How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

PGT builds a solid roof, but Sarasota’s salt air, hurricane season, and relentless afternoon heat find the weak spots in any product. Here’s what we see on PGT jobs in this area:

• Shingle granule loss on PGT’s asphalt shingle lines: Sarasota’s UV exposure is brutal. After eight to ten years, we start seeing heavy granule shedding, especially on south-facing roof planes. That grit washing into your gutters means the shingle’s protective surface is thinning. We check granule loss before recommending anything, because sometimes it’s just normal wear and sometimes it signals a product from a bad batch that should be replaced under warranty.
• Tile cracking at the corners on PGT tile roofing systems: The real cause isn’t usually foot traffic. It’s thermal expansion, the tile heats up and cools down daily, and corner cracks form. Once water gets into those narrow fissures, it works into the underlayment. We walk the entire roof surface, map every cracked tile, and replace only what’s needed. That matters because matching tile color from a discontinued batch is harder than homeowners expect.
• Metal panel oil-canning and fastener back-out on PGT metal roofs: Oil-canning, that wavy distortion you see in certain light, is often a cosmetic issue, not structural. Fastener back-out is the one that actually leaks. Metal expands and contracts so much in Florida heat that screws can slowly back out over the years. We retorque or replace fasteners with the right neoprene-washered hardware, and we check the panel’s underside for hidden corrosion at the same time.
• Flashing failures around vents, valleys, and skylights: This one hits all PGT roof types. The roofing material itself is usually fine. The flashing, the metal transitions where roof meets obstacles, fails first. We’ve pulled flashing off PGT shingle roofs in Sarasota that looked fine from the ground but had an inch-wide gap behind the surface caulk. We fabricate or source OEM-spec flashing and re-seal the transition properly, not just smear more caulk over the old joint.
• Underlayment breakdown beneath PGT tile: Even when every tile is intact, the waterproof layer underneath degrades. Original underlayments on older PGT tile installations in Sarasota weren’t always rated for our humidity cycles. We do a moisture-meter survey before recommending any tile roof work, because replacing the tile and leaving dead underlayment is the definition of a temporary fix.

Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s what a PGT roofing job with us actually looks like, from the first call to the final walkthrough:

1. 1
   You call (941) 267-0779. A live person answers, we schedule a visit, and there’s no trip charge inside our home county.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and the attic. We’re not just looking at the surface. PGT leaks often show up in the attic before they show up on the ceiling, so we check from both sides.
3. 3
   We map the damage and decide: repair or replace. If the issue is isolated, like a handful of cracked tiles or one bad valley, we tell you. If the underlayment or deck is gone, we explain why a full replacement actually protects your investment better than patching.
4. 4
   We source parts, OEM where it matters, quality aftermarket where it’s honest. For warranty-critical components and visible tile matching, we use OEM-spec materials. For generic components like standard fasteners or underlayment, we use proven aftermarket products that meet or exceed spec, and we tell you which is which.
5. 5
   We complete the repair or replacement and test it. Every job gets a water test on repair areas and a full visual sweep before we call it done. If it leaks, we’re not done.
6. 6
   We walk you through what we did and what’s covered. You get a clear breakdown of the work, and the whole thing falls under our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
