AfterTherma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent Therma-Tru roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach Gardens, with most standard roof curb and skylight-adjacent Therma-Tru units replaced in one to two days once materials are on hand. We quote the job in writing before any work begins, and the price we quote is the price you pay. If you own a Therma-Tru roof hatch, roof window, or skylight-mounted door system in Palm Beach Gardens and you are seeing leaks, binding, or fogged glass, call (772) 794-8169 and a live person will answer, day or night.
This page is written for Palm Beach Gardens homeowners who bought a Therma-Tru product years ago, live with it every day, and want a straight answer about what it costs to make it right. Not a sales pitch. Just the facts from a shop that has been setting glass and hanging doors in this town for over four decades.
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Therma-Tru builds a solid door. We have installed and serviced enough of them in Palm Beach Gardens to know where they show their age, especially the roof-mounted and weather-exposed units. Here is what we see most often:
- Therma-Tru roof hatch curb flashing separation. On older single-leaf steel roof hatches, the factory curb flashing is crimped, not welded. After ten or twelve seasons of South Florida sun and afternoon downpours, that crimped seam works loose and water walks right in. We remove the old flashing, weld or mechanically fasten a new curb, and re-set the hatch with a full perimeter seal. This is the most common roof replacement we do on Therma-Tru in Palm Beach Gardens.
- Fiberglass door panel delamination on roof-adjacent units. Therma-Tru Classic-Craft and Smooth-Star panels hold up well on front entries, but when a door is mounted within reach of rooftop runoff or direct salt air near the Intracoastal, the skin can start to separate from the core. You will see a bubble or a soft spot, usually near the bottom rail. Replacement is the honest fix. We measure the slab, match the profile, and set the new panel in the existing frame when the frame is still true.
- Warped threshold on Therma-Tru roof access doors. A roof access door takes direct sun from noon until dark in Palm Beach Gardens. The aluminum threshold on some older Therma-Tru units expands and contracts enough that the sweep no longer seats. Water gets under the door during storm season. We replace the threshold with a milled unit, re-shim, and re-hang the door so the sweep kisses the sill evenly across the full width.
- Failed glazing seal on Therma-Tru glass-insert roof doors. Therma-Tru’s decorative glass inserts on roof-facing elevations bake in the Florida sun. When the seal between the glass panes fails, you get fog you cannot wipe off. The fix is a new glazing unit, and we always check whether the frame has moved before we order the glass. No sense putting new glass in a frame that has shifted an eighth inch.
- Stripped hinge plates on heavy-gauge steel roof doors. Therma-Tru steel units are heavy, and the hinge screws are factory-set into the door skin. After years of daily use against wind load, those screw holes strip. The door sags, scrapes, and will not latch. We re-tap, install threaded inserts, and re-hang. When the hinge plates themselves are deformed, we replace them with new ones matched to the original screw pattern.
Our Therma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Therma-Tru roof job in Palm Beach Gardens follows the same path. No shortcuts, no rushed measurements, no parts ordered blind:
- 1
Call and site visit. You call (772) 794-8169. A live person answers. We schedule a time, show up on time, and walk the roof opening with you.
- 2
Measure twice, on paper. The technician measures the opening, the slab, the reveal, and the curb height. Every number goes on the written quote.
- 3
Parts decision. For Therma-Tru units still under manufacturer warranty, we use OEM parts and document everything for your records. For out-of-warranty units, we present OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side, with prices, and you choose.
- 4
The replacement. We remove the old unit, repair or replace the curb flashing, set the new door or panel, and seal every joint. We do not caulk over rot or hide rust.
- 5
Test and verify. Water test, latch test, level check. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 6
Warranty registration before we leave. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is non-negotiable.
What Therma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Straight numbers, the way we quote them:
- Roof hatch curb re-flash and re-set: $550-$950
- Single-leaf steel roof hatch replacement (Therma-Tru equivalent): $1,200-$2,400, depending on size and load rating
- Fiberglass roof access door panel replacement: $900-$1,800, slab-only when the frame is sound

- Glazing seal replacement on glass-insert roof doors: $325-$775 per lite, depending on glass type and insert style
- Full unit replacement with curb rebuild: $2,800-$5,500, depending on size, wind load rating, and finish
What moves the price in Palm Beach Gardens: the age of the roof curb, whether the current unit meets Miami-Dade wind load requirements, and whether we are matching an existing finish or starting fresh. The quote is the quote. If it is not in the written scope, it is not in the price - and if it is in the price, we stand behind it. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Therma-Tru Work
Dale Kessler grew up off Northlake Boulevard, close enough to the old groves that he still thinks of Palm Beach Gardens as a working town first and a resort town second. He learned the trade through Palm Beach State College’s building construction program, then spent his early years on impact glazing installations up and down the Treasure Coast. For more than two decades he has focused exclusively on windows and doors in South Florida, particularly the fit-and-seal work that separates a hurricane-rated unit from one that just looks the part on paper.

FAQs
No. We are an independent Therma-Tru service provider. That means we work on Therma-Tru products without being tied to the manufacturer’s service network, and we choose parts based on what is best for your specific roof opening in Palm Beach Gardens, not what a corporate program tells us to use. We state that plainly because it matters.
In most cases, yes, as long as the unit is still within its warranty period and the work follows the manufacturer’s installation guidelines, which we document. We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will walk through your specific situation.
Most standard roof hatch and roof access door replacements take one to two days once materials are on site. Curb rebuilds add a day. We will give you a written schedule before work starts, and we show up when we say we will.
If the frame is square, the curb is sound, and the panel is structurally intact, repair usually makes sense. If the curb flashing has failed, the panel is delaminating, or the unit no longer meets current wind load codes for Palm Beach Gardens, replacement is the honest answer. We will show you both prices and let you decide.
We do. We service and install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products regularly across Palm Beach Gardens. When you call us about a Therma-Tru roof unit, we can also tell you honestly how it compares to those brands if replacement is on the table.
