AfterCGI Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent South Palm Beach Window Installation and doors service across South Palm Beach, from original jalousie replacements to full Estate Series impact slider rebuilds. The thing that makes our CGI work here different is simple: we’ve been pulling corroded frames and failed rollers out of South Palm Beach condo towers for nearly two decades, so we know which salt-exposed components fail first and what it takes to get a replacement past an HOA architectural board. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or replacement is the better spend.
Why South Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up understanding that a callback is a character flaw, not just an inconvenience. That’s the standard our crew carries into every CGI window and door job in South Palm Beach. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we answer to you and your condo board, not to a manufacturer’s sales quota. Our techs know the Estate Collection lines inside and out: which weatherstripping profiles seal tight, which balance cartridges wear first, and which factory hardware holds up under double-sided salt air. When a discontinued CGI part is no longer available, we’ll tell you plainly and offer a quality aftermarket replacement with the same fit and function. No one calls us back to fix our own work, and that’s not luck.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in South Palm Beach
- White powdery oxidation on bottom rails and sill tracks. The Atlantic is on one side of this barrier island and the Intracoastal is on the other. That means salt spray hits your CGI frames from both directions, which accelerates pitting and corrosion on the aluminum far faster than inland communities like Lake Worth see. We clean, stabilize, and reseal where the frame is sound, and we give you an honest read when it’s already too far gone.
- Roller and track failure in original CGI sliders. Salt-cemented debris sits in the track, corrodes the stainless hardware, and burns out rollers. South Palm Beach’s original 1970s and 1980s sliders show this on the Intracoastal-facing elevations just as much as on the ocean side. We rebuild the track, replace hardware with marine-grade stainless, and get the door gliding like it should.
- Thermal seal failure and fogging in older single-pane fixed units. Ocean-facing elevations take the full brunt of wind-driven rain and constant UV. Once the seal fails, the glass fogs and the unit loses its insulating value. We re-glaze where it’s viable or replace the sash when it isn’t.
- Frame warping and cracked stucco returns at lintels. High-rise units on South Palm Beach get loaded by wind-driven rain cycles that flex the frame and crack the surrounding stucco. We square the opening, reset the frame, and seal the return before the next storm finds its way in.
- Original jalousie windows that can’t pass wind mitigation. Many of the 1960s and 1970s condo towers here still have jalousies on utility rooms and balcony enclosures. These are not code-compliant impact units, and pulling them often means custom sizing. We handle the entire replacement from measurement to HOA submission to final inspection.
CGI Service in South Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
South Palm Beach is essentially one narrow strip of 1960s to 1980s oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing high-rise condominium towers. There is virtually no single-family housing stock here, which means nearly every CGI windows and doors job we do is a large-scale condo replacement project. That creates a dual-gatekeeper situation that doesn’t exist in the same way in neighboring Palm Beach or Lantana: every replacement has to satisfy both Florida Building Code impact glazing standards and the specific condo association’s architectural board, which enforces uniform facade appearance across the building. We have spent years learning how to prepare permit-ready job packages that clear both gates. We know what the boards in the towers along South Ocean Boulevard will approve, what they’ll push back on, and how to frame a replacement plan so it gets through in one meeting instead of three. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, but if the board won’t sign off, the job never starts. We handle both ends.
CGI Models & Products We Service in South Palm Beach
Our techs service the full CGI sales & service line we know from years of work on South Palm Beach coastal condos: the Estate Collection impact casement windows, Estate Series single hung windows, Estate Series impact sliding glass doors, and the Estate Collection fixed and picture windows. We use factory-specified CGI weatherstripping, rollers, balances, and marine-grade stainless hardware whenever we can. When a discontinued CGI part is no longer available or a condo board needs a faster turnaround, we recommend a quality aftermarket replacement and stand behind that choice. We keep the most commonly needed components ready for fast South Palm Beach service, because waiting on a backordered part when a storm is building is not something we’ll put you through.
CGI Service Pricing in South Palm Beach
CGI service pricing in South Palm Beach depends on what we’re fixing, the age and condition of the unit, and whether the building’s architectural board has already signed off on the work. A straightforward weatherstripping replacement runs on the lower end, while a full slider track rebuild with marine-grade hardware sits higher. A jalousie-to-impact casement conversion with custom sizing and HOA documentation lands at the top of the range. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, no surprises on the bill and no change orders after we begin. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll schedule a free estimate and give you exact numbers for your building.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
Because South Palm Beach sits on a barrier island barely a few hundred yards wide. The Atlantic is on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway is on the other, so salt spray hits your CGI frames from two directions at once. In Lake Worth, two or three miles inland, the spray is mostly one-sided and far less concentrated. That double exposure is why we see pitting and oxidation on South Palm Beach CGI frames years before the same generation shows it inland. If your windows are showing white powder at the sills, call (813) 320-9346 for an assessment. It’s better to catch it before the frame loses structural strength.
Yes, in nearly every South Palm Beach condo tower you do. The association’s architectural board must approve the replacement to keep the facade uniform across all units. We prepare the permit-ready job package with exact model specifications, finish color, and wind mitigation documentation, and we’ll submit it to the board on your behalf. Boards here know our work and generally approve standard CGI Estate Series replacements without delay. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through the exact process for your building.
On South Palm Beach, the west side of a condo faces the Intracoastal Waterway. The east side faces the Atlantic. Both are salt sources, but the west-facing units get afternoon sun heating the track and baking salt-cement into the roller assembly. That repeated thermal cycle binds the rollers faster than the shadier east side. We replace the rollers with marine-grade stainless hardware and clean the track so the South Palm Beach Door Installation glides instead of grinding. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate if your west-side slider is getting stiff.
Yes. The original jalousies in the 1960s and 1970s towers were never meant to meet post-Andrew impact standards. The rough openings are often non-standard, so the replacement usually requires custom sizing. We measure to the exact quarter-inch, order a CGI Estate Collection impact casement or fixed unit to fit, and install it with marine-grade stainless hardware. The job passes wind mitigation inspection once it’s done. Every replacement also needs board approval, which we handle as part of the job. Call (813) 320-9346 for a quote on your specific opening.
Palm Beach has a mix of estate homes and smaller condo buildings with different architectural standards and board processes. South Palm Beach is almost entirely mid-rise and high-rise condo towers from the 1960s through 1980s, with a much stricter uniform-facade approval process. The building stock here is also older on average and more exposed to double-sided salt air. That means our CGI work in South Palm Beach is more frequently large-scale replacements with custom sizing and HOA documentation than simple unit swaps. For a straight answer on your building, call (813) 320-9346.
