How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds impact-rated windows and doors that hold up remarkably well in Southwest Florida. But no roof assembly is indestructible, especially after a decade of Fort Myers sun and storm cycles. These are the failure patterns we see most often on PGT-equipped homes, and what we do about each one.

• Flashing separation at PGT WinGuard window and door heads. The WinGuard line is impact-rated and typically performs well, but the roof-to-wall flashing above large window banks and sliding glass doors takes a beating from wind-driven rain. When the flashing lifts or the sealant degrades, water tracks down behind the wall system. We strip the affected area, inspect the PGT frame for hidden water damage, and rebuild the flashing detail with new step flashing and a continuous head flashing that sheds water away from the opening.
• Underlayment breakdown beneath shingle roofs on PGT homes built before 2010. Many older Fort Myers PGT homes still have their original felt underlayment, which bakes and brittles under our UV exposure. Shingles look fine, but the waterproof layer underneath is shot. We see this constantly on ranch-style homes off McGregor Boulevard. The fix is a full underlayment replacement: synthetic, high-temp rated, and mechanically fastened per current Miami-Dade County standards.
• Skylight and roof penetration leaks around PGT impact-rated window installations. Roof penetrations near PGT window banks, especially vent pipes and exhaust flues, often leak because the original boots have cracked. Water travels along the roof deck and shows up as ceiling stains near the window wall. We replace the boots with lifetime silicone units, re-bed them in sealant, and confirm the PGT frame below is dry and intact.
• Gutter and drip-edge failures that back water into PGT door thresholds. A sagging gutter or a pulled-away drip edge lets sheets of rainwater pour directly down onto PGT sliding glass door thresholds. Over time the threshold seal fails and water finds the interior floor. We correct the roof edge detail, refasten or replace the drip edge, and verify the PGT door still sheds water as designed.
• Tile roof valley failures on newer PGT builds. In newer developments closer to the Caloosahatchee, we see tile roof valleys that were under-flashed from day one. The valley metal is too narrow or the tiles are overcut, and every heavy summer storm pushes water under the tile. We rebuild the valley with a wider, heavier-gauge metal, reset the tiles, and seal the PGT window and door penetrations around the roofline.

Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process

Every PGT roof job we run in Fort Myers follows the same sequence, whether it’s a small repair or a full replacement. No shortcuts, no mystery steps you find out about when the invoice arrives.

1. 1
   Call and schedule the free estimate. You talk to a person, not a recording. We ask what you’re seeing, look at your roof history, and set a time that works.
2. 2
   On-site inspection with photos. We walk the roof, check the underlayment, flashing, drip edges, and valleys, and take photos you keep. You see what we see.
3. 3
   Written line-item estimate. We hand you a fixed price with every component listed: tear-off, underlayment, flashing, material, haul-away, and any PGT-specific trim or threshold work. No change orders unless you add work.
4. 4
   Permits pulled by us. We handle Fort Myers and Lee County permitting, including wind-load documentation. Your roof meets current code, not just the code it was built under.
5. 5
   Tear-off, repair, rebuild. We strip the old roof, fix any decking or flashing problems we flagged, install the new underlayment and roof system, and storm-tie everything to the current wind standard.
6. 6
   Final walkthrough and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. We walk the roof and the PGT openings with you before we load the truck. If something isn’t right, we fix it then. If something fails later, our promise stands.
