PGT Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

PGT roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $450 and $1,850 depending on whether we’re resetting a slipped panel, replacing a damaged skylight curb, or reflashing the entire perimeter. Most PGT roof-related repairs are completed in one visit by a technician who understands the fastening schedules and sealant chemistry PGT specifies. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a factory arm, and our pricing is written on paper before we touch the roof.

Call (954) 280-4413

This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who own a PGT window, door, or skylight and have noticed water, sagging flashing, or a seal that no longer closes the way it did when it was installed. If that’s you, call (954) 280-4413 and you’ll get a live person, not a recording.

• Fort Lauderdale’s salt air and afternoon downpours punish roof flashing faster than inland installs.
• Our quote is fixed before work starts. No change orders, no “we found rot” upcharge games.
• Every job carries the Done Right Promise in writing.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a serious impact product. Most of what we see on Fort Lauderdale roofs is not a manufacturing defect. It’s what twenty Florida summers do to the interface between the unit and the deck. Here are the failure modes we handle most on PGT roof work.

• WinGuard fixed roof glass with perimeter seal failure. The factory seal between the laminated glass pack and the aluminum frame is stout, but the butyl and silicone that marry the frame to the roof curb breaks down under UV and standing water. We see this on flat and low-slope decks in Rio Vista and Las Olas Isles. Our fix: strip the old sealant clean, reset the unit on new setting blocks, and lay a two-stage sealant joint with correct slope so water doesn’t pool against the frame.
• PGT sliding glass doors on second-story decks. The 380 and 880 series sliding doors are common on elevated lanais and rooftop decks. The weak point isn’t the door panel itself; it’s the sub-sill flashing beneath the track. Fort Lauderdale’s monsoon afternoons send water sideways, and once the sub-sill pan corrodes, water walks underneath the track and into the joist system. We pull the door, replace the sub-sill with a proper slope-to-drain pan, and reinstall.
• Roof curb rot under older PGT cladding. On homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s, the original curb was often framed with untreated dimensional lumber and wrapped in aluminum that eventually pinholes. By the time the homeowner sees a water stain on the ceiling, the curb is spongy. We rebuild the curb with pressure-treated stock, cap it with bent copper or PVC-coated aluminum, and remount the PGT unit at the correct reveal.
• Velux-mated PGT skylight flashing that has separated at the corners. PGT and Velux both make a good product, but the corner joints where flashing pieces overlap are the first place wind-driven rain finds its way in. On a re-roof, a cheap crew will sometimes reuse stretched-out flashing instead of replacing it. Our repair: new flashing kit matched to the deck profile, with corners lapped the right direction and blind-sealed.
• WinGuard casement and fixed windows mounted in raised roof monitors. We see these on elevated eyebrow roofs in Victoria Park and Colee Hammock. The sash itself is usually fine. What fails is the head flashing on the monitor wall; it was not carrying water past the window’s top flange, and condensation plus leakage started migrating down the king studs. We install a proper Z-flashing with a drip edge that sends water away from the frame, then reset the unit.

Dale Kessler grew up in Sailboat Bend resealing jalousie windows with his father, and he’ll tell you the same thing he tells every PGT owner: if a roof leak shows up near a window or door, the frame is rarely the liar. The flashing is usually the liar.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a PGT roof repair job works when you call TruePane Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale.

1. 1
   The call. You reach a live person at (954) 280-4413. We ask where the leak or damage is, what you’re seeing, and whether you know the PGT model line if possible. We schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   The diagnostic visit. A uniformed, background-checked technician inspects the roof penetration, the flashing, the curb condition, and the unit’s glazing. We do not guess from the ground. We go up, get eyes on it, and pull back flashing where needed.
3. 3
   The parts decision on paper. If the unit needs replacement glazing or hardware, we show you the OEM option and a quality aftermarket option side by side: cost, lead time, and warranty differences written out. No surprise line items later. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
4. 4
   The repair. Flashing, curbs, sealant, hardware, or full unit reset happen the same day in most cases. We work clean, protect the roof membrane, and haul off the old materials.
5. 5
   The water test. Before we call the job done, we run a controlled water test on the repair area and check the interior for any sign of moisture migration. If it leaks under test, it’s not done.
6. 6
   The warranty paperwork. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing with durations stated before our truck leaves your driveway. Your Done Right Promise is on the invoice, in plain words.
