PGT Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale
We’re Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, and we provide independent PGT window and door service across Fort Lauderdale, from the Galt Ocean Mile high-rises to the 1950s concrete-block homes in Victoria Park. What makes our PGT work different here is that we see the same salt-air corrosion and storm-cycling failures week after week, so we know which parts fail on which models before we even pull the sash. That means we show up with the right components, give you a written price before any work starts, and don’t waste a trip. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
PGT frames, seals, and hardware take a beating in this climate, and we’ve spent the better part of two decades repairing them in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods from Victoria Park to the condos along the intracoastal. Isaac Pruett, our owner, has been running projects here long enough to know that a PGT window a block from the beach fails differently than one inland near Davie. Salt air pits aluminum, sand grit gets into roller tracks, and repeated pressure swings from summer squalls eventually fog older insulating glass. We plan for that.
Every crew member who comes to your door is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and sent with a name and photo ahead of the visit. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it matters when you’re letting someone into your home. We also put a written price in front of you before a single tool is unpacked. And if the work isn’t right within 365 days of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. That’s the promise, stated plainly.
We’re fully independent. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized PGT dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a Fort Lauderdale construction company that works on PGT windows and doors every week and sources OEM PGT parts when the structural integrity or wind-load rating is on the line. For more on the brand itself, see our PGT sales & service page.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
- Salt-air pitting and white corrosion on WinGuard Aluminum frames. Within a few hundred yards of the intracoastal, especially east of A1A, aluminum PGT frames develop white oxidation at weep holes and screw bosses. We see it on the Galt Ocean Mile constantly. Left alone, the corrosion eats into the corner keys and the frame loses its structural bite. Sometimes we clean and re-seal; sometimes the frame is done and a replacement is the honest answer.
- Fogged insulating glass in older WinGuard Vinyl units. Summer storm pressure cycles flex the panes, and after enough cycles the seal between the glass panes fails. You get moisture between the glass that won’t wipe off. This is a known failure pattern in pre-2000s PGT vinyl windows across Fort Lauderdale, and we replace the glass or the sash rather than pretending a patch will hold.
- Worn roller assemblies and sagging panels on PGT 5500 and 7700 sliding glass doors. Beachfront condos mean sand and salt grit collect in the door tracks, and the rollers grind themselves down. Doors get heavy, then they bind, then the panel sags and the lock no longer lines up. We stock replacement rollers for both series and can usually get a sliding door gliding again the same day.
- Hardened weatherstripping and failing interlocking meeting rails on pre-1990s casement and single-hung windows east of US-1. Tropical downpours push water against window edges, and once the weatherstripping turns brittle, you get air leaks and water intrusion. Many of these older Fort Lauderdale homes were built before modern hurricane codes, so the original PGT units are undersized for current wind loads anyway. We’ll tell you plainly whether new weatherstripping will do the job or whether the whole unit should be replaced.
- Post-storm impact damage and blown-out glazing. After any significant storm, the surge in demand east of US-1 is for impact window replacement, where older homes are most vulnerable to windborne debris. We respond to that, and we carry what’s needed to secure the opening until permanent replacement can be scheduled.
PGT Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most out-of-area contractors don’t know: Fort Lauderdale’s coastal high-rises east of A1A and along the Galt Ocean Mile are subject to Miami-Dade County’s stricter High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, even though the city is in Broward County. That means PGT units in those buildings have to meet the same product approval standards as Miami Beach, not the rest of Broward. A PGT window that’s perfectly legal on a house in Sunrise may not pass code in a condo on the Galt Ocean Mile. We order to the HVHZ spec for those addresses, and we verify approval numbers before we install. It’s the kind of detail that gets caught on a permit inspection if you miss it.
That one fact shapes how we handle every PGT job east of US-1. The glazing, the anchoring, the interlock assemblies all have to match the product approval for the specific building envelope. We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost before we touch a thing. For everything else about how we work in this city, see our Fort Lauderdale service area page.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work on the PGT lines that show up most in Fort Lauderdale: WinGuard Vinyl and WinGuard Aluminum impact windows, plus the PGT 5500 and 7700 sliding glass door series. When a unit’s wind-load rating is at stake, we use OEM PGT parts: sash balances, roller assemblies, interlock hardware. For cosmetic pieces like handle sets or trim caps, we may use corrosion-resistant aftermarket parts made for coastal Florida, and we’ll tell you which is which before we order anything.
We keep common PGT components on hand locally so a Fort Lauderdale repair doesn’t wait on a warehouse in another state. Rollers for 5500 and 7700 doors, weatherstripping, interlock assemblies, and standard glazing sizes are usually available same week. Specialized HVHZ-rated units get ordered to spec, and we’ll give you a straight timeline.

AfterPGT Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale

| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |

Coastal addresses east of US-1 tend toward the higher end because HVHZ-rated units cost more and installation involves tighter anchoring requirements and sometime high-rise access.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, in many cases. Fort Lauderdale’s coastal high-rises east of A1A and along the Galt Ocean Mile fall under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, which use Miami-Dade County standards even though the city is in Broward. Your building’s existing approvals dictate which PGT product lines and anchoring details are allowed. We verify the product approval before ordering anything. Call (754) 354-3720 if you want us to check your specific building.
“Coastal rated” means the unit passed wind-load and impact testing, not that the aluminum is immune to salt. Within a few hundred yards of the intracoastal, salt-laden air settles on frames and accelerates oxidation at weep holes and screw bosses. Regular cleaning and re-sealing slows it, but eventually the frame metal loses enough integrity that replacement is the only honest fix. We’ll show you the corrosion and tell you which side of that line your window is on.
On most WinGuard Vinyl units, the insulating glass can be replaced without replacing the entire sash or frame, as long as the vinyl frame itself is still sound. If the frame has warped or the glass channel is cracked, a new sash is the better call. We’ll let you know when we look at it, and the price quote will say exactly what’s being replaced. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Sand in the track is usually the start of it, especially in beachfront condos. The grit works into the roller bearings, the rollers wear flat, and then the panel sags and grinds against the lower rail. Sometimes a deep cleaning and new rollers fix it. If the panel has sagged enough to damage the track or the interlock, you need more work. We’ll tell you which it is. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll take a look.
For common PGT components like rollers, weatherstripping, and interlocks, we keep stock locally and can often start repairs within a day or two after the storm passes. For full replacement windows that need to meet HVHZ approvals, expect a longer lead time because those units are ordered to spec. If you have storm damage, call (754) 354-3720 right away and we’ll secure the opening and give you a written timeline.
