AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Sewall’s Point, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Sewall’s Point, FL, from roller replacements and track rebuilds to full impact-rated system installs. The difference here comes down to one fact: every home on this peninsula sits inside a salt-air corrosion zone that mainland crews never contend with. We’ve been glazing, sealing, and rebuilding CGI systems on the Treasure Coast for years, and we know what lagoon air does to aluminum. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
TruePane Windows & Doors is not a CGI dealer or manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent service provider, which means we recommend the fix that serves your house, not the one that moves inventory. Our CGI sales & service work spans the full product line, and our service area includes every street in Sewall’s Point service area, from South Sewall’s Point Road to the northern tip.
Why Sewall’s Point Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, and he grew up in a trades family where a callback was considered a character flaw. That’s not marketing language. It’s the rule we still run the shop by. When a homeowner on South Sewall’s Point Road calls about a CGI slider that won’t open, we send a tech who has rebuilt that exact hinge, that exact roller assembly, that exact interlock track on other peninsula homes. No learning curve on your dime.
Our crew has worked on CGI aluminum and impact systems across hundreds of Treasure Coast homes, including the peninsula-specific failures that define Sewall’s Point. That history means we stock the right hardware before we show up, we quote the repair versus replacement decision in plain language, and we don’t pad the bill with parts you don’t need. Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sewall’s Point
- Salt-seized sliding door tracks. On CGI sliders, the interlock track is where salt, sand, and old grease combine into a crust that seizes rollers within 8 to 12 years. East and southeast elevations get hit hardest, but on Sewall’s Point, even north-facing doors take lagoon salt from winter fronts. We strip the track, recondition it if the aluminum is sound, and replace the roller assemblies with marine-grade stainless steel.
- Flattened stainless steel rollers. Factory grease in CGI roller assemblies doesn’t stay put forever. Marine salt mixes with it, the bearings bind, and the roller wheel flattens on one side. That’s when the door drags hard or jumps off track. We replace with genuine CGI hardware because aftermarket stainless in this air often fails before the next annual service.
- Sagging out-swing impact doors. Older CGI Estate Collection models with wrap-around hinges develop sag at the hinge line after enough hurricane pressure cycles. The door won’t seat properly against the compression gasket, and you’ll see daylight or feel draft at the top corner. We re-true the leaf and hinge alignment, and if the gasket has taken a set, we replace it.
- Condensation and salt haze between panes. Big fixed picture windows on CGI Sentinel Impact Series units lose gasket memory in constant humidity. The glazing gasket shrinks, the seal lets go, and you get condensation that leaves a visible salt film inside the insulated glass unit. We replace the IGU and set new gaskets, then check the frame’s weep path so the next tide-driven rain doesn’t pool.
- Corroded locks and keepers on casement windows. CGI casements get hard to operate in summer, not from rust you can see, but from salt crystallization inside the operator channel and lock mechanism. We disassemble, clean, and if the keeper’s plating is compromised, we install genuine CGI stainless replacements.
CGI Service in Sewall’s Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Sewall’s Point is a narrow peninsula entirely surrounded by the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon, every home receives salt-laden wind from all four quadrants. There is no “protected” side of the house here. We treat even north-facing CGI frames as Exposure D for hardware selection and replacement intervals, which means we specify marine-grade stainless rollers, locks, and keepers on every repair, not just the ones facing the lagoon. A Stuart mainland crew sees inland elevations that never get this level of salt saturation. On Sewall’s Point, that kind of elevation doesn’t exist. Contractors working the island regularly find sliding glass door tracks on homes just 8 to 12 years old already seized with salt corrosion, a failure timeline that surprises homeowners who moved from inland Florida but is immediately recognizable to any tech who has worked this peninsula. Many of the town’s custom homes date from the 1960s through the 1990s, with original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie windows that are now both corrosion-compromised and non-compliant with Martin County hurricane-impact code. The lagoon air doesn’t skip the older houses or the newer ones. It takes them all on the same schedule.
On South Sewall’s Point Road, our tech pulled a two-panel CGI Sentinel slider on a 2012 custom build with a track so crusted in lagoon salt that both stainless rollers had seized and the stationary panel sheared a corner gasket. We replaced the OEM roller assemblies with marine-grade stainless units, cleaned and re-lubed the track, and added an impact-rated weep baffle to stop the next tide-driven salt intrusion. The door now glides with one hand, and the homeowner no longer hears it whistle at night.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Sewall’s Point
We service the full CGI lineup you find on Sewall’s Point homes: the Sentinel Impact Series, the Estate Collection, the Targa Series, and the Classic Line. That covers impact sliding glass doors, hurricane impact windows, casements, picture windows, and out-swing impact entry doors.
On the parts side, we specify genuine CGI replacement hardware for rollers, locks, and keepers. Marine-grade stainless is the standard in this air. We only recommend full unit replacement when corrosion has eaten into the mitered corner keys or the load-bearing sill track. At that point, a patch won’t hold, and we’ll say so plainly. We keep common CGI replacement hardware stocked locally so Sewall’s Point turnaround is measured in days, not weeks.
CGI Service Pricing in Sewall’s Point
CGI service pricing in Sewall’s Point depends on what failed and how far the corrosion has traveled. Simple roller replacements and track cleanings run lower; full IGU replacements and hinge rebuilds run higher because the parts are genuine CGI and the labor is detail work. Every estimate is a written line-item quote, so you see exactly what you’re buying before we start. That’s the square deal, and it applies to every job we do on the peninsula.
We follow a repair-before-replace standard, but we don’t stretch a failing unit past its useful life. If the corner keys are gone or the sill track is load-compromised, we’ll tell you and show you why. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free estimate. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Sewall’s Point
Marine salt from the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon mixes with original factory grease inside the roller assemblies, and the bearings bind and flatten. On Sewall’s Point, this happens on all elevations, not just lagoon-facing ones, because the peninsula gets salt-laden wind from every quadrant. Replacing the rollers with genuine CGI marine-grade stainless units is typically the fix. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a look, estimates are free.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the existing CGI frames are structurally sound with intact mitered corner keys, we can often set impact-rated laminated glass and upgrade the hardware. If salt corrosion has reached the corner keys or the load-bearing sill, a full unit replacement is the honest answer. We’ll inspect and give you a written quote either way.
Constant salt-laden humidity accelerates finish degradation, especially where the factory coating has any micro-abrasion from install or weather. Bronze finishes show salt haze and pitting first. Our cleaning and reconditioning process removes salt deposits, and we’ll tell you honestly when a finish is beyond restoration.
No. Properly installed and sealed CGI impact-rated windows and doors satisfy Martin County code for windborne debris protection, which means you don’t need additional shutters for code compliance. The key is that they must be installed to the manufacturer’s spec and with the correct anchoring. We verify this as part of our wind mitigation and code compliance service.
Salt crystallization inside the operator channel and lock mechanism is the usual culprit. You won’t see rust, but the salt crystals create friction in the channel and the operator gear. We disassemble, clean, re-lubricate, and replace any keeper or lock with compromised plating. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote, the estimate is free.
