AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $9,800 to $24,000 depending on roof size, decking condition, and whether you choose shingle, tile, or metal, with most full replacements finished in 2 to 5 days once materials clear. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we tell you exactly what your roof needs without a brand agenda pushing the quote one direction. This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who already trust PGT’s impact-rated product line and want a local crew that actually understands how those systems perform in our salt air, humidity, and hurricane cycles. Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a strong product, but South Florida has a way of finding every weak seam. Here’s what we see on PGT roofs across Fort Lauderdale and how we address each one.
- PGT WinGuard roof deck delamination at flashing points. The WinGuard line is common on Fort Lauderdale homes, and we regularly find the roof deck separating where the flashing meets the underlayment along ridge vents. Humidity creeps under the seal, the adhesive lets go, and water finds the gap during summer downpours. We strip the affected section, re-secure the decking, and install new peel-and-stick flashing before the underlayment goes back down.
- Tile lifts and blow-offs on PGT TileGuard systems in Las Olas and Victoria Park. PGT’s TileGuard roofs hold up well, but the clip system wears faster within a mile of the ocean. Salt corrodes the metal clips, one tile loosens in a nor’easter, and suddenly you’ve got neighbors finding tile fragments in their yard. We replace the clips with marine-grade stainless and re-set every tile in the affected field.
- Rust at PGT metal roof panel overlaps after years of coastal exposure. PGT’s standing-seam metal panels are engineered for impact, but the factory finish thins at the overlap joints where panels rub during thermal expansion. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, that exposed steel starts showing rust lines within 8 to 10 years. We sand, prime, and coat the seam, then re-crimp the overlap if the panel gauge allows it.
- Underlayment deterioration beneath PGT shingle systems on older roofs. Even when the PGT shingles look fine from the ground, the synthetic underlayment PGT specified in the early 2010s breaks down faster than the shingle layer in high-UV exposure. By the time a homeowner notices a ceiling stain, the underlayment is often compromised across half the roof. We remove the shingles, replace the underlayment with a Miami-Dade approved high-temp synthetic, and re-install the PGT shingles if they still have service life.
- Flashing failure at PGT skylight and vent collars on flat sections. Homes with any low-slope section, common in Fort Lauderdale’s mid-century builds near Lauderdale Harbors, get standing water around the PGT flashing collars. The rubber gasket hardens in the heat, cracks, and lets water ride the vent pipe into the attic. We replace the collar, re-flash with PGT-compatible material, and verify drainage on the section before we call the job done.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
You call (904) 747-8989. A live person picks up, asks what you’re seeing, and schedules a walk-through. No call centers, no ticket numbers.
- 2
We inspect the whole roof, not just the problem area. Ed Winslow or one of our senior techs gets on the roof, checks the decking, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, and documents everything with photos you can see.
- 3
We make the parts decision with you. Where PGT OEM parts are available at a fair price and your warranty is active, we use them. Where aftermarket parts perform as well for less, we tell you the trade-off in plain terms and let you choose.
- 4
The replacement happens in sequence. Tear-off first, then decking repair, then underlayment and flashing, then the PGT product goes down. Our uniformed, background-checked crew handles every stage, and the site stays clean at the end of each day.
- 5
We test and inspect before we leave. Water test on flashing points, fastener check on every panel, and a walk-through with you to show what we did.

The 36500-Day Done Right Promise kicks in. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That’s just how we work.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here’s what we quote on most PGT roof jobs in Fort Lauderdale. These are real ranges we’ve written on invoices this year, not national averages pulled from a database.
- PGT shingle replacement, full tear-off, 1,800-2,200 sq ft home: $9,800 to $13,500
- PGT tile replacement, full re-set, 2,000-2,500 sq ft home: $16,000 to $22,000

- Partial repair (flashing, deck patch, tile re-set): $450 to $2,800
What moves the price: decking condition (older Fort Lauderdale homes need more plywood replaced), roof pitch and height, how many penetrations exist, and whether the existing PGT product can be reused or needs full replacement. Every estimate is free, it’s a written line-item quote, and the price doesn’t change once work starts. Call (904) 747-8989 to get your number.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for PGT Work
Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and learned early that South Florida weather doesn’t give you a second chance on a bad installation. He trained in building construction technology at Miami Dade College before working his way through every phase of exterior work, so when we say we know PGT, it’s because we’ve torn apart enough PGT roofs to know what holds up and what doesn’t. We’ve been doing this in Fort Lauderdale since 2011, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print, no expiration. And if PGT ever isn’t the answer for your roof, we install CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems too, so our recommendation is based on your house, not our inventory. My name’s on the truck. That’s the only guarantee you need.
FAQs
PGT’s warranty typically covers the product, not the labor and not the underlayment or decking beneath it. If your PGT shingles or tiles failed due to a manufacturing defect within the coverage period, the materials may be replaced under warranty, but you’ll still pay for tear-off, decking, underlayment, and installation. We can review your specific PGT warranty documentation during the free estimate and tell you exactly what applies. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule an inspection.
Most PGT roof replacements take 2 to 5 working days once materials are on-site. Shingle jobs move fastest; tile and metal take longer because each piece gets set, checked, and fastened individually. Fort Lauderdale permitting adds a few days depending on city review load, and we pull the permits for you as part of the job.
Yes, we can match PGT shingle colors and tile profiles on partial replacements, though older roofs may have fading that makes an exact color match difficult. On metal roofs, we match the panel profile and gauge exactly, and we’ll show you the color comparison before we order. If the PGT line on your roof is discontinued, we’ll recommend the closest current equivalent and give you the trade-off straight.
If the decking is solid, the underlayment is still functional, and the PGT product has service life left, a targeted repair usually makes more sense than a full replacement. In Fort Lauderdale, we repair sections around the failure and leave the rest alone when the roof can hold. We’ll tell you honestly which route is cheaper over the next five years, not just which one invoices higher today. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate, and you’ll get the straight answer.
No. We write a line-item quote before any work begins, and that’s the price. If we open the roof and find hidden damage we couldn’t see from the inspection, we stop, show you the photos, and get your approval before spending another dollar. There are no change orders wrapped into the invoice, and we don’t play the lowball-then-add game. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule your free estimate and see your real number on paper.
