AfterPGT Construction in West Palm Beach, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we provide independent PGT service across West Palm Beach - installation, repair, and replacement of WinGuard, SpectraGuard, and Eze-Breeze windows and doors. The thing that makes our PGT work different here is that we know what salt air, 160 mph wind codes, and the Historic Preservation Board do to these units over time. Tom Barrett has been on West Palm Beach job sites since 1998, and our crews work on PGT products daily. If your PGT window is fogged, corroded, or whistling, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’re the independent contractor who sells and services PGT the way it should be done.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley, not far from Van Nuys Boulevard, where his dad took him to watch crews pour foundations on weekends. He learned framing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent enough hours in the field to know the job never lies. Since founding Barrett & Sons in 1998, he’s worked on PGT windows and doors across West Palm Beach - from Flamingo Park to the western 33411 and 33412 tract homes. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom’s sons run crews, and Tom is on-site most days.
We choose parts the way the factory would want us to. Genuine PGT impact glass packs, hinge kits, weatherstripping, and rollers whenever the frame is sound - because no aftermarket part matches factory wind-load tolerances. For trim, screens, and exterior casing, we specify marine-grade stainless or powder-coated aluminum from local fabricators who understand coastal Florida. Every price change comes as a written change order before work begins. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call.
Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
Here’s what we see on PGT units across West Palm Beach week after week:
- Corroded aluminum frames on the Intracoastal side. Salt air off Lake Worth Lagoon pits PGT’s powder coating within 3-5 years on casement and single-hung windows. We see it most often in homes along Flagler Drive and the older 33401 and 33405 neighborhoods. We’ll tell you honestly when the frame has corroded through and replacement beats repair.
- Bowed vinyl sashes in 1980s-2000s CBS homes. West Palm Beach heat load causes older WinGuard vinyl sashes to bow slightly, which leads to air leakage. That leakage trips insurance wind-mitigation credits during re-inspection. Homeowners in 33411 and 33412 call us about this constantly.
- Impact glass delamination. Fogging between laminate layers shows up on west-facing windows in Flamingo Park and El Cid after 10-15 years of afternoon sun plus humidity cycling. When delamination covers more than a third of the lite, we replace the unit rather than patch it.
- Loose retrofit frames in hollow clay tile walls. Original PGT retrofits from the 1990s in historic homes were often installed with shallow anchors. The clay tile spalls behind stucco, anchors loosen, and the window starts carrying structural load it was never meant to hold. We re-anchor with stainless fasteners matched to the substrate.
- Rollers and tracks on PGT sliding doors after storm season. Coastal West Palm Beach sees enough wind-driven grit and salt that door rollers grind down faster than inland. We replace with genuine PGT rollers and adjust tracks so the door slides like it should.
PGT Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
West Palm Beach is the only city in Palm Beach County where the same PGT installation crew routinely gets inspected by both the Historic Preservation Board for stucco reveals around new impact windows and by private Palm Beach island estate managers who expect factory-perfect mullion alignment on a 40-foot pocketing door wall. That’s our daily reality. Nobody in neighboring Palm Beach Gardens or Lake Worth deals with that combination on one job. Our crew replaced a 1998 PGT WinGuard single-hung in a Flamingo Park Mediterranean Revival home on Washington Road. The aluminum frame had corroded at the bottom corners from lawn irrigation overspray, and the laminated glass was delaminating at the lower right corner. We salvaged the stucco reveals by cutting the frame out from the interior, then installed a new WinGuard Vinyl sash with stainless anchors matched to the hollow clay tile substrate. The Historic Board sign-off took three weeks, but the owner’s wind mitigation report now shows a 19% credit. That’s the kind of work that tells you we understand West Palm Beach PGT service the way a factory-trained crew never will from a call center.
PGT Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We install, repair, and replace across the PGT line: PGT WinGuard Aluminum, PGT WinGuard Vinyl, PGT SpectraGuard, and PGT Eze-Breeze. We keep genuine PGT structural components in local stock - impact glass packs, hinge kits, weatherstripping, rollers - so turnaround in West Palm Beach doesn’t stall waiting on a factory shipment. When a frame is still sound, we repair with factory parts. When a frame has corroded through or laminate is failing across more than a third of the lite, we replace the unit. And we never use aftermarket structural parts where wind load matters. For West Palm Beach service area calls, we can usually have a crew on-site within a couple of days.

FAQs - PGT Construction in West Palm Beach
Yes, it can. Any exterior work in El Cid and other West Palm Beach historic districts requires HPB review before permits are issued, and changing frame material or stucco reveal profiles triggers that review. We handle the paperwork and match profiles so the board signs off without a fight. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific street requires.
Yes. Coastal storms drive salt and grit into rollers and tracks, and that’s the most common cause of a stiff PGT sliding door in West Palm Beach. We replace rollers with genuine PGT parts, clean and realign tracks, and the door glides again. If the frame is racked or corroded through, we’ll tell you honestly and quote a replacement. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Usually it’s the sash bowing under heat load and opening a hairline gap at the weatherstripping. West Palm Beach’s western ZIPs - 33411, 33412 - see this on older WinGuard vinyl units in CBS tract homes. We can re-shim the sash or replace weatherstripping to close the gap and quiet the whistle. Call (877) 610-1318 for an inspection.
Sometimes. The Historic Preservation Board in West Palm Beach can require matching original glass character on 1920s-1940s homes, and that affects which PGT glazing configurations we can use. We’ve done this before in Flamingo Park. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your specific house and tell you what the board will expect.
Impact windows are usually worth it, but the wall substrate matters. Hollow clay tile requires proper stainless anchors, and the board may restrict what frames you can use. We’ll give you a straight answer after looking at your walls and windows. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
