AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service and repair CGI windows and doors across Palm Beach, from the Estate Section to the condominiums along South Ocean Boulevard, and we also handle Cgi in North Palm Beach. We’re an independent service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so our only loyalty is to the homeowner and the building. The work we do here is shaped by one fact most installers miss: Palm Beach salt air attacks CGI hardware from two directions at once, and doing the job right means accounting for that. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Over CGI sales & service work has taught us that most service calls fail at the diagnosis stage. A tech who has never worked a barrier island blames the hinge, replaces it, and is back in three years when the next one seizes. Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall, spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail, and he still measures every opening himself. Our crews work the way he trained them: read the whole frame, understand what the salt is doing, then fix it so it holds. Homeowners in Palm Beach who are tired of nursing CGI units that corrode faster than they should call us because we actually explain what failed and why, in plain language.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach
- Salt-corroded hinge pins on Estate Series casements. The Estate Section sits a few hundred yards from the Atlantic with the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other side. We regularly see opening sashes sag and seize within five years of exposure here. We replace the pins, re-bed the hinge with marine-grade grease, and reset the sash so it closes square.
- Delaminated impact laminated glass on Targa Series fixed units. South Ocean Boulevard gets a dual-ocean salt haze that accelerates edge-seal failure. Fogging at the corners is not always a manufacturing defect; it’s often edge-seal breakdown from constant chloride exposure. We evaluate each unit honestly and tell you when a sealed unit replacement makes more sense than chasing it with repairs.
- Roller bearing seizure on Harbor Series sliding doors. Homes along the Intracoastal side, near the Lake Worth Lagoon, get a different kind of corrosion: fine salt spray that works into the track and bearings. We disassemble, clean, and replace bearings with marine-grade stainless so the door glides with one hand again.
- Damaged weatherstripping on Classic Series double-hungs. Wind-driven salt spray abrades the sill weatherstripping until the weep channels clog and the frame starts pitting invisibly under the seal. We pull the old seal, inspect for hidden corrosion, and replace with materials rated for Palm Beach’s exposure.
- ARCOM-triggered retrofit problems. On a contributing Mizner-era property, a standard CGI replacement that changes the sightline gets rejected by the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission. We’ve walked enough of these through to know what passes and what sends you back to the drawing board.
CGI Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Every property, not just oceanfront lots, gets salt air from both sides simultaneously. That’s a corrosion load most neighboring oceanfront communities never see. Standard aluminum frames, stainless fasteners, and weatherstripping rated fine for a mainland subdivision will degrade noticeably faster here. For a CGI owner, that means hinge pins on the north elevation by the Intracoastal may start seizing two or three years before the same part would fail on a similar house getting West Palm Beach Cgi service. We stock marine-grade 316 stainless hardware for CGI repairs because that’s what Palm Beach demands. And when a unit is an architectural contributor, the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission adds another layer: the replacement must match the original profile and material, while still meeting county impact-glass and wind-load codes. That’s a dual-compliance burden most window companies won’t touch, but it’s the job we do every week.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach
We work on the full CGI residential line: Estate Series casements and fixed units, Targa Series impact windows, Classic Series double-hungs, and Harbor Series sliding doors. For structural parts like hinge arms, multipoint lock gearboxes, and impact-glazing panel clips, we use OEM CGI hardware. If an ARCOM-approved restoration calls for custom bronze fabrication, we machine equivalent 316-marine stainless or bronze parts in-house. For sealed units and weatherseals, we prefer aftermarket marine-grade materials built for Palm Beach’s dual-waterfront exposure. We’ll tell you plainly when a repair will extend a unit’s life ten years or more, and when replacement is the smarter use of your money.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
No, not if it changes the exterior sightline. The Architectural Commission requires matching frame depth and muntin profile, which usually means custom-fabricated impact-laminated glass retrofitted into historically faithful steel or bronze profiles, not a standard CGI unit. We prepare the ARCOM packet with wind-load calculations and physical samples to give you the best shot at approval. Call (754) 238-2201 if you’re facing this and want to know your options.
Yes. We replace the hinge pins, clean the existing hinge casings, and re-bed everything with marine-grade lubricant, then reset the sash so it closes square. That usually extends the unit’s life several years, often longer, for far less than a full replacement. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free inspection.
The glass package and frame are the same, but the hardware and weatherseals need to be marine-grade. The dual-salt environment on Palm Beach means standard fasteners and hinges corrode and seize faster, and weatherstripping abrades from wind-driven salt spray. We specify 316 stainless and marine-grade seals on every waterfront job here.
Fogging at the edges is usually edge-seal failure from salt-air chloride exposure, not a manufacturing defect. It’s common on oceanfront Targa Series units after several years. We evaluate each unit and tell you whether a sealed unit replacement will solve it permanently. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases. The Town of Palm Beach enforces its own architectural and building permit requirements on top of the county’s. We pull both permits and coordinate the inspections so you don’t have to chase them down.
