CGI Window Installation in Pompano Beach: What to Know First

CGI window installation in Pompano Beach typically runs $850 to $2,400 per opening depending on the series, size, and what we find once the old unit comes out. As an independent CGI service provider, we install and replace CGI casement, awning, fixed, single hung, double hung, sliding, and bay or bow windows across Pompano Beach, and most single-unit jobs are finished in one visit. We are not the cheapest bid you will get, and we’re comfortable with that. This page is for homeowners who own CGI windows, want them set square and sealed against Broward County heat and hurricane weather, and would rather call once than call around. If that’s you, call (863) 591-8673 and a live person answers, day or night.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CGI Estate Collection casements losing seal at the lower sash corner. We see this on homes within a mile of the Intracoastal more than anywhere else in Pompano Beach. Salt air works into the butyl seal at the bottom corner of the sash, the glass fogs, and the owner assumes the whole window is shot. Most of the time it’s a seal failure, not a frame failure. We pull the sash, cut out the old adhesive, reset the glass with fresh sealant rated for coastal exposure, and the window runs another ten years. Replacement only happens when the frame itself has twisted or the operator is beyond repair.
• CGI Classic series single hungs that bind when the humidity settles in May. Pompano Beach humidity swells the jamb liners on older CGI Classic hungs, and the sash starts grabbing about two-thirds of the way up. Owners call thinking the window was installed wrong. What actually happened is the jamb liner lost its tension or the balance shoe cracked. We replace the balance assembly with CGI-spec parts rather than forcing a generic shoe into the track. A forced generic part is how you end up with a window that slams shut on someone’s hand a year later.
• CGI Sentinel sliding windows with rollers that grind instead of glide. The Sentinel line uses a steel roller on an aluminum track. After enough rainy seasons in Pompano Beach, the roller bearings corrode and the window stops rolling, so the homeowner starts yanking it. That yanking bends the track. We replace the rollers before the track is damaged whenever we can. If the track is already scored, we straighten or replace it, then adjust the roller height so the sash rides level. A sliding window that does not ride level wears the track unevenly and fails again in half the time.
• Awning windows with stripped operator arms. CGI awning operators use a geared arm that strips when the window is opened against a gust off the beach. We replace the operator with an aftermarket assembly that matches the CGI mounting pattern, then set the friction so the window holds position without drifting. The fix is straightforward. The reason to catch it early is that a stripped operator left alone lets the sash hang on the hinge, and then the hinge bends, and now it’s a bigger repair than it needed to be.
• Fixed and picture windows where the exterior glazing bead cracks from UV exposure. CGI fixed units use a vinyl glazing bead that Pompano Beach sun bakes brittle in eight to ten years. The bead cracks, water creeps behind it, and the homeowner sees a fogged corner on an east-facing window. We pull the old bead, clean the channel, lay in new bead specific to the CGI extrusion profile, and the unit is sealed again. It’s a small part that does a big job, and using the wrong bead profile is the difference between a window that seats and one that whistles in a storm.

Our CGI Window Installation Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree. We ask what the window is doing, where it’s located, and whether it’s a CGI series you know. We schedule a time and we show up when we say we will.
2. 2
   We measure twice and diagnose the real problem. Before quoting anything, we check the frame for square, the sash for racking, the seals, the hardware, and the rough opening. A CGI window that looks like it needs replacing often needs two new balances and a resealed sash. We’ll tell you which.
3. 3
   We quote on paper, side by side. If replacement is the honest call, we lay out OEM CGI options next to comparable aftermarket lines like Andersen, Pella, or PGT. You see exactly what each costs and what you’re getting. No verbal numbers that change later.
4. 4
   We do the install without cutting corners on the flashing. That means setting the window plumb and square, shimming the frame properly, sealing the perimeter against Pompano Beach wind-driven rain, and registering both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty.
5. 5
   We test the window while you watch. We cycle the sash, check the lock engagement, check the drainage, and make sure the window closes against its seals. If a pane is even slightly out of true, we correct it before we call the job finished. The founding rule still governs: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   We clean up and stand behind it. The site is left the way we found it, and every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we return and make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

What CGI Window Installation Costs in Pompano Beach

CGI window installation costs vary by series, size, and condition. Straightforward single-unit replacements in Pompano Beach typically fall in the $850 to $1,600 range for smaller fixed or single hung windows. Larger casements, sliders, and bay or bow configurations run $1,800 to $2,400 or more depending on depth, finish, and what the existing rough opening allows. The price moves on three main things: whether we’re replacing a sash or the full frame, whether the opening needs flashing correction or framing work, and whether you choose OEM CGI or a comparable aftermarket line from Andersen, Pella, or PGT. We quote fixed numbers in writing before any work starts. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a real number, not a ballpark.
