AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter Island, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Jupiter Island, from Estate Impact tear-outs on oceanfront parcels to Classic Series hardware swaps on the lagoon side. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different: we’ve torn down enough of these units on a quarter-mile-wide barrier island to know that a “standard” repair spec that works in Hobe Sound fails in twelve months on Jupiter Island. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you what your CGI units actually need.
TruePane Windows & Doors has been installing, replacing, and servicing impact windows and doors in South Florida since 2008. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-owned operation, which means when a hinge pin seizes or a glazing bead delaminates, we fix it with the best solution for your house, not the one that protects a corporate warranty department. If you own a home on Jupiter Island, you already know the salt is different here. So is the right way to service a CGI window. CGI sales & service is part of our core trade, and we’ve worked on enough of their lines to know each model family’s weak points in a marine environment.
Why Jupiter Island Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler founded TruePane after spending years watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties pile up on South Florida homeowners. He trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program and has been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors for going on three decades. His father re-glazed storefronts along the Tamiami Trail. That kind of training doesn’t come from a product binder; it comes from standing in front of a rough opening and knowing why a unit leaks before you touch it.
On Jupiter Island, that matters more than anywhere else in Martin County. This is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian River Lagoon on the other. Salt-laden air moves across every property from two directions, every day. We’ve seen CGI hardware fail in months that would last a decade in Stuart. The standard repair playbook doesn’t work here. That’s why our techs tear down the entire issue, show you exactly what failed and why, and quote the fix in writing before any work starts. It’s the same approach Dale keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Jupiter Island
- Pitted interior frames on ocean-side CGI Estate Series windows. It’s counterintuitive, but the interior face of an Estate Series aluminum frame often pits worse than the exterior on Jupiter Island. Atlantic easterlies push salt aerosol straight through the house, and standard residential-grade aluminum gets chewed from the inside out. We strip, re-coat, or replace with marine-grade options.
- Sealant delamination at the glazing bead on west-facing CGI Estate Impact panels. The Indian River Lagoon side of the island is not protected. Saltwater wicking works into the glazing bead over time, and the sealant lifts in sheets. We re-bed with third-party DuPont or Sika marine sealants, because that’s what survives a two-sided salt zone.
- Seized PVD-coated hinge pins on oceanfront CGI French doors. We pulled a set of Estate Impact French doors on a South Beach Road oceanfront estate last October. The original PVD-coated hinge pins had fused to the leaves in under two years. We milled the old pins out, replaced them with 316 stainless pins, and re-set the slab. The estate manager now has us on an annual hardware service schedule.
- Sand-abraded rollers and tracks on CGI Targa sliders. Wind-driven beach sand packs into Targa slider tracks and acts like sandpaper on standard rollers. On three different east-facing Jupiter Island properties, we’ve seen lift-off in under three years. Stainless rollers and a marine-grade track treatment stop the wear.
- Out-of-production CGI Classic Series hardware failures. Classic units are no longer in production, and aftermarket hardware is often a poor fit. We repair first, replacing rollers, hinges, and glazing beads when the frame is sound. When a 15-year-old oceanfront Classic is not worth re-machining, we tell you that straight, and quote the replacement cost honestly.
CGI Service in Jupiter Island: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Jupiter Island is the only barrier island in Martin County where the entire town lot line sits within 1,250 feet of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon at the narrowest point east of Beach Road. That’s not a zoning quirk; it’s a material-science problem. The Town of Jupiter Island’s architectural review board knows this, which is why they require anodized marine-grade aluminum frames on any impact replacement. A generic High-Velocity Hurricane Zone window may pass Florida Building Code, but it will not pass town review here, and it shouldn’t, because a standard anodized frame pits within two years when every property gets salt spray from two sides at once.
For CGI owners, this cuts two ways. A CGI Estate Impact with a factory marine finish generally meets the town’s spec, and it handles the double-salt environment far better than a stock residential line. But the hardware is still the weak point. Hinge pins, rollers, locksets, and even fasteners specified for “coastal” service fail here faster than they would in Tequesta or Hobe Sound, because those towns don’t have the Indian River Lagoon throwing salt at the west elevation while the ocean pounds the east one. Our job is to know which components survive this environment and which ones get swapped in the field, before they fail on the night a hurricane makes landfall.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Jupiter Island
We service the full CGI lineup: Estate Impact Series, Estate Series, Classic Impact Series, and Targa Series. For structural replacements, we use genuine CGI frames and sashes. Sightline matching on custom Jupiter Island millwork makes aftermarket frames a nonstarter; the reveal lines and extrusion profiles have to match, period. For hardware and seals, we intentionally diverge from the factory spec. Stainless steel or marine-grade PVD hardware, plus DuPont or Sika marine sealants, go into every unit we touch on this island. Those are the parts that fail first in a two-sided salt zone, and there’s no point reinstalling the same weak link.
On the sub-services side, our Jupiter Island work centers on three things: hurricane impact windows, impact sliding glass doors, and impact entry and French doors. Those are what this island’s housing stock demands. If you have an archtop Estate Impact fixed panel with a failing glazing bead, or a Targa slider that sounds like it’s chewing gravel, call before it becomes a structural problem: (754) 238-2201.
CGI Service Pricing in Jupiter Island
What you’ll pay for CGI service here depends on what failed and how far it went. A hardware swap (hinge pins, rollers, lockset) on a single unit typically runs $180 to $550, including parts and the service call, when the frame is sound. A glazing bead re-bed or sealant remediation runs $250 to $700 per panel, depending on lineal feet and access. Frame pitting remediation on multiple openings usually lands between $1,200 and $4,000, and a full sash replacement on an Estate Impact fixed panel can range from $1,800 to $6,500 for large custom sizes. If the failure is past repair, replacement runs higher, and Jupiter Island’s architectural review process can add review time before the work.
Every estimate is written and line-itemed, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. We stand behind the work with our Done Right Promise. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter Island
The lagoon-side unit gets hit with salt from two directions: Atlantic easterlies push salt aerosol straight through the property, and the Indian River Lagoon adds its own brackish salt spray on the west elevation. It’s not that one side is “protected” here; it’s that the lagoon side gets a double dose in a house with no inland buffer. That’s why we spec stainless hardware and marine-grade sealants on both sides, not just the ocean side. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll assess what your specific openings need.
Yes. The Town of Jupiter Island enforces its own architectural review process beyond standard Florida Building Code permitting. Any replacement window or door specification must clear that review, and the town requires anodized marine-grade aluminum frames on impact replacements. We help clients navigate that process, and we can tell you before we quote whether a given CGI line will pass or get flagged.
In most cases, yes. We work hard to preserve custom millwork on Jupiter Island estates, and we’ll set the new impact unit so the interior reveal stays consistent with your existing casing. There are occasional limits; a severely rotted gable-end jamb or a deep retrofit may require some millwork rework, but we’ll show you exactly what’s involved before we start.
Not in the warranty sense. The sand on Jupiter Island beaches is fine and wind-driven, and it packs into Targa and Estate Impact slider tracks, abrading standard rollers until they deform. This is environmental, and it happens here faster than almost anywhere else in Martin County. We replace the rollers with stainless units and re-treat the track, which solves it for years rather than weeks. Call (754) 238-2201 for a quote.
On Jupiter Island, yes. The double-sided salt exposure reaches second-story balcony doors on both elevations, even when the dune is between you and the surf. Standard bronze or PVD-coated hinges on a second-story balcony door seize in similar time frames to first-floor units here. We install 316 stainless hinge packages on any CGI French door we service on the island, full stop. Give us a call at (754) 238-2201 and we’ll quote it.
