AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Tequesta, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI service across Tequesta, from the canal-side streets off Country Club Drive to the older ranch homes near the river. The one thing that sets our CGI work apart here is simple: our crew has spent years on this narrow peninsula, learning exactly how salt air from both the Loxahatchee and the Intracoastal eats at aluminum frames faster than anywhere else in Palm Beach County. We spec, install, and repair CGI impact windows and doors daily, independent of the manufacturer. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
Why Tequesta Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most companies treat CGI windows like any other aluminum line. We don’t. We know which CGI hardware holds up in Tequesta’s marine air and which parts fail first, because we have pulled enough corroded rollers and fogged sashes out of canal-front homes to spot trouble before it spreads. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in Seminole Heights and spent nearly two decades setting and sealing windows across the Tampa Bay area before TruePane ever hung its sign. The lesson he carried into every job since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
That standard matters double in Tequesta. The village runs its own permit process, separate from Palm Beach County, and out-of-area companies get caught on that regularly. Our technicians are registered with the Village, uniformed, background-checked, and they measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We carry genuine CGI factory rollers, weatherstripping, and marine-grade hardware so a repair does not drag into a second visit. And every job gets The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Tequesta
- Salt-driven frame corrosion and pitting. On Tequesta canal and Intracoastal lots, the bottom rail and weep holes of CGI aluminum frames start pitting within years, not decades. The salt spray comes from two directions here, and if marine-grade finishes were not specified originally, the structural channel can fail. We replace what is salvageable and tell you straight when the frame is gone.
- Fogged insulated glass on early-generation impact units. We see seal failure on CGI impact windows in Tequesta more than in inland Palm Beach County cities. Constant marine humidity stresses the sealant, and once fog shows up between the panes, the unit’s thermal and impact rating is compromised. Replacement glass, not patchwork, is the fix.
- Roller and track wear on CGI sliding glass doors. Salt-laden sand and grit accumulate in Tequesta’s older CBS homes, grinding down CGI slider rollers until the door sticks or jumps the track. We clean, replace rollers with genuine CGI hardware, and swap damaged tracks when pitting has gone too deep.
- Weatherstripping and pile degradation on sliders and casements. Air and water intrusion shows up within 10-15 years on canal-front and inlet-adjacent Tequesta homes. We recondition the tracks and install factory-spec weatherstripping so the seal actually seals.
- Non-standard rough openings on jalousie retrofits. Many original openings in Tequesta’s 1960s CBS ranches were framed for jalousie windows. Retrofit CGI impact casements into those narrow openings requires careful framing and shimming work most coastal-area companies have never done correctly. We have.
CGI Service in Tequesta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Tequesta is a narrow peninsula village with salt water on three sides: the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic near Jupiter Inlet. That geography creates a measurable difference in how CGI windows and doors age here. The village’s concentrated stock of 1960s-1980s CBS ranch homes, many still carrying jalousie windows and non-impact aluminum frames, forms a hyper-local replacement market. We regularly pull early-generation CGI impact units from those houses and find the insulated glass seal has failed at the corner closest to the water. The aluminum pitting is worse on the salt-facing side of the frame. Here is the part generic CGI pages miss: the Village of Tequesta requires its own contractor registration on top of the standard Palm Beach County license. Out-of-area installers get permit applications rejected for this small village specifically. We are already registered with the Village, and we pull Tequesta permits without that delay. On a canal-side street off Country Club Drive, our tech pulled a mid-2000s CGI Estate slider that had become almost impossible to open. The rollers had seized with a paste of salt, sand, and aluminum oxide. The outer channel showed pitting deep enough that we recommended full-track replacement rather than just new rollers. We installed a new CGI impact slider with stainless marine-grade hardware, registered the permit with the Village before we arrived, and the job passed final inspection on the first visit.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Tequesta
We work on the full CGI residential line: the StormPro 400 Series impact windows, the Estate Collection impact windows, the 300 Series aluminum windows, and CGI custom impact doors. When a repair is still practical, we use genuine CGI factory hardware, rollers, weatherstripping, and sealants. We do not cut corners with generic aftermarket parts that don’t match the original profile. When a salt-accelerated frame has compromised the structural channel or thermal performance, we say so plainly, because full replacement is sometimes the more cost-honest option. For Tequesta turnaround, we keep common CGI rollers, handles, and weatherstripping in local stock, so most repairs happen in a single visit. If you are looking for CGI sales & service, we can quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
CGI Service Pricing in Tequesta
CGI window and door repair in Tequesta typically runs between $125 and $1,200, depending on the work. Here is what we quote on a regular basis:
- Weatherstripping replacement on a CGI slider or casement: $150-$350
- Single insulated glass unit replacement for a CGI impact window: $400-$900
- Roller replacement on a CGI sliding glass door: $125-$375
- Full-track replacement on a corroded CGI slider: $600-$1,200

What drives the cost is frame condition and water exposure. A canal-front CGI unit with deep pitting costs more than a street-side window with intact channels.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Tequesta
You need both. Tequesta runs its own building department, and the Village requires a separate contractor registration on top of the Palm Beach County license. A county permit alone will not pass here. We are registered with the Village and handle both layers for you. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will walk you through the exact steps.
Salt spray from the Intracoastal and the Loxahatchee hits your frames from two directions, and Tequesta sits at the mouth of Jupiter Inlet, one of the most wind-exposed coastal gaps in South Florida. That constant marine air accelerates pitting along the bottom rail and weep holes. Palm Beach Gardens sits farther inland, so the salt load is lower. The fix is marine-grade hardware and regular frame inspection before the pitting reaches the structural channel.
Many Tequesta jalousie openings are non-standard. The original rough openings on 1960s CBS ranch homes were framed narrow and shallow, so a standard CGI impact casement will not drop in without framing work. We measure every opening twice, shim and frame as needed, and pull the Village permit before we start. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a measurement.
CGI StormPro and Estate Collection impact windows are rated for the wind loads in Tequesta’s coastal Palm Beach County zone when properly installed and maintained. They meet Florida Building Code wind requirements without additional shutters. The key is the installation and the permit record. Our work is done to code and passes final inspection on the first visit.
Marine humidity and salt exposure stress the sealant faster on the water-facing side of the house, and early-generation CGI impact units were not all specified with marine-grade edge seals. Once fog appears between the panes, the unit’s integrity is gone. Replacement glass with proper marine-grade sealing is the fix. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free inspection and an exact quote.
