the frame.
- Casement or awning operator replacement (roof-adjacent units): $185-$385 per window, hardware included.
What moves the price is the unit size, the roof deck height, and whether the original frame is still square or needs correction before new glass or hardware can go in. We quote fixed prices, not hourly estimates that balloon. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free, written estimate.
Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’re not the cheapest bid in Boca Raton, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the company you call when the cheap fix has already failed once. Dale Kessler grew up in Boca Teeca, and he’s been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Palm Beach County for over two decades. He started TruePane because he watched too many homeowners get handed a low bid and a loose frame, and he decided someone in this market ought to stand behind the work with more than a handshake.
Every PGT service job we run is covered by our Done Right Promise: if it isn’t done right, we make it right – no paperwork fights, no arguing. And because we’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we can give you honest side-by-side quotes on paper if your PGT product ever needs a full replacement rather than a repair. A live person answers the phone 24/7. If you call, we answer. That’s the standard.
FAQs
As an independent PGT service provider, we work in a warranty-safe manner: we use OEM parts and specified sealants where the original warranty requires, and we document the work in writing so you have a record. What typically voids a PGT warranty is not independent service – it’s installing aftermarket parts or skipping the required re-seal steps, which is exactly what we don’t do.
Most common PGT glass sizes, rollers, and hardware are on our Boca Raton service van or in our local supplier inventory. Specialty units, like large multi-slide panels or custom roof-glazing assemblies, typically take 5 to 10 business days. We tell you the real timeline on the first visit, and we don’t start tearing anything out until the parts are in hand.
We repair what can be safely and durably repaired – reseals, roller replacement, hardware swaps, IGU glass replacement – and we tell you honestly when a full replacement is the better financial call. If replacement is the answer, we’ll quote PGT side by side with comparable lines like CGI or ES Windows so you can make the call on paper, not on a sales pitch.
Most single-unit repairs – a fogged IGU, a roller service, a seal replacement – are completed in one visit, typically 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on roof access and the scope of the old sealant removal. We complete most jobs in a single visit, and you won’t be left waiting on a second appointment.
Yes. Most of the PGT work we do in Boca Raton was originally installed by someone else, and a good portion of it was installed incorrectly, which is why the homeowner called us. We don’t care who put it in. We care that it’s square and sealed when we’re done.
