AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Delray Beach, from single-family CBS homes in Lake Ida to the high-rise condominium towers along A1A, and we also offer CGI in Boynton Beach. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that we’ve spent years tracking how the city’s double-salt coastal air attacks specific CGI frame components, so we know which parts fail first and how to fix them before a pre-sale inspection flags them. Our team handles everything from seized sliding glass door tracks to full building-wide impact replacements. Call (813) 320-9346 to get someone on the phone who knows CGI equipment and Delray Beach building stock.
We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CGI. We’re an independent CGI sales & service company, which means we repair and replace what’s actually broken instead of pushing a full replacement when a rebuild makes more sense.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Our technicians have worked on CGI windows and doors in hundreds of Delray Beach homes and condo units since CGI was a regional Florida manufacturer. That experience matters here specifically. Delray Beach exposes window and door hardware to salt air from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway simultaneously, and CGI products respond to that exposure in predictable ways. We recognize the oxidation pattern on an Estate Collection bottom rail after eight years of A1A exposure. We know which Classic Collection tracks seize first on older condo towers. That’s not generic window knowledge. It comes from being on the service side of the repair, not the sales side of a manufacturer’s catalog.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years in the glazing trade, and he still runs the crew. We train our technicians to measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no call center, no callback form.
We’ve served Delray Beach long enough that we act like a company planning to be here in thirty years. That’s why we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor community events in Palm Beach County. A square deal is what you get from us: upfront pricing, no surprise line items, and work that’s done right the first visit.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- White powdery oxidation on aluminum exterior bottom rails. On A1A condo towers, the combined salt air from the ocean and the Intracoastal accelerates aluminum corrosion dramatically. We typically see this on CGI Estate and Classic Collection frames within 8 to 12 years of installation in Delray Beach, much faster than inland Palm Beach County. We clean, treat, and rebuild affected rails where the frame is structurally sound, and we replace the frame when corrosion has compromised it.
- Swollen and seized CGI sliding glass door tracks. The 1970s and 80s condo buildings along the Delray Beach coast still contain original aluminum sliders that have oxidized to the point where residents can barely move them. When a unit goes up for sale, inspectors flag these doors immediately because they don’t meet current impact ratings. We replace the tracks and rollers, or install new CGI Estate Series impact sliders when the original frame is too far gone.
- EPDM seal and glazing gasket degradation from salt-laden wind. Delray Beach’s coastal exposure breaks down rubber seals faster than inland locations. The visible symptom is condensation between the panes, but the real problem is more serious: a compromised seal means the window has lost its impact interlayer integrity. In a wind zone requiring 170+ mph design pressures, that’s not something to ignore. We reglaze with OEM CGI impact glass when the frame allows, and we always check the seal condition on every service call.
- Roller and hinge corrosion in CGI casement and awning units. We see this regularly on CBS homes near the Intracoastal, especially in Lake Ida and Del Ida Park. Salt-laden air works into the hardware, causing sagging sashes and gaps that let water and wind through. Replacing corroded hinges with marine-grade hardware restores the seal and the smooth operation.
- Pre-sale inspection failures on original aluminum sliders. This is a recurring emergency call from condo sellers along South Ocean Boulevard and the surrounding A1A corridor. The door functions, but it doesn’t meet current impact standards, and the sale stalls. We handle pre-sale CGI door replacement on short notice because we know the building inventory on that stretch of coast and we keep the right parts on hand.
CGI Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach’s dense corridor of 1970s through 1980s condominium towers along A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway contains a massive stock of original aluminum single-pane windows and sliding glass doors installed before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew impact codes. Those frames have spent four decades in salt air from both directions simultaneously. The result is a failure pattern that doesn’t show up in Boca Raton or Boynton Beach at the same rate: accelerated bottom rail oxidation, swollen tracks, and EPDM seals that give out years earlier than manufacturer life estimates. Condo associations here are now under simultaneous pressure from insurers and Palm Beach County code-compliance drives to execute building-wide impact-window replacements. That creates large multi-unit CGI contracts that neighboring inland suburbs simply don’t generate. If you own a unit in one of these buildings, your board is likely already discussing it. We work directly with condo associations on multi-unit CGI replacements, staging the work floor by floor and coordinating with building management so residents aren’t caught off guard. On a building along South Ocean Boulevard, our crew replaced seized original CGI sliding glass doors in twelve units after residents complained they could barely open them. We removed corroded aluminum tracks, installed new CGI Estate Series impact sliders with stainless rollers, and the condo board approved the change because it cleared the pre-sale inspection flags that had stalled three units.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service every CGI product line still found in Delray Beach homes and condos, including the Estate Collection, Classic Collection, Targa Series, and Estate Fixed and Casement units. That covers impact windows, fixed and casement styles, single-hung and horizontal roller configurations, and impact sliding glass doors. Our parts approach is straightforward: we use OEM CGI parts for structural components like impact glass, frames, and hinges. For rollers, locks, and seals where OEM has been discontinued, we source quality marine-grade aftermarket hardware that matches or exceeds the original spec. We repair before we replace, unless the frame is corroded to the point of failure or the glass has lost its impact interlayer. We keep common CGI parts stocked locally for fast Delray Beach turnaround, so a seized slider on an A1A condo doesn’t sit unfixed for two weeks while parts ship from a warehouse.
CGI Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Typical CGI service pricing in Delray Beach:
- Roller or track replacement on a sliding glass door: $180 to $340 per panel
- Hinge and hardware rebuild on a casement or awning unit: $85 to $165
- Seal and gasket replacement on a single window or door: $96 to $140
- EPDM and gasket replacement for sliding glass door panels only: $96 to $140
- Spring or hinge (component) replacement, friction adjusters, check rails: per section, based on the unit
- Full impact glass reglaze on an Estate or Classic frame: priced by size and glass spec, quoted in writing before work starts
In Delray Beach, two things move the price more than anything else: the condition of the surrounding frame (corroded aluminum takes longer to work with safely) and the specific CGI line involved. Estate Collection units typically cost more to service than older Classic units because of the hardware design. Our estimate is free, it’s in writing, and it itemizes parts and labor separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote on your CGI windows or doors. We do not add surprise line items after the work is done.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. The double-salt exposure from the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other means that aluminum frames, rollers, hinges, and EPDM seals on A1A towers corrode significantly faster than identical units installed in inland Palm Beach County cities like Wellington. We recommend marine-grade replacement hardware and schedule seal inspections every two years on coastal Delray Beach buildings, similar to our CGI service in Deerfield Beach. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll assess your building’s corrosion exposure before recommending a maintenance cycle.
Yes, but the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board must approve the replacement window profiles and materials before work starts. The board requires period-sympathetic designs even when the glass itself is modern impact-rated. We’ve worked with homeowners in the Old School Square Historic District to prepare submittals and install CGI units that meet both the historic review requirements and current Florida Building Code wind-load ratings. That’s a process we handle end to end, including the paperwork.
Because the original aluminum sliders installed in the 1970s and 80s do not meet current impact ratings, and after four decades of salt air exposure, many of them have swollen tracks and visible oxidation that inspectors can’t miss. The door still slides, barely, but it fails the inspection and the sale stalls. We replace these with CGI Estate Series impact sliders and clear the flag. If your unit is going on the market, call (813) 320-9346 before you list. Fixing the door before inspection is cheaper than negotiating a credit after the buyer’s inspector finds it.
Yes. We work directly with condo boards and property managers on multi-unit CGI replacement contracts along the A1A corridor and throughout Delray Beach. This includes staging the work by floor, coordinating with building management, and registering both manufacturer warranty layers in writing for every unit. Our work on a South Ocean Boulevard building replaced seized original sliders in twelve units and cleared pre-sale inspection flags that had stalled three sales, and we bring that same expertise to our CGI repair in Boca Raton. Call (813) 320-9346 to discuss your building’s scope and schedule.
For Delray Beach’s 1950s through 70s concrete block stucco homes, the CGI Estate Collection fits the original rough openings more often than other lines, which means less masonry disruption and a cleaner installation. The Classic Collection works too, but in our experience on CBS homes in Lake Ida and Del Ida Park, the Estate line gives us the best combination of impact performance and dimensional fit, as it does for our CGI in Greenacres customers. We’ll measure your openings twice and quote the lines side by side on paper so you can see the difference before you decide. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free in-home estimate.
