PGT has been a dominant name in South Florida impact-rated fenestration since the 1980s, and their products saturate the Lighthouse Point housing stock - especially WinGuard® aluminum and vinyl impact windows installed during the 2004-2017 post-hurricane retrofit boom. The city’s canal-wrapped lots expose these frames to aggressive multi-directional salt-air corrosion that inland Broward cities rarely match, accelerating hardware degradation and seal failure beyond normal wear curves.

We are not affiliated with or authorized by PGT Custom Windows + Doors. We operate as an independent service provider with twenty years of hands-on experience diagnosing, repairing, and replacing PGT systems across South Florida, including Pgt repair in Pompano Beach and surrounding areas. Our expertise is field-built, not factory-delegated.

Every engagement starts with Haven Clause 1: a measured survey you keep, and a written price that matches it exactly. Sonia Raman, our owner, has measured and fitted PGT products throughout Lighthouse Point since the early 2000s, including canal-front properties near the Lighthouse Point Marina where salt exposure makes product selection genuinely consequential. Measure twice, write it down, then we talk price.

Why Trust Sightline Windows & Doors Lighthouse Point for Your PGT Windows & Doors?

PGT hardware has specific tolerances. Their roller assemblies for horizontal slider windows, multi-point locking systems for entry doors, and interlayer bonding in impact glass units require technicians who have worked on these exact assemblies hundreds of times. Our crew has.

Sonia Raman studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College before spending the better part of two decades measuring, fitting, and finishing windows and doors across South Florida. She and her crew have worked jobs throughout Lighthouse Point, including Pgt repair in Deerfield Beach and installations along the canal-front properties near the Lighthouse Point Marina. That background means we read a PGT frame the way a glazier reads glass: we note oxidation patterns at the weep holes, check track alignment against factory spec, and verify whether fogging between panes indicates seal failure or frame deflection.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. We stock PGT OEM rollers, locks, and weatherstripping locally, and we document every visit with photo evidence you receive - Haven Clause 4, Evidence on Every Job. If we recommend replacement over repair, we explain why in terms of impact rating, energy performance, and code compliance, not in sales language, and we can detail our Window Installation services if needed.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every PGT service call. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That is written into the Haven Standard, not offered as a courtesy.

Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in Lighthouse Point

• Failed impact glass seals on WinGuard® units. The laminated interlayer and sealed insulating glass unit (IGU) in PGT WinGuard® windows can degrade after years of thermal cycling and UV exposure, especially when salt air attacks the edge seals. Fogging or hazing between panes means the IGU has lost its argon fill and desiccant saturation. This cannot be repaired in the field - the glass unit must be replaced to restore impact rating and U-factor performance. We verify the NOA number on the existing frame and source matching replacement glass with correct Miami-Dade approval documentation.
• Corroded rollers and tracks on horizontal roller windows. PGT’s horizontal roller assemblies use stainless steel rollers in aluminum housings, but the track itself is extruded aluminum. In Lighthouse Point’s canal environment, salt air infiltrates the track channel, oxidizing the surface and pitting the roller axles. The sash drags, binds, or jumps the track. We stock PGT OEM roller kits with correct axle diameter and load rating, and we machine-clean the track before reassembly. If the track is too degraded, we recommend sash and frame replacement.
• Degraded weatherstripping and compression gaskets on entry doors. PGT entry door systems rely on continuous bulb seals and compression gaskets at the frame jamb and sill. Salt crystallization stiffens these components, creating gaps that admit water during wind-driven rain and leak conditioned air year-round. We replace with PGT-specified gasket profiles or equivalent aftermarket material rated for coastal UV and ozone exposure.
• Frame corner separation and weep hole blockage in aluminum units. PGT WinGuard® aluminum frames use mechanical corners with thermal break inserts. Salt accumulation at weep holes causes galvanic corrosion where dissimilar metals meet, eventually opening the corner joint. Water enters the frame cavity and exits at the interior sill. We disassemble, clean, and reseal corners when structurally sound; we replace the sash or full frame when corrosion has compromised the thermal break or impact shell.
• Multi-point lock misalignment on French and entry doors. PGT’s multi-point locking systems require precise keeper alignment at the header, deadbolt, and sill points. Foundation settling, common in Lighthouse Point’s 1950s-1970s CBS ranch stock, shifts door frames and throws off this geometry. We adjust or replace keepers, realign the door slab in the frame, and verify full latch engagement at all points.

PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

We prioritize genuine PGT OEM parts for critical components: rollers, locks, glass units, and weatherstripping profiles. These parts carry the dimensional tolerances and material specifications that maintain the product’s Miami-Dade NOA compliance. For non-structural items like snap-in glazing beads or interior screen frames, we use high-quality aftermarket equivalents when OEM availability is limited.

Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward. If the PGT frame or sash is structurally compromised - corrosion through the wall section, thermal break failure, or impact-shell delamination - we recommend full replacement. A repaired frame cannot carry the original NOA, and Lighthouse Point’s HVHZ permit inspectors will flag it. If the glass seal has failed on a sealed IGU, replacement is mandatory; field defogging voids the impact rating and any remaining warranty coverage.

We stock PGT OEM rollers, lock sets, and common gasket profiles locally for same-visit completion on most service calls. Glass unit replacements typically require two to three weeks for custom fabrication and NOA verification. Call (754) 600-8907 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Our PGT Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with measured survey. We arrive with calibrated measuring tools and a PGT product reference library. We record frame dimensions, sightline measurements, hardware series markings, and glass unit etch data (the small code in the corner of impact glass that identifies the fabricator, NOA, and date). You keep this survey - Haven Clause 1.
2. 2
   Written scope and price. Before any tool is lifted, we present a written scope with line-item pricing: parts, labor, and any necessary permit or inspection fees. The measurement and the quote are the same document. No change orders, no surprises - Haven Clause 5.
3. 3
   Repair or installation with OEM parts. We use PGT OEM components for all structural and operational parts. We photograph each stage: before condition, part replacement, and final assembly. These photos join your job record - Haven Clause 4.
4. 4
   Operational testing and code verification. We cycle every window or door through its full range, verify lock engagement, check weep hole drainage, and confirm the assembly matches the NOA documentation on file with Miami-Dade. For replacements, we schedule rough and final inspection with Lighthouse Point building officials.
5. 5
   Documentation and warranty. You receive the final invoice (identical to the written quote), the photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything fails, we return and correct it.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors Service in Lighthouse Point

Is Sightline Windows & Doors Lighthouse Point authorized by PGT?

No. We are an independent PGT service provider with no affiliation to PGT Custom Windows + Doors. Our technicians are trained on PGT products through field experience, not factory authorization. We use genuine PGT OEM parts and maintain our own technical documentation and parts inventory.

Do you use genuine PGT/OEM parts?

Yes, for all critical components: rollers, locks, glass units, and weatherstripping profiles specified in the original NOA. We use quality aftermarket parts only for non-structural items when OEM availability is limited. We document the source of every part on your written invoice.

How long does PGT service take?

Most roller, lock, and gasket repairs complete in a single visit of two to three hours. Glass unit replacements require two to three weeks for custom fabrication and NOA-matched ordering. We schedule installation the day the glass arrives. Call (754) 600-8907 to schedule - estimates are free.

What PGT models/series do you cover?

We service WinGuard® Aluminum and Vinyl impact windows, Cambridge Series vinyl windows, and Sentinel Series entry door systems. This includes single hung, horizontal roller, casement, fixed, sliding glass door, French door, and lanai configurations. If your unit has a visible PGT logo or etch code, we can identify and source for it.

Will service void my PGT warranty?

PGT’s original manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under specific terms and time limits. Our independent service does not extend or renew that warranty. However, our work is covered by Sightline’s 365-Day Done Right Promise, and we use OEM parts that maintain the product’s intended performance. For warranty claims still within PGT’s original period, we can document our findings to support your claim with the manufacturer.

How much does PGT windows & doors service cost in Lighthouse Point?

Roller and lock repairs typically run $180-$340 per opening. Glass unit replacement on standard WinGuard® horizontal rollers ranges $650-$1,200 depending on size, grid pattern, and low-E coating. Full frame replacement with impact-rated PGT product starts around $1,400 per opening installed, with multi-opening projects reducing per-unit cost. Permit and inspection fees for Lighthouse Point add $85-$150 per project. These are real ranges from our 2024-2025 Lighthouse Point jobs, not teaser prices. Call (754) 600-8907 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

My PGT WinGuard® windows are fogging between the glass panes-can this be repaired?

No. Fogging between panes indicates seal failure in the insulated glass unit (IGU). The desiccant is saturated and the argon fill is lost. This cannot be reversed in the field. The glass unit must be replaced with a new PGT-specified IGU that carries the correct Miami-Dade NOA for your frame series. We measure, order, and install the replacement. Call (754) 600-8907 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Do you carry replacement rollers for PGT horizontal roller windows?

Yes. We stock PGT OEM roller assemblies for standard WinGuard® horizontal roller sizes in our local inventory. Most replacements complete in one visit. If your window uses a discontinued roller profile, we machine-adapt a current OEM equivalent or recommend sash replacement if the track is too degraded.

Can you replace just the glass in my PGT impact door?

Yes, if the door frame and sash are structurally sound. We order the replacement impact-rated glass unit from PGT’s certified fabricator network, matched to the original NOA. The frame must pass our structural inspection; corroded or delaminated frames require full door replacement to maintain HVHZ compliance in Lighthouse Point.

Are PGT Cambridge Series windows still serviceable?

Yes. Cambridge Series vinyl windows remain in production, and PGT continues to supply hardware and glass units for this line. We service Cambridge Series products regularly in Lighthouse Point’s 1990s-2000s housing stock. Parts availability is generally good; discontinued sash profiles may require full frame replacement.

What maintenance does PGT recommend for impact windows in coastal Lighthouse Point?

PGT recommends quarterly cleaning of frames and hardware with mild soap and fresh water - never pressure washing, which can force water past seals and damage weep hole baffles. Lubricate locks and rollers annually with a silicone-based product, not petroleum grease which attracts salt grit. Inspect weep holes for blockage; salt accumulation is rapid on canal-front homes. We offer maintenance inspections that include frame readings, hardware cycling, and photo documentation. Call (754) 600-8907 to schedule - estimates are free.
