AfterPGT Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami: What to Know First
We provide independent PGT roof replacement and installation throughout Miami, including full tear-offs, structural deck repairs, and complete system installs on homes from Brickell to Kendall. Most PGT roof jobs in Miami take two to five days depending on deck condition and whether you’re re-using existing skylights or adding new ones. We quote line-item pricing on paper before work starts, and our free estimate at (561) 489-4036 gives you a number you can actually plan around, not a range that drifts once the crew arrives.
This page is for homeowners who have PGT windows, doors, or skylights already in place and need a roof replacement or new installation. It tells you how PGT products interact with Miami roofing work, what we see go wrong when the two trades don’t coordinate, and how we approach the job so your warranty stays intact. If you’ve spent real money on PGT products, the last thing you want is a roofing crew that treats your openings as an afterthought.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
In Miami, PGT products don’t fail in isolation. They fail because the roof, the flashing, and the window or door system weren’t installed as one unit. Here are the failure modes we see most often on PGT jobs in this market:
- Flashing separation on PGT WinGuard casement and picture windows. Miami’s daily thermal cycling pulls sealant away from aluminum frames faster than most installers expect. We see hairline gaps at the head flashing that let wind-driven rain behind the frame. The fix isn’t a bathroom caulk bead. It’s removing the old flashing, inspecting the rough opening and sheathing for rot, and re-flashing with proper roof-to-wall integration so water sheds away from the opening instead of pooling at the sill.
- Deck rot under PGT sliding glass doors on second-story decks. Miami’s humidity and salt air attack the roof deck beneath door pans,especially homes in Coconut Grove and Coral Gables where original decks are twenty-plus years old. PGT sliders are heavy. When the deck sags even a quarter inch, the door binds at the track and the finish floor inside starts cupping. We pull the slider, repair the deck framing, install a proper waterproof pan, and reset the door so it glides like it did day one.
- Skylight curb flashing failures on PGT skylights. PGT skylight curbs installed before Miami’s current high-velocity hurricane zone code requirements often lack the continuous membrane overlap we’d install today. The symptom is ceiling staining that appears a season after the roof was redone. We rebuild the curb, install new flashing that extends under the underlayment and over the shingles, and re-set the skylight to the manufacturer’s spec.
- Improper shingle-to-frame transitions on PGT Vinyl and Aluminum single-hung windows. We see roofers run shingles right up against the window frame with no step flashing or kickout at the bottom corners. On a PGT Vinyl frame, that means water runs behind the nailing fin and soaks the wall sheathing. We correct this with proper step flashing, a kickout diverter, and re-caulking with a sealant rated for Miami’s UV and salt exposure.
- Hail and wind-borne debris damage to PGT glass and frame gaskets. Even impact-rated PGT products will show wear after years of Miami afternoontime storms. We replace scratched or cracked glass with OEM or quality aftermarket units that match the existing frame, and we re-glaze and re-gasket so the original performance stays intact. A gasket that’s dried and cracked won’t keep out Miami’s humidity, and that’s when you get interior condensation and mold on the sill.
Our PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s how a PGT roof job runs with us, from first call to final walkthrough. No surprises, no shortcuts.
- 1
Call and scheduling. You call (561) 489-4036. A live person answers, takes your address and a few notes about the job, and schedules a time for us to come out. We don’t send a regional call center or a callback form.
- 2
On-site assessment. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time, measures every opening twice, and documents deck condition, flashing condition, and how the existing PGT units sit in their openings. We take photos and notes you can see.
- 3
Written quote with line items. We bring you a written quote on paper, side by side if you’re comparing manufacturers, with each line item priced separately. You’ll see the cost for deck repair, flashing, underlayment, shingles, and any PGT-related resetting or re-flashing.
- 4
Permits and scheduling. We pull permits where required, schedule the job for consecutive days so the roof isn’t open through weekend storms, and give you a start date we keep.
- 5
Roof install and PGT integration. Our crew tears off the old roof, repairs or replaces the deck, installs proper underlayment and flashing, and resets or re-flashes every PGT window, door, and skylight penetration before the shingles go down. We test every opening for plumb, level, and water resistance.
- 6
Guarantee walkthrough. Before we leave, we walk the roof and every opening with you, register both warranty layers in writing, and hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is not done right, we make it right.
What PGT Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
Miami roof replacement costs vary by deck condition, square footage, and how many PGT openings need re-flashing. Here’s the honest picture based on jobs we’ve done across the city:
- Basic asphalt shingle roof replacement with standard PGT re-flashing: $12,000 to $18,000 for a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot Miami home.
- Roof replacement with full deck repair and PGT slider reset: $15,000 to $22,000 when deck rot or sag requires structural work.
- Metal or tile roof replacement with PGT integration: $25,000 to $45,000 depending on material and the number of penetrations.
- Standalone PGT skylight curb rebuild and flashing: $800 to $1,500 per skylight, depending on access and curb condition.

FAQs
Yes, it can. If a roofing crew removes or damages the flashing around your PGT units and doesn’t re-install it to spec, PGT can and often does void the warranty on those openings. We handle the roof and the PGT integration together, so the flashing detail meets both the roofing code and the PGT manufacturer’s requirements. That keeps your warranty intact. Call (561) 489-4036 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll verify your current flashing condition before any roof work begins.
In most cases, yes. We source OEM PGT parts where they’re available and use quality aftermarket options when OEM has been discontinued. For older PGT lines, glass can usually be matched by thickness, tint, and impact rating. We’ll tell you honestly if a match isn’t possible and what your options are.
A standard asphalt shingle roof on a single-story Miami home with typical PGT openings takes two to three days. A two-story home or one with extensive deck repairs can run four to five days. We schedule consecutive workdays so the roof isn’t left open overnight or through afternoon storms.
After, in most cases. Roof work vibrates the structure and can disturb old flashing and sealant around existing frames. We recommend doing the roof first, then addressing any PGT repairs or gasket replacement so you’re not fixing the same opening twice. If we find damage during the roofing assessment, we’ll flag it and include it in your quote.
Yes. We pull permits where Miami-Dade County or your municipality requires them, and we schedule inspections as part of the job. If an inspection finds something, we fix it before the job is closed out. You get a paper trail showing the work was done to code.
