CGI Impact Windows in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
We install, replace, and service CGI impact windows throughout Pompano Beach as an independent CGI service provider, and most single-window jobs are completed in one visit. We quote every job with both OEM and quality aftermarket part options on paper so you can see the difference before you spend a dime. No affiliation with the factory, and no upcharge for honesty.
If you own a home in Pompano Beach with CGI windows and a seal has fogged, a latch won’t throw, or a frame doesn’t sit square after twenty years of salt air, you’re in the right place. Call us at (863) 591-8673 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
Key Takeaways:
- We service every CGI line commonly installed in Pompano Beach, including Estate, Tribute, and Sentinel series windows.
- Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty.
- The Done Right Promise covers workmanship with no paperwork fights.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid impact window. Twenty years of salt air and hurricane cycles will still find the weak point in any assembly. Here is what we see most often in Pompano Beach homes, by series.
- Estate Series – fogged glass from failed desiccant strips. The Estate line uses a dual-pane impact laminate that depends on a desiccant strip inside the spacer to keep interior moisture out. In Pompano Beach, where summer humidity sits above 80 percent for months, we replace more desiccant-compromised Estate units than anything else. The fix is a full glass replacement with a fresh spacer and seal, not a drill-and-defog job that fails again in two years.
- Tribute Series – sash rollers that bind after salt exposure. Tribute horizontal sliders ride on nylon rollers that degrade in coastal air. The symptom is a slider that moves fine in winter and binds in July, when the aluminum frame expands. We replace the rollers with stainless or marine-grade nylon and re-square the frame so the panel glides instead of grinding.
- Sentinel Series – lock stiles that won’t throw after frame settlement. Sentinel casement and fixed windows are built like bank vault doors, which is why owners are surprised when the multi-point lock no longer engages. The cause is almost always settlement or improper original shimming, not the lock mechanism. We re-shim the frame, re-align the lock stile, and test every throw point before we call the job done.
- All series – failed glazing tape at the head jamb. CGI’s factory glazing tape does its job until it doesn’t, and when it fails at the head jamb, you get water staining at the top corner of the frame. This one is easy to miss from the exterior. We catch it during insulation checks and replace with butyl tape rated for South Florida UV exposure.
- Older CGI models – obsolete balance springs. If your CGI single-hung dates to the early 2000s, the balance springs may no longer be manufactured. We source NOS (new old stock) parts from regional suppliers, and when those run dry, we machine-fit an aftermarket spring with the same tension curve. No window gets retired over a part that costs less than a dinner out.
Our CGI Impact Windows Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (863) 591-8673. A live person answers, asks what the window is doing wrong, and gets your address. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center reading from a script.
- 2
We measure twice and open it up. A uniformed technician arrives on time, measures every opening, and removes the sash or panel to inspect the glazing, rollers, balances, and frame condition. We photo-document what we find.
- 3
You get the quote on paper, side by side. We price OEM CGI parts and quality aftermarket options side by side, in writing, with labor separate. You choose. No pressure, no surprise line items, no change orders invented mid-job.
- 4
The repair or replacement gets done in one visit. Most CGI jobs finish same-day. We set the unit square, install the parts, and re-check tolerances with a level and feeler gauge before we clean up.
- 5
We test the window like a hurricane would. Locks get thrown and re-thrown, the sash gets cycled full-travel both directions, and we run a water test at the base of the frame where seals fail first. If it isn’t right, it gets redone now, not later.
- 6
Both warranty layers get registered before we leave. The manufacturer warranty and the workmanship warranty go into writing, with durations stated, handed to you before the truck pulls out. The Done Right Promise backs all of it.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been in this community for more than four decades, through the building trades program Dale Kessler attended at Broward College and through every hurricane season since. We learned early that a window job done wrong costs more than the check you wrote. It costs you the seal, then the frame, then the drywall, then the floor.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. We measure every opening twice, quote every part line by line, and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave. We install PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems as well as CGI, so if a replacement makes more sense than a repair, you get a side-by-side price with no brand loyalty coloring the numbers. A square deal, every time.
FAQs
No. Independent repair done with OEM or equivalent parts does not void a CGI warranty, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing with durations stated so there is no ambiguity. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty.
Most common CGI parts like rollers, balances, and lock components are in our local stock or obtainable within three to five business days. Custom glass replacements typically take two to three weeks from order to install for Estate and Sentinel series units.
We do both, and the honest answer depends on frame condition and glass integrity. If the aluminum frame is sound and square, repair usually makes more financial sense. If the frame has corrosion at the corners or the glass laminate is delaminating, replacement is the right call. We will show you the price difference on paper and let you decide.
Not necessarily. Fogged glass means the seal has failed and the desiccant is spent. The impact laminate itself is often still intact, and a glass replacement restores clarity and insulation without replacing the entire frame. We inspect first and sell you only what you need.
