AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Lantana, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
CGI impact windows and doors keep their rating only as long as every seal, roller, and lock stays true. In Lantana, our Lantana Window Installation team services and replaces CGI Estate, Sentinel, Magnum, and Series 4000 units on CBS homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, many of which still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum that no longer meets Palm Beach County code. The one thing that sets our CGI work here apart is this: we know which failure points the Intracoastal salt air attacks first, and we inspect them before we quote. Call TruePane Windows & Doors at (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
We are independent CGI specialists, not a manufacturer subsidiary. That means we recommend the repair that makes sense, and when a replacement is the only honest answer, we say so plainly.
Why Lantana Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most window companies in Lantana can order a CGI unit. Fewer can tell you why the bottom rail on your Estate Series single-hung is pitting white, or whether your Sentinel sliding door rollers are worth cleaning versus replacing. We have pulled and replaced hundreds of CGI frames across Palm Beach County’s coastal corridor, and the lessons from that work shape every estimate we write here.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after two decades of measuring, setting, and sealing windows across the Tampa Bay area. His trade training started at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, and the habit he carried into this company is simple: measure every opening twice, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, and treat a callback as a character flaw. That is the standard our Lantana customers get, on a CGI service call or a full impact replacement.
We are an independent CGI service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, and we do not pretend to be. What we are is particular about OEM hinges, rollers, and gaskets, and exacting about how they go back in.
Key Takeaways
- Independent CGI service across Lantana, including Estate, Sentinel, Magnum, and Series 4000 lines.
- OEM CGI hardware when replacement is feasible; marine-grade aftermarket only for out-of-production parts.
- We inspect salt-exposure failure points before quoting, because Lantana’s air is harder on aluminum than inland Palm Beach County’s.
- Free estimates, written line-item quotes, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lantana
- Failing interlocking weatherstripping at meeting rails. Double hung and sliding door interlock weatherstripping takes direct salt air in Lantana, even a few blocks west of the Intracoastal. After five to seven years of continuous exposure, the rubber stiffens and the interlock begins to let wind-driven rain through. We replace with OEM CGI gaskets, not generic vinyl.
- Pitted and powdery aluminum on bottom rails and corners. Intracoastal-facing elevations get near-constant salt spray. Aluminum oxidizes, the powder coat fails, and the frame begins to erode at the stress points. On a structural impact frame, that is not cosmetic. We assess depth of pitting and tell you straight if the frame is near end of life.
- Seized stainless steel rollers on sliding doors. Salt-laden air clings to roller assemblies. Without a cleaning and lubrication every six months, the rollers bind and the door drags. We see it constantly in Lantana. Sometimes the fix is a clean and re-lube; often the races are corroded and the rollers need replacement with CGI-spec stainless.
- Stress cracks radiating from fixed picture window corners. Lantana’s 1950s and 1960s CBS homes shift. Original concrete-block openings transfer that slow movement into the glass. Fixed picture windows with no expansion allowance develop cracks from the corners outward. This is a structural problem, not a glass defect, and it usually points to a custom-sized replacement unit.
- Multi-point lock failure on CGI entry doors. Salt corrodes the internal lock strips and the door panel’s hardware pockets. Once a multi-point lock seizes, forcing it usually strips the gearbox. We replace the full lock body and align the panel, which is the only way to restore the impact rating.
CGI Service in Lantana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lantana’s east-side 1960s bungalow blocks sit on sand ridges within a few thousand feet of the Intracoastal Waterway. The same salt air that oxidizes CGI aluminum frames also accelerates the sagging and warping of original non-impact jalousie openings. Here is the part most homeowners do not see coming: we routinely pull a permit for one CGI impact casement and trigger Palm Beach County’s code requirement to bring every other opening in the same wall up to current HVHZ-adjacent wind standards on the same job. A single window replacement becomes a wall-sector code correction.
Inspectors in Lantana frequently flag jalousie windows, still common on 1960s bungalows throughout the older east-side blocks, during permit pulls for unrelated remodels. A homeowner who budgeted for a kitchen update discovers the whole wall of original jalousies must be replaced with impact-rated units before the inspection passes. We have learned to spot this early and lay out the code requirement before the city inspector arrives, so the homeowner is not caught flat-footed. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lantana
We service the full residential CGI impact line. That includes the Estate Series, the most common choice for single-family homes in Lantana; the Sentinel Series, a heavier-profile impact window used where wind loads run higher; the Magnum Series, often paired with sliding glass doors on waterfront elevations; and the Series 4000, a commercial impact line we occasionally see on mid-size condominium and mixed-use buildings along Dixie Highway.
Our parts approach is deliberate. We default to OEM CGI hinges, rollers, and gaskets when replacement is feasible, because the engineering tolerances on impact-rated hardware are not negotiable. For out-of-production CGI hardware, we source marine-grade aftermarket components that match or exceed the corrosion resistance of the originals. We stock common CGI hardware for faster turnaround in Lantana; odd-size frame components are ordered same-week, not same-month. For a broader look at our CGI work, see our CGI sales & service page.
CGI Service Pricing in Lantana
What does CGI service cost in Lantana? A hardware repair, like a roller replacement or weatherstripping job, typically runs from $180 to $450 depending on the part and the access. A full window or door replacement on a standard opening runs from $1,200 to $3,800 installed, and custom-size units for older Lantana CBS openings fall at the higher end because the frame must be built to the original masonry, not the other way around.
What drives the cost here is salt-corroded hardware, non-standard rough openings, and the occasional code trigger that turns one window into three. Our free estimate includes a written line-item quote and a plain-English explanation of the code picture. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Lantana
No. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CGI. That independence is the point: we recommend the repair or replacement that serves you, and we are not bound to push one product line. We do carry the depth of CGI field experience that matters in Lantana.
We default to OEM CGI hinges, rollers, gaskets, and lock bodies whenever the part is available. For older CGI models where the manufacturer no longer supplies hardware, we use marine-grade aftermarket components selected to match or exceed the original corrosion resistance. We will tell you which is going into your unit and why, in writing, before the work starts.
Most hardware repairs, like roller and weatherstripping replacements, are completed in a single visit. Full window replacements on standard openings typically take one to two days including finish work. Custom-size units for older Lantana CBS openings add lead time for fabrication, usually one to three weeks, because the frame is built to the original masonry. We keep you posted on the schedule from first measure to final inspection.
We service and replace the CGI Estate Series, Sentinel Series, Magnum Series, and Series 4000 commercial impact windows and doors. If you have a CGI product outside those lines, call us at (813) 320-9346 with the model number, and we will tell you straight whether we can source parts or whether replacement is the better course.
Because Palm Beach County code requires bringing non-conforming openings up to current impact standards whenever a permit triggers a full inspection. A kitchen or bathroom remodel permit on a 1960s Lantana bungalow with original jalousie windows usually turns into a mandatory impact-glazing upgrade for every opening in the affected wall. We budget for that on the front end so the final inspection does not surprise you. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate that includes the code picture.

Our crew replaced a corroded CGI Estate Series single-hung on North Eighth Street in Lantana’s east side, where the bottom rail had developed sizeable white pitting from years of Intracoastal spray. The homeowner had already failed a wind-mitigation inspection because the original window exceeded its design life and showed seal failure, so we custom-ordered a same-size CGI Estate impact unit to fit the 1957 concrete-block opening without modifying the masonry. We also handled the Lantana Door Installation on the rear porch, rehanging the matching sliding glass door with new stainless rollers and a heavier bottom rail insert to stop the salt-induced drag the homeowner had been fighting for two seasons. That is the kind of job that teaches you what Lantana’s air does to metal, and what it takes to make it right.
