PGT Construction in Highland, CA | Hampton Contractors
We’re Hampton Contractors, an independent contractor that installs and services PGT windows and doors across Highland. We’re not authorized or sponsored by PGT, but we’ve built enough WinGuard and Estate units in the Inland Empire to know their glazing, hardware, and frame systems cold. What makes our PGT work different in Highland is this: we re-detail the rough opening and weather-resistive barrier on every replacement, because the mid-century stucco homes here were never framed for impact glazing, and foothill ember-resistance inspectors will catch a shortcut. Call (833) 467-4075 for a free estimate.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Brent Calloway, our owner, has been working construction in the High Desert since he was eighteen. He learned framing loads and finish carpentry at Victor Valley College, and he’s spent the past two-plus decades applying that on real job sites across the region. When it comes to PGT products, we’ve handled enough WinGuard Aluminum, WinGuard Vinyl, Estate Collection, and Premier Series units to know exactly where they fail and what a correct repair or replacement looks like in Highland’s climate — and we’ve applied that same expertise to PGT repair in Muscoy as well.
We carry OEM PGT replacement glass, rollers, weatherstrip, and hardware for in-production lines, and we source quality aftermarket equivalents only when a line is discontinued. We’ll tell you straight whether a delaminated unit is worth re-glazing or whether a full replacement is the smarter spend. That’s the conversation most Highland homeowners actually need, not a sales pitch.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
- Hazy or delaminated impact glass on south- and west-facing elevations. Highland’s inland sun is relentless, and Santa Ana heat cycling stresses the laminated interlayer on WinGuard glass. After enough years, the edge starts to haze. We inspect the unit, determine if the seal and interlayer have failed, and either re-glaze or replace based on what’s actually cost-effective for the home’s remaining lifespan.
- Cracked miter seals on aluminum-frame WinGuard units. Highland swings from hot summer afternoons to cool nights, which makes aluminum frames expand and contract hard. Factory sealant at the mitered corners eventually cracks, and wind-driven rain gets past the frame. We re-seal the perimeter and address any wall-cavity moisture that’s already found its way in.
- Sliding-door rollers grinding from Santa Ana grit. PGT vinyl sliders collect fine blown-in grit during wind events, and that grit grinds the rollers and tracks down. Panels start to drag, then fail to latch tight. That latch matters here, because an ember-resistance inspection will flag a slider that doesn’t seat fully. We replace rollers and tracks and adjust the panel so it closes square.
- Degraded screens and weatherstrip on older Premier Series windows. We see this a lot on original mid-century installs where the flashing and WRB detailing predates current standards. The weatherstrip cracks in the dry heat, screens tear, and hardware finishes pit. We rebuild what’s salvageable and replace what isn’t, then re-flash the opening correctly.
- Leaking original single-pane sliders that were never flashed properly. Highland’s older tract homes were framed and stuccoed long before impact glazing existed. When we pull those originals, we almost always find the rough opening has no effective water-resistive barrier. That’s a re-detailing job, not a simple swap.
PGT Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains in a high-fire-severity zone. That’s not a background detail. It drives the entire construction conversation here. Original wood-shake roofs and unvented attics in foothill-adjacent neighborhoods routinely fail ember-resistance inspections and must be upgraded before any addition or reroof permit passes. The same logic applies to windows and doors. Because Highland’s mid-century tract homes were framed and stuccoed long before impact-glazing and current flashing standards, most PGT replacements require re-detailing the rough opening and weather-resistive barrier behind the old stucco. A simple window swap skips that step, and an ember-resistance walk-through will catch it. We saw this play out on a 1960s ranch house off Baseline in the 92346 tract, where we pulled leaking original single-pane aluminum sliders and installed PGT WinGuard units with full rough-opening re-detailing — similar to the work we do for PGT in Redlands.Guard vinyl impact sliders, re-flashing the openings and rebuilding the stucco returns as we went. The old south-facing slider had a cracked miter seal that had been letting wind-driven rain into the wall cavity. Our re-sealed, properly flashed install closed that gap and passed the owner’s ember-resistance inspection without a call-back. Good work doesn’t need a disclaimer.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Highland
We service and install the full PGT residential lineup: WinGuard Aluminum impact windows, WinGuard Vinyl impact windows and sliding doors, Estate Collection aluminum windows and doors, and Premier Series vinyl single-hung and sliding windows. For in-production lines, we order OEM PGT replacement glass, rollers, weatherstrip, and hardware, which keeps warranty and performance characteristics intact. For discontinued lines, we source quality aftermarket equivalents and tell you exactly what we’re installing and why. We stock the common roller sets, weatherstrip profiles, and sealants locally so most Highland repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment, and we carry the same inventory for PGT service in Loma Linda. When a unit needs full replacement, we measure, order, and install with the code-correct flashing detail the foothill inspectors here expect.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Highland
Yes, but only if the entire opening is detailed correctly. Impact glazing is one piece of a wildfire-resistant envelope. The rough opening behind the old stucco also needs the right flashing and weather-resistive barrier, or an ember-resistance inspection will flag the install even if the glass itself is compliant. We handle both in the same job. Call (833) 467-4075 to have your existing openings assessed.
In Highland, the usual culprit is fine grit blown in during Santa Ana wind events. It grinds into the rollers and track, the panel drags, and eventually the latch won’t seat tight. We replace the rollers, clean or replace the track, and adjust the panel so it closes square and latches fully. A door that won’t latch is an ember-resistance liability, so it’s worth addressing quickly. Call (833) 467-4075 for a service visit.
Edge haze on laminated impact glass usually means the interlayer has begun to delaminate from the glass at the seal. Intense inland sun and Santa Ana heat cycling accelerate this on south- and west-facing elevations. Once delamination starts, it won’t self-correct. Some units are worth re-glazing; others are better replaced. We’ll inspect and give you an honest recommendation. Call (833) 467-4075 to schedule an assessment.
Not always. If the roof is functionally sound, we can install new PGT windows and doors independently. But if your Highland home still has an original wood-shake roof or an unvented attic that fails ember-resistance requirements, the city may require the roof upgrade before passing a broader permit. We’ll tell you what’s required on your specific property when we walk it. Call (833) 467-4075 and we’ll sort out the right sequence.
Most single-opening replacements take a day, including re-flashing and stucco return repairs. A full-home replacement with multiple openings and rough-opening re-detailing typically runs three to five working days, depending on access and how much of the original stucco needs rebuilding. We schedule around weather and material lead times. Call (833) 467-4075 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your job.
