AfterPGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing service across Palm Beach, and most jobs are finished in a single visit. We are not affiliated with PGT and we do not pretend to be: we are the independent PGT service provider homeowners call when the original installer has moved on and the warranty paperwork is not answering the question. Our pricing is upfront and itemized, with both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. If you own a PGT roof system in Palm Beach and something is not right, call (850) 801-5596 and a live person will answer.
Key Takeaways:
- Independent PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing service with same-visit completion on most repairs
- OEM and high-grade aftermarket parts sourced for PGT-specific systems, with the trade-offs explained on paper
- Done Right Promise on every job, plus The Keystone Standard: warranty registration in writing before we leave
- Serving Palm Beach since 2008 through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition, not a franchise playbook
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds solid roof systems, but every product has a weakness that shows up after enough Palm Beach summers. Here is what we see most often, and what we do about it:
- PGT Shingle Systems: fastener back-out along the eave line. Palm Beach’s salt air works on galvanized fasteners faster than the manufacturer’s coastal corrosion chart suggests. Shingles that look seated at first glance will lift at the leading edge after a storm cycle. We re-seat with 316 stainless fasteners and re-seal the underlayment seam, then register the repair against the remaining warranty period.
- PGT Tile Roofs: cracked barrel tiles at the ridge transition. This is the most common failure we see on PGT tile jobs installed before the current ridge-strap specification. Thermo-cycling in Palm Beach’s July heat expands the ridge cap just enough to load the first field tile, and it cracks at the weather lap. We replace the tile and re-bed the transition with the proper flexibility sealant, matching color and profile so the repair disappears.
- PGT Metal Roofs: sealant breakdown at panel side-laps. The side-lap sealant PGT specifies has a working life that is shorter than the panel itself in coastal humidity. When it degrades, capillary action draws water up between panels and you get staining on the underside of the eave. We strip the old sealant, clean the lap with the correct solvent, and re-apply a marine-grade sealant that handles Palm Beach’s moisture load.
- Flashing failure at the roof-to-wall transition. This is not exclusive to PGT, but PGT’s metal roof profiles have a distinctive Z-flashing detail that installers without brand training routinely under-lap. Water runs behind the flashing during wind-driven rain and the owner finds a damp ceiling months later. We pull the affected course, correct the lap, and verify the drainage plane with a water test before closing up.
- Underlayment deterioration under tile fields. The tile itself will outlast the underlayment by decades. In Palm Beach, where the June rains arrive with serious volume, aged underlayment allows water into the deck before the tile shows any sign of a problem. We do a targeted underlayment replacement rather than a full re-roof whenever possible, preserving the tiles that are still doing their job.
Dale Kessler grew up in El Cid, west of the Intracoastal, and he has spent the better part of two decades measuring and setting glass and roof openings across Palm Beach County. One thing he has learned with PGT systems: if the frame is right and the glass is rated, the rest is just following through.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every PGT job follows the same sequence. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
- 1
Call and assessment. You call (850) 801-5596. A live person answers, not a voicemail tree. We ask what you are seeing: a stain, a draft, a rattle, a damp spot. We schedule the visit.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time and walks the roof with you or walks it alone and photographs everything. We measure twice, the way Dale was taught at Palm Beach State College, where the shop instructors were particular about frame tolerances.
- 3
Parts decision on paper. We bring OEM PGT parts where they are available and appropriate, and high-grade aftermarket alternatives where they are the better value for an older system. We show you both, with prices, on a written line-item quote before any work begins.
- 4
The repair or replacement. We set the panel, shingle, or tile to manufacturer specifications, using sealants and fasteners rated for Palm Beach conditions. No surprise line items, no second appointment left hanging.
- 5
Water test and inspection. We test every repair before packing the ladder. If it does not hold, we re-do it on our time, not yours.
- 6
Warranty registration in writing. Both warranty layers are registered, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is not negotiable.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palm Beach
Here are the ranges for the most common PGT roof scenarios we handle in Palm Beach:
- Single shingle re-seat or replacement: $140-$260
- Tile crack repair at ridge or transition: $220-$420 per tile, depending on access and matching profile
- Metal panel side-lap sealant re-application (per 20 linear feet): $320-$580
- Flash correction at roof-to-wall transition: $450-$900, depending on access and course removal
- Underlayment patch under tile field (per 4×4 section): $380-$700
- Full inspection with seam-by-seam documentation: $180, credited toward any repair we perform
What moves the price: roof pitch, access (two-story or tight property lines in Palm Beach’s older neighborhoods), and whether the system is still under warranty. We do not pad the difference with change orders. The quote you approve is the bill you pay.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for PGT Work
We have been serving Palm Beach and the surrounding communities since 2008, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008 out of a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. Every PGT job we take is backed by the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. When a PGT roof system needs a part that has been discontinued or is backordered, we cross-reference against other lines we service - CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems - to find a compatible match rather than leaving you with a tarp and a promise. A live person answers every call, 24/7. That is not a marketing line; it is how the company runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, yes, provided the repair follows PGT’s installation specifications and uses appropriate components. We are an independent service provider, not a PGT-authorized contractor, so we do not claim to speak for PGT’s warranty department. What we do guarantee is this: every repair is performed to manufacturer spec, documented, and registered with both warranty layers in writing. If a warranty claim arises, you have the documentation. Call (850) 801-5596 and we will walk you through what your specific PGT system qualifies for.
Most shingle, tile, and metal roofing repairs we perform are completed the same day we arrive. Larger scopes, like a full underlayment replacement under a tile field, can take two to three days depending on weather and deck condition. We tell you the realistic timeline in writing before we start, and we do not leave the job half-done for weeks while chasing other appointments. Call (850) 801-5596 for a schedule based on your specific roof.
We use both, and we show you the trade-off on paper before you spend a dollar. When a PGT system is young and still under warranty, OEM parts preserve the claim. When a system is older and the OEM part has been discontinued or carries a long lead time, a high-grade aftermarket match is often the smarter decision for a home that is not leaving the family. We never substitute parts without telling you first. Call (850) 801-5596 and we will explain what your PGT roof actually needs.
The honest answer is that it depends on the underlayment and the deck, not just the visible surface. Tiles and metal panels can look perfect while the underlayment beneath them is failing. We inspect seam by seam, document what we find with photos, and tell you straight whether a targeted repair will hold or whether you are throwing good money after bad. We never recommend replacement to sell a bigger job. Estimates are free, and the inspection report is yours to keep either way. Call (850) 801-5596.
No. The quote you approve is the bill you pay. If we open a wall or pull a course of tile and find something we could not have seen from the surface, we stop, show you, and give you a written change before doing anything else. There are no surprise line items on a TruePane invoice. That is part of the square deal: upfront pricing, no surprises on the bill. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule your free estimate.
