This page is written for Pompano Beach homeowners who bought a PGT product years ago and want it working the way it did the day it was set. You didn’t buy a bargain door. You shouldn’t settle for bargain service.
How PGT Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid Florida product, but salt air, humidity, and hurricane cycles expose weak points that show up predictably in Pompano Beach. Here’s what we see on service calls, week after week, and what we actually do about it.
- Roller failure on PGT 5500 and 7700 Series sliders. The original nylon rollers wear flat, usually on the south-facing side of the house where heat and salt deposit accelerate the process. The door still slides, but it grinds, then it gouges the track. We replace the rollers with either the OEM assembly or a bearing-matched aftermarket set, and we dress the track so the new rollers don’t die the same way in three years.
- Interlock seal separation on PGT SGD470 and SGD570 patio doors. The vertical interlock between the fixed and sliding panels carries a vinyl fin seal that shrinks and pulls away from the extrusion. You’ll feel a draft at the meeting rail or see daylight at the corner. We pull the panel, clean the channel, install the seal with the right durometer for coastal exposure, and set the panel back square.
- Weep hole blockage causing sill rot and interior staining. PGT’s sills drain through a series of small slots that clog with sand, pollen, and salt crust in Pompano Beach. When they clog, water sits in the track and wicks into the frame. We clear the weeps, flush the sill channels, and verify drainage before we touch anything cosmetic. A stain can be a warning, not a verdict.
- Keeper misalignment on PGT 5700 and 7700 series after wind load. After a storm season or two, the door falls a few millimeters out of square and the lock no longer seats cleanly, or the handle binds. We reset the panel height and the keeper position, not just the strike plate. Adjusting one without the other is a temporary fix.
- Glass seal failure on insulated PGT units. Fogging inside the pane means the argon is gone and the seal is spent. PGT’s glass warranty is time-limited and based on the original install. We assess whether your unit is still under coverage, and if it isn’t, we quote a replacement insulated unit through a local fabricator with identical performance ratings.
Our PGT Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
- 1
We identify the series and the symptom before we touch anything. We ask for the model tag on the door’s edge or head jamb, and we ask about what changed: when it first stuck, when the leak started, what the lock does now.
- 2
We measure and inspect with the panel in place and then again out of place. Twice, every time. The second reading tells us whether the frame itself has shifted or the panel is the problem.
- 3
We decide OEM vs. aftermarket in front of you, on paper. Some parts are PGT-only. Some are straight commodity with a markup. If aftermarket is equal or better for your case, we say so and show you the difference. If the manufacturer’s warranty is still alive, we follow PGT’s repair protocols so the coverage isn’t voided.
- 4
We do the repair, set the panel, and test under load. We run the door full travel both directions, check the interlock, check the drain, and pull the lock against the keeper the way a storm would.
- 5
We clean the track, wipe the glass, and register any warranty work in writing. The Keystone Standard applies to every job: both warranty layers documented, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’ve been serving this community since 2008, and we’ve seen what happens to doors in this climate when shortcuts get taken. Dale Kessler grew up in the Pompano Beach Highlands and spent enough summers watching salt eat through poorly sealed frames to understand what bad glazing actually costs a homeowner over time. That’s why every PGT job we touch gets the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
We don’t only work on PGT. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained across more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. When a homeowner asks which door they should replace their PGT with, we quote options side by side on paper so they can see the numbers in the same room. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no phone tree.
Will my PGT warranty still be valid if you do the work?
It depends on the terms of your original PGT warranty and the age of the product. If your coverage is still active, we follow PGT’s published repair requirements and document the work, so the maker’s warranty stays intact. If the warranty has expired or doesn’t cover the failed part, we give you a written estimate before any work and handle the repairs directly.
How fast can you get PGT parts in Pompano Beach?
Most common PGT parts, rollers, seals, keeper assemblies, and weatherstrip, are available locally or from our supplier network within one to three business days. For insulated glass units, fabrication usually takes five to ten business days depending on the glass type and coating. When we quote the job, we’ll give you a parts timeline that matches the repair, not a guess.
Is it better to repair or replace my PGT sliding glass door?
Repair is usually the right call if the frame is square, the glass is sound, and the failure is a roller, seal, or alignment problem. Replacement makes sense when the frame is corroded or warped, the glass has failed, or the door no longer meets your wind and energy standards. We’ll explain both options for your specific door and give you prices for each so you can decide on facts, not pressure.
Do you offer free estimates for PGT sliding glass and patio doors?
Yes. We provide free estimates on all PGT repair and replacement work in Pompano Beach and the surrounding areas. We’ll come out, measure, diagnose, and hand you a written quote with the cost broken down line by line. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll schedule it.
Are you an authorized PGT dealer or service provider?
We are an independent PGT service provider, not a PGT-authorized dealer. We work on PGT doors because Pompano Beach homeowners have them, and because the product is worth fixing right. Our warranty protection comes from our own Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, both of which are in writing before we leave the driveway.
Do you install new PGT sliding glass and patio doors too?
Yes, we supply and install new PGT doors alongside other impact-rated brands, and we’ll show you how PGT’s current offerings compare to CGI, CWS, and ES Windows side by side. We register both warranty layers in writing and back the installation with our workmanship guarantee. If the door isn’t square and the panel doesn’t run true, we haven’t finished the job.
Can you fix a PGT door that’s hard to open, or do I need a whole new door?
A door that’s hard to open often just has worn rollers, a scored track, or a panel out of alignment. Those are repairable issues and they’re among the most common PGT repairs we do. If the misalignment comes from a shifting header or a frame that’s no longer square, we’ll tell you that plainly, with measurements, before recommending a replacement. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll assess yours at no cost.
