This page is for Little Gables homeowners who own PGT products and need straight answers about what’s failing, what it costs, and whether the fix will hold. We’ve been repairing PGT components across South Florida since 2011, and we’ve seen how Little Gables’ particular swamp-and-salt air combo ages roofs faster than most neighborhoods think it will.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT makes exceptional impact-rated products, but no manufacturer builds for Little Gables’ specific combination of salt-laden humidity, afternoon thunderstorm cycles, and hurricane-driven rain. Here’s what we actually find on PGT jobs in this neighborhood:

• PGT WinGuard roof flashing separation. The flashing around roof-mounted PGT WinGuard skylights and vent penetrations pulls away from the deck after years of thermal cycling. We replace the flashing with a marine-grade sealant bed and re-anchor it to the deck, which is a repair PGT’s own warranty covers only if it’s caught early. In Little Gables, we catch it late more often than not because homeowners don’t look up until water is already in the ceiling.
• PGT SkyView skylight seal failure. The internal seal on PGT SkyView units eventually degrades from UV exposure and salt air. You’ll see condensation between panes or a milky film that never wipes clean. The fix isn’t a patch: the glass pack gets replaced, the frame is inspected for corrosion, and the curb is resealed. We use OEM glass packs when PGT still stocks the size; if the line is discontinued, we source from quality aftermarket fabricators who cut to PGT specs.
• PGT impact-rated roof vent corrosion on the salt-facing side. Little Gables sits close enough to Biscayne Bay that the eastern exposure takes real salt load. PGT’s impact vents corrode faster on that side than on the lee side. We replace with either OEM parts or 316 stainless equivalents, depending on what PGT has in production and what actually holds up longer in this neighborhood’s air.
• Roof deck rot under PGT curb-mounted units. This is the one that bites people. The PGT unit itself is fine; the curb it sits on has rotted because the original installer in the early 2000s used untreated lumber or skipped the peel-and-stick membrane. We pull the unit, rebuild the curb with pressure-treated stock, re-membrane, and reset the PGT product. It’s more expensive than a seal job, but it’s the difference between fixing it once and watching it fail every other August.
• Improper PGT hurricane clip engagement. In a lot of older Little Gables roofs, the hurricane clips holding PGT roof units were never fully seated. You can’t see it from inside, but it means an impact-rated PGT unit is only as strong as a wet cardboard box because the clips aren’t doing their job. We check clip torque and engagement on every PGT roof repair we touch, whether you called us about that or not.

Our PGT Roof Repair Process

Every PGT job in Little Gables follows the same sequence. Fourteen years of doing this taught us that skipping steps is how callbacks happen.

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We ask questions that help us understand the failure before we ever send a truck: how old the PGT unit is, where the water is showing up, what you’ve tried already. No voicemail loops, no call centers.
2. 2
   We diagnose before we touch anything. Our technician gets on the roof, inspects the PGT unit and the surrounding decking, and tells you what’s actually wrong. You get the diagnosis in plain English, with the repair options and prices before any work starts.
3. 3
   Parts call: OEM vs. aftermarket. If PGT still makes the part and it’s available without delay, we use OEM. If the line is discontinued and the OEM supply is gone, we tell you honestly and use a quality aftermarket match that meets or beats the original spec. We never quietly substitute parts and hope you don’t notice.
4. 4
   We fix it permanently. No caulk-and-go. We address the root cause, whether that’s a failed seal, a rotted curb, or improperly seated clips, and we do it to the standard we’d want on our own roofs in this neighborhood.
5. 5
   We test and verify. Every repair gets a water test where it’s safe to do so, and we photograph the work for your records. You’ll see exactly what was done and why.
6. 6
   We stand behind it. Our Done Right Promise covers our work. Ed’s name is on the business, and if it’s not right, we make it right. That’s not warranty fine print; that’s how we’ve operated since 2011.

What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Little Gables

Here’s what we typically see in Little Gables, based on the actual repair and not on a menu of inflated line items:

• Flashing reseal around PGT roof units: $180 to $310 per unit
• PGT SkyView glass pack replacement: $400 to $675 depending on size and frame condition
• Curb rebuild and membrane replacement under a PGT unit: $550 to $950, including rot removal and new flashing
• Hurricane clip re-engagement or replacement: $150 to $275 when the deck is sound
• Full PGT roof component replacement (when repair won’t hold): $1,200 to $2,800 installed, depending on the unit and the deck work required

The variables that move your price: curb condition, access difficulty, whether the unit is still under PGT’s warranty, and whether the failure has damaged the surrounding roof deck. We quote a written, line-item price before any work begins, and that price does not change once we start.
