Why Austin Homeowners Choose PGT Construction
We provide PGT repair in Austin for windows and doors, from WinGuard impact-rated systems to older 2200 series single-hungs and 7700 sliding doors. Our crews handle repair, replacement, and the exterior work that ties into those openings, like flashing, underlayment, and metal roofing. We’re not a PGT dealer or authorized warranty center, and we’ll say so plainly. What we are is a local remodeling company that has fixed enough failed balances, fogged glass, and bound-up sliders to know exactly what a PGT product needs in this climate. Call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Trust Penhallow Remodeling Austin for Your PGT Construction?
Here’s what matters with PGT work: a technician who has actually disassembled these units, not just read the spec sheet. Trevor Nash, owner at Penhallow Remodeling Austin, learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent more than a decade on Austin jobsites, from foundation repairs to full kitchen rebuilds. His crew has opened up enough PGT windows and doors to know the difference between a worn roller on a 7700 slider and thermal expansion binding the interlock. That matters because the fix is different, and one costs about a third of the other.
We source genuine PGT hardware and replacement sashes when they’re available. For discontinued trim packages, we use proven aftermarket balance springs, rollers, and weatherstripping matched to the original specifications. We don’t guess at parts. We measure, identify, and test. And we guarantee the repair in writing under our 365-Day Done Right Promise, which means if it fails inside a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, just a second visit until it’s done correctly.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Fix in Austin
- WinGuard laminated glass seal failure. This shows up as hazing or condensation between the panes. Austin’s heat cycling, summer after summer, stresses the seal until it lets go. The glass is still impact-rated, but the insulating value is gone. We replace the sash or the glass unit depending on the frame condition.
- Interlock binding on 7700 Series sliding glass doors. Worn rollers or thermal expansion from Austin’s hot afternoons cause the panels to drag or stick. We see this most often on west-facing doors that take full afternoon sun. New rollers and a track adjustment usually solve it without replacing the door.
- Balance spring fatigue on 2200 Series single-hungs. A sash that drops when you let go, or takes both hands to lift, means the constant-force balance springs have worn out. This is the single most common PGT repair we make. It’s a comparison of a $180 spring replacement against a $1,200 window replacement, and repair wins almost every time.
- Weep hole clogging on horizontal sliders. When the small drainage holes at the bottom of the frame fill with dirt, pollen, or insect debris, rainwater backs up into the sill. In Austin’s drought-flood cycles, that trapped moisture rots the sill and eventually the subfloor. Clearing and re-drilling weep holes is simple maintenance that prevents a much larger repair.
- Casement operator wear on 2300 Series. The crank mechanism strips or the operator arm binds, leaving the window stuck open or impossible to seal. We stock common replacement operators and can usually swap one in under an hour.
PGT Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We keep the fast-moving parts on the truck: constant-force balance springs for 2200 series sashes, rollers and track kits for 7700 sliders, casement operators for 2300 units, and weatherstripping profiles that match PGT’s original extrusions. When we need a full replacement sash or a WinGuard insulated glass unit, we order it direct and schedule the install within the window we gave you. The Kingswell Way applies here: a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, and the same written guarantee on every repair.
Our repair-first stance is simple. If the frame is square, the glass is intact, and the hardware is serviceable, we repair. We replace when the frame is structurally compromised, the glass seal has failed, or the repair cost exceeds about 60 percent of a new unit. We’ll show you the numbers and let you decide. Call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll walk you through the options.
Our PGT Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the window or door, identify the specific PGT series and hardware, and measure the frame and glass. For sliders, we check the rollers and track with the panel removed. For single-hungs, we test the balance tension with the sash at mid-height.
- 2
Repair or replacement. We install genuine PGT parts where available, or spec-matched aftermarket parts for discontinued trim. Every part gets tested for fit and function before the unit goes back together.
- 3
Testing. We cycle the window or door multiple times under load. For a 2200 single-hung, that means lifting and lowering the sash to confirm smooth travel and that it holds position. For a 7700 slider, we roll the panel both directions and check the interlock seal.
- 4
Warranty. Every PGT repair and installation carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails inside a year, we return and fix it. No charge.

We work across PGT’s residential lineup. That includes WinGuard Aluminum Impact Windows and Doors, the 2200 Series Single-Hung, the 7700 Series Sliding Glass Doors, and the 2300 Series Casement & Awning windows. We service older units that original installers no longer touch. We install replacement sashes, full frame replacements, and impact-rated window packages for PGT repair in Cedar Park and Austin homes where hail and wind-driven debris are a real concern. We also tie PGT openings into larger exterior work: flashing, underlayment, and standing seam metal roofs.
We Also Service These Brands
Beyond PGT, we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler, Moen, and Blanco fixtures as your General Contractor. That matters if your window work is part of a larger remodel. One crew, one written price, one warranty across the whole project.
FAQs – PGT Construction Service in Austin
Can you service my PGT windows if the original installer is no longer in business? Yes. We service PGT windows and doors regardless of who installed them. We identify the series, source parts, and complete the repair or replacement under our own 365-Day Done Right Promise, which stands on its own.
My PGT sliding door is hard to open after recent rain. Is that normal? No, it’s not normal. Rain followed by humidity swells the weatherstripping and can expose worn rollers or a misaligned track. In PGT in Georgetown and Austin’s clay soil, a shifting slab can also throw the door out of square. We’ll inspect the rollers, track, and frame and tell you exactly what’s binding before we touch a tool. Call (325) 225-5429 to schedule a diagnosis.
Do you replace just the glass in a PGT WinGuard window, or the entire sash? For most WinGuard units, we replace the entire sash. The laminated impact glass is bonded into the sash frame, and trying to swap only the glass compromises the impact rating. A sash replacement keeps the original frame and the impact certification intact, and it typically costs less than a full window replacement.
My PGT single-hung window slams shut when I let go. What’s wrong? The constant-force balance springs have worn out. It’s a common failure on 2200 series single-hungs, especially windows that get daily use or face direct sun. We replace the springs on both sides, test the travel, and reset the sash. The repair takes about an hour per window. Estimates are free.
Can you integrate PGT impact windows with a new metal roof installation? Yes, and this is where hiring one crew pays off. We set the window openings, flash the transitions to the standing seam panels, and install the impact windows so the water-shedding plane is continuous. In Austin’s hail and heat, that integration is the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and a leak that appears after the first heavy storm. Call (325) 225-5429 for a written quote.
How much does PGT construction cost in Austin? Here are the ranges we typically see:
| Service | Typical Austin Price Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement (PGT impact-rated) | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Roof Repair (flashing or underlayment around PGT skylights/transitions) | $400 – $1,800 |
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15,000 – $40,000 |
Actual cost depends on window count, glass package, existing frame condition, and whether the job ties into roof or exterior work. We give a written line-item price before any work starts. Call (325) 225-5429 for an exact quote.
