PGT Custom Windows & Doors in Wellington: What to Know First
PGT custom windows and doors in Wellington are typically serviced by us as an independent PGT service provider, with most custom-shape window repairs running $240 to $680 and full custom door replacements ranging from $1,800 to $4,900 depending on glass package and frame condition. Turnaround on most custom PGT work is one to two weeks, because we order glass to spec rather than forcing an off-the-shelf unit into an opening it wasn’t made for. If you’re a Wellington homeowner with a PGT window that’s fogged, a custom arch that’s lost its seal, or a door that binds in August humidity, this page covers what you need to know before you spend a dollar. Call (561) 349-4826 and a live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We work on PGT windows and doors across Wellington every week, and certain failure patterns show up more than others. Here’s what we see, and what we do about it.
- Seal failure on PGT WinGuard casement and picture windows. The insulated glass units on WinGuard windows from the mid-2000s and earlier tend to lose argon and pull moisture between the panes after twelve to fifteen years in Wellington’s wet-dry climate. You won’t find this stated on PGT’s site, but we see it constantly in Wellington’s older subdivisions. Fix: we order a new IGU cut to the exact custom dimensions, set it with fresh glazing tape, and register the work in writing.
- Roller wear on PGT 9500 Series sliding glass doors. These doors are heavy, and the original rollers wear flat over ten or so years of daily use. The door starts dragging, then the frame misaligns and the lock won’t catch. We replace the rollers with either OEM or a machined aftermarket set that outlasts the originals, then adjust the track so the door runs square.
- Arch-top and radius window seal breakdown. Custom radius PGT windows are the most common custom-shape call we get in Wellington. Because the curved glass is cut to a specific radius, a fogged pane can’t be swapped for a stock unit. We field-template the exact curve, have the IGU fabricated to match, and set it without disturbing the surrounding frame. This is the same fix chain that runs $440 to $680 on a typical Wellington home.
- Hardware sag on PGT French and hinged patio doors. After years of Wellington humidity swings, the hinges on PGT hinged doors develop slight vertical sag, and the door starts scraping the threshold. A lot of companies will shim the hinge and call it done. We check the frame for racking first, then either rebuild the hinge mortise or replace the hinge assembly so the door hangs true, not just “better than before.”
- Water intrusion at custom mullion joints. On multi-panel PGT window walls with mullions, the factory join can separate over time and let wind-driven rain into the rough opening during summer squalls. We disassemble the mull joint, clean the old sealant, re-bed it with a marine-grade sealant rated for South Florida exposure, and re-tape the perimeter. If it’s not dry after the fix, we don’t sign off on it.
Our PGT Custom Windows & Doors Process
Every PGT job in Wellington runs the same way, whether it’s a single custom window or a full storefront replacement.
- 1
The call. A live person answers at (561) 349-4826 and asks what you’re seeing. If it’s urgent, we’ll send a tech the same day. If it’s not, we schedule a visit at a time we can keep.
- 2
The measure and diagnosis. Our tech measures every opening twice, checks the glass, the frame, the hardware, and the existing sealant. We note the PGT series, glass type, and any prior repair work before we ever quote a dollar.
- 3
The quote on paper. You get a written, line-item estimate that shows OEM versus quality aftermarket parts options, lead time, and labor. We don’t give verbal ballparks and hope you’ll sign. We want you to see exactly what you’re buying.
- 4
The work. We order the correct IGU or hardware, fabricate nothing on-site that should be factory-made, and schedule the install. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s house.
- 5
The test. Before we leave, we run the window through full cycles, check the seal, verify the square, and confirm the lock engages clean. On doors, we test the threshold, the sweep, and the panel alignment.
- 6
The warranty registration. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What PGT Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Wellington
Here’s what PGT custom windows and doors work runs in Wellington. These are line-item ranges, not guesses.
- Custom-shape IGU replacement (arch, radius, trapezoid): $440 to $680 per unit, depending on glass size and frame condition.

What moves the price more than anything is the glass package and whether the frame can be salvaged or needs rebuilding.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’ve been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors in Palm Beach County since 2008, and half the houses in Wellington still have the original PGT units that we’ve serviced across the county for decades. Our founder, Dale Kessler, grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park neighborhood watching his father drive past houses with aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades, and that’s why he built TruePane Windows & Doors the way he did: as an independent PGT service provider that registers both warranty layers in writing and stands behind the work with a Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither. If a PGT part isn’t available or a replacement line makes more sense, we quote options side by side on paper, including Andersen, Pella, and CGI units where they fit the opening better. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. We’ll be there when we say.
FAQs
No, we’re an independent PGT service provider, which means we work on PGT windows and doors without being tied to a manufacturer’s sales targets or replacement-only policies. That independence is exactly why we can offer both OEM and quality aftermarket parts on the same written quote and let the homeowner decide.
Yes, in most cases we field-template the opening to match the exact radius or angle, then have an insulated glass unit fabricated to match the original PGT glass spec and dimensions. The frame stays in place when it’s sound, so the replacement looks original and seals properly. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free exact quote.
Most custom-shape IGU replacements are completed in one to two weeks from the day we template the opening, because we order glass to spec instead of forcing a stock unit into a custom frame. If the window is leaking water and not just fogged, call us same day and we’ll get someone out to assess it. Estimates are free.
If the repair is done incorrectly with the wrong parts, yes, a failed repair can void the original PGT warranty. That’s why every TruePane job includes written warranty registration with durations stated before we leave the driveway. We don’t do work that puts your coverage at risk. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall.
We do. Custom PGT storefront glazing, curtain wall systems, and oversized architectural glass panels are part of our regular scope in Wellington, and they’re bid with line-item pricing just like every residential job. For a commercial PGT opening, call (561) 349-4826 and ask for Dale. We’ll schedule a site walk and give you a written quote.
