PGT Windows & Doors in Greenacres, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Greenacres, from WinGuard impact retrofits to 5500 Series slider repairs. What makes our PGT work different here is simple: we’ve done hundreds of jalousie-to-impact conversions in this city’s 1960s-80s concrete block homes, and we know which models actually fit those out-of-square rough openings. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, led by Dale Kessler. We’ve been installing and servicing PGT products throughout Palm Beach County for years, and we’re one of the few crews that treats Greenacres specifically as its own job site, not a spot on a route between Delray and Wellington. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
Why Greenacres Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Most PGT owners in Greenacres aren’t shopping for a new brand. They bought PGT because it’s a Florida company, engineered for South Florida wind loads, and they want to keep those windows and doors working. That’s where we come in. Dale Kessler picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program and has been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors for the better part of two decades. The work he’s best known for is storm-rated installation done tight enough that a follow-up inspection is never a surprise.
We’re an independent PGT service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. That means we answer to you, not to a factory rep’s quota. Our PGT sales & service team keeps genuine PGT parts on hand for the series most common in Greenacres, and our techs know the difference between a worn roller assembly and a frame issue that needs full replacement. When a PGT unit is 15-plus years old with multiple failed seals or pitting that compromises the impact rating, we’ll tell you straight and show you the repair-versus-replace numbers on paper.
We’re a Greenacres service area company that shows up in uniform, measures twice, and registers both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No surprise line items.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Greenacres
- Faded, chalky vinyl frames on older PGT PremierVue units. Greenacres sits roughly 15 miles inland, but Atlantic sea breezes still push salt-laden air across the city. After 8-12 years of that exposure plus intense UV, PremierVue frames chalk up and glazing seals fail, leaving a white haze between the panes. We replace the sashes or the full unit, depending on how far the degradation has gone.
- Corroded aluminum sill tracks on PGT 5500 sliding glass doors. Irrigation overspray on the patio side is a recurring issue in Greenacres. Water pools on the sill, bakes in the sun, and the track corrodes. Roller assemblies break down, and the door starts dragging. We swap in genuine PGT roller assemblies and re-set the track, or replace the sill if it’s too far gone.
- Binding or out-of-square operation in PGT single-hung and slider inserts. Original 1960s jalousie rough openings in Greenacres have shifted for decades due to soil settlement. When a PGT insert goes into a frame that’s no longer square, the sash binds, the lock misalignes, and the weatherstripping tears. Our crews document the opening and use custom shim packs to bring it back to true before setting the unit.
- Brittle, sun-baked PGT Eze-Breeze vinyl glazing channels. The Florida room enclosures that use Eze-Breeze take constant sun and humidity in Greenacres. The vinyl channels crack after several summers, and water finds its way in during the intense afternoon downpours. We replace the channels with the correct profile depth, not a generic extrusion.
- Failed glazing seals from humidity and thermal cycling. Year-round humidity plus hot-afternoon-to-cool-night cycling is hard on insulated glass. When seals go, you get condensation between the panes that won’t wipe off. For PGT units under warranty, we handle the claim paperwork and glass replacement. For older units, we show you the numbers and let you decide.
PGT Service in Greenacres: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Greenacres that doesn’t show up in a PGT brochure. This is the largest city in Pgt repair in Palm Beach County where nearly every pre-1990 single-family home still carries original jalousie louvered windows, and insurers are flagging those openings on wind-mitigation inspections at rates unmatched anywhere else along the Gold Coast. Citizens Insurance and private carriers routinely make jalousie replacement a condition of continued coverage or a prerequisite for a wind-mitigation discount.
What that means for PGT owners specifically is this: the replacement work we do in Greenacres almost always involves a concrete block rough opening that was never meant for today’s impact-rated frame depths. Original CBS homes built between 1960 and 1990 have block openings that shift, and the old jalousie frames are thin and shallow. A modern PGT WinGuard frame is deeper and heavier. Drop-in replacement rarely works. Our crews measure the opening, build out the buck with pressure-treated lumber or custom shim packs, and back-dam flash the perimeter so water never sits against the block. That’s not a frill. That’s the difference between a window that passes a wind-mitigation inspection and one that comes back flagged.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Greenacres
We service the four PGT series most common in this city’s housing stock. PGT WinGuard remains the workhorse for impact-rated, wind-borne-debris-compliant openings. PremierVue is the older vinyl line we still see on 1990s-era replacements. The 5500 Series covers aluminum windows and sliding glass doors, and Eze-Breeze handles the sunroom and Florida room enclosures that pop up on nearly every block.
Our parts posture is simple: genuine PGT parts whenever they remain available. Sash balances, roller assemblies, weatherstripping, multipoint lock hardware. No aftermarket equivalent matches the exact profile depths and thermal breaks of the OEM parts, so we don’t install them. We keep the fast-moving items stocked for Greenacres so a repair doesn’t wait on a freight truck from the factory.
PGT Service Pricing in Greenacres
Service calls in Greenacres run $85 to $150 for diagnosis, and that amount is credited toward the repair if you approve it the same visit. Minor hardware fixes (balancers, rollers, weatherstripping) typically land between $150 and $400 per opening, depending on the series and the age of the unit. Glass and seal replacements on insulated PGT sashes run $250 to $650 per sash. Full-frame impact replacements run $1,100 to $2,900 per opening, and the concrete-block opening work Greenacres homes require is part of that price, not an added line item.
All pricing is given up front as a written, line-item quote before any work starts. There are no change orders and no end-of-day additions. The permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans applies to every Greenacres job we do. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the numbers in writing.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Greenacres
Jalousie windows are the single biggest liability in Greenacres because they provide virtually no wind resistance, no insulation, and no security. Insurers now flag them on wind-mitigation reports as a condition of coverage. The replacement challenge is that the original jalousie openings in CBS block are thin and shallow, so a PGT impact frame requires a full rough-opening rebuild with proper shimming and flashing, not a simple drop-in swap.
PGT WinGuard and the 5500 Series both carry the wind-borne debris ratings required for Palm Beach County’s wind-speed zones, which Greenacres falls under outside the HVHZ line used in Miami-Dade and Broward. PremierVue and Eze-Breeze are not impact-rated and do not meet code for replacement openings in permitted work. We only pull permits and install series that pass Greenacres inspections the first time.
Both have tradeoffs here. Aluminum 5500 frames resist UV better but corrode when irrigation water hits them and bakes in the sun. Vinyl PremierVue and WinGuard frames don’t corrode, but the salt-laden Atlantic air and intense UV chalk them out faster than in central Florida. For most Greenacres homes, we recommend the finish and material based on exposure - a patio slider facing the irrigation line is a different conversation than a front bedroom window with full afternoon sun.
In most cases, no. The original aluminum sliders in 1960s-80s Greenacres CBS homes were never engineered for impact-rated loads, and the frames are too shallow to accept PGT impact glazing. We’ll inspect the frame, check for corrosion at the sill, and tell you honestly. Reusing a frame that won’t carry the rating voids the wind-mitigation value and leaves you with a window that still won’t save you on insurance.
Plan on one to two extra days per opening compared to wood-frame construction. Concrete block openings require cutting, shimming, and flashing that frame-built homes don’t. It’s not a shortcut to skip. A typical three-opening jalousie-to-PGT-WinGuard conversion in Greenacres runs four to six working days from start to final inspection.
