New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

PGT Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We install and replace PGT custom and geometric windows in Fort Lauderdale as an independent service provider, with most measured surveys scheduled within 48 hours of your call. A typical custom PGT opening - arched, circular, or trapezoidal - runs between $1,800 and $4,500 installed, depending on whether we’re matching existing sightlines in a Coral Ridge remodel or sizing a new impact-rated geometric for a Las Olas Isles second story. Every job starts with the measured survey you keep, and the written quote is the same document; what we measure is what you pay.
This page is for PGT owners in Fort Lauderdale who need custom shapes replaced or installed - whether your Winguard Architectural arch has developed seal failure, your Premier Series geometric won’t stay true in its frame, or you’re matching a shaped opening in a 1950s Rio Vista home to modern impact standards. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your free measured survey.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Winguard Architectural fixed arches with seal degradation. The curved top rail on these units traps condensation differently than rectangular frames; in Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, we’ve found the butyl seal breaks down faster on south-facing exposures near the Intracoastal Waterway. We replace with OEM PGT glazing tape or specified equivalent, document the seal type on your invoice, and pressure-test before we leave.
- Premier Series geometric sashes that rack out of square. The mitered corners on trapezoid and pentagon units rely on internal aluminum braces that can shift if the original installation didn’t account for live-load deflection in coastal framing. We measure diagonals to 1/16 inch, shim to the structural opening, not just the trim, and leave you the photo record of the corrected sightline.
- Custom circular windows with fogged insulated glass. PGT’s round units use a different spacer system than their rectangular stock; desiccant saturation happens faster because the curved spacer has more weld points. We source replacement IGUs from PGT’s custom division or, when lead times stretch past eight weeks, from our verified aftermarket partner with matching Miami-Dade NOA numbers - always with your written approval.
- Oversized custom impact units with frame flex. PGT’s maximum single-unit dimensions push the limits of aluminum extrusion rigidity; in taller geometric shapes, we’ve measured 3/16 inch of center deflection on units over 60 inches. We spec reinforced subsills, document the load calculation, and won’t install a unit that exceeds PGT’s published span without engineering - because a window that doesn’t fit isn’t a window, it’s a callback.
- Coastal hardware corrosion on salt-exposed geometric operables. PGT’s standard zinc-alloy operators hold up poorly on casement and awning geometries within a mile of the Atlantic; we see seized hinges on Galt Ocean Mile jobs regularly. We upgrade to stainless steel operators where the opening allows, note the hardware change on your measured survey, and warranty the operator for the full 365 days under our Done Right Promise.
Before
AfterOur PGT Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey you keep. We arrive with a printed template for your specific PGT series, record every radius, chord length, and angle to 1/16 inch, and leave the document with you before we quote. Haven Clause 1: Have it in writing.
- 2
Parts decision with options. We check PGT custom lead times, present OEM and verified aftermarket alternatives with Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and note the price difference on your written scope. No surprises.
- 3
Installation by verified crew. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. Sonia Raman reviews every custom geometric order personally; she still measures twice before any unit ships, because that’s the operating principle she built Sightline around in 2012.
- 4
Pressure test and photo record. Impact-rated geometrics get water infiltration testing per the NOA; we photograph every stage and upload the record to your job file. Haven Clause 4: Evidence on every job.
- 5
Final walkthrough with written warranty. You sign the same document we started with, now stamped complete, with the 365-Day Done Right Promise attached. If it’s not done right, we make it right - written into the Haven Standard, not offered as a courtesy.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale for PGT Work
We’ve installed and replaced PGT products across Fort Lauderdale since 2012 - from shaped openings in Harbor Beach estates to geometric retrofits in Wilton Manors midcentury homes. Our multi-brand capability means if PGT’s custom lead time doesn’t match your schedule, we can cross-specify from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems with equivalent Miami-Dade NOA performance, documented in writing before you decide. Every technician carries a license number, not just a business card. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every custom geometric we touch - because Haven Clause 5 means no surprises, including after the install.
Sonia Raman’s standard applies to every opening: “Measure it right the first time or measure it twice on someone else’s dime.” That’s why we don’t start work until the written price is in your hand.
FAQs
No - PGT’s product warranty covers manufacturing defects regardless of who installs, provided the installation follows published guidelines. As an independent PGT service provider, we document every installation detail to PGT’s specification, including frame readings and seal types, so any future warranty claim has the evidence it needs. Call (754) 666-7478 if you’d like us to review your existing PGT warranty documents.
PGT’s custom shop typically quotes 6-10 weeks for non-stock geometries; we’ve seen arched Winguard units stretch to 12 weeks in peak season. We keep you updated weekly and can cross-specify from CGI or CWS if your timeline is fixed - always with equivalent impact ratings and written NOA documentation. Call (754) 666-7478 to check current lead times.
Most fogged insulated glass units in PGT custom shapes can be reglazed with a replacement IGU, saving the frame and trim. We won’t know until we measure the sightline and check whether your specific PGT series still supports replacement IGUs - some older Premier geometries are discontinued. The measured survey is free; call (754) 666-7478 to schedule.
Yes - every impact-rated geometric replacement in Fort Lauderdale requires a Broward County permit and final inspection. We pull permits as standard, include the cost in your written quote, and schedule inspections so you don’t have to. Non-impact custom work in interior applications may not require permitting; we’ll tell you exactly which applies to your job before any work starts.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it - Haven Clause 5, written into every job. We return, diagnose, and correct at no charge. If the failure traces to a PGT manufacturing defect, we document it and work with you on the warranty claim. The photo record from your original install travels with the claim. Call (754) 666-7478 and we’ll schedule the return visit.
