We’re not the manufacturer and we don’t pretend to be. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent PGT service provider, which means we work for you, not for a factory warranty department. Our PGT sales & service expertise comes from taking apart and rebuilding these units in Seminole County homes for years. We serve the whole Longwood service area, from the historic core to the Wekiva tracts.

Why Longwood Residents Choose Us for PGT Service

Most window companies in Central Florida can order a PGT unit from a supply house. Fewer can tell you why your WinGuard casement sash is binding in August, or whether that fogged IGU is worth repairing or replacing. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail before he ever picked up a paycheck, and he trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program learning to read a rough opening the way a doctor reads an X-ray. He has been setting windows in Florida for going on three decades, and he still measures every job himself.

What that means for a Longwood homeowner is this: when our tech pulls your PGT sash and finds the real problem, you get a straight answer about repair versus replace. We use OEM PGT parts for any WinGuard impact component and any sash, roller, or lock that must meet code. We reserve quality aftermarket hardware for non-impact cosmetic parts only when the originals are discontinued. And if the frame is structurally sound, we’ll rebuild the sash and swap the rollers rather than sell you a full replacement you don’t need. If the rough opening has settled out of square beyond factory tolerance after 40-plus years, we’ll tell you that too, and explain why a full-frame replacement is the only way to restore watertightness and wind-load compliance.

Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. No arguing later about what was covered.

Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Longwood

Here’s what we see most often on PGT units in Longwood, tied to why it happens here specifically:

• Roller failure in sliding and Eze-Breeze tracks. Fine sand and debris migrate through the original 1970s window trim gaps common in Sanlando Springs and the Wekiva-area tract homes. That grit grinds down PGT rollers until the sash drags or jumps the track. We stock OEM roller assemblies for fast turnaround.
• Interior condensation and IGU fogging. Older PGT insulated glass breaks down at the edge seal after decades of daily heat-cool cycling under Central Florida’s intense UV. The inland humidity doesn’t help. If the frame is sound, we replace the IGU. If the frame is compromised, we talk replacement.
• Weep hole and drain channel blockage. After heavy afternoon thunderstorms, blocked weep holes on PGT fixed and casement windows let water back up into the rough opening. This is especially common in CBS ranch homes with shallow or improperly flashed openings from the original build. We clear the channels, verify drainage, and re-flash where needed.
• Sticking or misaligned sash on 4000 Series hung windows. In Longwood Historic Village homes, plaque-era trim swells with high humidity and puts torsion on frame corners. The sash binds. We realign, replace worn balances, and where required by the historic district, match the original profile.
• Failed weatherstripping on PGT doors. Central Florida’s heat-cycling and UV degrade door weatherstripping faster than national averages. A PGT door that won’t seal lets humid air in and drives up cooling costs. We replace with OEM-grade weatherstripping cut to the exact door profile.

PGT Service in Longwood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s the Longwood-specific fact most window companies never mention: any window or door replacement in the Longwood Historic Village requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Board before Seminole County will accept a building permit. That step does not exist in Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary, or Casselberry. If a contractor skips the COA and pulls only a standard county permit, that permit gets challenged. Replacement windows in the Village must match original lite patterns and profiles, which means standard off-the-shelf double-hung vinyl units are often non-approvable. Our team has shepherded PGT jobs through that board review process and knows which PGT configurations the board has approved in the past. Meanwhile, drive five minutes west to the 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch tracts around Sanlando Springs and you’re dealing with the opposite problem: original single-pane aluminum sliders that don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load minimums. Those homes need modern PGT impact units, no historic review required, just a proper full-frame install done to code. That split personality of Longwood means a PGT service provider here has to be fluent in two completely different compliance and aesthetic worlds. We are.

PGT Models & Products We Service in Longwood

We service and install the full PGT residential lineup: WinGuard impact windows and doors, Eze-Breeze vertical and horizontal sliding panels, the 4000 Series hung and casement windows, and the Sable Series for mid-range replacement work. We also service PGT sliding glass doors and impact-rated entry doors.

Our parts approach is simple and we’ll put it in writing: OEM PGT parts for any WinGuard impact component and any sash, roller, lock, or balance that must meet code. Aftermarket hardware only for non-impact cosmetic pieces when the originals are discontinued. We keep common OEM PGT roller assemblies, balances, and weatherstripping profiles stocked locally so most Longwood service calls don’t wait on a parts shipment from the factory.
