AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Gulf Stream, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Gulf Stream Window Installation and door service across Gulf Stream, from roller swaps on a sticking Targa slider to full impact casement replacements that pass the Town Commission’s design review. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that we order the custom slim-profile and simulated true-divided-light configurations most window crews never touch. If you own a CGI unit in Gulf Stream and it’s binding, fogged, or corroding at the corners, call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a repair or a replacement.
Why Gulf Stream Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve cut, weather-stripped, and reset CGI impact windows across Palm Beach County’s HVHZ for over a decade. We know how Gulf Stream’s architectural review process forces custom CGI specs, and we know which hardware and seals hold up when the Atlantic is on one side of your house and the Intracoastal is on the other. Dale Kessler grew up in Seminole Heights and has spent the better part of two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Florida. The work he’s best known for is storm-rated installation done tight enough that a follow-up inspection is never a surprise.
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. That means when we quote a repair, we quote the repair, not a sales pitch for a full replacement. We use genuine CGI replacement parts for warranty-eligible and impact-certified units. If a sash, seal, or roller can restore a CGI unit to spec, that’s what we recommend. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
When you call TruePane Windows & Doors, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. We’ll be there when we say, background-checked and uniformed, and we measure every opening twice before we order a single part.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Gulf Stream
- Salt-crawl on aluminum frame base corners and weep-holes. Gulf Stream sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so your CGI frames get salt spray from two directions. We regularly see pitting and white corrosion at base corners and clogged weep-holes within 8 to 12 years on homes a block or two off the beach. We clean the tracks, clear the weep system, and treat the aluminum with a marine-grade corrosion inhibitor approved for Palm Beach County exposure.
- Fogged insulated glass units on older CGI impact sliders. If your 1990s or early 2000s CGI slider has haze between the panes that never clears, the butyl seal has likely delaminated. Gulf Stream humidity accelerates this. We replace the IGU with a new sealed unit, and we register the glass warranty in writing so you know exactly how long it’s covered.
- Roller assemblies and stainless hardware binding from windborne sand and salt crust. The Targa slider track catches sand off the beach and salt out of the air. Rollers get gritty, then they grind. We replace the rollers and clean the stainless hardware rather than telling you the door is done.
- Sagging casement sashes on CGI Elegance units. Many Gulf Stream homes have steel-reinforced concrete-block jambs, and the original anchors were often never upgraded when the old steel casements came out. The sash sags, the corners drag, and the hardware starts to wear unevenly. We reset the sash, install proper anchors, and bring the unit back to plumb.
- Design review rejections for standard impact frames. This one’s specific to Gulf Stream. The Town Commission’s design guidelines ban wide-sightline impact frames on historic facades. Homeowners buy standard CGI units, submit for review, and get rejected. We help order the slim-profile or simulated true-divided-light CGI configurations that actually pass.
CGI Service in Gulf Stream: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Gulf Stream is a tiny oceanfront enclave governed by some of the strictest municipal design codes in Palm Beach County, including rules that protect the town’s distinctive Gulf Stream Gothic architectural character. Window and door replacements must satisfy both Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone impact-glazing mandate and the town’s architectural review requirements simultaneously. That’s not true in Delray Beach or Boynton Beach. In Gulf Stream, a standard contractor-grade impact unit that passes HVHZ code can still be rejected because the frame sightlines are too wide, the muntin profiles don’t match the original 1920s proportions, or the finish doesn’t match the existing steel. Our techs recently rebuilt a 1950s Gulf Stream Gothic estate on Polo Drive where the Town Commission rejected a standard 6-inch frame impact spec. We measured the original steel casement openings, ordered CGI Estate Collection fixed windows and Elegance casements with 2-1/4-inch muntin profiles and a custom anodized dark bronze finish, then waited three weeks for the town design review board and another two for the Palm Beach County permit before one window was set. The homeowner now has an approved, non-negotiated CGI impact system that matches the original mullion rhythm exactly. That’s the gauntlet every CGI job in Gulf Stream runs through.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Gulf Stream
We service the CGI Elegance Series impact casement windows, the CGI Estate Collection simulated true-divided-light fixed windows, the CGI 9400 Targa impact sliding glass doors, and the CGI Sentinel impact single-hung windows. For warranty-eligible and impact-certified units, we use genuine CGI replacement parts sourced directly from the manufacturer. For obsolete or cosmetic components, we source marine-grade aluminum or OEM-equivalent hardware that meets Palm Beach County corrosion approvals. We stock common rollers, weatherstripping, and hardware locally so a Targa slider repair in Gulf Stream doesn’t sit waiting on a part from Miami. Our team handles CGI sales & service with the same attention to the manufacturer’s specs and the local review board’s demands.
CGI Service Pricing in Gulf Stream
CGI repair pricing in Gulf Stream depends on what’s actually wrong. Swapping a roller assembly or replacing weatherstripping on a Targa slider typically runs $180 to $340 including parts and labor. Replacing a fogged IGU in a CGI impact window runs $350 to $1,200 depending on glass size, Low-E coating, and whether the frame needs re-sealing. Full casement sash replacement, including anchors and re-setting, runs $600 to $1,600 per opening. A permitted full-frame replacement with custom divided-light profiles starts around $3,500 per opening and goes up from there.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Gulf Stream
No, the board does not automatically reject CGI impact windows. What happens is this: if your project involves a home with historic or Gothic-style facades, the board requires frame sightlines and muntin profiles that match the original window proportions. That often means standard CGI impact units get rejected, but the same models in slim-profile or simulated true-divided-light configurations pass. We quote those configurations from the start so you don’t pay for two rounds of review. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you what spec your street needs.
Interior-side pitting on Gulf Stream homes is almost always salt-crawl. The Atlantic is east of you and the Intracoastal is west of you, so airborne salt reaches the frames from both exposures. The aluminum’s anodized or painted finish breaks down faster than it would even a few miles inland. We clean the corrosion, treat the frame, and replace the weatherstripping so the seal keeps salt out of the track. The fix is straightforward when it’s caught early.
It depends on the scope and the town’s current review threshold. In many Gulf Stream homes, replacing one window as an in-kind repair with the same size, muntin pattern, and frame profile doesn’t require a full review. But if you’re changing the sightline, the glass package, or the opening size, the town can pull the whole facade into the review. We’ll look at your existing unit and the town’s current guidance and tell you what’s required before you file. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll talk it through.
Expect six to eight weeks on a typical Targa slider replacement. The custom slim-profile or simulated divided-light CGI order takes two to four weeks from the manufacturer. Then you add the town design review, which can take two to three weeks, and the Palm Beach County permit process, which adds another one to two. We handle all of it, and we don’t schedule the removal of your old slider until the new one is on our truck.
Yes, in almost every Gulf Stream home we work on, the original anchors are not adequate for the weight and wind load of a modern CGI impact casement. The old steel units were set differently, often into concrete-block jambs with shallow fasteners. We install new, code-compliant anchors every time we set a CGI casement in an older opening. It’s not an upsell. It’s how you keep the sash from sagging and the frame from pulling under a storm load.
