PGT Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service and rebuild PGT windows and doors across Lighthouse Point, from canal-front ranches off Northeast 25th Avenue to interior streets where the salt still finds a way in. For homes that need new units, our Lighthouse Point Window Installation and door crews know the local conditions firsthand. TruePane is an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so we repair what can be repaired and tell you plainly when a full-frame replacement is the only call. The thing that sets our Lighthouse Point work apart is simple: we know this city’s canal-side corrosion and HVHZ permit demands well enough to quote the job honestly the first time. Call (954) 280-4413.
Why Lighthouse Point Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Fort Lauderdale’s Sailboat Bend, watching his father reseal jalousie windows in humidity thick enough to chew. That’s how a second-generation glazier ends up running crews that have pulled hundreds of failed PGT frames from Lighthouse Point homes over the years. We know WinGuard and ClassicVue extrusions the way a mechanic knows a certain engine block, which means we arrive knowing what we’re looking for instead of learning on your dime.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a truck is loaded. For Lighthouse Point homeowners, that matters because mid-century CBS rough openings are rarely square, and PGT impact units don’t forgive a sloppy measurement. We register both warranty layers in writing before leaving the driveway under The Keystone Standard, and every job carries the Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s been the founding rule since 2008, and it governs every PGT service call in this city.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lighthouse Point
- Salt-air pitting and aluminum exfoliation on WinGuard and ClassicVue frames. Within three to five years on canal-facing elevations, white aluminum begins to bubble and flake where salt spray sits. We see this on nearly every original PGT frame along Lighthouse Point’s canals. If the extrusion is still sound, we clean and seal it. If it’s rotted through, patching it only guarantees a failed inspection later.
- Fogged glass in SpectraGuard units. Constant humidity off the Intracoastal and the canal grid pushes moisture into insulated glass units faster here than nearly anywhere else in Broward. When the edge seal fails, you get condensation between panes that no amount of wiping fixes. We replace the IGU with genuine PGT glass when the frame is serviceable.
- Corroded sill pans and hardware on older PGT sliding doors. Doors installed before marine-grade coatings became standard take the worst of it on the water side of the house. Rollers seize, multi-point locks bind, and thresholds rot from underneath. We rebuild with OEM hardware and marine-grade clips where the door itself still has life.
- Binding sashes and failed latching on double-hung and sliding units. When an original 1960s window buck has dropped out of square, a new PGT impact frame gets twisted as it’s set. You end up with a sash that won’t close, a latch that won’t engage, and an inspector who won’t sign off. We cut out and re-frame the opening before the new unit goes in.
- Hurricane non-compliance on original thin-profile aluminum windows. Many Lighthouse Point ranches still carry single-pane sliders and jalousies that predate Broward’s HVHZ code. They won’t pass a wind mitigation inspection, and they won’t protect the house. We replace them with NOA-approved PGT impact units sized correctly for the opening.
PGT Service in Lighthouse Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most county-wide installers won’t tell you: Lighthouse Point is the only Broward municipality where the building department requires a completed Broward County EPGM wind-load calculation for any window or door replacement on a canal-front lot, even when the product already carries a generic Miami-Dade NOA. The Intracoastal-facing elevations sit inside a locally defined salt-spray exposure zone that no other city in the county maps by parcel. So a PGT WinGuard unit that passes inspection in Pompano Beach might not clear Lighthouse Point’s own review without that additional calculation on file.
Our crew pulled a 1960s jalousie window from a concrete-block ranch on Northeast 25th Avenue, just feet from the canal, and found the original PGT ClassicVue aluminum frame so salt-corroded that the buck itself had dropped three-eighths of an inch out of square. We cut the old buck out, re-framed the rough opening with pressure-treated lumber, and set a custom-sized PGT WinGuard impact window with stainless hardware. Two days of structural prep, and the HVHZ inspection passed on the first try. That’s what PGT service in Lighthouse Point actually looks like when the opening is fifty years old and the canal is twenty feet away.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Lighthouse Point
We service the PGT line families most common in Lighthouse Point homes: WinGuard impact windows and doors, SpectraGuard insulated units, the PGT 5500 Series, and ClassicVue aluminum frames. Our parts shelf carries genuine PGT OEM hardware, IGU replacements, and marine-grade clips sized for these models, so most Lighthouse Point service calls don’t wait on a distributor order.
We’re clear about the line between repair and replacement. A sound PGT frame gets rebuilt with OEM parts. A salt-rotted extrusion gets recommended for full-frame replacement with a new PGT impact unit, because rebuilding corroded aluminum in this HVHZ city guarantees a failed inspection or a water leak down the road. That’s not upselling. That’s knowing what salt does to metal over decades.
PGT Service Pricing in Lighthouse Point
PGT service pricing in Lighthouse Point runs from about $180 for a basic hardware repair or single-panel realignment up to $1,500 or more for a full-frame PGT impact window replacement, depending on size, model, and whether the existing buck needs structural work. IGU replacement on a fogged SpectraGuard unit typically lands between $350 and $700 per sash. Canal-front homes with corroded bucks and custom sizing push toward the higher end.
We’ll quote your job in writing before any work begins, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered and durations stated. A free estimate includes measuring the openings, checking the frames, and a straight answer on whether repair or replacement is the smarter spend. Call (954) 280-4413 for your exact number.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Yes. WinGuard units on canal-front lots should be set with stainless steel or marine-grade hardware, not the standard zinc-plated fasteners used inland, because salt spray from the Intracoastal and the canal grid corrodes standard hardware within a few years. We stock marine-grade clips and stainless fasteners specifically for Lighthouse Point Door Installation and window projects, using them on every water-side elevation we touch. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you exactly what your house needs.
Lighthouse Point’s building department requires a completed Broward County EPGM wind-load calculation for window and door replacements on canal-front lots, even when the product carries a generic Miami-Dade NOA. The city maps salt-spray exposure zones by parcel, and Intracoastal-facing elevations sit inside that zone. Your product may be code-approved, but the lot-specific calculation still has to be on file. We handle that paperwork as part of the job. Call (954) 280-4413 for help sorting it out.
If the frame is still sound, we replace only the insulated glass unit with genuine PGT IGU replacement glass. The frame, sash, and hardware stay in place. If the frame itself is salt-corroded or the seal failure caused water damage to the extrusion, a full replacement makes more sense than pouring money into a failing frame. We’ll show you the condition of the frame before you decide. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a look.
On canal-front elevations in Lighthouse Point, expect hardware to need attention every five to seven years, sometimes sooner on the water side of the house. Rollers, multi-point locks, and sill pans take the brunt of salt air, and original zinc hardware from older installs corrodes faster. Frames with marine-grade hardware and regular cleaning last significantly longer. A maintenance visit catches problems before a door stops latching. We offer one for $89.
Most 1960s Lighthouse Point ranches have non-standard rough openings that were framed for thin-profile jalousies and single-track sliders. PGT impact units are deeper and heavier, so the original opening usually needs to be re-framed or re-bucked before the new window can be set square and pass HVHZ inspection. We’ll measure and tell you whether yours can take a retrofit or needs a full-frame install. Estimates are free at (954) 280-4413.
