AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Riviera Beach: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent PGT roof replacement and installation in Riviera Beach with most skylight and roof-glazing work completed within five to seven business days of the initial measure. The honest price posture is straightforward: we quote the job on paper before any work begins, and the number on that quote is the number you pay. No change orders mid-job, no discovery pricing.
This page is written for the Riviera Beach homeowner who already has PGT roof glazing, a PGT skylight, or PGT impact-rated roof windows and wants the replacement done correctly the first time. If you have been nursing a unit that leaks only in certain winds or fogs between the panes every summer, call (786) 829-6722. A live person answers.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT WinGuard roof glass losing its seal at the laminated interlayer. On Riviera Beach homes within three blocks of the inlet, salt spray works into the edge seal of roof-mounted WinGuard units faster than inland installs. The symptom is a slow fog that appears in the morning and clears by noon. The fix is full unit replacement with fresh structural silicone, not a seal repair that buys a season and fails in the next tropical system.
- PGT PremierVue skylight frames corroding at the curb mount. We see this on older Riviera Beach ranch homes where the original curb flashing was aluminum, not stainless. The PGT glass is often fine while the frame beneath it is pitting. We replace the frame and regasket the curb, and we specify stainless fasteners because anything else near brackish air is a future callback.
- Condensation trapped between PGT insulated roof panels. When a PGT roof panel develops moisture you cannot wipe off either side, the desiccant strip inside the spacer has exhausted. This is a manufacturing lifecycle issue, not a leak from the storm. We replace the panel and document the install date, which matters if the unit is still inside the PGT warranty window.
- PGT SofCap overhangs sagging and draining onto the glass plane. On two-story Riviera Beach builds, we have seen PGT SofCap standing-seam overhangs that lost their slope and began holding water at the drip edge. The water eventually finds the gasket line. We correct the pitch and reflash the junction so water exits the assembly rather than sitting against the seal.
- PGT SunVista roof units with grazed impact fractures. After storm debris hits, the exterior lite may spiderweb while the interior holds. That is the laminated interlayer doing its job. But the unit is now compromised and will eventually cloud. We pull dimensions from the existing curb, not the frame, and order the replacement to fit the actual opening.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call comes in to a live person. We gather the model line, approximate install year, and the symptom you are seeing. No voicemail trees, and no callback forms.
- 2
On-site measure and diagnosis. Our technician measures the opening twice, checks the curb and flashing condition, and looks for the root cause of the failure, not just what is visible from inside the house.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You get side-by-side pricing on OEM PGT and quality aftermarket equivalents, with both options spelled out on paper. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
- 4
Dale Kessler reviews the spec. Before any order is placed, Dale checks the glass thickness, impact rating, and curb dimensions against the opening we measured. That second set of eyes has caught order errors that would have put a job days behind.
- 5
Replacement and installation. The old unit comes out, the curb and flashing are prepared, and the new PGT unit goes in with structural silicone and proper slope. We register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway.
- 6
Water test and cleanup. We run water over the flashing line with you watching, then leave the site cleaner than we found it. The Done Right Promise is in writing before we close out.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Riviera Beach
Roof glazing is not a place to guess, so here are the ranges we typically see in Riviera Beach:
- PGT fixed roof skylight, 2×4, non-impact: $900 to $1,600 installed
- PGT fixed roof skylight, 2×4, WinGuard impact-rated: $1,700 to $2,800 installed
- PGT roof glass replacement only (glass panel swap, frame reused): $600 to $1,200
- PGT curb-mounted roof window, 3×4 impact: $2,200 to $3,900 installed
- Full curb rebuild with flashing replacement, any size: add $400 to $900
What moves the price is curb condition, second-story access, and whether the existing framing is sound. If the curb is rotted or out of square, the job costs more because the deck has to be rebuilt before the unit goes in. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free written estimate. Anyone quoting you a PGT roof replacement over the phone without seeing the curb is guessing, and guessing is how leaks come back.
Why Riviera Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We are an independent PGT service provider. We are not factory-authorized, which means our recommendations are not shaped by a quota or a territory agreement. If the right fix is an aftermarket part that costs less and performs the same, we tell you that on paper. If the unit is still under PGT warranty, we tell you that too and help you file before selling you anything.
Riviera Beach has been our service area for the better part of two decades. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every one of them has been trained to treat a customer’s home the way they would treat their own mother’s. Dale Kessler grew up in the Blue Heron neighborhood, close enough to the inlet that he learned patience watching the drawbridge go up and down as a teenager. That patience shows up in a flashing detail done right instead of done fast.
We also carry three other impact-rated lines as backup: CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. If a PGT unit is discontinued or has a lead time that does not fit your schedule, we can quote a direct equivalent from one of those lines the same day.
FAQs
We are an independent provider, so we do not perform warranty work on behalf of PGT. What we do is help you document the failure, identify whether the unit falls within the factory warranty window, and then give you a written quote for the replacement or repair regardless of how the warranty claim resolves. If a claim is approved, we are happy to install the replacement unit PGT sends. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will help you sort it out.
Most single-unit skylight replacements take one day on site, with the glass order running three to seven business days depending on the model and impact rating. Curb rebuilds add a second day. We will not rush the flashing, because that is where the leak starts when the next storm comes through.
Yes and no. We can match the tint, thickness, and impact rating in most cases, but glass batches shift slightly over the years, and a replacement panel installed next to a ten-year-old original may look a hair different in certain light. We will tell you that before we order it. For a cleaner match on visible roof glazing, ask about replacing the pair while we are there. Free estimate at (786) 829-6722.
Sometimes. If the leak is at the flashing or curb seal and the glass is sound, the repair is usually $400 to $900. If the unit itself has lost its seal or the frame is corroding, replacement is the honest recommendation because a patch will fail in the same spot within a season or two. We will show you the failed component before we ask you to spend money on either path.
We prepare the work to meet Palm Beach County impact and wind-load requirements, and we know which Riviera Beach communities require an architectural review submission before the job starts. If a permit is required, we pull it and schedule the inspection. We do not ask the homeowner to chase paperwork on a roof opening.
