This page is for Pembroke Pines homeowners who bought PGT because it was supposed to hold up to South Florida weather, and now something overhead is not holding up. We will walk you through what fails, what it costs, and how we fix it.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid product. That said, every manufacturer has patterns, and after nearly three decades of setting glass in South Florida, we know where PGT roof components tend to give out first. Here is what we see in Pembroke Pines homes:

• PGT 7700 series skylight seal breakdown at the curb mount. The 7700 skylight line shows up in a lot of Pembroke Pines ranch homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The butyl tape between the skylight frame and the roof curb dries out and shrinks under twelve months of direct UV and daily afternoon thunderstorms, and once that seal goes, water tracks along the curb and drips onto the drywall. We pull the skylight, scrape the old sealant, inspect the curb for rot, reset the unit with fresh sealant, and reflash the perimeter.
• PGT WinGuard roof-glazing gasket compression set. WinGuard impact-rated roof glazing uses rubber gaskets that compress when the glass is set. After fifteen-plus years, those gaskets lose their rebound, the glass shifts a few millimeters, and the gap allows driving rain from Pembroke Pines summer downpours to find the interior. The fix is not caulk over the top. We remove the stops, replace the gasket set with the correct durometer for the opening, and reseat the glass so it is true in the frame.
• PGT Eze-Breeze roof panel track binding. The Eze-Breeze system, which some Pembroke Pines patio enclosures use as a roof panel setup, runs on aluminum tracks that collect sand and salt grit. The panels start binding, then a homeowner forces one and cracks the polycarbonate at the corner. We clean the track, replace the cracked panel, and adjust the rollers so the panels ride the way they did when new.
• Condensation between panes in older PGT insulated roof units. This is the failure Dale Kessler hears about most from homeowners who assume the skylight “leaks.” It is not a leak. The desiccant inside the spacer has reached saturation, the inert gas between the panes is gone, and the sealed unit has failed. PGT’s warranty does not cover it after the pro-rated period ends, and no sealant on the outside will fix it. We replace the insulated glass unit and register the new glazing with PGT in writing.
• PGT roof vent operator gears stripping. On venting PGT roof windows, the plastic gear inside the crank operator strips after years of opening against a bit of grit in the track. A homeowner turns the handle and feels it slip, and the roof vent never fully closes. We replace the operator with the OEM gear set when available; if PGT has discontinued the part on an older line, we source a compatible cast-metal gear that outlasts the original plastic part.

Those are the patterns. Your PGT roof component may have a different story, but a pattern like one of those is where we start looking.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Every PGT job in Pembroke Pines follows the same sequence, whether it is a skylight reseal or a full insulated-glass replacement on a roof assembly:

1. 1
   Inspection and diagnosis. A uniformed, background-checked technician walks the roof, photographs the damage, and identifies what failed and why. We show you the findings before we quote anything.
2. 2
   Written line-item quote. You get a price on paper with parts and labor separated. No allowances, no verbal ballparks, no surprises later. As Dale puts it, if it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee - it is a guess.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We present the OEM option and, where sensible, a quality aftermarket option side by side. You choose with full knowledge of the trade-offs, and we order the part the same day.
4. 4
   The repair. We measure the opening twice, set the glass or reseal the unit, and work the way we would in our own mother’s house. Drop cloths down. Work area cleaned before we leave.
5. 5
   Test and verify. We water-test the repair, cycle the unit if it vents, and confirm the operation is smooth. If the repair does not pass our test, we do it again before we call it done.
6. 6
   Warranty registration and cleanup. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, hand you a copy, and haul away the old glass and sealant. Your driveway looks the way it did when we arrived.

Most PGT roof repairs in Pembroke Pines finish in one visit. If a part has to come from the manufacturer, you will know the exact status the whole way through, and a live person will answer when you call to check.

What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Pembroke Pines

Honest numbers based on what we see across Pembroke Pines:

• Skylight curb reseal (PGT 7700 or similar): $350-$600, depending on curb condition and access.
• Gasket replacement on PGT WinGuard roof glazing: $400-$800 per unit.
• Insulated glass replacement for a failed sealed unit: $550-$1,200, depending on glass size, tint, and whether it is impact-rated.
• Roof vent operator or hardware replacement: $250-$500, parts included.
• Full Eze-Breeze roof panel replacement: $400-$900 per panel, depending on size and glazing type.

What moves the price is roof pitch, access (a second-story roof is slower work than a one-story), and whether the glass is impact-rated or standard annealed. We charge a flat labor rate, not a percentage of the job, and there is a permanent 5 percent discount for seniors and veterans on every TruePane job.

TruePane has served South Florida since 2008 through a glazing tradition that started when Dale Kessler’s father ran a small glass shop and Dale spent summers cutting lights and cleaning up cullet.

We are an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer outlet, which means we recommend repairs and replacements based on what is right for the homeowner, not what moves a factory’s inventory. We also service CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if a repair makes PGT replacement the smarter call, we can quote a replacement across multiple lines on paper, side by side, and let you see exactly what you are buying.
