AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Davie, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Davie Window Installation and doors service across Davie, from single-hung sash rebuilds in Shenandoah to full impact slider replacements in Forest Ridge. What makes our CGI work different here is that we know Davie’s housing stock and its code triggers, which means we diagnose the real problem the first time. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on any CGI repair or replacement.
We’re not the manufacturer and we don’t pretend to be. We work on every major CGI product line as an independent service provider, and we’ve been doing it in Davie long enough to know which failures show up on which streets. If you own a CGI window or door that is binding, leaking, or simply tired after years of Florida sun, we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs a part or a full replacement.
Why Davie Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall back when it was mostly nurseries and canal roads, and he spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail before he ever collected a paycheck. He 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. That is the standard we bring to every CGI service call in Davie.
We stock OEM CGI replacement cartridges, rollers, and weatherstripping for the Classic and Estate lines right on the truck, because we know Davie homeowners do not want to wait a week for a part to ship from the factory. Most common fixes happen in a single visit. When a unit is beyond saving, we do not push a patch job. We quote an honest replacement with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, because that’s what the building department in Davie requires and what your insurer expects to see.
The founding rule in our shop is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We apply that to a twenty-minute roller swap and a two-day impact replacement the same way.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Davie
- Sticking single-hung sashes on 1980s ranch homes. CGI Classic Series single-hungs in Davie’s older subdivisions develop sash cam wear, especially on streets near unpaved equestrian lanes where dust works into the channel. The window will not tilt in for cleaning, and forcing it breaks the cam. We replace the worn cartridge and set the tilt correctly, which takes about an hour per window.
- Gray streaks and chalky powder on west-facing fixed panels. Estate Series fixed panels on the west walls of Davie houses take the full inland Broward sun every afternoon. After eight to ten years, the glazing beads show UV crazing and the powder coat chalks around the frame corners. It looks worse than it is, but it is a clue the seals are aging too. We inspect the structural glazing and tell you straight whether the panel is cosmetic or compromised.
- Impact sliders that drag or jump on canal-front lots. Sentinel Series impact sliders on Davie canal-front homes sit in tracks that collect grass clippings and oak pollen from the big lots. The roller bearings flat-spot, and the panel starts to drag or jump off the rail. We clean the track bed properly, replace the rollers with OEM parts, and set the panel height so it moves the way it did new.
- Pitted hinges and corroded locking points on casement windows. Targa Series casements in older Davie CBS homes fight high humidity and occasional hurricane-driven rain splash, even ten miles inland. The hinges pit, the locks corrode, and the window will not seal tight at the corner. We replace the hardware and re-shim the sash so the locking point engages square.
- Water wicking under thresholds after heavy rain. Davie’s low-lying topography and canal drainage mean some lots hold water longer than they should. When a slider threshold was not flashed with backer rod and butyl tape on the original install, water finds its way under the frame every wet season. We remove the old threshold, seal the opening correctly, and reset the door so the weep system does its job.
CGI Service in Davie: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the thing most people do not know until they own a window in this town: Davie sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door replacement, no exceptions, must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. That’s the toughest product certification in the country. It is not a suggestion and it is not waived for older homes. Paired with Davie’s large inventory of pre-1992 ranch homes still wearing original single-pane aluminum frames, the code creates a replacement cycle that does not exist in non-HVHZ counties like Palm Beach to the north.
For CGI owners, this matters in two ways. First, your original CGI units were engineered for this wind load, so parts and service need to respect that engineering. Second, if your home still has non-CGI openings from the 1970s and 1980s, those windows are not compliant with current HVHZ standards, and that becomes obvious during a sale or an insurance inspection. We have walked enough Davie properties with insurance agents to know exactly what gets flagged. CGI impact-rated replacements, with the NOA on file, clear the most common objections without argument.
Field Note from Forest Ridge
In the Forest Ridge neighborhood off Shotgun Road, our crew pulled a pair of original single-pane aluminum sliders from a ranch home and set CGI Estate Series impact sliders in their place as part of a Davie Door Installation. The original aluminum track had corroded so badly the rollers had carved grooves into it, and the panels could not be moved. The old threshold had been wicking water every time it rained. After the swap, we sealed the new frames with a full perimeter of butyl tape and backer rod before the trim went on. That is the kind of detail you cannot see after the fact, but it is the difference between a door that lasts fifteen years and one that rots the subfloor in five.
Dale Kessler on the Rule That Names the Company
Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back. Dale Kessler has kept that rule on the whiteboard behind the shop desk since TruePane opened, and it is the first thing our techs hear when they start. On a CGI install in Davie, that means checking the rough opening for square before the first shim goes in, and measuring every opening twice before we order a single frame. Around here, where the sun and the wind do not give you second chances, the rule is not a slogan. It is the difference between a window that passes inspection the first time and one that gets red-tagged.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Davie
We work on the full residential lineup: the CGI Sentinel Series, the Estate Collection, the Classic Series, and the Targa Series. That covers impact sliders, single-hungs, casements, fixed panels, and picture windows. For the Classic and Estate lines, we carry OEM rollers, balance cartridges, weatherstripping, and locking hardware in our Davie service inventory so most repairs do not wait on a factory order. For Sentinel and Targa hardware, we source direct from CGI suppliers and schedule around the part arrival so you are never left with a window that will not close.
When a part is obsolete or the original frame has already been racked by a storm, we will not sell you a new sash and call it fixed. We quote an honest full replacement with the current NOA, because a patched structural failure is not a repair, it is a delay. Visit our CGI sales & service page for more on the lines we carry and service.
CGI Service Pricing in Davie
Repair pricing in Davie runs on the nature of the fix, not the size of the house. A single Classic Series sash rebuild runs $180 to $340 depending on the hardware. A pair of Estate Series slider rollers typically falls between $220 and $360 with the track clean and panel reset. Full hardware replacement on a Targa casement is usually $250 to $450. Full impact replacements are priced per opening after we measure, and the quote is written line by line so you see exactly what you are paying for.
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| CGI Classic Series sash rebuild | $180 - $340 |
| CGI Estate Series slider rollers (per panel pair) | $220 - $360 |

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Davie
Yes. Davie is in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every window and door replacement, without exception, must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. CGI’s impact-rated lines carry the NOA, and we include the current documentation with every install. The building department checks it, your insurer checks it, and we file it before the truck leaves the driveway because our Keystone Standard requires both warranty layers registered in writing.
It depends on the condition of the rough opening, the frame, and the buck. We have installed CGI inserts into solid openings that measured square and showed no rot or racking. But on homes where the original frame was installed with no flashing and decades of water have softened the buck, a full frame replacement is the only honest path. We will measure every opening and tell you which ones can take an insert and which ones need the frame pulled.
That is the glazing bead and frame coating breaking down under years of intense inland Broward sun. The gray streaks and chalky corners are UV degradation of the powder coat, and while it often looks like the glass is failing, it is usually the finish. The deeper concern is the seal behind the glazing bead, which is also UV-sensitive. We inspect the unit and tell you whether it is cosmetic or whether the structural seal has started to go. If the seal is compromised, replacement is the safe call. Call (754) 238-2201 for an inspection and a straight answer.
Yes, and we see it every month. Davie building records are available during a sale, and a window replacement with no permit on file becomes a point of contention for buyers, insurers, and mortgage underwriters. We pull the permit on every install, we schedule the inspection, and we make sure it passes the first time. That is not a courtesy. It is the difference between a clean closing and a deal that stalls over a window. The cost of a re-permit and the hassle of a failed inspection costs more than doing it right from the start.
Almost always, yes, if the opening connects to the primary structure or a permitted accessory building. Davie is one of the few Broward cities where horses are legally kept on residential lots, and those oversized barn doors and outbuilding openings are rarely wind-rated. Insurance inspectors flag them, and property sales stall over them. We routinely convert those openings to CGI impact-rated sliding or hinged doors with proper NOAs so the property clears inspection. Most metro contractors miss this niche entirely, which is why we get called after the first inspection fails.
