AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Medley, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CGI window and door service throughout Medley, Florida, with no manufacturer affiliation and no factory authorization to hide behind. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is anchor compliance: Medley’s commercial inspectors check NOA embedment and thru-bolt spacing on every CGI opening, and our crews set anchors to those drawings the first time, not after a failed inspection. We’re a local, second-generation glazier shop that services, repairs, and replaces CGI impact windows and sliding doors in Medley’s warehouse and logistics corridor. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Medley Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI windows and doors are engineered for Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, but engineering alone does not pass a Medley inspection. The distinction is in the install, and that is where our Medley Window Installation experience matters. Dale Kessler, our owner, 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 has been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades, and the work he is best known for is impact-rated installations that pass inspection the first time and hold through the kind of August storm that sends neighbors back to the hardware store.
We earn trust in Medley by knowing which CGI series clears commercial code review and which fails before the first anchor is set. Our techs carry OEM and aftermarket parts inventory tuned for Medley’s specific building stock, and we stand behind every repair with our Done Right Promise. Call (754) 238-2201, and a live person answers 24/7. Not a call center, not a voicemail tree. A person.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Medley
- HVHZ wind-load racking on large-format fixed panels. Tilt-wall warehouses around the Palmetto Expressway corridor regularly experience seal shear and water intrusion at the frame perimeter because large CGI fixed panels rack under wind load. We re-square the opening, reset the frame, and replace the seal before the water finds the interior.
- Galvanic corrosion on CGI aluminum frames. Salt-laden humidity from Medley’s freight corridor accelerates galvanic corrosion where steel hardware meets untreated mill finish on CGI frames. We replace the fasteners with marine-grade stainless and treat the contact points to stop the pitting.
- Roller and track assembly failure on CGI impact sliding doors. Constant truck traffic along the Palmetto Expressway kicks up dust and debris that grinds rollers and tracks on CGI sliders in Medley. We clean, lubricate, and replace worn rollers before the door binds and the track gets chewed.
- NOA label delamination on older CGI units. UV and chemical exposure from adjacent industrial processes in Medley can delaminate NOA labels on older CGI windows and doors. When a building changes hands, a faded NOA label triggers a failed re-inspection. We source replacement labels from CGI where available and document the NOA drawing for the inspector.
- Glass seal failure from wind-driven rain. Medley’s exposure to wind-driven rain under HVHZ wind loads places enormous stress on glazing seals. We replace failed seals and reglaze panels using NOA-tested laminated glass that meets the same standard as the original CGI unit.
CGI Service in Medley: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the part most Medley Door Installation and window companies never mention because they do not do enough commercial work in Medley to know it: Medley’s building department requires that every CGI impact window or door on a commercial building be anchored using the exact prescribed concrete embedment or Thru-Bolt schedule shown on the Miami-Dade NOA drawings. That rule is not enforced with the same intensity in neighboring Hialeah Gardens or unincorporated Miami-Dade, because Medley’s density of logistics warehouses means district inspectors are acclimated to checking NOA anchor spacing on every permit. If your CGI unit was installed by someone who skipped the NOA drawing, it will likely fail inspection, and you will pay twice: once for the original install, and again for the correction. We pull the NOA drawing before we touch a single anchor. It is the only way a Medley CGI job gets done right the first time.
One of our techs just finished a CGI Sentinel Series fixed-pane replacement for a refrigerated warehouse off NW 97th Avenue near the Palmetto Expressway. The original frame had racked under HVHZ wind load, and the NOA label was completely unreadable. We pulled the Miami-Dade NOA drawing for that exact CGI size, ordered the OEM laminated glass with a matching finish, and set twelve ¼-inch stainless steel screw anchors at the NOA-specified embedment before calling for the Medley inspection. It passed on the first visit without a single correction. That is the standard we hold for every CGI job in Medley.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Medley
We service the full CGI product line, including the Estate Series, Classic Series, Sentinel Series, and 900 Series. Whether you have an Estate Series fixed window in a Medley storefront or a Sentinel Series sliding door in a distribution hub, our techs know the frame extrusions, the hardware specifications, and the NOA test requirements that apply to each series. We default to genuine CGI parts for structural components like NOA-tested laminated glass and frame extrusions, but we use verified aftermarket rollers, weatherstripping, and marine-grade stainless hardware where CGI’s OEM supply is slower than Medley’s compliance deadlines. We also stock common CGI hardware locally so the repair does not wait on a freight shipment from Orlando.
CGI Service Pricing in Medley
CGI service in Medley typically runs:
- Roller or track replacement: $180-$340 per door
- Seal repair or glass re-seal: $150-$300 per unit
- Single-pane glass replacement (impact-rated laminated): $400-$900 per pane
- Full frame replacement (large fixed panel): $1,800-$3,500 depending on size and anchor pattern
- NOA compliance correction on existing install: $650-$1,400 per opening
What drives the cost in Medley is the anchoring pattern required by the NOA drawing, the specific CGI series, and whether the unit still holds design pressure integrity. We repair before replacing any CGI unit that retains its NOA rating and has not lost more than 20% of its design pressure integrity. Your free estimate includes a written line-item quote and a review of the NOA compliance status of every opening we touch. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Medley
Yes. Medley requires a local building permit for any CGI window or door replacement, and the inspector will verify that the installation matches the NOA drawings for that exact CGI product and size. The Miami-Dade NOA approval is a product certification, not a work permit. We handle both the product compliance and the Medley permit paperwork, so the only thing you sign is the check after inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 for help with your permit.
The CGI Sentinel Series and 900 Series are the two lines most commonly installed on Medley tilt-wall warehouse openings without a custom engineering letter, because their NOA drawings include anchoring schedules that match standard tilt-wall concrete embedment depths. Estate and Classic Series units are rated for impact, but their anchoring demands on commercial openings often require a supplementary engineering review. We inspect the opening and tell you straight which series will pass Medley inspection, and which will not.
Because Medley’s truck traffic and low elevation expose CGI sliding doors to constant dust, diesel particulate, and standing humidity that residential neighborhoods do not see. The result is accelerated roller wear, track contamination, and frame corrosion that you would not encounter on the same door in a residential subdivision east of the Palmetto. Our Medley service intervals account for those conditions.
In most cases we can replace only the glass, provided the original frame is still square and the NOA rating is intact. If the frame has racked under wind load, we will recommend replacing the entire unit so the new glass does not fail in the next storm. We measure every opening twice and give you a written explanation of what we find before any work starts.
The anchor compatibility trap. When a new sectional freight door goes in next to an existing CGI window, the door installers often disturb the window’s concrete anchors or change the load path. Medley inspectors will check both openings together, and a mismatched anchor schedule fails the whole assembly. The fix is an engineered anchor plan for both the CGI window and the freight door, done in one scope. That costs more up front, but far less than a failed inspection and a red-tagged door. Call (754) 238-2201 to have us look at your opening.
