AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Wellington, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Wellington, from single-hung roller track rebuilds to full frame-out impact replacements, and also offer CGI repair in West Palm Beach. We’re not a manufacturer arm or a franchise call center. The one thing that makes our CGI work different here is that we carry the exact finish samples and Palm Beach County wind-load documentation Wellington’s HOA architectural review boards ask for, so your job doesn’t stall waiting on paperwork we should have brought the first visit. Call (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Wellington Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most of the CGI windows and doors in Wellington went in between the late 1980s and the early 2000s, back when the communities were still being built out block by block. We’ve worked on enough of them to know which years had glazing seal batches that fog early, which frame corners hold water, and which roller tracks pit first from pool cage runoff. Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up in Kendall watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail. He trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program and has been setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. That background matters when a homeowner in Binks Forest asks whether a 1992 CGI Classic single-hung is worth rebuilding or should be replaced outright. We give an honest answer, measured in cost per year of remaining service, not in what’s easier for the truck schedule.
We’re an independent CGI service provider. We don’t answer to a manufacturer’s quota, and we’re not pushing one product line because a rep bought us lunch. We service what’s already in your home, and when replacement is the right call, we quote CGI lines side by side on paper with any other brand that fits the opening, so you see exactly what you’re buying.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Wellington
- Weep-hole corner corrosion on Classic Series aluminum frames. This is the single most common CGI failure we see in Wellington. Afternoon convective storms from June through October drive rain against west- and south-facing walls, and the weep holes on original single-hungs are small enough to clog with landscape debris. Water sits in the track channel, the aluminum oxidizes white at the corners, and the frame starts weeping into the stucco cavity instead of out the front. We clean, seal, and replace the frame section or the full unit depending on how deep the corrosion goes.
- Fogged glazing on early double-pane units. Wellington’s heat cycling is relentless. Three decades of 90-degree afternoons followed by 70-degree nights stresses the sealant around the glass until the argon or krypton fill leaks out and condensation fogs between the panes. The glass still holds, but the thermal performance is gone and the view looks like a shower door. We replace the insulated glass unit where the frame is sound, and we tell you straight when the frame is too far gone to justify it.
- Pitted and oxidized roller tracks on Sentinel sliding glass doors. Organic debris from Wellington landscaping gets worked into the bottom track by every open and close. The rollers grind it into the aluminum, the track pits, and the door feels like it’s sliding through gravel. We rebuild the track with marine-grade components where the extrusion allows, or replace the door panel and track assembly when it doesn’t.
- Estate Collection French door misalignment on oversize openings. The equestrian estate lots along the corridor have openings that were never stock sizes. A twelve-foot French door with four panels carries a lot of weight, and after twenty years the hinges sag, the astragals stop meeting, and the locks bind in July. We realign and rehang where the door is worth keeping, and replace where the frame has pulled out of true.
- Original builder-grade aluminum single-hungs beyond repair on pool cage walls. We see late-1980s homes in Versailles and Paddock Park where the frame has oxidized white, the weep system is gone, and the HOA wants a finish match before anything moves. These are replacement jobs, not repair jobs, and we handle the ARB submittal as part of the estimate.
CGI Service in Wellington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Wellington is roughly 12 to 15 miles inland from the Atlantic, which means you don’t get the raw salt spray corrosion that eats aluminum at the coast, but you get something quieter and just as damaging. The afternoon convective storms from June through October drive wind-driven rain at exactly the west- and south-facing walls where most pool cage sliders and single-hungs were installed. Water that would evaporate at the beach gets forced into frame channels, behind glazing beads, and down into stucco cavities. Then Wellington’s HOA structure adds a second layer. Olympia, Versailles, Binks Forest, Paddock Park, and dozens of other gated communities each maintain their own architectural review board with approved CGI frame colors, grid styles, and hardware finishes. A code-compliant impact window can sit for 30 to 45 days waiting on a sample card sign-off before permit work starts. No neighboring city in Palm Beach County replicates this at this density. That two-step process is the part generic installers don’t navigate well, and it’s the part we’ve spent years doing right.
Our tech pulled up to a late-1980s CBS home in the Versailles community where the original CGI Classic single-hung on the west-facing pool cage wall was weeping water every afternoon storm. The aluminum frame had oxidized white at the corners and the weep holes were packed with years of landscape debris. Because the HOA required a bronze anodized finish match, we ordered the Estate Series replacement with the exact factory color sample, handled the ARB submittal, and completed a full frame-out impact install after the 38-day review passed. Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Wellington
We service the full CGI line as it’s represented in Wellington housing stock. Classic Series single-hungs and horizontal rollers, which are the most common in the late-1980s and 1990s communities. Estate Series casements and picture windows, which show up on the larger estate lots and custom homes. Sentinel Series impact sliding glass doors, which are the standard for pool deck walls built after the 2002 code overhaul. And Estate Collection French doors and entry doors, including the oversize custom units on equestrian corridor properties.
We stock both OEM CGI parts and premium aftermarket marine-grade components. The aftermarket parts matter in Wellington because the original spec wasn’t always designed for the constant organic debris load from mature landscaping. We choose parts that match the original finish and wind-load rating, never a compromise on either. For frames with deep corrosion or failed seals, we recommend full replacement over band-aid repairs when the HOA and permit process allows, because a patched frame in a Wellington stucco wall is a leak waiting on the next afternoon storm.
CGI Service Pricing in Wellington
What you’ll pay depends on what we find when we open the frame. Here’s a straight breakdown of typical CGI service costs in the Wellington market.
- Single-hung roller track rebuild or re-glaze: $180 to $340 per window, depending on frame condition and hardware replacement.
- Slider door track repair or roller replacement: $220 to $450, with marine-grade components added where the original track is pitted.
- Insulated glass unit replacement with fogged glazing: $350 to $650 per unit, including sealant and re-bedding.
- French door realignment and rehang: $300 to $575 for most four-panel systems, more for oversize estate openings.
- Full frame-out CGI impact replacement: $850 to $1,600 per opening, including HOA ARB documentation and permit-ready drawings.
Every estimate includes the ARB submittal package if your community needs one, and we keep the number on the paperwork the number on the bill. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Wellington
Yes, in most of Wellington’s gated communities, and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t worked here. The architectural review board must approve your finish sample, grid style, and hardware finish before Palm Beach County will issue the permit. Some communities clear in two weeks, others take 30 to 45 days. We handle the submittal for you and chase the review board so you’re not the one making follow-up calls. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you exactly what your community’s board asks for.
In most cases, yes. CGI has maintained consistent anodized finish spec over the years, and we carry factory color samples for the bronze and white finishes Wellington’s ARBs most often approve. On some of the oldest frames the original finish has oxidized to a tone no factory card matches perfectly. When that happens, we show you the closest two options side by side and let the board decide. We never fake a match and hope nobody looks twice.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Light pitting on the track face can be cleaned and reconditioned, and the rollers replaced with marine-grade hardware that holds up better against landscape debris. Deep pitting that reaches into the structural channel means the extrusion is compromised, and repairing it would leave you with the same problem in two years. We’ll show you the track condition honestly and quote both options when both are viable. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. Palm Beach County’s design wind speeds mandate impact-resistant or protected glazing for new installations regardless of distance from the coast, and Wellington sits squarely inside the wind-borne debris region. Beyond code, Florida’s ongoing insurance crisis means carriers are looking hard at openings during underwriting. Impact-rated units keep your policy in better standing and protect the house when a summer line moves through. We don’t oversell it, but we also don’t pretend the code doesn’t apply here.
Plan on 30 to 45 days from submittal to approval in most Wellington communities, though a few boards move faster. That clock starts when the complete sample card and spec sheet are in the board’s hands, not when you first call us. We pull together the full package as part of the estimate, so nothing sits waiting on a missing color chip. If you’re worried about timing before a major storm season, call (754) 238-2201 now and we’ll plot the calendar backward from your ideal install date.
