AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Delray Beach, from the A1A barrier island west through Kings Point and Century Village, and also offer CGI in Boynton Beach. The one thing that makes our CGI work different here: we know the two-track approval process in Delray Beach’s 55+ communities better than any installer who doesn’t live with it weekly. Our techs repair and replace CGI impact windows and doors, and we stock OEM-compatible parts locally for same-week turnaround. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a service visit.
TruePane Windows & Doors is not a CGI factory outlet and not manufacturer-affiliated. We’re an independent service provider that has worked on CGI Estate, Sentinel, Classic, and Contractor Series units across Delray Beach for years. Dale Kessler, our owner, has been putting glass and framing into South Florida coastal buildings for over two decades, and he holds every crew to the same rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For the full scope of our CGI sales & service, including new installations and full frame replacements, see our dedicated CGI page.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most window companies in Palm Beach County will tell you they “do” CGI, including those offering CGI repair in Boca Raton. What they mean is they’ll order a CGI window and hang it. That’s not the same as knowing how a 1990s Estate Series slider handles after twenty years of Atlantic salt air, or why a Sentinel Series unit in Century Village binds at the corner when the afternoon sun hits a concrete block wall. Those are the things we deal with every week in Delray Beach.
Dale grew up in Fort Lauderdale’s Sailboat Bend, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows and cursing the humidity. He learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie, then spent the better part of two decades working glass and framing from Coral Ridge to Dania Beach. He’s measured openings twice before a crew ever touched a truck, and that same habit applies to every CGI service call we run, whether in Delray Beach or providing CGI service in Deerfield Beach. When we write up a repair scope, it’s written by someone who has taken apart the same window model in the same coastal conditions. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Aluminum frame oxidation and pitting on west-facing sliders. In Delray Beach’s inland 55+ communities like Kings Point, the ocean is only three to five miles away with no natural barrier. Salt-laden air settles on west-facing CGI frames, eats through the anodized coating, and causes seal failure. We clean, treat, and reseal where the frame is still sound, and recommend replacement where the pitting has compromised the extrusion.
- Weep system clogging from wind-driven sand and salt. A1A oceanfront condos get the worst of it. Sand and salt spray pack into CGI weep holes, block drainage, and pool water inside the frame track. That water sits, corrodes, and eventually finds the drywall. We clear the weep system, replace damaged weep covers with OEM parts, and verify drainage before we leave.
- Sash misalignment and hard closing on original CGI impact sliders. Century Village buildings with unshaded concrete walls absorb intense afternoon sun. Thermal expansion stresses the frame corners, and sliders that moved easily in January bind up by August. We realign the sash, replace worn rollers, and adjust hardware so the door closes without shoulder pressure.
- Fogged double-pane seals in older CGI Estate Series units. Much of Delray Beach’s original impact inventory dates from the 1990s, and buildings without shaded overhangs put those units through relentless solar loading. Seal failure shows as condensation between the panes. Depending on frame condition, we either replace the insulated glass unit or the entire sash, and we’ll tell you which one makes financial sense.
- HOA-mandated hardware and finish matching. This is the Delray Beach problem no other city in the county has at this scale. When a condo association requires the original 1970s bronze anodized profile or a specific SDL grid pattern, the window isn’t just a window. It’s an architectural committee decision. We coordinate the product spec, the finish, and the grid layout before anything gets ordered.
CGI Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about CGI windows and doors in Delray Beach that you won’t hear from a generic CGI dealer: in Century Village and Kings Point, the architectural committee must sign off on frame color, grid pattern, and CGI model before a Palm Beach County permit can be pulled. These communities require the original 1970s bronze or white anodized aluminum profile, and many associations mandate specific SDL grid patterns for visual consistency across the building. That means a contractor who orders product first, then pulls the permit, risks a completed installation being rejected by the committee. The removal comes out of the contractor’s pocket, not the homeowner’s. We don’t order anything until the committee approval is in writing. It’s slower on the front end and faster in the long run, and it’s how every CGI retrofit in those communities should be run.
Palm Beach County also sits in the coastal High-Wind Zone, which is distinct from the stricter HVHZ that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Florida Product Approval is mandatory here, but some lower-cost impact products sold legally in Orlando or Tampa are non-compliant in Delray Beach. CGI’s product approval covers the county’s wind load requirements, but only when the unit is installed with the correct fasteners, anchoring, and glazing beads. That’s the difference between a window that passes a wind mitigation inspection and one that doesn’t. Our crews have guided enough Delray Beach condo owners through Kings Point and Century Village approvals to know exactly what the county inspector will check.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service and replace the full CGI line: Estate Series, Sentinel Series, Classic Series, and Contractor Series. Estate and Sentinel are the most common in Delray Beach’s condo inventory, while Classic and Contractor show up in single-family homes west of I-95 and in nearby areas like CGI in Greenacres. Our parts approach follows a simple rule: for critical components like impact glazing beads, stainless steel hinges, and weep covers, we use OEM CGI parts. Those parts preserve the product approval rating and keep the unit visually identical to the building’s other windows. For non-structural hardware like rollers, handles, and weatherstripping, we use quality aftermarket equivalents when OEM lead times would stall a retrofit. We keep the most common rollers, weatherstrips, and weep covers for CGI sliders on hand for fast Delray Beach turnaround.
We also handle hurricane impact window replacements, historic window restoration for older Delray Beach buildings, and full frame replacement when the original extrusion is too far gone to repair.

CGI Service Pricing in Delray Beach
CGI service pricing in Delray Beach typically runs from $95 for a basic weep system cleaning or hardware adjustment up to $1,100 or more for a full sash rebuild on a large impact slider. Fogged double-pane glass replacement on an Estate Series unit generally lands between $350 and $700 per window, and full frame replacements run higher depending on size and finish matching. What actually drives the cost here is the HOA approval process and whether we’re matching an original bronze anodized profile or a custom grid pattern. A standard white CGI slider is less expensive than a bronze finish with SDL grids ordered to match a 1970s building standard.
Every estimate includes a written scope of work, the parts we’ll use and whether they’re OEM or aftermarket, and the timeline for any HOA or county permit steps. Estimates are free. Call (954) 280-4413 and ask for Dale’s team.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. In Kings Point and Century Village, the architectural committee must approve your frame color, grid pattern, and the specific CGI model before Palm Beach County will issue a permit. Skipping this step means the completed installation can be rejected and the removal becomes your problem or the contractor’s problem. We handle the committee submission and approval as part of every condo retrofit. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll start the paperwork with you.
No, not usually. Fogging means the double-pane seal has failed, which lets moisture into the air space between the glass. If the frame is still sound, we replace the insulated glass unit, not the whole window. On older Estate Series units with advanced frame corrosion, replacement may be the better long-term move. We’ll tell you which one applies after we inspect the unit, and the estimate is free.
West-facing sliders get the full force of the afternoon sun on top of Delray Beach’s salt air. The frame heats and expands, which wears rollers and hinges faster, and the salt accelerates corrosion on hardware. East-facing units get morning sun and less thermal stress. That’s why we see more roller and hinge replacements on the west elevations of Kings Point and Century Village buildings.
You can’t count on it. Palm Beach County’s coastal High-Wind Zone requires Florida Product Approval with specific wind load ratings, and some products sold legally in Orlando or Tampa don’t carry approval for this zone. Your condo association’s architectural committee will also reject product that doesn’t match the original frame profile. CGI’s Estate and Sentinel Series meet the county requirements and offer the bronze and white anodized finishes these buildings expect. Call (954) 280-4413 for a side-by-side quote on paper before you commit to anything.
Yes. CGI still manufactures impact-rated frames in bronze anodized and white finishes that match the original 1970s profiles, and we order them with the grid patterns Century Village committees specify. We’ve completed Estate and Sentinel retrofits with this exact finish matching, and we coordinate the committee approval before the county permit. If you’re facing this requirement, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll bring finish samples to your unit.
