Why Eatonville Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 after spending his younger years watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail and then learning to read rough openings at Miami Dade College’s vocational program the way a doctor reads an X-ray, slowly and without guessing. That’s the standard we bring to every CGI job in Eatonville. We know these extruded aluminum frames. We know how the Estate Series casement drains water, how the Classic Series single-hung track wears against an un-squared wood sill, and where the Sentinel Series hinge cartridges start to bind once Central Florida grit gets into the gear teeth.

What matters more in Eatonville specifically is this: we understand the houses. Most of the town’s homes are wood-frame, built between the 1940s and 1970s, and many still carry their original window openings. Those openings were not framed for impact-rated CGI units. We measure every opening twice, quote the work on paper side by side with what the manufacturer specifies, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s CGI sales & service done the way it should be, with a written promise behind it.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Eatonville

CGI builds a good product. What fails here is usually what happens when decades of Eatonville humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and deferred maintenance meet a frame that was never quite square to begin with. Here’s what we see most often:

• Fogged glazing on CGI Estate Classic fixed windows. The original bedding butyl dries out after years under unprotected Eatonville attic heat, and the seal goes. No storm needed. You just get interior fogging that never clears.
• Corrosion at bottom miter joints on Estate Series casements. Wind-driven rain pools against the sill when the original weep-path screens were never cleaned after a jalousie-replacement job. The aluminum starts to pit at the corners. We see this on older homes across Eatonville every summer.
• Warped CGI Classic Series single-hung tracks. Original wood sills that were never squared or flashed swell and shift over decades of Eatonville downpours. The track binds. The sash sticks. Homeowners assume the window’s done for and it usually isn’t.
• Stripped or seized operators on CGI awning windows. The aluminum gearbox was never lubricated, and fine airborne grit from paved roads chewed the teeth. The crank just spins or locks up solid.
• Jalousie-era openings that were never made for impact frames. This is the big one. The opening is too narrow, too shallow, or out of square by half an inch or more, and someone has to make the CGI unit sit true anyway. We do it correctly, with custom brickmould and non-stock jamb extensions, not shims stacked until they crack.

CGI Service in Eatonville: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Eatonville is the only municipality in Orange County founded by and long governed by Black Floridians, and its oldest homes, many of them original family-owned structures from the 1940s and 1950s, still carry the original jalousie windows in the same double-hung openings that were sized for single-pane glass, not for modern impact-rated CGI frames. Because of that, our Eatonville jobs require more custom exterior brickmould and non-stock jamb extensions than any other city we serve on the west side of Orange County. A homeowner who assumes an Estate Series impact window will drop into their 1954 ranch the way it shows on the CGI cut sheet is going to be surprised. The frame is deeper. The mounting flange needs different flashing. The interior casing has to be re-cut. We prepare for that before we start because we’ve done it, and measured it, hundreds of times here in Eatonville.

There’s a second layer to this. Eatonville sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so homeowners sometimes think they don’t need Florida Product Approval ratings. They do. Every replacement window or door in Orange County has to meet the design wind speed for this area. Older Eatonville owners are often unaware of that requirement until an inspector mentions it. We handle it for you, and the paperwork gets registered before we finish the job.

CGI Models & Products We Service in Eatonville

We service all four current CGI product families: the Estate Series, Estate Classic Series, Sentinel Series, and Classic Series. That includes fixed windows, casements, single-hungs, awnings, sliding glass doors, and French door configurations. Our parts approach is straightforward: we source genuine CGI replacement parts such as operators, hinges, roller assemblies, weep-hole screens, and interlock strips because aftermarket hardware rarely matches the brand’s tolerances or anodized finish. For obsolete 1990s CGI glass packs, we use Florida Product Approved laminated glass from trusted laminators rather than forcing a full frame replacement. The rule is simple. If the frame is square and the flange intact, we rebuild it. If the sill is rotted or the header gone, we replace the whole unit.
