AfterCGI Windows & Doors in New Port Richey, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we service, repair, and replace CGI windows and doors throughout New Port Richey. The thing that makes our CGI work here different is simple: we’ve been pulling corroded jalousie units out of 1960s concrete block homes along the Cotee River corridor long enough to know which frames can be saved and which ones will fail a wind mitigation inspection. That honest repair-versus-replace read is what local homeowners actually need. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll come take a look.
Why New Port Richey Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI windows and doors are built for coastal Florida, but New Port Richey beats on them in a specific way. Salt air off the Gulf, constant humidity from the Cotee River, and 50-year-old CBS construction all work against the aluminum. We’ve been maintaining and converting CGI products in these exact homes since before the current insurance crackdown, and we keep CGI service in Port Richey-area homes stocked with CGI-specific balances, rollers, and hinge hardware for this market.
Our CGI sales & service experience runs deep. Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up in Kendall watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail, then trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening slowly without guessing. He’s been setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. When an Estate Series fixed panel comes out of a riverfront home with pitted tracks, we know what we’re looking at before the truck is parked.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in New Port Richey
- Oxidized Aluminum Frames and Pitted Sill Tracks. The Cotee River estuary and direct Gulf exposure push salt-laden air into older New Port Richey neighborhoods daily. We see Estate Series fixed panels in riverfront homes with aluminum so oxide-blistered the glass can’t seat properly. The frame condition dictates whether we rebuild or replace.
- Jalousie Conversion Failures. Original louvered openings in 1960s and 1970s retirement builds frequently lack a solid wood or aluminum buck. When someone crams a CGI replacement into that opening, the frame racks within a year. We frame new rough openings into the block before setting the CGI unit.
- Roller Hop and Lift-Off on CGI Sliding Glass Doors. Sixty-year-old CBS homes settle. Headers that were undersized when the house was new have had six decades to sag. The result is a CGI sliding door that hops its track or lifts off entirely. We re-level, re-header where needed, and set new rollers.
- Soiled or Brittle Weatherstripping on Classic Single Hungs. Wind-driven rain and relentless sun exposure break down CGI weatherstripping faster in New Port Richey than in inland Pasco. A drafty, whistling Classic Series single hung is usually a weatherstripping issue, and we keep the factory-spec material on hand.
- Failed Jalousie-to-Impact Inserts. A homeowner tries to add impact inserts to original jalousie hardware and nothing seals. The louvers themselves are too far gone. We convert these to true CGI impact-rated openings with Florida Product Approval stickers visible for inspection.
CGI Service in New Port Richey: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most companies won’t tell you straight: New Port Richey is one of the few places in Florida where a single jalousie window can trigger an insurance non-renewal letter on its own. Pasco County carriers now run wind mitigation audits on virtually every policy in the Cotee River-to-Gulf corridor, and a louvered, crank-operated window from 1968 offers no impact resistance whatsoever. This is a level of scrutiny that CGI in Tarpon Springs or nearby Zephyrhills or Dade City almost never face. What that means for CGI owners is practical: if one of your openings still has original jalousies, your entire wind mitigation credit is at risk, even if every other window is a CGI Estate or Classic Series unit. The fix is not a patch job. It’s a proper conversion with the CGI product installed to Florida Product Approval standards, stickers visible, paperwork registered. We’ve done dozens of these conversions on streets near Pithlachascotee Park and downtown, and the insurance letter is usually the reason we’re called.
CGI Models & Products We Service in New Port Richey
We work on the full CGI residential line common in New Port Richey: Estate Series, Classic Series, Estate Fixed & Picture, and Classic Single Hung. When factory-spec CGI balances, rollers, and weatherstripping are available, we source them direct. When OEM parts are discontinued for older units, we use corrosion-resistant aftermarket equivalents built for salt-air service. We’ve found that aftermarket is sometimes the better choice in NPR’s coastal blocks, because the newer hardware stands up to the pitting that killed the original part. Our inventory means faster turnaround for most common repairs without waiting on a supplier.
CGI Service Pricing in New Port Richey
A straightforward CGI service call in New Port Richey typically runs $120 to $250 for labor, with hardware and parts added based on what’s actually needed. A single window balance or roller replacement might be a couple hundred dollars all in. A full jalousie-to-CGI impact conversion, including framing a new rough opening, is a different scale entirely, and we quote it line by line. What drives the price: the condition of the existing aluminum frame, whether the opening needs a new buck or header work, and whether you’re chasing wind mitigation credits that require full product approval documentation. Our estimates are written, itemized, and free. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll be specific with the numbers.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in New Port Richey
In most cases, yes, provided the CGI units are installed to current Florida Building Code impact standards with the Florida Product Approval documentation completed properly. The non-renewal is typically triggered by the jalousie opening itself, so eliminating that opening with an approved impact product and registering the paperwork gives your carrier something to underwrite. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact assessment of your openings, and our estimate is free.
Sometimes, but only if the original aluminum frame is straight, the sill track is not deeply pitted, and the seal surfaces are intact. CGI service in Oldsmar and New Port Richey both see salt air that often corrodes these frames past the point where an insert would seal. If we can rebuild the existing frame, we will. If we can’t, we’ll do a full-frame replacement into the concrete block, and we’ll show you the difference on paper before any work starts.
OEM weatherstripping for early CGI Estate Series units has been discontinued for some model years. We keep aftermarket equivalents in stock that are designed for coastal salt-air service, and in many cases they outlast the original material. We’ll match what’s available to your specific unit when we’re on site.
The wind mitigation credit applies to the openings that meet the impact standard, not to the whole house automatically. If some of your CGI windows are still sound and properly documented, they can contribute to the credit. The openings with failed jalousies or corroded non-impact frames will hold you back. Our team can tell you exactly which openings need to be converted for the credit to actually help your premium. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk it through with you.
New Port Richey follows the Florida Building Code for impact-rated openings, which means the product must carry a current Florida Product Approval, and the installation must match the approved anchoring pattern. For a 1970s CBS home, that often means additional fastening into the block and new sill flashing at the door opening. We pull the permit, handle the inspection, and make sure the approval stickers are in place before we leave.
