PGT Construction in Boulder Creek, CA | Workshop Contractors
We install, repair, and replace PGT windows and doors across Boulder Creek, including WinGuard impact-rated aluminum and vinyl units on hillside cabins and post-CZU fire rebuilds. The thing that makes our PGT work different here is that we understand what actually happens to these units when they’re installed in out-of-plumb post-and-beam openings on steep, forested lots. If you need PGT service in Boulder Creek, call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Boulder Creek Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’re not a PGT dealer reading from a catalog. We’re the crew that has pulled, reframed, re-glazed, and re-shimmed PGT aluminum and vinyl units on Boulder Creek’s hillside cabins and fire-rebuild homes for years. By the time a homeowner calls us, they usually already know the problem – a slider dragging, a corner weld gapping, a header that crept and threw the frame out of square. Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, learned framing from the generation of tradesmen who built half the houses on his street in Ontario, and he brought that framing-first mindset to every window and door opening we touch here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We’re an independent contractor, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, and that independence is exactly what lets us make the honest call between repair and replacement without a sales quota pushing the decision. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Boulder Creek
- Dragging or seized WinGuard aluminum sliders on hillside decks. West- and south-facing walls in Boulder Creek bake in summer sun and cold-soak through wet mountain winters. After a decade of that thermal cycling, the roller and keeper hardware on PGT aluminum sliders seizes up or drops out of track entirely. We pull the panel, inspect the rough opening, and replace OEM rollers and keepers when the frame is still square.
- Gapping vinyl WinGuard sash corners on unshaded rebuild homes near Bear Creek Road. When a vinyl WinGuard frame gets installed into an older out-of-plumb opening without proper shimming, the sash corners take the stress instead of the frame. Wind-driven winter rain goes straight past those corner welds. We re-shim the frame square and re-seal, which usually solves the leak without a new unit.
- Fogged and failed seals on 1970s-90s PGT single-pane and early dual-pane units. A lot of the original redwood-and-cedar cabins around Boulder Creek still carry PGT aluminum units from that era. The seal fails, the glass fogs, and on a WUI rebuild or retrofit, that becomes both an energy problem and a Chapter 7A glazing problem at the same time.
- PGT patio doors dragging and misaligned on post-and-beam hillside homes. The door itself is usually fine. The header has crept, the frame is out of square, the multi-point lock won’t engage, and the threshold leaks because the opening shifted. We fix the opening, not just the door.
- Corner weld failures on rebuilt homes done under post-CZU timelines. We’re seeing this a lot in Boulder Creek: PGT units installed hastily during the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex rebuild wave, now failing at the corners or leaking at the threshold because the rough opening was never properly squared. We correct the install, re-flash, and re-seal.
PGT Service in Boulder Creek: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic PGT page: a large share of the PGT windows and doors we service in Boulder Creek were installed within the last few years, as part of the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire rebuild wave. This isn’t Santa Cruz or San Jose, where the work skews toward replacing 40-year-old original stock. Up here, inspectors expect Class A assemblies and Chapter 7A ignition-resistant materials on every post-fire home, and a lot of those rebuilds were pushed through under serious timeline pressure. We’re regularly called out to re-do or correct PGT installs on homes near Bear Creek Road and Highway 236 that were glazed fast, not square. The product is fine. The install wasn’t. That distinction drives everything about how we approach PGT work in Boulder Creek.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Boulder Creek
We work on the PGT product lines that actually ended up in Boulder Creek walls: WinGuard Aluminum impact-rated windows, WinGuard Vinyl impact units, PremierVue and Premier aluminum sliding glass doors, and the Architectural Series aluminum casement and awning windows. When the frame is sound, we install PGT OEM replacement sashes, rollers, keepers, and weatherseal. When OEM parts aren’t available, we source quality aftermarket glass and hardware and tell you exactly what you’re getting. We also handle full-frame replacement when the rough opening is out of square, corner welds are failing, or WUI code forces a new assembly. This ties directly into our broader work as a general contractor handling PGT sales & service, window replacement, and full home additions across the Santa Cruz Mountains.

AfterPGT Service Pricing in Boulder Creek
What you’ll pay depends on what we find when we open the wall. A simple hardware repair on a WinGuard slider runs at the low end. A full-frame impact window replacement on a hillside lot with tight access and WUI code requirements runs at the high end. Here are the ranges for the PGT-related work we most often handle in Boulder Creek:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
Every free estimate includes a look at the rough opening, the header, the flashing, and the existing weatherseal – not just the unit itself. Call (844) 384-3361 to schedule yours.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Boulder Creek
Yes, if the home is in a Wildland-Urban Interface zone and the replacement is substantial enough to count as a reroof or building envelope change, Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards apply. That means dual-pane tempered glazing, ember-resistant venting where applicable, and noncombustible flashing details. On CZU rebuild homes in Boulder Creek, inspectors are enforcing this closely. We scope the glazing to meet WUI code before we order anything. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you what your specific lot requires.
Often, yes, but we plan the delivery carefully. Some private roads in Boulder Creek won’t support a full-size box truck, let alone a boom lift. We’ve hand-carried WinGuard panels up slope when we had to, and we stage deliveries at the nearest wide spot and shuttle them with a smaller vehicle. It adds planning time, not necessarily a big cost. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll walk the access with you before quoting.
Probably not. The door itself is usually fine. On post-and-beam hillside homes in Boulder Creek, the header creeps, the rough opening goes out of square, and the track and multi-point lock fall out of alignment. We re-shim the frame, square the opening, replace the OEM rollers and keeper, and re-seal the weatherseal. That fixes most dragging and latching problems without a new door. Call (844) 384-3361 for an inspection and free estimate.
Yes. We match the existing WinGuard frame profile and glazing package, and we can source PGT OEM replacement sashes where the frame is sound. If the original install was rushed and the openings are out of square, we correct the rough opening before setting the new unit. A lot of our Boulder Creek work is exactly this – re-fitting PGT glazing that was installed under rebuild deadline pressure. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll come measure.
Yes. We’re a general contractor, so when you’re adding a room or an ADU on a steep Boulder Creek lot, we scope the new PGT window and door package as part of the whole job – framing, WUI compliance, drainage, and glazing under one contract. PGT WinGuard units are a common spec on these projects because they satisfy the impact requirements inspectors want to see. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on the full scope.
