AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Plantation: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement and installation in Plantation runs between $4,800 and $22,000 depending on the roof system, underlayment, drip edge, and whether your existing PGT skylights, roof windows, or impact-rated glazing need to be reset or replaced alongside the roofing. As an independent PGT service provider, TruePane Windows & Doors handles the window, skylight, and door side of that job with the same care a roof deserves. Most PGT-related work on a roof replacement takes one to three days on site, and we give you a written line-item quote before anything gets torn off.
This page is for homeowners in Plantation who own PGT windows, skylights, or doors and are planning a roof replacement. If your roofer just told you the skylight curb is shot or the flashing around your PGT impact windows needs reseating, call us at (772) 577-2915. We’ll walk the job with you and tell you what actually needs doing.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid window. We install and service them alongside a dozen other manufacturer lines, and we see the same few failure modes over and over in Plantation. Here’s what actually goes wrong and what we do about it.
- Skylight curb rot on PGT Velux-compatible units. The glass is fine. The wooden curb underneath rots because the original flashing was nailed too high or the roofer ran shingles past the curb. We pull the unit, rebuild the curb to the correct height, set the skylight with fresh flashing, and re-seal the seam. Done right, it outlasts the next roof.
- Leaking around PGT WinGuard impact windows after a re-roof. This is common when a roofer reuses old drip edge or doesn’t reset the window flashing. PGT WinGuard windows are tight when installed correctly. The leak is almost always at the flashing plane between the new roof deck and the window frame. We remove the exterior trim, inspect the nailing flange, replace any damaged tape or sealant, and re-flash to PGT’s installation spec.
- PGT ClassicVue Max or Single-Hung seals failing within five years. In Plantation’s heat and afternoon thunderstorms, seal failure shows up as fogging or condensation between panes. The glass is under warranty if the window was registered. We handle the warranty claim, order the replacement insulated glass unit, and reset it so the sash drains properly.
- Rollers and tracks on PGT sliding glass doors binding after a roof job. Roof tear-off drops grit, tar, and debris. That grit works into the lower track on PGT slide doors and the rollers start grinding. We pull the panel, clean the track, replace the roller assemblies, and adjust the panel height so the lock stile meets the jamb square.
- Improperly flashed PGT roof-mounted fixed windows or “picture” windows in gable ends. On older Plantation ranch homes, the gable-end window sits right under the roofline. If the original install didn’t include a proper head flashing, water from the roof edge runs behind the window. We re-flash the head, install a drip cap if it’s called for, and seal the top corners. That fix holds.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s what a PGT window or skylight job looks like when TruePane Windows & Doors handles the window side of your roof replacement in Plantation.
- 1
On-site inspection. We measure the openings, check the condition of the curbs, flashing, and surrounding roof deck, and take photos. We look for water intrusion, failed seals, and any signs the roof has been leaking onto the window headers.
- 2
Written scope and line-item quote. You get a breakdown on paper. If a PGT part is under warranty, the cost shows $0 for that line. If we’re rebuilding a curb or re-flashing, that’s a named line item. No allowances, no “as needed” pricing.
- 3
Parts and warranty verification. Before we order anything, we check PGT’s warranty database for your serial numbers. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing when the job is done. If a part is discontinued, we source it through our PGT supply network or use a quality aftermarket match and tell you the difference before we install it.
- 4
Removal and prep. We pull the old unit, strip the opening down to the framing, inspect the rough opening with a level and a straightedge, and repair any rot or framing damage. If the opening isn’t square, we shim it true before the new unit goes in.
- 5
Installation and setting. The new PGT window, skylight, or door goes in per PGT’s installation manual. We shim, fasten, level, and seal according to Florida Building Code. Flashing is lapped shingle-style so water always runs away from the opening.
- 6
Test, cleanup, and the Done Right check. We run the unit through full operation, water-test the exterior with a controlled spray, and walk the job with you. If something is off, we fix it before we leave. Then we register the warranty. If it is not square, level, and in writing, it is not done.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Plantation
PGT-related work on a roof replacement in Plantation has a wide range because every house is different. An older ranch off Broward Boulevard needs different work than a newer two-story in Jacaranda. Here’s what we typically see:
- Skylight re-flash and curb reseal: $350 to $900 per unit, depending on access and curb condition.
- Skylight curb rebuild: $900 to $2,200 per unit, including new flashing and reinstallation of the PGT skylight.
- Window re-flashing during roof replacement: $175 to $450 per window, depending on how much trim must come off and whether drip edge replacement is needed.
- PGT impact window or door replacement: $1,800 to $7,500 per opening, depending on size, product line, and whether the frame gets replaced or just the sash and glass.
- Sliding glass door roller and track rebuild: $350 to $800 per panel.
The price moves with the size of the opening, the condition of the framing underneath, and whether the unit is under warranty. Get an exact number by calling (772) 577-2915. The estimate is free, and the number on the quote is the number on the bill.
Why Plantation Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a window job is only as good as the follow-up. Dale Kessler grew up off Broward Boulevard in Plantation and learned this trade through the building trades program at McFatter Technical College in Davie. That background means we measure twice, we set frames true, and we don’t walk away from a callback.
Every PGT job we do is covered by the Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. We also register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And if a PGT product isn’t the right fit for your situation, we carry authorized lines from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so you get a straight comparison on paper, not a sales pitch.

FAQs
No, a roof replacement does not void your PGT window or door warranty as long as the units themselves are not damaged and the reinstallation or re-flashing is done correctly. The risk comes when a roofer pulls the flashing, bends the nailing flange, or reuses old, cracked sealant. That’s why we recommend having the window flashing addressed by a glazier during or immediately after the roof job. Call (772) 577-2915 and we’ll inspect the flashing before the roofers are gone.
Most PGT re-flashing or skylight curb work during a roof replacement in Plantation can be scheduled within five to ten business days, and the on-site work is usually done in one visit. If your roofer is already on the roof and finds water damage at a window, call us right away and we’ll tell you whether it can wait until the roof is done or needs attention first. Call (772) 577-2915 and we’ll get it sorted.
We use PGT factory parts whenever they’re available and covered under warranty. If a part is discontinued or backordered for months, we’ll tell you and give you the option of a quality aftermarket match. We never substitute parts quietly. You’ll know what’s going in before it goes in.
If your PGT skylights are more than 15 years old and you’re tearing the roof off anyway, yes. The additional labor is minimal compared to doing it later, and you won’t have to disturb a new roof to fix a leak that shows up two years from now. We’ll inspect the units and tell you honestly whether they have life left in them. Estimates are free at (772) 577-2915.
Yes. PGT impact window and door replacements in Plantation require a permit when the frame is being replaced or the opening is being modified. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. If the work is a simple re-flash or roller rebuild with no structural change, we’ll tell you whether a permit is required and handle it accordingly. Call (772) 577-2915 for a straight answer on your specific situation.
