CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL

CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors

We provide independent CGI window and door service across Hollywood, FL, and nearby areas including Cgi in North Miami Beach. We’re not a manufacturer affiliate. We’re a local glazing company that works on CGI products every week, and we know the dual-approval process Hollywood’s building department enforces: every replacement unit needs both a current Miami-Dade NOA and a Broward County product approval before a permit gets pulled. That one requirement eliminates most of the headaches on the beach side. If your CGI windows or doors need service, call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.

Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

TruePane Windows & Doors has served Hollywood since 2008. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after spending two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor, and he learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie before that. The crews we send to Hollywood and our Fort Lauderdale Cgi service teams work on CGI products regularly, so there’s no learning curve on the job. We know how CGI Sentinel Series windows behave after ten years of salt air, we know which parts interchange across model years, and we carry the OEM hardware and sealed glazing units that keep your warranty intact. When a part is discontinued, we spec aftermarket components that match the original corrosion resistance rather than whatever is cheapest at the supply house.

One more thing matters in Hollywood. We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form. When a CGI sliding door binds or a latch fails after a storm, you get a person on the line who can talk through what’s happening and schedule service.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood

• Salt-air pitting on CGI aluminum frames. Along A1A and the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, wind-driven salt settles into the latch side of double-hung windows and eats into the aluminum. We routinely see frames with pitting deep enough to compromise the weather seal. The fix is either a frame rebuild or full replacement, depending on how far the corrosion has gone.
• Weep-hole blockages from salt and sand. CGI frames have weep channels designed to drain water. Wind-driven salt and sand from the beach pack into those channels, water gets trapped, and the seal delaminates. We clear the weeps, test the drainage, and replace the glazing unit when the seal has already failed.
• Bent or seized rollers on CGI sliding glass doors. In pre-1980 condo towers along the Intracoastal, years of humidity and salt exposure seize the original rollers. Doors get hard to move, then impossible. We replace rollers, tracks when needed, and re-align the panel so it slides without fighting you.
• Fogging in older CGI double-pane units. Older CGI installs in Hollywood, particularly on original 1960s and 1970s condos, sometimes skipped proper flashing. Water finds its way in, the seal fails, and the glass fogs between panes. We replace the sealed unit and correct the flashing so the problem doesn’t return.
• Latch and hardware failures after hurricanes. Impact-rated CGI windows are designed to take a hit, but the latch hardware takes abuse over time. After Hollywood storms, we get calls for latches that won’t engage or handles that spin free. We replace with OEM CGI hardware whenever it’s available on current lines.

CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Hollywood sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every replacement window and door has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, full stop. But Hollywood’s building department adds a second layer: Broward County product approval. Installers who work down in Palm Beach County, where HVHZ rules don’t apply, get caught flat-footed when they try to pull a permit here and the product number doesn’t match. We check both approvals before we quote the job, because getting it wrong means a rejected permit and a stalled project. That’s not the kind of surprise anyone wants after they’ve already signed.

The salt air along A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway is the second factor. CGI frames installed in the 1970s on the Hollywood Beach side have degraded to the point where sill replacement and rough-opening repair are required before new impact units can be set. We see it every week. The east side of Hollywood is harder on aluminum than anywhere inland, and CGI owners there need a service company that understands corrosion patterns, not just how to swap a sash. The same holds true for our Cgi repair in Miami Gardens.

CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood

We service the CGI Sentinel Series impact windows, the CGI Estate Collection windows and doors, the CGI Targa Series windows, and the CGI 900 Series sliding glass doors. On current production lines, we use OEM CGI hardware and sealed glazing units to keep your warranty intact. On discontinued models, we match the original corrosion resistance with quality aftermarket rollers, balances, and weatherstripping. What we stock locally for Hollywood jobs: CGI-compatible rollers for sliding doors, latch hardware, weatherstripping, and sealed units in common sizes. Discontinued-pattern parts we order as needed. We only recommend full replacement when the frame is pitted through or the rough opening needs rebuilding to meet HVHZ wind-load requirements. Swapping good glass into a compromised frame is a waste of your money, and we won’t do it.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood

Does Hollywood require a Broward County product approval in addition to a Miami-Dade NOA for CGI windows? Yes. Hollywood enforces HVHZ rules under Broward County’s permitting system, so every replacement window or door needs both a current Miami-Dade NOA and a Broward County product approval before a permit is issued. We verify both before quoting, because a product that passes in one jurisdiction fails in the other. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll check your product numbers.

Are original 1960s-1970s jalousie windows in Hollywood CBS homes eligible for a simple insert replacement with CGI impact windows? In most cases, no. Jalousie windows in Hollywood concrete block homes almost always require a full-frame replacement, not an insert. The existing openings don’t match the frame depth or anchoring requirements for CGI impact units under HVHZ code. We’ll tell you straight after the site inspection what the opening needs.

Why do CGI frames along A1A and the Broadwalk corrode faster than identical units a few miles inland? Salt. The Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway put more airborne salt on the east side of Hollywood than anywhere further west. CGI aluminum frames hold up better than most, but ten years of wind-driven salt on the latch side of a double-hung will pit the finish. Inland units simply don’t face that exposure level. If you’re on the beach side, annual inspection of frame and hardware condition is worth the time.

Can our condo association in a Hollywood Beach building replace windows unit-by-unit, or must it be a whole-floor scope? It depends on the building’s engineering report and the association’s board. Many Hollywood Beach condo associations, particularly those going through the post-Surfside 40-year recertification process, require coordinated whole-floor or whole-building scopes. That affects scheduling, scaffolding, and permitting. We’ve handled both, and we’ll work with your board or management company on the scope they’ve approved.

Does a wind mitigation inspection in Hollywood require a specific matching between the installed CGI window and the NOA product approval number? Yes. The wind mitigation inspector will verify that the installed product matches the Miami-Dade NOA number on file and the Broward County product approval. If the product numbers don’t match, credits get denied. That’s another reason we verify both approvals before installation, not after. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your specific CGI units.
