Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Choose PGT Construction
Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach provides independent PGT construction, repair, and replacement service as a general contractor throughout West Palm Beach, FL. We work on PGT 5500, 7000, 7500, and WinGuard product lines, and we repair what’s actually failing instead of pushing a full replacement. Our crew knows how these windows and doors perform in coastal humidity, salt air, and hurricane code cycles, and we carry OEM-compatible parts locally for faster turnaround. Call (728) 203-9809 to schedule a free estimate.
We are an independent Florida-certified building contractor. We are not a PGT factory, dealer, or authorized service center, and we don’t pretend to be. What that means for you is straightforward: we diagnose the actual problem, quote a written price before any work starts, and stand behind the repair with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a PGT window or door fails within that year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Why Trust Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach for Your PGT Construction?
PGT products are built for South Florida conditions, but they still fail in predictable ways after years of salt exposure and thermal cycling. Our technicians have repaired hundreds of PGT windows and doors across West Palm Beach, from El Cid to Flamingo Park to Northwood Village, and we also offer PGT in Palm Beach Gardens. We know which components corrode first, which weatherstripping compounds hold up, and when a repair will outlast a replacement. That depth of brand-specific knowledge means we don’t guess. We diagnose, quote a fixed number, and execute.
Curtis Lane, owner of Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach, grew up in Los Angeles and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending three decades running jobs from slab foundations to full gut renovations. He’s been working West Palm Beach jobs for years, including notable work along the Northwood Village corridor. Curtis knows the local soil conditions, inspection timelines, and hurricane-strapping requirements the way most people know their own kitchen layout. His standard is simple: straight number, full scope, no surprises after the invoice. If something changes in the field, he calls you before he touches it.
Every PGT service call follows The Garrison Standard, the framework behind Bradford Remodeling’s written pricing and guarantee terms. You get a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on site, and a signed guarantee in your hand at job close. That’s what squared away looks like.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Fix in West Palm Beach
- Corroded cam locks on PGT 5500 slider windows. Salt air in West Palm Beach attacks the zinc and aluminum lock bodies on 5500 series sliders faster than inland Florida. The lock seizes or the cam stops engaging, which means the window won’t seal tight and air leaks around the sash. We replace the lock assembly with OEM or marine-grade aftermarket components and re-align the sash for a proper compression seal.
- Sprung or sagging door handles on WinGuard hinged doors. The WinGuard aluminum impact door uses a multi-point locking mechanism that depends on precise handle alignment. After years of daily use, the internal spring wears and the handle droops, which pulls the latch out of alignment and lets drafts in. We rebuild the handle set, re-time the multi-point lock, and adjust the strike plates so the door seals tight against the weatherstripping.
- Deteriorated interlocking weatherstrip on PGT 5500 aluminum windows. The 5500 series uses an interlocking aluminum-to-vinyl weatherstrip system at the meeting rails. After years of thermal cycling from West Palm Beach sun, the vinyl compound dries, shrinks, and cracks. Water finds its way in during heavy rain, especially on east-facing elevations. We replace the weatherstrip with OEM compound or an upgraded EPDM profile rated for coastal exposure.
- Failed double-glazing seals on PGT 7700 and 7500 vinyl windows. When the seal between the glass panes breaks down, moisture gets in and the unit fogs. The window loses insulation value and, in an impact-rated unit, the compromised glass assembly no longer performs to its original design pressure rating. We assess whether a glass-only replacement is viable or whether the sash needs a full rebuild.
- Water intrusion at WinGuard door thresholds after tropical storms. West Palm Beach gets driving rain. If the threshold pan wasn’t flashed correctly at original installation, or if the sill gasket has compressed over time, water wicks under the door during heavy weather. We pull the door, inspect the rough opening, re-flash the pan with marine-grade materials, and reset the door with new sill gaskets.
PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use PGT original equipment parts whenever they’re available for locks, balances, rollers, and weatherstripping. That keeps the product’s engineering intact and avoids compatibility issues. But we’re not handcuffed to the factory. When OEM parts are backordered or discontinued, which happens on older 5500 series components, we source equal-or-better aftermarket parts rated for coastal exposure. We specify the part source in your written estimate so there’s no ambiguity about what’s going into your window or door.
Our first move is always to repair the failed component. A corroded cam lock doesn’t mean the whole window needs replacement. A sagging door handle doesn’t mean a new door. We’ll give you a transparent repair-versus-replace breakdown before touching the glass, with real numbers on both sides. If the sash or frame is severely corroded to the point that structural integrity is compromised, we’ll tell you straight, and we’ll quote the replacement honestly. Call (728) 203-9809 to get a written price on your PGT in Wellington or West Palm Beach repair.
Our PGT Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We arrive, inspect the window or door in place, and identify the exact failure point. We check cam locks, balances, weatherstripping, glazing seals, and frame integrity. We also check for water staining that indicates a flashing or seal failure at the rough opening.
- 2
Written estimate. Before any work starts, you get a line-item written price. It covers parts, labor, and any flashing or sealing work needed. That number doesn’t move at the door. If we find something after opening the wall or pulling the sash, we stop and call you before proceeding.
- 3
Repair or replacement. We execute the scope: replace locks, rebuild balances, swap weatherstripping, re-glaze sashes, or install new impact windows if that’s the call. We use marine-grade sealants and flashing materials suited to West Palm Beach’s salt-air conditions.
- 4
Testing. We cycle every window and door multiple times. We check latch engagement, air sealing, drainage at the weep holes, and water-tightness at thresholds and sill pans. On impact installations, we verify anchoring per Miami-Dade code requirements.
- 5
Written guarantee. At close, you get a signed copy of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. The site is clean. The windows operate correctly. If anything fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge.

FAQs – PGT Construction Service in West Palm Beach
No. We are an independent Florida-certified building contractor, not a PGT factory, dealer, or authorized service center. That independence means we repair what’s actually malfunctioning instead of pushing a full replacement. We use OEM parts where available, but our recommendation is based on what’s best for your window or door, not what a manufacturer program requires.
We use PGT original equipment parts whenever they’re available, especially for locks, balances, rollers, and weatherstripping. When OEM parts are backordered or discontinued, we source equal-or-better aftermarket components rated for coastal exposure. Every part source is stated in your written estimate, so you know exactly what’s going into the repair before we start.
Most component-level repairs, like cam lock replacements or weatherstrip swaps, are done in a single visit, typically 1 to 2 hours per window or door. Glass-unit replacements and full window installations take longer, usually a half day to a full day depending on scope and access. We’ll give you a specific time window in the written estimate. Call (728) 203-9809 to schedule.

Component-level repairs using OEM parts generally won’t void a manufacturer’s warranty, but we’ll be straight with you: if your PGT product is still under factory warranty, call PGT first. They may cover the repair at no cost. If the warranty has expired, or if the factory refers you to a local contractor, we’ll handle the repair and back it with our own 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
