AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service and repair PGT windows and doors across Boca Raton, from the high-rise condos along A1A to the CBS homes in Boca West and St. Andrews, and we offer Deerfield Beach Pgt service too. We’re an independent crew, not a PGT dealer or manufacturer arm, and we carry OEM PGT parts on our trucks so most repairs happen in one visit. The thing that sets our PGT work apart here is that we know how Boca Raton’s architectural review boards and salt-air exposure change what a correct repair looks like. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person picks up, day or night.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Dale Kessler has been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. He grew up in Kendall watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail, trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, and still measures every job himself. “Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.” Our techs have rebuilt more PGT WinGuard and 5500 series hardware in Boca Raton’s salt-air corridor than any independent crew on the Palm Beach coast. We know which factory parts hold up and which PGT openings make more sense to retrofit than replace. That judgment comes from doing the work, not reading a catalog. We carry every common PGT series on our trucks, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. Most jobs get done in a single visit, with upfront pricing and no surprise line items.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Salt-air pitting on PGT 5500 aluminum frames and lock keepers. East of the Intracoastal, especially around Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, ocean spray reaches rear sliders and corrodes lock cylinders until they seize, even when the glass is still sound. We replace the keepers and cylinders with OEM PGT hardware and treat the surrounding frame so the new parts don’t fail the same way.
- Roller assemblies on PGT WinGuard sliders gummed with salt and sand. Panels start to drag, jump the track, or refuse to lock. That’s a real problem in a 170-mph design wind zone, and HOAs like Boca West flag it during annual inspections. We pull the panel, swap in factory-spec rollers, and set the track clean.
- Weep-hole clogs in PGT fixed and casement frames. Airborne salt and tropical rain cycles pack the weep channels, water pools inside the track, and the insulating glass seal starts to fail. Common on CBS homes with original 1980s rough openings. We clear the channels and re-seal before the glass unit is compromised.
- Arched, non-rectangular openings on Mizner-style homes. Mediterranean Revival rough openings are rarely factory-true, so even stock PGT impact frames need field trimming, custom sill cuts, and re-shimming or they bow under load. We’ve done enough of these to know where the bow shows up first.
- PGT 2700 Series aluminum frames in older eastern condos. These non-impact units came standard in a lot of pre-1990 buildings east of the Intracoastal. We service the hardware and balance systems, and we’ll tell you straight when a salt-exposed frame has lost its product approval and a full replacement is the honest call.
PGT Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boca Raton’s master-planned communities, especially Boca West and St. Andrews, run their architectural review boards as a second permit layer on top of the city. A PGT WinGuard window that passes code can be rejected because the bronze finish is a shade off the board’s approved palette or the grid pattern doesn’t match the street’s original spec. Pgt repair in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach don’t hold that line nearly as tight. What this means for PGT service work is that we pre-submit finish and grid schedules with every HOA package before the city even sees the job. If we’re replacing rollers on a WinGuard slider in St. Andrews, that’s a repair and typically doesn’t trigger review. But if a failed seal means a full sash or frame replacement, the board needs to see the exact PGT product number, finish code, and grid layout in advance. We handle that paperwork. We’ve learned which boards want a site sample and which ones accept the PGT spec sheet at face value, and that local knowledge keeps a straightforward repair from turning into a three-month committee process.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We service the full PGT line you’re likely to find in Boca Raton: PGT WinGuard Vinyl, the impact-rated casement, single-hung, and sliding units common in single-family homes; PGT 5500 Series aluminum impact sliders and windows, which dominate the waterfront properties; PGT SpectraGuard, the hurricane-rated hybrid; and PGT 2700 Series non-impact aluminum, still found in older eastern condos. When a frame is structurally sound, we use OEM PGT rollers, keepers, and lock sets for a like-for-like repair. For discontinued PGT finishes, we source quality aftermarket marine-grade hardware that matches the existing color without voiding the product approval. We’re also honest when a 15-year-old salt-exposed PGT 5500 has lost its impact NOA integrity, and a full frame replacement beats re-gasketing. We carry the common parts for fast Boca Raton turnaround, and we order what we don’t stock before we schedule the second visit. We also provide PGT sales & service for full-frame replacements and new installations across Boca Raton service area.
PGT Service Pricing in Boca Raton
A PGT roller replacement on a WinGuard slider in Boca Raton typically runs $180 to $340, depending on whether the track needs a full regrade or just a clean and re-lube. Lock cylinder and keeper replacement on a 5500 Series door runs $120 to $260. Weep-hole clearing and frame re-sealing on a casement or fixed unit starts around $90 to $180. A full-frame PGT 5500 replacement on a salt-exposed waterfront opening is a different conversation, usually $1,800 to $4,200 installed depending on size and finish. What drives cost is access, frame condition, and whether the HOA requires a finish and grid submittal before work begins. A free estimate means we come out, measure the opening, check the track and hardware, and hand you a written line-item quote before any work starts. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact number. And we offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
It depends on the specific board’s current finish schedule and whether the existing frame is still in product approval condition. Boca West has historically accepted like-for-like PGT WinGuard insert replacements when the frame is sound and the finish and grid match what’s already on the home. If the frame has lost its impact NOA integrity or the existing grid pattern is no longer in the PGT catalog, the board may require a full-frame replacement with the closest approved grid. We pre-submit the finish and grid schedule with every HOA package before the city sees the job, so you know the answer before you buy. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll pull your community’s current requirements.
If the panel drags, jumps, or grinds only in specific spots along the track, that’s usually rollers that have corroded into oval shapes from salt exposure. If the panel drags along the entire track or sits visibly low in the frame, the track itself may have lost its level. On Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club homes, we find the rear sliders take the most ocean spray, and both conditions often show up together. We also handle Coconut Creek Pgt service for similar salt-air issues. We’ll pull the panel, check the rollers, and run a straightedge along the track before recommending the least invasive fix. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what you’re looking at.
The sticker confirms the product was manufactured and approved. It doesn’t confirm the installation was done correctly or that the opening the window sits in has maintained its product approval. In Boca Raton, the most common reasons we see are missing or corroded fasteners, a frame that’s shifted out of true over time, or the wrong window type installed for the specific rough opening geometry. Inspectors also check for the correct glazing bead and anchoring pattern per the NOA. If a window failed inspection and the sticker is intact, the installation or the condition of the frame is usually the issue. We can assess it and tell you what needs to change to pass.
Usually no. PGT 5500 impact units are glazed into the frame as a tested assembly, and the impact rating comes from the frame and glass working together as one system. Swapping the glass into a new frame breaks the tested assembly and voids the product approval, even if the glass itself is undamaged. For code and insurance purposes, the replacement needs to be a complete new PGT 5500 unit or an alternative that carries its own Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code approval. We’ll quote it both ways on paper so you can see what the honest path costs.
Late afternoon is when the sun has been on the aluminum for hours. The metal expands, the tolerances tighten, and if there’s any corrosion in the operator gears or the hinge track, that’s when you’ll hear it. East of the Intracoastal, salt builds up on the exposed hardware faster than inland, and the daily expansion and contraction works that grit deeper into the gears. If it only grinds in the evening and swings free overnight, the operator needs cleaning and re-lubrication or a gear replacement, not a full window. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll check the unit while the sun is up.
