This page is for Wellington homeowners who bought PGT impact windows and doors years ago and are now seeing seal fog, binding tracks, or latches that don’t bite the way they used to. If that’s you, here’s what we’ve learned from working on PGT units in this climate for going on three decades.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid impact-rated product, but Wellington’s sun, salt air, and summer humidity work on every window and door eventually. Here are the failure modes we see most often on PGT units in this area, and what we do about them.

• WinGuard sliding glass door rollers bind and flatten. The original rollers on older PGT WinGuard sliders are nylon, and after eight or ten years of Wellington heat they develop flat spots. The door gets heavy, then it grinds, then it won’t move at all. We replace them with sealed stainless-steel roller assemblies and adjust the track so the panel carries true again.
• Insulated glass seal failure shows up as interior fog. On PGT 5500 and 7700 series impact windows, a broken seal lets moisture into the airspace between panes. In Wellington’s wet season, that fog is constant and the low-E coating starts to degrade. We replace the insulated glass unit with OEmatch glass and new desiccant, then re-seal the sash. The unit performs like new.
• Multi-point lock hardware on PGT entry doors drifts out of alignment. PGT impact entry doors use a multi-point locking system with shoot bolts and rollers. Door slabs settle over time, and the shoot bolts stop lining up with the keepers. You’ll feel resistance in the handle or hear a rattle when the door is closed and locked. We re-align the slab, adjust the keepers, and if the gearbox is worn we replace it, not the whole door.
• Weep holes clog and water sits in the track. PGT impact windows and sliders drain through weep channels at the sill. Pollen, Saharan dust, and landscaping debris from Wellington yards clog those channels, and standing water starts corroding the track or wicking into the frame. We clear the weeps, check the slope, and replace damaged weatherstripping so water leaves the unit the way PGT designed it to.
• Laminated impact glass delaminates at the edges. We don’t see this often, but when we do it’s on PGT units installed in the early 2000s with edge seals that have been baked by direct western exposure. The lamination starts to separate and cloud from the perimeter inward. There’s no repair for delamination. The fix is a new impact-rated IG unit, and we’ll quote it side by side against a full sash replacement so you see both numbers on paper.

Our PGT Impact Windows & Doors Process

Every PGT job we do in Wellington follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no surprises.

1. 1
   You call (561) 349-4826. A live person answers, day or night. You describe what the window or door is doing. We listen and ask specific questions about the symptom.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives when we said, measures the opening twice, and identifies exactly what’s failing. You hear the cause in plain English, not a sales pitch.
3. 3
   We put options on paper. Repair or replace, OEM or quality aftermarket, line by line, with fixed pricing. If the unit is under warranty, we tell you what that covers before you spend a dollar.
4. 4
   We do the work. Most repairs finish in one visit. If replacement is the path, we order the correct PGT-compatible unit and schedule the install around your calendar.
5. 5
   We test it in front of you. Locks cycle, rollers roll, seals seat, and the panel moves true. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job we do, not just the big ones.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. He grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park neighborhood, where half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades. That bothered him enough to make it his life’s work.
