AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Davie, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service, repair, and replace CGI windows and doors across Davie, including the Estate, Classic, and Sentinel lines, plus the Estate Impact Sliding Glass Door, through our Davie Window Installation services. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we give straight answers about what a repair costs and whether it is worth doing at all. One thing separates our CGI work in Davie from anywhere else: we know exactly what horse-country zoning and forty-year-old CBS ranch framing do to these extrusions. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.
Why Davie Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Plenty of companies can order a CGI window. Fewer have dismantled hundreds of them, replaced rollers on Estate sliders that face pasture runoff, and reframed jalousie openings on Western Ranches properties where the original wood bucking has gone soft. Our crews have worked CGI’s Hurricane and Estate lines across South Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone for over a decade. Dale Kessler learned the trade at McFatter Technical College right here in Davie, and the standard has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We stock factory CGI hardware, rollers, and balance systems for faster turnaround on most service calls. When budgets allow and the part is still in production, that is what goes in. When it is not, we machine OEM-equivalent stops and locks to specification rather than handing you a plastic aftermarket substitute that fails in two seasons. Every technician who walks onto your Davie property is background-checked and uniformed, and every quote is written out on paper so you see the manufacturer line, the warranty terms, and the labor separately.
As an independent provider, we are not beholden to a CGI sales quota. If a repair makes sense, we say so. If a full frame replacement is the only honest fix because the corrosion will keep coming back, we tell you that in plain language and price it fairly.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Davie
CGI equipment is well built, but Davie’s particular mix of humidity, UV intensity, and agricultural air does things to aluminum and glass that you will not see in air-conditioned showrooms. Here are the failure patterns we see most often on service calls:
- Oxidation at the weep-hole weld points on Estate Series horizontal sliders. Davie’s humidity never lets the aluminum fully dry, and on properties with horse stalls nearby, trace ammonia from barn ventilation accelerates the pitting. The lower corners of the frame are almost always the first place we see white powder and structural thinning.
- Insulated glass seal delamination on original double-pane Sentinel hung windows. Years of direct South Florida sun breaks down the sealant, and once humidity gets between the panes, the glass clouds permanently. On ranches built in the 1970s and 1980s, the original glazing rarely met current impact standards anyway, so repair is often a false economy.
- Roller degradation and track pitting on wide Estate sliding doors. These are the big patio sliders on ranch homes designed for indoor-outdoor living. When a thunderstorm rolls through fast, doors get slammed shut hard. Repeated impact chews up the roller bearings and scores the track until the door binds or hops off.
- Latch-side frame pitting on Classic casement windows. On many older Davie ranch homes, window air conditioner units drain condensate directly across the sill. Constant standing water on the frame corrosion-proofs the latch mechanism within a few seasons, and the operator crank starts to grind.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion on original ranch openings. This is not a repair failure so much as a code failure: the original jalousie or louvered windows that came standard on 1970s Davie ranch homes cannot meet HVHZ impact requirements in any retrofit form. The only legal path is full-frame tear-out and replacement, which changes the scope of what homeowners expect to pay.
CGI Service in Davie: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Davie is the only municipality in Broward County with widespread equestrian zoning, and that single fact shapes CGI equipment failures here more than any manufacturer spec sheet ever will. A significant share of the housing stock sits on oversized agricultural parcels, many still zoned for horses, and homes built from the mid-1960s through the early 1990s in communities like Western Ranches and the neighborhoods off Orange Drive were framed around original aluminum-frame jalousie windows and single-pane sliding glass doors. Those openings cannot legally be repaired into HVHZ compliance. The Florida Building Code requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or NOA, on every window and door sold or installed in Davie, and the NOA applies to a specific product tested as a complete assembly. You do not get one for an insert you slipped into a forty-year-old frame.
Beyond the code issue, there is the chemical reality of living near horse country. Ammonia from stall bedding and manure dust settles on exterior metal surfaces and works into the microscopic pores in anodized aluminum. On a CGI Estate slider near a pasture, the weep-hole weld points oxidize far faster than the identical product installed across the street from a shopping center. We see this pattern in Davie constantly, and the fix is not a touch-up. The correct repair is full frame replacement with proper flashing and new stainless fasteners. Our crew recently cut out an original jalousie unit on a CBS ranch off Orange Drive after the homeowner showed us a failed CGI Estate impact window installed only two years earlier. The lower weep-hole welds had oxidized completely through, and the glass seal had turned cloudy. We did a full-frame tear-out, reframed the opening to remove rotted wood bucking, and set a new CGI Sentinel casement with marine-grade stainless steel hinges. The final NOA sticker went on just as the afternoon thunderstorm rolled across the ranch.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Davie
We service the full CGI product range found on Davie homes: the CGI Estate Series and CGI Classic Series for casement and picture windows, the CGI Sentinel Series for hung windows, and the CGI Estate Impact Sliding Glass Door for patio and lanai openings. When a part is still in production, we order factory CGI hardware, rollers, and balance systems. When a profile line has been discontinued, we machine OEM-equivalent aluminum stops and sash locks to the original extrusion specification. That matters on older Davie ranch homes where replacing a discontinued Classic Series casement would otherwise mean replacing the entire window over a broken latch.
For any opening that sits near an air conditioner, a horse stall, or standing water drainage, we will not chase corrosion with patch work. The honest recommendation is full-frame replacement with new flashing, because patching a corroded CGI frame in Davie’s humidity only buys you a hurricane season or two before it fails the same way.
CGI Service Pricing in Davie
CGI service costs in Davie run from around $200 to $450 for a hardware repair like a roller or latch replacement, and from $1,800 to $4,500 for a full-frame CGI impact window installation depending on size, opening condition, and which model line you select. A full-frame tear-out on a 1970s jalousie-to-impact conversion typically runs higher because the old wood bucking must be removed, the opening reframed, and the new unit flashed and sealed to NOA specification before inspection. A new Davie Door Installation for a CGI Estate Impact Sliding Glass Door generally falls between $4,000 and $8,500 installed, with the wider ranch-home openings pushing toward the upper end.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Davie
Because a jalousie frame cannot meet the Miami-Dade NOA requirements that Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone imposes on every opening in Davie. An NOA certifies a complete window or door assembly, including the frame, tested as one unit against impact and wind pressure. You cannot bolt a new impact-rated sash into a forty-year-old aluminum jalousie frame and receive an NOA for it. Davie’s Building Department will not pass the permit. The only legal path is full-frame tear-out and replacement, with the new unit flashed and anchored per the tested installation method. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will measure the opening and show you your NOA-compliant options on paper.
It affects them in two ways. First, the proximity of stall bedding and manure dust puts ammonia and organic acids into the air, which accelerates corrosion on exposed aluminum frames and hardware. On CGI Estate and Classic series units near paddocks, we recommend stainless steel hardware upgrades where available, and we pay particular attention to weep-hole weld integrity during every service call. Second, openings that face pasture runoff or prevailing barn winds take more direct storm exposure, so the glazing package and attachment method matter more than the catalog description. We quote the specific product and anchoring method for your exact site conditions, not a generic Broward County package.
Persistent fogging between the glass panes is not normal. It means the insulated glass seal has failed, which allows humid outside air into the space between the panes. Davie’s year-round humidity makes this failure visible faster than in drier climates, and the intense UV exposure degrades the sealant over time. If the fog is on the interior surface of the glass, that is a home ventilation issue and unrelated to the window itself. If it is between the panes, the seal is gone and the glass needs replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will inspect the unit and give you a straight answer on whether it is a seal failure covered under warranty or a replacement situation.
In Davie, two things are working against your sliding door. The first is wind-driven rain and debris: when a storm pushes against the outside face of a wide Estate slider, water and grit get driven into the track, and the roller bearings grind through that abrasive mix. The second is how the door gets treated during a storm. Wide ranch-home sliders get slammed shut fast when rain comes in sideways, and that impact shock loads the rollers against the track. Over several seasons, the bearings flatten, the rollers skid instead of spin, and the track starts to pit. The fix is replacement of both the rollers and the track, not just one component. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate and we will tell you if the track is worth repairing or if a full replacement is the cheaper long-term move.
Ask your window contractor to show you the actual Miami-Dade NOA document for the exact product and size range they are quoting, not a marketing sheet. The NOA number must match the specific CGI model line, the specific glazing package, and the tested installation method for your wall type, concrete block stucco in most Davie ranch homes. You also want the installation anchor schedule from the NOA, because a full-frame replacement on an older CBS ranch often requires additional anchoring around the perimeter to meet current code. We pull the NOA for every job we quote and include a copy with your written estimate. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote that includes the paperwork, not just a handshake.
