AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Lantana, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Lantana, from WinGuard impact units to older SpectraGuard and ClassicVue lines. The one thing that makes our PGT work here different is knowing exactly what the Lake Worth Lagoon’s salt air does to frames, rollers, and seals within five to seven years. That’s not a guess, it’s a pattern we’ve documented on hundreds of Lantana homes since 2008. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on any PGT repair or replacement.
Why Lantana Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’ve handled our Window Installation in Lantana and PGT products long enough to know which parts fail first and why. We stock marine-grade hardware and OEM-compatible parts for the lines most common here, so we’re not ordering basics from a warehouse while your window stays taped shut. Our techs measure twice, quote manufacturer lines on paper, and register both warranty layers before leaving the driveway.
Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in Sailboat Bend and went through the construction and building trades program at McFatter Technical College in Davie before spending two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor. So when we tell a Lantana homeowner their PGT roller assemblies are pitting from wind-driven salt, it’s because we’ve pulled a hundred of them apart with our own hands.
We’re an independent PGT service provider. That matters. We’re not tied to a manufacturer’s sales targets, so our recommendation comes down to what will hold up in your particular spot near the Intracoastal, not what moves inventory.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lantana
- Chalky white pitting and frame corrosion. PGT aluminum frames in Lantana start showing pitting along the bottom track and weep holes within five to seven years when they lack a marine-grade anodized or painted finish. It’s the salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon, plain and simple. We clean, treat, and reseal where the frame is sound, and tell you straight when it’s not.
- Seized or grinding sliding door rollers. Original PGT sliders from the 1990s in Lantana’s CBS homes are notorious for steel roller assemblies that rust into scrap. Fine wind-driven salt works its way into the track and eats the bearings. We swap in marine-grade stainless rollers that actually belong in this environment.
- Fogged double-pane IG units. PGT’s insulated glass edge seals fail early in Lantana’s high-humidity marine air. Interior fogging on a unit that’s only eight years old is a seal failure, not a cleaning problem, and it’s often not covered under the original warranty. We source OEM replacement IGUs when available and handle the full swap.
- Broken jalousie clips and lost glass louvers. Lantana still has a share of original 1960s-70s PGT jalousie-style windows, and the aluminum clips that hold the louvers eventually crack and fail. These windows provide zero hurricane protection. Repair isn’t the answer. We full-frame replace them with PGT WinGuard impact casements or fixed units built for today’s code.
- Mismatched replacement sashes and frame color drift. When one sash on a 2005 PGT window fails and the homeowner calls around, the usual answer is “we can’t match the color.” We can, or we’ll tell you the closest achievable match before we order anything. No surprises after the glass is cut.
PGT Service in Lantana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what most window companies won’t tell you about Lantana, and it changes how PGT service works here. Unlike inland Palm Beach County cities like Atlantis or Greenacres, nearly every Lantana home sits within a half-mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon. That means salt-laden wind and rain hit your frames daily, not just during storms. PGT aluminum without a marine-grade finish shows pitting along the bottom track and weep holes within five years, a pattern we simply don’t see a few miles west.
Add the older housing stock, and you get a second wrinkle. Homes near Lantana Road and Broadway, built in the 1950s through 1970s as concrete block stucco ranches, often have window rough openings cut to non-standard dimensions. Slightly narrower than modern nominal sizes. So an off-the-shelf PGT unit won’t drop in. It needs to be modified or custom-ordered, which adds lead time homeowners don’t expect. We measure every opening twice and tell you the real timeline up front.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Lantana
We service PGT’s WinGuard, SpectraGuard, ClassicVue, and Series 7600 lines across Lantana. WinGuard is the impact-rated workhorse most homeowners know. SpectraGuard and ClassicVue show up on older and mid-range homes. Series 7600 is the builder-grade line we see on 1990s and early 2000s construction.
Our parts approach is straightforward. We use PGT OEM replacement hardware and glass kits whenever distributor networks have them. For Lantana’s corrosive environment, we specify marine-grade aftermarket stainless steel rollers, hinges, and lock sets where the original parts were steel and we know they’ll fail again. We keep common parts stocked locally so most Lantana jobs don’t wait on a freight shipment. Full PGT sales and service details are on our PGT sales & service page.
PGT Service Pricing in Lantana
Most PGT repairs in Lantana fall into predictable ranges. A roller assembly swap on a sliding door runs $180 to $340. A sash replacement, depending on glass and finish, lands between $300 and $600. Replacing a double-pane IGU on a fogged window runs $350 to $750 per unit. Full-frame replacement with a new PGT WinGuard impact window runs $900 to $2,400 per opening, driven by size, custom-width work common in Lantana’s older CBS homes, and installation labor.
We don’t pad quotes. Our free estimate is written, line-itemed, and fixed before work starts. The price on the estimate is the price on the bill. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come out, measure, and put the numbers on paper with no obligation.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Lantana
Chalky white pitting is aluminum oxidation, and in Lantana it’s accelerated by salt deposition from the Lake Worth Lagoon’s marine air. A standard PGT frame finish without additional marine protection begins showing this within five to seven years here. It’s a cosmetic issue at first, but left unchecked, the pitting deepens around weep holes and fasteners until the frame loses structural integrity. We can treat and reseal early-stage oxidation. Advanced corrosion means replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 for an honest assessment.
Almost certainly yes. Original steel rollers in those 1990s PGT sliders seize up from the fine salt grit blown in from the Intracoastal. We replace them with marine-grade stainless roller assemblies and clean the track properly. The door usually slides better than it has in years. Exact cost depends on the door size, but most roller swaps and our Door Installation in Lantana run between $180 and $340.
Usually, yes. PGT’s baked-on frame finishes from that era are matchable as long as the original color hasn’t been discontinued. We’ll check the manufacturer’s current finish options before ordering, and if there’s a slight variance from sun and salt fading, we’ll show you a sample before we order the sash. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before we cut anything.
Lantana is a real town, not unincorporated county land, so we pull permits through the town’s building process in addition to Palm Beach County code. Any window replacement here must meet Florida Building Code impact-rated product requirements given Lantana’s wind-borne debris zone. We pull the permits, schedule inspections, and hand you the paperwork when it passes.
Eight years is early for a good IGU, but not unusual in Lantana’s high-humidity marine environment. The edge seal has failed, allowing moisture between the panes. Impact rating doesn’t protect the seal itself. If it’s inside the original PGT warranty period, we’ll help you document the claim. If not, we replace the IGU itself, which is a fraction of full window cost. Call (954) 280-4413 for a replacement quote.
