AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Orlando, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CGI service across Orlando, from CGI repair in Winter Park to routine roller swaps and full impact slider replacements. What makes our CGI work here different is that we grew up on Central Florida’s concrete block housing stock and vacation rental turnover, not on a manufacturer training script. We handle everything from a fogged Estate Collection picture window in Conway to a 9500 Series slider torn off its track in a Reunion Resort villa, and we answer the phone at (813) 320-9346 when you call.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most Orlando homeowners with CGI windows bought them for one reason: wind ratings. These are impact products built for Florida code, and they fail in predictable ways when Orlando’s humidity, irrigation water, and tenant turnover get to work. We see those failures daily, and we carry the OEM parts to fix them correctly the first visit. Dale Kessler started TruePane after years of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties leave homeowners holding the bill. The rule that names the company still governs every CGI sash we set, every track we rebuild, and every warranty layer we register in writing before our truck leaves the driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard travels with us to every Orlando service area call.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Track wear and stripped rollers on CGI 9500 Series sliders in short-term rentals. The Osceola County vacation rental corridor is brutal on sliding doors. Constant tenant turnover chews through rollers in two to three years instead of the typical eight to ten. We rebuild tracks and swap in true CGI OEM rollers the same week the management company calls.
- Insulated glass seal failure on CGI Estate Collection fixed and picture windows. Orlando’s 74% average humidity and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms force moisture into aging IGUs. We see fogged Estate Collection units within ten to twelve years of install, and we pull the sash, measure the glass pack, and quote replacement IGUs against full-sash replacement so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
- White powdery oxidation on CGI Classic aluminum bottom rails. Hard Central Florida irrigation water and storm-driven moisture near retention ponds accelerate aluminum oxidation. This is a bigger issue in Orlando than coastal markets because the water is mineral-heavy and the humidity never lets the frame dry. We clean, treat, and reseal before the corrosion eats into the glass channel.
- Latch and lock misalignment on CGI impact entry doors. Concrete block homes settle differently than wood frame construction. When the CBS framing shifts even slightly, the strike plate drifts and the door no longer latches cleanly. Out-of-town installers shim the wrong side and call it done. We adjust the hinge geometry and the strike so the deadbolt seats properly.
- Roller and track failure on CGI sliders in long-term neighborhoods like Conway or College Park. These units may not see tenant abuse, but they still face the same humidity and hard water. We routinely find original aluminum rollers degrading silently, making the door harder to open until one day the panel just stops moving. We replace them before the track gets machined out beyond repair.
CGI Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the part no CGI brochure will tell you. Orlando’s dominant construction type is concrete block, and the overwhelming majority of these homes were built during the 1980s through 2000s suburban boom. Tens of thousands still have original window openings sized for single-pane aluminum sliders that are now 30 to 40 years old. A CGI impact window or door cannot just drop into that opening the way a wood-frame replacement would. CBS window replacement requires masonry-specific anchoring, foam backer rod, and flashing techniques that are fundamentally different from the wood-frame installs most out-of-state contractors default to. In the ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort corridors specifically, and for CGI repair in Altamonte Springs, we get calls from property management companies who deferred slider maintenance until frames have swollen, tracks have stripped, and locks no longer latch. At that point the call comes in mid-season with a guest arriving in 48 hours. We stock the OEM rollers, bottom track caps, and weatherstripping to make that call work, because waiting on a parts house order is not an option when a booking calendar is involved.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We service every CGI line you are likely to find in an Orlando home. That includes the Classic Aluminum Impact Series, the Estate Collection, the 9500 Series sliding and French doors, and the Sentinel Series entry and impact doors. For the 9500 Series and Classic lines, we stock genuine CGI OEM rollers, balances, and weatherstripping on our trucks for same-visit repairs. For out-of-production older CGI models, we use only tested marine-grade aftermarket hardware that meets AAMA standards. We do not guess with generic parts and cross our fingers. When a CGI slider in a CBS opening shows swollen stiles, cracked corner welds, or repeated IG unit failure, we tell you straight that replacement is the honest, code-compliant recommendation. We are an independent CGI service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, we are not factory authorized, and we do not pretend otherwise. We quote CGI side by side with other impact lines on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
Our Orlando CGI work concentrates on three things: impact sliding glass doors, hurricane impact windows, and wind mitigation and code compliance. Those are the products Orlando actually needs, given the Florida Building Code wind-load requirements that apply even for inland homes.
CGI Service Pricing in Orlando
CGI service pricing in Orlando typically breaks down this way. A standard roller and track rebuild on a 9500 Series slider runs $180 to $340 depending on how much of the track cap needs replacing.

IGU replacement for a fogged Estate Collection fixed window runs $280 to $700, while a full sash replacement on a Classic aluminum unit runs $400 to $900. When you call (813) 320-9346, we come out and give you a written line-item quote with the OEM and aftermarket options listed side by side, both warranty layers stated in writing, and durations registered before work begins. We run a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Your CGI sales & service estimate is free.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Orlando
Because tenants do not treat a rental slider the way an owner treats their own. The 9500 Series rollers we pull from ChampionsGate, Windsor Hills, and Casselberry CGI service calls are typically stripped to bare nylon hubs within two to three years. Tenants slam doors, drag panels across debris on the track, and leave the track full of sand and dust. Management companies defer maintenance until a check-in forces action. That is exactly why we keep OEM CGI rollers on the truck. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will quote the rebuild before the next booking lands.
In most Orlando CBS homes, yes. We size the new CGI unit to the existing concrete rough opening and use masonry-specific anchoring, foam backer rod, and perimeter flashing so the opening stays intact and code-compliant. The rough opening rarely needs modification unless the original framing was out of square or water-damaged. We measure every opening twice before ordering, because a wrong-sized impact door ordered on a guess becomes a six-week delay you should never have to eat.
Orlando is inland and outside Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but the Florida Building Code still requires wind-speed-rated windows and doors for all replacement work. The required design pressure rating depends on your specific structure, opening size, and roof height. We pull the code numbers for your address and quote the product that meets them in writing. No guesswork, no “probably good enough.”
Yes. Rental properties fall under stricter egress and security requirements, particularly for sliding doors that serve as a secondary exit path. The latch has to engage cleanly, the lock has to be tamper-resistant, and the panel has to move freely in both directions without binding. We adjust strike plates and hinge geometry on CGI impact entry doors so the deadbolt seats properly, and we document the repair so the management company has a record for code inspection.
If the frame is square, the IGU is the only failure, and the glass pack is still available, we replace the IGU and reseal. But once you see multiple failed IGUs in the same home, swollen stiles, or cracked corner welds, that is the point where repair becomes throwing money at a product that has already failed. We will give you both numbers, repair against replacement, and our recommendation. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will put the options in writing.
