PGT Construction in Bloomington, CA | Stallion Contractors
Stallion Contractors provides independent PGT window and door installation, PGT repair in Fontana, and replacement service across Bloomington, CA. We’re not a PGT dealer and we’re not manufacturer-affiliated, which means our recommendations are based on what your home actually needs, not what pushes a new order through.
What makes our PGT work different in Bloomington comes down to one thing: most of the homes here sit on stucco-over-cinder-block walls built in the 1950s and 60s, and your permits go through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, not a city building department. That changes sequencing, plan check timing, and what gets flagged. We know it. Ruben Montoya grew up in Colton right next door, and we’ve been pulling county permits on unincorporated properties for decades. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on PGT service in Bloomington.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
We’ve installed and serviced PGT windows and doors across the Inland Empire — including PGT service in Rialto — long enough to know how their vinyl profiles, sash balances, and glass packages actually behave under western San Bernardino Valley heat and wind load. Ruben Montoya, our owner, grew up in Colton off Pepper Avenue, where half the houses on his block were built by tradesmen who understood this soil and sun. He picked up his construction foundation at San Bernardino Valley College, on job sites before he ever had a business card. Over two-plus decades in and around Colton and Bloomington, he has built a reputation for structural honesty: no shortcuts on framing, no corners cut on concrete, no material swapped to pad a margin.
Because we’re independent, we can tell a Bloomington homeowner straight whether a PGT unit should be re-glazed, re-balanced, or pulled out entirely instead of steering every call toward a new order. We handle PGT sales & service from diagnosis to install, using OEM parts where the frame is sound and honest guidance where it isn’t.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
- Fogged insulated glass on south- and west-facing walls. SolarMax and standard PGT insulated glass seals fail early here. Summer highs that regularly push past 100°F accelerate desiccant breakdown, so we routinely find silvery haze and fogging between the panes on 10-to-15-year-old units. We re-glaze with OEM SolarMax or WinGuard glass when the frame is still square.
- Heat-bowed vinyl sashes and loose weatherstripping. PGT vinyl frames on sun-baked ranch elevations expand and contract hard. We see sash rails bowing out of square and weatherstripping pulling loose, which shows up as drafts and rattling sliding panels during Santa Ana wind events. Re-balancing and fresh OEM weatherstripping fixes most of these.
- Dust-clogged WinGuard aluminum tracks and weeps. Aluminum WinGuard frames on older Bloomington installs collect Santa Ana dust and smog film in the weep and track channels. Blocked weeps then drive water intrusion and stucco staining at the rough opening. We pull the sashes, clean the channels, and replace compromised glazing beads.
- Pitted impact glass and failed perimeter sealant. Impact-rated laminated glass takes surface etching from wind-blown grit, and aging sealant fails where the original install met 1950s-70s stucco over cinder block. We re-seal with materials matched to the wall assembly, not just whatever caulk is on the truck.
- Non-permitted prior retrofits. Bloomington’s unincorporated status means a lot of older homes have window and door openings that were cut without permits. We sequence as-built discovery and county submittal before we order, so the lead time doesn’t stall the inspection.
PGT Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County, and that fact shapes every PGT window and door project here in a way most contractors never see. Window and door permits run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services rather than a city building department. County plan checkers will flag a replacement scope that changes egress or opening sizes on a 1950s-era stucco-over-cinder-block wall, and they’ll do it at county pace, not city pace. That means if you order PGT units before the plan check clears, you’re paying for product that sits in a warehouse while the county reviews your as-built drawings.
We sequence the county submittal before we order PGT units. On a 1960s single-story stucco ranch off Valley Blvd, we opened a kitchen wall to add a window and found the original PGT slider had been retrofit into a rough opening a prior owner cut without a permit. We pulled the county as-built into the plan check, squared and reframed the opening, set a new WinGuard vinyl slider with fresh flashing and stucco patch, and closed it out with the San Bernardino County inspector on the first pass. That’s the difference between a contractor who knows Bloomington and one who doesn’t.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We service the full PGT lineup you’re likely to find across Bloomington service area homes:
- PGT WinGuard Aluminum Impact Series – impact-rated frames, commonly on 1980s-2000s installs. We handle track cleaning, sash replacement, hardware, and re-glazing.
- PGT WinGuard Vinyl Impact Series – impact-rated vinyl, frequent on newer remodels and additions. We address bowed sashes, binding, and seal failures.
- PGT SolarMax insulated glass units – the glass package that fogs early in this climate. We re-glaze with OEM SolarMax glass where frames are sound.
- PGT Builder/Classic vinyl single-hung and sliding series – the workhorse line on 1950s-70s Bloomington ranch homes. We re-balance, replace weatherstripping, and upgrade screens.
We match OEM PGT sash balances, weatherstripping, screens, glazing beads, and glass where the frame is intact, whether the job is PGT service in Pedley or right here in Bloomington. We go to quality aftermarket hardware only when a PGT part is discontinued. If the frame itself is bowed or the glass is fogged across multiple units, we tell you straight that replacement beats repeated patching.

AfterPGT Service Pricing in Bloomington
What you’ll pay for PGT work in Bloomington depends on scope: a single sash re-balance costs far less than a full impact-rated window package. Here are the ranges for the most common projects we handle:
| Service | Bloomington Price Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 – $45,000 |
Your exact number depends on how many windows, whether you’re going impact-rated or standard, the condition of the rough openings, and whether county plan check requires as-built corrections before we can close the permit. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll come out, look at what you have, and give you a number that holds.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Bloomington
Yes, if you’re changing opening sizes, egress, or the structural conditions around the window. Direct same-size replacements of an existing window typically don’t require a permit, but anything that touches the rough opening does. Because Bloomington is unincorporated, your permits go through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, not a city hall. We handle the submittal and sequencing so your PGT lead time doesn’t stall the inspection. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll tell you whether your specific project needs county sign-off before we quote it.
If the frame is square and the fogging is isolated to one or two units, re-glazing with OEM PGT SolarMax glass is usually the better financial move, typically a fraction of full replacement cost. If multiple windows are fogged and the frames are 15-plus years old with bowed sashes or failing sealant, replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you which direction we’d take on our own house. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free inspection and a straight answer.
Yes. Impact-rated PGT WinGuard units are built specifically for high wind load and wind-borne debris, so they’re the right call for homes that take direct Santa Ana gusts and the dust that comes with them. The laminated glass also holds up better against pitting from wind-blown grit than standard annealed glass. If your home sits on an open lot or a western-facing elevation, impact-rated is worth pricing. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll quote both standard and impact-rated side by side.
Heat expansion. Bloomington summers regularly push past 100°F, and PGT vinyl frames on sun-baked elevations expand and contract hard. Sash rails bow out of square, weatherstripping pulls loose, and you get binding when you slide and rattling when the wind hits. Re-balancing the sash and replacing the OEM weatherstripping usually clears it up. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll diagnose whether it’s an adjustment or a frame that’s gone past saving.
It can, if the sequencing is right. The delay most Bloomington homeowners hit is a county plan check that flags an unpermitted prior opening or an egress change after the window’s already ordered. We pull the as-built, submit to San Bernardino County Land Use Services, and only then order your PGT unit. That way the product lead time and the county review run concurrently instead of back-to-back.
