New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Pompano Beach pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

PGT Window Replacement: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
PGT window replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs $340-$780 per opening for installed sash, frame, or hardware replacement depending on series and glass package, and we stock PGT-compatible parts for same-day repair on most calls. We see this most often after a tropical system or when the original install predates the 2017 code cycle. The failure usually announces itself with a draft you can’t locate, a sash that won’t stay open, or visible moisture between the panes after a humid week.
Most Pompano Beach homeowners don’t inspect their windows until something breaks. By then the part has often been failing for months, accelerated by salt air, UV exposure, and the thermal cycling that comes with afternoon thunderstorms against 90-degree glass.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT builds several distinct product families, and the replacement part you need depends on which one is in your wall. The label is usually in the head jamb or on the sash itself: a four-digit model prefix followed by a date code. We work with PGT WinGuard (impact-rated vinyl and aluminum), PGT EnergyVue (thermally broken aluminum), and the older PGT PremierVue and ClassicVue lines still common in homes built between 2005 and 2015.
The gotcha we run into most in Pompano Beach is series-specific hardware. A WinGuard 5500 sash lock does not fit a WinGuard 4100, and the roller assemblies for EnergyVue horizontal rollers use a different axle diameter than the PremierVue equivalent. We carry both OEM PGT hardware and verified aftermarket equivalents on our trucks, but we won’t install an aftermarket part where it compromises the impact rating or the warranty. For impact-rated units, we source through PGT’s distributor network to maintain the Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval numbers stamped on the original frame.
To identify your unit, open the sash and photograph the label. If the label is gone, measure the visible glass dimensions, the frame depth, and note whether the lock mechanism is surface-mounted or mortised. That is usually enough for us to pull the right part before we arrive.
Before
AfterSigns Your PGT Window Replacement Is Failing
- Condensation between the panes. This means the insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. In Pompano Beach’s humidity, this accelerates once it starts. The desiccant inside the spacer bar saturates, and the visible fog becomes permanent etching. The fix is IGU replacement, not defogging.
- Sash drifts or won’t stay open. The balance system, spiral tensioner, or friction shoe has worn out. On PGT vinyl single-hungs, we see this after 8-12 years of salt-air exposure. The part is replaceable without disturbing the frame.
- Visible frame separation or corner gaps. Vinyl expands and contracts; after enough cycles, the welded corners stress-crack. This is more common on south- and west-facing walls in Pompano Beach where afternoon thermal load peaks. A corner repair is temporary; sash replacement is the sound fix.
- Lock won’t engage or pulls out of the keeper. Usually the lock mechanism has worn or the frame has settled, throwing off alignment. We check plumb and square first; if the frame is true, the hardware swap takes 20 minutes.
- Water intrusion at the sill after rain. Often misdiagnosed as a window failure when it’s actually failed flashing or weep holes packed with debris. We clear the drainage path and check the pan flashing before quoting a window replacement. Measure once, document it, then cut.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component | Typical Range (Pompano Beach) |
|---|---|
| IGU replacement (standard size) | $340-$520 |
| Sash replacement (vinyl single-hung) | $480-$680 |
| Hardware set (locks, rollers, balance) | $180-$320 |
| Full frame replacement (impact-rated) | $620-$780 |
What drives the range: glass package (standard vs. Low-E vs. impact-laminated), frame size, and whether the original installation left adequate shim space for clean extraction. Every quote we write in Pompano Beach starts with the measured survey you keep. The price on that document is the price on the invoice. Haven Clause 1.
Labor, disposal of the failed component, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise are included. Impact-rated replacements include verification that the new unit carries the same Florida Product Approval number as the original. We photograph the installed condition and the label for your record before we leave.
DIY or Call Us?
There is no high-tension spring or electrical hazard in standard window replacement, but there is a precision hazard. An IGU or sash that is not squared and shimmed correctly will bind, leak, or fail early. We have removed plenty of owner-installed sashes that were close enough to slide in but not close enough to seal.
What you can safely check: clear weep holes with a pipe cleaner, verify the lock keeper is tight, and confirm the frame is not visibly out of square with a 4-foot level. What goes wrong in DIY: ordering the wrong series hardware, disturbing the flashing, or installing an impact-rated sash without confirming the approval label transfers. If your PGT unit is under warranty, DIY replacement may void it.

FAQs
PGT vinyl windows in coastal South Florida typically perform 15-22 years for the frame and 10-15 years for the IGU seal, depending on exposure and maintenance. West- and south-facing units see the shortest lifespan due to thermal cycling and UV load. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote on replacement - estimates are free.
Hardware and balance systems can often be repaired. IGU seal failure and frame corner cracks cannot; the fix is replacement of the failed component. We will tell you which category your unit falls into during the measured survey. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
