AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Wellington, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, an independent CGI service provider working across Wellington and offering CGI repair in Royal Palm Beach, and the short answer is this: we cut out, replace, and service CGI impact windows and doors in this village every week, and because Wellington sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, we can legally spec CGI product with standard Florida Product Approval instead of the pricier Miami-Dade NOA rating. That one fact saves Wellington homeowners real money on oversized impact glass, and it is not something every South Florida contractor gets right. We have been at this since 2008, and Dale Kessler still runs the floor on the same rule he started with: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (813) 320-9346 any time, a live person answers.
Why Wellington Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We know CGI product the way a mechanic knows a particular engine family, and we bring that same expertise to CGI in Greenacres, because we have been pulling these units out of Wellington homes since well before the 2004 statewide impact-code overhaul changed what got installed in the first place. Our crew has cut out original CGI Estate single-hungs from 1980s CBS-block tract homes in Binks Forest and Olympia, and we have set oversized Targa casements into multi-acre equestrian estates in Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill. Nobody in Wellington has to explain to us what a Florida Product Approval number means or why an insurance carrier asks for it. We stock OEM CGI glass packs, balances, and rollers for the Estate and Targa lines, so when a Wellington homeowner calls with a failed seal or a worn slider track, we usually have the part on the truck the first trip.
And we are an independent service provider. CGI does not own us, pay us, or direct our work. That means when we tell a Wellington homeowner they need a full-frame replacement instead of a rebuild on a corroded original unit, we are giving them straight math, not a manufacturer script. Dale grew up in Seminole Heights and picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, spending more time on the shop floor than in a classroom seat. That suited him fine. He has spent the better part of two decades setting and sealing windows and doors across Florida, and the work he is best known for is storm-rated installation done tight enough that a follow-up inspection is never a surprise.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Wellington
- White powdery oxidation on lower aluminum frame rails. This shows up most on CGI Estate units facing Wellington’s late-afternoon convective thunderstorms, especially west-facing elevations in Binks Forest. Years of driving rain and intense UV pit the anodized aluminum, and eventually the frame starts to chalk. We strip, treat, or replace depending on whether the structural integrity is still there.
- Seal failure and fogging between panes. Original CGI dual-pane units installed in the early 2000s Olympia phase are now well past their expected seal life. Wellington’s year-round humidity accelerates the breakdown, and once the hermetic seal fails, the glass fogs and the insulating value drops to nearly nothing. We replace the insulated glass unit and re-seal properly.
- Roller and track wear on CGI Estate sliding glass doors. This is a Palm Beach Polo and equestrian estate signature problem. Pool splash, irrigation mist, and Wellington’s hard water cause premature pitting on stainless steel tracks, and the rollers grind until the door binds. We replace rollers and realign tracks, and we tell homeowners which track materials hold up better against irrigation overspray.
- Sagging or misaligned panels on oversized CGI Estate fixed picture windows. Mallet Hill custom homes often have large fixed panels set into original rough openings that were undersized from the day they were framed. The glass unit is fine, but the frame was never properly supported, so the panel sags over time. We re-rough the opening and reset the frame so the sightlines stay straight.
- Failed brass rollers and worn locking hardware on CGI Targa casements. Wellington’s humidity attacks hardware faster than people expect. Casement operators, locking points, and hinge hardware corrode, and the window either will not close tight or will not lock at all. We carry OEM replacement hardware and can restore an impact casement to full function in one visit.
CGI Service in Wellington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the piece of local knowledge that changes how CGI service works in Wellington, and it is not something you will read on a generic window repair page. Wellington’s residential build-out happened mostly between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, which means thousands of planned-community homes in this village have original aluminum-frame single-pane windows and sliding glass doors that were installed well before Florida’s post-2004 impact-code overhaul. Those homes sit squarely inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and insurance carriers operating in Wellington are increasingly issuing non-renewal notices to homeowners with non-impact fenestration. That makes code-compliance replacement the dominant driver on virtually every CGI job we do here, not cosmetic upgrading. The window was not ugly. The insurance company just said replace it or lose the policy. And because Wellington sits roughly 12 miles inland but still inside the wind-borne debris region, every replacement window and door must carry valid Florida Product Approval, a requirement that surprises homeowners who assumed inland distance exempted them. We have sat at kitchen tables in Olympia and Wellingtons Edge and walked homeowners through exactly what their carrier will accept, and what product rating actually satisfies the Palm Beach County building department. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Wellington
We service the full CGI residential line you are likely to find in Wellington: the Estate Collection including Estate single-hung and fixed picture impact windows, the Estate Impact Sliding Glass Door, the Targa Series including Targa impact casements, and the CGI Casement Impact Window. When a repair calls for a part, we use OEM CGI components whenever they are the right call. But we are also honest with Wellington homeowners about the math: for most post-1994 builds, a corroded aluminum frame on an original Estate unit is not worth rebuilding. Full-frame replacement with a current CGI product that carries a fresh Florida Product Approval is usually the better dollar-for-dollar decision, and we show that comparison on paper before any work starts. Our Wellington service truck runs stocked with common CGI glass packs, balances, and rollers so we can turn most repairs around without a second trip.
CGI Service Pricing in Wellington
CGI repair pricing in Wellington runs roughly $185 to $420 for most service calls, depending on what failed. Seal replacement on a dual-pane insulated glass unit typically starts around $350, while full-frame replacement of an original CGI Estate unit with a current impact-rated product starts around $1,800 and goes up with size and sightline requirements. What drives the cost here is less the labor and more which product rating you are replacing with. Here is the honest breakdown:
- Seal failure / fogged glass repair: $350-$720 per unit, OEM insulated glass pack
- Roller and track replacement on Estate sliding door: $180-$320, parts and realignment
- Hardware replacement on Targa casement: $160-$280, OEM operators and locking points
- Full-frame impact replacement, single window: $1,800-$3,400 installed, Florida Product Approval registered
- Oversized Estate sliding door replacement: $4,500-$9,000 depending on panel width and track spec

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Wellington
Florida Product Approval is enough. Wellington is in Palm Beach County, which is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Miami-Dade and Broward, so a CGI product with standard Florida Product Approval satisfies both the building department and insurance carriers here, just as it does for our Palm Beach Gardens CGI service customers. You do not pay the Miami-Dade NOA premium, and any contractor who tells you otherwise is either wrong or up-charging you. Call (813) 320-9346 if you want us to verify your existing product ratings before you spend a dollar.
In most Binks Forest homes, you can replace a single failed unit without triggering a whole-elevation upgrade, because the existing opening already held an impact-rated product or qualifies for like-for-like replacement under Palm Beach County’s current code. If the original unit is non-impact and the insurance carrier is demanding code compliance, the conversation changes. We will tell you what code actually requires before you commit to anything.
That white powder is aluminum oxidation, and in Olympia it is accelerated by Wellington’s late-afternoon thunderstorms, intense UV, and year-round humidity attacking the anodized finish on original CGI Estate frames. It starts cosmetic, but left alone it will pit the frame and weaken the seal. We can treat early oxidation, but once the frame is structurally pitted, replacement is the honest fix.
Sometimes yes. Oversized sliding glass doors on equestrian estates often span wider openings than the original framing was designed for, and the real problem is not the door, it is the rough opening. We check the header, the king studs, and the track support before we touch the door. If the opening is undersized or under-supported, we correct it, and that is the difference between a door that glides for twenty years and one that binds again in eighteen months.
Yes. Wellington is in Palm Beach County, outside the HVHZ, so Florida Product Approval fully satisfies wind-mitigation requirements and the insurance discount eligibility. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we provide the documentation your carrier wants to see.
