AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
PGT roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach is not the same as a generic reroof. PGT is known for impact-rated windows and doors, but plenty of Palm Beach homes also carry PGT’s roofing-adjacent products, skylights, and structural glazing that tie directly into the roof deck. As an independent PGT service provider, Winslow Windows & Doors handles full roof replacement and installation where PGT components meet the roofline, usually completing a standard tear-off and replacement in three to five days once materials are on site. Honest pricing starts with a free on-site assessment, and you’ll get a written line-item quote before any work begins. If you own a home in Palm Beach with PGT skylights, roof glass, or impact-rated openings and the roof needs to come off, this page is for you. Call (561) 831-7863 and a live person answers, day or night.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We regularly see roofing failures in Palm Beach homes where PGT components are installed. The salt air, summer downpours, and hurricane cycles do not treat every product line the same way. Here are the failures we see most, and what we do about them.
- PGT WinGuard roof-glazing seal failure. In coastal Palm Beach neighborhoods like El Cid and Southland Park, we find WinGuard roof glazing where the factory seal between glass and frame has broken down after years of UV and salt exposure. Water creeps under the flashing and into the roof deck, and the homeowner sees a stain on the ceiling. The fix is not caulk. We pull the unit, inspect the curb, replace rotted decking, and re-flash before reinstalling with new sealant rated for coastal exposure.
- PGT SkyView skylight flashing corrosion. SkyView units installed within a half mile of the Intracoastal often show galvanic corrosion where the aluminum flashing meets the roof fasteners. This is a Palm Beach salt-air reality, not a factory defect. We replace the flashing with stainless hardware and add a separation membrane to stop the reaction. If the decking under the curb has softened, we cut it out and rebuild it before the new roof goes down.
- Improper roof-to-frame transition on PGT custom geometric windows. We frequently find homes where a previous roofing crew lapped shingles over the nailing flange of a PGT geometric window instead of using step flashing and counter-flashing. Water rides the shingle edge, behind the flange, and down the wall. Our crews re-flash every PGT opening to manufacturer spec before the new roof is tied in.
- PGT side-hinged roof access doors with degraded gaskets. Roof access doors from PGT often use EPDM gaskets that dry out and crack under relentless Palm Beach sun. When the gasket goes, wind-driven rain gets through. We replace gaskets with OEM parts when available and re-align the panel so the weather seal sits tight. Then we verify with a water test.
- Impact-rated PGT roof vents with failed one-way baffles. PGT roof vents on tile roofs in neighborhoods like Prospect Park sometimes seize closed or get jammed with wind-blown debris. A seized vent means the attic bakes, and the roof assembly ages faster. We replace the baffle assembly and re-seat the vent before the underlayment and tile go back.
None of these are rare in Palm Beach. We see them weekly.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
You will not be left guessing where the job stands. Here is how we handle a PGT roof replacement in Palm Beach from the first call to the final walk-through.
- 1
Call and site visit. You call (561) 831-7863. A live person answers. We schedule a free on-site assessment and show up when we say we will.
- 2
Diagnostics and roof opening inspection. We inspect the roof deck around every PGT opening, checking curbs, flashing, and decking for rot and water intrusion that is not visible from inside the house.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM vs. quality aftermarket. For PGT-specific seals, gaskets, and hardware, we use OEM parts where they are available. For flashing, underlayment, and fasteners, we select materials matched to Palm Beach climate, not whatever is cheapest at the supply house.
- 4
Tear-off, deck repair, and re-flashing. We remove the old roof, replace any compromised decking, and re-flash every PGT opening to spec before a single shingle or tile goes down.
- 5
New roof installation and PGT component reinstallation. Roof and PGT components are integrated, not patched around. The goal is a dry, clean, straight line at every transition.
- 6
Water test, cleanup, and walk-through. We test the transitions, haul everything away, and walk the roof with you before we call the job done. My name is on the truck. That is reason enough to do it right.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Pricing in Palm Beach is more predictable than most contractors make it sound. What changes the number is the roof size, the number of PGT openings that need re-flashing, and the condition of the decking underneath.
- Full tear-off and asphalt shingle reroof with standard PGT re-flashing: $9,500 to $16,000 for a typical 2,000-square-foot Palm Beach home.
- Add tile or metal roofing: $18,000 to $38,000 depending on material and profile.
- PGT skylight or roof-glazing removal, deck rebuild, and reinstallation: $1,200 to $3,400 per unit on top of the roof work.
- Re-flashing a PGT custom geometric window during reroof: $350 to $750 per opening.
- Decking replacement where water has rotted the substrate: $85 to $120 per sheet, installed.
We give written line-item quotes and we do not change the price after work starts unless you ask us to expand the scope. Call (561) 831-7863 and we will put a real number on your roof.

FAQs
In most cases, as long as the re-flashing and reinstallation are done to PGT’s published installation specifications, the original manufacturer warranty on the PGT product remains intact. We follow those specs exactly and document the work. Call (561) 831-7863 and we will check your particular product line before the tear-off begins.
OEM PGT seals, gaskets, and hardware are generally available through regional distributors, though lead times can run a week or two during peak storm season. We keep common PGT-compatible flashing and sealing materials on the trucks, and we order OEM components the day you approve the quote. For an exact parts outlook on your roof, call (561) 831-7863.
Almost always, yes. The labor cost to remove and reinstall a PGT skylight is near zero when the roof is already torn off, and replacing the curb, flashing, and gaskets at that moment adds years to the assembly. The cost is a fraction of what it would be to do it later as a standalone job. Ask for the skylight quote alongside your roof estimate when you call (561) 831-7863.
A standard tear-off and replacement on a Palm Beach home runs three to five days once materials are delivered. The wild card is hidden decking rot, which we can only confirm once the old roof is off, and we quote decking replacement transparently if we find it. The weather can stretch a timeline, and we will not rush a roof under a storm watch.
Only if we uncover something nobody could see before tear-off, like rotted decking, and we show it to you before we touch it. The line-item quote we give you is the price, and we do not invent change orders. Ed Winslow has been doing this too long to play that game.
