PGT Construction in Lexington Hills, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent PGT window and door installation, replacement, and repair across Lexington Hills and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains. The thing that makes our PGT work different here is simple: we spec every unit around Cal Fire’s wildland-urban interface review, not just the rough opening. If you need PGT impact windows, sliders, or a full replacement on a slope-lot cabin, call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
Why Lexington Hills Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Our PGT specialists have installed and serviced PGT windows and doors across the Santa Cruz Mountains long enough to know how their aluminum and vinyl lines actually hold up under WUI-grade fire exposure and slope-driven wind loading. Because we’re an independent contractor, we can specify the PGT product that fits your opening and your fire-clearance requirements rather than whatever a sales quota demands. Noel Carvalho, who runs San Bruno Construction, grew up in San Bruno watching the city get built up around him and has spent the last two-plus decades running residential projects from framing to final walkthrough across San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. Our team knows the difference between a gasket that just needs replacing and a frame that won’t pass a Chapter 7A inspection, and we’ll tell you straight which one you have.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Lexington Hills
- Failed weatherstripping and glazing gaskets on hillside wind exposures. Lexington Hills lots sit on slopes where wind-driven rain hits window sills at an angle most suburban homes never see. When PGT gaskets degrade, water tracks onto the framing, and on a redwood cabin that means rot fast. We replace with OEM gaskets and re-flash the sill while we’re there.
- Vinyl frame distortion and sash binding on west-facing units. Prolonged summer UV and heat cycling in Lexington Hills takes a toll on PGT WinGuard vinyl windows that face the afternoon sun. Sashes start binding, locks stop aligning, and the frame can warp enough that the glazing seal fails. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a hardware fix or a replacement.
- Aluminum frame finish corrosion and pitting from fire-season ash and smoke. Airborne ash from wildfire season doesn’t just land on your deck; it cycles through moisture and eats at aluminum PGT frames. We see pitting and corrosion that’s more aggressive in Lexington Hills than in coastal towns because of the dry heat and ash concentration. When the frame is sound, we can restore and reseal. When it’s not, replacement beats repeated repair.
- Sliding door roller and track wear on sloped-lot framing. PGT sliders on Lexington Hills homes that have settled even slightly start to bind and grind. Rollers seize, tracks wear unevenly, and eventually the door won’t lock properly. We stock OEM rollers and can usually get a slider working smoothly in one visit.
- Ignition-resistant spec mismatches on older remodels. We regularly see PGT units on Lexington Hills homes that were installed before current WUI rules. They look fine, but they don’t meet the ignition-resistant spec a Cal Fire clearance inspector wants to see. When that happens, we spec replacement units that actually pass review, not just units that look the part.
PGT Service in Lexington Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Lexington Hills, window and door replacement on an existing wall is often the fastest trigger for a Cal Fire defensible-space and Chapter 7A review. The county fire-safe clearance, not the building department, frequently decides whether your permit moves. That means PGT units on a remodel here usually have to be specified for ignition resistance, not just looks. We’ve seen projects stall for weeks because a homeowner ordered windows that were impact-rated but not fire-safe rated, and the clearance inspector caught it on the first pass. If you live off Old Santa Cruz Highway or up one of the winding roads off Bear Creek Road, our Los Gatos PGT service can help you plan for fire-safe clearance to be part of the conversation. We spec for it from the first measurement, so you don’t get surprised at inspection.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Lexington Hills
We work on PGT WinGuard Aluminum Impact Windows, WinGuard Vinyl Single-Hung and Sliding Windows, the Aluminum Series Sliding Glass Doors, and WinGuard Vinyl Casement and Awning Windows. Our parts approach is simple: OEM replacement gaskets, rollers, and hardware when the frame is sound, and quality aftermarket glass or weatherstrip only when OEM availability is a problem. We stock the common PGT roller and gasket sizes for faster Lexington Hills turnaround and reliable PGT repair in Cambrian Park, so most slider repair jobs don’t require waiting on a distributor.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Lexington Hills
Yes. Most PGT replacement windows in Lexington Hills must meet Chapter 7A ignition-resistant requirements because the county fire-safe clearance is triggered whenever you alter windows or doors on an existing wall. We spec for that from day one, so your window job doesn’t stall at inspection. Call (866) 472-1908 if you’re not sure what your wall needs.
It can. If you’re replacing windows on an existing wall in Lexington Hills, the county fire-safe clearance review often applies even when the building department doesn’t require a full permit. We handle the paperwork and the spec, and we’ve shepherded plenty of slope-lot cabins through without a hitch. Call (866) 472-1908 to talk through your situation.
If the frame is square and the glass seal is intact, we repair. We stock OEM PGT rollers and can usually replace them in one visit. If the frame has distorted from settlement on a sloped Lexington Hills lot, repeated roller repairs won’t fix the underlying problem, and replacement is the honest call. Call (866) 472-1908 for a straight answer on your slider.
PGT vinyl holds up reasonably well, but west-facing units in Lexington Hills take prolonged UV and heat cycling that can cause sash binding and frame distortion over time. Fire-season ash accelerates aluminum frame corrosion. We see both patterns regularly, and we’ll tell you which fix is worth the money. Call (866) 472-1908 to have us look.
We can usually match the footprint, but Lexington Hills remodels often involve non-conforming wall conditions that need custom flashing or frame modification. We measure and spec each unit individually, and we’ll tell you if the old footprint is even worth keeping before you spend the money. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free measurement.
