CGI Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service and repair CGI impact windows and doors throughout Pompano Beach, plus Cgi in Coconut Creek, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know exactly how this city’s dual salt-air environment and HVHZ code requirements shorten the life of even well-made aluminum frames. The quick answer: yes, we handle CGI Sterling, Estate Collection, 900 Series sliders, and Targa door lines, and we stock OEM parts locally for fast turnaround. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate, and we’ll send a background-checked technician who measures every opening twice.
TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated, and we’re not an authorized CGI dealer. That independence matters because we don’t have to push a replacement when a repair honestly solves the problem. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after years of watching homeowners get sold full replacements for windows that needed a $40 roller assembly. We’d rather fix what’s fixable and tell you straight when it isn’t. Our crews work on CGI sales & service calls across Pompano Beach every week, from Garden Isles to Cresthaven to the condo towers along A1A.
Why Pompano Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI builds some of the toughest impact-rated aluminum windows put into Florida homes, but salt air doesn’t care about a brand’s reputation. What we bring to the table is fifteen-plus years of seeing exactly how CGI products age in Pompano Beach specifically. That means we know which frame corners start pitting first on Intracoastal-facing units, which roller assemblies seize up on beachfront sliders, and which CGI models carry the right Miami-Dade NOA for each wind-borne debris zone in this city.
Dale Kessler grew up in Seminole Heights, picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, and has spent the better part of two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Florida. His father ran a small building-maintenance outfit for thirty years, so Dale grew up understanding that a callback is a character flaw. That’s the standard our Pompano Beach crews work to. When we service a CGI window here, we’re thinking about how it’ll perform through the next three hurricane seasons, not just whether it opens today.
We serve Pompano Beach service area with background-checked, uniformed technicians who register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The Keystone Standard isn’t a slogan. It’s two manufacturer warranty layers documented, durations stated, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we’ll put it in writing.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Pompano Beach
CGI makes a good product, but Pompano Beach works against aluminum in ways most cities don’t. Here’s what we see every month:
- Frame pitting and white oxidation along bottom rails and corner keys. Pompano Beach has two salt sources: the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal running through the city’s interior. CGI aluminum frames start showing oxidation within 8 to 10 years here, faster than you’d see inland in Margate or Coconut Creek. Once the corner keys corrode, air and water seal gaps open up, and that fails a Broward County inspection.
- Sliding door rollers binding from salt-caked debris. On Intracoastal-facing CGI 900 Series sliders, the track wells collect salt and sand that bakes into a crust. Rollers grind instead of glide. Sometimes a full track de-corroding fixes it. Sometimes the track needs replacement. We’ll tell you which before any work starts.
- IGU seal failure showing up early on east-facing units. The daily temperature swing across the barrier island stresses the sealant in insulated glass units. We see fogging appear on Ocean-side CGI windows years before the same unit would fog inland. Once the seal goes, the gas escapes and the glass loses its insulating value and often its NOA-rated integrity.
- Cam-lock hardware on CGI casement windows spinning without moving the sash. Constant salt moisture strips the zinc-plated internals in cam-lock handles, especially in older condos along A1A. The handle turns, the sash doesn’t budge. We replace these with marine-grade stainless aftermarket hardware that outlasts the OEM parts.
- Original jalousie windows that can’t be repaired to satisfy insurers. This is less a CGI problem than a “no CGI at all” problem. The 1950s and 1960s CBS bungalows east of Dixie Highway still have louvered glass jalousies that carry zero hurricane rating. Insurers are flagging these for non-renewal. We handle the full-frame replacement into CGI impact units, which is the permanent fix.
CGI Service in Pompano Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pompano Beach sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest impact-glazing standard in the country. Every window and door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an equivalent HVHZ product approval. Neighboring cities just a few miles north in Palm Beach County, like Cgi in Deerfield Beach, fall outside the HVHZ designation entirely. That difference is not academic. It changes which CGI products we can order for your opening, how we install them, and what your insurer will accept.
Here’s the part that’s genuinely urgent for Pompano Beach homeowners right now. Florida’s insurance carriers are actively non-renewing policies on homes that still have pre-code windows. The original jalousies and early aluminum sliders in those CBS bungalows on NE 10th Street and elsewhere in Garden Isles are not just outdated. They’re insurability emergencies. We’re taking calls from homeowners with 45-day non-renewal letters in hand. Our job is to get them a code-compliant, insurance-satisfying CGI impact window installed before the deadline. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s the reality of this market, and it shapes every recommendation we make.
Earlier this month our crew pulled a rusted original jalousie from a 1963 CBS bungalow on NE 10th Street in the Garden Isles neighborhood. The frame had zero NOA and the homeowner’s insurer had given a 45-day non-renewal deadline. We structurally re-framed the opening and installed a CGI Sterling Series impact casement with Miami-Dade approval, then re-screwed the interior trim with stainless fasteners so the salt spray wouldn’t seize them in five years. That’s the kind of job we do in Pompano Beach all the time now.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Pompano Beach
We service the full CGI residential line that’s common in Pompano Beach homes and condos:
- CGI Sterling Series impact casement and awning windows, the most common retrofit we install in older CBS bungalows.
- CGI Estate Collection single and double hung windows, frequently found in larger Pompano Beach single-family homes and beachfront residences.
- CGI 900 Series sliding glass doors, the workhorse of Intracoastal and beachfront condos. We stock replacement rollers and track components locally for fast turnaround.
- CGI Targa by CGI impact French and swing doors, which need careful hinge and threshold maintenance in salt-heavy environments.
Our parts stance is straightforward. We start with OEM CGI parts like sash locks, roller assemblies, and weatherstripping because those preserve the original structural and NOA ratings. For corrosion-prone hardware like handle sets and hinge pins, we use marine-grade stainless aftermarket parts that outlast the OEM zinc-plated versions. Repair is our first move whenever the frame is straight and the glass is intact.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach
Not all CGI products carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, but the impact-rated lines we commonly install in Pompano Beach do, including the Sterling Series and 900 Series models. The specific NOA number depends on the exact product and size of the opening, and we verify that before we order anything. Your insurer will want to see the NOA number on your paperwork, and we provide that documentation as a standard part of the job. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll confirm which CGI product matches your opening and your insurer’s requirements.
No. Jalousie windows have no hurricane rating, no NOA, and no retrofit path that satisfies Broward County code or a Florida insurer. The glass louvers are loose by design, which is exactly what wind-borne debris rips through. The fix is a full-frame replacement into an HVHZ-compliant impact window, and CGI Sterling Series casements are one of the most common choices we install in those older CBS bungalows. The structural reframing included in that work is the difference between a window that passes inspection and one that doesn’t. Call (813) 320-9346 for a quote and we’ll walk you through what your specific house needs.
Usually not, in our experience. CGI’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, not environmental wear from salt-caked track wells. The sticking is typically from salt and sand debris that bakes into the tracks and eats the roller bearings over time. It’s a maintenance issue, not a product flaw. We de-corrode the track and replace rollers with OEM or marine-grade parts, and that solves it in well over 90 percent of the calls we take. If the frame itself is compromised, we’ll show you why a replacement is the right call. Call (813) 320-9346 to have a tech take a look.
In Pompano Beach’s dual salt-source environment, any aluminum frame will oxidize faster than it would inland. That’s not a CGI defect. It’s coastal chemistry. What you’re seeing is electrolysis where salt moisture sits against the corner keys, and if caught early, we can clean and reseal the corners to slow it down. A brand-new CGI frame will eventually face the same salt exposure, which is why we install with stainless fasteners and recommend sealing practices that extend aluminum’s life in this environment. If you want an honest read on whether that corner is salvageable, call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll come look.
Yes on both counts. Beachfront and Intracoastal high-rises in Pompano Beach almost always require HOA architectural approval for any exterior-facing window or door work, and many also require Broward County high-rise permitting coordination. We’ve handled enough of these to know the paperwork requirements by building. We’ll prepare the submittals, coordinate with your property manager, and pull the permits. The HOA process adds time, but skipping it means the board can force you to redo the work at your own expense. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll map out the timeline for your specific building.
