AfterPGT Roof Repair in Lauderhill: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in Lauderhill typically runs between $180 and $640 depending on whether we’re replacing a single seal, rebuilding a leak path around a curb-mounted unit, or swapping damaged flashing. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and the price we quote is the price you pay. If you own a PGT product that’s leaking, fogged, or not closing square, call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll tell you straight what we’re dealing with.
This page is for Lauderhill homeowners who installed PGT windows, doors, or skylights and are now watching water find its way inside. We’re an independent PGT service provider. We repair the roof-side failures that PGT’s warranty doesn’t always cover: the flashing, the curb, the sealant joints, the decking rot that started long before the leak showed itself. Dale Kessler grew up off Oakland Park Boulevard in Lauderhill, and he’s been setting and sealing openings across Broward County for the better part of three decades. We know what PGT products do in this climate.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT WinGuard skylights and the curb-flashing joint. WinGuard skylights are built for impact, but the curb they sit on is wood and flashing, and that’s where Lauderhill leaks begin. We regularly see homeowners in the Inverrary and St. George neighborhoods who assumed the skylight failed, when the real problem was step flashing that lifted during a summer storm and let water ride under the shingles. We rebuild the curb, reflash it, and reset the unit. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- PGT 450 Series windows under roof valleys. Here’s a detail you won’t find on PGT’s site: the 450 Series double-hung has a weep system that can clog in Lauderhill’s wet season. When roof runoff concentrates near a valley and dumps against the upper sash, debris washes down and plugs the weeps. Water pools in the track, then migrates inside the wall. The window itself is fine; the drainage path isn’t. We clear it, re-grade the roof edge if needed, and add a diverter so the runoff doesn’t hammer the window every time it rains.
- PGT Architectural Series sliding doors with header deflection. These are heavy doors. When a roof section settles or a header deflects even a quarter inch, the door binds and the top corner loses its seal. Lauderhill’s soil expands and contracts with the wet-dry cycle, and houses on slab foundations move more than owners realize. We measure the opening twice, shim the header properly, and reset the frame so the door rides square again.
- PGT Eze-Breeze porch panels roof-side seals. The Eze-Breeze system is popular on enclosed patios across Lauderhill, and the vertical seams are fairly reliable. The failures we see are where the top track meets the roof fascia. If that connection wasn’t flashed and caulked correctly, rain runs behind the track and drips down the panel joints. We remove the top trim, reestablish a proper drip edge, and reseal with a polyurethane sealant rated for Florida sun.
- PGT casement and awning operators that get stiff after roof work. When a roofing crew walks a section near a PGT casement, the movement can knock the frame out of square by barely anything. The operator still works, but the sash no longer seats against the weatherstripping. We see this after re-roofs in Lauderhill all the time. Our fix is a frame re-square and hinge adjustment, not a new window.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
- 1
Diagnostics, not guessing. We inspect the unit, the rough opening, the flashing, and the nearest roof plane. We look for the second problem hiding behind the first one. We don’t quote anything until we know what we’re fixing.
- 2
Parts decision on paper. PGT OEM parts hold the warranty where it still applies. Sometimes a quality aftermarket seal or operator is the better call on a unit that’s past its warranty term. We quote both options side by side, in writing, and tell you which one we’d put in our own house.
- 3
Protecting the opening. Before we touch anything, we seal off the work area and protect the interior. Roof repair means water control, and we treat your floors and furniture like they belong to our mother.
- 4
The repair itself. Flashing gets rebuilt. Curbed units get reset. Frames get re-squared. Sealant gets applied clean and tooled properly, not smeared. Every PGT product gets repaired to the manufacturer’s installation spec, even when we’re using aftermarket components.
- 5
Water test and function test. We run water over the repaired area with a controlled spray and watch. The unit gets operated through its full cycle. If anything’s not right, we fix it before we leave.
- 6
Cleanup and paperwork. We sweep, we haul, we walk you through what we did. Your written quote becomes your written record. Both warranty layers on any new components are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Lauderhill
| Repair Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Seal/flashing replacement (single unit) | $180 - $320 |
| Curb rebuild and reflash (skylight or roof window) | $380 - $640 |
| Frame re-square and operator adjustment | $220 - $380 |
| Weep system clearing and roof-edge diverter | $160 - $280 |
| Header/frame reset for sliding door | $450 - $700 |
What moves the price is access. A first-floor window with a straight ladder is one thing. A second-story unit over a tile roof with a steep pitch is another. Rot repair adds cost because we’re not going to seal over damaged wood and call it done. We quote fixed pricing with no change orders, and most PGT roof repairs in Lauderhill are done in one visit. Call (850) 303-7739 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the number on the paperwork is the number on the bill.

FAQs
No. We perform repairs to manufacturer installation specifications, and we use PGT OEM parts whenever a warranty claim is still in play. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a PGT-authorized shop, and we’ll never tell you a repair is covered by PGT when it isn’t. We register any manufacturer warranty layers on the parts we install, in writing, with durations stated before the truck leaves the driveway.
In most Lauderhill cases, yes. We keep the common seal kits, operators, and flashing materials for PGT’s most-sold lines in Broward County on hand, so we’re not waiting on a parts drop for a standard repair. For less common parts, we order from the same supply chain a PGT dealer uses, and we can tell you on the first call whether the part is days out or weeks out. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you a straight answer on availability.
Repair makes sense when the frame is sound and the glass is intact. In Lauderhill we commonly replace only the seal, the flashing, or the operator hardware on PGT units that are ten or fifteen years old and still structurally good. Replace when the frame has rot beyond a small section, the glass is compromised, or the unit no longer meets current impact code and you plan to stay in the house for another decade. We’ll quote both directions and tell you which one we’d pick for our own home.
We work leaks into the schedule the same week in almost every case, and a real person will answer when you call at any hour. We serve all of Lauderhill, from Inverrary to St. George to the neighborhoods around City Hall. If water is actively coming in, we’ll tell you exactly what to do to minimize damage until we arrive, and we never charge for that phone guidance.
No. We quote fixed pricing before we begin, and we don’t write change orders after the fact. The only exception is hidden rot discovered during the repair that requires additional framing, and in that case we stop, show you the problem, and get your written approval before we spend another dollar. A square deal means the number we give you is the number you pay.
