Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Choose PGT Windows & Doors
We’re an independent PGT repair in Pompano Beach provider, and we repair, replace, and install PGT WinGuard and PremierVue products across Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. What sets our PGT work apart is straightforward: we understand how these specific impact-rated frames and sashes behave after years of salt air and storm cycles, and we repair them in ways that preserve your wind mitigation credits and code compliance. If you’ve got a PGT window that binds, a sliding door that grinds, or a WinGuard with a cracked corner weld, call (863) 591-8673 and talk to a person who knows the product.

PGT is a Florida company built in Venice, and their impact-rated lines were designed for exactly the conditions Pompano Beach throws at a window. We’ve worked on enough of them in this city to know what holds up and what doesn’t. We are not authorized by PGT, and we don’t pretend otherwise. What we are is a local shop with more than years of community service behind us, and we treat every PGT repair as a craft job, not a parts swap. Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 after growing up in the Pompano Beach Highlands, watching salt air eat through poorly sealed frames. We also handle PGT repair in Coconut Creek. That background shapes how we work on every PGT product that comes through our door.
Why Trust TruePane Windows & Doors for Your PGT Windows & Doors?
Our technicians have spent years inside PGT WinGuard and PremierVue frames, and they know these products down to the roller specs and balance tensions. We don’t send a generalist who has to look up the model number on his phone. We send someone who has already fixed the exact failure you’re describing in a dozen Pompano Beach homes before yours. That matters when a single wrong part or a sloppy caulk line can void a warranty or compromise an impact rating.
Dale Kessler trained in the building trades program at Broward College, where he learned to read a spec sheet before he learned to sell anything. That habit stuck. When we quote a PGT repair, we quote the right parts, the right method, and the right labor, and we put it on paper before we touch your opening. We use OEM PGT hardware for critical safety and sealing components, and quality aftermarket parts for non-structural items like glides and weatherstripping. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise, backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty. We stand behind our work, and we’ve been doing it in this community since 2008.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in Pompano Beach
Here are the specific failures we see most often on PGT products in Pompano Beach, and the real reasons they happen here rather than inland.
- Stress cracks at corner welds on WinGuard Vinyl Impact frames. The welded corners on vinyl impact frames take the brunt of repeated pressure cycles. After a decade of storms and thermal expansion in Pompano Beach’s bright sun, we regularly see hairline cracks at the weld joints. This isn’t a cosmetic issue. A cracked corner weld can compromise the frame’s structural integrity and its impact rating. We inspect the full rail and stile before recommending repair or replacement, and we’ll be honest about which one preserves your code compliance.
- Binding sashes and grinding tracks on WinGuard Aluminum sliders. Within a half-mile of the Atlantic, salt film builds up on aluminum tracks and corrodes the glides and rollers. A sliding door that once threw clean now sounds like it’s dragging gravel. We polish the aluminum, replace the worn rollers, and get the door back to a clean throw without touching the water seal. Our team did exactly that on a WinGuard Aluminum impact sliding door at a condo near the Intracoastal, where the original tracks had collected a decade of salt film. We replaced the worn stainless steel rollers and adjusted the header, and the homeowner got a door that operated like new.
- PremierVue upper sashes drifting down. The PremierVue Aluminum Non-Impact Series uses balance systems that lose tension over time, especially in coastal homes where fine salt dust works into the spring and block-and-tackle mechanisms. When the upper sash won’t stay up, the balance assembly is failing. We replace balances and check the sash alignment so the window operates correctly and seals tightly against Pompano Beach’s afternoon downpours.
- Clogged weep holes causing sill water intrusion. Windblown sand and debris from the beach clog the small weep holes on fixed WinGuard impact frames. When those holes can’t drain, water pools in the sill channel and eventually finds its way inside. In older Pompano Beach neighborhoods like Collier City, where homes sit close to the road and landscaping throws debris, this is a recurring issue we clear and reset regularly. The fix is simple, but if left alone, it rots the interior reveal and breeds mold.
- Fogged or cracked glass units on WinGuard impact windows. Impact-rated laminated glass doesn’t fail the same way standard annealed glass does. When the exterior pane cracks from a thrown rock or a broom handle, the inner laminate layer often holds the pane together, which is by design. But the sealed unit is compromised, and moisture will eventually work its way between the lites. We assess whether a reglaze is possible or whether the full sash needs replacement, always with an eye on your wind mitigation credits.
PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock the common wear items for PGT products locally: rollers, glides, balances, weatherstripping, and weep hole covers. For critical safety and sealing components, we use OEM PGT replacement hardware when it’s available. There’s no reason to cut a corner on a part that holds an impact rating together. For non-structural items like rollers and weatherstripping, we use quality aftermarket parts that match or exceed the OEM spec, and we tell you which is which on the estimate.
Our repair-or-replace call is honest, and it’s based on one question: can we restore this unit to full function without compromising its impact rating or its code compliance? If the frame is sound and the glass is intact, we repair. If the frame has stress fractures, if the balance system has failed repeatedly, or if the glass unit has lost its seal, we’ll recommend replacement and tell you why. We never recommend a replacement just to bill a bigger job. In Pompano Beach’s HVHZ, a bad repair can mean a failed inspection or a denied insurance claim, and we won’t put our name on that. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a straight answer about your specific PGT unit.
Our PGT Service Process - Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the full window or door: frame, sash, glass, hardware, and the rough opening around it. We measure the square and plumb, check the sealant lines, and test the operation. For PGT impact products, we verify that the unit still carries its Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance label or Florida Product Approval sticker, because without that label, a Pompano Beach code inspector will flag it.
- 2
Repair or replacement planning. We put the scope on paper with line-item pricing. You see the exact parts, the labor, and the warranty terms before we start. No verbal estimates, no change orders after the fact.
- 3
Repair or install. We do the work with the right tools and the right parts. If we’re installing new PGT impact windows or doors, we modify the rough opening properly for Pompano Beach’s concrete-block homes, flash and seal to spec, and set the unit true. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 4
Testing and warranty registration. We operate the unit through its full travel, check the seals, and run a water test where it matters. Then we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation. The Done Right Promise means if it isn’t right, we fix it. No paperwork fights, no fine print.
PGT Products We Service & Install in Pompano Beach
We work on the full PGT residential line: WinGuard Aluminum Impact Series, WinGuard Vinyl Impact Series, PremierVue Aluminum Non-Impact Series, and the SpectraGuard Film Series for existing glazing. For Pompano Beach homeowners, the WinGuard impact lines are the most common, especially in the 1950s and 1960s concrete-block ranch homes scattered through the residential interior where original jalousie windows are finally coming out. We also handle large-format PGT impact glass for mid-rise and high-rise condos along the A1A oceanfront and Intracoastal corridors, where hoisting logistics and wind-load design pressures up to 170+ mph change the job. We also provide PGT Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL. Our sub-service emphasis is on hurricane impact windows, wind mitigation and code compliance, and impact entry and French doors. We measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors Service in Pompano Beach
You need replacement if the frame shows stress cracks at the corner welds, the glass unit has lost its seal and fogged, or the sash no longer seats squarely in the frame. Those failures can’t be field-repaired without compromising the impact rating. If the issue is worn rollers, a failed balance, or clogged weep holes, repair is usually the right call. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll inspect your specific units and tell you which path preserves your wind mitigation credits.
In most cases, yes. PGT WinGuard impact windows use a laminated glass make-up, so a crack in the outer ply often leaves the inner ply intact and the unit still performing its impact function. We remove the sash, replace the glass unit with a new one that matches the original make-up and thickness, and reset the glazing with proper setting blocks and sealant. If the sash frame itself is damaged, reglazing isn’t enough, and we’ll tell you that plainly. Call (863) 591-8673 for an honest assessment.
Salt air is the culprit. Within a half-mile of the Atlantic in Pompano Beach, fine salt film accumulates on aluminum tracks and hardware, corroding glides and rollers and causing the sash to bind. The fix is cleaning and polishing the tracks, replacing the worn hardware with corrosion-resistant parts, and re-lubricating with a dry lubricant that won’t attract sand. It’s a common repair for us on oceanfront and Intracoastal properties. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll get your windows moving cleanly again.
Yes. We replace torn or bent PGT impact window screens, and we use original PGT screen frames and mesh when available to ensure a proper fit in the screen track. We also stock aftermarket screening in standard colors for faster turnaround when the OEM part is backordered. Either way, the screen will fit the opening correctly and hold up to Pompano Beach’s wind and sun. Call (863) 591-8673 to schedule a screen replacement or to get a quote.
They affect everything. Pompano Beach sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two counties in the U.S. where every replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval and pass a Broward County permit inspection. Any repair we do on an impact-rated PGT unit must preserve that approval. That’s why we use OEM parts on critical components, verify the unit’s label before we touch it, and pull permits when the scope requires it. Call (863) 591-8673 if you’re unsure whether your PGT repair needs a permit, and we’ll walk you through it.
PGT repair costs in Pompano Beach typically run $150 to $450 for common hardware fixes like roller replacement, balance swaps, and weatherstripping. Full glass unit replacement on a WinGuard impact window runs higher, often $600 to $1,400 depending on size and glass make-up. Complete impact window replacement for a concrete-block home starts around $900 to $1,800 per opening, installed. For an exact quote on your specific PGT product, call (863) 591-8673. Our estimates are free, written, and line-itemed, so you see every dollar before you commit.
