Key Takeaways:

• PGT windows are built for hurricane zones, but their seals, rollers, and hardware still wear out, especially within sight of the Atlantic.
• We are an independent PGT service provider. We install genuine PGT glass and frames, but we are not a PGT factory store.
• Fixed pricing, a live person on the phone around the clock, and the Done Right Promise underwrite every job.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a strong window, but Palm Beach is harder on windows than almost anywhere else in Florida. Salt air, high UV exposure, and storm-driven rain work the edges of even the best products. Here are the five failures we see most often on PGT windows in Palm Beach.

• Clouded or fogged glass on PGT WinGuard aluminum single-hung units. The insulated glass seal fails, letting humidity between the panes. The glass looks hazy, especially in morning light. We replace the glass unit itself, matching the original WinGuard impact rating, rather than asking you to replace the whole frame.
• Sticking or binding sashes on PGT SpectraGuard vinyl windows. Vinyl frames expand and contract with heat. Over ten to fifteen years of Palm Beach sun, SpectraGuard sashes can warp just enough to bind in the track. We check the frame square before assuming it’s a balance issue, because half the time the sash needs replacement, not the balance.
• Failed rollers and tired balances on PGT sliding windows near the Intracoastal. Salt air corrodes roller hardware faster than most homeowners expect. In neighborhoods like El Cid and the North End, we regularly see PGT sliders getting heavy to move by year eight. New rollers and stainless hardware usually bring them back.
• Crank-out PGT casement windows that won’t seal tight. The multi-point lock hardware on PGT casements can drift out of alignment after years of use. When it does, the corner of the sash lifts just enough to let the afternoon sea breeze whistle through. Realignment or replacement of the hardware solves it, and we adjust the entire sash so it closes dead flat.
• Frame rot on older PGT aluminum windows near the coast. Aluminum doesn’t rot, but the perimeter seals do. Once water gets behind the frame, it runs down into the rough opening and attacks the wood framing of the house itself. In Palm Beach, we see this most on older 2000s-era PGT installs where the original flashing was minimal. This is usually a full-frame replacement, because the window and the opening both need work.

Our PGT Window Replacement Process

Here’s how a PGT replacement job works when you call Winslow Windows & Doors.

1. 1
   The call. A real person answers at (561) 782-7525, any hour. We schedule a time that works for you, and if you’re in our home county, there’s no trip charge to come out.
2. 2
   The inspection. We measure the opening, inspect the frame and rough opening, and figure out whether the failure is the glass, the hardware, the sash, or the whole unit. On PGT products, we also check the original mounting and flashing, because half the problems we fix started at installation.
3. 3
   The parts decision. For glass and frames, we use genuine PGT components wherever they’re available, because that protects what’s left of your original warranty. For hardware like rollers and balances, we use PGT parts when lead times are short, and quality aftermarket parts when the OEM part would leave you waiting weeks.
4. 4
   Installation. Whether it’s an insert or a full-frame replacement, we follow the same discipline Ed learned years ago: level the frame, flash it correctly, fasten it right, and seal it completely. The corner of a window is where Palm Beach water finds its way in, so we don’t hurry that part.
5. 5
   Testing and cleanup. We operate every sash, test the locks, and run a water check on the exterior. Then we remove old components and leave the room the way we found it.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.

What PGT Window Replacement Costs in Palm Beach

Here’s what we tell homeowners in Palm Beach before we ever start a job. These are honest ranges for the scenarios we see most often.

• Insulated glass replacement in an existing PGT WinGuard frame: $450-$950 per window, depending on size and whether it’s clear or Low-E coated glass.
• Insert replacement, PGT SpectraGuard vinyl, standard sizes: $900-$1,600 per window installed.
• Full-frame replacement, PGT WinGuard impact-rated, including new flashing and exterior trim: $1,800-$2,800 per opening. The spread depends on frame material, glass package, and whether we need to repair the rough opening.
