If you own PGT impact windows or doors in West Palm Beach, you already know Florida building code does not cut corners. Neither do we. We are TruePane Windows & Doors, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, and we have spent years serving local communities across Palm Beach County. We are not a PGT dealer and we do not pretend to be one. We are the local team homeowners call when a PGT window starts binding, a sliding door grinds on its track, or a seal fails and the glass fogs between the panes. The facts below are the same ones we give on the phone.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid impact window and door. WinGuard and the newer PGT 5500/7700 series hold up well in West Palm Beach weather. But every product line has its patterns, and after enough service calls you learn to look for them. Here are the five we see most often in this market.

• WinGuard casement windows with crank mechanisms that seize. The operator gear inside a PGT WinGuard casement is steel riding on an aluminum housing, and West Palm Beach salt air accelerates corrosion on the gear teeth. The symptom is a crank that turns hard in one spot, then pops. We replace the operator with a stainless-gear aftermarket unit that outlasts the original, and we re-lubricate the hinge track with a marine-grade compound. The window itself is usually fine.
• PGT 5500 single-hung windows that will not stay up. The block-and-tackle balances PGT uses in this series have a plastic shoe that wears unevenly in coastal humidity. You will notice the lower sash drifting down on its own or requiring two hands to lift. We replace both balances on the sash even if only one shows wear, because the other is never far behind. OEM balances are available, and on windows still under warranty we use them so the paperwork stays clean.
• Sliding glass door rollers in WinGuard and 5500 lines that grind instead of glide. The stainless rollers corrode at the bearing, not the wheel. What looks like a dirty track is often a seized bearing that has flat-spotted the wheel. We pull the panel, inspect the track for wear, and install sealed-bearing stainless rollers. If the track itself is worn, we shim and true it before the panel goes back in. A door that binds in July is a door that was never square to begin with.
• Laminated impact glass with edge fogging between the panes. PGT’s laminated glass uses an interlayer that can delaminate at the edge if the glazing bead allows standing water to sit against the seal. This shows up as a milky haze creeping in from the sash corners, and it does not dry out. If the sash is still under the PGT glass warranty, we document the failure and handle the warranty paperwork with the manufacturer. If it is out of warranty, we re-glaze with a new PGT-certified laminated unit rather than patch the seal with a quick fix that fails in the next hurricane season.
• French door astragals on PGT aluminum frame units that sag and catch. The active panel on an outswing French door carries a lot of weight, and over a decade of West Palm Beach afternoon thunderstorms, the hinge side settles. The door starts scraping the threshold at the strike corner. We remove the panel, re-square the frame, and reset the hinges with new shims. If the astragal is bent from being forced, we replace it with an OEM part so the two panels still seal tight under wind load.

Our PGT Impact Windows & Doors Process

Here is what a PGT job looks like when we take it on, from the first call to the cleanup. No surprises in between.

1. 1
   You call (561) 264-1279 and describe the problem. A live person answers and takes down the symptoms, the window or door series if you know it, and when you are available. We tell you the service call rate up front and that it is credited toward the repair.
2. 2
   We arrive on time and diagnose before touching anything. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures the opening, checks the frame for square and plumb, and identifies the exact failure. We measure every opening twice. If the frame is out of true, we tell you that first, because no new hardware fixes a frame problem.
3. 3
   We price the fix on paper before work starts. You see the line items, the part options, and the total. If OEM parts are warranted and available, we use them. If an aftermarket part does the job better for less, we tell you why and let you decide. No change orders, no mystery charges at the end.
4. 4
   We do the work in one visit. Most single-opening PGT repairs are completed the same day. We carry the common PGT parts on the truck, and for unusual failures we schedule the follow-up before we leave so you know exactly when we are back.
5. 5
   We test the window or door operation in front of you. Open, close, lock, and operate through the full range. If it is not square, plumb, and sealed, it is not done. That is the standard Dale Kessler has held since he started setting glass in Palm Beach County, and it is the standard every TruePane technician works to.
6. 6
   We register the workmanship and leave you the paperwork. The Done Right Promise is in writing. If something is not right, we make it right, no arguing. Before the truck leaves the driveway, you know what was done, what it cost, and who to call if anything changes.

What moves the price: the series you have (WinGuard versus 5500 versus 7700), the size of the opening, whether the frame itself needs re-squaring, and whether you choose OEM or quality aftermarket parts. We do not charge more because the job is a PGT. Call (561) 264-1279 for a free estimate. A senior or veteran discount of 5% is permanent, and that applies to PGT work.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work

We have been in West Palm Beach since 2008 through the heritage of craft Dale Kessler learned from his father, re-glazing storefront windows along Dixie Highway. That is where the name comes from: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We are not the cheapest bid, and we will tell you that on the first call. What you get instead is a company that shows up when we say, measures twice, quotes on paper, and stands behind the work with the Done Right Promise in writing. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. Every job, both manufacturer warranty layers get registered before the truck leaves the driveway. And if PGT turns out not to be the right fit for a replacement, we also install Andersen, Pella, and CGI, so you can compare lines side by side on paper instead of trusting a sales pitch. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. We are not going anywhere.
