PGT Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Delray Beach and into PGT in Greenacres, from Old School Square cottages to the A1A condo towers. We’re not a manufacturer affiliate and we don’t pretend to be. What sets our PGT work apart here is knowing exactly what forty years of dual salt air does to a WinGuard frame, and knowing which repairs keep a unit’s Florida Product Approval intact.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of getting called to fix installations other crews had walked away from. The rule on the whiteboard since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to every PGT slider, awning, and impact window we touch in Delray Beach. Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’ve spent years tracking PGT’s product lines across Palm Beach County’s coastal buildings, from WinGuard vinyl to Series 600 aluminum sliders. Our crews work on Delray Beach’s 1970s and 80s condo towers every month, so we know how PGT frames, rollers, and EPDM weatherstripping behave when salt air comes at them from the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other.
Dale picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College and spent more time on the shop floor than in a classroom seat, which suited him fine. For the better part of two decades he has been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Florida, and the work he is best known for is storm-rated installation done tight enough that a follow-up inspection is never a surprise. That standard travels to every Delray Beach job, whether it’s a single WinGuard in Lake Ida or a full elevation on South Ocean Boulevard.
We run background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
Salt air and four decades of weather create specific failures. These are the ones we see most often on PGT units in Delray Beach:
- White corrosion bloom on aluminum frames and sill tracks. This shows up within 5-7 years on ocean-facing PGT aluminum, and it’s worse in Delray Beach than anywhere else in the county because the barrier island sits between two bodies of salt water. If caught early, we clean and treat the frame. If it has eaten through the anodizing, replacement is the honest answer.
- Swollen, oxidized PGT slider frames that bind. Older CBS homes in Lake Ida and Del Ida Park often have original rough openings that were never perfectly square. Add decades of humidity and salt exposure, and the PGT frame swells just enough to bind against the concrete. We re-square what we can, and we tell you straight when the frame has gone too far.
- Deteriorating EPDM compression seals and roller assemblies on sliding glass doors. When these seals go, you’ll hear a whistle during summer thunderstorms and see wind-driven rain seeping at the track. We replace seals and rollers with genuine PGT parts while the unit is under warranty, or exact-match aftermarket components when it isn’t.
- Galvanic corrosion at stainless steel anchor bolts. On pre-1990 high-rise elevations, the point where an aluminum PGT frame meets an original concrete lintel is a corrosion cell waiting to happen. We’ve pulled anchors on Delray Beach condo towers that looked fine from the outside but were paper-thin once the frame came off.
- Fogged glass packs on older PGT impact units. A broken seal in a coastal environment never gets better. We can sometimes replace the glass pack. When the frame is also failing, we walk you through the math on full replacement versus another repair.
PGT Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the fact that separates Delray Beach from every neighboring city in Palm Beach County. The original 1970s and 80s condo towers along A1A sit directly between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. No other coastal city in the county has that same high-rise concentration wedged between two salt sources. The result is a dual salt-air attack that oxidizes aluminum frames faster than buildings in Boca Raton, where we also offer PGT repair in Boca Raton, and where the Intracoastal sits farther west so the towers don’t get the same cross-breeze salt load.
For PGT owners, this means a fifteen-year-old aluminum slider in Delray Beach can look like a twenty-five-year-old unit elsewhere. Condo associations along A1A are under pressure from insurers and Palm Beach County code-compliance drives to bring entire buildings up to impact standards. What starts as one resident’s PGT slider replacement often becomes a building-wide retrofit, because no association wants mismatched window elevations when an inspector or a buyer comes through. We quote that scope in the same week we diagnose the first unit.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service the full PGT line you’re likely to find in Delray Beach. That means PGT WinGuard Vinyl and WinGuard Aluminum impact windows, Series 600 aluminum sliding glass doors, and 5540 awning windows, among others. If the unit still carries a factory warranty or the glass is intact, we use genuine PGT factory seals, rollers, and operators. For out-of-warranty units with discontinued PGT hardware, we source exact-match aftermarket components that preserve the original Florida Product Approval or NOA listing. We keep common PGT parts stocked for fast turnaround across Delray Beach service area calls, so you’re not waiting on a freight shipment to get a slider rolling again.
PGT Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Service pricing depends on what failed and how far it went. Here is what Delray Beach homeowners typically see:
- Roller or seal replacement on a PGT sliding door: $180-$340, parts included when standard sizes fit.
- Single PGT impact window glass pack replacement: $450-$850, depending on glass size and whether the frame is salvaged.
- Full PGT WinGuard impact window replacement: $900-$1,800 per opening, installed.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
A Florida Product Approval is sufficient for permitted work in Palm Beach County, including Delray Beach. A Miami-Dade NOA is not required by county code, but some condo associations write it into their specs anyway because their insurers ask for it. We check the governing documents before ordering, so the unit matches what the association has on file. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll sort out which approval path your building requires.
Delray Beach is the only coastal city in Palm Beach County where the original 1970s and 80s condo towers along A1A sit directly between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. That dual salt-air load is what accelerates the corrosion. The same PGT product on a building a few miles south in PGT service in Deerfield Beach gets roughly half the salt exposure. It’s geography, not a product defect.
Sometimes. If the frame is sound, the glass is intact, and the unit already carries a valid Florida Product Approval, we can replace rollers, seals, and operators and keep the door in service. If the frame is oxidized beyond roughly forty percent or the glass pack is delaminated, repair won’t satisfy an association pushing for compliance, and we’ll tell you so. The honest answer is what keeps you from paying twice. Call (813) 320-9346 for a straight assessment.
That depends on the profile and material you propose. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board reviews replacement window profiles and materials, and they require period-sympathetic designs even when the glass is modern impact-rated. PGT WinGuard Vinyl in a clean, single-hung profile can sometimes pass, but we’ve also seen the board insist on aluminum-clad options to match the original sightlines. We’ll prepare the submittal package and attend the hearing with you if it comes to that.
For a single unit, a slider swap is typically one day, and a full window replacement is one to three days depending on elevation access. When the association requires building-wide matching, the timeline extends because we coordinate with the board, confirm NOA matches for the entire elevation, and schedule around crane access. Most building-wide retrofits we quote in Delray Beach take two to six weeks from first window to last, depending on how many units are involved. Call (813) 320-9346 for a schedule that fits your association’s phasing.
