This page is written for homeowners in Lauderhill, Inverrary, and St. George who bought CGI products years ago and want straight answers about fixing them.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Fogged glass on CGI Estate Collection and Custom Impact lines. Lauderhill’s humidity works against every seal eventually, but we see earlier failures on south-facing elevations where afternoon sun bakes the sash. The cause is almost always a degraded desiccant strip inside the insulated glass unit, not the frame. We replace the IGU with fresh dual-seal glass, and we order from a Miami-area glazing supplier that cuts to CGI’s exact sightline so the grid pattern matches the original.
• Binding and dragging on CGI sliding glass doors with the standard roller assembly. CGI uses a nylon-wheel roller on several older slider series. After ten-plus years in Lauderhill’s salt-adjacent air, the bearings seize and the door grinds on its track. We replace the roller assembly with a stainless-bearing upgrade that fits the same housing, so the door glides without changing the frame or the look.
• Weeping system clogs on CGI casement and awning windows. CGI frames drain through small channels at the sill that fill with Lauderhill’s fine limestone dust and pollen. Once clogged, water pools inside the track and wicks into the frame. We clear the weep path, verify it with a controlled water test, and re-treat the sill with a dry-film lubricant that slows future buildup.
• Warped or sagging screens on CGI Estate and Panorama fixed windows. The original screen frames on some CGI fixed units are thin-wall aluminum that bends under repeated removal. We re-tension or replace the screen frame with a thicker-wall extrusion, and re-spline the mesh so it sits flat. It’s a small fix but one that makes the window feel new again.
• Stripped lock hardware on CGI single-hung and horizontal slider windows. The latch strike on some CGI models is a soft metal casting that rounds out after years of use. We replace the strike with a machined aftermarket part that holds tighter than the OEM piece, and we quote it side by side so you see the cost difference before we touch a screw.

Our CGI Custom Windows & Doors Process

Here’s how a CGI job goes from the first call to the day we hand you back the warranty paperwork.

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We ask for the CGI series name if you know it, the symptom, and the rough age of the unit. We’ll tell you if it sounds like a repair or a replacement before we schedule.
2. 2
   We come out and diagnose. Our tech measures the opening, checks the frame for racking, and confirms the failure in front of you. No guesswork, no “we’ll see what we find.”
3. 3
   We quote on paper. You see OEM vs. quality aftermarket parts, side by side, with the carpenter’s and glass cost separated. The price we quote is the price you pay.
4. 4
   We do the work. Custom radius windows, arch tops, oversized panels, SDLs, grilles - we cut, set, and seal the same day on most residential jobs. We pull permits when the city requires them and handle the inspection.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. Every CGI repair and replacement gets a water test, an operation check, and a level check before we call it done.
6. 6
   We register the warranties in writing. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in the driveway, and you get a copy before we pull away. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it.

What CGI Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Lauderhill

Honest numbers, based on jobs we’ve done in Lauderhill over the past few years:

• Service call and diagnosis: $89 (applied to the repair if you approve it)
• Insulated glass unit replacement (custom size, CGI sightline): $180-$460
• Roller and track rebuild on a CGI sliding door: $220-$390

Why Lauderhill Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we’re not tied to a sales quota or a manufacturer script. When a CGI product is worth repairing, we repair it. When it’s not, we tell you and show you the math. We carry stock parts for common CGI series and have supplier relationships in Miami-Dade that get us custom glass faster than most shops in Broward. Every technician who steps onto a Lauderhill property is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure twice before cutting anything.

We also service Andersen, Pella, and PGT, which matters when a home has mixed brands and you want one company that won’t blame the other guy’s install. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise. We’ve been doing this since 2008, and Dale Kessler grew up off Oakland Park Boulevard - this is home, not a route number.
