AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Shores, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service throughout Palm Beach Shores, from full-frame impact replacements on 1960s condos to hardware swaps on Estate Collection sliders that have seized from salt corrosion. The difference here is the island itself: every opening takes salt-laden wind from the Atlantic on one side and Lake Worth Lagoon on the other, sometimes within the same afternoon. That means our CGI repairs in Palm Beach Shores default to marine-grade stainless hardware and stainless track components, not the standard aluminum CGI ships. Call us at (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free estimate. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and CGI sales & service is a core part of what we do.
Why Palm Beach Shores Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Our techs have rebuilt hundreds of CGI frames and panels across Palm Beach Shores specifically, which is the kind of repetition that teaches you things a parts catalog never will. We know where Estate Collection casements pit first, which slider tracks bind, why lagoon-side picture windows fog before ocean-side ones do. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in Seminole Heights learning the trade his father practiced for thirty years, and the standard he carries is simple: fix it right the first time, and if it needs to be in writing to be true, we’ll put it in writing. We’re not CGI-authorized, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is experienced with their product lines, honest about what should be repaired versus replaced, and familiar with Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris codes on a street-by-street level. When a Palm Beach Shores condo association flags jalousie windows during an insurance renewal, we can usually have an answer on fitment and cost within days, not weeks.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach Shores
- White powdery oxidation on Estate Collection casement rails. The lower exterior aluminum rails on these units start showing pitting within 5 to 8 years in Palm Beach Shores, driven by the dual-shore salt spray. If the original hardware is standard aluminum, the corrosion is worse. We clean, treat, and replace with marine-grade stainless where the metal is still structurally sound.
- Fogging in insulated glass units on lagoon-side picture windows. The afternoon wind off Lake Worth Lagoon carries salt straight into west-facing glass, and seal failure shows up first on those elevations. We can replace the IGU without pulling the whole frame when the corner welds are intact.
- Dragging or binding Estate Sliding Glass Doors. The stock rollers CGI ships are not stainless. In Palm Beach Shores’s salt air, they corrode into orange dust and the track pits through. We replace with sealed stainless aftermarket rollers and marine-grade track caps.
- Weep-hole blockage causing water intrusion at first-floor sills. Salt crystallization and wind-driven sand accumulate in the weep holes of Atlantic-facing impact units, and the first heavy rain sends water inside. We clear the channels and install protective covers so the drainage works year-round.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversions on mid-century condos. Many 1950s to 1970s buildings in Palm Beach Shores still have original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. CGI Barcelona Series impact casements often fit the existing rough openings without masonry work, which keeps the building department and the condo board happy.
CGI Service in Palm Beach Shores: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact most window companies don’t tell you: Palm Beach Shores is the only municipality in Palm Beach County where the entire town sits on a barrier island less than 2,000 feet wide from ocean to lagoon. That means every Palm Beach Shores Window Installation and door in town is hit by salt-laden wind from both the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon, often on the same day. The salt deposition is roughly double what an oceanfront home in Riviera Beach or the southern tip of Singer Island receives. What that means for your CGI equipment is specific: standard aluminum rollers, hinges, and track caps fail years earlier here than they would a mile inland. When we service CGI products in Palm Beach Shores, stainless steel and marine-grade hardware is the baseline, not an upsell. We spec it from the first visit because we’d rather replace a roller once than come back in three years to do it again.
We saw this play out on a condo at the corner of Edwards Lane and Inlet Way. The owner called because an Estate Collection sliding glass door had seized halfway. Our tech pulled the panel and found the original steel rollers had corroded into orange dust, and the bottom track was pitted through in two spots. We cleaned the track, installed stainless aftermarket rollers with sealed bearings, replaced the track cap with a Palm Beach Shores Door Installation-grade profile, and documented the repair for the owner’s wind mitigation report. The door glides now, and the fix is built for this island’s air.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach Shores
We work on the full CGI Estate Collection line: impact casement and picture windows, the Estate Sliding Glass Door, and the Estate French Door. We also service Barcelona Series impact casements and fixed windows, which show up frequently in Palm Beach Shores condo retrofits. Our parts approach is pragmatic. When a CGI unit is structurally sound, with frame, glass, and corner welds intact, we repair using OEM parts where they’re available and marine-grade aftermarket hardware where the stock CGI parts aren’t suited to this environment. We only recommend full replacement when the frame is corroded through, the insulated glass has failed beyond a reseal, or the unit no longer meets current Palm Beach County wind-borne debris impact requirements. We keep common components stocked locally so Palm Beach Shores jobs don’t wait on shipping.
CGI Service Pricing in Palm Beach Shores
CGI window and door service in Palm Beach Shores typically runs $180 to $340 for common hardware repairs like roller swaps, weatherstripping, and balance replacements. Larger jobs like insulated glass unit replacement or full-frame impact conversions vary by size and condition, but a written line-item quote before work starts is standard on every job we do. Here’s what drives cost in this town: marine-grade hardware runs slightly more than standard aluminum, and full-frame replacements on 1960s condos sometimes require concrete work if the original opening has shifted. Our free estimate covers the full scope, in writing, with both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and a live person answers the phone.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Shores
You need marine-grade stainless hardware. Standard aluminum hardware in Palm Beach Shores corrodes within a few years due to the dual-shore salt exposure, and replacing it later costs more than installing stainless from the start. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll inspect your current hardware during a free estimate.
In many cases, yes. CGI Barcelona Series impact casements can often be sized to fit the original rough openings in Palm Beach Shores’s mid-century condo buildings, which avoids masonry work and speeds up the association approval. We’ll measure each opening twice and give you a written fitment assessment before any order is placed.
Because the afternoon wind off Lake Worth Lagoon drives salt-laden air directly into west-facing glass, which breaks down the IGU seal on that elevation first. We can replace just the insulated glass unit on most CGI picture windows when the frame is still sound. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule an inspection.
Yes. Palm Beach Shores sits on a barrier island less than 2,000 feet wide, so CGI slider tracks and rollers see roughly double the salt deposition of inland installations. We replace stock steel rollers with sealed stainless aftermarket rollers and marine-grade track caps as a standard practice here.
Yes. Full-frame replacement is the right call when the aluminum has pitted through, and we handle it as a standalone service, not a rushed add-on. We’ll document everything, pull permits if needed, and register both warranty layers in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on the replacement scope.
