PGT Roof Repair in Plantation: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in Plantation typically runs $350 to $1,200 depending on whether we’re resealing a curb-mounted skylight, replacing a cracked glass unit, or reflashing the curb itself. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and we quote the full number before any work begins, so there are no surprise line items on the bill. This page is written for homeowners who own PGT windows, doors, or skylights and need someone who understands how those specific products behave on a Plantation roof. Call (772) 577-2915 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Key takeaways:
- We service PGT roof windows, skylights, and roof-adjacent glazing as an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer representative.
- Every repair is quoted upfront with the Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians who know Plantation’s roof conditions because they work here every week.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid product, but Plantation’s climate finds the weak points. Here are the failure modes we see most often on roofs in this city, and what we do about each one.
- PGT WinGuard skylights leaking at the curb joint. The glass unit itself is rarely the problem. What fails in Plantation is the flashing where the curb meets the roof deck, especially on older homes where the original roofer used caulk instead of a proper two-piece flashing system. We strip the old sealant, inspect the curb for rot, and rebuild the flashing with new membrane and counterflashing before resetting the unit.
- PGT SolarZone roof windows with condensation between the panes. This is a seal failure inside the insulated glass unit. Owners often assume it needs a full replacement. In many cases we can order a new IGU through PGT’s parts channel or a quality aftermarket fabricator and swap just the glass, not the whole frame. That saves real money and keeps the original rough opening untouched.
- PGT Aluminum frame roof windows with corroded weep holes. Plantation gets heavy afternoon rains in summer, and the weep system on aluminum roof windows is the first thing to clog with leaf debris and baked-on pollen. When weeps clog, water backs up and finds its way inside. We clean the weeps, check the gasket channel, and often replace the gasket with a newer EPDM profile that holds up better against South Florida UV.
- PGT impact-rated skylights with cracked outer lamination from storm debris. After a hurricane or a strong summer squall, we see outer panes with star cracks that didn’t fully shatter. The inner pane often remains intact, which is exactly what the impact rating is designed to do. We replace the outer laminated lite and re-inspect the interlayer for delamination while we’re in there.
- PGT roof-adjacent picture windows with failed sealant at the head flashing. These are the high fixed windows installed just below the roofline. The glass is fine, but the original installers often relied on a single bead of sealant at the head instead of a proper Z-flashing. Over a decade or two of Plantation sun and rain, that bead cracks and water tracks down the interior wall. We pull the head trim, install proper flashing, and reset the window to true.
Dale Kessler grew up off Broward Boulevard in Plantation and has been setting and finishing windows and doors across Broward County for the better part of two decades. He’s seen enough failed flashing jobs to know that the problem is rarely the glass. It’s what’s behind the glass.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
Here’s what happens when you call us about a PGT roof issue in Plantation.
- 1
You call, a person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback form. We ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and what model or series you have if you know it. If you don’t know, no problem. We’ll identify it on site.
- 2
We schedule the visit and show up on time. A uniformed, background-checked tech arrives with the truck stocked for common PGT parts. We inspect the unit, the curb or frame, the flashing, and the surrounding roof deck.
- 3
We give you a written line-item quote on the spot. You’ll see the parts cost, the labor, and the warranty registration. If we recommend an aftermarket part over OEM, we’ll tell you why and show you the price difference in writing.
- 4
We do the repair right the first time. For roof work, that means proper flashing, correct sealant for the substrate, and the unit reset square and level. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
We test before we leave. A water test where safe and practical, a seal check, and a full review of what we did. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway.
- 6
You get the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

Why Plantation Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’ve been serving Plantation and the surrounding communities since 2008 through a heritage of craft and community commitment, founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008. When a Plantation homeowner calls us about a PGT roof window or skylight, they get a technician who has worked on PGT products in this city’s specific conditions, not a trainee reading a manual in the driveway. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, and CGI, and we also service CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters because if your PGT unit is beyond repair and you want a side-by-side quote on a replacement from another impact-rated line, we can put it on paper for you. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, with no surprise line items on the bill. We stand behind it.
FAQs
PGT’s manufacturer warranty typically covers the glass unit and frame, not the installation flashing or the labor to access the unit. As an independent PGT service provider, we repair to the manufacturer’s installation standards so any remaining factory warranty stays intact, and we register our workmanship warranty in writing before we leave. Call (772) 577-2915 if you want us to walk through your specific warranty language.
PGT’s parts availability varies by series and age. For current lines like WinGuard and SolarZone, glass units and hardware typically arrive in one to three weeks. For older or discontinued series, we often source through quality aftermarket fabricators who match the original glazing spec, which can cut wait time significantly. We’ll tell you the lead time before you commit.
If the glass is intact and the leak is at the curb or flashing, repair is almost always the right call and costs a fraction of replacement. If the IGU seal has failed and you’re seeing condensation between the panes, a glass-only replacement makes sense when the frame and curb are sound. We’ll give you both options in writing and let you decide. Call (772) 577-2915 for an honest assessment.
Most skylight resealing and glass replacement work does not require a permit in Plantation. If we find structural damage to the curb or roof deck that requires more than a repair, we’ll tell you what’s needed and handle the permit process through the proper channels. You’ll know before any work starts.
No. The quote we give you in writing is the price you pay, unless we both agree in writing to additional work after opening up the wall or curb and finding something that couldn’t be seen from the outside. That’s a square deal. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate.
