PGT Window Replacement in West Palm Beach: What to Know First

PGT window replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs between $900 and $2,600 per window depending on the series, glass package, and whether the frame itself needs to come out. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been replacing PGT products across Palm Beach County for years as an independent PGT service provider. Most single-window jobs are done in one visit, and a full-house replacement usually takes three to five working days once the glass arrives. If you’ve got a PGT window that’s fogged, binding, or leaking around the frame, call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs a rebuild or a full replacement.

This page is for homeowners who already own PGT windows or are considering them, and who want to know what replacement actually involves before anyone steps foot in the house. We’ll walk through how PGT products fail, what we do differently on the install, and what you can expect to pay.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid window, but every product line has its habits. Here’s what we see regularly in West Palm Beach, and how we address it:

• PGT WinGuard aluminum frames with failed glazing tape. The WinGuard series is common in older West Palm Beach homes built after Hurricane Andrew, and the original glazing tape eventually dries out and separates from the glass. Water works its way behind the frame and shows up as a stain on the interior drywall before the leak is visible anywhere else. The fix is a full-frame replacement with fresh flashing and new glazing tape, not caulk on top of the old seal.
• PGT SpectraGuard vinyl with seal failure at the corner welds. SpectraGuard windows are welded at the corners, and when a weld lets go the sash starts to rack. You’ll notice the window gets harder to close in July, when the humidity swells the frame. We square the opening, install new, and set the sash so it clears the frame evenly on all four sides.
• PGT 5500 and 7700 series with worn balance springs. These series use coil balances that fatigue with age and salt air exposure. The sash drops when you open it, and homeowners sometimes shove a stick in the track to hold it up. Replacing the balance alone is a short fix on an original window, but if the glass package is original too, full replacement usually makes more sense than chasing individual parts.
• Impact windows with a fogged laminate layer. PGT impact glass is a laminate sandwich, and when the edge seal fails on one face, moisture creeps between the panes and clouds the view. Some West Palm Beach homeowners think this is just condensation, but if it’s between the glass and won’t wipe off, the seal is gone. We replace the sash or the entire unit depending on frame condition.
• Rolling glass wall panels off their track. PGT sliding glass doors, particularly the 7700 series, ride on rollers that grind down over time. When the panel starts leaving marks on the track or binding on the bottom, the roller assembly is shot and the panel weight is dragging on the frame. If the panel is twisted, replacement is safer than forcing it back onto new rollers.

Our PGT Window Replacement Process

We keep it predictable. Here’s how a typical PGT replacement goes with us:

1. 1
   You call (561) 264-1279. A live person answers, day or night. We talk through what’s failing, what brand and series you have, and what you’re seeing.
2. 2
   We measure twice. A technician comes to the house in West Palm Beach, measures every opening with a laser and a steel tape, and looks at the existing frame condition before quoting anything.
3. 3
   We quote on paper. You get line-item pricing and a written recommendation on parts: OEM PGT when it makes sense, quality aftermarket when the OEM part is no longer made or not the best value for the repair.
4. 4
   We order and schedule. Glass and frames are ordered to spec. We confirm the install date and show up when we said we’d show up.
5. 5
   We replace and test. The old unit comes out, the opening gets checked for square and plumb, and the new window goes in, sealed, and flashed. We run the sash, check the drainage, and run a water test on the exterior seal.
6. 6
   We register the warranties in writing and leave the site clean. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before our truck leaves the driveway, and we walk you through what’s covered and for how long.

Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck pulls away. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork fight. We also service Andersen, Pella, CGI, so if your home has mixed brands, one call handles the whole job.
