PGT Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT service across our South Palm Beach service area, from WinGuard slider hardware to full impact-rated replacements in the condo towers that line this barrier island. The one thing that makes our PGT work here different is simple: we treat every unit in a South Palm Beach building as a salt-front exposure, because on an island this narrow, there is no lee side. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate from a crew that knows PGT frames the way a local knows the tide schedule.
Why South Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Most of the PGT windows and doors in South Palm Beach were installed after Hurricane Andrew rewrote the Florida Building Code, and they have spent every hurricane season since earning their keep. We work on WinGuard and Custom Window & Door products in these oceanfront towers every week, which means we have already seen the failure pattern you are calling about. Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up in Kendall and trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening slowly and without guessing. That habit has not changed in nearly three decades of setting windows and doors in South Florida. Our PGT sales & service work carries the same standard as everything else we do: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We are not the manufacturer. We are an independent PGT service provider, which means we answer to you, not to a corporate warranty department. Genuine PGT OEM parts go in wherever they are available. When a discontinued series needs aftermarket hardware, we match the original profile and hard-coat finish and tell you plainly when replacement costs less than repeated repairs.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in South Palm Beach
- Corroded aluminum sills and track rollers on dual-exposure sliding glass doors. South Palm Beach sits with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, so a PGT slider here gets salt spray from both directions. Intracoastal-facing units are often just as bad as oceanfront ones. We replace rollers, tracks, and sill pans with corrosion-resistant hardware that matches the original PGT profile.
- Seized jalousie operator arms from original 1960s casements. Many South Palm Beach condos still have their original jalousie windows because boards have deferred the cost. PGT impact-rated replacements require full frame swaps, not hardware patches, and we help owners navigate the condo approval and county permit process before a single opening is measured.
- Fogged IGUs on early EnergyVue low-E glazing. Constant UV and salt haze on east and west elevations breaks down the seal on older PGT insulated glass units faster than manufacturers originally predicted. We source replacement IGUs with the correct low-E coating and gas fill for the Palm Beach County wind-load specs that apply to your building.
- Worn weatherstripping and failing locksets on WinGuard single-hungs. Damp, salt-logged condo corridors in South Palm Beach cycle these latches harder than dry inland homes ever will. We replace the lockset and weatherstripping, and we apply marine inhibitor to every locking point so the next decade starts better than the last one ended.
- Wind-load test failures on aging PGT frames. Some buildings on this strip are discovering that original PGT installs from the 1990s no longer pass current Palm Beach County wind mitigation inspections. We assess what is salvageable and what requires a full WinGuard replacement, and we pull the permit and pass the inspection before we call the job done.
PGT Service in South Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The key fact most contractors miss about South Palm Beach is that the entire town is under one mile wide at its widest point. In practical terms, that means there is no protected side of any building. A PGT window on the sixth floor facing the Intracoastal gets essentially the same salt loading as one facing the Atlantic, because the barrier island is too narrow to buffer the air between the two water bodies. Condo associations here have learned this the hard way, which is why most now require the same finish-hardware upgrade on every floor of a building regardless of elevation. For PGT owners, this means a worn track roller or pitted sill pan is not a unit-specific issue. It is a building-wide pattern. On a 1977 WinGuard slider in the Meridian on the Intracoastal side, our tech found the track rollers rusted solid and the sill pan pitted through in two spots. Condo rules required corrosion-resistant stainless rollers and an impact-rated pan that matched the original PGT 770 profile, so we replaced the entire lower track assembly rather than attempt a patch. The completed job passed county wind-mitigation inspection the same week, and we applied marine inhibitor to all locking points as a preventive. Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.
PGT Models & Products We Service in South Palm Beach
We service the PGT lines most common in South Palm Beach: WinGuard impact windows and doors, Custom Window & Door products, EnergyVue insulated glass, and the older 770 Series still found in many 1970s and 1980s towers. For full replacements, see our Window Installation in South Palm Beach. The 770 Series matters because its frame profile and balance assemblies are not interchangeable with newer lines, and buying the wrong replacement part is a common and costly mistake. We stock OEM PGT rollers, locksets, and balance parts for the models these buildings actually have, not the models a supply house happens to carry. When a discontinued series needs aftermarket hardware, we match the original profile and finish and tell you if the smarter money goes toward replacement instead. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
PGT Service Pricing in South Palm Beach
PGT service pricing in South Palm Beach depends on what the equipment needs. A surface-applied lockset replacement on a WinGuard single-hung typically runs $120 to $240 per window. Sliding glass door roller and track replacements run $180 to $400 per panel, depending on the hardware spec and finish required by the condo association. Full IGU replacement on an EnergyVue window ranges from $350 to $750, while a complete WinGuard impact window replacement in a high-rise unit generally falls between $1,000 and $2,800 installed, including permit and inspection. Complete impact-rated sliding door replacements typically run $3,500 to $7,000, and South Palm Beach’s salt-front location means finish hardware upgrades are often written into the board’s spec, which can add $75 to $150 per opening. A free estimate from us gives you a written line-item quote with the permit fee, hardware spec, and labor separated, so the bill matches the quote. Call (754) 238-2201 for exact numbers.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
Yes. Both are required on nearly every PGT window or door replacement in South Palm Beach. The county permit covers wind-load compliance and inspection, and the condo board must sign off on the specific product line, finish, and installation method before work starts. We handle both, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through the process.
Because South Palm Beach is under one mile wide, salt-laden air from the Intracoastal reaches every unit in a building, not just the ocean-view floors. There is no buffered inland side, so tracks, rollers, and sill pans on the west side rust out at nearly the same rate as those facing the Atlantic. We replace lower track assemblies with corrosion-resistant stainless hardware matched to the original PGT profile. Call (754) 238-2201 for an inspection and a firm quote.
No. Jalousie frames cannot be retrofitted to meet current impact standards. The entire frame must be removed and replaced with a PGT WinGuard or Custom Window & Door impact-rated product in a full-frame installation. Learn more about our Door Installation in South Palm Beach. We pull the permit, handle the condo approval, and install the replacement to pass county inspection the first time. Call (754) 238-2201 to get a written quote on the exact openings in your unit.
Salt air settles into locksets, hinges, and balance assemblies and accelerates wear, especially in damp common hallways where the humidity never fully dries out. We see latch failures and balance drag on WinGuard single-hungs in these buildings years before the same issues appear inland. Our fix is replacement hardware with marine inhibitor applied to every locking point, a small step that extends hardware life significantly. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will source the right OEM or matched aftermarket parts.
Yes. The entire municipality of South Palm Beach falls within Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, which makes impact-rated windows and doors legally required for any permitted replacement, regardless of which direction the opening faces or what floor it sits on. Courtyard-facing units have no exemption. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your openings, and we will pull the permit and pass the inspection.
