AfterCGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service throughout West Palm Beach. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is the split code regime: Palm Beach County requires Florida Product Approval, but not the Miami-Dade NOA that governs the counties to our south. That changes which CGI models, frames, and permits our crew actually uses on your street. We’ve been setting CGI impact units in West Palm Beach long enough to know the difference matters. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler has been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. 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 habit carries into every CGI service call our crew makes in West Palm Beach, because CGI frames don’t forgive guesswork. We’re an independent CGI service provider. Not manufacturer-affiliated, not tied to one product line, not pushing a catalog. What we push is the right part for the opening, sourced OEM when the series is current, machine-matched aftermarket when the factory has moved on. We keep rolling stock of CGI hinges, keepers, and sash locks for same-week turnaround on Estate, TruView, Classic, and Premier frames, and we know which West Palm Beach neighborhoods eat frames faster than others. If you live east of I-95, you already know what the salt air does to aluminum.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Salt-air pitting on raw aluminum frames east of I-95. The standard anodized finish on CGI frames starts showing white chalky blooms on sill corners and lock stiles within a few years of installation when the home sits within blocks of the Lake Worth Lagoon. The persistent salt spray accelerates oxidation well ahead of inland schedules. We address the pitting and recommend upgraded coatings or marine-grade fasteners where the location calls for it.
- Roller assemblies binding on Estate and TruView sliders. Blown beach sand and canal grit get into the tracks, especially on homes near the Intracoastal. Rollers seize, the door lifts off the track, and what used to glide now takes a shoulder to move. We clean, rebuild, or replace roller assemblies, and we’ll tell you if the track itself is too far gone to salvage.
- Wind-driven rain leaks at the meeting stile on east-facing windows. The weatherstripping on Classic and Estate flange systems degrades from UV exposure and salt. On an east-facing window in West Palm Beach, a compromised seal shows up as water on the sill during the first real storm line of the summer. We replace the weatherstripping and verify the interlock before the next squall.
- Warped frames and cracked stucco from rushed jalousie-to-CGI conversions. The 1950s and 1960s CBS homes that dominate West Palm Beach were framed for jalousie windows. The rough openings run undersized for stock CGI impact units. Prior “insert-only” installs that skipped full-frame reframing leave warped frames and cracked stucco behind. We do the reframing right, because we’ve seen what the shortcut costs.
- Discontinued Classic and Sovereign hardware failures. When a sash lock or hinge fails on a CGI frame that’s no longer in production, the homeowner’s first problem is finding parts. The factory doesn’t carry them. We machine match aftermarket extrusions and hardware to keep the window serviceable, and we’ll tell you straight when a full sash or frame replacement beats another rebuild.
CGI Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
West Palm Beach is the only city in Palm Beach County where you can replace a window on a Monday in the El Cid historic district, have the preservation board require matching muntin profiles and sightlines, and still need a Florida Product Approval number, but no Miami-Dade NOA, before the permit clerk will even stamp the application. That dual regulatory overlap defines CGI work here and not in Boca or Boynton, unlike CGI in Palm Beach where different rules apply. On a 1962 CBS rancher in Southland Park off Southern Boulevard, our crew pulled four original jalousie windows and replaced them with CGI Estate Series single-hung impact units. The stud bays were 2 inches narrower than a stock frame, so we milled side jamb extensions to fit without stucco cracks. Because the home sits east of I-95 three blocks from the Lake Worth Lagoon, we also upgraded the factory sill caps with marine-grade stainless fasteners after noticing the originals had galvanized screws showing rust within two years. That’s the kind of detail work a stock-frame swap never catches.
CGI Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We service every CGI series that shows up on West Palm Beach jobs: Estate Series, TruView Series, Classic Series, and Premier Series. We keep OEM CGI hinges, keepers, and sash locks on hand for current-series turnaround. For discontinued Classic and Sovereign frames, we machine match aftermarket extrusions and hardware the original manufacturer no longer carries. Learn more about our broader CGI sales & service work. If you’re outside the immediate West Palm Beach area, see our West Palm Beach service area page for coverage details.
CGI Service Pricing in West Palm Beach
CGI service pricing in West Palm Beach depends on the series, the failure mode, and whether the frame sits east or west of I-95. A routine hardware replacement on a current-series Estate window typically runs less than a full-frame rebuild on a 1960s Classic unit in El Cid. What drives cost: OEM parts availability, the amount of reframing required on older CBS rough openings, and whether the home is in a historic district that mandates matching profiles. Every estimate we give is a free, written line-item quote. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your CGI windows or doors.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Florida Product Approval is enough in West Palm Beach. The city falls within Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code, which requires impact-rated products on replacement jobs, but sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that mandates Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That means your CGI units need Florida Product Approval numbers, not the stricter NOA. Our permits and inspections are handled with that standard in mind. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll confirm what your specific project needs.
Salt air from the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic accelerates oxidation on raw aluminum frames. Homes east of I-95 sit within persistent salt-spray distance of the Intracoastal, and the standard anodized finish breaks down under that exposure years earlier than it would inland. The fix is upgraded coatings, marine-grade fasteners, or fiberglass frames where the location demands it. We address this on nearly every coastal CGI service call in West Palm Beach and North Palm Beach CGI service. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free assessment.
The preservation boards in El Cid and Flamingo Park require replacement windows to replicate original profiles and sightlines, even as the Florida Building Code mandates impact performance. That means off-the-shelf impact units generally won’t pass. The work becomes retrofitting laminated impact glass into custom-fabricated or aluminum-clad wood frames that match the original sightlines. We’ve done this in both districts. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what the board will ask for.
Sometimes, but not always. The rough openings in 1950s CBS construction run narrower than stock CGI impact frames, so the interior casing often can be reused if we mill side jamb extensions to fit. If the prior install cracked stucco or warped the frame, the casing usually has to come out with it. We’ll tell you on the estimate what’s salvageable. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free evaluation of your openings.
Yes. Replacement of an exterior door qualifies as structural work requiring a building permit through the city’s building division, and the Florida Building Code applies. A sliding glass door swap without a permit is a code violation that can surface in an insurance claim after a storm. We pull permits on every job and pass inspections before we call it done. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll handle the paperwork.
