AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Royal Palm Beach: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement and installation in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $900 to $2,600 depending on whether we’re replacing an impact-rated skylight, repairing roof flashing around a PGT window, or installing a full PGT impact window system as part of a roof replacement. Most PGT roof-related jobs take one to two days once materials are on hand, and we quote the work at a fixed price before we start. You will not see a change order at the end.
This page is for Royal Palm Beach homeowners who either own PGT windows or impact products already, or who are planning a roof replacement and want to know how their PGT installation fits into that scope of work. If you want to talk through your specific situation, call (386) 251-6745 and a live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT WinGuard and Premier Vue frames pulling away from roof decking. In Royal Palm Beach, the summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms cycle roofs through expansion and contraction faster than most parts of the country. We regularly see PGT frames that were set too tight against roof sheathing, with no room for that movement. The frame pulls, the seal breaks, and water finds its way in. We remove the frame, reset it with the correct gap, and flash it properly to the roof plane.
- Roof flashing failures around PGT SkyGarde and PGT V-Series windows. The flashing detail is where most roof replacement crews get sloppy. They will reuse old flashing, skip the kick-out, or caulk over a gap that should have been mechanically fastened. We strip it back to the rough opening, inspect the king and jack studs, and reflash with new material cut to the exact opening. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- Impact-rated PGT windows with cloudy glass after a roof replacement. Gas-filled insulated glass units fail when the seal is breached, and roof work sends vibration through the entire frame assembly. Homeowners call us after the roofer has left, wondering why a window that was fine last month now has condensation between the panes. We replace the IG unit with a new one, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
- PGT Eze-Breeze porch windows and sliding panels that bind after roof work. Roof replacement changes the load path on a lanai or enclosed porch, and that can shift the header enough to throw the Eze-Breeze tracks out of square. The panel binds, the homeowner assumes the window warped, but the roof settlement is the cause. We adjust the track, shim where needed, and correct the alignment so the panel slides without a fight.
- Flashing gaps where roof valleys meet PGT window openings. This is the detail that separates a leak-free home from one that shows water staining the first rainy season. Roof valleys channel an enormous volume of water in a South Florida downpour, and if the step flashing is cut too short or the counterflashing doesn’t overlap the window flange, water has a path straight into the wall cavity. We install full-length step flashing and inspect every point where the roof plane meets glass.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
We answer the phone and schedule a site visit. A real person takes the call, and we set a time that works for you. Dale Kessler grew up off Crestwood Boulevard, so he knows the neighborhoods and the houses in Royal Palm Beach.
- 2
We measure twice and document what’s there. Before touching anything, we measure every opening, check the rough framing, and identify which PGT series is installed. We quote on paper, side by side if you’re considering more than one manufacturer line.
- 3
We go over the numbers before any work starts. You get a fixed price for the entire job. No allowances, no “we’ll see what we find,” no surprises on the final bill.
- 4
We do the work with parts that fit the application. OEM PGT components where warranty coverage is still active. Quality aftermarket equivalents where the original part is discontinued or the warranty has long since expired. We explain the difference so you can decide with full information.
- 5
We test everything and register both warranty layers. Water test on flashing, alignment check on every moving component, and a walk-through before we pack the truck. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.

The Done Right Promise takes effect. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Royal Palm Beach

- Roof flashing and seal work across a full wall of PGT windows: $1,200-$2,600, depending on the number of openings and how much existing flashing needs to come out.
- Full PGT impact window replacement as part of a roof replacement: $1,800-$4,500 per window, depending on size, series, and whether the frame can be reused.
What moves the price: access (second-story work costs more than ground-level), the condition of the existing rough opening, and whether you choose OEM PGT components or quality aftermarket equivalents.

Why Royal Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We have been serving this community since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he was tired of seeing bad window installations that cost homeowners twice what a good one would have. The Done Right Promise is not a marketing line. It is the rule we work under. If the work is not right, we return and make it right. We do not hand you a form and hope you go away.
On a PGT job, our techs know the difference between a WinGuard frame, a SkyGarde frame, and an Eze-Breeze track. They are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. If PGT is not the right fit for your project anymore, we also work with CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we quote the lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. One phone call, a live person every time, and a square deal on every job.
FAQs
Yes, and it is often the smartest time to do it. When the roof is open, we can access the flashing details from above and the interior wall cavity from below, which means cleaner installation and better sealing. Call (386) 251-6745 to coordinate the scope of work before your roofer starts.
It can, if the roof crew damages the window frame or flashing in the process and no one documents it. We recommend an inspection before and after any major roof work so you have a written record of the condition of your PGT windows. If repairs are needed, we handle the warranty registration paperwork. Call us to schedule an inspection at (386) 251-6745.
Common PGT components like flashings, glazing beads, and standard IG units are usually on hand or available within a few days through our supplier network in Palm Beach County. Specialty items like oversized WinGuard units or discontinued Eze-Breeze panels take longer, typically two to three weeks. We quote lead time when we quote the job.
If the glass unit is fogged or the seal has failed, replacement of the IG unit is the right fix. If the frame itself is pulling away from the roof decking or has rotted at the sill, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair. We will tell you which one makes sense for your house and your budget, in plain English, before you spend a dollar.
Yes. When a permit is required for replacement window or flashing work in Royal Palm Beach, we pull it, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the work through final sign-off. The inspection is not an obstacle to us. It is the proof the work was done right.
If it is not sealed right, the next storm will tell you. We would rather you call us before that storm. (386) 251-6745 is a live line, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the estimate is free.
