PGT Roof Repair in Wellington: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in Wellington typically runs between $275 and $1,400 depending on whether we’re resetting a skylight curb, replacing flashing around a roof-mounted vent, or resealing the roof-to-wall transition where a PGT impact window meets the roof deck. Most PGT roof-related repairs take one visit, and we carry the flashing, sealants, and PGT-compatible parts on the truck so we’re not scheduling a second appointment just to finish the job. This page is for Wellington homeowners who own PGT windows, skylights, or roof glazing and need the repair done without voiding the manufacturer warranty. Call (561) 349-4826 and a live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We’ve worked on PGT products in Wellington for years, and the failure patterns are consistent. Here’s what we see most often, the real cause, and what we do about it.
- PGT WinGuard roof-to-wall flashing separation. In Wellington’s summer storm cycle, the roof deck swells and contracts daily. On PGT WinGuard impact windows installed in gable walls or dormers, the flashing joint between the window’s top fin and the roof deck is the first place water gets in. The symptom is a water stain on the interior drywall below the window after a hard rain. The cause is almost always step flashing that was never properly interleaved with the shingles. We strip the affected area, re-lay the step flashing, and reseal the fin with PGT-approved sealant.
- PGT Skye skylight curb rot and seal failure. PGT’s Skye skylight line uses an aluminum curb that mounts to the roof deck. In Wellington’s humidity, condensation collects between the curb and the deck, and over ten or fifteen years the wood under the curb rots. The skylight stays intact but the seal fails from below. We remove the skylight, repair or re-frame the curb opening, and reset the unit with a new membrane seal. This is a repair you won’t find described on PGT’s consumer site, because it’s a Wellington climate reality, not a manufacturing defect.
- PGT 5500 Series operator failure from roof runoff. The 5500 Series casement and awning windows are popular in Wellington homes, but when they’re installed under a roof valley or a short eave, runoff sheets over the operator hardware. The hardware corrodes and the window won’t close fully. We strip the operator, replace it with the correct PGT hardware set, and add a diverter where the roofline allows it. The diverter detail matters: without it, the new hardware fails the same way in two seasons.
- PGT roof-mounted vent flashing cracks. Many Wellington homes have PGT-branded ridge vents and roof windows tied into the same flashing system. The aluminum flashing at the vent base develops hairline cracks from thermal cycling, and water follows the crack to the deck. We remove the vent, inspect the deck under it, flash to the roof pitch with the correct gauge metal, and reset the vent. If the deck is soft, we say so before we button it back up. No surprises.
- PGT Architectural Series gasket compression loss. On PGT Architectural Series fixed windows set high in a roof assembly, the perimeter gasket that holds the glass in the frame loses compression after years of Florida heat. That’s the fog you see, and why a window that worked fine for a decade suddenly shows condensation between the panes. We deglaze the unit, replace the gasket with PGT-spec material, and re-bed the glass. If the sash is warped beyond tolerance, we quote the replacement sash alongside the repair so you can choose.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call and describe what you’re seeing. A live person answers at (561) 349-4826 and asks the questions that matter: where’s the water showing up, when did it start, what model PGT do you have.
- 2
We schedule the visit and come prepared. Our technicians drive out with PGT flashing profiles, sealants, and hardware sets for the common series. We don’t show up to diagnose and then leave for parts.
- 3
On the roof, we trace the failure to its source. We don’t patch the visible stain. We lift shingles, check the underlayment, and find where water is actually entering. That’s the repair that matters.
- 4
We give you a written line-item quote before we touch anything. Side-by-side options if parts are a factor: OEM PGT or a quality aftermarket equivalent. You decide with the numbers on paper.
- 5
We do the repair and test it. Water test, seal check, hardware operation. If the pane isn’t true or the seal doesn’t hold, the job isn’t done.
- 6
We register the work under our Done Right Promise. The workmanship guarantee is in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights.

FAQs
No, not when the repair is done correctly with PGT-spec parts and sealants. As an independent PGT service provider, we follow the manufacturer’s installation and repair standards so your PGT warranty stays intact. If a repair isn’t warranty-safe, we’ll tell you plainly before we start. Call (561) 349-4826 to talk through your specific situation.
Most PGT roof repairs we handle in Wellington are completed in a single visit, and for an active leak we’ll get to you as quickly as our schedule permits that week. Call (561) 349-4826 and a live person will book the appointment directly. No callback form, no voicemail tree.
We quote both side by side on paper and let you choose. OEM PGT parts are warranty-clean and match exactly. Quality aftermarket parts can save money and are appropriate in some hardware and flashing situations. We’ll show you the difference in writing, not talk you past it. Free estimates at (561) 349-4826.
If the glass is intact, the frame is square, and the failure is in the seal, flashing, or hardware, repair is almost always the better call. We recommend replacement when the frame is warped, the deck under a skylight is rotten beyond patching, or the unit is old enough that the warranty no longer applies and more failures are coming. Either way, you’ll get the honest answer with numbers on paper. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.
For most PGT roof repair work, no permit is required in Wellington. When the repair scope crosses into structural territory, like rebuilding a rotted skylight curb or reframing a roof opening, we pull the permit and handle the inspection. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll tell you what your specific repair needs.
