AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Atlantis, FL, from glass replacement to full-frame impact retrofits. The one thing that separates our CGI work here from everywhere else we serve is simple: Atlantis runs its own building department, and that changes the timeline, the scope, and the order of every job. If you’re dealing with a failed CGI unit, cracked louver, or a fogged seal, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll start with a straight answer about what your home actually needs.
Why Atlantis Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI products are built for South Florida conditions, but they still break, leak, and wear like anything else that faces salt air and afternoon thunderstorms for twenty years. Our technicians work on CGI’s Sculptor Series, Sentinel line, and Estate Collection every week, so we know what fails, why it fails, and whether a repair will hold or just buy you a year. That judgment comes from time on the ladder, not from a product catalog.
Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in Kendall when that part of Miami-Dade was still nurseries and canal roads. He spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail before he ever picked up a paycheck. That’s the standard he holds us to on every CGI job in Atlantis: measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they quote the work on paper with both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves your driveway.
We are an independent CGI service provider. We’re not affiliated with CGI, not authorized by CGI, and we don’t get paid to push product. That means when we say a frame is worth saving, we mean it. And when we say replacement costs less over five years than repeated repairs, we’ll show you the math.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Atlantis
- Shattered laminated glass from wind-blown debris. Even impact-rated CGI units can lose glass in a serious blow. The interlayer holds the pane together, but the lite still needs replacement. In Atlantis, where the city sits squarely in the wind-borne debris region, we see this most often on east-facing elevations after summer squalls.
- Fading, chalking, and brittleness in powder-coated aluminum frames. Salt-laden humidity at this inland-coastal distance does real work on finish coatings. Atlantis homes three to four miles from the Atlantic get less direct spray than beachfront properties, but the persistent moisture accelerates oxidation on older CGI frames that have lost their clear coat.
- Misaligned rollers on CGI Estate sliding glass doors. Decades of settled framing in Atlantis’s 1960s to 1980s homes means door tracks drift out of square. The rollers bind, the door drags, and eventually the lock stops engaging. We re-square and replace the roller assemblies rather than forcing a door that was never set right in the first place.
- Failed interlocking seals on CGI casement windows. Jalousie-to-CGI retrofits are common in this city, and the transition point between old rough openings and new casement frames is where water finds its way in. We replace the seal, check the reveal, and make sure the weep system is doing its job.
- Delaminated or fogged insulated glass units. A failed seal on a double-pane CGI IGU shows up as condensation between the panes. It’s not just cosmetic. The argon fill is gone and the energy performance is gone with it. We source genuine CGI replacement glass when available and swap the IGU without disturbing the frame.
CGI Service in Atlantis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Atlantis is one of the few municipalities in Palm Beach County that runs its own building department and permit review for window and door replacements. Neighboring cities route through the county, where plan review for a CGI retrofit moves at a predictable pace. Not here. A CGI job that takes two weeks to get through permitting in Lake Worth can stretch to four weeks in Atlantis solely because of the city’s in-house plan check backlog. That matters before anyone touches a single frame, because an installer who doesn’t know better will order glass, strip openings, and then sit waiting on a permit that hasn’t been reviewed yet.
We pre-pull city permits before any CGI frame is ordered. It’s the difference between a job that starts on schedule and a job where you’re living with boarded openings for a month. Our crew just finished a lanai overlooking the Atlantis Country Club’s 7th fairway where the homeowners wanted new glass clips for their jalousies. Each louver frame was corroded beyond repair and could never meet current impact code. We framed out the openings, installed two CGI Sculptor casement windows with a fixed picture unit, and pulled the Atlantis city permit ourselves. Final inspection passed on the first visit.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Atlantis
We service the CGI product lines most commonly found in Atlantis homes: the Sculptor Series impact windows, the Sentinel hurricane window line, the Estate Collection, and Estate Sliding Glass Doors. For glass replacement, weatherstripping, and rollers, we use genuine CGI parts whenever they’re available. On older CGI lines where non-structural hardware is no longer manufactured, we’ll recommend a premium aftermarket part that meets Miami-Dade County standards, and we’ll tell you exactly why. If a CGI frame is over 20 years old or the glass is delaminating, we’re upfront: full replacement usually costs less than repeated repairs over the next decade.
CGI Service Pricing in Atlantis
CGI service in Atlantis depends on what failed and whether the frame is worth keeping. A single shattered lite replacement on a Sculptor window runs roughly $350 to $750. Roller assembly rebuilds on an Estate sliding door typically land between $180 and $400 per door panel, depending on track condition and whether the frame needs re-squaring. Failed seal replacement on a casement IGU generally costs $400 to $900 per unit, and full-frame retrofit work starts around $1,200 per opening and rises with size, structural condition, and Atlantis’s permit requirements.
Every estimate is written line-item on paper, free of charge, and we don’t revise the number mid-job because something “turned out different.” We measure every opening twice, pull the permit before ordering anything, and register both warranty layers before we leave.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis
If your windows carry a CGI label with a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number, they’re impact-rated. If they’re original aluminum single-pane or jalousie units from the 1960s through 1980s, they are not impact-rated and cannot be retrofitted to meet current code. Atlantis falls within the wind-borne debris region, so replacement under current Florida Building Code is a legal requirement for any new work. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll check your labels and tell you exactly what you have.
No. Atlantis operates its own building department with its own plan review process, which is slower and more detailed than the county process used by most nearby municipalities. This can add two to four weeks to a CGI replacement timeline. We pull city permits before ordering any frame so the wait doesn’t catch anyone mid-job.
Almost never. Impact-rated products require frames engineered to carry the additional weight and meet structural load requirements. A 1980s aluminum frame is neither. Retrofitting a CGI lite into an old frame would void the manufacturer’s warranty and fail inspection. Full-frame replacement is the only code-compliant path.
Plan on four to six weeks from measurement to installation, with roughly half that time taken by Atlantis’s municipal permit review. We order CGI product only after the city issues the permit, which avoids the worst delays. Call (754) 238-2201 for a realistic timeline on your specific scope.
Jalousie units cannot be converted to impact. The louvered design cannot hold an impact-rated glazing system, and the frames are typically aluminum with nothing structural enough to carry a CGI product. The openings must be fully framed out and rebuilt to accept a code-compliant CGI window. That’s a larger scope and a bigger permit, which is why nearly every Atlantis jalousie estimate starts with a framing conversation.
