AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We are TruePane Windows & Doors, an independent CGI sales & service provider serving Edgewood, and the short answer is this: we service, repair, and replace every major CGI window and door line, using genuine OEM parts when they preserve the original DP rating and fit. What makes our CGI work different in Edgewood is that we know this city’s homes are almost all concrete-block ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s, with original aluminum frames that were never built for today’s wind-load code or for the MCO departure noise that sits over parts of this city. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will give you a straight answer on what your CGI equipment needs.
Why Edgewood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Our crews have been disassembling and rebuilding CGI windows and doors across Edgewood’s mostly-original concrete-block ranches for over a decade, so we know exactly which CGI models fit the city’s narrow retrofits and how they hold up under MCO noise and Central Florida humidity. Dale Kessler 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, which suited him fine. That means the person quoting your CGI repair has actually done the repair, not just read a spec sheet. We answer the phone with a live person around the clock, we show up on time, and we measure every opening twice before we quote anything. Edgewood homeowners do not put up with vague estimates, and neither do we.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Edgewood
- IGU seal failure from UV and humidity cycles. Edgewood gets intense year-round sun, and south- or west-facing CGI picture windows and sliders take the worst of it. The seal between the panes degrades, moisture gets in, and you get fogging you cannot wipe off from the inside. A glazing-only swap fixes it when the frame is still solid.
- Aluminum frame pitting on the bottom rail. Edgewood yards are small and sprinklers often throw water right at window frames set close to grade. Add AC condensate runoff and you get corrosion pitting on CGI’s aluminum bottom rails. We replace damaged sections and can upgrade to marine-grade hardware where the moisture exposure is chronic.
- Worn rollers and binding tracks on CGI sliders. Afternoon thunderstorms blow fine grit through Edgewood, and it settles into slider tracks. CGI sliding windows and doors start dragging, then binding. We rebuild tracks, replace rollers with genuine CGI parts where possible, and the door moves like it should.
- Thermal bowing on older CGI single-hung sashes. Some of Edgewood’s CGI units were retrofitted with dual-pane glass into original narrow frames, and the added weight plus Florida heat causes the sash to bow. This shows up as air leaks and a sash that will not lock. We address the root cause, which is usually the frame or glass package mismatch.
- Failed balances on CGI single-hung windows. The balance system wears out from repeated use and humidity exposure. An Edgewood window that slams shut when you try to raise it is a balance problem, and it is a same-visit fix with the right part on the truck.
CGI Service in Edgewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something most people do not know: parts of Edgewood sit inside the FAA’s 65 DNL noise contour for Orlando International Airport, which means the ceiling on acceptable noise for residential buildings is higher here than in surrounding cities. That is why Edgewood homeowners routinely request windows with an STC rating of 35 or higher, and why some residents have participated in airport noise insulation assistance programs that established a high benchmark for what “good windows” means locally. On Hansrob Road, a homeowner called us because her original 1960s aluminum single-hung windows were not cutting the MCO departure noise. Our tech measured the rough openings and we installed CGI Sentinel impact single-hung units with laminated glass and a dual-pane STC 40 package. The crew also rebuilt the waterlogged sill on the south-facing bedroom window before setting the new frame. The first week after install, she told us she could finally sleep through the early-morning flights. This acoustic requirement does not drive bids in neighboring Orlando communities like Pine Castle or Belle Isle the same way it does in Edgewood, and a contractor who does not know that will sell you a window that passes code but still lets the noise through.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Edgewood
We work on the full CGI lineup, including the Sentinel Series, Targa Series, Estate Collection, and Classic 7000 Series. Our approach on parts is simple: we source genuine CGI replacement parts, including balances, corner keys, weatherstripping, and rollers, when they preserve the original fit and DP rating. When salt or moisture has corroded originals, we will recommend marine-grade aftermarket hardware that holds up better in Edgewood’s humidity. We only recommend full replacement when the frame is compromised or the IGU is beyond a glazing-only swap. For Edgewood homeowners who need new units, we specialize in Edgewood Window Installation for hurricane impact windows, impact sliding glass doors, and full frame replacement done to current Florida Building Code wind-load standards.
CGI Service Pricing in Edgewood
CGI repair pricing in Edgewood depends on what failed. Replacing a failed balance or rebuilding a track runs less than an IGU glass swap, and both cost considerably less than a full frame replacement. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for, and we never leave a line item vague. A free estimate means we come out, measure, inspect your existing CGI equipment, and give you a written number before any work starts. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will schedule a time that works. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 5% discount, which we will note right on your estimate.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood
Yes. Orange County falls within the mandatory wind-borne debris region under Florida Building Code, and every CGI impact window we install carries a Florida Product Approval number that satisfies Edgewood’s permitting path. We pull the permit and our installs pass inspection the first time, which is the baseline Dale Kessler expects on every job. Call (813) 320-9346 if you want us to pull your current permit requirements.
Yes. We have installed CGI Sentinel impact units with laminated glass and dual-pane STC 40 packages in Edgewood homes that sit directly under departure paths. If your house is inside the 65 DNL contour, this is a real option, not an upsell. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will check your street against the FAA noise map and quote the right glass package.
In most cases, yes. Edgewood’s post-WWII concrete block homes have rough openings that are consistent for single-story ranch construction, and we have retrofitted CGI Sentinel and Targa impact units into many of them. We measure every opening twice and quote the exact fit before ordering. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free measurement.
We repair existing CGI windows and doors regularly. Balances, rollers, weatherstripping, corner keys, track rebuilds, and IGU glass swaps are all jobs we do in a single visit when parts are in hand. We only recommend replacement when the frame is compromised or the cost of repeated repairs no longer makes sense. To us, a full replacement is the answer only when it is the right answer.
Edgewood does not have a citywide architectural review board that dictates window finish, but some individual neighborhoods have HOA covenants that specify frame color or style. If your community has a design standard, we will match it. If it does not, you are free to choose standard CGI finishes, though Edgewood’s era of ranch homes tends to look best with clean lines rather than ornate profiles. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
