AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service throughout Edgewood, Florida, for homeowners whose mid-century ranch homes need impact-rated replacements that meet Orange County’s current wind-load code. The work here is different because nearly every opening in an Edgewood ranch predates modern FBC standards, meaning a simple swap rarely stays simple. Our crews handle the full conversion, from jalousie removal to full-frame CGI Estate or Sentinel installation, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Edgewood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve spent years working on the specific housing stock Edgewood was built around. Dale Kessler, our owner, trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program and has been setting impact-rated windows in Florida for going on three decades. He measures every job himself, and the rule on our whiteboard has not changed since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We are an independent CGI sales & service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, and we do not pretend to be. What that means for you is we quote CGI product lines side by side with other impact-rated options on paper, so you see exactly what you’re paying for and whether CGI is the right fit for your opening. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they measure every rough opening twice before an order goes in.
For Edgewood specifically, we keep common CGI replacement components on hand or available within days, not weeks. That matters when a Lake Conway breeze has been working on your weatherstripping for thirty years and you want the door to close right again before hurricane season peaks.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Edgewood
- Rot-damaged wood bucks behind original jalousies. On Edgewood’s jalousie-to-CGI replacements, we regularly find original wood bucks rotted from wicking groundwater under single-wall brick veneer. That forces a full-frame CGI Estate install rather than an insert, because the rough opening no longer has a sound bearing surface.
- White oxide pitting on aluminum CGI frames near Lake Conway. Aluminum CGI frames on Lake Conway-adjacent lots often show white oxide pitting along the screen track, where moisture from warm lake air condenses overnight against the cooler sill. We clean, treat, and replace affected track components before the pitting eats through to the weep system.
- Undersized steel lintels above hollow-core door openings. In 1950s hollow-core door openings upgraded to CGI Targa impact doors, the existing steel lintel is frequently undersized for the heavier unit. Without reinforcement, you see visible frame sag within two years. We address the header before the door goes in.
- Seal failure on west-facing fixed CGI Classic Series picture windows. Fixed CGI Classic Series picture windows on west-facing Edgewood ranch homes develop seal failure along the lower sightline from prolonged afternoon UV bake. Homeowners notice a gray haze between the panes without any impact cracks. The fix is a replacement sash or full unit, depending on the frame condition.
- Worn roller assemblies and sash balances on CGI sliders. The humidity and fine grit in Central Florida air wear plastic roller assemblies faster than coastal owners expect. We replace them with true CGI OEM profiles matched to the production year, so the slider moves like it did when it was set.
CGI Service in Edgewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Edgewood’s entire housing stock sits under Orange County’s 2017 wind-load map revision, and because the city is fully surrounded by Orlando but has no commercial districts of its own, every single-family ranch built before 1975 that pulls a permit for any window or door automatically triggers a whole-opening FBC upgrade review. That condition does not apply to nearby Conway or Pine Castle homes with post-2001 additions. What this means for a CGI owner in Edgewood is that even a single broken window can’t be treated as a like-for-like swap. The opening gets reviewed, and if it fails current wind-load requirements, the repair becomes a full-frame impact-rated replacement with an Orange County permit. We’ve completed that exact conversion on Hoffner Avenue and along the Lake Conway shoreline, reframing rough openings and reflashing to county detail. It is not a paperwork shortcut. It’s the only way the job passes inspection.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Edgewood
We service and install the full CGI residential lineup, including the Estate Collection, Classic Series, Sentinel Series, and Targa Series. For Estate Collection anodized hardware where OEM lead times stretch past four weeks, we source equivalent-grade extruded components rather than make you wait out the season with a door that doesn’t latch right. We will not patch a frame with structural water intrusion at the buck. If the rough opening is rot-damaged, we recommend full-frame replacement, and we’ll show you why on-site before any order is placed. Our local stock of common CGI weatherstripping, roller assemblies, and sash balances keeps most Edgewood service calls to a single visit.
CGI Service Pricing in Edgewood
CGI service in Edgewood typically falls between $180 and $340 for hardware and weatherstripping repairs, while full-frame impact window replacements run $1,200 to $3,800 per opening depending on size, model line, and the condition of the rough opening. A Targa impact door with header reinforcement usually lands between $4,500 and $9,000. The cost drivers in Edgewood are predictable: rot remediation at the buck, undersized lintels on hollow-core openings, and the need for county wind-load anchoring. A free estimate gives you a written line-item breakdown before any work is scheduled. Call (754) 238-2201 to set one up.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood
Because jalousie windows cannot be made to meet current FBC wind-load specs in any cost-effective way, and Orange County’s 2017 wind-load map revision means any pre-1975 Edgewood ranch that opens a permit for a window automatically triggers a whole-opening upgrade review. A glass-only swap would fail inspection and leave the opening non-compliant. We handle the full-frame replacement, the permit, and the inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 for a quote on your specific openings.
Yes, and the failure pattern is consistent. Warm, moisture-laden air off Lake Conway condenses on cooler aluminum sills overnight, which accelerates white oxide pitting and stresses weatherstripping on west- and north-facing exposures. We see it routinely on shoreline-adjacent homes, and we recommend an annual check of weep systems and screen tracks for owners within a few blocks of the water.
In most Edgewood ranch homes, yes. When we reframed two original jalousie banks on a Lake Conway-adjacent ranch off Hoffner Avenue, we reused the existing interior casing to preserve the home’s mid-century trim. We’ll tell you on the first visit whether your trim can be saved or whether the existing casing is too compromised by moisture to set against the new unit.
Yes, in many of the 1950s ranch homes we’ve serviced, the existing steel lintel was sized for a hollow-core door less than half the weight of a Targa impact unit. Without reinforcement, the frame sags within two years. We check the header on every door opening before ordering, and if it’s undersized, we reinforce it as part of the install.
No. Under Orange County’s wind-load rules, any permit pulled on a pre-1975 Edgewood ranch for a window triggers a whole-opening review, not just a glass replacement. The opening itself must be brought to compliance. It’s not a whole-house requirement, but the affected opening gets the full FBC review. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what the county will want to see.
