AfterCGI Windows & Doors in West Park, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and West Park Door Installation service throughout West Park, from single-unit repairs to full jalousie-to-impact conversions on 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranch homes. What makes our CGI work here different is that we know this housing stock: original rough openings that were never square, steel lintels that have rusted behind stucco, and sills that spalled decades before anyone thought to check. If you need CGI service in West Park, call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate from a crew that has done this work on hundreds of Broward County homes.
TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, not a franchise, and not authorized by CGI. We are a second-generation glazier’s shop that repairs and replaces CGI products because the materials are good and the installs in this part of Broward County demand more than a manual. For CGI sales & service, our shop carries factory OEM parts and marine-grade aftermarket hardware so most West Park jobs wrap up in a single visit.
Why West Park Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Homeowners in West Park call us because we have spent years working on the West Park Window Installation and doors this city actually has: jalousie frames in Florida rooms, single-pane aluminum sliders in living rooms, and hollow-core steel entry doors that bind in July. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after watching too many out-of-true installs and voided warranties leave homeowners holding the bag. He still measures every job himself.
We train our technicians on CGI product lines specifically: Estate Collection casements and fixed windows, Classic Series single-hungs and horizontal sliders, Sentinel Series sliding glass doors, and Craftsman Series entry and French doors. When we quote a repair or replacement in West Park, we do it on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what you are buying. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is not negotiable.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Park
- Binding impact sliders on corroded tracks. CGI impact sliders in West Park slowly bind when wind-driven salt spray from Biscayne Bay settles into the aluminum track and mixes with rust from the original steel lintels above the opening. Rollers delaminate within five to seven years. We replace track assemblies and marine-grade rollers, then shim the frame so the door moves cleanly.
- Air infiltration at spalled concrete sills. Classic Series single-hungs in original CBS homes often fail air-infiltration tests not because of the glazing but because 60-year-old concrete sills have spalled under the frame corners. The sealant bond breaks. We grind the sill, rebuild the corner with epoxy mortar, and reset the frame with a continuous bead that holds under HVHZ wind loads.
- Jalousie-to-CGI rough opening failures. When we pull jalousie frames from 1950s-1970s West Park walls, the rough openings are frequently undersized and out of square. A CGI frame cannot sit flush without custom masonry cuts and header reinforcement. We do that work in-house, not subcontracted to a handyman.
- Estate Collection casement weatherstripping compression. On east-facing walls, the hinge side of the sash racks under hurricane wind loads because the original jalousie openings were never square. The weatherstripping compresses at the hinge and leaks. We correct the rough opening, reset the hinges, and replace the pile weatherstripping with marine-grade stock that lasts longer in salt air.
- Failed wind-mitigation reinspections. A homeowner in West Park with original jalousie windows in a Florida room will fail a Citizens Insurance wind-mitigation inspection. The flag is automatic. We handle full CGI conversions and make sure the Miami-Dade NOA stickers are visible for the follow-up report.
CGI Service in West Park: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
West Park is one of the few Broward municipalities where original 1950s jalousie windows are still the dominant window type in older CBS homes. That is not true a few miles north in Hollywood or west in Pembroke Pines, where newer stock or different fenestration histories mean fewer complete retrofit jobs. Here, a Citizens Insurance wind-mitigation inspection will flag those jalousies as an automatic denial for discounts. So a full jalousie-to-CGI impact conversion is not an upgrade. It is the only way to keep a policy in force.
Our crew recently quoted a full-home CGI conversion on a 1963 concrete-block ranch off SW 40th Avenue after a Citizens re-inspection flagged three original jalousie windows in the Florida room and two single-pane aluminum sliders in the living room. We removed the jalousie frames, rebuilt the rough openings with pressure-treated bucks, and installed Estate Collection impact casements and a Sentinel sliding glass door, all with Miami-Dade NOA stickers visible for the follow-up wind-mitigation report. The homeowner’s wind-mitigation discounts were restored the same month.
That street-level detail is why we write pages like this one. A generic CGI page will not tell you that a 1960s jalousie window in West Park cannot legally or safely accept a simple insert replacement. The opening geometry, the header condition, and the code requirements make a full-frame conversion the only defensible spec.
CGI Models & Products We Service in West Park
We service the full CGI residential lineup: Estate Collection impact casements and fixed windows, Classic Series single-hungs and horizontal sliders, Sentinel Series impact sliding glass doors, and Craftsman Series impact entry and French doors. For structural components and NOA recertification, we use CGI factory OEM glazing, balances, and multi-point locks. For consumables like pile weatherstripping, rollers, and weep-hole screens, we install marine-grade aftermarket parts that hold up better in West Park’s salt air than stock hardware.
On units over 12 years old with frame pitting or distorted sashes, we give you an honest repair-cost versus full-replacement quote before we touch a screwdriver. Some frames are worth saving. Some are not. We will tell you which one you have.
CGI Service Pricing in West Park
CGI service pricing in West Park depends on whether we are repairing hardware, rebuilding a rough opening, or doing a full-frame replacement on a jalousie conversion. A hardware-level repair like rollers and weatherstripping typically runs lower than a frame-out conversion that requires masonry cuts, header reinforcement, and new NOA-stickered units. Every quote includes a written breakdown so you see the parts, the labor, and the warranty registration before any work begins.
Here is what shifts the price on most West Park jobs:
- Rough opening condition. Homes built between 1950 and 1980 often have undersized, out-of-square openings that require custom cuts.
- Jalousie removals and steel lintel repairs. Rusted lintels behind stucco must be addressed before a CGI frame can seat.
- Product line. Estate Collection casements cost more than Classic Series sliders, but the performance under HVHZ wind loads is different.
- Sealant and flashing upgrades. We use marine-grade sealants and through-flashing at sill corners on every exterior opening.
Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule your free estimate. We will measure every opening, walk you through the numbers, and leave you with a written quote, not a verbal guess.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Park
Because a 1950s-1970s jalousie opening in a CBS wall was never built to the dimensions or tolerances a CGI impact frame requires. The rough opening is typically undersized and out of square, the header condition is unknown, and Florida building code in the HVHZ requires a full-frame installation for any replacement where the existing frame is not code-compliant. An insert would leave the old jalousie frame in place, which fails wind-mitigation inspection and voids the CGI warranty. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your specific openings.
No. A single original jalousie window in any opening covered by the inspection will trigger a denial or a discount reduction. Citizens inspectors look at every fenestration opening, not just the ones you replaced. If you are doing a partial conversion, plan the Florida room into the scope.
Salt air accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware, especially where the steel lintel above the opening rusts and drips onto the track or sill. We use marine-grade rollers, stainless steel fasteners, and pile weatherstripping rated for coastal exposure on every CGI repair. The factory stock hardware does not always hold up in this climate, which is why we stock the aftermarket upgrades that do.
For narrow original openings, we typically spec Classic Series single-hungs or fixed windows, which fit the tighter rough-opening widths common in West Park’s CBS ranch stock. If the opening can be widened cleanly, Estate Collection casements give better sealing and cleaner lines. We will measure and tell you which product fits without hacking the wall.
Most full-house CGI conversions in West Park take four to seven working days once materials are on hand, depending on how many rough openings need masonry correction. Jalousie removals and lintel repairs add time, but we sequence the work so your home stays secure and weather-tight every night. Call (754) 238-2201 for a schedule based on your specific house.
