This page is for the homeowner who already has PGT products and needs someone who knows how they’re built, how they fail, and how to fix them without voiding the warranty. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer outlet, which means we work for you, not for the factory’s parts department.

• Every PGT job is covered by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no arguing
• Dale Kessler grew up off Broward Boulevard and has been setting windows and doors in Broward County for over two decades

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid window, but Plantation has a way of finding the weak points. Here’s what we see most often, series by series.

• WinGuard aluminum frames with failed interlock seals. The WinGuard line, especially the older aluminum-frame models installed during the 2005-2012 building wave in Plantation, has a known issue where the interlock weatherstrip between the fixed and vent panels compresses unevenly in our heat. Owners notice a whistle during afternoon storms or condensation between the sashes. The fix is a full interlock replacement using OEM-grade material, done in a single visit, not a smear of silicone that peels by September.
• PGT 5500 series vinyl windows with sash-balance drift. On two-story Plantation homes where the 5500 series was installed as a builder-grade option, we regularly find the sash balances losing tension after ten to twelve years. The window drops when you try to hold it open, or worse, holds three inches from closed and lets every bug on Broward Boulevard inside. We replace the balance system, reset the sash, and test cycle the window ten times before we call it done.
• Custom-shaped PGT windows (radius tops, trapezoids, arches) with seal failure at the glazing bead. These are the ones that fog up and nobody wants to touch because the glass isn’t a stock rectangle. Custom shapes need exact measurement of the glass curve and a proper structural-glazing replacement, not a field-fabricated guess. We measure every custom lite twice, order to the sixteenth of an inch, and register the replacement under your existing PGT warranty when it applies.
• Sliding glass doors with carrier-roller collapse, particularly the 700 series. In Plantation, a slider that lives on the east side of the house catches wind-driven rain and salt air from the coast. The carrier rollers in the PGT 700 series doors are plastic-wheeled on many builds and break down after enough storm cycles. The door gets hard to roll, then binds at the strike jamb. We replace the carriers with high-cycle, stainless-bearing aftermarket rollers that outlast the originals, and realign the track while we’re in there.
• Commercial storefront glazing with failed setting blocks and water intrusion at the sill. On PGT commercial storefronts and curtain wall sections we service around Plantation, especially older strip-mall storefronts near University Drive, the setting blocks degrade and the glass settles just enough to break the perimeter seal. Water gets in at the sill during hard summer downpours. We pull the stops, reset the lite on new blocks, install fresh back-bedding, and reseal cleanly. The goal is a watertight opening that stays watertight through the next ten storm seasons.

Our PGT Custom Windows & Doors Process

Every PGT job follows a set order. It keeps surprises off the bill and the work out of the “we’ll come back later” pile.

1. 1
   The call. You talk to a person, day or night, at (772) 577-2915. We ask about the window or door, the symptoms, and whether you have your original PGT paperwork. If not, that’s fine, we can look up the lite codes ourselves.
2. 2
   The measure. A uniformed, background-checked technician comes to your home in Plantation, measures every opening twice, checks for frame square and level, and takes note of how the existing unit was installed. If it’s out of plumb, we’ll tell you and explain what that means for the fix.
3. 3
   The quote. We write the quote on paper, line by line, showing OEM PGT parts next to quality aftermarket options. You see exactly what each path costs and what warranty applies to each. No hidden line items.
4. 4
   The work. We install, replace, or rebuild the window or door. Custom glass arrives templated and cut to spec. We don’t fabricate curves on site with a grinder and hope.
5. 5
   The test. Before we leave, we cycle the window or door, check the seals, and verify the glass is seated true. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, that’s the founding rule in our shop.
6. 6
   The paperwork. Both warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. You get a copy. We keep a copy. No arguing later.

Why Plantation Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work

We’ve been doing this in Broward County since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he kept seeing the same thing: homeowners with voided warranties and installs that were never true to begin with. He grew up off Broward Boulevard in Plantation, learned glazing and fenestration at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and spent two decades setting windows and doors on everything from 1960s ranch homes to newer impact-rated construction across the county. If it is not square, level, and in writing, it is not done.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. Every job carries the Done Right Promise, backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave. And if PGT ever isn’t the right fit for the problem in front of us, we’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and CGI, so we’ll quote you the line that makes sense. A live person answers the phone 24/7, because we plan to be here in thirty years. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds here because this is where we live.
