Why Boca Raton Homeowners Choose PGT Windows & Doors
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. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate on your PGT repair or replacement.
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
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
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
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
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.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors Service in Boca Raton
No. We are an independent PGT service provider, not an authorized dealer or factory warranty center. That independence means we recommend the repair that makes sense for your situation, not the one that sells a new window. We’ve been servicing PGT products in Boca Raton since 2008 of combined team experience, and our workmanship carries our own Done Right Promise.
Yes, when the part calls for it. We use original PGT hardware and laminated glass whenever the frame or sash is warped or the part is safety-critical. For routine rebuilds like rollers, wool pile, and balances, we use quality aftermarket components that frequently outperform the originals in Boca Raton’s salt air and cost less. We walk you through the part choice before we order anything.
Most our Window Installation services and PGT repairs in Boca Raton, like roller swaps, hardware replacement, or weatherstripping work, are done in a single visit. Glass replacement takes a little longer because we order the IGU cut to your exact specs, usually 5 to 10 business days from order to install. Full-frame replacements depend on the PGT production queue and any HOA review your community requires. Call (561) 264-1337 for a realistic timeline on your specific job.
We service and install WinGuard Aluminum, WinGuard Vinyl, SpectraGuard, and the 700 Series across Boca Raton. That includes impact casements, single-hungs, sliders, picture windows, and patio doors. If you’re not sure which series you have, look for the PGT label on the sash or give us the dimensions and a photo, and we’ll identify it.
Here’s the honest answer: if your PGT units are still under factory warranty, the manufacturer may require warranty work to be done by an authorized dealer. We’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case and point you in that direction. For units out of warranty, which is most of what we see in Boca Raton, our service won’t affect any remaining coverage because there isn’t any, and our Done Right Promise stands behind the work we do.
PGT service in Boca Raton varies by job. A roller swap on a WinGuard slider might run $180 to $340. A fogged IGU replacement on a SpectraGuard or WinGuard sash typically falls between $450 and $900 depending on size and tint. Full-frame PGT replacement windows run $1,400 to $3,500 per opening depending on series, impact rating, and HOA-required specs. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact quote, estimates are free, and we’ll match the tint and grid pattern to your existing units before we order glass.
Condensation between the glass panels means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed and the desiccant inside is saturated. In Boca Raton’s salt air, that happens faster than inland, often at the 7 to 10 year mark on original WinGuard Aluminum units. The fix is glass replacement, not window replacement, and we re-glaze with a matching tint and grid pattern for about half the cost of a new sash.
You can absolutely replace just the rollers, and we do it regularly. The original tandem rollers on PGT WinGuard impact sliders wear flat after years of supporting that heavy laminated glass, causing the sash to jump the track or grind at the interlock. We mill the track channel, install stainless aftermarket rollers, and reset the sash. Total cost lands around 40% less than a new slider. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
Fifteen-year-old PGT WinGuard units were built to the code at the time, but Florida Building Code wind-load requirements have changed since then, and so has your insurance carrier’s appetite for risk. The product approval number on your original paperwork is what matters for code compliance, and if you don’t have it, we can pull the NOA information from the unit labeling. For insurance purposes, most carriers in Boca Raton want current opening protection documentation, and we can walk you through what your policy actually requires. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll help you sort it out.
The crank mechanism and the multi-point lock are the two weak points on PGT casements, especially the WinGuard Vinyl units. The crank gears strip after years of repeated force, and the lock points drift out of alignment so the handle won’t seat cleanly. Both are repairable with original PGT hardware when the sash itself is still square. If the frame’s racked, we’ll tell you that too.
