AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Pierce: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement and installation in Fort Pierce typically runs $700 to $1,400 for most single-skylight or roof-window work, and $1,800 to $3,500 when flashing, curb rebuilds, or structural decking repairs are involved. We complete most PGT roof unit replacements in one visit, usually within four to six hours of staging the ladder. As an independent PGT service provider, TruePane Windows & Doors handles the full job: removal, deck inspection, new unit set, flashing, and warranty registration.
This page is for homeowners in Fort Pierce who have a PGT roof window, skylight, or roof-mounted glass unit that is leaking, fogged, or failing at the seal, and who want to know what the fix actually costs and whether the job can be done without a second trip. Call (772) 218-5890 and you will get a person, not a phone tree.
How PGT Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
- PGT WinGuard roof units losing seal after hurricane-season cycles. We see this most on WinGuard skylights installed between 2005 and 2012. The laminated glass holds, but the insulating seal between the panes fails after a decade of salt air and thermal swing. You get a milky haze that never clears. Fix: full unit replacement with a new WinGuard laminated unit, new setting blocks, and fresh flashing, not a reseal that will fog again in eighteen months.
- PGT 770 Series roof windows with flashing that was never lapped correctly. On Fort Pierce homes with shingle roofs, bad flashing laps are the number-one leak source. The original installer butted the head flashing against the shingle instead of weaving it under. We strip back the surrounding course, inspect the deck for rot, and rebuild the flashing stack the way PGT’s installation drawings call for.
- PGT Eze-Breeze roof panels cracking at the hinge bosses. Eze-Breeze is common on porch-to-roof conversions in Fort Pierce. The polycarbonate panels are light, but the hinge bosses take all the wind load. After a few noreasters, the plastic around the screws cracks and the panel droops or rattles. Fix: panel replacement with OEM Eze-Breeze components, and we replace the hinge hardware at the same time since a new panel on old hinges is a future callback.
- PGT roof skylights with curb rot under the frame. This is the one that turns a simple replacement into a bigger job. On older Fort Pierce homes, the original curb was built from untreated pine and wrapped in aluminum. Water gets under the wrap, the wood turns to crumbs, and the skylight starts sagging. We open it up, replace the curb with pressure-treated lumber and proper pan flashing, then set the new PGT unit. If we skip the curb, we’re setting a good window on a bad foundation.
- PGT low-profile roof glass with failed glazing beads. The glazing bead is the small vinyl strip that holds the glass in the frame. On PGT roof units near the Intracoastal, the combination of salt and UV makes those beads brittle. They crack at the corners, glass shifts, and the water finds its way in. Fix: new OEM glazing beads, bedding compound laid properly, and a water test before we come down off the roof.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (772) 218-5890. We ask what unit you have, when it was installed, and what you are seeing. We schedule the visit at a time that works for you, and the tech shows up when we say.
- 2
Ladder up, deck inspection first. The tech measures the opening twice, checks the condition of the decking around the unit, and looks at the flashing laps before touching anything. If there is rot under the frame, we tell you what that means before the job moves forward.
- 3
Parts decision on paper. For PGT work, we quote OEM parts where they matter: laminated glass, glazing beads, hinge hardware. We will tell you plainly if a quality aftermarket flashing kit will do the job and save you money. You see both options on paper before we order.
- 4
Removal and set. Old unit out, deck inspection done, new flashing woven and counter-flashed, new unit set with fresh setting blocks and backer rod. We use the PGT install drawings as the minimum standard, not the ceiling.
- 5
Water test and cleanup. Before we come off the roof, we run a hose over the flashing and check the interior with a moisture meter. Then we clean the drop area, haul the old unit away, and register the manufacturer warranty in writing.
- 6
Done Right Promise. The job is not closed until you have looked at the work and we have walked you through what was done. If it is not right when the caulk dries, it will not be right in two years either. We fix it within 90 days, no paperwork fight.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Pierce
Here are the numbers we quote most often in this market, based on the unit type and condition of the opening:
- PGT WinGuard laminated roof unit replacement: $900 to $1,400 installed, depending on size and whether the existing flashing can be reused (it usually cannot).
- PGT 770 Series roof window with new flashing: $800 to $1,200 installed on a shingle roof. Tile roof work adds $200 to $400 because the tile cuts and counter-flashing take longer.
- PGT Eze-Breeze panel replacement with new hardware: $250 to $450 per panel, plus $150 to $300 for hinge and latch hardware replacement.
- Full curb rebuild plus new PGT skylight: $1,800 to $3,500. The curb is the cost driver; the unit itself is the smaller half of the bill.
What moves the price: roof type (shingle is fastest, tile and metal take longer), access (two-story and steep pitches add labor), and what we find under the old unit. We quote fixed, line-item pricing before the work starts. If we find rot once the unit is out, we stop, show you, and agree on the additional work before proceeding. No surprise charges on the back end of the invoice. Call (772) 218-5890 for a free estimate on your PGT roof unit.
Why Fort Pierce Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
Dale Kessler grew up off Okeechobee Road on the north side of Fort Pierce, where half the houses still had jalousie windows his father was convinced would outlast everything else. They did not. He went through the building construction program at Indian River State College before spending years working with his father on residential glass along the Treasure Coast. That is the background behind this company, and it is why we treat a PGT roof unit like a job that has to hold through the next hurricane season, because we live here and we will be back here after the storm.
Every PGT job we do is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they know the difference between a WinGuard and a 770 Series because they have set both. If PGT is not the right line for the next project, we are also authorized installers for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. PGT is the job in front of us; the standard does not change with the brand.
Frequently Asked Questions About PGT Roof Replacement in Fort Pierce
Most PGT roof window failures need full unit replacement, not repair. A fogged seal cannot be repaired in place, and a cracked laminated lite cannot be spliced. The exceptions are glazing bead failures, hinge hardware, and minor flashing repairs, which we can do as individual fixes. If the glass or the insulated unit has failed, replacement is the honest fix. Call (772) 218-5890 and we will tell you which situation you have before pulling anything apart.
No. PGT’s warranty applies to the unit itself, not the labor that set it. As an independent PGT service provider, we install to PGT’s published specifications and register the new unit’s warranty in writing before we leave. What voids warranties is bad installation, wrong flashing, or DIY work that damages the frame or glass. We do not put a unit in unless it is set to the manufacturer’s minimum standard.
Most single-unit PGT replacements take four to six hours from ladder up to cleanup. We book one visit for the job. If we find deck rot or a failed curb once the unit is out, that adds time and we will quote it before proceeding. You are not waiting on a second dispatch unless the damage is more than we can see from the roof surface.
Some of them are, especially hinge hardware and glazing beads for models discontinued more than ten years ago. We keep common PGT components in the truck and can source most OEM parts within days through our existing supply lines. When OEM is genuinely unavailable or priced past sense, we will tell you and offer a quality aftermarket option with the trade-offs on paper. We never substitute parts without saying so.
Yes. A roof leak is the kind of call that cannot wait for a business day. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we will get a tech out to assess the situation. During storm season, the schedule tightens, so call (772) 218-5890 as soon as you see water staining on the ceiling or drywall around the unit.
If you have a PGT roof window or skylight in Fort Pierce that is leaking, fogged, or failing at the seal, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (772) 218-5890. We will give you a straight answer on what the fix costs, in writing, with no surprises on the bill.
