AfterPGT Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood: What to Know First
We provide independent PGT custom and geometric window service in Hollywood, from arched and curved units to oversized openings and shaped impact windows. Most PGT custom jobs we measure in Hollywood run $2,800-$7,500 installed, depending on whether we’re retrofitting a shaped opening or replacing a failed geometric unit with new PGT Winguard or WinVue glass. Turnaround for standard custom shapes is typically 4-6 weeks from measured survey to installation; odd-radius curves or true divided-light patterns can push to 8 weeks. This page is for PGT owners in Hollywood, FL who need custom or geometric windows repaired, replaced, or newly installed - and who want the written price before any work starts. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule your free measured survey.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT Winguard Aluminum geometric units: The thermal break in aluminum geometric frames cracks at the miter joints after 8-12 years in Hollywood’s salt-air cycle, especially on south-facing gables. We see this on radius-top windows above entry doors in neighborhoods like Hollywood Lakes. We replace the thermal break assembly with OEM-spec extrusions and re-glaze with laminated impact glass matched to the original DP rating.
- PGT WinVue vinyl custom shapes: The welded corners on octagonal and hexagonal WinVue units stress-crack when the rough opening settles, which happens faster in Hollywood’s sandy, well-draining soils than in denser ground. We cut back to sound vinyl, heat-weld new corner blocks, and reset the unit with composite shims that don’t rot.
- PGT Winguard laminated glass delamination: The PVB interlayer in impact-rated geometric windows clouds at the edges after prolonged exposure to UV and humidity - common in Hollywood’s unshaded east exposures. This isn’t a frame failure; it’s a glazing failure. We order replacement laminated glass from PGT’s OEM supplier, not aftermarket float glass, and re-glaze to maintain the original missile-impact certification.
- PGT Architectural Series oversized units: The structural silicone bond between glass and frame creeps on units over 60 inches in any dimension, especially when the original installer didn’t use PGT’s specified primer on the glass edge. We remove the lite, abrade and re-prime per PGT’s field-glazing bulletin, and re-bond with Dow 995 or SikaHyflex-600 as specified.
- PGT custom color anodized frames: The bronze and black anodized finishes on Hollywood’s mid-century modern retrofits chalk and fade unevenly due to salt spray from the Intracoastal. We don’t paint over anodizing; we source PGT-matched extrusions in the original finish code or, when discontinued, specify a Class I architectural anodize from a certified finisher that PGT’s warranty accepts as equivalent.
Our PGT Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey you keep. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure, level, and the PGT spec binder for the series in question. We record rough opening dimensions, sightline measurements, and frame condition. You get a copy before we leave.
- 2
Written price before any work starts. The quote references the exact PGT model, glass makeup, and finish code. Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document. No change orders, no surprises.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified equivalent. For current PGT lines, we order factory-direct. For discontinued series, we source from PGT’s authorized aftermarket vendors or fabricate from documented equivalents - never guessing.
- 4
Installation per PGT field guidelines. Verified crews, license numbers on record, uniformed arrival. We shim, flash, and seal to PGT’s written instructions, not habit.
- 5
Testing and photo record. Operate every sash, check every lock, photograph the completed installation from inside and out. You get the photo record. We keep the backup.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise. Under the Haven Standard, if it’s not done right, we make it right. The promise is stamped on your job record, not offered as a courtesy.

What moves the price: the PGT series (Winguard Aluminum vs. WinVue vinyl vs. Architectural), the glass makeup (single-laminate vs. insulated laminated), whether the rough opening needs reframing, and whether the original finish is still available. We don’t estimate by phone for custom shapes - the geometry has to be measured. Call (754) 714-7309 for your free measured survey and written quote.

FAQs
No. As an independent PGT service provider, we follow PGT’s published installation and field-glazing guidelines, use OEM or warranty-accepted equivalent parts, and document everything. PGT’s warranty covers product defects; our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers installation workmanship. The two don’t conflict when the work is done to spec. Call (754) 714-7309 if you want us to review your warranty documents before we start.
Standard custom shapes from PGT’s Florida facility run 4-6 weeks after measured survey. True radius curves, custom grilles, or non-standard finishes push to 6-8 weeks. We don’t quote timelines we can’t verify - the factory confirms lead time when we place the order, and we pass that date to you in writing. Call (754) 714-7309 to get your survey on the schedule.
Glass-only replacement is common for delamination, seal failure, or impact damage in frames that are still square and corrosion-free. We replace the full unit when the frame is twisted, the thermal break is cracked through, or the hardware is obsolete and no longer repairable. We tell you which category you’re in at the measured survey, with prices for both paths. Call (754) 714-7309 for the free evaluation.
We don’t stock custom geometric units - no installer does, because every shaped opening is different. We stock standard PGT hardware, fasteners, and sealants for emergency stabilization. For full replacement, we measure, order factory-direct, and install when it arrives. Call (754) 714-7309 and we’ll tell you whether we can stabilize your unit same-day or if it needs to be ordered.
Hollywood’s summer rain hits from the southeast at low angles, driving water against the head joint of arched units that don’t have adequate cap flashing. PGT’s installation instructions specify a minimum 4-inch head flashing lap; we find original installers often cut that to 2 inches or skip the end dams. We remove the trim, install proper flashing with sealed end dams, and re-seal with SikaFlex or equivalent. The fix is in the flashing, not the window. Call (754) 714-7309 for a leak diagnosis - estimates are free.
