Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying financial statements to conform with current year classifications.
	Fiscal period
	Our fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday nearest December 31 of the related year. The periods ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, consisted of 52 weeks.
	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements present the results of the operations, financial position and cash flows of PGTI and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Segment information
	We operate as one operating segment, the manufacture and sale of windows and doors.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting estimates involved in applying our accounting policies are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and those for which different estimates reasonably could have been used for the current period. Critical accounting estimates are also those which could have a material impact on the presentation of PGTI’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
	Revenue recognition
	We recognize sales when all of the following criteria have been met: a valid customer order with a fixed price has been received; the product has been delivered and accepted by the customer; and collectability is reasonably assured. All sales recognized are net of allowances for discounts and estimated credits, which are estimated using historical experience. We record provisions against gross revenues for estimated credits in the period when the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on factors that include, but are not limited to, analysis of credit memorandum activity.
	Cost of sales
	Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production of our products. Primary costs include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses primarily include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance, engineering and property taxes.
	Cost of sales was impacted negatively by $4.1 million by consolidation and restructuring charges recorded for the year ending December 31, 2011, related to plant consolidation.
	Shipping and handling costs
	Shipping and handling costs incurred in the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales. Costs relating to shipping and handling of our finished products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and total $10.6 million, $9.0 million, and $11.6 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	Advertising
	We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	Research and development costs
	We expense research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs included in cost of sales were $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand or highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.
	Accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
	We extend credit to qualified dealers and distributors, generally on a non-collateralized basis. Accounts receivable and notes receivable are recorded at their gross receivable amount, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that results in the receivable being recorded at its net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectable in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectable accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectable accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful.

	Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(513	)		(516	)
		$	20,821		$	13,997
	As of December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, there were $0.6 million, $0.2 million, and $0.9 million of trade notes receivable, respectively, for which there was an allowance of $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, included in other current assets and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Self-insurance reserves
	We are primarily self-insured for employee health benefits and for years prior to 2010 for workers’ compensation claims. Our workers’ compensation reserves are accrued based on third-party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities. Health benefits are self-insured by us up to pre-determined stop loss limits. These reserves, including incurred but not reported claims, are based on internal computations. These computations consider our historical claims experience, independent statistics, and trends. Changes to actual workers’ compensation or health benefit claims incurred and interest rates could have a material impact on our estimated self-insurance reserves. For 2013, 2012, and 2011 we are fully insured with respect to workers’ compensation.
	Warranty expense
	We have warranty obligations with respect to most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods, which vary by product components, generally range from 1 to 10 years, although the warranty period for a limited number of specifically identified components in certain applications is a lifetime. However, the majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The reserve for warranties is based on management’s assessment of the cost per service call, the lag time between order ship dates and warranty service dates, and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on recorded net sales. The reserve is determined after assessing Company history and through specific identification. Expected future obligations are discounted to a current value using a risk-free rate for obligations with similar maturities. The following provides information with respect to our warranty accrual.
	During the year, we recorded warranty expense at an average rate of 1.30% of sales. This rate is lower than the average rate of 1.81% of sales accrued in fiscal year 2012, due to improved quality and lower costs of service claims experienced in the recent past few years. We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly, and yearly basis, and adjust the previous amounts recorded, if necessary, to reflect the change in estimate of the future costs of claims yet to be serviced.

		(in thousands)
	Year ended December 28, 2013	$	3,858		$	2,992		$	(419	)	$	(3,765	)	$	2,666
	Year ended December 29, 2012	$	4,406		$	3,157		$	(512	)	$	(3,193	)	$	3,858
	Year ended December 31, 2011	$	4,326		$	3,346		$	188		$	(3,454	)	$	4,406
	The accrual for warranty is included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012. The portion of warranty expense related to the issuance of product is $1.6 million, $0.7 million, and $1.1 million and is included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The portion related to servicing warranty claims including costs of the service department personnel is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations, and is $2.2 million, $2.3 million, and $2.5 million, respectively, for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011.
	Inventories
	Inventories consist principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products. We have limited finished goods inventory as all products are custom, made-to-order products. Finished goods inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The reserve for obsolescence is based on management’s assessment of the amount of inventory that may become obsolete in the future and is determined through company history, specific identification and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions.
	Inventories consist of the following:
		December 28,			December 29,
		2013			2012
		(in thousands)
	Raw materials	$	11,305		$	10,477
	Work in progress		329			256
	Finished goods		1,274			796
	Total Inventories	$	12,908		$	11,529
	Property, plant and equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciable assets are assigned estimated lives as follows:
	Building and improvements		5 to 40 years
	Furniture and equipment		3 to 10 years
	Vehicles		5 to 10 years
	Computer Software		3 years
Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
Long-lived assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is no longer recorded.
In January 2011, as part of the North Carolina consolidation, we reviewed the fair value of the Salisbury property based on an appraisal of the value of the property which we consider, Level 2 inputs, and the value of furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment for impairment. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the property and an impairment charge of $0.9 million to write-off the value of certain personal property that was abandoned. Also, in 2011, we sold the Lexington, North Carolina facility and the selling price less the closing costs resulted in an additional impairment of less than $0.1 million.
In the second quarter of 2012, we entered into an agreement to list the Salisbury, North Carolina facility for sale with an agent, at which time the asset was moved to assets held for sale in the accompanying balance sheet. We closed on the sale of the property in the first quarter of 2013. In that the purchase price less closing costs was in excess of the current carrying cost, no change to the carrying cost was necessary.
Computer software
We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Capitalized costs include:
(i) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining computer software,
(ii) payroll and other related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the software project, and
(iii) interest costs incurred, when material, while developing internal-use software.
Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.
Capitalized software as of December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, was $13.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation of capitalized software was $12.9 million and $12.1 million as of December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.
Depreciation expense for capitalized software was $0.8 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
We review the carrying value of capitalized software and development costs for impairment in accordance with our policy pertaining to the impairment of long-lived assets.
Other intangibles
Other intangible assets consist of trade names, customer-related and intellectual intangible assets. The useful lives of trade names were determined to be indefinite and, therefore, these assets are not being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years. Intellectual intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. The impairment evaluation of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair value.
If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is generally determined on the basis of discounted future projected cost savings attributable to ownership of the intangible assets with indefinite lives which, for us, are our trade names. (See Note 5)
The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with past performance and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in our current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions.
The determination of fair value used in that assessment is highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate fair value. Estimated cash flows are sensitive to changes in the Florida housing market and changes in the economy among other things.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instrument to which they relate. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $2.1 million and $1.9 million at December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.
On May 28, 2013, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the various financial institutions and other persons from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent, as swing line lender and as a letter of credit issuer, and the other agents and parties thereto. The Credit Agreement establishes new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $105.0 million, consisting of an $80.0 million Tranche A term loan facility maturing in five years that will amortize on a basis of 5% annually during the five-year term, and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in five years that includes a $5.0 million swing line facility and a $10.0 million letter of credit facility. (See Note 7)
As part of the new debt agreement, we incurred $3.6 million in total issue costs. Of the total costs, $2.0 million was capitalized as debt discount, $1.3 million was included in our deferred financing costs, and $0.3 million was expensed in selling, general, and administrative expenses. As we incurred the new debt, we reviewed the amount of unamortized deferred financing costs from the previous debt. Of the remaining unamortized balance, we expensed in other expense, net $0.3 million, and the remaining amount of the unamortized balance will continue to be amortized over the term of the new debt.
Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was $1.0 million of amortization for the year ended December 28, 2013, $0.9 million for the year ended December 29, 2012, and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Estimated amortization of deferred financing costs is as follows for future fiscal years:

Derivative financial instruments
We utilize certain derivative instruments, from time to time, including forward contracts and interest rate swaps and caps to manage variability in cash flow associated with commodity market price risk exposure in the aluminum market and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Additional information with regard to derivative instruments is contained in Note 8.
We account for derivative instruments in accordance with the guidance under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification which requires us to recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship based on its effectiveness in hedging against the exposure and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.
Our forward contracts are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). The Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification provides that the effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and be reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on these derivative instruments, if any, is recognized in other income/expense in current earnings during the period of change.
On occasion, cash flow hedges may no longer qualify to be designated as hedging instruments; at that time future changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. When a cash flow hedge is terminated, if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of December 28, 2013, we did not have cash on deposit with our commodities broker related to funding of margin calls on open forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum. The net liability position of $479 thousand on December 28, 2013, is included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as it relates to open contracts with scheduled prompt dates in 2014 and 2015.
For statement of cash flows presentation, we present net cash receipts from and payments to the margin account as investing activities.
On September 16, 2013, we entered into two interest rate caps and one interest rate swap. The first is a one year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. The second is a two year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. The swap is a forward starting forty two months interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that effectively converted a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.15% that starts September 28, 2014, with a termination date of May 18, 2018. At December 28, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate caps was in an asset position of $34 thousand and our interest rate swap was a liability position of $0.6 million. (See Note 8)
Financial instruments
Our financial instruments, not including derivative financial instruments discussed in Note 9, include cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable whose carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Our financial instruments also include long-term debt. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $77.3 million as of December 28, 2013, and approximately $37.5 million as of December 29, 2012, both of which approximate carrying value as of those dates.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are due primarily from companies in the construction industry located in Florida and the eastern half of the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally collateral is not required.
We maintain our cash with several financial institutions. The balance exceeds federally insured limits. At December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, such balance exceeded the insured limit by $29.7 million and $18.7 million, respectively.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Gains and losses on cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Reclassification adjustments reflecting such gains and losses are recorded as income in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Additional information with regard to accounting policies associated with derivative instruments is contained in Note 8.
Stock compensation
We use a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and, therefore, record compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. Our Company’s awards vest based only on service conditions and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of an award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and we have applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We recorded compensation expense for stock based awards of $1.0 million before tax, or $0.01 per diluted share after-tax effect, $1.4 million before income tax, or $0.02 per diluted share after-tax effect, and $1.8 million before income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share after-tax effect, in the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Income and other taxes
We account for income taxes utilizing the liability method. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect consequences on future years of differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws applicable to the periods in which differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. We have no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. However, should we accrue for such liabilities, when and if they arise in the future, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.
Sales taxes collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis.
Net income (loss) per common share
We present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. We follow the “two class” method of accounting for earnings per share due to the fact that our unvested restricted stock awards, which are immaterial as of December 28, 2013, are participating securities.
Our weighted average shares outstanding excludes underlying options of 0.5 million and 5.5 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive.
The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, including a reconciliation of weighted average common shares:

	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Subsequently, in February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-1, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These updates amended the guidance related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, including recognized financial instruments and derivatives. We have adopted the guidance effective on December 29, 2012, and have provided the required information in Note 8.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance amends the requirements of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The goal behind the amendments is to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. It does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. We have adopted the guidance effective December 29, 2012, and have provided the required information in Note 16.

During the fourth quarter we accepted an offer to sell the property and the sale closed in the first quarter of 2013. The purchase price less closing costs is in excess of the current carrying costs. The facility’s carrying value was $5.3 million as of December 29, 2012. On January 23, 2013, the sale closed for approximately $8.0 million in cash (approximately $7.5 million net of selling costs), and as such we recognized a gain of $2.2 million related to the sale in 2013.

	Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset
	The impairment evaluation of the carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Although a qualitative assessment is permitted, we will continue to perform a quantitative test given recent fluctuations in the markets we serve. This test is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the intangible assets, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the relief from royalty method that is based upon the discounted projected cost savings (value) attributable to ownership of our trade names, our only indefinite lived intangible assets. We categorize these trade names as being valued using Level 3 inputs.
	Given the decline in housing starts in 2011, the overall tightening of the credit markets, and our revised forecasts in 2011, all of which are impairment indicators, we performed the assessment of our trade names and an impairment was present. The assessment resulted in an impairment charge of $6.0 million for 2011. After this charge, intangible assets not subject to amortization totaled $38.4 million at December 31, 2011. No additional impairment has been recorded through year end December 28, 2013.
	In estimating fair value, the method we use requires us to make assumptions, the most material of which are net sales projections attributable to products sold with these trade names, the anticipated royalty rate we would pay if the trade names were not owned (as a percent of net sales), and a weighted average discount rate. These assumptions are subject to change based on changes in the markets in which these products are sold, which impact our projections of future net sales and the assumed royalty rate. Factors affecting the weighted average discount rate include assumed debt to equity ratios, risk-free interest rates and equity returns, each for market participants in our industry.
	Our year-end test of trade names performed as of December 28, 2013, utilized net sales, which reflected the current market conditions and include modest growth in future years, a weighted average royalty rate of 4.0% and a discount rate of 16.1%. As of December 28, 2013, the estimated fair value of the trade names exceeded book value by approximately 79%, or $30.3 million. We believe our projected sales are reasonable based on available information regarding our industry. We also believe the royalty rate is appropriate and could improve over time based on market trends and information, including that which is set forth above. The discount rate was based on current financial market trends and will remain dependent on such trends in the future.
	Amortizable Intangible Assets
	As a result of the impairment indicators in 2011 described above, we tested our amortizable intangible assets, which are our customer relationships and Hurricane intellectual assets, for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group containing these assets to their carrying values and determined that there was no impairment for the year ended December 31, 2011. No impairment testing was performed during the years ended December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators.
	Estimated amortization of our customer relationships assets is as follows for future fiscal year:

	On May 28, 2013, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the various financial institutions and other persons from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent, as swing line lender and as a letter of credit issuer, and the other agents and parties thereto. The Credit Agreement establishes new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $105.0 million, consisting of an $80.0 million Tranche A term loan facility maturing in five years that will amortize on a basis of 5% annually during the five-year term, and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in five years that includes a $5.0 million swing line facility and a $10.0 million letter of credit facility.
	Interest on all loans under the Credit Agreement is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any LIBOR interest period applicable thereto. Borrowings under the term loans and the revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to, at our option, a base rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on our leverage ratio, ranging from 300 to 350 basis points in the case of LIBOR and 200 to 250 basis points in the case of the base rate. We will pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.50% as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit. In connection with this refinancing, we wrote-off $0.3 million of deferred financing costs from the Old Credit Agreement, which are classified within other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	On September 16, 2013, we entered into two interest rate caps and one interest rate swap to hedge a portion of our debt against volatility in future interest rates. (See Note 8)
	The Credit Agreement will require us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (based on the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (based on the ratio of consolidated EBITDA minus net cash taxes minus capital expenditures to cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments of term loans, each as defined in the Credit Agreement), which will be tested quarterly based on the last four fiscal quarters and is set at levels as described in the Credit Agreement. As of December 28, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
	The Credit Agreement also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions and investments, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, dividends and other payments in respect of our capital stock, prepayments of certain debt and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
	In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, on May 28, 2013, we terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2011, among PGT Industries, Inc., as the borrower, the Company, as guarantor, the lenders from time to time party thereto and General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Old Credit Agreement”). Proceeds from the term loan facility under the Credit Agreement were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Agreement, repurchase shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of approximately $50 million, and pay certain fees and expenses.
	All borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement bore interest, at our option, at either: (a) a “base rate” equal to the highest of: (i) 0.50% per year above the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System, (ii) the annual rate of interest in effect for that day as publicly announced as the “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month “eurodollar rate” (not to be less than 1.25%) or (b) a “eurodollar base rate” equal to the higher of (i) 1.25% and (ii) (adjusted for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs for eurodollar liabilities) the rate at which eurodollar deposits in dollars for the relevant interest period (which will be one, two, three or six months or, subject to availability, nine or twelve months, as selected by us) are offered in the interbank eurodollar market plus, in each case, a rate dependent on the ratio of our funded debt as compared to our adjusted consolidated EBITDA, ranging from 3.5% to 2.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “base rate” and from 4.5% to 3.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “eurodollar rate” (such rate added to the “eurodollar rate,” the “Eurodollar Margin”).
	On August 5, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated May 28, 2013. The Amendment permits us to make capital expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount up to but not exceeding $14.0 million in connection with the expansion and operation of our glass processing business and activities without reducing the amount of capital expenditures otherwise permitted.
	The face value of the debt as of December 28, 2013, was $79.0 million. The Company incurred issuance costs of $3.6 million, of which $2.0 million of the costs were classified as a discount and presented in the current and long-term portion of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Approximately $1.3 million was reported as debt issuance costs in current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the remaining $0.3 million was expensed in selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The debt issuance costs and discount are being amortized to interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt.
	In connection with the cash proceeds from the sale of our Salisbury facility on January 23, 2013, we voluntarily prepaid $7.5 million of debt on January 31, 2013.

	Aluminum Forward Contracts
	We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. Our contracts are initially designated as cash flow hedges since they are believed to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum.
	Guidance under the Financial Instruments topic of the Codification requires us to record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings. We assess our risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of our financial instruments in a liability position by evaluating our credit ratings, our current liquidity including cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility as compared to the maturities of the financial liabilities. In addition, we entered into a master netting arrangement (MNA) with our commodities broker that provides for, among other things, the close-out netting of exchange-traded transactions in the event of the insolvency of either party to the MNA.
	We net cash collateral from payments of margin calls on deposit with our commodities broker against the liability position of open contracts for the purchase of aluminum on a first-in, first-out basis. For statement of cash flows presentation, we present net cash receipts from and payments to the margin account as investing activities.
	We maintain a $2.0 million line of credit with our commodities broker to cover the liability position of open contracts for the purchase of aluminum in the event that the price of aluminum falls. Should the price of aluminum fall to a level which causes our liability for open aluminum contracts to exceed $2.0 million, we are required to fund daily margin calls to cover the excess.
	As of December 28, 2013, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net liability position of approximately $479 thousand. We had 33 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 9.5 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $0.89 per pound with maturity dates of between less than one month and 18 months through June 2015. We assessed our risk of non-performance of the Company on these contracts and recorded an immaterial adjustment to fair value as of December 28, 2013.
	As of December 29, 2012, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net asset position of approximately $20 thousand. We had 24 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 3.9 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $0.94 per pound with maturity dates of between less than one month and 12 months through December 2013. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the counter-party on these contracts and recorded an immaterial adjustment to fair value as of December 29, 2012.
	Interest Rate Contracts
	On September 16, 2013, we entered into two interest rate caps and one interest rate swap. The first is a one year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. The second is a two year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. Effectiveness for the interest rate caps will be measured by comparing the changes in the intrinsic value of the cap with the change in the fair value of the forecasted interest payments due to changes in the LIBOR interest rate when LIBOR is greater than 0.5%. The intrinsic value portion of the interest rate caps are expected to be highly effective due to the critical terms of the cap exactly matching those of the hedge debt. The time value portion of the caps are deemed ineffective and will be marked to market in the reporting period.
	The swap is a forward starting three year six months interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that effectively converted a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.15% that starts September 28, 2014, with a termination date of May 18, 2018. Since all of the critical terms of the swap and cap exactly matched those of the hedged debt, no ineffectiveness was identified in the hedging relationship. Consequently, all changes in fair value are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Hedge effectiveness for the interest rate swap will be evaluated in accordance with ASC 815 on a quarterly basis by comparing changes in the cumulative gain or loss from the forward-starting interest rate swap with the cumulative changes in the discounted expected cash flows of future monthly interest related to changes of the swap rate.
	The fair value of our aluminum hedges and interest rate cap are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):
				December 28,				December 29,
				2013				2012

	Interest rate swap	Other Liabilities			(630	)			—
	Total hedging instruments			$	(1,075	)		$	20
	Although it is our intent to have our aluminum hedges qualify as highly effective for reporting purposes, for the year ended December 29, 2012, they did not qualify as effective. Effectiveness of aluminum forward contracts is determined by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our aluminum forward contracts is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. During the third and fourth quarter of 2012, these contracts became ineffective and no longer qualified for hedge accounting. When a cashflow hedge becomes ineffective, and if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in value of the aluminum forward contracts occurring after termination is recognized in other expense (income), net on the consolidated statements of operations.
	The ending accumulated balance for the aluminum forward contracts and interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive expense, net of tax, is $0.7 million as of December 28, 2013. In December 29, 2012, the ending accumulated balance for the aluminum forward contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, was $0.1 million.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value	'
	9. Fair Value
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
	Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
	The accounting guidance concerning fair value allows us to elect to measure financial instruments at fair value and report the changes in fair value through earnings. This election can only be made at certain specified dates and is irrevocable once made. We do not have a policy regarding specific assets or liabilities to elect to measure at fair value, but rather we make the election on an instrument-by-instrument basis as they are acquired or incurred.
	During fiscal 2013, we did not make any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets. Furthermore, during fiscal 2012 and 2011, we did not have any Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity, and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.
	Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The following assets and liabilities are measured in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in the table below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuation:
		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date of Net Asset (Liabilities) Using:

	The following is a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the basis for classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.
	Aluminum forward contracts identical to those held by us trade on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). The LME provides a transparent forum and is the world’s largest center for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals. The prices are used by the metals industry worldwide as the basis for contracts for the movement of physical material throughout the production cycle. Based on this high degree of volume and liquidity in the LME, we believe the valuation price at any measurement date for contracts with identical terms as to prompt date, trade date and trade price as those we hold at any time represents a contract’s exit price to be used for purposes of determining fair value.
	Interest rate cap and swap contracts identical to that held by us are sold by financial institutions. The valuation price at any measurement date for a contract with identical terms, exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, and notional quantities, as the one we hold, is used for determining the fair value.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value at December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively (in thousands):

	The following provides a description of the methods and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	Cash and cash equivalents — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their highly liquid or short-term nature.
	Accounts receivable, net — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
	Debt — The estimated fair value of this debt is based on Level 2 inputs of debt with similar terms and characteristics.

	Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets		(55.1	%)		(39.1	%)		(26.7	%)
			(14.4	%)		1.2	%		12.1	%
	Our effective combined federal and state tax rate was (14.4%), 1.2% and 12.1%, for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	Our income tax benefit was $3.4 million for the year ended December 28, 2013. As we released our valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, we released our valuation allowance as we are no longer in a cumulative loss position and it is more likely than not, that our deferred tax assets will be realized.
	Our tax rate is lower than the statutory rate for 2012, as we released a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance to offset our regular tax expense. The $0.1 million of tax expense included in the consolidated statements of operations represents our alternative minimum tax obligation offset with the state tax impact for a change in our state tax rate.
	The 12.1% tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011, relates to the deferred tax impact on the impairment charge related to our trade names. Deferred tax liabilities related to our trade names are not available to be used to offset deferred tax assets when estimating the valuation allowance. All deferred tax assets created in 2011 were fully reserved with additional valuation allowances. Excluding the effects of these items, our 2013, 2012, and 2011 effective tax rates would have been 40.7%, 40.3% and 38.8%, respectively.
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our net deferred tax liability are as follows:

	Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, net		(13,380	)		(14,858	)
Total deferred tax liabilities, net	$	(10,617	)	$	(14,904	)
We estimate that we have $4.4 million of tax affected federal net operating loss carryforwards and $1.5 million of state operating loss carryforwards, expiring at various dates through 2031.
We have not recognized any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits; however, should we accrue for such liabilities when and if they arise in the future we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

	2006 Plan
	On June 5, 2006, we adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) whereby equity-based awards may be granted by the Board to eligible non-employee directors, selected officers and other employees, advisors and consultants of ours.
	On April 6, 2010, our stockholders approved the PGT, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan”).
	Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
		•		total number of shares of common stock available for grant thereunder, 7,000,000, and
		•		set forth 1,500,000 as the maximum number of shares that may be made subject to awards in any calendar year to any “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code).
	There were 541,863, 472,035, and 1,092,310 shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan at December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	New Issuances
	During 2013, we issued 22,581 shares of restricted stock awards to certain board members and non-executive employees of the Company. The restrictions on these awards lapse at various time periods through 2016 and have a weighted average fair value on date of grant of $6.76 based on the NASDAQ market price of the common stock on the close of business on the day the awards were granted.
	During 2012, we issued 673,390 options to certain directors, executives and non-executive employees of the Company. These options vest at various time periods through 2017 and have a weighted average exercise price of $2.42 based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on the day the options were granted.
	During 2011, we issued 35,000 options to certain non-executive employees of the Company. These options vest at various time periods through 2016 and have a weighted average exercise price of $2.21 based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on the day the options were granted.
	The compensation cost that was charged against income for stock compensation plans was $1.0 million, $1.4 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We recognized $0.4 million in income tax benefits for share-based compensation in the year ended December 28, 2013. There was no income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, as a result of the valuation allowance on deferred taxes. We currently expect to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.
	The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants under the 2006 Plan in the following years:
	2013: no options granted.
	2012: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 70.38%, risk-free interest rate 0.8 %, and expected life of 5 years.
	2011: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 70.74%, risk-free interest rate of 2.2%, and expected life of 5 years.
	The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience. The expected volatility is based on the Company’s common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on U.S. Treasury yield for instruments with a maturity equal to the life of the option in effect at the time of grant.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

'

Basis of Presentation

'

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

Reclassifications

'

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying financial statements to conform with current year classifications.

Fiscal Period

'

Fiscal period

Our fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday nearest December 31 of the related year. The periods ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, consisted of 52 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

'

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the operations, financial position and cash flows of PGTI and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Information

'

Segment information

We operate as one operating segment, the manufacture and sale of windows and doors.

Use of Estimates

'

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting estimates involved in applying our accounting policies are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and those for which different estimates reasonably could have been used for the current period. Critical accounting estimates are also those which could have a material impact on the presentation of PGTI’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

'

Revenue recognition

We recognize sales when all of the following criteria have been met: a valid customer order with a fixed price has been received; the product has been delivered and accepted by the customer; and collectability is reasonably assured. All sales recognized are net of allowances for discounts and estimated credits, which are estimated using historical experience. We record provisions against gross revenues for estimated credits in the period when the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on factors that include, but are not limited to, analysis of credit memorandum activity.

Cost of Sales

'

Cost of sales

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production of our products. Primary costs include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses primarily include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance, engineering and property taxes.

Cost of sales was impacted negatively by $4.1 million by consolidation and restructuring charges recorded for the year ending December 31, 2011, related to plant consolidation.

Shipping and Handling Costs

'

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred in the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales. Costs relating to shipping and handling of our finished products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and total $10.6 million, $9.0 million, and $11.6 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Advertising

'

Advertising

We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

'

Research and development costs

We expense research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs included in cost of sales were $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

'

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand or highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

'

Accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

We extend credit to qualified dealers and distributors, generally on a non-collateralized basis. Accounts receivable and notes receivable are recorded at their gross receivable amount, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that results in the receivable being recorded at its net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectable in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectable accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectable accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful.

Self-Insurance Reserves

'

Self-insurance reserves

We are primarily self-insured for employee health benefits and for years prior to 2010 for workers’ compensation claims. Our workers’ compensation reserves are accrued based on third-party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities. Health benefits are self-insured by us up to pre-determined stop loss limits. These reserves, including incurred but not reported claims, are based on internal computations. These computations consider our historical claims experience, independent statistics, and trends. Changes to actual workers’ compensation or health benefit claims incurred and interest rates could have a material impact on our estimated self-insurance reserves. For 2013, 2012, and 2011 we are fully insured with respect to workers’ compensation.

Warranty Expense

'

Warranty expense

We have warranty obligations with respect to most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods, which vary by product components, generally range from 1 to 10 years, although the warranty period for a limited number of specifically identified components in certain applications is a lifetime. However, the majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The reserve for warranties is based on management’s assessment of the cost per service call, the lag time between order ship dates and warranty service dates, and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on recorded net sales. The reserve is determined after assessing Company history and through specific identification. Expected future obligations are discounted to a current value using a risk-free rate for obligations with similar maturities. The following provides information with respect to our warranty accrual.

During the year, we recorded warranty expense at an average rate of 1.30% of sales. This rate is lower than the average rate of 1.81% of sales accrued in fiscal year 2012, due to improved quality and lower costs of service claims experienced in the recent past few years. We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly, and yearly basis, and adjust the previous amounts recorded, if necessary, to reflect the change in estimate of the future costs of claims yet to be serviced.

Inventories

'

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products. We have limited finished goods inventory as all products are custom, made-to-order products. Finished goods inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The reserve for obsolescence is based on management’s assessment of the amount of inventory that may become obsolete in the future and is determined through company history, specific identification and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions.

Property, Plant and Equipment

'

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciable assets are assigned estimated lives as follows:

Building and improvements

5 to 40 years

Furniture and equipment

3 to 10 years

Vehicles

5 to 10 years

Computer Software

3 years

Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

'

Long-lived assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is no longer recorded.

In January 2011, as part of the North Carolina consolidation, we reviewed the fair value of the Salisbury property based on an appraisal of the value of the property which we consider, Level 2 inputs, and the value of furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment for impairment. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the property and an impairment charge of $0.9 million to write-off the value of certain personal property that was abandoned. Also, in 2011, we sold the Lexington, North Carolina facility and the selling price less the closing costs resulted in an additional impairment of less than $0.1 million.

In the second quarter of 2012, we entered into an agreement to list the Salisbury, North Carolina facility for sale with an agent, at which time the asset was moved to assets held for sale in the accompanying balance sheet. We closed on the sale of the property in the first quarter of 2013. In that the purchase price less closing costs was in excess of the current carrying cost, no change to the carrying cost was necessary.

Computer Software

'

Computer software

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Capitalized costs include:

(i) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining computer software,

(ii) payroll and other related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the software project, and

(iii) interest costs incurred, when material, while developing internal-use software.

Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.

Capitalized software as of December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, was $13.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation of capitalized software was $12.9 million and $12.1 million as of December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Depreciation expense for capitalized software was $0.8 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

We review the carrying value of capitalized software and development costs for impairment in accordance with our policy pertaining to the impairment of long-lived assets.

Other Intangibles

'

Other intangibles

Other intangible assets consist of trade names, customer-related and intellectual intangible assets. The useful lives of trade names were determined to be indefinite and, therefore, these assets are not being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years. Intellectual intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. The impairment evaluation of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair value.

If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is generally determined on the basis of discounted future projected cost savings attributable to ownership of the intangible assets with indefinite lives which, for us, are our trade names. (See Note 5)

The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with past performance and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in our current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions.

The determination of fair value used in that assessment is highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate fair value. Estimated cash flows are sensitive to changes in the Florida housing market and changes in the economy among other things.

Deferred Financing Costs

'

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instrument to which they relate. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $2.1 million and $1.9 million at December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.

On May 28, 2013, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the various financial institutions and other persons from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent, as swing line lender and as a letter of credit issuer, and the other agents and parties thereto. The Credit Agreement establishes new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $105.0 million, consisting of an $80.0 million Tranche A term loan facility maturing in five years that will amortize on a basis of 5% annually during the five-year term, and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in five years that includes a $5.0 million swing line facility and a $10.0 million letter of credit facility. (See Note 7)

As part of the new debt agreement, we incurred $3.6 million in total issue costs. Of the total costs, $2.0 million was capitalized as debt discount, $1.3 million was included in our deferred financing costs, and $0.3 million was expensed in selling, general, and administrative expenses. As we incurred the new debt, we reviewed the amount of unamortized deferred financing costs from the previous debt. Of the remaining unamortized balance, we expensed in other expense, net $0.3 million, and the remaining amount of the unamortized balance will continue to be amortized over the term of the new debt.

Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was $1.0 million of amortization for the year ended December 28, 2013, $0.9 million for the year ended December 29, 2012, and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Estimated amortization of deferred financing costs is as follows for future fiscal years:

Derivative Financial Instruments

'

Derivative financial instruments

We utilize certain derivative instruments, from time to time, including forward contracts and interest rate swaps and caps to manage variability in cash flow associated with commodity market price risk exposure in the aluminum market and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Additional information with regard to derivative instruments is contained in Note 8.

We account for derivative instruments in accordance with the guidance under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification which requires us to recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship based on its effectiveness in hedging against the exposure and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

Our forward contracts are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). The Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification provides that the effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and be reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on these derivative instruments, if any, is recognized in other income/expense in current earnings during the period of change.

On occasion, cash flow hedges may no longer qualify to be designated as hedging instruments; at that time future changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. When a cash flow hedge is terminated, if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of December 28, 2013, we did not have cash on deposit with our commodities broker related to funding of margin calls on open forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum. The net liability position of $479 thousand on December 28, 2013, is included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as it relates to open contracts with scheduled prompt dates in 2014 and 2015.

For statement of cash flows presentation, we present net cash receipts from and payments to the margin account as investing activities.

On September 16, 2013, we entered into two interest rate caps and one interest rate swap. The first is a one year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. The second is a two year interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge that protects the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating one month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. The swap is a forward starting forty two months interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $40.0 million that effectively converted a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.15% that starts September 28, 2014, with a termination date of May 18, 2018. At December 28, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate caps was in an asset position of $34 thousand and our interest rate swap was a liability position of $0.6 million. (See Note 8)

Financial Instruments

'

Financial instruments

Our financial instruments, not including derivative financial instruments discussed in Note 9, include cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable whose carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Our financial instruments also include long-term debt. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $77.3 million as of December 28, 2013, and approximately $37.5 million as of December 29, 2012, both of which approximate carrying value as of those dates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

'

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are due primarily from companies in the construction industry located in Florida and the eastern half of the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally collateral is not required.

We maintain our cash with several financial institutions. The balance exceeds federally insured limits. At December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, such balance exceeded the insured limit by $29.7 million and $18.7 million, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

'

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Gains and losses on cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Reclassification adjustments reflecting such gains and losses are recorded as income in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Additional information with regard to accounting policies associated with derivative instruments is contained in Note 8.

Stock Compensation

'

Stock compensation

We use a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and, therefore, record compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. Our Company’s awards vest based only on service conditions and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of an award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and we have applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We recorded compensation expense for stock based awards of $1.0 million before tax, or $0.01 per diluted share after-tax effect, $1.4 million before income tax, or $0.02 per diluted share after-tax effect, and $1.8 million before income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share after-tax effect, in the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Income and Other Taxes

'

Income and other taxes

We account for income taxes utilizing the liability method. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect consequences on future years of differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws applicable to the periods in which differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. We have no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. However, should we accrue for such liabilities, when and if they arise in the future, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

Sales taxes collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

'

Net income (loss) per common share

We present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. We follow the “two class” method of accounting for earnings per share due to the fact that our unvested restricted stock awards, which are immaterial as of December 28, 2013, are participating securities.

Our weighted average shares outstanding excludes underlying options of 0.5 million and 5.5 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive.

The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, including a reconciliation of weighted average common shares:

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

'

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Subsequently, in February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-1, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These updates amended the guidance related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, including recognized financial instruments and derivatives. We have adopted the guidance effective on December 29, 2012, and have provided the required information in Note 8.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

'

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance amends the requirements of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The goal behind the amendments is to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. It does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. We have adopted the guidance effective December 29, 2012, and have provided the required information in Note 16.
