PGT Construction in Lompico, CA | Brookside Contractors
If you own a PGT window or door in Lompico that’s fogged, bound, or leaking, we’re the local contractor who actually knows how to fix it. We work on PGT WinGuard and Architectural Series units all through the Santa Cruz Mountains, and we understand what this canyon does to them. Call (833) 725-3508 for an independent PGT service assessment.
We’re Brookside Contractors, and we’ve spent years working with PGT aluminum and vinyl window systems on steep, heavily treed lots exactly like the ones up Lompico Road. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by PGT. That matters because our diagnosis isn’t tied to a manufacturer program. We identify the real failure and spec the fix that holds up under canyon moisture, slope movement, and wildfire-zone detailing.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Most window contractors in the Santa Cruz Mountains know the big brand names, but few have actually disassembled a PGT WinGuard slider that’s been settling on a slope for fifteen years. We have. Our owner, Nate Burrell, trained in construction technology at Gavilan College in Gilroy and spent the better part of two decades on job sites throughout South Santa Clara County before shifting his focus to the mountain communities. He grew up in the Paradise Valley area of Morgan Hill, where he watched cheap crews walk off jobs and leave homeowners with warranty nightmares. That’s what put a hammer in his hand early, and it’s why our approach to PGT service in Lompico is built around one rule: diagnose the actual failure, use the right parts, and don’t recommend replacement unless the frame is genuinely compromised.
We’re an independent PGT service provider covering all of Lompico, 95005. Whether your home is up a private drive off Lompico Road or tucked into a redwood draw, we sequence materials and staging for the road conditions that exist here. Your project, your brands. We match the glazing and hardware to the house, not to a sales quota.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Fogged or failed insulated glass units (IGUs) – Lompico’s redwood and tanoak canopy blocks direct sun for part of the day, then lets it blast through in openings. That cycle, combined with canyon humidity swings, wears out PGT glazing seals faster than the manufacturer’s typical lifespan. We see it constantly on WinGuard vinyl units that are ten to fifteen years old. The fix is usually an IGU replacement, not a full window tear-out.
- Binding and leaking slider tracks – Steep lots settle. When a Lompico home shifts even a quarter inch, the PGT sliding glass door frame flexes, the rollers wear unevenly, and water finds the sill during winter storms. We replace worn OEM PGT rollers and re-align the track. No, you don’t always need a new door.
- Sill and frame rot at the opening – Many of Lompico’s homes are older owner-built cabins. Original flashing was often marginal. Where PGT units sit against that framing, we find rot and corrosion behind the sill. We re-flash and re-detail the opening properly, then set the unit back in.
- Shrunken weatherstripping and gaskets – Wind-driven winter rain gets past aged PGT gaskets on sliders and casements. In Lompico, that same weatherstripping also has a fire-safety role. We replace it with the right density and profile for the unit’s age.
- Fire-zone detailing gaps on PGT installs – This is a wildland-urban-interface community. Chapter 7A-style fire-resistant detailing matters here. We regularly see PGT windows that were originally installed without proper ember-resistant flashing, vent, and deck integration. On canyon homes, that’s not a cosmetic issue.
PGT Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part nobody from outside this canyon really gets. Lompico’s narrow, winding private roads and steep driveways off Lompico Road often can’t take a standard delivery truck. So a PGT window and door package has to be ordered in smaller loads and staged at the road before it ever reaches the house. That changes how we sequence glazing and exterior work here versus Felton or Ben Lomond. You can’t just order ten WinGuard sliders and expect them dropped at the garage. We plan the drops, stage the materials, and schedule the install around the access constraints of your specific road. It’s slower than tract work, but it’s the only way to do it without damaging the products or the driveway. On a steep, redwood-shaded lot up Lompico Road, we replaced a set of fogged, out-of-warranty PGT WinGuard vinyl impact windows where the IGU seals had failed and the sills were letting in winter rain against the older owner-built framing. We re-flashed and re-detailed the openings to Chapter 7A-style fire standards, set new OEM-matched glazing units, and staged the loads down the private drive in smaller drops so the canyon road could handle them. The homeowners got clear glass, dry sills, and fire-hardened openings without a full reframe. That’s Lompico PGT work done correctly.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We service PGT WinGuard aluminum impact-resistant windows, which many Lompico homeowners originally chose for coastal fire and wind zones. We also work on PGT WinGuard vinyl impact windows and sliding glass doors, the PGT Architectural Series vinyl windows and patio doors, and PGT EnergyVue thermally-broken aluminum window lines. For parts, we source OEM PGT glazing, rollers, and gaskets wherever they’re available for your unit’s age.

AfterPGT Service Pricing in Lompico
PGT repair and replacement pricing in Lompico depends on access, unit count, and whether we’re doing a repair or a full opening re-detail. Here’s what we typically see across the canyon:
| Service | Typical Lompico Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What drives cost here is usually access and site conditions. A steep driveway with tight turnaround space adds staging time. A home with old owner-built framing may need re-flashing before the new PGT unit goes in. Every free estimate includes a written line-item scope so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Call (833) 725-3508 to schedule one.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Lompico
Yes, in most Lompico homes the fogged IGU can be replaced without tearing out the entire PGT frame. We source OEM PGT glazing where available and match aftermarket units on dimensions when OEM is discontinued. Full replacement only makes sense when the frame is compromised or the unit can’t meet current fire and energy detailing. Call (833) 725-3508 for an exact assessment.
It’s usually settlement. Lompico homes on slope move over time. The frame flexes, the rollers wear unevenly, and the sill loses its seal. We replace the rollers, re-align the track, and re-detail the sill flashing. That fixes most winter leaks without replacing the door. Call (833) 725-3508 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. Lompico sits in a wildland-urban-interface zone with high summer wildfire risk. Ember-resistant flashing, proper vent screening, and fire-rated deck and siding integration all matter. We re-detail PGT openings to Chapter 7A-style standards as part of our standard install and repair scope.
A standard delivery truck often can’t make it up Lompico’s private roads or steep driveways. We order PGT units in smaller loads, stage them at the road, and coordinate smaller drop-offs up the drive. It adds scheduling time but protects the products and your property. Call (833) 725-3508 and we’ll walk your specific road access before the order goes in.
No. We are an independent contractor and not affiliated with or authorized by PGT. That independence means we diagnose the actual failure on your windows or doors and spec the right fix, rather than defaulting to a manufacturer program. For any PGT work in Lompico, we’re your direct line. Call (833) 725-3508.
