CGI Door Installation in Pompano Beach: What to Know First

CGI door installation in Pompano Beach typically runs between $450 and $2,800 depending on the door type, site conditions, and whether we are setting a new unit or replacing hardware on an existing slab. Most single-door CGI installations are completed in one visit, with the crew on site by 8am and gone by mid-afternoon. We are an independent CGI service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we quote the work honestly and stand behind it with our own written guarantee.

This page is written for homeowners who already own CGI doors, or are about to, and want the installation done by people who understand how these doors behave in Pompano Beach heat and hurricane wind. Call (863) 591-8673 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Sagging on the Sentry Series swing door. CGI’s Sentry line uses a heavy-gauge aluminum frame with a wide stile, and we routinely see them sag at the hinge side after five or six Pompano Beach summers. The cause is usually not the hinge itself but the rough opening settling, or the original installer shimming only the hinge jamb. We pull the door, re-shim both jambs to load the weight evenly, and re-torque every hinge screw to spec. The door closes square again instead of dragging at the strike plate.
• Roller wear on Estate Series sliding doors. The Estate Series rolling panels ride on steel rollers that corrode faster in coastal air than CGI’s own installation literature leads a homeowner to expect. Symptom is a door that slides fine for two feet, then grinds. We replace the rollers with stainless or sealed-bearing aftermarket parts that outlast the originals, and we clean and lubricate the track with a marine-grade product that does not gum up in heat.
• Threshold seal separation on Estate and Sentry outswing units. The factory threshold sweep on CGI outswing doors is a vinyl fin that shrinks and pulls away from the sill after prolonged sun exposure on a west-facing Pompano Beach entry. Homeowners notice daylight under the door or water wicking in during a driving rain. We re-cut and bed the replacement sweep, then set the threshold height so the sweep compresses evenly across the entire width. The door seals tight and the finish still clears the sill.
• Lock misalignment on Tapestry collection French doors. CGI’s Tapestry French door pairs share a center astragal, and when one panel was installed a fraction out of plumb, the flush bolt never seats cleanly. The homeowner gets a deadbolt that only throws halfway and a door that rattles when the wind gusts. We re-align both slabs independently, shimming the astragal so the hardware lines up, and the bolt throws full-depth with one hand.
• Fogged glass in C-Series impact doors with an older seal design. Some early-2000s C-Series units used a single-seal insulating glass that was less forgiving of thermal shock than CGI’s current dual-seal construction. Once the seal fails, the glass fogs and cannot be repaired from the outside. We source a replacement insulated unit sized to the exact daylight opening, install it with the proper setting blocks, and register the new glass warranty in writing before we leave.

Our CGI Door Installation Process

1. 1
   Call and measure. When you call (863) 591-8673, we ask the questions that matter: which CGI line you have, whether the door was installed before or after a specific storm season, and what the door is doing now. Then we schedule a site visit and measure the opening twice, including the rough opening, because the frame may have shifted since the door was first set.
2. 2
   Diagnose on paper. We write down what we find: jamb plumb, slab square, threshold flat, hinge wear, lock throw, seal condition. You see the list before we quote, and the quote matches the list. If the door can be saved with re-shimming and hardware replacement instead of a full pull, we tell you that first.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We quote OEM CGI parts when the warranty still applies and aftermarket when the OEM part was the weak point to begin with. We put both options on paper side by side and let you choose. No hidden substitutions, no parts arriving on the truck that we did not discuss.
4. 4
   Set and shim. We pull the door, clean the rough opening, set new sill flashing if the old flashing is compromised, and shim the jambs so the door hangs in true plane. Every reveal gets checked, not eyeballed. This is where most installers rush and most doors fail later.
5. 5
   Test and document. We open and close the door a dozen times, throw every bolt, check the seal compression with a dollar bill, and note the results on the work order. You sign off, we register the warranty layers in writing, and the Done Right Promise starts that day.

What CGI Door Installation Costs in Pompano Beach

CGI door installation pricing in Pompano Beach breaks down roughly as follows.

• Swing door slab replacement, factory-finished: $450 to $900, including new weather seal and threshold sweep.
• Full swing door replacement with new frame and trim: $1,200 to $2,300, depending on the rough opening condition and the hardware package.
• Sliding door panel replacement: $800 to $1,800, with roller and track service included.
• French door pair installation, both panels: $1,600 to $2,800, including astragal alignment and full hardware set.

What moves the price is not the door model alone. It is whether the rough opening is square, whether the existing flashing can be reused, whether the thresholds are rotted, and whether we are fighting an old installation gone sideways. We quote a fixed price before we start and the bill does not change. Call (863) 591-8673 for a written line-item estimate at no cost.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We have been setting doors and windows in Pompano Beach since 2008, and in that time we have learned what salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane season do to a door that was not installed correctly. Dale Kessler grew up in the Pompano Beach Highlands and learned to read a spec sheet at Broward College before he ever sold a door, and that habit runs through every job we send a crew to. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on CGI’s specific hardware and glass packages, but we also install Andersen, Pella, PGT, so we can tell you honestly where CGI is strong and where a different product would serve you better. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, with the durations stated in plain English. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
