PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Lauderhill: What to Know First
PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Lauderhill is work we handle as an independent PGT service provider, not as a manufacturer-authorized shop. Most PGT roofing issues we see – lifted flashing, fastener backout on tile profiles, sealant failure where shingle courses meet PGT skylight frames – can be diagnosed and corrected in a single visit. Typical turnaround runs one to two days for shingle repairs, two to three for tile re-bedding or metal panel seam work, and the estimate is always free.
This page is for homeowners in Lauderhill who have PGT roofing products already installed, or who are weighing PGT against other lines for a replacement, and want straight answers about how these products hold up in South Florida. If you’d rather talk than read, call (850) 303-7739 and a live person picks up. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
How PGT Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
After decades working on Broward County roofs, we’ve learned that PGT products fail in predictable ways. Here’s what we see most often in Lauderhill, and what we do about it:
- PGT Flat Tile profile – ridge hip cracking. The Flat Tile series carries a heavier dead load than most South Florida roofing tile, and over time the ridge hip units take stress from thermal expansion and the occasional wind-driven branch. We see hairline cracks at the ridge before the field tile ever moves. The fix is selective hip re-bedding with a polyurethane-based adhesive rated for the tile’s weight, not a slap of roof cement that fails in two summers.
- PGT Barrel Tile – color-layer spalling at the head lap. In Lauderhill’s wet-dry cycles, barrel tile absorbs moisture at the exposed edges and sheds the color coat in thin flakes. It looks worse than it is, but if it goes unaddressed the substrate starts eroding. We evaluate whether the tile still has structural life and, if it does, we seal with a breathable acrylic matched to the original finish rather than pushing a full replacement.
- PGT standing seam metal – fastener backout along the seam line. Standing seam panels expand and contract with every afternoon thunderstorm and cool-down. Over a decade, the fasteners that anchor the panels to the clips can back off just enough to let the seam flex and leak at the lap. We re-torque to manufacturer spec and replace any clip that’s lost its grip, then check the seam for the telltale gap that lets water wick sideways.
- PGT asphalt shingle – seal strip failure at the rake edge. Shingle is shingle in a lot of ways, but PGT’s architectural shingle lines run a heavier granule load than most, which means the seal strip takes longer to cure and can let go at the rake edges in high wind. We see this on Lauderhill homes after two or three hurricane seasons. The fix is re-sealing the lifted tabs with a hand-applied adhesive, not caulking the whole edge like some crews do.
- PGT skylight curb – flashing separation at the shingle transition. This is the failure that sends water down the inside of the chase and shows up as a ceiling stain nowhere near the skylight. The curb flashing PGT ships with works, but the transition where the step flashing meets the shingle course needs a specific bend and seal that gets skipped on rushed installs. We cut back the existing sealant, re-form the flashing step, and bond it with a two-part sealant that holds up to ponding water.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every PGT job follows the same order of operations. It’s how we keep the work consistent and the bill honest.
- 1
The call. A live person answers at (850) 303-7739. We ask what you’re seeing – a stain, a lifted tile, a flapping shingle – and we book a time that holds.
- 2
The inspection. A background-checked tech walks the roof and documents every issue with photos. We measure the affected area and check the surrounding roof for signs the problem is bigger than the visible damage.
- 3
The parts decision. For PGT work, we default to OEM parts when the warranty is active and the part is available. When OEM is backordered or the warranty has lapsed, we quote a quality aftermarket part side by side on paper so you see the trade-off clearly. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it.
- 4
The fix. We repair the specific failure – re-bedding tile, re-sealing flashing, re-torquing fasteners – using materials rated for South Florida’s heat, humidity, and wind. We don’t paint over rot or caulk over gaps.
- 5
The test. Before we leave, we water-test every repair we can safely test and visually confirm the rest. A repair that can’t be verified isn’t done.
- 6
The guarantee. Every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. The warranty is registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Lauderhill
Here’s what we’re quoting on PGT roofing work in Lauderhill right now. These are line-item ranges, not package prices, so you can see where the money goes.
| Repair Type | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Shingle tab re-seal (rake edges) | $180-$380 | Linear feet, roof height, accessibility |
| Tile re-bedding (ridge hip) | $14-$28 per tile | Tile count, adhesive type, substrate condition |
| Standing seam re-torque and clip replacement | $240-$550 | Panel count, fastener condition, roof pitch |
| Skylight curb flashing repair | $320-$700 | Curb size, flashing condition, chase access |
| Full shingle section replacement | $6.50-$9.00 per sq ft | Square footage, tear-off, underlayment |
What moves the price most in Lauderhill is access: a steep pitch, a tile roof that needs a harness, or a roof section that requires a lift instead of a ladder. We’ll tell you the number before we start, and that number doesn’t change on the bill. Call (850) 303-7739 for a written estimate – it’s free, and it takes about an hour.
Why Lauderhill Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We’re a Lauderhill company, not a franchise. Dale Kessler grew up off Oakland Park Boulevard, learned the trade from his father, and built TruePane Windows & Doors on a founding rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That same standard applies to every roofing repair we touch.

We’ve been serving local communities since 2008, and we plan to be here in thirty more. If you have PGT products and we’ve recommended a repair that isn’t working out, we also service CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems – so when it’s time to cross-shop a replacement, we’ll quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper and let you see exactly what you’re buying.

FAQs
No, if the repair is done correctly. PGT’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, and a properly executed repair by a qualified contractor doesn’t void it. What voids a PGT warranty is a repair that alters the product’s structural integrity – like drilling new holes in a tile without sealing them, or replacing a standing seam panel with the wrong gauge. We work warranty-safe: OEM parts when the warranty is active, and repairs that don’t modify the product beyond its original spec. Call (850) 303-7739 if you want us to check your warranty status before we start – it’s free.
We default to OEM PGT parts when your warranty is active and the part is available. When OEM is backordered – which happens more often than PGT’s lead times suggest – or the warranty has lapsed, we’ll quote a quality aftermarket alternative side by side on paper, with the trade-offs stated plainly. You decide with the facts in front of you. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it.
Most shingle and flashing repairs are done in a single visit, same week. Tile re-bedding and standing seam work usually take two to three days on site, depending on the weather window – we won’t set tile in the rain or re-torque panels in a lightning storm, and neither should anyone else. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you a straight answer on scheduling.
If the field of the roof is sound and the failure is localized – a lifted shingle course, a cracked ridge hip, a failed skylight curb – repair is the right call, and it’s what we’ll recommend. Replacement makes sense when the underlayment is compromised, when the tile bed is failing in multiple locations, or when water has already gotten into the deck. We’ll show you photos from the roof and walk you through the math before you spend a dollar.
No. The estimate we give you before the job is the number on the bill when we finish. If we open up the roof and find damage we couldn’t see from the surface, we stop, show you what we found, and re-quote before we touch it. No surprise line items, ever. That’s the square deal we’ve run on since 2008, and it’s why Lauderhill homeowners keep our number.
