AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Stuart, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Stuart, Martin County, and the surrounding Treasure Coast, including CGI in Jupiter. We’re not a manufacturer affiliate and we don’t claim factory authorization. What we do claim is daily hands-on time with CGI Estate, Classic, Sentinel, and 960 Series units, including the discontinued post-2004 models that show up constantly in Stuart’s rebuild stock after Frances and Jeanne. If you need a repair, hardware replacement, or an honest read on whether a unit should be replaced, call us at (954) 280-4413.
Why Stuart Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI windows are built for hurricane country, but Stuart’s conditions test them in ways even a good product can’t outlast forever. We know the difference between a unit that needs a $200 hardware fix and one that needs a full-frame replacement, and we’ll tell you which one you’re looking at before we touch a screw. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule he learned measuring glass in South Florida’s coastal corridor: if it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall. We still work that way.
Our techs have traced parts for CGI units installed in the frantic months after the 2004 storms, when supply was short and some frames went in with non-standard dimensions. That experience matters in Stuart, because this city has more of those early units per block than almost anywhere else on the Treasure Coast. We keep matched aftermarket hardware available for fast turnaround, and when genuine CGI parts are still in production, we source those too. You get a straight answer, a written line-item estimate, and a crew that shows up when we say we will.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Stuart
Here’s what we see most often on CGI units in this part of Martin County. Each one ties back to something specific about Stuart’s climate, housing stock, or history.
- Weather seal and gasket degradation on early-2000s impact units. The Indian River Lagoon wraps around Stuart on three sides, pushing salt-laden air well inland. We regularly find seals on 2004-2006 CGI units that have hardened and cracked, letting water seep in at sill corners during east-facing rain events. This is a repair we do frequently, and it usually doesn’t require pulling the frame.
- Hardware corrosion on aluminum frames. Latch mechanisms and hinge pins take the worst of it, especially on non-marine-grade finishes facing the prevailing east winds. A door that sticks or a window that won’t lock cleanly is often a corrosion issue, not a frame issue. We replace the hardware with stainless or marine-grade components matched to the original spec.
- Insulated glass seal delamination. Stuart’s humidity and frequent dew point swings put real stress on dual-pane seals. When the seal between panes fails, you get interior fogging that won’t wipe off. On many CGI units, we can replace the insulated glass unit without replacing the whole window frame, which saves thousands.
- Premature glazing compound failure on post-hurricane-shortage units. After Frances and Jeanne, demand for impact windows in Stuart exploded. Some of those early CGI installs used glazing compounds that haven’t held up. We see units where the compound has cracked or separated from the glass edge, compromising the seal and, in some cases, the wind-load rating.
- Roller and track failure on impact sliding glass doors. The same salt air that eats frame hardware also corrodes rollers and sill tracks. A CGI sliding door that’s hard to open isn’t just annoying, it’s a signal that the rollers have seized. Left alone, the door can bind to the point where the frame itself gets damaged.
CGI Service in Stuart: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
There is no other city in the country with Stuart’s exact profile. Frances and Jeanne both made landfall here within three weeks of each other in 2004. That double strike created a wave of impact window and door installations that are now approaching twenty years old, and those units are starting to fail in predictable ways. Seals harden. Rollers corrode. Glazing compounds separate. The post-storm shortage also meant some homeowners got whatever was on the truck, and we now find early CGI units with frame dimensions that don’t match today’s catalog specs. That complicates parts sourcing, but it’s a problem we’ve solved many times over in neighborhoods from Hobe Sound to Palm City and through our Cgi service in Fort Pierce.
Stuart also sits in a 130+ mph design wind speed zone. That’s not an upgrade option, it’s the baseline for code and insurance. When we work on a CGI window or door here, we’re not just fixing a mechanical problem, we’re restoring the unit’s ability to perform in the next storm. For a homeowner off Kanner Highway or in the historic district, that’s the difference between passing a wind mitigation inspection and getting a letter from the insurance company asking questions.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Stuart
We service the CGI product lines most common in Stuart and Martin County: Estate Series, Classic Series, Sentinel Series, and 960 Series. That covers single-hung and casement impact windows, fixed and awning configurations, and the heavy sliding glass doors that show up most in waterfront and canal-adjacent homes.
When it comes to parts, our approach is straightforward. We use genuine CGI parts when they’re available. Many of the first-wave Stuart units are discontinued or use superseded hardware, and in those cases we source matched aftermarket components from suppliers that replicate the original specifications. We also stock common replacement hardware locally so a service call in Stuart doesn’t turn into a two-week wait for a part from out of state. For CGI sales & service, this is the part of the job where experience saves you time and money.
CGI Service Pricing in Stuart
CGI window and door service in Stuart typically runs between $150 and $650 for most hardware, seal, and roller repairs. A full insulated glass unit replacement on a larger CGI window or sliding door can run $400 to $1,200 depending on size and glass package. Full-frame replacement for a standard CGI impact window generally falls between $900 and $1,800 per opening, including installation.
| Service Type | Typical Range (Stuart, FL) |
|---|---|
| Hardware repair (latches, hinges, rollers) | $150-$450 |
| Weather seal / gasket replacement | $180-$400 per unit |
| Insulated glass unit replacement | $400-$1,200 depending on size |

What drives cost in Stuart specifically is the age of the unit and whether the frame has corroded enough to compromise the water and wind performance. A seal repair on a solid 2005 frame is a different job than a 2005 frame with corroded sill corners.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Stuart
No. A broken seal on an insulated glass unit does not require full-frame replacement. We can replace the glass unit itself, re-glaze it into the existing frame, and restore the unit’s wind-load rating, provided the frame is still structurally sound. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll inspect it and tell you which way to go.
They’re very common. Stuart’s double-hurricane history means a huge percentage of homes here have first-wave impact units from the 2004-2006 recovery period, and many of those CGI models are no longer in active production. We source genuine CGI parts when they exist, and for discontinued units we use matched aftermarket components from suppliers that replicate the original specs. We’ve been doing this long enough that most of these superseded parts are things we’ve already tracked down before.
The quick answer is that if your units were installed after the 2002 Florida Building Code took effect and they carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval number, they likely qualify. But the only way to know for sure is a wind mitigation inspection that verifies the glass type, frame anchoring, and glazing compound. We can inspect the openings and tell you what’s there, what’s failed, and what needs attention before the inspector shows up. Call (954) 280-4413 for an honest assessment.
In many cases, yes. Stuart has older neighborhoods around the historic downtown with specific architectural guidelines, and many HOAs in the Palm City and Hobe Sound areas, plus CGI in Palm Beach Gardens, have covenants that dictate frame color and style. Before replacing any CGI window or door, we confirm what your HOA or the city requires, then source a unit that matches. It’s the kind of detail that prevents a very expensive argument later.
In most cases, yes. Seized rollers are usually a hardware problem, not a frame problem. We replace the rollers with matched stainless or marine-grade hardware, clean and re-lubricate the track, and re-align the strike plate. We’ve done this on CGI Estate Series doors in Stuart where the homeowner was told they needed a full door replacement. They didn’t. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote and we’ll tell you what’s actually needed.
