CGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent Atlantis Window Installation and door service throughout Atlantis, Florida. We’re not a franchise operation, and we’re not tied to any manufacturer’s sales script. What makes our CGI work different here is simple: we know how these products fail in Atlantis specifically, where salt air meets 1960s aluminum frames and the city’s architectural review board keeps its own checklist. Call (954) 280-4413 when a CGI window or door stops working the way it should.
Why Atlantis Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Sailboat Bend, not far from here, and learned glazing at McFatter Technical College in Davie before spending two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor. That background matters when you’re dealing with CGI products in Atlantis, because most of what goes wrong here is predictable. The salt air corrodes aluminum screw bosses. The sun bakes south-facing IGUs until seals fail. The sandy fill shifts and screen tracks collapse. We’ve seen every one of these failures on CGI windows and doors in Atlantis, and we know which ones call for a repair and which ones call for a full-frame replacement.
We carry OEM CGI glazing, hardware, and weatherstripping whenever it’s available, because CGI frame extrusion tolerances are tight and aftermarket parts don’t always match. When a part is discontinued or backordered, we use approved aftermarket components that we test for wind-load continuity before they go in. You get a straight answer on what’s right for your home, not what’s easiest to sell. The same standard applies to our CGI sales & service work across Palm Beach County – if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Atlantis
- Salt-air pitting and galvanic corrosion on CGI Estate Series patio door headers. The aluminum-to-stainless screw bosses are the weak point. Within a decade of ocean-adjacent exposure, they corrode to white powder, the rollers misalign, and the panel starts binding. We pull the header, machine out the stripped screws, re-tap to oversized stainless fasteners, and true the roller carriage. No full tear-out required.
- Clouded or seal-failed IGUs on large CGI picture and fixed windows. Atlantis homes are full of wraparound picture windows and oversized fixed glass from the original buildout. South-facing units take direct sun for eight hours a day, and the original low-E coatings eventually break down. We reglaze the sash in place – the frame stays put, and you get clear glass again without pulling the wall apart.
- Frozen locking handles and multipoint strikes on CGI French and swing doors. Humidity and salt build up inside the concealed espagnolette channel and seize the mechanism. We disassemble, clean, lubricate, and replace the strikes when they’re beyond saving. If the door still doesn’t throw the lock cleanly, we’ll tell you that too.
- Hardened or collapsed screen track glides on CGI sliding windows and doors. Atlantis sits on older sandy fill, and decades of settling shifts the track alignment. Panels jump the rail or refuse to glide. We replace the glides, reset the track, and adjust the rollers so the panel rides true again.
- Stripped operator arms on CGI crank-out casement windows. The 1980s-era casements still found around Atlantis were built with pot-metal operator arms that fatigue over time. When the arm strips, the window won’t seal. We stock replacement operators for most CGI casement lines and can usually swap one out in a single visit.
CGI Service in Atlantis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Atlantis that nobody tells you until it’s too late: the city government functions more like a private community association than a municipality. That means a window or door replacement can pass Palm Beach County permitting for wind-borne debris protection and still get flagged by Atlantis City Hall for aesthetic non-conformance. Frame color, grid pattern, exterior profile – if the city’s architectural review checklist says the replacement departs from the original 1960s-to-1980s ranch glazing, final sign-off gets held. This doesn’t happen one block outside city limits in unincorporated county pockets, and it doesn’t happen in Lake Worth Beach. It’s specific to Atlantis. So when we service CGI windows and doors here, we’re not just thinking about wind-load calcs. We’re thinking about whether that replacement mullion pattern will pass the city’s visual review. If you’re planning a full-frame CGI retrofit, we spec the frame profile and color against the original before we order anything. It’s the only way to avoid a callback that costs you weeks.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Atlantis
We work on the full CGI residential line: Estate Collection picture and casement windows, Estate Series aluminum sliding glass doors, Custom Classic single and double hung windows, and Architectural Series fixed and awning windows. Our default is OEM CGI glazing, hardware, and weatherstripping, because the extrusion tolerances and locking geometry are matched to the frame. For discontinued lines or urgent repairs, we stock approved aftermarket rollers, sealants, and multipoint strikes that have been checked for wind-load continuity. We only recommend full-frame replacement when the aluminum itself is corroded through or the glass unit no longer meets current high-velocity hurricane zone ratings. Otherwise, we repair what’s repairable and leave the frame alone.
CGI Service Pricing in Atlantis
CGI service pricing in Atlantis depends on what’s actually wrong. A stripped operator arm or a seized locking handle is a $100-$300 repair, parts and labor together. A blown IGU on a standard picture window runs $250-$600 depending on glass size and coating. A slider roller and track rebuild typically lands between $175 and $400. Full-frame replacement of original 1960s aluminum with a CGI impact-rated unit runs $2,000-$4,000 per opening, and in Atlantis you’re often looking at multiple openings at once. Your estimate is free, it’s written line by line, and the number we quote is the number you pay. The Done Right Promise covers every job. Call (954) 280-4413 to get an exact quote for your windows or doors.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Atlantis
Yes, in most cases we can reglaze the sash in place and leave the frame untouched. That means lower cost and no drywall or stucco repair. The exception is when the frame itself has corroded or the existing unit no longer meets current impact standards, in which case we’ll tell you why replacement is the only honest option. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll assess it at no charge.
It’s common, but it’s not something you have to live with. Salt air accelerates corrosion at the aluminum screw bosses on the door header, which throws the rollers out of alignment and makes the panel bind. We service this exact issue regularly in Atlantis, and the fix is usually a roller rebuild plus re-tapping the header screws – not a new Atlantis Door Installation. Call (954) 280-4413 if your door is dragging.
Not necessarily. Atlantis City Hall maintains its own architectural review checklist separate from the county permit, and a frame color that departs from the original ranch-era glazing can be flagged even after Palm Beach County approves the wind-load calcs. We spec frame color, profile, and mullion pattern against the original before ordering, so the city review doesn’t become a surprise. Call (954) 280-4413 before you commit to a color.
Impact-rated CGI glass that meets Florida Building Code testing standards satisfies the wind-borne debris requirement on its own; an additional shutter system is not required for code compliance. That said, some Atlantis homeowners still add shutters for insurance premium reasons. We’ll walk you through both options in writing. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free compliance review.
If the frame is sound and the glass is intact, repairing the operator arm and replacing worn weatherstripping is almost always the better value. Original 1980s CGI casements that haven’t corroded through can run another decade or more with proper maintenance. When the aluminum is pitted through or the glazing no longer meets current impact standards, replacement becomes the honest recommendation. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you which situation you’re in.
