AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service throughout Royal Palm Beach and nearby communities, from CGI in West Palm Beach to single-pane replacements in the older CBS tract subdivisions to full impact retrofits on newer estate homes. What makes our CGI work different here is simple: we’ve spent years inside the village’s 1975 to 1995 housing stock and we know exactly how its building department triggers upgrades that unincorporated Palm Beach County never does. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on any CGI repair or replacement. We’re not the manufacturer, and we won’t pretend to be – we’re the crew that fixes what the factory warranty already walked away from.
Why Royal Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Fort Lauderdale watching his father reseal jalousie windows in hundred-degree humidity, and he’s been working glass and framing in South Florida’s coastal corridor ever since. That background matters when you’re dealing with CGI products in Royal Palm Beach and surrounding areas like CGI service in Greenacres, because the village’s housing stock is its own animal – mostly concrete block tract homes built before impact codes existed, with original aluminum frames that have been oxidizing in UV and salt air for forty years. Our crews know which CGI lines hold up in this inland climate and which ones develop problems after fifteen or twenty years of afternoon thunderstorms and irrigation overspray. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including CGI, but for service and repair work we’re independent – we answer to you, not to a factory rep in Miami. Every job gets a written line-item quote before work starts, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Royal Palm Beach
- Oxidized aluminum frames on Estate Collection units. This is the most common call we get from the older subdivisions near Royal Palm Beach Boulevard and Crestwood Boulevard. Years of irrigation overspray mixed with high humidity accelerates pitting on the frame edges, especially where the weep holes drain. We clean, treat, and reseal where the frame is sound, and tell you straight when a full replacement is the cheaper long-term move.
- Seized or misaligned sliding glass door rollers on Classic impact sliders. Sand, humidity, and thirty years of daily use work their way into the track until the original steel rollers disintegrate. We’ve pulled doors off homes near the village center that were riding on the frame itself – the track had already eaten a groove. Stainless aftermarket roller assemblies matched to CGI profile dimensions fix it, and we re-shim the frame square so the door locks properly again.
- Delaminated double-pane seals on Sentinel fixed and picture windows. South Florida UV is relentless, even fifteen miles inland. The EPDM and vinyl seals on CGI’s fixed units fail faster here than they would in central or northern Florida, and you’ll see fogging between the panes. We replace the sealed glass unit with genuine CGI IGUs when they’re still available.
- Warped or brittle vinyl sash corners on Craftsman single hungs. Repeated thermal cycling – morning sun, afternoon thunderstorm, overnight humidity – stresses the corner welds on vinyl sashes. Brittle corners crack, the sash loses its square, and air starts leaking around the weatherstripping. We can often repair the sash corner rather than replacing the whole window, which saves real money.
- Jalousie windows in Florida rooms and utility areas. Not a CGI product, but it might as well be on every impact job in Royal Palm Beach. Those louvered glass windows from the 1970s and 80s cannot be retrofitted to any hurricane-compliance standard. When the village building department requires impact upgrades, the jalousies have to go, and we quote the replacement as a full opening – never a patch.
CGI Service in Royal Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Royal Palm Beach has its own building department, separate from Palm Beach County, and that changes things in a way few homeowners expect. Pull any permit – even for interior renovations – and the village triggers a review of your original aluminum single-pane windows and non-impact sliding glass doors. If they don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load standards, you’re upgrading them. Not when it’s convenient. As part of the job you already pulled the permit for. We’ve walked homeowners through this on homes off Crestwood Boulevard where a kitchen remodel turned into a four-opening impact replacement, because the code trigger doesn’t care that you only planned to move a wall. For CGI owners specifically, this means your older Estate or Classic units may be impact-rated and compliant, but the original single-panes next to them are not. We help Royal Palm Beach homeowners figure out what actually needs replacing versus what the inspector just flagged for documentation. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We service the full residential CGI line you’re likely to find in Royal Palm Beach homes: Estate Collection, Classic Impact Windows, Sentinel Series, and Craftsman Series. For warranty continuity, we use genuine CGI replacement hardware and sealed glass units whenever they’re available. But here’s the honest part – we work on a lot of long-discontinued Estate and Classic parts that CGI no longer stocks, and for those we source marine-grade aftermarket stainless steel hinges, rollers, and weep covers that match the original profile dimensions. We’ll always tell you when a failing unit is cheaper to replace than patch, especially if it shares an opening with jalousies that have to go anyway. For broader CGI product details and sales information, see our CGI sales & service page.
CGI Service Pricing in Royal Palm Beach
CGI repair pricing in Royal Palm Beach depends on what you’re fixing and how old the unit is. Roller replacements on sliding doors generally run $185 to $340 per door, depending on whether we’re replacing the rollers only or re-shimming and squaring the frame. Sealed glass unit replacements on Sentinel picture windows typically land between $320 and $680 per unit, with larger custom sizes on the higher end. Sash corner repairs on Craftsman single hungs range from $145 to $285. Full impact window replacement runs $800 to $1,900 per opening, depending on size, frame type, and design pressure requirements. Every free estimate includes a written line-item quote with both warranty layers registered in writing, so you see exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach
Not automatically. The village’s code trigger is permit-based: if you pull a permit for any renovation work, the building department reviews your existing openings and may require non-compliant windows and sliders in the permit scope to be brought up to code. Replacing one window on your own doesn’t force a whole-house swap, but a kitchen remodel or addition permit likely will. We can tell you what the inspector is going to look at before you file. Call (954) 280-4413 for a straight answer on your specific situation.
The village has its own independent building department that applies Florida Building Code wind-load standards more aggressively than unincorporated Palm Beach County. In county jurisdiction, a like-for-like slider repair may not trigger a full opening review, unlike CGI repair in Palm Beach Gardens where standards can vary. In Royal Palm Beach, the same job often does. We work with both jurisdictions regularly and quote to the stricter standard, so there are no surprises when the inspector arrives.
Jalousie windows are louvered glass with no structural rating for wind-borne debris, and they cannot be retrofitted to meet any hurricane-compliance standard – shutters or not. If your permit triggers an impact upgrade, the jalousies come out and get replaced with rated fixed or single-hung units. We see this constantly in the older subdivisions near Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, where jalousies are still common in Florida rooms and utility areas.
The original aluminum single-pane units, not CGI products. Most homes built between 1975 and 1995 got builder-grade aluminum, and many are still in place. When the village requires impact upgrades during a remodel or sale, we replace them with CGI impact lines – most often the Classic Impact window for its hurricane rating and price point in the village’s CBS tract homes.
In most cases, yes, if you want a fully rated CGI opening. The impact rating covers the entire assembly – frame, glass, and anchoring – not just the glass. A non-rated aluminum frame cannot be field-upgraded to meet CGI’s design pressure requirements. We’ll quote you a full frame replacement with proper anchoring, and it’s almost always the cheaper route than trying to retrofit glass into a frame that won’t pass wind mitigation anyway. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote.
