How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a strong product, but Coral Gables has its own ideas about what roofing materials should endure. Salt air, afternoon downpours, and hurricane-season wind cycles expose weak points that don’t show up in a showroom. Here’s what we actually see on PGT jobs in Coral Gables:

• PGT metal roof panel seam separation after thermal cycling. Metal expands and contracts dramatically under Coral Gables’ sun-to-storm swings. On PGT standing-seam panels, older mechanical seam locks can open a few millimeters over time, letting water wick underneath. We re-crimp the seam and replace the butyl tape rather than slapping sealant over it, because sealant alone always fails within two seasons.
• Tile underlayment breakdown beneath PGT tile profiles, especially on lower slopes. Tiles themselves rarely wear out. What fails is the self-adhering underlayment underneath. We see it most on Coral Gables homes with wide overhangs and slow drainage. We lift the affected tiles, cut out the degraded underlayment, and reinstall with a fresh peel-and-stick layer before resetting the tile. Skipping the underlayment step is a cheap repair we refuse to do because it fails and you pay twice.
• Fastener backout on PGT shingle systems near roof edges. Edge rows catch the most wind uplift. On some PGT shingle installations we replace nails that have pulled up roughly a quarter inch, which is enough to let wind-driven rain slide beneath the shingle. Our fix is removing and replacing with ring-shank fasteners, not hammering the old nail back down where it will back out again.
• Flashing failures where PGT metal roof panels meet chimney and skylight penetrations. This is the number one call we get after a Coral Gables thunderstorm. The panel-to-flashing transition is exactly where aftermarket or improvised flashing loses its seal. We fabricate and install proper two-piece step flashing under the PGT panel and over the penetration, with a corrosion-resistant sealant appropriate for the metal profile.
• Condensation staining on PGT tile roof decking in older Coral Gables homes without ridge ventilation. Tile holds moisture longer than shingle after a rain. Without proper ventilation, humid air condenses on the underside of the decking and stains ceilings. We check ridge and soffit ventilation first, because repairing the decking without fixing airflow just moves the stain to a different room.

Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Every PGT roofing job follows the same path, and none of it involves surprises on the invoice:

1. 1
   You call. A live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loop, no call center. You describe what you’re seeing, we schedule a visit.
2. 2
   We inspect. Our technician walks the roof or the specific problem area, documents what’s failing with photos, and explains what’s happening in plain language.
3. 3
   You get a written quote. Every job gets a line-item estimate. PGT repairs, replacement materials, fasteners, labor… it’s all listed. No lump-sum mystery.
4. 4
   We fix it with the right parts. Where PGT OEM materials are needed and available, we use them. Where a quality aftermarket component is equal or better for the specific application, we tell you before we install it and explain why. Nothing gets substituted silently.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. If it’s a leak, we water-test. If it’s a material replacement, we check alignment and drainage. We walk the entire surrounding area to make sure the repair didn’t disturb anything else.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
