AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Medley, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Medley, from dock-side sliding doors to aging aluminum storefronts, through our Medley Window Installation and door services. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that we know the Miami-Dade NOA repair trigger cold: in Medley, a $400 hardware call can legally become a $12,000 impact storefront replacement, and we quote it straight the first time. Dale Kessler built this company on telling you what the permit clerk will actually accept before you spend a dime. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
Why Medley Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Medley is not a typical window market. This is a municipality of warehouses, distribution centers, and light manufacturing, and the CGI equipment here takes abuse that residential glass never sees. Our field techs have spent over a decade matching the right CGI product series to Medley’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone demands and industrial building stock, not just swapping glass, but knowing which CGI frame alloys and hardware survive the Miami Canal’s corrosion and which Miami-Dade NOA paperwork the city will actually accept. Dale Kessler grew up around building maintenance, the son of a man who ran a small outfit for thirty years, and he learned early that a callback is a character flaw. That lesson governs every CGI storefront, sliding door, and impact window we service in Medley, including our Medley Door Installation work. We use genuine CGI factory replacement hardware, glass, and weatherstripping whenever an opening is under NOA or warranty. When an older series is discontinued, we spec a Miami-Dade-approved marine-grade aftermarket roller or hinge rather than something that will rust out in two seasons.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Medley
- Original 1980s storefronts with non-HVHZ glass. Medley has a lot of these. A building from 1983 might still have its original single-pane CGI aluminum storefront, and the moment you pull a repair permit, the whole opening has to come up to impact compliance. We walk owners through what that costs before the first tool comes off the truck.
- Bottom track and roller corrosion on CGI commercial sliding doors. Humidity from the Miami Canal and constant forklift washdown overspray eat aluminum tracks and rollers faster than anything else we see in Medley. Doors start dragging, then bind, then stop. We replace rollers with marine-grade hardware and re-align the track so the door moves like it should.
- Weathered exterior gaskets and lost seal integrity on west-facing CGI fixed picture windows. In uninsulated metal warehouse panels, the afternoon sun bakes the gasket material until it cracks. Condensation forms inside, mold follows in dock-side offices, and the fix is a full deglaze and re-seal with fresh factory gasket stock.
- Stripped hinge bosses and stress cracks at corner welds on CGI commercial entry doors. Along NW 74th Street loading docks, pallet jacks hit these doors daily. The hinge bosses strip out of the aluminum, and corner welds start to crack. We re-tap, re-weld, or replace depending on how far the damage has gone.
- Impact window fogging and seal failure. Even hurricane-rated CGI units lose their seal eventually. In Medley’s UV and humidity, a fogged impact window is not just an eyesore; it means the laminated glass unit is no longer doing its job. We replace the insulated glass unit and re-register the warranty in writing.
CGI Service in Medley: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Medley’s building department enforces a Miami-Dade rule that any repair permit touching an original 1980s aluminum storefront or window triggers a full HVHZ impact-compliance upgrade on that entire opening. This requirement does not exist in neighboring Hialeah or Hialeah Gardens, where older non-impact commercial glazing can still be repaired in place. That means half our CGI quotes in Medley start as a $400 door closer call and end as a $12,000 storefront replacement. For a Medley owner, this changes the math on every repair decision. You cannot just reglaze one broken pane in a 1984 CGI 900 Series storefront and call it done. The permit triggers full compliance, so the smart play is often to replace the entire opening with a current impact-rated CGI system, register the NOA paperwork, and stop fighting a forty-year-old frame that is only going to corrode further along the Miami Canal. We have had owners try to avoid the permit and do the work quietly. It rarely ends well. Miami-Dade enforcement in Medley is active, and the fines plus the eventual upgrade cost more than doing it right the first time.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Medley
We service the CGI product families that actually show up in Medley’s industrial and small residential stock. That includes the CGI Estate Collection Impact Casement, the CGI Sentinel Series Impact Sliding Glass Door, the CGI 900 Series Aluminum Storefront, and the CGI Tandem Series Impact French Door. When a part is needed, we source genuine CGI factory hardware and glass under NOA or warranty conditions. For discontinued older series, we spec Miami-Dade-approved marine-grade aftermarket hardware that will survive the canal humidity. We lean toward complete frame replacement over field repair when original 1980s storefronts show pitting or racked corners, because rebuilding under today’s impact code always costs less than fighting a rusted old system for one more hurricane season. If you are weighing a repair against a replacement, we put both options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. That is the square deal, and it is how we run every CGI job in Medley.
CGI Service Pricing in Medley
CGI service in Medley runs from roughly $180 for minor hardware adjustments up to $12,000 or more for a full commercial storefront replacement triggered by Miami-Dade’s impact-compliance rule. A sliding door roller replacement on a CGI Sentinel Series might run $250 to $450 depending on track condition. A full reglaze on a west-facing fixed picture window in a metal warehouse panel typically falls between $600 and $1,100. The biggest variable in Medley is the permit trigger: if your 1980s opening lacks NOA compliance, the scope changes on paper before we can order parts. Our free estimate includes a site visit, a written line-item quote, and both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact number; you will not get a guess.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Medley
Yes, if your storefront is an original 1980s aluminum system without Miami-Dade NOA certification, pulling a repair permit in Medley triggers a full HVHZ impact-compliance upgrade on that entire opening. We have watched the permit clerk confirm this on a 1983 NW 88th Street warehouse front. Call (813) 320-9346 if you want to know what your specific opening will trigger before you commit.
CGI’s factory finishes hold up better than most, but no aluminum frame is immune to Miami Canal humidity and forklift washdown overspray. We see pitting and hardware corrosion on CGI frames in Medley too; it just tends to take longer to get there. The key is using marine-grade hardware on any replacement part and keeping the gasket seal intact so moisture cannot sit inside the frame.
Yes, and we encourage it. We will quote the CGIs tornado-impact storefront and the dock door work side by side on paper, with line items for each. That way you decide with real numbers, not a sales pitch. Our free estimates are built for exactly this kind of comparison.
Because a used unit has no paper trail, no verifiable NOA compliance, and no warranty. In Medley’s permit environment, installing an unverifiable window can fail inspection and reopen a code compliance issue that you already paid to close. We install new factory units with registered warranty layers only.
Not automatically. The Miami-Dade trigger applies to the opening you are permitting. The hollow metal doors may be separate openings under current code. However, if they share a mullion or frame assembly with the storefront, the permitting department may treat them as one opening. We will tell you exactly what the township plan reviewer will require before you pull the permit. Call (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer.
