AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service serving Atlantis, FL, for homeowners whose original mid-century impact systems or newer CGI installations need repair, hardware replacement, or a full retrofit. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different: we know which specific CGI components fail first in Atlantis’s salt-laden air and golf-course sprinkler environment, and we fix them without replacing the whole frame when it’s still sound. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on any CGI repair or replacement in Atlantis.
Why Atlantis Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Seminole Heights, learned the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, and has spent the better part of two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across the Tampa Bay area. He still lives about six blocks from where he learned to ride a bike, and the founding rule he keeps on the whiteboard is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every CGI window we touch in Atlantis.
Our techs have rebuilt CGI windows and doors in over 200 Atlantis homes, from first-generation Estate series to current Estate and Tribute lines. We know CGI’s frame extrusions, composite gaskets, and Sentry hardware from cycles of corrosion, seal failure, and hurricane repairs in this exact coastal microclimate. We are an independent CGI service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we recommend what’s right for your Atlantis home, not what a brand program tells us to push. Our team includes background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. A live person answers our phone 24/7.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Atlantis
- Jalousie conversions on 1960s Atlantis ranches: Original CGI Estate single-hung balances stick or free-fall when salt air corrodes the coil springs and wear strips, causing uppermost sashes to drop during daily use. We replace the balances and re-set the sash alignment so the window holds position at any height.
- Seized espag locking rods on east-facing casement windows: Salt air eats through factory-installed zinc rods at hinge points after two or three winter storm cycles. The multi-point lock then refuses to engage. We machine stainless replacement rods and locks, which hold up far better in Atlantis’s coastal exposure.
- Dry, cracked factory gaskets on fixed windows: Atlantis’s 1960s-era sprinkler overspray near fairways accelerates gasket shrinkage. Water finds its way to weep holes, clogs them, and hidden sill pan rot begins beneath the frame. We replace gaskets and clear drainage paths before the frame pocket warps beyond repair.
- Delaminated sliding door rollers: Atlantis’s sandy, chlorinated pool-splash environment causes CGI Estate sliding door rollers to delaminate after seven to ten years. Tracks pit, doors drag, and jambs wear unevenly. We install machined-aftermarket stainless steel rollers that resist the same corrosion cycle.
- Hurricane-cycle seal failure on older Estate frames: Homes built before Florida’s post-Andrew impact standards often have CGI frames with worn weatherstripping and weakened corner keys. We inspect, reseal, and re-key frames where the metal is still true, and we’ll tell you plainly when a full replacement is the honest call.
CGI Service in Atlantis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact that shapes nearly every CGI service call we run in Atlantis: the city’s HOA-style municipal code effectively bans exterior hurricane shutters visible from the street on most homes. That means almost every storm retrofit here must use impact windows and doors with custom anodized bronze frames, a requirement virtually unknown in bordering Lake Worth or Greenacres. For CGI owners, this translates into a very specific hardware profile. We regularly see CGI Estate and Tribute windows with bronze anodized frames that have been asked to do double duty, hold impact glass against Atlantic wind-borne debris while matching the mid-century architectural character the city expects. When salt air and sprinkler overspray hit those custom frames, the failure points are predictable: window hardware at the coastal exposure, sill pans under fixed glass, and sliding door tracks facing pool decks. We carry the replacement hardware and sealing materials that match this exact Atlantis profile, so you’re not waiting on a generic parts order while a hurricane season approaches.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Atlantis
We service the full CGI lineup found in Atlantis homes, including the Estate Series Impact Windows, Tribute Series Impact Windows, the Commercial/Architectural Series used in mid-century renovations, and the Estate Sliding Glass Door. When CGI OEM parts are delayed or discontinued for pre-2000 Estate frames, we source machined-aftermarket stainless steel rollers, locks, and springs from South Florida hurricane-hardware distributors. We stock the most common CGI hardware for Atlantis’s specific failure patterns locally, which keeps most repair turnarounds short. If a frame pocket is warped or a sill pan has rotted from long-term saltwater and sprinkler corrosion, we’ll tell you straight that replacement is the honest call. We do not replace frames that are still true, and we do not pad a repair into a replacement.
CGI Service Pricing in Atlantis
What drives CGI repair cost in Atlantis is usually hardware access and frame condition. A balance replacement on a single-hung Estate window typically runs $180 to $340. A full espag rod and multi-point lock replacement on a casement window runs $250 to $580, depending on the number of locking points. Sliding door roller replacement falls between $220 and $520 for most Atlantis homes. Full impact window replacement starts around $900 to $2,400 per opening for mid-range CGI product, and a complete impact retrofit of a 2,000-square-foot ranch can run $18,000 to $45,000, with custom bronze anodized frames adding 10-20% on top. Our free estimate includes a written line-item quote, both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote on your Atlantis home.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis
In Atlantis, shutters visible from the street are effectively banned by the HOA-style municipal code, so impact windows are your real compliance path, not a bolt-on alternative. If your home still has original jalousie windows, they are almost certainly non-compliant with current Florida wind-load standards, and a conversion to CGI Estate or Tribute impact windows is the cleanest fix. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk your property and tell you exactly which openings need what.
In most cases, the balances can be restored. The coil springs and wear strips are the parts that fail in Atlantis’s salt air, and those are replaceable without pulling the frame. If the frame pocket itself is warped or corroded through, then replacement is the honest call. We inspect the frame before we touch the hardware, and we’ll tell you which way it goes.
The seizing is almost always the factory zinc espag rods rusting at the hinge points. We replace those rods with machined stainless versions, rebuild the multi-point lock, and reglaze with the correct laminated impact glass. The fix holds through multiple storm cycles. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on the specific windows that are giving you trouble.
The bronze anodized finish holds up well on the frame face, but the hardware attached to it does not. In fairway-adjacent Atlantis homes, we see the finish stay true while the gaskets and locking hardware degrade from constant moisture and mineral deposits. We recommend stainless replacement hardware and a specific sealing protocol on fairway-facing openings. We’ll show you exactly what that means for your house when we walk it.
Yes. The Tribute Series is designed with narrower frame profiles and can be configured as fixed-pane assemblies that read close to original mid-century sightlines. For Atlantis homes where the fixed-pane wall is a defining architectural feature, Tribute series with simulated divided lites and bronze anodized frames is the closest compliant match we’ve found. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll bring side-by-side samples so you can see it in your own living room light.
