How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid product, but after enough Fort Lauderdale summers, even the best roofing shows its age. Here are the failure patterns our techs see most often on PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofs in this area:

• Shingle granule loss and seal failure on older PGT asphalt shingle lines. Fort Lauderdale’s UV index is brutal, and PGT shingle lines like the TruSlate and Estate collection start shedding granules after 12 to 15 years of direct coastal sun. Once the protective granules go, the asphalt mat underneath bakes and cracks. We strip the damaged courses, check the underlayment for moisture intrusion, and re-install with matching material after leveling any decking that’s warped from attic heat.
• Tile spalling and lifting along the ridge lines. PGT tile profiles, particularly the heavier concrete barrel styles, take a beating in Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms. Water gets behind a cracked tile, the mortar bed erodes, and then wind gets under the loose row. We replace the cracked tile, re-bed the ridge cap with fresh mortar, and reset any tiles that have shifted out of alignment.
• Metal panel oil canning and fastener back-out on standing seam profiles. PGT’s metal roofing lines handle hurricane winds well, but thermal expansion in Fort Lauderdale’s heat-and-cool cycle works fasteners loose over time. When a panel starts lifting, rain follows the threads right in. We re-torque or replace the fasteners with the correct sealing washers, then re-secure the panel before a small leak becomes a rotted deck.
• Flashing separation at wall transitions and skylight curbs. This is less about PGT’s product and more about the original installation, but we see it constantly along Fort Lauderdale’s older neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista. Step flashing pulls away from the wall after years of settlement and wind, and once that gap opens, water finds the roof deck fast. We pull the siding course if needed, install new flashing, and seal the transition properly.
• Underlayment saturation under tiles in low-slope areas. Homes with PGT tile roofs on shallow pitches collect more standing water than the underlayment is designed to handle. Once the self-adhered membrane saturates, it delaminates and the tile above looks fine but the deck underneath is spongy. This one requires removing tile in that section, replacing the underlayment, and reinstalling the tile. It’s a bigger job, but ignoring it means a ceiling repair down the line, and nobody wants that surprise in July.

Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s how a typical PGT roofing repair works when you call Winslow Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale:

1. 1
   You call (904) 913-5886. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and schedules a time that works. No voicemail loops, no call centers.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and identify the exact failure. Our tech walks the roof, photographs every issue, and shows you what’s happening before we touch anything.
3. 3
   We source the right parts. For PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing, we always check OEM pricing and availability first. When an OEM part is back-ordered or discontinued, we recommend a quality aftermarket equivalent that matches the profile and doesn’t compromise the roof’s wind rating. You decide before we buy anything.
4. 4
   We quote the full job upfront. Line items, exact dollar amounts, no vague allowances. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
5. 5
   We repair or replace the section. Uniformed, background-checked techs do the work, keeping the job site clean and protecting your landscaping.
6. 6
   We test and stand behind it. We water-test or wind-check the repaired area before we leave. If it’s not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. Period.

What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Roofing prices in Fort Lauderdale vary by material, roof pitch, and how far the damage has spread, but here are the ranges we quote most often:

• PGT asphalt shingle repair (loose, cracked, or missing shingles): $250-$650 depending on the number of courses and the decking condition underneath.
• PGT tile replacement and re-bedding: $35-$75 per tile for the tile itself plus labor, with most small repairs landing between $400 and $900 once ridge work and mortar are included.
• PGT metal panel re-fastening and sealing: $300-$700 for typical panel lift, more if multiple panels need pulling and re-securing.
• Underlayment replacement under PGT tile: $1,200-$3,800 depending on square footage, roof accessibility, and whether the tile can be salvaged and reinstalled.
• Flashing replacement at transitions: $450-$1,400 depending on wall height, siding type, and whether we’re working around a chimney or skylight.

Big jobs cost more. Small jobs cost less. What moves the price most in Fort Lauderdale is whether water has already reached the decking, because rotted deck replacement is material and labor that no shingle or tile repair can skip. We’ll show you the exact line items before any work starts. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule your free estimate, and remember: $40 off any repair over $200, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
