AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Sunrise, Broward County. We repair, rebuild, and replace CGI aluminum frames, sashes, rollers, and hardware in homes and condos throughout the city, from Sunrise Lakes to the 1970s tract neighborhoods west of University Drive. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that every job, even a single insert, must clear Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approval. We handle that filing as part of the work. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve rebuilt hundreds of CGI aluminum window and door systems across Broward County, and the Sunrise portion of that work has taught us what no brochure covers. CGI frames installed in this city’s 1970s and 1980s housing stock fail in predictable ways: salt-and-humidity pitting on sills, weatherstripping that turns brittle and lets water hit the interlock, and sliding door tracks packed with Everglades peat dust. We see these patterns weekly, which means we arrive already knowing what to look for rather than discovering it on your dime.
Our founder, CGI sales & service lead Dale Kessler, grew up in Kendall and trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program. He still measures every opening himself. That matters for CGI work in Sunrise because original rough openings here are rarely square after forty years of settling, and an out-of-true frame is where most installs go wrong. Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-affiliated installer. That independence means we recommend what’s right for the opening, not what clears a corporate quota. We carry a local inventory of the most-failed CGI components so most repairs don’t wait on a shipping dock.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Salt-and-humidity pitting on older CGI aluminum sills and jambs. This shows up worst on the west side of Sunrise, where Everglades-driven wind skips over the flatlands and carries fine particulate into the frame channels. Left alone, pitting grows into through-corrosion at the sill corner and the frame starts weeping into the wall cavity. We strip the affected area, apply an HVHZ-rated corrosion treatment, and replace the weatherstripping before the damage spreads.
- Water intrusion at the meeting rail on CGI fixed and sliding panels. Sunrise’s relentless humidity destroys weatherstripping faster than owners expect. When the seal goes brittle, water rides the rail, corrodes the interlock, and eventually stains the drywall below. We replace the seal with genuine CGI stock or a precision-match aftermarket equivalent, then check the interlock for pitting while we’re there.
- Roller lift-off and track-fill on CGI sliding glass doors in Sunrise condo towers. Years of peat dust and pollen pack the lower track. The panel starts riding on the frame, the bottom rail wears, and eventually the door lifts off the rollers when someone yanks it open. We clear the track, replace the rollers, and set the panel height so the interlock seats tight.
- Hinge pin and operator arm fatigue on CGI casement and awning windows. The 40-year-old cranks in original Sunrise Lakes units were never designed for daily torque that long. Pins wallow out, arms bend, and the sash sags until the lock no longer engages. We rebuild the operator assembly with fresh hardware, or replace the sash if the frame’s been racked past saving.
- Fogged or failed sealed units in CGI Estate and Sentinel Series glass. South Florida humidity finds any broken seal. When a CGI unit fogs between the panes, the glass has failed, not just the frame. We measure the exact daylight opening and order a replacement insulated unit built to the original CGI spec, then reglaze it on site.
CGI Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sunrise sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s not a zoning quirk. It means every CGI window or door we touch here, even a one-window insert replacement, must carry a Broward County product approval and install to Miami-Dade NOA wind-load standards. Contractors in Tamarac and Plantation sometimes don’t file these because the rules differ north of the county line. In Sunrise, code compliance is the first conversation, not an afterthought.
We know the Sunrise Lakes Phase Three condo workflow as well as any independent shop in the county: board approval first, building-wide permit pull, strict HVHZ product compliance on every unit, and an inspector who walks the whole phase in an afternoon. We recently swapped a 1984 CGI Sentinel Series single-hung there after the building-wide permit pull. The original aluminum interlock was eaten through on the lower half from years of sprinkler drift and Everglades humidity. Our tech had to rebuild the rough opening with fresh sill flashing before setting the new insert, then ran the required HVHZ product-approval sticker for the inspector. That’s just what the job takes here.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
We service the full CGI residential line: Estate Series, Classic Series, Sentinel Series, and the 7500 Series Impact Sliding Glass Doors. Parts handling matters more than a model list. We source genuine CGI hardware and weatherstripping first for direct replacement. For legacy Sunrise openings where a new CGI frame would require destructive stucco repair, we use precision-matched aftermarket rollers and seals to keep the existing frame viable for years.
Our honest stance on repair versus replace: if the frame is racked more than 1/8 inch or the interlock is corroded through, a full CGI insert replacement beats a patch-and-pray every time. We stock the common failure parts locally for fast Sunrise turnaround. Special-order CGI components still take manufacturer lead times, but we’ll tell you the real date, not a hopeful one.
CGI Service Pricing in Sunrise
CGI service pricing in Sunrise depends on what failed, not on what we think you’ll pay. Simple jobs like roller replacement on a CGI sliding door typically run $150 to $400 depending on the hardware required. Weatherstripping and interlock repair usually lands between $200 and $600. A full insert replacement for a single CGI window, including the required Broward County product approval paperwork, generally runs $1,200 to $2,800 depending on size and glass package. Full frame replacements are higher.
What drives the cost most here is the approval filing and the condition of the existing rough opening. A rotted sill adds time and materials. A square opening saves both. Our free estimate includes a written line-item quote, side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact number. Estimates are free.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Yes. Sunrise is entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window or door, including a single insert, must carry a Broward County product approval and install to Miami-Dade NOA wind-load standards. There’s no exemption for small jobs. We file the approval as part of our installation. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want to know what your specific opening requires.
Because your condo board is the first approval layer, and they’re liable if the product doesn’t match the building’s original structural assumptions. The city permit covers code compliance; the association submittal covers engineering consistency across the building. We prepare both packets, and we’ve done enough Sunrise Lakes work that we know what each phase’s board expects.
An insert fixes air leaks caused by failed weatherstripping, worn interlock, or sash sag. It will not fix a frame that’s racked more than 1/8 inch or a sill that’s corroded through, because the insert depends on the original frame for its structure. We measure the opening and tell you which situation you have before we quote. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll measure yours.
West-facing openings in Sunrise catch the open-fetch wind off the Everglades flatlands. That wind carries fine particulate and moisture that packs into west-side tracks and accelerates corrosion on west-side frames. The east side faces protected urban fabric and doesn’t get the same loading. It’s the most common pattern we see in Sunrise townhouse rows.
We measure the frame for rack and inspect the interlock for corrosion, then compare the frame condition against what the new glass package requires. If the frame is square within tolerance and the metal is sound, we rebuild the hardware and reglaze. If the frame has moved or the interlock is pitted through, replacement is cheaper in the long run.
