New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound 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 Hobe Sound: What to Know First
As an independent PGT service provider in Hobe Sound, we measure, fit, and install PGT custom and geometric windows with written pricing locked before any work begins. Most custom PGT orders in Martin County run 4-6 weeks from measured survey to installation, though shaped and oversized units can extend to 8 weeks depending on glass tempering schedules. We do not quote over the phone; Haven Clause 1 requires the measurement and the price to live on the same document.
This page is for Hobe Sound homeowners who already own PGT products and need arched, curved, geometric, or oversized custom units installed or replaced. If you are comparing brands, we also specify and install CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems by performance tier and price range, not by margin. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your measured survey.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PGT WinGuard Architectural Series - radius corner stress cracks. The WinGuard line’s laminated impact glass in arched and half-round configurations carries tensile stress at the radius point that flat units never see. In Hobe Sound, the daily expansion cycle from morning humidity to afternoon sun load accelerates micro-fractures at the corner weld. We see this most often on east-facing gables where thermal shock peaks by 10 a.m. Our fix: we specify heat-strengthened rather than standard annealed substrate for the radius bend, and we verify the glazing pocket depth with a go/no-go gauge before ordering. The replacement holds.
- PGT PremierVue custom shapes - seal decompression at altitude. The PremierVue line ships from Venice, Florida at near-sea-level pressure. Hobe Sound sits at a modest elevation, but the real issue is the pressure differential during transport over the Lake Okeechobee basin in summer heat. We’ve opened crates where the insulating glass unit’s inner lite has shifted 3/16 inch in the sash, breaking the primary seal. We reject these units at delivery, document the displacement with photos, and reorder with pressure-equalized spacers specified.
- PGT EnergyVue geometric units - frame twist in trapezoid configurations. The EnergyVue thermal break is effective but adds material bulk that changes torsional behavior in non-rectangular frames. When a trapezoid or parallelogram unit is shimmed without accounting for the thermal break’s offset center of mass, the sash drags within 18 months. We map the shear plane during survey and specify shim points that load the reinforced rail, not the thermal break web.
- PGT WinGuard Vinyl custom shapes - weld line porosity in salt air. The vinyl formulation in WinGuard’s shaped units uses a multi-chamber extrusion that welds cleanly in flat profiles but can trap air at compound miters. Hobe Sound’s salt air finds these voids, and the resulting oxidation blooms at the weld line within two to three years. We inspect every corner with a borescope before acceptance, and we reject any unit showing porosity exceeding 2mm depth. The replacement cost rides on our documentation, not the homeowner’s deductible.
- PGT oversized custom units - deflection under wind load. PGT will build to 120 inches in certain lines, but the engineering assumes specific mullion reinforcement and anchor patterns that field conditions rarely match. We’ve inherited jobs where a previous installer set a 96-inch circle-top directly into buck framing without the specified steel stiffener, and the unit racked 1/4 inch in the first named storm. We pull the PGT shop drawing, verify the anchor schedule against the actual rough opening, and install to the drawing or we document the deviation and engineer a solution. No exceptions.
Before
AfterOur PGT Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure, level, and the PGT sizing matrix for the specific series. You keep the measured survey; we keep the copy. The rough opening is measured twice before anything is ordered.
- 2
Series-specific diagnostic. We identify the existing PGT line by frame profile, glazing bead style, and corner key pattern. If the unit is failed, we determine whether the failure is in the glass, the frame, or the installation, and we document with photos.
- 3
Parts decision - OEM or verified equivalent. For current PGT lines, we order factory-direct with the PGT part number. For discontinued series, we source from our verified aftermarket suppliers with dimensional and performance documentation; we never substitute without writing the change into the scope.
- 4
Installation to PGT specification. We set per the PGT installation manual for the specific series, using the specified fasteners, sealants, and shimming pattern. The crew lead signs the checklist; you receive a copy.
- 5
Operational test and photo record. Every sash is cycled, every lock is tested, and every interior and exterior joint is photographed. The photo record uploads to your file before we leave. The 365-Day Done Right Promise attaches automatically.
- 6
Final invoice reconciliation. The invoice matches the written quote within the tolerances specified in Haven Clause 1. If it does not, we explain the variance in writing before any payment is accepted.

Why Hobe Sound Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound for PGT Work
We have installed and serviced PGT products in Hobe Sound since 2012, including work on waterfront homes near Peck Lake where salt air and wind exposure punish anything installed to loose tolerances. Our crew has put in time on those projects, and the record shows it: we attribute our callback rate to measuring the rough opening twice before ordering anything. Measure it right the first time, and the door closes the way it’s supposed to - every time after that.
The Haven Standard governs every job. Haven Clause 1 gives you the written price before any work starts. Haven Clause 3 puts a background-checked, uniformed technician with a verifiable license number at your door. Haven Clause 4 leaves a documented photo record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not offered as a courtesy.
We are not a single-brand shop. When PGT lead times stretch or a series discontinues, we specify from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. The specification is always in writing, and the price is always named in dollars before we start.
FAQs
No. PGT’s limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship regardless of who installs the product, provided the installation follows PGT’s published guidelines. As an independent PGT service provider, we install to PGT’s specification and document compliance with the photo record you receive. If a defect is factory-origin, we facilitate the warranty claim with our documentation. For installation-related issues, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. Call (772) 362-5967 for specifics on your series.
Standard custom shapes in current PGT lines typically run 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. Arched, radius, or oversized units requiring heat-strengthened or tempered glass can extend to 6-8 weeks, and complex multi-lite configurations may reach 10 weeks. We do not quote delivery dates we cannot verify with PGT’s production schedule. Your written quote includes the factory lead time at the time of order; if it slips, we notify you in writing. Call (772) 362-5967 to check current availability for your series.
Laminated impact glass in PGT’s WinGuard and PremierVue lines can sometimes be reglazed if the frame is sound and the crack is confined to one lite. However, geometric and arched units rarely allow economical reglazing because the shaped IGU must be fabricated to a custom template, and the cost approaches replacement. We assess on site: if the frame is square, the hardware operates, and the glazing pocket measures to spec, we will quote reglaze vs. replace with both numbers written out. Most Hobe Sound homeowners choose replacement for the full warranty reset. Call (772) 362-5967 and we will measure for both options.
We do not stock complete PGT custom units; every geometric and oversized order is factory-built to measured dimensions. We do carry common PGT hardware, glazing beads, and sealants for service calls on standard shapes. For custom units, we can often secure the opening with temporary glazing while the replacement is in production. Call (772) 362-5967 to describe your situation; if it is urgent, we will prioritize the measured survey and expedite the order.
No. Haven Clause 1 states that the measured survey and the written quote are the same document. If we encounter concealed damage - rotted buck framing, for example - we stop work, photograph the condition, and present a written amendment before proceeding. The original quote stands for everything we can see and measure. This is how we have operated since 2012 across 18,000+ openings. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your measured survey; the estimate is free.
