CGI Windows & Doors in Miramar, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent CGI service provider working across Miramar, and the short answer is this: we service, repair, and replace CGI impact windows and doors on homes throughout the city, from Silver Lakes to Sunset Lakes. The thing that makes our CGI work different here is that we know Miramar’s dual-permit reality better than any out-of-town outfit. Most of the CGI units we see are original builder-grade products from the 1990s and early 2000s, and they’re failing in predictable ways because of the salt-laden humidity that sits over this city 12 to 15 miles inland. Call (954) 280-4413 and a live person answers. We’ll get your CGI equipment looked at the right way.
Why Miramar Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Sailboat Bend in Fort Lauderdale, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows and cursing the humidity. That is more or less how he ended up in this trade, and it is also why we approach every CGI window and door in Miramar with a glazier’s eye instead of a sales script. We have been retrofitting Miramar’s wave of post-Andrew homes for over a decade, so when a homeowner in Monarch Lakes calls about a Targa Series slider that will not move, we already know what we are going to find before the truck gets there. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. That is not a slogan. It is what kept us in business through a boom-and-bust cycle that buried plenty of contractors who cut corners on 1990s CBS construction. Years of community service means we plan to still be in Miramar in thirty years, answering the phone when a weep hole corrodes.
We are independent. TruePane Windows & Doors is not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CGI, and we do not pretend otherwise. What that means for you is we recommend the repair or replacement that fits your house and your HOA, not the one that moves inventory. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Key Takeaways:
- CGI sales & service handled by techs who have worked these exact units across Miramar for years.
- Done Right Promise on every job, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave.
- Live person answers the phone 24/7. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper.
- a free written repair estimate, a maintenance check, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Miramar
These are the five failures we see most often on CGI equipment across Miramar, and each one ties directly to something about this city’s climate, housing stock, or building codes.
- Corroded aluminum frames and clogged weep holes. Salt-laden air from the Atlantic, even at 12 to 15 miles inland, pits and corrodes aluminum frames. The lower corners and weep holes go first. When those weep holes block up, water sits in the track and finds its way into the drywall. We saw this on a home in Sunset Lakes where the original 2001 Targa Series single-hungs had corroded badly enough to stain interior walls.
- Failing polyamide thermal breaks in 1990s builder-grade CGI units. Homes built during Miramar’s westward boom of the 1990s and 2000s got builder-grade CGI products. Twenty to thirty years later, the polyamide thermal breaks in the frame are breaking down. That shows up as interior condensation and water intrusion along the sill track, which homeowners often mistake for an HVAC problem.
- Seized sliding door rollers on original CGI sliders. Grit and salt combine to bind rollers on older CGI sliding doors. Left alone, the seized roller scores the track, and a simple roller replacement becomes a track teardown. If the door is original to a home in eastern Miramar, it may be built into a 1960s or 70s masonry wall, which complicates access.
- Cracked glass from storm-driven debris on non-impact CGI models. In western Miramar HOAs, we regularly see non-impact CGI windows that predate the current code. A storm or a stray golf ball from Monarch Lakes cracks the glass, and the homeowner wants glass-only replacement. The problem: current Florida Building Code HVHZ rules require impact-rated units on replacement work. We quote the compliant option and handle the HOA paperwork.
- HOA-driven finish mismatches. Miramar’s covenant-controlled subdivisions require architectural review board approval before any frame color or door style change. Homeowners who skip the ARC step get forced reversals. We shepherd both the Broward Building Department permit and the HOA ARC sign-off so the job does not stall at final inspection.
CGI Service in Miramar: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something that is true about Miramar and not true about most of South Florida. The city’s explosive westward growth in the 1990s and 2000s packed entire square miles with CBS homes in large planned communities like Silver Lakes, Monarch Lakes, and Sunset Lakes. All of that housing went up just after Hurricane Andrew forced Florida to rewrite its building codes, so the original windows were built to early post-Andrew standards, not today’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That means most of the original CGI windows in these neighborhoods are not impact-rated, and they are now 20 to 30 years old and failing in waves. Every replacement must meet current HVHZ impact standards under the Florida Building Code. If you own a 2001-era Targa Series in Monarch Lakes, you are looking at a full-frame impact replacement, not a glass swap, if you want to stay in code compliance. That is the reality of owning CGI windows in Miramar in 2026, and it is why we start every consultation by checking what is actually in the opening, not what the neighbor across the street has.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Miramar
We service the full CGI impact-rated lineup, including the Sentinel Series Impact Windows, Targa Series Impact Windows, Estate Collection Impact Windows, and the Classic Series Single-Hung Windows. Each line has its own frame profile, glazing options, and hardware configuration, and we stock OEM-compatible balances, rollers, and weather seals for the models most common in Miramar’s 1990s and 2000s subdivisions. That means faster turnaround on service calls for homeowners in Silver Lakes and Sunset Lakes who cannot wait six weeks for a part. For non-critical items like balance shoes and rollers where OEM lead times are excessive, we use quality aftermarket hardware. For anything that affects warranty integrity, we use OEM CGI parts and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
CGI Service Pricing in Miramar
Pricing for CGI service in Miramar depends on what we find, which is why we give written line-item quotes before any wrench turns. Here are the typical ranges:
- CGI hardware and roller replacement: $180-$340, depending on the door and whether the track needs dressing.

- Full-frame impact replacement (Sentinel, Targa, or Estate Series): $1,800-$4,200 per opening, including permit and HOA ARC submittal where required.
Every quote is itemized on paper. You see exactly what you are buying, side by side with comparable manufacturer lines if you want them. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and keep the $50-off-any-repair-over-$250 in mind if your CGI unit is giving you trouble.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Miramar
Yes, in most Miramar HOA-governed subdivisions you need both the Broward Building Department permit and a separate architectural review board approval before changing frame color or door style. Silver Lakes, Monarch Lakes, and Sunset Lakes all have ARC requirements, and skipping the ARC form means the city will not issue a final inspection. We handle both approvals as part of the job. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through the paperwork for your specific community.
A 2002 slider with seized rollers can often be repaired for $180-$340 if the track is still intact. But if the frame shows significant corrosion or the rollers have scored the track, a repair becomes a band-aid. For units older than 15 years with frame corrosion, we typically recommend a full-frame impact replacement over a repair, since sealing and fitment issues will keep coming back. We will tell you which camp your door falls into before we quote anything.
No. Many original CGI units installed in Miramar’s post-Andrew boom homes were built to the code standards of that era, which did not require impact ratings across the board. Those homes now fall under current HVHZ requirements, so if you need replacement glass or a new unit, code compliance generally requires an impact-rated product. We verify what is in the opening and quote accordingly.
Interior condensation on older CGI windows usually means the polyamide thermal break in the frame is failing. When that break degrades, warm humid air meets the cooler frame surface, and water forms on the interior glass edge or sill track. In Miramar’s humidity, it looks like a condensation problem but it is a frame problem. Most 1990s builder-grade CGI units with thermal break failure are candidates for full-frame replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will diagnose it on site.
Yes. HOA-required bronze finishes are common in Miramar’s planned communities, and we match them on new Sentinel, Targa, and Estate Series impact units. Our Sunset Lakes project mentioned above involved matching the original bronze finish exactly, and the HOA ARC approved it on the first submittal. We bring finish samples to your home and verify against the existing units before the order goes in. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate that includes finish matching.
