AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Jupiter, from the Intracoastal-front streets to the ranch neighborhoods west of Military Trail. The short version: we repair and replace CGI units every week, we use OEM parts where the impact rating depends on it, and we quote the work with real Jupiter salt-air experience behind the number. We’re not a CGI dealer and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a local glass and framing company that has spent years learning how coastal Florida weather treats windows and doors. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on any CGI repair or replacement in Jupiter.
Why Jupiter Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up in Sailboat Bend and learned the trade at McFatter Technical College before spending two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor. That background matters when you’re dealing with CGI product in Jupiter, because the work here is not the same as CGI repair in West Palm Beach or twelve miles inland. Salt spray off the Jupiter Inlet changes how aluminum frames corrode, how rollers wear, and how fast a window that was “fine last year” becomes a water intrusion problem. We see those failure patterns weekly, which means our techs can usually tell you what’s wrong within minutes of looking at the unit, not after a parts catalog search. We are independent of the manufacturer. If a CGI part is structural, we use OEM. If it’s cosmetic, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that match the finish and hold up the same length of time. Either way, you get the truth about what the repair will and won’t fix, in writing, before any work starts.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Jupiter
CGI product is well built, but Jupiter is not a gentle environment. These are the five failure patterns we see most often on service calls here:
- Interlocking sashes that bind on sliders. Years of salt air pitting the sill track is the usual cause, especially on Intracoastal-front homes where storm season sends brackish spray across the track. The rollers grind aluminum shavings into the channel, and the door gets harder to move every month. We clean, re-roll, and re-set the sash, and we’ll tell you honestly if the track is too far gone to save.
- Clogged and overflowing weep holes. Salt and sand blown from Jupiter Beach pack into the weep system on CGI aluminum frames. Water that should drain out instead sits behind the frame, corroding the mounting flange where you cannot see it. We clear the weep paths and inspect the flange for hidden damage while we’re there.
- Micro-cracked glazing beads on early-2000s CGI impact units. Jupiter’s hot summer afternoons followed by sudden Inlet squalls create thermal shock that stresses the factory bead. Once it cracks, water gets behind the glass. The fix is a re-glaze with the correct bead profile, but only if the frame is still sound.
- Pitted stainless hinges on Estate swing doors. The lower hinge nearest the threshold takes the worst of it, because splashback from driveways and pavers keeps that metal wet. A pitted hinge on an impact-rated door is a security and wind-load liability. We replace it with the OEM hinge specified for the unit.
- Fogged glass on single-pane-to-impact retrofits. Seals fail faster near salt water, period. Homes within a mile of the Inlet see fogging on original thermopane units a good five to seven years earlier than homes in Jupiter Farms. When the seal goes, you replace the insulated glass unit, not the whole frame, assuming the frame is worth keeping. We’ll measure twice and tell you which way the math goes.
CGI Service in Jupiter: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Jupiter is the only city in Palm Beach County where the Jupiter Inlet funnels Atlantic salt spray directly into neighborhoods along the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal, and that changes the math on CGI service. We see double-hung frames pitting on the latch side within three to four years of installation on streets within a half-mile of the Inlet. The same product installed a mile west in Palm Beach Gardens CGI service territory might go a decade before showing the same corrosion. If you own CGI windows on a waterfront or near-coastal Jupiter street, check the latch-side frame corners and the lower hinge on swing doors every six months. Early pitting is a phone call. Ignored pitting becomes a rough opening teardown. If the frame itself is corroded or out of square, repair is throwing good money at bad metal. We will tell you that to your face, even when it means a bigger job for us.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Jupiter
Our crews service the full CGI residential range: the Estate Collection, Sentinel Impact Series, Classic 600 Series, and Estate Impact French Doors. We stock common OEM rollers, hinge sets, locking hardware, and weatherstripping profiles for the most-installed CGI lines in Jupiter, which means most repairs do not wait on a parts truck from a distributor. For impact-rated framing and glazing components, we order OEM and verify the part number against the unit’s original sticker before installing. For trim, screen frames, and weatherstripping, we use aftermarket equivalents that match the finish and hold up to the same salt exposure. If you’re not sure which model you have, read the manufacturing sticker on the frame or panel edge and call (954) 280-4413. We’ll help you identify it over the phone.
CGI Service Pricing in Jupiter
Most CGI service calls in Jupiter fall into a predictable range. Here’s what we typically see:
- Slider roller replacement (parts and labor): $180-$340 per panel, depending on track condition and hardware spec.
- Weep hole clearing and track service: $95-$160, assuming no hidden flange damage requiring more work.
- Hinge replacement on Estate swing doors: $150-$320 per hinge set, OEM parts included.
- Insulated glass unit replacement for fogged seal failure: $240-$580 per panel, depending on size and glass pack.
- Full-frame impact slider or window replacement (salt-corroded frame): $1,400-$3,600 per opening, including tear-out, reframing if needed, and new impact unit specified for Jupiter’s 160+ mph wind zone.
What drives the cost in Jupiter is almost always the frame condition. A unit from the 1990s near the water has spent 30 years in salt air. Some frames are fine with new hardware. Others need the rough opening rebuilt before a new unit can be set. Our free estimate includes a straight answer on which category yours falls into, along with a written line-item quote. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule one.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter
Because the Jupiter Inlet pushes salt-laden Atlantic air directly across those streets, and salt air plus aluminum equals corrosion. The sill track gets pitted, the rollers wear against the rough surface, and the door binds. The same unit in Jupiter Farms, five miles west and out of the spray pattern, often runs twice as long before needing CGI repair in North Palm Beach or similar inland areas. If you live on the water, budget for roller and track maintenance every three to five years. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll take a look.
No, not the HVHZ approval itself. What Jupiter does require is compliance with Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, which put coastal Jupiter in a 160+ mph design wind zone. Your CGI units need to have product approval documents that match that wind speed for your specific location. We handle wind mitigation and code compliance paperwork on replacement work, and we’ll pull the right product approval for your street before any order goes in.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. If the corrosion is surface-level and the frame is still square, a sash replacement or re-glaze works. If the flange is corroded, the weep system has been failing for years, or the frame is out of square, reusing it is a bad bet. You’d be spending good money on a frame that fails again in a few years. We’ll tell you which way we’d spend it if it were our house.
They order based on the previous window’s measurements without accounting for what 30 years of salt air has done to the rough opening. The old frame may have hidden water damage behind it, and the new unit’s mounting flange needs sound material to anchor into. Our techs measure the rough opening, not just the old frame, and we scope the reframing work before you commit to an order. Call (954) 280-4413 for measurement and a quote.
Often yes, particularly in communities like Admirals Cove or along the Intracoastal where architectural standards are strict. Before a replacement window or door is ordered, check your community’s design guidelines for approved frame colors, styles, and finish specifications. We’ve worked with several Jupiter HOAs and can help you prepare the architectural application. The approval needs to happen before the unit is ordered, not after it arrives.
