How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid roof, but after enough Hollywood summers, certain patterns show up. Here are the five failures we see most often on PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofs in this part of Broward County, and what we do about each one.

• Tile slippage on PGT field tile systems after storm-driven wind. On PGT concrete tile roofs, the most common call we get is a tile that has shifted or cracked after a severe thunderstorm rolls through Hollywood in July. The cause is usually not the tile itself but a nail that backed out of a batten after years of thermal expansion. We reset the tile, replace the nail with a stainless fastener rated for salt air, and check the three rows around it for movement. Leaving one loose tile invites the next storm to do worse.
• Metal roof seam corrosion on PGT standing-seam panels near the coast. Hollywood homes within a mile of the Atlantic put salt air against metal roofing every day. On PGT metal roof panels, we routinely see seam sealant failure and early corrosion where a panel overlaps a flashing detail. The sealant dries, cracks, and water finds a path at the drip edge. We strip the old sealant, clean the seam, apply a marine-grade replacement, and mechanically refasten the overlap. The panel itself often has twenty more years in it.
• Valley flashing failures on PGT shingle roofs. PGT shingle roofs share a weak point that every shingle roof in Hollywood deals with, but the pattern is predictable: valleys collect the most water during Florida downpours, and the flashing beneath the shingle is seeing more volume than the rest of the roof combined. When a PGT shingle roof shows a leak near a valley, we pull the surrounding shingles, replace the flashing with a heavier gauge than what was originally installed, and re-bed the shingles. This is a repair, not a patch.
• Eave and drip edge lifting on PGT tile and shingle systems. In Hollywood, afternoon thunderstorms hit a roof from the side, not just from above. PGT roofs with older drip edge profiles often show lifting at the eaves, where wind-driven rain gets under the edge metal and wets the fascia. We replace the drip edge with a profile that locks tighter to the roof deck, and we refasten it at intervals the original installer skipped.
• Penetration boot degradation around vents and exhaust pipes on all PGT systems. The rubber boots around roof penetrations harden in the Florida sun and split, which is the single most common leak source on any roof in Hollywood, including PGT. When we find a cracked boot, we replace the boot, reseal the base with a polyurethane sealant that is rated for high UV and salt exposure, and verify the surrounding tiles or shingles are still well bedded. It is a fifty-dollar part and a twenty-minute fix that prevents a thousand-dollar ceiling repair.

Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, and he has been measuring, setting, and troubleshooting building components in South Broward for going on three decades. The way we handle a PGT roof repair follows the same rule we use on every job: measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself. Here is how a PGT roof call works with TruePane.

1. 1
   The call. You call (863) 334-2933 and a live person answers. We ask what you’re seeing, where the water is showing up, and when it started. We book a time and we show up when we say we will.
2. 2
   The inspection. A uniformed, background-checked tech walks the roof, maps the suspected failure, and checks the surrounding field. On PGT work, we look for the pattern, not just the symptom, because PGT roofs fail in predictable ways we have seen for years.
3. 3
   The parts decision. Where an OEM PGT fastening clip or flashing detail is available and needed, we quote it. Where a quality aftermarket fastener or sealant will outlast the original, we say so. You get the line items on paper before we start.
4. 4
   The repair. We fix the failure, refasten the surrounding area, and reseal everything that should be sealed. No apprentice works your roof without a journeyman on site.
5. 5
   The test. We water-test the repaired area where practical and document what we did. On metal seams and valley flashing, we check our work before we get off the roof.
6. 6
   The paperwork. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both warranty layers are registered in writing and durations are stated. That is The Keystone Standard, and we do it on every job, every time.

What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Hollywood

Pricing on PGT roof work in Hollywood depends on what actually failed, not on what a roofer decides to sell you from the driveway. Here are the ranges we see most often.

What moves the price is access, the extent of hidden water damage under the surface, and whether the roof is a two-story in Emerald Hills or a single-story in Hollywood Hills. We do not change the price once work starts. If we find something else while we’re up there, you hear about it before we touch it. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a written quote with actual line items.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work

The honest reason is this: we show up, we know the product, and we stand behind the work in writing. We’re not the cheapest bid, and we’ve never tried to be. We’re the call you make after the first guy left you with a roof that still leaks. Every PGT job we do is backed by our Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, with no paperwork fights and no arguing. We are also an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and if your PGT system has reached the point where repair no longer makes sense, we can quote you side by side on paper for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems roofing alternatives. We do not pitch a replacement to avoid a repair. We tell you what the roof needs and you decide from a written quote. We hire local, and we plan to be answering the phone in Hollywood for the next thirty years.
