Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose PGT Construction
We provide independent PGT in Fort Lauderdale construction repair and installation across the city, from Victoria Park bungalows to beachfront condos east of US-1. Our crews work on PGT WinGuard impact windows, 770 Series sliding glass doors, and PremierVue units every week, which means we know exactly how these products fail after years of salt air and hurricane seasons, and what it costs to fix them properly. Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale is not a PGT dealer or authorized service center. We’re an independent contractor that installs, repairs, and replaces PGT products with factory components when performance depends on it. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate on any PGT window, door, or storm-related repair.
Fort Lauderdale construction is different from inland work. Coastal condos and waterfront homes expose windows and doors to salt-laden air that eats aluminum frames from the bottom corners up. The high-rise buildings along the intracoastal put PGT products through wind loads and thermal swings most manufacturers test for but few homeowners actually experience. We see the results. Fogged glass, corroded frames, sliding doors that bind. And we see what happens when someone patches these problems instead of fixing the cause.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale for Your PGT Construction?
Isaac Pruett, our owner, has spent nearly two decades running remodeling and storm-hardening projects across South Florida, with a long stretch of that time managing jobs in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park. He started with framing tools in his teens and learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before building his career around the specific demands of coastal Florida work. That background matters when a PGT unit fails, because the fix usually involves understanding how the window or door was installed in the first place, not just swapping a part.
Every PGT repair we take on starts with the same question: what actually caused this. A fogged WinGuard double-pane isn’t just a failed seal, it’s a thermal cycling problem that will come back if we only address the glass. A 770 Series sliding door that binds isn’t just a worn roller, it’s usually track misalignment from years of wind-driven rain and heat expansion. We diagnose first. Then we give you a written price before any work begins. That price doesn’t change unless the scope changes, and you approve it in writing first.
Our technicians arrive in clean, marked uniforms with photo ID badges at the door. You get their name and photo before they show up. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s how every Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale job runs, including PGT-specific service calls.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale
We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost – before we touch a thing. Here’s what we actually see on PGT products across Fort Lauderdale:
- Fogged glass and lost argon gas in WinGuard double-pane units. The seal between panes fails, argon leaks out, and condensation appears inside the glass. On west-facing windows in beachfront condos, this happens faster. We confirm the seal failure, then order a compatible insulated glass unit from PGT when preservation matters, or quote a full sash replacement if the frame is aged.
- Roller and track wear on 770 Series Impact sliding glass doors. Fort Lauderdale humidity and salt air grind the rollers down. The door gets heavy, then binds, then people force it and bend the track. We replace rollers with quality aftermarket options when they outperform OEM at a lower cost, and we realign tracks instead of blaming the panel when the misalignment is the real culprit.
- Frame corrosion at lower corners of aluminum WinGuard windows. Salt air pools at the bottom corners, especially on east-facing units near the intracoastal and beach. The aluminum pits, the finish breaks down, and eventually the corner loses structural integrity. Catching this early means cleaning, treating, and resealing. Catching it late usually means sash replacement.
- Glazing bead gasket shrinkage on vinyl WinGuard units. The vinyl gaskets shrink over years of Florida heat, leaving a gap that lets wind-driven rain seep in during storms. It’s a cheap fix if caught early: new gasket material, properly seated. Left alone, water works its way into the frame and the damage compounding starts.
- Failed hardware and broken sash clips on PremierVue and WinGuard single-hungs. The clips and balances that let the sash tilt in for cleaning wear out, and people force the sash when it’s stuck. We replace clips, balances, and hardware with factory components so the unit still operates the way PGT designed it.
PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
When a PGT window or door needs glass, hardware, or seals, we use PGT factory components whenever preserving warranty and performance depends on exact fitment. But we’re not dogmatic about it. If a quality aftermarket weatherstrip or roller does the job just as well at a meaningfully lower price, we’ll recommend that instead and explain the difference honestly. A homeowner should never pay OEM prices for a commodity part that doesn’t affect structural performance.
The harder decision is repair versus replace. Our rule for Fort Lauderdale coastal properties: if a PGT unit is beyond ten years old and the failure involves fogged glass, frame corrosion, or multiple seal leaks, we typically advise replacing the sash or the entire unit rather than chasing repairs that buy two or three more years. The math almost never works in the homeowner’s favor on repeated seal repairs, and a compromised impact window isn’t something to gamble on in hurricane country. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll walk you through what your specific unit needs and what each option costs before you commit to anything.
Our PGT Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the unit in place, check the frame, glass, hardware, and installation points. For WinGuard fogged units, we identify which pane failed and why. For 770 Series doors, we assess rollers, track, and panel alignment together.
- 2
Written price. You get a line-item quote before any work begins. Not a verbal ballpark. Not a range that grows at the end. A fixed price for the specific repair or installation you approved.
- 3
Repair or installation. We source the right parts, factory or aftermarket depending on what’s actually best for your situation, and complete the work with the same care we’d put into a full remodel. The job site stays clean, and we protect your floors and furniture during the work.
- 4
Testing. After the fix, we cycle the window or door fully, check operation, alignment, and seal integrity. On impact units, we verify the locking mechanism engages properly and the unit sits square in the opening.
- 5
Written guarantee. Every PGT repair and installation comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. That’s not a verbal commitment. It’s the terms on paper.
PGT Products We Service & Install in Fort Lauderdale
We work on PGT WinGuard Aluminum Impact windows, WinGuard Vinyl Impact windows, 770 Series Impact sliding glass doors, and PremierVue single-hungs. We also install these products as part of full remodels, hurricane hardening projects, and new construction with a General Contractor across Fort Lauderdale. We stock common PGT hardware locally: rollers, sash clips, balancers, glazing beads, and weatherstrips, which means many repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment. For glass replacements and full units, we order directly through PGT distribution channels to get the right fitment the first time.
Most of our PGT installs happen within larger scopes: a kitchen remodel that opens up a wall and calls for impact windows, a storm-hardening package that replaces every vulnerable opening east of US-1, or a condo renovation where the HOA requires impact-rated replacements. We coordinate the window and door work with the rest of the project so nothing gets installed out of sequence.

AfterStorm Damage & Emergency Work on PGT Products
After any significant storm in Fort Lauderdale, the calls come in waves. Most are for impact window and door replacements in neighborhoods east of US-1, where older homes were built before modern hurricane codes and the windows are still the original non-impact units. We also see PGT products that took debris hits and held, but need glass replacement where the impact did cosmetic or structural damage.
If you have a broken PGT window after a storm, call us at (754) 354-3720. Someone answers, day or night. We’ll schedule the inspection and get you a written price before any work starts. If you need temporary board-up or sealing, we’ll tell you what that costs up front too.
We Also Service These Brands
PGT is one of several product lines our crews work with daily. We also install and service KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. That multi-brand experience matters when a single project spans windows, cabinets, and surfaces, and you want one contractor accountable for all of it, whether you need Pgt repair in Pompano Beach or full remodeling elsewhere.

FAQs – PGT Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
No. We are an independent PGT service provider. We do not claim PGT authorization or dealership status. What we offer is field experience, honest diagnosis, and written pricing before work starts. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Fogging between the panes almost always means the seal has failed and the argon gas has leaked out. It happens more often on west-facing units that take the harshest afternoon thermal cycling. We can replace the insulated glass unit and reseal the sash, but if the unit is over ten years old, a full sash replacement is usually the smarter long-term fix. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll assess your specific unit.
Yes, in most cases. We replace rollers and realign the track without pulling the entire panel. That said, if the track is bent from the door being forced while binding, you may need panel work too. We’ll tell you what’s actually wrong and quote each option separately so you can decide.
Yes. We install PGT WinGuard and PremierVue units on a regular basis across Fort Lauderdale, including coastal high-rises and older single-family homes east of US-1, and we also handle PGT Construction in Davie, FL. We source through PGT distribution channels and handle the permitting and inspection requirements for impact-rated work.
Depends on how deep the corrosion goes. Early-stage pitting can be cleaned, treated, and resealed to stop further damage. If the corner has lost structural integrity, replacing the sash or the entire unit is the only safe option in a hurricane zone. We’ll show you the corrosion up close and tell you straight which path makes sense for your building and budget.
In our experience, 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance is realistic for coastal Fort Lauderdale exposure, though salt air and direct sun can shorten it on east-facing units. The glass often outlasts the hardware and gaskets. Regular cleaning, lubrication, and gasket checks extend the useful life. Call (754) 354-3720 for an inspection and exact quote on any PGT repairs.
