AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Tequesta, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent PGT service provider working throughout Tequesta, and we handle everything from stuck WinGuard sliders to full impact-rated replacements. What sets our PGT work apart here is simple: we know how this village’s canal-front salt air chews through aluminum frames faster than anywhere else in northern Palm Beach County. If you own PGT windows or doors in Tequesta and they’re binding, pitting, or failing an insurance inspection, call (772) 794-8169 for a straight answer and a free estimate, or learn more about our Window Installation in Tequesta.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008, but our relationship with PGT product goes back further than that. Dale learned impact glazing at Palm Beach State College and spent his early years working PGT installs up and down the Treasure Coast. Our technicians are certified on PGT’s WinGuard and Eze-Breeze product lines. We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we are is a PGT sales & service team that knows these units from the sill track up. For Tequesta homeowners, that matters. This is not a market where you want someone learning on your house.
Why Tequesta Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Tequesta is our service area. We’re here most weeks, working canal streets and the older CBS-block neighborhoods that were built out from the 1960s through the 1980s. Those original single-pane aluminum windows have largely been swapped for impact-rated PGT units by now, but a lot of them were installed fifteen or twenty years ago and are starting to show their age in this specific climate. We see the same failure patterns house after house.
We use only authentic PGT components, sourced directly from PGT or authorized distributors. That means exact fit and a repair that doesn’t void whatever warranty remains. When a repair doesn’t make financial sense, we’ll tell you that too and quote a replacement to current Florida code. Dale’s rule from day one has been simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to a $200 roller replacement and a $20,000 full-frame impact package equally.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Tequesta
- WinGuard aluminum frame pitting and paint delamination. The salt-laden air that moves up the Loxahatchee River and its canal network settles directly on aluminum frames in Tequesta. We regularly see WinGuard frames with paint lifting and white oxide pitting within eight to ten years of installation, far sooner than inland homes.
- Eze-Breeze vertical vinyl glazing panels yellowing or cracking. Eze-Breeze enclosures face brutal sun exposure here, plus salt film that bakes on. The vinyl panels get brittle, yellow, and eventually crack at the corners. Replacement panels are available, but the track system usually needs attention at the same time.
- WinGuard roller and latch components seizing on canal-front sliders. The tidal salt air doesn’t just sit on the frame exterior. It works its way into the track channel and corrodes rollers until the door won’t glide. A fused-shut slider on a canal-facing wall is the single most common PGT service call we run in Tequesta.
- PremierVue casement hardware loosening from wind-driven salt air. The constant breeze off the Intracoastal works casement hinges and operator arms loose over time. The salt accelerates it. We replace the hardware and re-torque the mounting points so the sash seats tight against the weatherstripping.
- Older non-impact PGT single-hungs failing insurance wind mitigation. Tequesta falls in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. If your PGT windows date from the 1990s and lack impact glazing, they won’t pass a wind mitigation inspection, and your carrier may demand replacement before renewal. We handle these full-frame retrofits routinely.
PGT Service in Tequesta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic PGT page. Tequesta’s Loxahatchee River canal network creates a micro-corrosion zone that accelerates PGT aluminum frame degradation in a way that simply doesn’t happen in nearby Jupiter Farms or even western Palm Beach Gardens. The tidal exchange at the inlet pulls salt-laden air into residential neighborhoods year-round, and canal-front homes get the worst of it because the salt spray wicks into the CBS block at the sill line. We’ve pulled 1970s-era aluminum slider frames here that had debonded from the substrate entirely, fused to the track by corrosion. For PGT owners specifically, this means WinGuard sliders on canal lots can show visible frame pitting within a decade of installation. On a home off Riverside Drive in Tequesta, our crew removed a fused-shut PGT WinGuard aluminum slider that had corroded at the sill track after two decades of salt spray. We replaced it with a new PGT WinGuard impact slider, using stainless steel fasteners and a marine-grade sealant to handle the tidal air, and the homeowner’s insurance re-inspected without issue. That’s the standard for any PGT work we do within a quarter mile of the river.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Tequesta
We work on all four major PGT product lines you’ll find in Tequesta homes: WinGuard Aluminum Impact, WinGuard Vinyl Impact, Eze-Breeze, and PremierVue. For WinGuard aluminum and vinyl units, we handle roller and track replacement, latch and locking hardware, weatherstripping, glass replacement where it’s cost-effective, and full replacement to current code when it isn’t. Eze-Breeze enclosures get panel swaps, track cleaning and repair, and complete reglazing when the vinyl has yellowed beyond saving.
On parts, we’re strict about sourcing. Authentic PGT components come from PGT or an authorized distributor. We don’t substitute generic rollers or aftermarket weatherstripping on a PGT door, because the fit is never quite right and the savings don’t hold up in this salt air, which is why our Door Installation in Tequesta uses only authentic PGT components. For faster Tequesta turnaround, we keep common WinGuard roller assemblies, latch sets, and Eze-Breeze panel stock on our trucks when we’re working the area.
PGT Service Pricing in Tequesta
Most PGT service calls in Tequesta run between $180 and $340 for a standard roller replacement or latch repair on a WinGuard slider. That covers the trip, the labor, and authentic PGT parts. Eze-Breeze panel replacement usually falls in the $200 to $400 range per panel depending on size. A full-frame WinGuard impact window replacement on a typical Tequesta CBS home runs $1,200 to $2,600 per opening, and a canal-front slider replacement can reach $7,000 to $15,000 depending on the assembly width and whether the rough opening needs structural attention after years of salt corrosion at the sill. Every estimate is written, line-itemed, and free. If the scope grows once we open the wall, you’ll see it on paper before we do the work, not after. Call (772) 794-8169 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll walk the job with you.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Tequesta
Yes, especially on canal-front and river-front lots. We recommend scheduled track cleaning and lubrication at least twice a year, stainless steel hardware on any replacement assembly, and marine-grade sealant at the sill and jamb. For homes within a quarter mile of the Loxahatchee River or its canals, an annual inspection catches early pitting before it compromises the frame. Call (772) 794-8169 if you’re due for a look.
Generally no. Tequesta sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or protected glazing for any replacement window or door. A 1990s non-impact PGT frame won’t accept modern laminated impact glass, and even if it could, the opening still wouldn’t pass a wind mitigation inspection. We’ll give you an honest read on whether glass-only makes sense or whether full replacement is the code-compliant path, and the estimate is free either way.
The track system holds up reasonably well if it’s kept clean, but the vinyl glazing panels take a beating. Direct sun plus salt film leads to yellowing within five to seven years and cracking soon after on exposed elevations. We replace individual panels as they fail and can quote a full reglaze if the whole enclosure has turned brittle.
Yes, provided the unit carries a valid Florida Product Approval number and the installation includes the proper anchoring and permit paperwork. PGT WinGuard is one of the most widely accepted impact lines with Florida carriers. We pull permits on every full replacement and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Because looks don’t count in a wind-borne debris region. A 1990s PGT aluminum single-hung can have clean glass and a smooth track, but if it lacks impact-rated laminated glazing, it doesn’t meet the code that applies to any replacement, and insurers read the label, not the curb appeal. Most Tequesta homeowners find out at renewal time when the carrier demands impact-rated glazing as a condition of continued coverage. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you exactly which openings need to change and what it’ll cost.
