PGT Windows & Doors in Jupiter Inlet Colony, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT service across Jupiter Inlet Colony, from Lighthouse Drive down to the inlet side. The one thing that makes PGT work different here is the dual-salt-air condition: this town sits where the Atlantic and Jupiter Inlet both feed corrosive aerosol onto every elevation of every house. If you own PGT windows or doors in Jupiter Inlet Colony, you need a service crew that understands both ocean-facing and inlet-facing corrosion, along with the impact-rating requirements that come with living on this barrier island.

Why Jupiter Inlet Colony Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Dale Kessler has been measuring, sourcing, and setting PGT windows and doors across Palm Beach County’s barrier islands for going on three decades. He trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening slowly and without guessing, and he still measures every job himself. Our crews have serviced and replaced PGT windows and doors across Palm Beach County’s dual-corrosion barrier islands for over a decade, giving us hands-on familiarity with how PGT’s WinGuard, ClassicVue, and 400 Series lines behave under Jupiter Inlet Colony’s unique salt-spray load. We are an independent PGT service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we work for you, not the factory. When a PGT unit fails in Jupiter Inlet Colony, we source genuine PGT replacement hardware, seals, and IGUs from PGT’s own service network when available. For out-of-production or discontinued PGT frames, we use precision-fit aftermarket components that match OEM dimensional and finish tolerances. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Jupiter Inlet Colony
- Fogged or delaminated IGUs on PGT fixed and sliding units. The constant dual-direction salt spray here attacks IGU edge seals from both the ocean side and the inlet side. Seals delaminate prematurely, leaving visible fogging or white silicate films between the glass. In Jupiter Inlet Colony, we see this on PGT ClassicVue fixed units within a fraction of the mainland lifespan.
- Seized multi-point locking hardware on PGT WinGuard sliders. Salt-and-sand intrusion works into the multi-point lock mechanisms on sliding glass doors. Homeowners often assume the west, inlet-facing sliders are sheltered from ocean weather, but tidal inlet spray hits those leeward openings directly. We routinely find inlet-side PGT sliders with hardware corrosion equal to the ocean side.
- Oxidized aluminum frames on both elevations. Salt-laden air rapidly oxidizes PGT’s aluminum frames. It is not just the ocean-facing east side. The inlet-facing west side corrodes at nearly the same rate because Jupiter Inlet Colony is the only town in Palm Beach County where two active bodies of salt water meet within 500 feet of every single home lot.
- Grinding or binding PGT impact casement and awning operators. Inlet-driven salt mist penetrates the hardware openings on crank mechanisms and hinges. The operator grinds, then binds, then fails. This is one of the most common service calls we receive from Jupiter Inlet Colony homeowners with PGT impact casement windows.
- Salt-pitted PGT sliding door rollers and tracks. The rollers on PGT WinGuard sliding glass doors seize from salt-and-sand intrusion, even on the west side facing the inlet. Tracks get pitted. Doors become hard to move, then stop moving entirely. On Lighthouse Drive, we replaced a 1982 aluminum-frame slider with a PGT WinGuard impact sliding glass door. The west-facing track was so salt-pitted that the original rollers had eaten through the aluminum, and the multi-point lock would not fully engage. Our crew installed new PGT rollers, rebuilt the threshold, and replaced the full panel after confirming the frame had also lost its impact rating.
PGT Service in Jupiter Inlet Colony: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Jupiter Inlet Colony is the only town in Palm Beach County where two active bodies of salt water, the Atlantic and Jupiter Inlet, meet within 500 feet of every single home lot. That produces a bidirectional salt aerosol that coats all window and door elevations, year-round. For PGT owners, that means your west-facing sliders are not protected by being on the leeward side. Our techs routinely find inlet-side PGT sliders with corrosion equal to the ocean side, something neighboring Jupiter or Tequesta homes do not experience. Homes in Jupiter Inlet Colony were mostly built from the 1950s through the 1980s. The original aluminum-frame windows and large sliding glass doors have endured decades of this dual-salt exposure and are now well past their serviceable life. Renovation and estate-upgrade projects dominate, with homeowners replacing degraded original units with PGT, CGI, or equivalent impact-rated systems to meet current Palm Beach County coastal code. Florida’s windborne-debris zone requirements mandate fully impact-rated glazing throughout, so a standard window replacement job here is legally and practically a full impact-upgrade project on all sides of the home. During the Lighthouse Drive replacement, we treated the new PGT unit’s hardware with marine corrosion inhibitor because the inlet-side spray had already etched the nearby PGT ClassicVue frame. That is the level of attention this town requires.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Jupiter Inlet Colony
We service and replace the full range of PGT residential lines, including PGT WinGuard impact windows and sliding glass doors, PGT ClassicVue, PGT 400 Series, and PGT 770 Series. When parts are needed, we source genuine PGT replacement hardware, seals, and IGUs from PGT’s own service network when available. For discontinued PGT frames, we use precision-fit aftermarket components that match OEM dimensional and finish tolerances rather than universal hardware that never quite seats right. We always recommend full-panel replacement rather than reglazing when a PGT unit shows both seal failure and frame corrosion, because reglazing cannot restore the structural impact certification. That certification is what your Palm Beach County coastal code depends on. We also stock common PGT rollers, locks, and seal components locally to speed up turnaround for Jupiter Inlet Colony service calls. See our PGT sales & service page for more detail on our approach.
PGT Service Pricing in Jupiter Inlet Colony
What you will pay for PGT service in Jupiter Inlet Colony depends on what failed and whether the unit is under warranty. A simple hardware replacement like rollers or a lock on a PGT slider typically runs between $180 and $340. Replacing an IGU on a PGT fixed window usually falls between $350 and $900 depending on size and glass type. Full panel replacement, which is what we recommend when both seal failure and frame corrosion are present, runs from $1,200 to $3,800 per opening depending on the model and impact rating. A free estimate from us includes walking the full perimeter, not just the elevation that prompted the call, because of the dual-salt-air condition in Jupiter Inlet Colony. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written, line-item quote. Estimates are free, and a live person answers.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Jupiter Inlet Colony
Jupiter Inlet Colony’s geography puts the Atlantic on your east side and the tidal Jupiter Inlet on your west side, so both elevations receive constant salt aerosol. The inlet side is not sheltered; tidal spray hits it directly. That is why we treat every elevation with marine corrosion inhibitor and why we always walk the full perimeter during an estimate.
Not necessarily. If the frame is structurally sound and the equipment is still within its impact rating, we can often replace the IGU and restore the unit. But if we find both seal failure and frame corrosion, full-panel replacement is the only way to preserve the structural impact certification that Palm Beach County coastal code requires. We will show you the difference on paper before you commit.
In most Jupiter Inlet Colony homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, no. The original aluminum frames were not designed for modern impact-rated glazing, and decades of dual-direction salt exposure have compromised them. Florida’s windborne-debris zone requirements mandate fully impact-rated glazing throughout, so this is usually a full-panel replacement, not a glass swap.
Palm Beach County coastal code governs impact-rated window and Jupiter Inlet Colony Door Installation replacements, and permits are required. We pull the permits and coordinate inspections as part of the job. You should not have to chase paperwork on top of everything else. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will explain the process for your specific property.
Seized multi-point locks and salt-pitted rollers on PGT WinGuard sliding glass doors, most often on the inlet-facing west side. The same salt-and-sand intrusion that pits the track binds the lock. Replacement hardware typically costs between $180 and $340, and we stock common PGT rollers and locks locally for faster turnaround. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
