PGT Roof Repair in Westchester: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in Westchester typically runs between $350 and $1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing flashing, sealing a failed seam, or rebuilding a curb mount around a PGT skylight or roof window. Most repairs wrap up in a single visit. We’re an independent PGT service provider, which means we work on your PGT products without being locked into manufacturer pricing or scheduling constraints, and we quote every job with a written, line-item estimate before any work begins.
If you live in Westchester and you’ve noticed water staining near a PGT roof window, a skylight that fogs from the inside, or shingles lifting around a curb mount, this page is for you. Call (850) 721-1218 and a real person answers, any hour, any day.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT 6700 Series roof windows: flashing channel separation. We see this constantly in Westchester homes built during the 2000s boom. The 6700’s aluminum flashing channel was designed to integrate with standard 3-tab shingles, but once homeowners switch to architectural shingles (which are thicker), the channel gap opens up and water wicks underneath. The fix is a custom step-flashing retrofit that matches the new shingle profile, not just a bead of caulk over the gap. Caulk over that gap fails within two years in Westchester’s afternoon downpours.
- PGT skylight curb mounts with cracked wood blocking. Westchester’s humidity cycles are brutal on wood. The 2×6 blocking under a curb-mounted PGT skylight absorbs moisture during wet season, swells, then shrinks during dry season. That repeated movement shears the sealant bond and cracks the curb corners. We pull the skylight, replace the blocking with pressure-treated or composite stock, reflash, and remount. Skipping the blocking replacement guarantees the leak comes back.
- PGT 2000 Series single-hung roof-adjacent windows: header leak misdiagnosis. Here’s the one most contractors get wrong. A homeowner sees water on the ceiling near a PGT 2000 Series window and assumes the roof is leaking. In a lot of Westchester homes, the real culprit is the window’s top nailing fin, which was never sealed correctly and lets water run behind the stucco, travel down the header, and drip into the room. We diagnose it by doing a controlled water test on the window before we touch the roof. Saves people thousands in unnecessary roof work.
- PGT WinGuard roof-to-wall transition failures. On additions and second stories where a PGT WinGuard impact window sits directly under a roof eave, the transition flashing between roof deck and window head is the failure point. Wind-driven rain from summer squalls pushes water up under the eave, and once that transition metal corrodes, water rides the window’s top frame into the wall cavity. We replace it with heavier-gauge flashing and extend the underlayment up the wall a full 12 inches, which is beyond what most original builders in Westchester ever did.
- PGT glass fogging in skylight units. If your PGT skylight looks cloudy or has visible moisture between the panes, the insulated glass unit (IGU) has lost its seal. That’s not a roof leak - it’s a glazing failure. The good news is PGT skylight IGUs can be replaced without tearing out the entire curb or roof deck. We order the correct IGU based on the unit’s serial number, swap it on-site, and reseal the retaining channels. If the curb itself is sound, you’re done in a couple of hours.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call and diagnosis. You call (850) 721-1218, tell us what you’re seeing. Ed Winslow or a senior tech asks specific questions about when the water appears, what the staining looks like, and what PGT product is nearby. We schedule the visit, no trip charge inside our home county.
- 2
On-site inspection and controlled testing. We arrive in a marked truck, uniformed, background-checked. We trace the leak path using controlled water testing where it’s safe, and we photograph everything. You see exactly what we see.
- 3
Written estimate with parts decision. We lay out the repair scope and tell you whether we recommend OEM PGT parts or a quality aftermarket equivalent. For warranty-sensitive items like IGUs and load-bearing hardware, OEM is usually the right call. For flashing and sealant, aftermarket options often outperform what came from the factory. We explain why, in plain English, with prices.
- 4
The repair. We execute the fix the same visit whenever possible. That means stripping back the failed flashing, replacing rotted blocking or corroded metal, resealing with materials rated for South Florida’s UV and rain loads, and remounting the PGT unit exactly to spec.
- 5
Water test and cleanup. Before we leave, we run water over the repaired area. Not a light sprinkle - a sustained, directional flow that simulates a real Westchester downpour. If water gets through, we’re not done. If it doesn’t, we clean up, haul off the old materials, and walk you through what we did.
- 6
Documentation and the Done Right Promise. You get photos, a written description of the work, and the same guarantee every Winslow job carries: the Done Right Promise. If what we fixed fails, we make it right. Ed’s name is on the door - and on every job we do.
What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Westchester
Here’s what Westchester homeowners typically pay for PGT-related roof repairs through Winslow Windows & Doors. These are real ranges from jobs we’ve done in the neighborhood, not internet averages.
- Flashing repair or reseal around a PGT skylight or roof window: $350-$750
- Curb mount rebuild with new blocking and reflash: $800-$1,500
- IGU replacement for a fogged PGT skylight: $500-$1,200 depending on size and glass package
- Roof-to-wall transition flashing replacement at a PGT window head: $600-$1,800
What moves the price: roof pitch (steeper roofs are more labor-intensive), how much of the existing flashing is reusable, whether the wood underneath is salvageable, and access. If your PGT unit sits on a second story or over a tile roof, expect to be at the higher end. Every estimate is written, line-item, and locked before we start. No change orders, no surprises.

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and three other premium brands. That matters when a repair turns into a replacement conversation.

Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. Every quote is upfront. And every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. The one down the road.
FAQs
Yes. Most PGT skylight and roof window failures in Westchester are repairable without a full roof replacement. Flashing, curb mounts, sealant, and even the insulated glass unit can all be replaced or rebuilt in place. We only talk replacement when the roof deck itself is compromised or the PGT unit is beyond economical repair. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll tell you what you actually need, not what’s most profitable for us.
It depends on what’s being repaired and how. As an independent PGT service provider, we follow the same repair protocols PGT publishes, and we use OEM parts where the warranty is concerned. We’ll document everything so you have a paper trail if you ever need to file a claim. We’re not going to cut corners that put your coverage at risk. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll review your specific situation before touching anything.
We answer the phone live 24/7, and we schedule roof repairs in Westchester as quickly as our calendar allows. A leaking PGT skylight is urgent because water intrusion causes new damage every time it rains. Call (850) 721-1218 the moment you see staining, and we’ll walk you through temporary measures and get you on the schedule.
Repair is the better call when the failure is in the flashing, curb, or sealant, and the glass unit is still intact. Replacement makes sense when the IGU is blown, the frame is corroded, or the unit is over 20 years old and you’d benefit from a modern glass package. We’ll show you the numbers for both and let you decide. Call (850) 721-1218 for an honest recommendation.
No. Our written estimate is a fixed price. If we open up the repair area and find something structural we couldn’t have seen from the surface, we stop work and bring you a supplemental written quote before proceeding. You approve everything in writing, first. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll show you exactly how our estimates work.
