AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Tamarac, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Tamarac Window Installation and door service across Tamarac, from full impact-rated replacements on 1970s CBS homes to track rebuilds on original sliding glass doors that have stopped latching. What makes our CGI work different here comes down to one thing: Tamarac’s housing stock was built almost entirely between 1965 and 1980, so nearly every block-set opening we touch needs stucco patching around the new frame, and we have done enough of them to know exactly what that costs before we start. As a local, independent service provider, we are not manufacturer-affiliated, and we will quote OEM parts and aftermarket options side by side on paper. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why Tamarac Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
The first thing homeowners in Tamarac ask us is whether we actually know CGI frames, and the answer is that we have been repairing them city-wide for over a decade. Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall when that part of Miami-Dade was mostly nurseries and canal roads, and he spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail before he ever picked up a paycheck. He trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening the way a doctor reads an X-ray: slowly and without guessing. That background matters when you are working on a 1973 ranch where the original CGI Classic Series frames have pitted through the anodized coating on the west wall.
We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise playbook. Every technician who walks onto a Tamarac property is background-checked and uniformed, and every opening gets measured twice before we write anything down. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and we back the work with our Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, which matters in a city where a large share of homeowners are on fixed incomes. For full CGI sales & service details, call us and we will walk you through the options.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Tamarac
- Pitted and oxidized aluminum frames on west and south exposures. Tamarac sits roughly 10 miles inland, but salt-laden humid air from both coasts still carries in and settles on original CGI aluminum frames. After 40 to 50 years, the anodized coating fails, the frame pitts, and moisture works into the stucco seam. This is most common on west and south walls, where the sun hits hardest, and it is the single most frequent call we get from Tamarac homeowners.
- Crumbled weatherstripping and failed glazing seals. Extreme UV and year-round humidity destroy the rubber and sealant on original CGI windows. The first sign is condensation between the panes, which means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. The second sign is a draft you feel standing a foot away. Both are repairable with OEM CGI parts where available, but if the frame is also pitted, we will tell you honestly whether a full insert makes more sense than chasing seals.
- Warped and corroded sliding glass door tracks that no longer latch. Tamarac’s original 1970s CGI sliding glass doors are a near-universal failure point. Decades of humidity have warped tracks and corroded frames to the point where many units will not latch or lock securely, which is exactly what Broward County wind-mitigation inspectors flag, and what insurers use to deny discounts or trigger non-renewal. A free sliding-door assessment is the fastest way to find out where your door stands.
- Original jalousie and awning-style CGI windows failing wind-borne debris code. A large share of Tamarac homes still have original jalousie or awning-style aluminum windows, and those openings are categorically non-compliant with current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements. There is no cheap insert retrofit path for these. They require full frame-out replacement with impact-rated units, and we pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
- Block-set rough openings needing stucco patching. Nearly every original window opening in Tamarac is a block-set rough opening in a concrete block wall. When you pull the old frame, you expose the masonry, and the new CGI frame needs proper anchoring and fresh stucco patching around all four sides. Skip that step and you get water intrusion inside two years. We photograph every anchor before the stucco goes on, because we know insurers here look for that documentation.
CGI Service in Tamarac: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Tamarac’s nearly uniform stock of 1965 to 1980 CBS homes means something that does not apply in neighboring Coral Springs with its newer frame construction: almost every original window opening here is a block-set rough opening requiring stucco patching around the new CGI frame. That is a scope condition, not a footnote. Insurers in Broward County now examine anchor photos and stucco work before granting wind mitigation discounts, so cutting that corner does not just look bad, it costs you money on your premium for years. At a 1973 ranch on NW 70th Avenue near the Tamarac Sports Complex, our techs pulled the original CGI Classic Series single-hung and found the aluminum frames pitted through the anodized coating on the west wall, while the rear CGI sliding door’s track had warped so badly the door would not latch. We replaced the windows with series-rated inserts using OEM glazing beads, rebuilt the door track with new rollers, stucco-patched all four block-set openings, and passed the Broward County wind mitigation inspection the same week. That is the kind of job we do regularly in Tamarac, and it is the main reason we tell homeowners to budget for stucco when they price a CGI replacement here.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Tamarac
We service the full CGI residential line that went into Tamarac’s original build-out and the lines homeowners have installed since: the CGI Classic Series single-hung impact windows, the CGI Estate Series casement and picture windows, the CGI 7000 Series horizontal rolling impact windows, and the CGI sliding glass door line in both Estate and Classic Series. For warranty-sensitive components like sash balances, rollers, and impact glass, we default to OEM CGI parts whenever they are available. On Tamarac homes where the original frame is already pitted beyond repair, we recommend a full insert or full-frame replacement rather than chasing corroded hardware, and we will show you both numbers before you commit. Our local stock of OEM glazing beads, rollers, and balances keeps most Tamarac service calls to a single visit.
CGI Service Pricing in Tamarac
CGI impact window replacement in Tamarac typically runs $1,200 to $2,800 per opening, depending on the model line, the size of the block-set rough opening, and how much stucco patching is required. Track rebuilds on sliding glass doors generally fall between $350 and $900, while full sliding door replacement starts around $3,500 and climbs with the frame configuration. What drives cost here more than anything is the age of the house: if we are pulling a 1973 original frame, the stucco work and anchor documentation are part of the bid, not an add-on. A free estimate includes a written line-item quote with both warranty layers registered in writing, and we offer a free written repair estimate as well as a maintenance check. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote, and we will be there when we say.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Tamarac
Yes. The city requires a building permit for any CGI window or door replacement, and Broward County requires a separate wind mitigation inspection to document the impact-rated openings for your insurance policy. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will handle both.
Because the aluminum tracks themselves have corroded and warped after 40 to 50 years of Broward humidity. New rollers on a warped track bind within weeks. We rebuild the track, set new rollers, and realign the door so it latches the way it did when the house was new.
An HOA can enforce architectural style rules, such as frame color or profile, but it cannot unreasonably prohibit impact-rated CGI windows or doors. We help Tamarac homeowners navigate the approval paperwork and furnish the exact product specifications the board needs.
No. Jalousie and awning-style aluminum windows are categorically non-compliant with the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris requirements, and there is no code-legal insert path. They require full frame-out replacement with impact-rated CGI units. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will give you an honest line-item quote.
Because the sticker on the glass is not enough. Insurers want documented anchor photos and stucco patching evidence showing the frame was properly set into the block opening and the product approval matches the installed model line. We document every anchor before stucco goes on, which is exactly what the wind mitigation inspector needs to see. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free assessment.
