South Palm Beach Window Installation and door service is work we’ve done for years, and the quick answer is this: we service every CGI line you’re likely to find in this town’s condo towers, we use OEM parts where it matters, and we quote every job with the milestone inspection sign-off and opening permit bundled in as one line item so the board doesn’t stall. We’re not the manufacturer and we don’t claim to be. We’re an independent shop that knows these units inside and out, and we’ve rebuilt enough of them along South Ocean Boulevard to know exactly how salt air treats a CGI frame. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come take a look.
Why South Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
South Palm Beach runs on association schedules. Boards meet, engineers file reports, and window work either gets packaged correctly or it gets tabled for another season. We’ve sat through enough of those cycles to build our quotes the way a Palm Beach County milestone inspector wants to see them: South Palm Beach Door Installation or window swap, Florida Product Approval, engineering letter, permit. All on one sheet.
Dale Kessler started this company because he kept seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties on coastal high-rises. He learned glass and framing at McFatter Technical College in Davie and spent two decades on South Florida’s coastal corridor before founding TruePane in 2008. The rule on his whiteboard has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our CGI work in South Palm Beach runs on that rule.
We also answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day. When a board member calls at 7 a.m. about a lanai slider that seized overnight, they get a person who knows what a corner key is, not a call tree.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in South Palm Beach
- Salt-driven pitting on Estate Series frame bottoms. The dual exposure here, Atlantic on one side and Intracoastal on the other, means fine salt crust builds on threshold screws and bottom rails faster than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. We see weep systems that have seized shut and water backing into the track. We clean, replace OEM gaskets, and restore drainage before the frame rots.
- Fogged insulated glass in older CGI replacements. Barrier-island humidity makes a failed seal impossible to ignore. When an original CGI unit fogs between the panes, the glass package has to go. We measure, order, and reset the sash with the correct setting blocks so the new unit sits true in the old frame.
- Corroded rollers and hinges on sliding glass doors. The latch side is where salt crust collects. Panels start to drag, then bind. We strip and replace the stainless hardware, adjust the track, and get the door gliding without taking it off the wall.
- Cracked corner keys and gaskets on Magnum Series frames. Upper-floor condos take wind-driven rain and pressure differentials that stress sash corners harder than ground-level homes. We replace corner keys with OEM parts because aftermarket pieces often don’t match the original extrusion profile.
- Original jalousie and single-pane lanai enclosures flagged in milestone inspections. These are the urgent jobs. SB 4-D forced associations to look at 40-year-old lanai glass. We gut the opening and install CGI impact sliders that pass engineering review the first time.
CGI Service in South Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
South Palm Beach is a single ribbon of 1970s and 1980s condo towers squeezed between the ocean and the Intracoastal. That geography matters for one specific reason: every window and door on the barrier island gets hit with salt from both sides simultaneously. Inland communities deal with humidity. South Palm Beach deals with a fine, persistent salt mist that works its way into frame corners, threshold screws, and roller bearings around the clock. For CGI owners, that means the failure pattern is not random. It starts at the bottom rail on the ocean side, moves to the latch hardware, and eventually reaches the corner keys. Boards that catch problems at stage one save real money. Boards that wait until the milestone inspection flags a life-safety issue are paying to replace entire openings instead of servicing them.
CGI Models & Products We Service in South Palm Beach
We service the full CGI range you’re likely to find in this town’s towers: Estate Series impact windows, Estate Collection sliding glass doors, Magnum Series impact windows, and Estate Classic single-hung windows. For critical weather-sealing and impact components (gaskets, rollers, corner keys) we order OEM CGI parts. These units carry Florida Product Approval and a building’s NOA uniformity depends on matching the original extrusion profiles. For non-structural hardware like locksets and handles, we offer solid aftermarket equivalents when the original CGI part is obsolete. And when a frame is corroded enough that repairing it twice costs more than replacing it once, we say so plainly. We’ve rebuilt enough of these to know where the line is. For broader CGI sales & service, we cover the full coastal corridor.
CGI Service Pricing in South Palm Beach
Most CGI service calls in South Palm Beach run between $180 and $450 for hardware, gasket, and roller work. Full sash glass replacement starts around $350 and climbs with size and glass package. Full frame replacement on an Estate or Magnum unit runs $1,200 to $3,800 installed, depending on the opening and whether we’re reframing rotted substrate behind the stucco. A complete lanai conversion from jalousie to impact sliders varies too much to quote blind, which is why we come measure first.
Our written estimate is free and itemized. It includes the window swap, the engineering letter, the permit, and the milestone inspection packaging as separate lines so the board sees exactly what it is paying for. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote that will not shift once the work starts.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
Yes, provided it carries Florida Product Approval for large-missile impact and the installation is documented with the opening permit and engineering sign-off. That’s the package we deliver, and the field vignette above shows how it passed a South Ocean Boulevard tower’s follow-up inspection without a single deficiency. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate.
The Estate Classic single-hung is the closest match to the original aluminum profiles these towers were built with. It keeps the sightlines similar while bringing the opening up to current impact code. If the board wants a more contemporary look, the Estate Series gives a cleaner frame line. We quote both side by side on paper so the decision is apples to apples.
Yes, we can do one opening, and we do it often. The engineering letter covers that specific lintel and opening condition, so the permit stays isolated to the unit. That keeps costs contained for owners who cannot wait for a full floor or building cycle. Our company is an independent CGI service in South Pasadena provider too, so single-opening work is normal for us.
The ocean side takes direct salt spray, and that salt works into the balance channels and weatherstripping. The sash drags because the friction has changed, not because the window is worn out. We clean the channels, replace the balances, and reset the sash. It’s a service call, not a replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you the cost over the phone.
Yes, and the documentation is what triggers it. Your insurer needs the Florida Product Approval number, the opening permit, and the installation certificate. We provide all three on every impact install we complete in South Palm Beach, and we fill out the wind mitigation form while we’re on site. For owners in CGI service in Southwest Ranches, we do the same.
