We service PGT windows and doors across Tequesta as Pgt specialists and an independent provider, not a factory-authorized shop. What makes our work here different is simple: we know what the Jupiter Inlet’s salt air does to PGT aluminum frames on 1970s CBS homes, because we’ve been rebuilding those openings for years. If your PGT unit is binding, corroding, or failing at the corners, call (954) 280-4413 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Tequesta Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Dale Kessler grew up watching his father reseal jalousie windows in Fort Lauderdale and curse the humidity. That’s more or less how he ended up in the trade, and after more than four decades working glass and framing in South Florida’s coastal corridor, he still measures twice before a crew ever touches a truck. The rule on the whiteboard hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We’re not a franchise van that rolls through town twice a year for our Window Installation in Tequesta. Our techs live and work in this part of Palm Beach County, and we’ve spent years on Tequesta’s CBS ranch and split-level homes pulling original PGT single-pane frames corroded by estuary salt and rebuilding openings for modern impact units. We carry PGT OEM extrusions and hardware where sealing and structural match matter, and we stock marine-grade aftermarket parts for discontinued 1990s models that no factory line still supports.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Tequesta
- Corner key failure on PGT WinGuard sliders. Salt air off the Loxahatchee River estuary works into the screw bosses on aluminum frames, pitting the metal until corner keys snap. The sash sags, the panel binds on the track, and eventually it won’t lock. We see this on Tequesta homes from Riverside Drive to Country Club Drive, not just waterfront lots.
- Edge seal failure on PGT SpectraGuard infill units. When original single-pane windows were retrofitted without correcting drainage, moisture sits at the bottom of the glass pack. The seal fails, fog creeps in, and the unit loses its insulating gas. Full replacement is almost always cheaper than chasing a seal repair on a unit already compromised by Tequesta’s humidity.
- Balance shoe and pivot bar wear on PGT double-hung units. Older Tequesta homes with jalousie-era rough openings don’t stay square. The frames rack under wind load, which grinds down balance shoes and bends pivot bars. The window won’t stay up, or it slams shut. We reframe the opening to square before setting new hardware, because replacing parts without fixing the rack just repeats the failure.
- Roller and track galling on PGT sliding glass doors. Wind-blown sand off the dunes near Coral Cove Park gets into door tracks and acts like sandpaper. Rollers gall, tracks score, and the door gets harder to move every season. We replace with sealed stainless rollers and clean the track bed properly, not just lubricate over the damage.
- Failed jalousie-to-impact conversions. A lot of Tequesta homes still have original louvered jalousie windows, which are non-compliant under current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements and uninsurable as-is. When those get swapped for PGT impact units without proper reframing, the new window sits in an opening that was never built to carry it. We demolish and reframe those walls correctly the first time.
PGT Service in Tequesta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Tequesta is only about two square miles, and it sits entirely along the Intracoastal Waterway and the Loxahatchee River estuary near the Jupiter Inlet. That means virtually every parcel in the village, not just the waterfront lots, falls inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region at design wind speeds exceeding 160 mph. There is no safe inland zone here. If you own a home in Tequesta, impact-rated windows and doors are a code and insurance reality, not an upgrade choice. And because the village is so small, code enforcement tracks replacement permits block-by-block. A missing PGT Florida Product Approval label on a 1970s CBS home on Riverside Drive gets flagged faster than an unpermitted pool pump. We pull permits, we register both warranty layers in writing, and we make sure the paperwork matches the work before the truck leaves your driveway.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Tequesta
We work on the full residential PGT line: WinGuard impact units, SpectraGuard insulated windows, ClassicVue single-hung and picture windows, and the 770 Series. For current-production models, we use PGT OEM extrusions and hardware where sealing and structural integrity depend on exact fit. For discontinued 1990s parts, we stock marine-grade aftermarket rollers, weatherstripping, and balance systems that outperform the original salt-coastal spec. If a unit needs both glass and frame work, we price full-frame replacement against patching. In Tequesta, replacement usually wins.
PGT Service Pricing in Tequesta
PGT service costs in Tequesta vary by scope. A straightforward seal or hardware fix on a single unit typically runs lower than a full jalousie wall reframe, which involves demolition, rough opening reconstruction, new PGT impact units, and finish work. What drives the price here is the corrosion factor: frames pitted by estuary salt often can’t be patched, so the real cost is the full unit, not the band-aid. A free estimate from us means we look at the actual opening, give you a written line-item quote, and tell you if repair makes sense or if replacement is the honest answer. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact number.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Tequesta
The Loxahatchee River estuary and Jupiter Inlet push tidal salt air across the entire village, and that air penetrates well beyond the waterfront. It works into the screw bosses on aluminum frames, pitting the metal and breaking down the corner keys that hold the sash square. An inland Palm Beach County home twenty miles west deals with humidity but far less airborne salt. Give us a call at (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you if your corner keys are salvageable or if the frame has gone too far.
No, not in most Tequesta homes. Once the aluminum frame pitting reaches the screw bosses, the structural integrity of the frame is gone. The glass may be fine, but the unit can’t hold its rating, and a pitted frame will keep failing at the corners. We’ll show you the damage and price full-frame replacement against repeated patch work. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free assessment.
Yes, and for a similar reason: coastal salt air and humidity shorten seal life. But Tequesta has the added variable of older 1970s and 1980s CBS homes where original window openings weren’t built for modern insulated units. When drainage isn’t corrected, moisture sits at the glass edge and the seal fails early. Schedule a check with us at (954) 280-4413 before fog shows up, and we’ll tell you what you’re working with.
Inspectors in Tequesta require a PGT Florida Product Approval label on any impact unit and proof that the rough opening was reframed to square before the window went in. A jalousie opening is too shallow and too flimsy for a modern impact frame, so full demolition and reframing is standard. We handle the permit and the inspection, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through the paperwork.
Waterfront homes face more direct salt exposure, but in Tequesta the whole village is within two square miles of the Intracoastal. Every slider in the village benefits from the same maintenance: cleaning and inspecting tracks regularly, checking corner keys for early pitting, and replacing rollers before they gall. If you’re not sure when yours were last serviced, our maintenance check covers the inspection. Call (954) 280-4413 to book it.
