AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Edgewood, FL. The honest answer on what makes our CGI work different here: Edgewood is its own incorporated city with its own permit queue at City Hall, and nearly every house is a 1950s to 1970s concrete block ranch still carrying original aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders. That combination changes how a CGI job gets permitted, inspected, and flashed, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know the difference. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why Edgewood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI builds a serious window, and servicing one properly takes more than a parts catalog. Our crew has spent years replacing failed CGI units in Central Florida’s mid-century CBS ranch homes, particularly the original aluminum jalousie and single-pane sliders that dominate Edgewood’s housing stock. We know which CGI series fit those older rough openings, because we’ve measured enough of them to know that a 1962 opening rarely matches a modern size chart.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after growing up in Sailboat Bend in Fort Lauderdale, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows and cursing the humidity. That detail matters because jalousies are not an abstract problem to us. They’re the reason half of Edgewood has fogged glass and warped tracks. Dale learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie, then put in impact-rated units from Coral Ridge to Dania Beach before building a company around a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not an authorized CGI dealer, and we’ll tell you that up front because we’d rather earn the work on what we know than on a logo on our truck.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Edgewood
- Fogged double-pane glass from seal delamination. Edgewood’s humidity is relentless, and the afternoon heat cycles put real stress on insulated glass seals. We see this most often on CGI units that are 12 to 18 years old, and the fix is usually a new IG unit with fresh argon and a better edge seal, not a full replacement.
- Aluminum frame corrosion and pitting. Central Florida pollen and debris clog the weep holes on CGI frames faster than most homeowners realize. Once water sits in the track, the aluminum starts pitting along the bottom rail. If it’s caught early, we can clean, re-route, and reseal. If the pitting has eaten through, the frame is done.
- Jalousie-to-CGI retrofit failures at the rough opening. This is an Edgewood signature problem. The original CBS framing around a jalousie has often absorbed decades of moisture, and when you pull the old unit, the opening can crack or spall. We prep and repair the rough opening before any new CGI frame goes in.
- Impact-rated CGI doors failing wind-load inspection. A lot of Edgewood homes still have original 1950s to 1970s thresholds, and those thresholds are not rated for current Florida Building Code wind loads. The door might be perfect, but the inspection will fail if the sill was never adapted. We handle that sill work as part of the job.
- Binding sliders and worn rollers. Single-pane sliders are all over Edgewood’s ranch homes, and the original rollers wear out after 40 or 50 years. We replace rollers and latches with genuine CGI OEM parts, then square the panel so it actually moves without a fight.
CGI Service in Edgewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Edgewood is an incorporated city, our CGI installs must go through Edgewood City Hall’s own permit queue, not Orange County’s, and that separate process means our customers get inspections on a schedule that can differ from a job one block over inside Orlando city limits. Locals learn this the hard way when a neighbor’s contractor assumes the county permit covers both sides of the street. It does not. That’s why we always pre-file the Edgewood-specific wind-load and SHGC paperwork before our crew arrives. On a 1968 CBS ranch near Edgewood Drive, we found the original aluminum jalousie windows so corroded along the lower tracks that the owners couldn’t open them after a summer of afternoon storms. We pulled an Edgewood city permit for Edgewood Window Installation, removed the jalousies, and installed CGI Estate impact windows with custom aluminum trim to match the existing CBS openings, then re-flashed each unit to meet Florida Building Code wind-load and SHGC thresholds. The Edgewood inspector signed off on the first visit, and the homeowners noticed the humidity dropped inside within a week.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Edgewood
We service and install the full CGI line you’re likely to find in Edgewood: the Estate Series, Targa Series, Classic Series, and Sentinel Series. Each has different hardware and glazing specifics, and we keep OEM latches, rollers, and impact-rated glass units in local stock for faster turnaround on service calls. For critical components, we use genuine CGI sales & service parts. For weatherstripping and stainless fasteners, we spec quality aftermarket materials when the original parts are no better than what Florida’s climate demands. We’ll tell you which is which before you spend a dollar.
CGI Service Pricing in Edgewood
CGI service pricing in Edgewood typically runs $175 to $425 for common repairs like roller replacement, latch fixes, and re-flashing, while full-frame replacements on mid-century CBS openings start around $1,800 per opening and go up based on the series, glass package, and how much rough-opening work the old jalousie left behind. What drives the cost is the condition of the opening, not just the window in the box. Our free estimate includes a written line-item quote, both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves, and the Done Right Promise. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and we’ll put it on paper, not in a text message.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Edgewood
You need a permit from the City of Edgewood. Edgewood is an incorporated municipality with its own building department and permit queue, so an Orange County permit does not cover work inside Edgewood city limits. We pull Edgewood permits on every job and pre-file the wind-load and SHGC paperwork before our crew shows up. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll confirm the current Edgewood permit timeline for your street.
You cannot retain original jalousie frames and meet current Florida Building Code requirements. Jalousies were never designed for impact-rated glazing, and the frames lack the structural strength to carry it. In nearly every Edgewood ranch home we’ve worked on, full-frame replacement with a CGI impact unit is the only code-compliant path. We measure every opening twice before quoting, because rough openings from that era rarely match modern sizes.
Yes. Orange County has adopted the Florida Building Code, which mandates specific wind-load ratings for all Edgewood Door Installation and window replacements regardless of distance from the coast. Edgewood sits inland and sees lower wind speeds than the coast, but the code still applies, and many original 1950s to 1970s windows in Edgewood cannot meet those ratings. The code also enforces SHGC thresholds for energy performance, which original aluminum jalousies fail outright.
It’s the age of the housing stock. Edgewood’s homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and many still carry original window openings sized for jalousies or single-pane sliders. Those openings often lacked modern flashing and drainage, so moisture has been working into the rough opening for decades. Combined with Edgewood’s high humidity, afternoon heat cycles, and pollen-clogged weep holes, that trapped moisture accelerates pitting and corrosion on any aluminum frame, including CGI’s. We correct the drainage at the opening, not just the frame face.
Yes, within reason. CGI’s Classic and Estate Series offer clean, flat aluminum sightlines that read close to the original mid-century profile. We can spec custom trim, frame color, and grid patterns to keep the house looking like it’s from the era it was built in, while the glazing and frame meet current wind-load and SHGC code. The original look comes from proportion and trim, and we pay attention to both.
