PGT Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

PGT roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $350 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing flashing, resealing skylight curbs, or rebuilding a roof-to-wall transition around PGT impact windows. Most PGT-related roof repairs take us one to two days on site, and we give you a written line-item price before any work begins. If you’re seeing water stains near a PGT window or door, or you’ve got roof leaks that started after an impact installation, call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll send a tech who knows exactly what to look for.

This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who own PGT windows, doors, or skylights and need roof work done around them. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and Ed Winslow has been fixing Fort Lauderdale homes since 2011.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

The roof leaks we chase in Fort Lauderdale rarely start at the shingles. They start where the roof meets a PGT opening. Here’s what we actually see, week after week:

• PGT WinGuard roof-to-wall flashing failure. WinGuard is PGT’s impact line, and it’s built tough, but the transition between roof decking and the window header is only as good as the flashing that was installed. On older Fort Lauderdale homes near Victoria Park and Rio Vista, we regularly pull back rotted step flashing that was never properly integrated with the window’s nailing flange. We remove the old material, install new code-compliant flashing, and rebuild the transition so water sheds away from the window, not into the wall cavity.
• Skylight curb leaks on PGT skylights. PGT skylights sit on a curb, and that curb is a roof component. In Fort Lauderdale’s wet season, we see the curb flashing separate from the underlayment because the original installer used roofing cement instead of a proper waterproof membrane. The symptom: staining that appears only after heavy afternoon downpours. Our fix includes stripping the area to decking, applying new self-adhered membrane, and reinstalling the skylight with new OEM-compatible gaskets.
• Drip edge and fascia rot around PGT sliding glass door headers. The PGT 5500 Series sliding door is common in Fort Lauderdale homes, and its header takes the brunt of roof runoff when gutters are undersized or clogged. Water backs up, rots the drip edge, and migrates into the door frame. We replace the damaged wood, install new drip edge with proper overhang, and reseal the door’s top flange.
• Caulk and sealant breakdown at PGT roof-to-door transitions. Fort Lauderdale’s UV exposure plus salt air breaks down most exterior sealants within three to five years. PGT doors and windows with roof overhangs less than 18 inches deep are especially vulnerable. We use a commercial-grade polyurethane sealant that holds up far longer than the acrylic caulk most handymen use.
• Improper aftermarket parts causing repear failures. We’ve taken over plenty of Fort Lauderdale repairs where someone used a generic flashing kit instead of PGT-compatible profiles. The result: repeat leaks within a year. We use OEM PGT parts when available, and when we use aftermarket components, they’re selected to match PGT’s exact profile and finish, not whatever is cheapest at the supply house.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Here’s what happens when you call us about a PGT-related roof problem in Fort Lauderdale:

1. 1
   You call (904) 747-8989. A live person answers, 24/7. We take down what you’re seeing and any history of the issue. No voicemail, no call center.
2. 2
   We diagnose in person. A background-checked, uniformed tech comes out, inspects the roof-to-window or roof-to-door transition, runs water tests when needed, and documents everything with photos.
3. 3
   We give you a written price before we start. Line items for materials, labor, and disposal. The price on that sheet is the price you pay unless we find something structural and you approve a change order in writing.
4. 4
   We repair it right. OEM PGT parts when they’re available. When we use aftermarket, we match profiles and finishes. Flashing gets integrated properly, not slathered in tar.
5. 5
   We test and document. After the repair, we run water over the area and confirm it drains. If we can’t verify the fix, we’re not done.
6. 6
   You get the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s 100 years of accountability, and Ed Winslow’s name is on every job.
