AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows & doors service across Hollywood, from full-frame impact replacements in Hollywood Hills to slider rebuilds in the condos along A1A, and we also handle CGI in North Miami Beach. The thing that sets our CGI work apart here is simple: every job has to stand up to Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and we’ve been navigating that specific burden for years. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated, but we know these products cold. If your CGI windows or doors need a second opinion or a repair that will actually hold, call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI builds a serious impact product, but a window is only as good as the opening it sits in. We’ve spent years pulling failed CGI units out of Hollywood homes and seeing exactly where they break, and that’s knowledge you can’t get from a brochure. Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall and trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening the way a doctor reads an X-ray, slowly and without guessing. His rule still hangs over every job: measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.
We back that with the same thing we’ve offered since 2008. The Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree and not a call center. You call, a person picks up.
Our CGI sales & service work covers the full Hollywood footprint, from the central grid between I-95 and Federal Highway out to the Intracoastal corridor. You can read more about our coverage at our Hollywood service area page.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Aluminum frame corrosion at the sill and meeting rail. Within about a mile of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal, salt air eats aluminum faster than most people realize. We regularly find CGI frames in Hollywood that are structurally compromised even when the glass is completely intact. That’s not a pressure-wash fix; that’s a frame integrity question.
- Roller and track failure in CGI sliding glass doors. The 1970s-era condos along Hollywood’s A1A corridor have oversized sliders that catch sand, salt, and humidity in the bottom tracks. The result is binding, grinding, or worst case, a door that lifts off its track. We rebuild commercial-grade roller assemblies with OEM hardware so the door actually glides again.
- Compromised weatherstripping and gaskets. UV and salt spray do a number on CGI gaskets, especially on fixed and casement windows facing east. When wind-mitigation re-inspections fail, this is often the culprit. We replace gaskets and weatherstripping with correct OEM profiles, not generic foam that shrinks in a season.
- Fogged impact laminated glass units. CGI windows installed in the 1990s on Hollywood’s older CBS homes sometimes predate today’s insulated glass technology. When the laminate fogs between panes, the glass unit needs replacement. We source correct CGI impact glass with the NOA documentation to match.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversions. Half of Hollywood’s original housing stock still carries jalousie louvered windows. They leak air, they leak water, and they fail every wind mitigation report. We convert these to CGI impact units, full-frame, with the NOA paperwork and city permit handled end to end.
CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something most homeowners don’t know until they get the letter. Hollywood sits entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door replacement in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s not true for contractors working twenty miles north in Palm Beach County, and it changes everything about how a CGI job gets done here compared to Fort Lauderdale CGI service. Your CGI unit might be perfectly good, but if the original install from 1998 didn’t pull a permit or the NOA number isn’t on file, your insurance company can flag it and threaten non-renewal. We see this every month in Hollywood Hills and the neighborhoods around Young Circle, where original jalousie windows and non-impact sliders from the 1960s are still holding air. When Citizens Insurance sends a 30-day non-renewal letter, the work stops being optional. That’s the market we work in, and we do the NOA documentation, the engineering, and the city paperwork as part of the job. Not as an add-on.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the four main CGI product families you find across Hollywood homes and condos: the Sentinel Series, the Estate Series, the Targa Series, and the Classic Series. Each one uses slightly different hardware geometry and glass packages, and mixing aftermarket parts between them is how you end up with a window that binds in July and leaks in August. We prioritize OEM CGI parts and glass to preserve NOA compliance and wind-load integrity, especially on impact glazing, hardware, and weatherstripping. We stock a working inventory of common CGI rollers, gaskets, and hardware locally so Hollywood jobs don’t wait on a warehouse in North Florida, and we carry CGI repair in Miami Gardens as well. When a frame is structurally compromised or a jalousie-to-impact conversion is required, we don’t patch it. We quote full-frame replacement with CGI impact units and handle the HVHZ permit path.
CGI Service Pricing in Hollywood
What does CGI service cost in Hollywood? Most repairs land between $150 and $850 depending on the part and the opening. Full-frame impact replacements run higher, generally $800 to $2,400 per opening for standard sizes in CBS construction, with larger sliders and custom work above that. The things that drive cost here: whether we’re repairing or replacing, whether the opening needs reframing, and whether the home sits within a mile of salt water. Coastal Hollywood frames often need marine-grade hardware, which costs more than standard. Every estimate is free, in writing, and line-itemed before any work starts. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Because Hollywood is entirely inside Broward’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires all window and door replacements to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s the product certification proving the unit meets impact and pressure standards. We pull the NOA documentation for every CGI unit we install and include it with the permit paperwork.
Rarely, and not correctly. Most original jalousie openings in Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s CBS homes were framed with undersized headers that don’t meet current HVHZ loads. We reframe the opening to full impact specifications, then set the CGI unit. That’s the honest answer, and it’s why our quotes include the structural work up front. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free assessment of your openings.
Yes, if it’s installed with the NOA documentation on file and the permit closed. CGI Sentinel Series windows are a recognized impact product widely accepted by Florida carriers, including Citizens Insurance. We register both warranty layers in writing and hand you the paperwork your wind mitigation inspector needs. If you’re facing a non-renewal deadline, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll get moving on it.
Hollywood’s geography is narrow, and salt air travels further than most people think. Homes within roughly a mile of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal get constant salt spray, especially on east-facing walls. The fix is marine-grade or thermally broken aluminum with PVD-coated hardware, which is what we specify for coastal Hollywood replacements. Standard hardware corrodes again in a few years.
Usually yes, if the frame and track are still sound. Roller replacement on a CGI slider costs a fraction of full door replacement and restores normal operation immediately. We’ll tell you straight if the frame is too far gone to repair, and we won’t quote a rebuild that won’t hold. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll look at the door before recommending anything.
