CGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
CGI custom and geometric windows in Pompano Beach can be repaired or replaced without replacing the whole frame, and most jobs run $350 to $1,200 per opening depending on glass type, shape complexity, and whether the frame is still sound. TruePane Windows & Doors handles these as an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer arm, which means we quote the repair honestly and we don’t push a full replacement when a seal, a hinge, or a glass unit will do the job. If you own a CGI window with an arch, a radius, a trapezoid, or an oversized fixed unit that’s fogged, binding, or leaking in the corners, this page tells you what’s actually wrong and what it costs to make it right. Call (863) 591-8673 and you’ll get a live person, not a menu.
This page is written for CGI owners in Pompano Beach who want straight answers. We’ve been setting and repairing glass across Broward County since 2008 under Dale Kessler’s name, and we’ve seen every way salt air, hurricane cycles, and a bad original install can shorten the life of a shaped window.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a strong impact window, no question. But in Pompano Beach, the failures we see follow patterns. Here are the ones that show up most often on custom and geometric units.
- Corner seal fogging on fixed geometric units. Arches, circles, and trapezoids put more stress on the sealant at the corners than a square unit ever does. On CGI’s Estate Collection and Targa Series fixed shapes, we often see fogging that starts in one curved corner and spreads. The cause is usually a compromised spacer at the tightest radius point, not a failed frame. The fix is replacing the insulated glass unit, and we measure the radius three times before we order it. A shape cut one degree off won’t seat cleanly.
- Binding sashes on oversized CGI operable windows. A six-foot-wide Estate Collection casement or awning gets heavy. In Pompano Beach’s humidity, the hardware wears unevenly, and the sash starts to drag at the bottom hinge side. We see this on units that have been opened against a salt-crusted track for years. We strip the hardware, clean the track with the right solvent, replace the hinge cartridges when they’re worn, and reset the sash so it closes without forced pressure.
- Leaking at the top arch radius on CGI picture windows. Rain driven by Pompano Beach summer storms finds the top curve of an arched picture window first. If the original install didn’t flash that radius properly, water works in at the top center and rots the rough opening from the inside out. We pull the trim, inspect the flashing, and when the frame’s still sound, we reflash and reseal that curve. When it isn’t sound, we say so and quote the replacement honestly.
- Failed impact glass delamination on CGI Targa Series units. CGI’s laminated glass is a big part of what you’re paying for. When delamination shows up, usually at the edges of a shaped unit, it looks like a milky haze working inward. That’s the interlayer breaking down, often from years of direct Pompano Beach sun on a southern exposure. There’s no field repair for delamination. The glass unit gets replaced, and we register the new unit’s warranty in writing before we leave your driveway.
- Stripped or sheared lock hardware on CGI casement and awning windows. Shaped windows that open get closed against a lot of torque because the geometry concentrates force at the lock point. On CGI’s Estate Collection casements, the lock strike and keeper wear out first. We source OEM hardware when the line’s still in production, and when it isn’t, we use a machined aftermarket replacement that matches the throw and the mounting holes. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty, so we give you the parts spec and the source before we install it.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
Here’s how a CGI shaped-window job runs when TruePane shows up.
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers at (863) 591-8673, day or night. We’ll ask what the window looks like, what it’s doing, and whether it’s a shape or a standard rectangle. That tells us what the truck needs to carry.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. Our tech measures the opening twice, checks the corners, the hardware, the glass, and the frame. We look for the actual cause, not just the visible symptom. A fogged corner and a failed seal are two different jobs.
- 3
Parts and glass decision. We lay out the options on paper: OEM glass and hardware where available, a quality aftermarket match where it performs the same, and the honest difference in price and warranty between them. You decide with the numbers in front of you.
- 4
The repair or replacement. We set the new glass or hardware, bed it correctly, and clean the job. No surprise line items on the bill, no second appointment left hanging.
- 5
Test and register. We cycle the sash if it moves, check the seal, and register both warranty layers in writing. Then we walk you through what we did and what to look for going forward.
- 6
Done Right Promise. If anything we touched isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing.
What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Pompano Beach
Here are the ranges we see on CGI shaped and custom work in Pompano Beach as of the 2026 season.
- Replacing a sealed glass unit in a fixed arch or radius window: $350-$800 per opening, depending on size and curve.
- Replacing a full CGI Estate Collection arched picture window with new impact glass: $900-$2,400 per window, depending on the arch’s rise and the width.
- Hardware replacement on a CGI casement or awning: $120-$380 per window, OEM or machined aftermarket.
- Re-flashing and resealing a leaking geometric unit (frame still sound): $200-$500 per window.
- Full custom replacement for an oversized or unusually shaped CGI opening: $1,200-$3,500 per opening, which includes templating the exact shape.
What moves the price is the curve. A shallow eyebrow arch is cheaper to template and glaze than a true half-round or a trapezoid with three distinct angles. The complexity of the shape, not the brand name, drives the labor. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate; we quote from the window, not from a phone description.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Dale Kessler grew up in the Pompano Beach Highlands and spent enough summers watching salt air eat through poorly sealed frames to understand what bad glazing work really costs a homeowner over time. We bring that understanding to every CGI job we take on. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we have no reason to sell you a replacement when a repair is the right call, and no reason to push an aftermarket part when the OEM piece is still available and worth the price. We also carry working knowledge of PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if your home has mixed brands, we can quote the whole scope without passing you to another company. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves the driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
FAQs
No, not when the repair is done correctly with the right parts. Replacing a sealed glass unit or hardware does not void a CGI warranty, but using undersized glass or non-impact lamination in an impact-rated opening can. We document every part we install and register both warranty layers in writing, so you have a record of what went into the opening and why.
Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you what your warranty covers before we touch the window.
We can typically match a single CGI shaped window, including the glass tint, the frame profile, and the curve, provided the line is still in production or we can template the exact shape from the existing opening. There’s no requirement to replace every window on the wall just because one failed. If the line has been discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current match and the honest difference in appearance before you commit.
Most CGI glass units and hardware are available to us within five to ten business days, and we template the shape ourselves rather than relying on a manufacturer’s standard sizing for curved work. If it’s a true emergency, a live person answers 24/7 at (863) 591-8673 and we’ll tell you what’s possible on your timeline, not a made-up one.
If the frame is sound and the fog is confined to the glass unit, replacing the insulated glass unit is the right call and costs significantly less than a full window replacement. If the frame has rotted, if the corners show structural stress, or if the unit is old enough that the impact lamination is suspect, replacement becomes the honest answer. We’ll show you the condition of the frame while you’re standing there, so the decision is yours with the facts in front of you.
Yes, when the scope requires it under Pompano Beach building code, we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. Impact-rated replacement windows in Broward County have specific code requirements, and we don’t cut corners on something that has to hold up in a hurricane.
