AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Jupiter, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Jupiter, and the work here differs from Palm Beach Gardens PGT service and inland Palm Beach County in one specific way: the Jupiter Inlet pushes salt-laden Atlantic air straight into coastal and near-coastal neighborhoods, so PGT aluminum frames corrode faster and fail differently than they do ten miles west. Our technicians repair and replace PGT WinGuard, SpectraGuard, ClassicVue, and 5500 Series units every week, using genuine PGT parts when available and properly sized stainless retrofits when they’re not. If you own PGT windows or doors in Jupiter and something’s binding, leaking, or fogging, call (954) 280-4413 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Jupiter Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’re the independent crew that fixes what other shops won’t touch. A 1994 PGT WinGuard slider with a corroded bottom track isn’t a mystery to us; it’s a Tuesday. We know which PGT part numbers are actually in distribution, which frame extrusions match a mid-1990s installation, and when a full sash replacement costs less than rebuilding a pitted one. Dale Kessler, our owner, learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie and spent the better part of two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor before founding TruePane. The rule he keeps on the whiteboard governs every PGT job we do in Jupiter: if it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall. We are not a PGT dealer and we don’t pretend to be. We’re the service company Jupiter homeowners call when the original installer is gone and the window still needs to work.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Jupiter
- Salt-pitted aluminum frames on 1990s WinGuard sliders. Along the Intracoastal and Loxahatchee River, the constant salt air eats PGT aluminum extrusions. We see roller tracks that have crumbled so completely the sash sits on the frame and won’t move. The fix usually means removing the frame, reframing the rough opening square, and setting a new impact unit.
- Fogged WinGuard impact glass along the bottom edge of fixed picture windows. In Jupiter Farms and other inland neighborhoods, we routinely find seal failure on the lower edge of PGT picture windows, condensation trapped between panes, and a view that’s gone cloudy. The glass unit is sealed; the fix is a replacement IGU, not a wipe-down.
- Clogged weep holes on PGT sliders in Admirals Cove. The frames on these doors are designed to drain. When salt and sand pack the weep holes shut, summer thunderstorms push water back into the frame and it rots the interior sill. We clear the tracks, replace damaged weatherstripping, and reseal the rough opening so it drains properly again.
- Broken balancers on PGT single-hung windows in Abacoa. Second-story bedroom windows in Abacoa townhomes take a beating. A failed balancer on a PGT single-hung means the sash drops hard or won’t stay up. We replace balancers with genuine PGT parts when available, so the window holds and operates like it did when it was installed.
- Binding PGT sliding doors every summer near the Intracoastal. Aluminum expands in heat and swells with corrosion. In Jupiter’s waterfront corridor, we see PGT 5500 Series doors that slide fine in January and bind shut by July. The answer is rarely a new door; it’s usually new stainless rollers and a realignment of the track.
PGT Service in Jupiter: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Jupiter is one of the few Palm Beach County cities where the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region extends more than a mile inland. The Jupiter Inlet doesn’t just sit at the coast; it funnels open-ocean winds directly westward into residential neighborhoods. That means Abacoa homes three miles from the beach need PGT impact glazing on all elevations, not just the Intracoastal-facing side. We’ve replaced PGT WinGuard units on Soundings Drive where the original 1980s frames were so salt-pitted the bottom tracks crumbled into white powder, similar to what we see with Pgt repair in North Palm Beach. The rough openings had to be reframed before any new impact unit could be set. That’s routine work in Jupiter’s waterfront corridor, and it’s one reason our crews carry framing lumber and concrete anchors on every PGT service call, not just the glass tools.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Jupiter
We service the PGT product lines most common in Jupiter homes built during the 1980s and 1990s: WinGuard aluminum impact windows and sliding glass doors, SpectraGuard double-pane insulated vinyl windows, ClassicVue single-hung and picture windows, and 5500 Series sliding glass doors. When a roller, balancer, latch, or weatherstripping fails, we use genuine PGT replacement parts whenever the original component is still available through distribution. They match the original sightlines and hardware holes exactly. When PGT door rollers are discontinued or backordered, we retrofit quality aftermarket stainless-steel sets sized specifically for the 5500 and WinGuard series, and we always tell you if a full sash replacement would cost less than rebuilding a corroded one. For the full picture on what we offer, see our PGT sales & service page.
PGT Service Pricing in Jupiter
PGT window and door repair in Jupiter typically runs between $180 and $550 per unit depending on the failure, and full replacement work starts higher because impact-rated products cost what they cost.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Jupiter
Most 1990s PGT WinGuard units were built with impact ratings that still meet today’s Florida Building Code for Jupiter’s wind zone, but the frame condition is the real question. Salt corrosion along the Intracoastal can compromise the aluminum extrusion even when the glass is fine. We’ll check the Florida Product Approval number printed in the corner of your glass and tell you honestly whether your existing units still qualify for wind mitigation credit or need replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 to have us look at yours.
Aluminum expands in heat and swells with salt corrosion. Jupiter’s summer heat plus the Inlet’s salt air makes PGT frames move more than the track was designed to allow. In nearly every case, the fix is new stainless steel rollers sized for the 5500 or WinGuard series and a track realignment. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you if that’s what yours needs.
No. Hurricane protection credit applies per opening, not to the whole house at once. You can replace one PGT window this year and another next year and still earn credit for each opening as it’s completed. What matters is that each new unit carries a Florida Product Approval number and meets Jupiter’s wind-borne debris requirements, which extend more than a mile inland because of how the Inlet channels wind.
Look at the corner of the glass. Impact-rated PGT glass carries a permanent etched mark with the Florida Product Approval number and the impact rating, usually reading something like “PGT WinGuard” followed by the approval digits. Standard tempered glass shows only a tempering mark. If you can’t read the etching or want a professional read on what you have, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll check it on site.
An insert replacement fits a new PGT window inside the existing frame; it’s faster and costs less, but it only works when the existing frame is still square and structurally sound. A full-frame tear-out removes the old frame down to the rough opening and starts fresh. In Jupiter’s waterfront corridor, where 1980s PGT frames are often salt-pitted beyond repair, a full-frame replacement is usually the only honest option, unlike Pgt service in Palm Beach where conditions vary. We’ll tell you which one your home actually needs, and we’ll show you why on paper. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate either way.
