We’re not a manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent service provider, which means we work on your side of the table. Dale Kessler, our owner, started TruePane because he kept seeing CGI installations fail prematurely across Palm Beach County, not from product defects, but from installers who didn’t understand coastal aluminum corrosion and HOA compliance. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing. That’s the way we work in Palm Beach Gardens.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We have spent over a decade servicing CGI windows and doors across Palm Beach County’s coastal HOAs, including Cgi repair in West Palm Beach. That experience translates into something specific: we know which CGI frame finishes each Palm Beach Gardens community requires before we order a single part. BallenIsles wants bronze anodized. Frenchman’s Creek has its own approved list. Mirasol has grid pattern rules that trip up contractors from outside the area every single week. We get it right the first time because we have already done the homework on the communities where you live.
Dale Kessler grew up understanding callbacks are a character flaw. His father ran a small building-maintenance outfit for thirty years, and Dale picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, spending more time on the shop floor than in a classroom seat. That background shapes how we service CGI products in Palm Beach Gardens: slow enough to measure right, thorough enough that the fix holds through the next storm season. Our team treats your windows the way we would work on our own mother’s house.
We also maintain a broader presence as a CGI sales & service provider, and we cover the full Palm Beach Gardens service area with techs who live in this part of the county and understand what the Intracoastal Waterway does to aluminum over time.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach Gardens
CGI makes a solid product. But Palm Beach Gardens conditions stress any aluminum frame harder than inland locations, and certain failures show up here with predictable regularity. Here is what we see most often:
- Pitting and white oxidation on bronze anodized frames. Homes sitting 2-5 miles from the Atlantic take constant salt-air exposure. Within eight to ten years, we routinely see pinhole pitting on the lower rails and stiles of otherwise healthy CGI Estate windows. Left alone, that oxidation crawls up the frame and compromises the finish.
- Roller and track failure on Estate sliding glass doors. After heavy summer rains, sand and salt grit collect in the bottom tracks of sliders across Palm Beach Gardens. That grit chews up nylon rollers and leaves the door dragging across the aluminum track. We see it most in older CBS homes where the original door was installed in the late 1990s and never lubricated or cleaned properly.
- Weatherstripping compression set on impact casements. Repeated storm-cycle pressure loads squeeze the weatherstripping on CGI impact casements until it loses its rebound. You notice it as a draft along the sash edge, or water wicking in during sustained wind-driven rain. Florida’s storm season does this faster than people expect.
- Intermittent latch misalignment on Estate entry doors. Palm Beach Gardens has a lot of pre-2002 CBS construction, and concrete slab settling shifts door frames by fractions of an inch over decades. That small movement is enough to throw a CGI entry door latch out of alignment, so the deadbolt doesn’t throw cleanly in July humidity.
- Blocked weep holes on slider bottom rails. Salt, pollen, and fine sand combine to clog the drainage channels on CGI slider frames. When those weep holes plug, water backs up inside the frame and eventually shows up on your interior tile. We address this as part of every slider service call in Palm Beach Gardens.
CGI Service in Palm Beach Gardens: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something a contractor from Lake Worth or Boynton Beach won’t tell you, because they haven’t learned it the expensive way. Palm Beach Gardens is dominated by master-planned, HOA-governed communities to an unusual degree. Virtually every home sits under an Architectural Review Board that maintains a pre-approved product list with exact frame finishes, often bronze anodized, and specific SDL grid patterns. Order white-frame CGI units before ARB approval and you are risking a full product swap after installation. We have seen it happen, and it’s a five-figure mistake.
Palm Beach County’s adopted wind-speed design threshold sits around 150 mph. That makes impact-rated glazing effectively non-negotiable for any permitted replacement. But the HOA layer in Palm Beach Gardens adds a second gauntlet: frame color, grid configuration, and manufacturer line all have to pass community review before the county permit even gets pulled. We submit product cut sheets to the ARB two weeks ahead of the permit application. That sequencing has saved our customers real money and months of delay. In nearby Lake Worth or Cgi service in Palm Beach, you don’t face this dual approval process. In PGA National, BallenIsles, and Mirasol, you do.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We service the CGI Estate Collection, the CGI Sentinel Series, CGI Estate Impact Sliding Glass Doors, and CGI Estate Casement Windows. That covers most of what you will find in Palm Beach Gardens homes built or retrofitted from the mid-1990s forward.
Our parts approach matters here. When we repair an existing CGI unit, we source OEM replacement hardware, meaning rollers, weatherstripping, and balances that match the original engineering. That preserves the pressure ratings and the finish match. When a frame is corroded beyond warrantable repair or fails a wind-load recertification, we tell you straight: full replacement beats patching a rated assembly. We keep common CGI hardware in our local stock so Palm Beach Gardens service calls don’t wait on a distributor in another state.

What drives the cost in Palm Beach Gardens: corrosion severity on the frame, whether the HOA requires a specific finish we need to order, and whether the existing opening is square. A slider that has been grinding for two years costs more than one caught early. Every estimate is free, itemized on paper, and fixed once we write it.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes, and this is where our process earns its keep. HOA approval must happen before any order is placed with CGI. We handle this for you: we prepare the cut sheets, submit them to your community’s ARB, and wait for written sign-off before the order goes in. Skipping this step in Palm Beach Gardens is the most common and most expensive mistake we correct from other contractors.
Yes. CGI impact windows are designed as a retrofit-friendly replacement for older aluminum units, especially in CBS construction. The existing frame is removed and the new unit is anchored directly to the block. No major structural work is required in most cases. But in PGA National, the ARB will still want to review your frame finish and grid configuration before we order, so the process starts with paper, not a saw.
Because you are two to five miles from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. Persistent salt-air exposure, combined with the humidity that holds that salt against the aluminum, accelerates oxidation on even high-quality anodized finishes. The same frame in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach would take significantly longer to show the same pitting. Coastal homes need more diligent frame cleaning and more frequent hardware service.
Palm Beach County’s adopted standard is approximately 150 mph design wind. The requirement itself does not vary by neighborhood, but which CGI products meet the standard depends on the opening size and orientation. We spec each opening individually. Every CGI window we install in Palm Beach Gardens comes with the engineering documentation your wind mitigation inspector needs.
Yes. We document the existing impact-rated products on your home, prepare the wind-mitigation paperwork, and make sure it matches what the insurance carrier requires for the premium discount. Florida’s homeowners insurance market is tightening, and Palm Beach Gardens insurers are actively pricing verified impact upgrades. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will get the documentation sorted.
