How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds tough products, but Coral Gables weather brings specific failure patterns we see again and again. Here’s what actually happens when PGT roof installations go wrong:

• PGT Vinyl Skylight Flashing Separation: The PGT SkyView roof window line uses a vinyl curb-mount frame that expands and contracts hard in Coral Gables heat. After 7-10 years, the factory flashing separates from the curb at the corners. Water doesn’t pour in, it seeps, and by the time you see the stain on the ceiling the decking underneath is already soft. We remove the old flashing, inspect the curb for rot, and re-flash with step flashing that moves independently from the vinyl frame, so the next thermal cycle doesn’t tear it loose again.
• Weep Hole Blockage on Roof-Mounted PGT Units: PGT’s impact-rated roof windows drain through weep channels in the frame track. In Coral Gables, wind-driven rain carries oak pollen and roofing grit directly into those channels. Once blocked, water pools and finds its way under the glass seal. We clear the weeps, flush the track, and install micro-screening that keeps debris out while letting water drain. It’s a $95 fix that prevents a $1,400 glass replacement.
• Improper Curb Construction from the Original Install: We regularly find PGT roof units installed on curbs built from non-pressure-treated lumber or with the wrong pitch. The curb rots, the unit settles, and the operator misaligns. In Coral Gables, where the original 1920s-era Spanish and Mediterranean homes have been retrofitted repeatedly, we see this constantly. We rebuild the curb to PGT’s minimum spec and reset the unit square. No amount of caulk fixes a bad curb.
• Damaged Mounting Clips on PGT Panorama Panels: PGT’s fixed roof glass panels use concealed stainless clips. When a prior repair used steel clips to save a few dollars, rust stains bleed onto the frame and the panel bond loosens. We replace with the correct 316 stainless hardware and re-seal the internal gasket track. The panel itself is usually fine; the hardware wasn’t.
• Failed Internal Gaskets After Hurricane-Deferred Maintenance: PGT roof units with operator cranks or motorized vents have internal compression gaskets that dry out in salt air. After a storm pushes wind-driven rain against the unit for hours, the gaskets separate at the seams. We strip the old gaskets, clean the channel, and regasket with OEM-spec material. It restores the unit to factory seal performance without replacing glass that still has decades left.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Every PGT job in Coral Gables follows the same sequence, whether it’s a leaky skylight or a full roof-panel re-seal:

1. 1
   Call comes in, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree. You describe the leak, the age of the unit, and what you’ve already tried. We’ll tell you honestly whether it sounds like a repair or a replacement before we ever roll a truck.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof, not just the hole. Our tech checks the unit, yes, but also the surrounding flashing, the curb structure, the shingle or tile interface, and the attic underside. A PGT unit rarely fails in isolation.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs. aftermarket, explained flat-out. For structural components, clips, and gaskets, we use OEM-spec materials because saving $40 on a clip isn’t worth a re-leak. For trim and cosmetic pieces, a quality aftermarket sometimes performs identically, and we’ll tell you when that’s true and when it isn’t.
4. 4
   The repair happens with the roof protected. We tarp the surrounding area, use foam-backed gaskets where water channels exist, and clean every surface before sealing. Shortcuts in prep are what cause repeat leaks.
5. 5
   We water-test before we climb down. A hose run at the seam, at the flashing line, and at the curb. If it doesn’t hold during testing, it won’t hold during a Coral Gables afternoon storm.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise applies. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard, and Ed put it in writing because he’s the one accountable.
