PGT Roof Repair in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
We’re an independent PGT roof repair provider serving Pompano Beach, and we handle most PGT skylight, roof window, and flashing failures in one visit. Typical repair turnaround runs one to three days from your call to a finished job, depending on parts availability and what we find under the existing seal. Our pricing is upfront and fixed: you’ll see the full line-item quote on paper before any work starts, and the number on that sheet is the number on your bill. No surprise add-ons, no vague “additional work discovered” language after we’ve already opened the roof.
If you own a PGT roof window or skylight in Pompano Beach and you’re seeing water where it shouldn’t be, a crank that binds, or glass that’s clouded over, call us at (863) 591-8673. This page is for homeowners who want to understand what’s actually failing before they pay someone to guess.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT 400 Series roof windows lose their flashing seal in salt air. The 400 Series is common in Pompano Beach homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s. What we see most often: the original aluminum flashing kit corrodes where it meets the roof deck, and the butyl tape underneath hardens and separates. Water then travels along the underlayment and shows up as a ceiling stain ten feet from the window itself. We pull the flashing, inspect the roof deck for rot, and set a new continuous flashing system with proper underlayment in one pass.
- PGT 700 Series crank operators bind and strip. The 700 Series uses a worm-gear crank that gets stiff after years of salt and humidity. Homeowners force it, the gear strips, and the window won’t close tightly against the curb. That small gap lets in wind-driven rain during a Pompano Beach summer storm. We replace the operator with a matching mechanism and re-tension the sash so it closes square, not just closed.
- Condensation between the panes means the IGU seal is dead. PGT roof windows use insulated glass units, and once the edge seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and the only real fix is glass replacement. We see failed IGUs in roof windows far more often in Pompano Beach than inland counties because the coastal air and daily thermal cycling put the seal under constant stress. We source the replacement IGU to the exact dimensions and cut the old unit out clean.
- Original installers skipped the underlayment step. This is the one that makes me shake my head every time. We remove a leaking PGT roof window and find the original roofer butted the flashing against shingles without running proper underlayment up the curb. The window itself is fine, but the marriage between window and roof was wrong from day one. We strip back, run Ice & Water Shield correctly, and reflash. The leak stops because we fixed what was actually wrong, not because we caulked over it.
- PGT skylights with impact glass crack under falling debris. PGT’s laminated impact glass is tough, but a branch or roof tile in a storm can crack the outer lite. The inner layer usually holds, so it’s not an emergency, but it needs replacement before the laminate delaminates. We order the replacement lite with the same impact rating and install it without disturbing the roof curb.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call (863) 591-8673. A live person answers, every time. We ask what you’re seeing - water, binding, fogged glass - and schedule a time that works.
- 2
We inspect the whole assembly. Not just the glass. We check the flashing, curb, underlayment, operator mechanism, and interior drywall for water tracks. A roof window fails at the weakest point, and that’s rarely where the water shows up.
- 3
We walk you through the options on paper. OEM PGT parts when they make sense, quality aftermarket equivalents when they cost less and perform the same. You see the difference in writing before you choose.
- 4
We do the repair in one visit. Most PGT roof repairs are completed same-day. We protect the interior, pull what needs pulling, set the fix, and clean up like we were never there except for the fixed window.
- 5
We test it before we leave. Water test, crank cycle test, seal check. If it isn’t right, we’re not done.
- 6
You get our Done Right Promise in writing. If anything about the repair fails in the first 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no phone tag.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’ve been fixing windows and doors in Pompano Beach long enough to know which products hold up and which ones don’t. PGT is a good brand, but any roof window lives or dies by how it was flashed in and how the seals hold against our humidity. Our techs know PGT’s quirks because we’ve worked on enough of them to stop being surprised. And when a PGT roof window is beyond saving, we’re an authorized installer for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems among others, so we can quote you a real replacement from a brand that performs against our coastal conditions, side by side on paper with the PGT option.
We show up when we say we will, in uniform, with the parts we said we’d bring. Dale Kessler grew up in the Pompano Beach Highlands and has watched salt air ruin cheap seals for most of his life. He built TruePane around a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard on every PGT roof repair we do, and the reason we back it with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard - both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty.
FAQs
In most cases, yes - we’re an independent PGT service provider and we follow PGT’s published installation and repair specs so the existing warranty stays intact where it still applies. We also document every repair with photos and a written summary you can send to PGT if a claim comes up later.
Most PGT roof repairs in Pompano Beach are scheduled within one to three business days, and the repair itself is usually completed same-day. For an active leak during rainy season, call us at (863) 591-8673 and we’ll tell you straight what we can do this week.
Both, and you’ll see the difference in writing before we start. OEM PGT operators and glass make sense when the window is newer and under warranty. Quality aftermarket IGUs and hardware often cost 30-40% less with equivalent performance on older models. We’ll quote both and you decide.
If the failure is mechanical - a crank, a latch, a flashing reseal - repair usually makes sense. If the IGU seal has failed or the frame shows corrosion through the powder coat, replacement is often cheaper over five years. We’ll show you the math on paper and let you make the call.
Ready to stop the leak for good? Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate on your PGT roof repair in Pompano Beach. We’ll inspect, quote, and fix it right the first time.
