AfterPGT Construction in Westgate, FL | Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach
PGT impact window and door service in Westgate runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not any city office, and that changes what your project requires. We are an independent PGT service provider - not manufacturer-authorized - with crews that have installed and repaired hundreds of PGT units across unincorporated Palm Beach County since 2007. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Westgate Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’ve worked on enough PGT units in Westgate to know the difference between a fogged IGU and a frame that’s done. Grant Rowan, our owner, grew up watching his uncle frame houses in the San Fernando Valley and trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before putting in years on commercial and residential sites. That background shows up in how our crews document every opening - photo record included, not extra - and how we explain what’s actually wrong instead of selling replacement by default.
Westgate’s stock of 1950s-1970s CBS homes presents a specific challenge: original construction predates hurricane straps, adequate headers, and the post-Andrew Florida Building Code. When we quote a PGT window replacement, we’re looking at whether the opening itself can carry an impact-rated unit, not just whether the old window comes out. We source OEM PGT glass, hardware, and weather seals when available; for obsolete units, we specify certified aftermarket impact components that keep your permit path clean. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers calls 24/7. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, you get a written flat price with scope and warranty before anyone touches a tool - no “call for a quote” here.
Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Westgate
- Corrosion and pitting on aluminum frames. Salt air and year-round humidity attack west- and south-facing PGT WinGuard aluminum windows hardest. In Westgate, where many homes sit on 60-year-old CBS walls with no original moisture barriers, that corrosion accelerates where frames meet block. We assess whether the substrate is sound before quoting replacement.
- Seal failures in insulated glass units. Fogging between panes is common on older WinGuard units exposed to Palm Beach County’s extreme heat cycling. Westgate’s flat and low-slope roofs often compound the problem by trapping attic heat against window heads. We can replace the IGU if the frame is viable, or quote full replacement if multiple seals have failed.
- Water intrusion at sill pans and track corners. Tropical downpours overwhelm degraded weatherstripping and clogged weep holes on PGT doors and sliding windows. In Westgate’s older homes, original sills were never sloped to modern standards, so we frequently rebuild the pan as part of the repair.
- Impact glass delamination or stress cracks. Repeated storm impacts and the natural movement of 1950s-1970s CBS construction stress PGT impact glass over time. We check for improper original installation - common in unpermitted additions throughout Westgate - that left units without proper shimming or expansion gaps.
- Structural incompatibility with current code. This is the Westgate-specific one. Because your home likely predates hurricane straps and adequate headers, a straightforward window swap often becomes a structural opening reinforcement. We identify this in the initial visit so the permit application is complete the first time.
BeforeAfterPGT Service in Westgate: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Westgate sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, and that status shapes every PGT project we take on here. Your permits run through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not West Palm Beach’s municipal department, and the inspection criteria are county-wide - meaning no municipal shortcuts or local variances. More importantly, the neighborhood’s dense stock of 1950s-1970s CBS homes triggers mandatory compliance with post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load and opening-protection requirements that these structures were never built to meet. On a 1963 CBS ranch along Westgate’s 45th Street corridor, we replaced a set of original PGT WinGuard aluminum windows that were fogging and leaking at the sills during summer storms. Our crew pulled the Palm Beach County permit, added missing hurricane straps to the openings, and installed new PGT impact units with upgraded sill pans. The homeowner passed inspection on the first try and finally stopped mopping up after every downpour. That job illustrates why we never quote PGT replacement in Westgate without inspecting the opening structure - your neighbor in West Palm Beach city limits might skip the strap upgrade you can’t avoid.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Westgate
Our crews work on the full PGT impact-rated lineup: PGT sales & service covers WinGuard Aluminum Impact Windows, WinGuard Vinyl Impact Windows, Premier Series Impact Doors, and SolarZone Insulated Glass Packages. We maintain relationships with distributors who stock OEM PGT replacement glass, hardware kits, and weather seals for faster turnaround on Westgate jobs. For discontinued units, we source certified aftermarket impact components that carry the Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code approval your permit inspector will look for. We don’t guess at compatibility - we check the NFRC label and the product approval document before ordering.

FAQs - PGT Construction in Westgate
Yes. Because Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, all impact window and door replacements must be permitted through the Palm Beach County Building Division and pass inspection for wind-load and opening-protection compliance. We pull the permit as part of our scope. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll walk through what your specific openings require.
15 to 25 years for the frame and hardware, but insulated glass units often show seal failure at 10 to 15 years due to Palm Beach County’s heat cycling and UV exposure. Aluminum frames in salt-air exposure may need attention sooner on west and south faces. We assess remaining life honestly - repair when viable, replace when it makes long-term sense.
Often, yes. If the frame is structurally sound and the hardware functions, we can replace just the IGU with OEM or certified equivalent glass, preserving your impact rating. Replacement becomes the better choice when corrosion, multiple seal failures, or frame distortion are present. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll inspect to give you a straight repair-vs-replace assessment.
First, contain interior damage and document with photos - our standard photo record protocol, applied to your situation. After the storm passes, call us. Leaks usually trace to degraded weatherstripping, clogged weep holes, or failed sill pan flashing, all of which we can diagnose and fix. Don’t wait for the next storm; water intrusion degrades the frame and the wall behind it.
Yes. The Palm Beach County Building Division requires wind-load and opening-protection documentation for every impact product installation. We prepare and submit these calculations as part of our permit package, sized to your specific structure’s exposure and the PGT product’s approved pressure rating. It’s included in our scope, not an add-on fee.
