PGT Construction in Boulder City, NV | Ellsworth Contractors
We provide independent PGT window, door, and construction service across Boulder City, including Boulder City service area ZIP codes 89005 and 89006. The thing that makes our PGT work here different is the Historic District: most exterior changes need design-review approval, so we match PGT profiles and frame finishes to 1930s-40s openings rather than dropping in builder-grade units. Reed Calloway and our crew have been doing exactly that for years. Call (888) 445-6077 for a free estimate on any PGT repair or replacement in Boulder City.
Why Boulder City Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Most of our Boulder City PGT calls come from homeowners who already asked a big-box store or an online vendor for a replacement part and got a blank stare. We do not have that problem. Our crew works on PGT WinGuard aluminum and vinyl impact units, plus the older non-impact aluminum and vinyl series, every week, including PGT repair in Henderson and nearby areas. We stock the common failure parts locally: balance shoes, weatherstripping, rollers, and glazing seals for the PGT lines installed across Boulder City’s 1930s-40s housing stock.
Reed Calloway grew up in the Whitney neighborhood of Paradise and put in years on job sites before starting Ellsworth Contractors, where we now offer PGT repair in Whitney and throughout the valley. That background means we approach PGT service the way a builder would: check the opening, check the flashing, check the substrate. A PGT window that leaks is rarely just a window problem. In Boulder City, it is often a stucco-to-frame seal that failed years ago and finally let water behind the unit.
We are an independent contractor, not authorized by PGT, and that is a distinction we are upfront about. We use OEM PGT parts when they are available and cost-effective. When a window has multiple failed components, we will tell you honestly that replacement beats repair. No dealer badge required for that.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Boulder City
- Sun-baked weatherstripping and glazing seals on aluminum-frame PGT windows. Boulder City sits at 2,300 feet in the Mojave, and the UV here is relentless. After years of 100°F-plus summers, the seals on aluminum-frame PGT units shrink and crack. Homeowners notice drafts first, then water intrusion during monsoon gusts. We replace the seals with OEM-compatible material and re-flash the frame if needed.
- Warped sashes and failed balance shoes on 1990s-2000s PGT vinyl single-hungs. The older PGT vinyl single-hung windows in Boulder City’s small 1930s-40s homes take extreme heat cycling every summer. Sashes warp, balance shoes break, and the window becomes a two-hand job. We replace both components together because doing one without the other just moves the problem around.
- Desert grit grinding PGT sliding glass door rollers. Boulder City gets wind, and wind moves fine sand. It settles in the aluminum track of a PGT slider, the rollers chew on it, and the track finish corrodes. The door starts binding, then the sill starts leaking. We pull the panel, clean and inspect the track, and replace rollers and sill gaskets as a set.
- Hazing and seal-edge failure on impact-rated laminated glass. Intense UV does not just damage seals. On PGT impact-rated laminated glass, the seal edge around the perimeter can begin to haze and delaminate. Clarity drops, and the impact performance is compromised. In Boulder City, we see this most on south and west-facing windows with no shade.
- Multiple failed components on original PGT units. When a Boulder City homeowner has two failed balances, cracked glazing seals, and a warped sash on the same window, we do not pitch a parts chase. We price a full PGT replacement and explain why it is the cheaper long-term move, given the heat and UV load these units face.
PGT Service in Boulder City: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the thing about Enterprise PGT service and PGT work in Boulder City that does not show up on any generic service page: nearly every home sits inside the Historic District, and the design review board cares about what your windows look like from the street. That is a level of scrutiny no Las Vegas neighborhood applies. If you own a 1940s bungalow with original clay-tile roof and plaster walls, you cannot just swap in a standard white PGT unit and call it done. The board wants profiles, frame colors, and sightlines that respect the Spanish Colonial and Art Deco vocabulary the city was built around. Our crew matches PGT profiles to the original opening and orders frame finishes that pass review. That is the difference between a window replacement that takes two weeks and one that gets kicked back for revisions.
Add the climate to that. Boulder City summers routinely push past 100°F, and July and August heat means we start exterior work at dawn and shut down by early afternoon. Any PGT installation has to be sequenced around that. We also have to account for tight lots: many Boulder City parcels are only 25 to 50 feet wide, so materials get staged on the street and we work around detached garages set close to property lines. That is not a constraint we complain about; it is just the reality of working in a city built for Hoover Dam workers in the 1930s.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Boulder City
We service the PGT lines most commonly installed across Boulder City’s housing stock: WinGuard Aluminum Impact Series, WinGuard Vinyl Impact Series, the non-impact Aluminum Series, and the non-impact Vinyl Series. For repairs, we use OEM PGT parts whenever they are available and cost-effective. Sashes, balances, rollers, and weatherstripping in the common sizes are stocked locally for faster turnaround. When an older unit has multiple failed components or a compromised frame, we price a full replacement. Our broader PGT sales & service work spans window replacement and impact window installation, and our crews also handle roof repair when a PGT window leak has damaged the surrounding stucco, framing, or flashing.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Boulder City
Yes, but only with the right frame profile, finish, and sightline. Boulder City’s Historic District design review covers exterior changes visible from the street, including window replacements. We match PGT WinGuard aluminum impact units to the original 1930s-40s opening profiles and order frame colors that respect the Spanish Colonial and Art Deco vocabulary. We handle the design-review submittal as part of the job. Call (888) 445-6077 if you want a free estimate that includes the review process.
Heat cycling is usually the culprit. Boulder City summers push past 100°F, and the older PGT vinyl single-hung windows in many 1930s-40s homes develop warped sashes and failed balance shoes after years of that cycle. The fix is replacing both components, not just one. If your windows are fighting you every morning, call (888) 445-6077 and we will tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
For most Boulder City homeowners, yes. The combination of monsoon gusts, wind-driven sand, and the need to protect a home that may be 80 years old means impact-rated PGT units hold up better than standard builder-grade glass. The up-front cost is higher, but the seal and structural performance over a decade of desert UV usually makes up the difference. We install both, and we will give you an honest comparison based on your specific openings and exposure. Call (888) 445-6077 for a free estimate.
It usually can be repaired. Boulder City wind blows fine desert sand into PGT aluminum tracks, and that grit grinds the rollers and corrodes the track finish. We pull the panel, clean and inspect the track, and replace the rollers and sill gaskets as a set. If the track itself is deeply scored or the frame is compromised, we will tell you and price a replacement. Call (888) 445-6077 for an exact assessment.
Yes. This is one of the things that makes us useful in Boulder City. A PGT window leak that has been running for years often damages the stucco, the flashing, or the framing around the opening. We replace the window, re-flash and seal the frame against the stucco, and handle the minor roof or soffit repair in the same scope. That way you are not juggling a window crew and our General Contractor in Boulder City. Call (888) 445-6077 and we will look at the whole opening, not just the glass.
