AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI service across Delray Beach, from Kings Point and Rainberry Bay to the Historic District near Old School Square. What sets our CGI work apart here is simple: we know how Atlantic salt spray, vacant summers, and the city’s older concrete block housing stock wear on specific CGI frame profiles. If you own CGI windows or doors in Delray Beach and they’re sticking, hazy, or failing to lock, call (754) 238-2201. Dale Kessler and our crew at TruePane Windows & Doors have been setting and repairing impact-rated openings in Palm Beach County for going on three decades. We are an independent CGI service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we diagnose the actual problem rather than steer you toward a full replacement when a repair will hold. CGI sales & service is part of our core work here.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve pulled enough failed CGI frames out of Delray Beach’s coastal 55-plus communities to know which hurricane impact series hold up to salt spray and which need annual hardware attention, and we offer CGI repair in Boca Raton too. The Estate Series sliding door rollers seize when beach quartz sand packs into the channels. The anodized aluminum glazing beads on fixed Estate Series windows pit east of Federal Highway and wick moisture into the glass unit. We carry the shop-level diagnostic experience to repair or replace CGI windows and doors without leaning on distributor hand-holding, and that matters when a snowbird returns in October to a door that will not budge. Dale Kessler trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program learning to read a rough opening the way a doctor reads an X-ray, slowly and without guessing. He still measures every job himself. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. We are not the cheapest bid in Delray Beach, but we are the last call you’ll need to make on that window or door.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
Here are five failure patterns we see repeatedly in Delray Beach, tied directly to local conditions.
- Sliding door rollers seized with beach sand. CGI Estate Series sliding glass doors in Kings Point and Rainberry Bay condos fail when owners sweep sand regularly and the fine quartz grit works into the roller channels. The panel drags, then the frame racks. We core-drill corroded screws, rebuild the channel with marine-grade stainless rollers, and reset the panel so the multi-point lock engages cleanly.
- Pitted glazing beads causing fogged glass. East of Federal Highway, salt spray pits the anodized aluminum exterior glazing beads on CGI Estate Series fixed windows. Once the bead fails, moisture gets into the insulated glass unit and the window fogs permanently. When the IGU itself is gone, we replace the full sash, not just the seal.
- Roll-screen inserts jammed with mold and salt crystals. Snowbird homes vacant May through October trap humidity inside, and the CGI roll-screen inserts on those units come back jammed with salt and mold fusing the mesh to the track. The fix requires mechanical cleaning of the channel and proper lubrication, not just yanking the screen.
- Entry door bottom rail delamination. CGI Classic Series entry doors on Delray Beach’s concrete block ranches delaminate at the bottom sweep where irrigation overspray and rainy-season saturation keep the door edge wet. The bottom rail compresses and the lock strike drops out of alignment. We repair what can be repaired and replace the slab only when the rail is beyond saving.
- Multi-point lock keepers out of alignment. On both Estate and Classic Series CGI doors, years of thermal movement and occasional hurricane-force wind pressure shift the keeper plates. The lock grinds or refuses to engage. We order genuine CGI keepers from the factory because the extrusion profiles and hidden lock routings are not interchangeable with aftermarket hardware.
CGI Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach’s Historic District near Old School Square quietly decides which impact windows are even legal to install, and most homeowners find out only after the permit is denied. The city’s Historic Preservation Board requires impact windows on pre-1950 homes to replicate original lite patterns and frame dimensions exactly. A standard CGI impact insert with a 2-3/16-inch frame depth gets rejected as incompatible with historic character, even when it meets Florida Building Code wind loads. To close that sale legally, a contractor has to source a narrow-profile CGI Estate Series aluminum frame and custom-mill exterior trim to match the original wood casing. We do that work. Most shops won’t touch a Historic District job because the pre-permit meeting with the Historic Preservation Planner alone costs half a day. We’ve done enough of them on NW and NE streets around Old School Square to know what passes and what gets sent back. That knowledge is not available on any manufacturer spec sheet. It lives in our shop, and we pass it on to Delray Beach homeowners at the estimate stage so nobody pays for a window the city will not approve.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service and install CGI Estate Series impact windows, Estate Series sliding glass doors, Classic Series single-hung and side-lite entry doors, and full-view fixed picture windows with simulated divided lites, with CGI service in Deerfield Beach also available. For structural parts like glazing beads, keepers, and multi-point lock hardware, we order genuine CGI components directly from the factory. The extrusion profiles and hidden lock routings on CGI frames are not interchangeable with aftermarket parts, and we won’t pretend otherwise. For non-structural items like rollers, hinges, and weatherstripping, we use marine-grade stainless aftermarket equivalents that resist Delray Beach’s salt corrosion better than the original zinc-coated pieces. When the insulated glass unit itself is fogged, we replace the entire sash. We do not do half-measure seal repairs on CGI frames because they do not hold. We stock common CGI replacement rollers, keepers, and weatherstripping locally for faster Delray Beach turnaround, and anything we don’t stock, we order before the truck leaves your driveway.
CGI Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Most CGI service calls in Delray Beach fall into predictable ranges, and we also provide CGI in Greenacres. Sliding door roller replacement on an Estate Series door typically runs $250 to $450 per panel. A multi-point lock realignment or keeper replacement runs $180 to $320. Full sash replacement for a fogged Estate Series picture window runs $600 to $1,100 per unit depending on glass size and lite pattern. Historic District window replacements with custom-milled trim run higher because of the pre-permit meeting and millwork, usually $1,800 to $3,400 per opening. Your estimate includes a written line-item breakdown, both warranty layers registered in writing before we leave, and the Done Right Promise. No change orders, no surprise line items after the work starts. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on your specific CGI unit.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Your door sticks when you return in October because beach quartz sand and humidity worked into the roller channels while the condo sat vacant through hurricane season. The sand compacts into the track, the rollers bind, and the panel drags. We fix it by core-drilling any corroded fasteners, rebuilding the channel with marine-grade stainless rollers, and lubricating the track properly. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll get your door closing right again, often in a single visit.
Approval depends on the frame profile and lite pattern, not just the glass. A standard CGI impact insert with a deeper frame profile is rejected as incompatible with historic character. We source narrow-profile CGI Estate Series aluminum frames and custom-mill exterior trim to match your original wood casing, and we handle the pre-permit meeting with Delray Beach’s Historic Preservation Planner. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate before you order anything.
No. Palm Beach County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load minimums but is not a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so CGI impact windows installed in Delray Beach do not require Miami-Dade NOA approval. Contractors crossing county lines get this wrong regularly. We will confirm your product’s product approval numbers against current Florida Building Code for your exact wind-load zone before we order anything.
Usually yes. The bottom rail compresses when irrigation overspray and rainy-season saturation keep the door edge wet, which drops the lock strike out of alignment. If the rail has not delaminated past the point of structural integrity, we repair the sweep, realign the strike, and seal the bottom edge. If the rail is gone, we replace the slab. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free assessment. You’ll get an honest answer on repair versus replacement.
That haze is seal failure starting on the east-facing side of your home, where morning sun and direct Atlantic moisture exposure stress the glazing bead. The bead wicks moisture into the insulated glass unit and the fog follows. Once the IGU is fogged, the fix is full sash replacement, not a seal repair. We use genuine CGI glazing beads on the new sash and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote.
