We are not affiliated with or authorized by PGT. We operate as an independent service provider, which means we source parts directly and pass the savings through without dealership markup. That independence also means we can recommend repair when it makes sense and replacement when it doesn’t, without channel restrictions.

North Palm Beach presents a specific challenge for PGT work. The village’s 1955-1975 concrete block and stucco ranch homes, built under the original General Development Corporation plan, still carry original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows directly exposed to salt air off the Intracoastal Waterway. Jalousie windows cannot be made impact-rated. The village’s own building department, separate from Palm Beach County, requires permits even for like-for-like replacements and specifically flags any attempt to reuse original jalousie rough openings with non-impact units. That regulatory reality pushes most North Palm Beach homeowners toward full PGT impact-rated system upgrades rather than piecemeal repairs. We’ve done enough of these retrofits to know where the rough-opening corrections typically run, and we price them in writing before demolition starts.

If the opening isn’t right, the window isn’t right - that’s where we start. Call (561) 475-1246 to schedule your free estimate.

Why Trust Sightline Windows & Doors North Palm Beach for Your PGT Windows & Doors?

Our crew knows PGT extrusion profiles by sight. The 7000 Series aluminum frame has a distinct corner key and glazing bead geometry that differs from CGI’s comparable line. The 3000 Series vinyl uses a specific balance system for single-hung operation that we’ve replaced hundreds of times. The WinGuard laminated glass package requires a particular setting block placement to maintain impact certification. These aren’t catalog facts. They’re what you learn after a decade of disassembling, measuring, and resealing PGT units in West Palm Beach and throughout Palm Beach County’s high wind-speed zone.

Sonia Raman, our owner, grew up in Miami and learned the trade at Miami Lakes Educational Center, spending two years in the building construction technology program before she ever touched a finished frame on a job site. She has worked windows and doors professionally for over two decades, building a reputation for tight tolerances on impact-rated installations. Her crew has logged years of work throughout PGT Windows & Doors in Lake Park, FL and North Palm Beach, including retrofit projects in the Lakeside Park neighborhood where older concrete-block homes needed full rough-opening corrections before a single new unit could go in. She measures every opening herself on the first visit, not because she doubts her crew, but because she has seen what a quarter-inch assumption costs a homeowner in lead time and money.

Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in North Palm Beach

• Failed or leaking seals in WinGuard impact glass units. The laminated glass and interlayer in PGT WinGuard windows are designed to withstand missile impact, but the insulated glass unit (IGU) seal is still vulnerable to North Palm Beach’s chronic salt-air exposure off the Intracoastal Waterway. Once the seal fails, moisture enters the airspace, causing fogging between panes. More critically, the failed IGU loses its impact rating because the structural integrity of the glass package is compromised. We replace with OEM PGT IGUs and reset the glazing beads to factory spec.
• Corroded or worn rollers and tracks in PGT sliding glass doors. The 8000 Series sliding glass door uses a tandem roller assembly that carries significant weight across a stainless steel track. In North Palm Beach’s marine environment, salt accumulation accelerates bearing corrosion and track pitting. Homeowners notice sticking, jumping, or the door falling out of plumb. We stock OEM PGT roller assemblies and can machine-polish minor track damage or recommend full track replacement when the extrusion itself is compromised.
• Cracked or broken window frames from impact or thermal stress. PGT aluminum frames, particularly in the 7000 Series, can crack at the corner joints when subjected to flying debris during storm events or from thermal cycling in unshaded south-facing exposures. The crack often propagates from the corner key outward, compromising both the structural rating and the weather seal. We assess whether a corner repair with structural epoxy and reinforcement is viable or if the sash requires replacement.
• Malfunctioning locks and handles after hurricane exposure. PGT window and door hardware is impact-rated as a system, meaning the lock, keeper, and strike plate are tested together. After repeated storm cycling or forced operation of a warped frame, the multipoint lock mechanisms in WinGuard doors can fall out of alignment. We don’t just replace the handle; we realign the entire locking system and verify engagement at each point.
• Frame corrosion at weep holes and sill interfaces. The 7000 Series aluminum frame includes weep holes designed to drain incidental water. In North Palm Beach’s salt-air environment, these openings become corrosion initiation points, and the sill-to-frame interface degrades faster than inland installations. We clean, treat, and seal these interfaces, replacing sill caps and weep covers with OEM PGT components when available or marine-grade alternatives when not.

PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

We use OEM PGT parts whenever available. That means PGT-manufactured IGUs with the correct laminated glass package, factory roller assemblies, and specified hardware kits. OEM parts maintain warranty compliance and guaranteed fit. For older or discontinued models, we source high-quality aftermarket alternatives from verified suppliers, and we document what we used and why.

Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward. If the frame is structurally sound and the failure is isolated to glass, hardware, or seal, we repair. If the frame is cracked at a load-bearing corner, if corrosion has compromised the wall thickness, or if the unit is a pre-2005 model with obsolete hardware, we recommend replacement. We don’t profit from selling replacement over repair; Haven Clause 1 means you get the written price for both options and decide.

We stock common PGT rollers, locks, glazing beads, and seal kits locally for fast turnaround on standard repairs. Call (561) 475-1246 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Our PGT Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with measured survey. Sonia Raman measures every opening herself on the first visit. For PGT units, we record frame dimensions, sightline measurements, glazing pocket depth, and hardware positions. We photograph the failure mode and the surrounding conditions. You keep the measured survey; we use it to generate the written scope.
2. 2
   Repair or install with OEM-compatible parts. Our technicians arrive with license numbers verified under Haven Clause 3. For PGT repairs, we use OEM parts when available and documented alternatives when not. For replacements, we specify the exact PGT series, performance grade, and finish to match or upgrade your existing unit.
3. 3
   Testing and verification. Every PGT window or door is operated through its full range after service. Impact-rated units are checked for proper lock engagement, seal compression, and drainage path clearance. We verify that the unit meets the Florida Building Code requirements for North Palm Beach’s high wind-speed zone.
4. 4
   Warranty documentation and photo record. You receive the written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, plus a documented photo record of the completed work. The measured survey, the written quote, and the final invoice are the same document chain - Haven Clause 1 from start to finish.

PGT Products We Service & Install in North Palm Beach

We service and install the full range of PGT residential products through our Window Installation services: WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows in aluminum and vinyl frames; the 7000 Series aluminum single-hung, horizontal roller, and fixed units; the 3000 Series vinyl single-hung and picture windows; and the 8000 Series sliding glass doors in standard and impact-rated configurations. We also handle PGT entry door systems with impact-rated glass inserts.

For North Palm Beach’s coastal environment, we typically recommend WinGuard aluminum or vinyl impact-rated units for replacement projects, given the village’s wind-load requirements and the inability to achieve compliance with non-impact alternatives. We stock common PGT hardware and seal components locally and can source specialized finishes and custom sizes with stated lead times.

We Also Service These Brands

Our independence from any single manufacturer means we specify by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. Beyond PGT, we service and install CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Each line occupies a distinct performance tier and price range, and we match the product to the application rather than forcing a brand fit.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors Service in North Palm Beach

Can you repair PGT impact windows that have lost their seal, or do they need full replacement?

We can repair most sealed-failure cases by replacing the IGU with an OEM PGT glass unit and resetting the glazing system. Full replacement is only necessary if the frame itself is compromised or if the unit is obsolete. Call (561) 475-1246 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Are PGT windows and doors covered under warranty if repaired by an independent company?

PGT’s factory warranty covers manufacturing defects, not service work. Our repairs do not void existing PGT warranties provided we use OEM-compatible parts and follow factory installation guidelines. We document every part source and procedure for your records.

What are common signs that PGT impact windows need servicing?

Fogging between glass panes, difficulty operating sashes or doors, visible corrosion at frames or hardware, and drafts or water intrusion at seals. In North Palm Beach’s salt-air environment, hardware stiffness often appears before visible corrosion. Call (561) 475-1246 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Do you service PGT sliding glass doors that are hard to slide?

Yes. We diagnose whether the issue is roller wear, track damage, or frame settlement. Most 8000 Series doors respond to OEM roller replacement and track cleaning; severe cases may need track section replacement or frame realignment.

How long does it typically take to replace a PGT window or door?

Standard replacement of a single PGT unit in a prepared opening takes 2-4 hours. Full rough-opening corrections, common in North Palm Beach’s 1950s-1970s homes with original jalousie openings, add a day or more. We state the timeline in writing before work starts.

How much does PGT windows & doors service cost in North Palm Beach?

PGT IGU replacement typically runs $280-$520 per unit depending on size and glass package. Roller and track service for 8000 Series doors ranges $180-$340. Full replacement with new PGT impact-rated units starts around $890-$1,450 per opening including permit and inspection for North Palm Beach’s village building department.
