PGT Roof Repair in Stuart: What to Know First
PGT roof repair in Stuart typically runs between $275 and $1,400 depending on whether we’re replacing a single glazing bead, resealing a curb-mounted skylight, or rebuilding the flashing around a PGT roof window that’s been leaking into the decking. Most PGT roof repairs in Stuart are completed in one visit, and we carry the sealants, glazing tapes, and hardware that match PGT’s factory specifications. We’re an independent PGT service provider - not a factory affiliate - so we quote the repair honestly, including where an aftermarket part will outlast the original and where it won’t.
This page is for Stuart homeowners who own PGT roof windows, skylights, or impact-rated roof glazing and need straight answers about what’s failing, what it costs to fix, and whether the repair is worth doing before the next rainy season. Call (754) 324-4646 and a live person answers - day or night, not a voicemail tree.

- We’re an independent PGT service provider, not an authorized PGT dealer - and we’ll tell you exactly what that means for warranty coverage before any work begins.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds a solid product, but roof glazing lives in the harshest real estate on a house - full sun, standing water after a Stuart summer downpour, and salt air rolling off the St. Lucie. Here’s what we see on service calls, line by line:
- Vinyl Roof Window - flashing flange separation. The most common failure we see in Stuart is the rubber flashing boot pulling away from the vinyl frame after years of thermal cycling. Water gets behind the flashing, follows the roof deck, and shows up as a brown ceiling stain ten feet from the window. We remove the old flashing, inspect the decking for rot, and refit with new PGT-spec flashing and a continuous sealant bead that moves with the frame.
- Aluminum Roof Window - weeping corner seal failure. Older aluminum-frame PGT roof windows used a corner key with a small weep channel. When that channel clogs with pine needles or roof grit from a Martin County oak canopy, water backs up inside the frame and drips onto the sill. The glazing itself is fine. We disassemble the corner, clear the weeps, and reseal. A $200 repair beats a $1,800 replacement every time.
- PGT SkyView Skylight - condensation between panes. This is a seal failure, not a leak. What the homeowner sees is fog between the glass that never clears. It’s a cosmetic nuisance until it isn’t - the inert gas has escaped and the unit’s insulation value has dropped. On PGT SkyView models still under factory glass warranty, we document the failure and help with the claim paperwork. Out of warranty, we quote a replacement insulated glass unit, which is usually half the cost of a new skylight.
- Storm-rated roof glazing - gasket compression set. PGT impact roof glass relies on a heavy EPDM gasket between the frame and the curb. After a decade of Stuart heat, that gasket loses its spring and takes a permanent set. The glass is still impact-rated; the seal is just tired. We replace the gasket with the correct durometer rubber, retorque the retaining clips, and water-test the assembly.
- Any PGT roof unit - installer error from the original build. Dale Kessler has lost count of the PGT roof windows he’s repaired where the original installer never shimmed the curb level before setting the frame. A window set out of square binds the operator, stresses the corner seals, and shortens the unit’s life by years. We don’t patch around bad carpentry. We pull the unit, true the curb, and reset it so the hardware operates the way PGT designed it to. If the opening is right, the rest is just doing the work.
Our PGT Roof Repair Process
Here’s how a PGT roof repair job runs with us, from the first phone call to the final water test:
- 1
Call and diagnosis. A live person answers at (754) 324-4646. We ask what you’re seeing - ceiling stain, fogged glass, a crank that binds - and schedule a visit. We’ll be there when we say.
- 2
On-site inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician inspects the roof unit, checks the flashing and curb with a moisture meter, and photographs what’s failing. We measure every opening twice.
- 3
Parts decision, on paper. We quote OEM PGT parts and quality aftermarket alternatives side by side when both exist. You see exactly what you’re buying, including what comes with a factory warranty and what doesn’t.
- 4
The repair. We remove what’s failed, prep the opening properly, and set the new or repaired components with PGT-spec sealants and fasteners. No shortcuts on flashing. No reused gaskets.
- 5
Water test and cleanup. We test the repair with a controlled water application, confirm the interior is dry, and leave the work area cleaner than we found it.
- 6
Paperwork and the Done Right Promise. Before the truck leaves the driveway, you get a written summary of the work and our guarantee: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing.
What PGT Roof Repair Costs in Stuart
We price PGT roof work the same way we price every job - a square deal, quoted upfront, with no surprise line items on the bill. Here’s what Stuart homeowners can expect:
- Weeping cover or corner-seal repair: $175-$325
- Flashing reseal around a PGT roof window or skylight: $275-$550
- Gasket replacement on storm-rated roof glazing: $350-$650
- Insulated glass unit replacement (PGT SkyView or comparable): $600-$1,200 depending on glass size and Low-E specs
- Full curb rebuild and unit reset (when rot has set in): $1,000-$1,800
What moves the price is access - a two-story roof with a steep pitch costs more than a single-story walk-up - and whether the decking under the flashing has rot that needs to come out. We always tell you before we cut. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free estimate, and ask about the permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

FAQs
No. Independent repair using parts and methods that meet PGT’s published specifications does not void a factory warranty, and we document every repair so you have a paper trail if a future claim comes up. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll walk you through what your specific PGT warranty covers before any work starts.
Both. We stock OEM PGT flashing kits, gaskets, and hardware for current production lines, and we carry quality aftermarket insulated glass units when an OEM unit is no longer made or the price difference is significant. We quote both options on paper so you choose with full information. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free estimate.
Most PGT roof repairs in Stuart are completed in one visit lasting two to four hours, including water testing and cleanup. Curb rebuilds where we discover rotted decking may take a second visit if the framing needs time to dry. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll give you a straight answer based on your specific situation.
If the frame is sound and the curb is solid, repair is almost always the cheaper and smarter move. If the aluminum is pitted through from salt air or the vinyl frame has cracked at the corner welds, replacement starts making more sense than chasing seals. We’ll inspect and tell you honestly, with both prices in writing. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free inspection.
Yes. We work on single-story and two-story homes throughout Stuart and Martin County, and we have the ladder and safety equipment for steep-pitch roof access. Roof work has real risk of serious falls, so we handle the climbing and the repair with trained technicians. Call (754) 324-4646 - a live person answers 24/7.
