CGI Impact Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
CGI impact windows and doors in Pompano Beach typically cost between $900 and $3,800 per opening installed, depending on the series, size, and whether you’re replacing glass, hardware, or the entire frame. We service CGI products as an independent provider, which means we diagnose the actual problem, quote OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side on paper, and finish most repairs in a single visit. If you own CGI windows or doors that bind, leak, fog, or won’t latch clean after a storm, this page tells you what’s actually going on and what it costs to make it right. Call (863) 591-8673 and a live person answers.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid product, but Pompano Beach does not go easy on aluminum and glass. Salt air, afternoon squalls, and the humidity that never quite leaves have a way of finding every weak joint. Here’s what we see on CGI jobs in this area, series by series.
- Sentinel Series casement windows: crank operator drift. The Sentinel multi-point locking system relies on a gear-and-arm operator that wears unevenly in coastal conditions. The symptom is a window that cranks halfway, then binds, or a handle that spins without engaging. We replace the operator and re-align the sash to factory spec rather than forcing the hardware. Most of these jobs take under two hours.
- Estate Collection sliding glass doors: roller replacements done wrong. These doors are heavy. Mill finish aluminum rollers corrode from salt exposure and eventually flatten, leaving a door that drags or jams. We see a lot of doors where someone swapped in a generic roller that doesn’t match the track radius. That’s a door that will bind again in a year. We use rollers matched to the track profile, and we set the door height so the interlock engages without scraping.
- Targa single-hung windows: balance shoe failures. The Targa series uses a block-and-tackle balance system that does not love sand and salt. When a window won’t stay up, homeowners assume the spring is broken. Often it’s the pivot shoe that’s seized or cracked. Replacing the shoe is a fraction of the cost of a full balance replacement, and we quote it that way.
- HurricaneShield and non-impact lines: seal failures along the glazing bead. We replace a fair number of insulated glass units on older CGI windows where the glazing bead has hardened and shrunk. Water sits in the channel, and eventually the seal fails and the glass fogs between the panes. We pull the sash, replace the glazing tape and setting blocks, and set the new unit square. Most IGU replacements on CGI windows are a same-day job.
- Frame-to-wall leaks on retrofits. Half the “CGI problems” we’re called to fix were installed wrong the first time: no backer rod, caulk smeared over dirt, weep holes painted shut. On a CGI window, a leak at the sill usually means the pan flashing or sill dam was done incorrectly, not that the window itself failed. We don’t patch around a bad install. We pull the trim, find the intrusion point, and re-seal the opening the way the manufacturer’s detail sheet specifies.
Our CGI Impact Windows & Doors Process
When you call us about a CGI window or door, here’s how the job goes from start to finish. No mystery, no surprise line items, and no second appointment left hanging.
- 1
Phone diagnosis and honest scoping. A live person answers. We ask what the window or door is doing, when it started, and which series you have if you know it. We’ll tell you over the phone if it sounds like a repair, a replacement, or something we need to see in person.
- 2
On-site inspection with a straight answer. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives when we say. We measure every opening twice - the habit is second nature at this point - and tell you what’s actually wrong. No upsell, no scare talk.
- 3
Written quote, side by side. We write out OEM CGI parts pricing next to quality aftermarket options on the same page, with labor separated. You decide. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
- 4
The repair or replacement. Most CGI work is completed in one visit. We carry the common Sentinel, Estate, and Targa hardware on the truck, and we can order anything unusual the same week.
- 5
Operation test and sealing check. Every window and door we touch gets operated through its full travel, and we check seals with a water test where it makes sense. If it isn’t right when we’re standing there, it gets fixed before we leave.
- 6
The Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every CGI job we do.
What CGI Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Pompano Beach
Here’s what we charge in the Pompano Beach market, based on the jobs we run most often. These are installed ranges, parts and labor together.
| Job | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Replacement impact glass unit (IGU) on a CGI window | $450-$900 per sash |
| Casement window operator replacement (Sentinel series) | $180-$380 per window |
| Sliding glass door roller replacement (Estate Collection) | $250-$650 per door panel |
| Balance shoe and spring replacement (Targa single-hung) | $140-$280 per window |
| Full-frame window replacement, impact-rated, mid-size | $1,900-$3,800 per opening |
| Full impact sliding glass door replacement | $4,500-$9,500 per door |
| Seal and flashing repair (frame-to-wall leak) | $400-$1,200 per opening |
What moves the price is the series, whether the frame itself is salvageable, and the condition of the existing flashing and fasteners. Full-frame replacement costs more because we’re pulling the old buck, re-flashing, and re-setting the window to current wind mitigation standards for Pompano Beach. We quote fixed prices with no change orders, and you get the number before we start. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate on your specific window or door.
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 actually costs a homeowner over time. That’s why our techs measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before leaving the driveway. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we have no quota to push you into a full replacement when a $200 repair restores the window. And because we’re also authorized installers for, and PGT, we can give you an honest comparison if your CGI window or door is at the end of its service life. A live person answers every call, 24/7, backed by a company that plans to be in town in thirty years. Most CGI jobs are completed in a single visit, and every one is covered by the Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
FAQs
Yes. As an independent service provider, our work does not void your CGI manufacturer warranty - we use OEM or properly matched parts and follow CGI installation specifications. We document everything and register work in writing when the manufacturer’s process allows. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll help you figure out what your warranty actually covers before any work begins.
We source replacement insulated glass units through channels that match the original CGI glass thickness, tint, and Low-E coating. In most cases the replacement is indistinguishable. For frame components, we use OEM CGI parts where available and quality aftermarket equivalents when the OEM part has been discontinued. We quote both on paper so you choose with the facts in front of you.
Most Estate Collection roller replacements and track cleanings are done the same day we come out, because we stock the common CGI roller profiles. A door that jumps the track or has a bent frame section may take a second visit if we need to order a specialized part, but we’ll tell you that over the phone before you schedule the first appointment. Call (863) 591-8673 for an exact timeline.
Repair is almost always the better call when the frame is square, the glass is intact, and the failure is hardware, seals, or flashing. A window with a failed seal but a sound frame is typically a $450-$900 IGU replacement, not a multi-thousand-dollar full replacement. Full replacement makes sense when the frame is corroded through, the window no longer meets current wind mitigation codes, or you want a different performance level. We’ll show you both numbers and let you decide - no pressure, written out, side by side.
When the job requires a permit - which full-frame impact window and door replacements in Pompano Beach generally do - we pull it, schedule the inspection, and see it through to pass. We’re not a company that asks you to handle the paperwork. You’ll know the permit status before the first fastener comes out. Call (863) 591-8673 for details on your specific project.
