We’re not the manufacturer’s service arm. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we tell you what actually needs fixing, not what moves inventory. Our crew has worked on CGI frames in North Bay Village for years, from early anodized aluminum series to current Miami-Dade NOA impact lines, and we know what this island does to them. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.

Why North Bay Village Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

Dale Kessler, our founder and owner, grew up in a family that treated callbacks as a character flaw. He started TruePane in 2008 after years of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties on windows that should have lasted decades. Since then, our team has replaced and repaired thousands of CGI windows and doors across Miami-Dade, with a heavy share of that work on North Bay Village’s three islands.

Here’s what that means for you. We stock marine-grade hardware and OEM-compatible parts so we’re not waiting on a distributor when your CGI Targa door won’t roll. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s followed on every job, no exceptions. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in North Bay Village

• Salt-caked bottom tracks and seized sliding doors. On North Bay Village, constant bay wind drives salt spray into door tracks from every direction. We regularly pull CGI Targa doors where the track is packed with salt crystals and the nickel-plated rollers have frozen solid. We replace with marine-grade stainless track inserts and high-corrosion-resistant nylon rollers from CGI’s current parts spec.
• White powdery corrosion on aluminum frames. That powdery oxidation is salt attacking raw aluminum where the anodized finish has been compromised, usually at bottom rails and sills. On the island, weep holes get blocked by salt crystallization, trapping moisture against the metal. When pitting has penetrated more than 1/32 inch, we recommend frame replacement rather than patch repair.
• De-laminated anodized finish on older CGI frames. Many original 1950s through 1970s buildings in North Bay Village still have CGI 900 Series frames with finishes that have bubbled and flaked. Once the raw aluminum is exposed, Biscayne Bay air turns it white and flaky within months. We can strip and refinish frames that are structurally sound, and we’ll tell you plainly when they’re beyond saving.
• Hardened, torn weatherstripping. Vinyl and rubber bulb seals on CGI windows and doors shrink, harden, and tear within 5 to 8 years on North Bay Village, even on solid frames. The result is air leaks and water intrusion long before the glass or frame fails. We replace weatherstripping with marine-grade materials that outlast the original.
• Corroded door hardware down to the fasteners. Locks, handles, and hinge screws on CGI doors facing the bay corrode from the inside out. We swap in stainless or marine-grade hardware wherever corrosion resistance matters, replacing fasteners as well as the visible components.

CGI Service in North Bay Village: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

North Bay Village is one of only three municipalities in Miami-Dade that sit entirely on man-made islands not connected to the mainland by land bridges. Every building here is exposed to salt-laden wind from Biscayne Bay on all sides simultaneously. That kills the standard “protected side” corrosion assumption mainland installers use when predicting how long a window or door will last. A north-facing CGI window in North Bay Village fails just as fast as a southeast-facing one, because there is no protected side on an island with no land buffer.

We see this on South Treasure Drive, on Harbor Island, on Treasure Island, and on every other street in North Bay Village: aluminum oxidation, corroded steel hardware, degraded seals, all compressed into years instead of decades. When a condo board calls us because a resident’s CGI Estate sliding door on the east side seized completely shut, we know what we’ll find before we arrive. On one South Treasure Drive job, the bottom track was packed with salt crystals and the rollers had frozen solid. We pulled the door, replaced the track with a marine-grade stainless insert, swapped in high-corrosion-resistant nylon rollers, refurbished the jamb, and put it back in service without replacing the door itself. That’s the difference between knowing CGI parts and knowing what this island does to them.

CGI Models & Products We Service in North Bay Village

We work on the full CGI range found across North Bay Village’s 1950s through 1970s stock and newer impact retrofits. That includes CGI Estate Collection impact casement and picture windows, Targa Series impact sliding glass doors, Estate Collection single-hung and picture window combos, and the older 900 Series no-impact aluminum windows still present in original installations. For structural components like sashes, frames, and impact glass, we use only genuine CGI OEM parts or factory-specified equivalents. That’s what preserves the NOA integrity on Miami-Dade impact-rated systems. For wear items like rollers, locks, and weatherstripping, we use quality aftermarket or manufacturer-upgraded parts when they improve corrosion resistance. We stock common CGI hardware locally so North Bay Village turnaround is measured in days, not distributor shipping windows.
