How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT makes a solid window and door line, but roof replacement in Pembroke Pines is its own discipline. We see the same handful of failure points across western Broward County, and most of them are not the product’s fault. They are installation or integration problems that have been left alone too long.
- Roof-to-fascia flashing failure around PGT skylights and roof windows. On PGT’s fixed skylight units, the flashing kit is only as good as the roofer who lapped it. We regularly find flashing that was nailed directly through the shingle without proper step flashing underneath. Water follows the nail holes into the underlayment and by the time the homeowner sees a stain on the ceiling, the decking is soft for two feet in every direction. Our fix is a full de-roof of the affected slope, new step and counter-flashing, and replacement of any rotted decking before the new underlayment goes down.
- Improper tie-in at roof valleys where PGT roof windows meet the deck. A roof window installed in a valley collects everything the valley drains. If the installer used flat stock flashing instead of a custom valley pan, water backs up under the leading edge. We open the valley, install a soldered or sealed valley pan, and re-set the sash. This is a Pembroke Pines-specific issue because our summer downpours can put three inches of water across a valley in twenty minutes.
- Premature underlayment breakdown beneath PGT’s curb-mounted skylights. The skylight itself may be fine. The synthetic underlayment around the curb is what fails first, especially when the roofer used a cheaper felt product instead of a high-temp synthetic. Florida attic heat cycles cook felt in five to seven years. We replace with synthetic rated for 315 degrees or higher, which handles what a Pembroke Pines attic actually gets to in August.
- Seal failures on PGT’s older fixed roof glass panels where the gasket has lost its compression. This is the one case where the product itself is the problem. PGT’s early fixed glazing used EPDM gaskets that shrink with age and ozone exposure. Once they shrink, water sits against the glass edge and the seal starts to go. Replacement of the gasket and re-setting the glass in a fresh bed of sealant fixes it permanently. Newer PGT lines use a different gasket compound that does not shrink the same way.
- Roof deck sag around PGT sliding roof windows with undersized headers. A roof window is an opening, and the opening needs a proper header. If the original installer notched a rafter or put a window in without structural support, the deck sags and the window jams or the glass stresses. We inspect the framing first, sister new framing where needed, and only then reinstall or replace the unit. Cutting the framing corner is how a ten-year-old window ends up cracked and a ceiling starts bowing.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
We send a technician who knows roof systems, not a salesperson. The first visit is on your roof, in your attic, and at the window. We measure, photograph, and check the existing flashing, underlayment, and framing before we ever talk price.
- 2
We give you parts and pricing in writing. If the job needs PGT OEM materials, we price them. If a quality aftermarket option is the smarter spend, we show you both. You choose, and the number does not change after that.
- 3
We tear off and inspect the decking. Failing decking gets replaced before new underlayment goes down. We do not roof over rot in Pembroke Pines, where humidity feeds it year round.
- 4
We install the PGT system and seal it in stages. Underlayment first, then flashing, then the window or skylight, then a final sealant pass. Every stage gets a visual check before the next starts.
- 5
We test before we clean up. We water-test the flashing, run the sash through its full cycle, and check the drainage. Then the site gets cleaned, the nails get swept, and Dale Kessler signs off on the job himself before it is considered done.
- 6
We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If anything is wrong within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork argument.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Pembroke Pines
Here is what our Pembroke Pines customers can expect on common PGT roof scenarios. The ranges reflect materials, labor, permits, and disposal.
- PGT fixed skylight replacement with full flashing rebuild: $3,800 to $7,200
- PGT roof window removal and re-flash with decking repair: $4,500 to $8,900
- Full roof replacement around existing PGT units, including new underlayment and flashing: $14,500 to $27,000
- Structural repair for sagging roof openings under PGT windows, before new window installation: $2,800 to $6,400
The two things that move price the most are the condition of the decking and the number of PGT units that need re-setting. A roof that looks fine from the street can hide decking that needs full replacement, and that is the difference between a mid-range and a high-end job. Call (863) 208-6105 and we will give you a written estimate you can read through at your kitchen table.

FAQs
Yes, in most cases the flashing around a PGT roof window can be replaced without re-roofing the entire home, as long as the surrounding shingles and decking are still in good condition. The affected slope gets de-roofed, new step and counter-flashing goes in, and we re-lay the shingles. If the decking beneath is rotted, that segment gets replaced too. Call (863) 208-6105 and we will tell you what your roof actually needs after we inspect it.
A proper roof replacement performed by a licensed contractor will not void your PGT warranty, but sloppy flashing work that damages the frame or seal can lead to a denied claim. The manufacturer cares about improper installation, and we document every step so the work is defensible. If something was installed wrong before we got there, we will tell you before we quote, not after the job starts. Call (863) 208-6105 for an honest assessment.
Most PGT skylight replacements in Pembroke Pines take one to two days from first cut to final cleanup, weather depending. If the decking around the curb needs replacement, add a day. If the flashing is the only issue, it is often a half-day job. We will give you a clear timeline in writing when we quote the work, and we will be there when we say. Call (863) 208-6105 to schedule.
If the frame is still square, the sash operates correctly, and the seal has not failed, repair is usually the smarter spend. If the frame is rotten, warped, or the glass has lost its seal, replacement is the better long-term play. The test is whether the repair buys you five more years or one. We will show you the side-by-side math and let you decide. Call (863) 208-6105 and we will put it in writing.
Yes, we pull all required permits for roof replacement and structural work in Pembroke Pines, and the permit cost is included in your written estimate. We do not ask a homeowner to handle permitting, and we do not skip it to shave the price. If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee, and that applies to permits as much as warranties. Call (863) 208-6105 to talk through the full scope.
