AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CGI service across Palm Beach Gardens, from rebuilds of 15-year-old Estate double-hungs near the Intracoastal to Sentinel slider adjustments inside PGA National. We also offer Jupiter CGI service for homeowners just north of the county line. The one thing that makes our CGI work different here is our familiarity with the local approval sequence: most Palm Beach Gardens gated communities require HOA architectural review committee sign-off before the city will even accept a permit application. If you’re pricing a CGI repair or replacement, call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate that includes the spec sheets local committees demand.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve rebuilt CGI windows and doors across every major golf community in Palm Beach Gardens, from PGA National to Frenchman’s Creek, so we know which CGI product lines hold up to salt air and which ones fail when HOA-driven timelines rush a retrofit. Our coverage extends to CGI repair in West Palm Beach for properties east of the Gardens city limits. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after nearly two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor, and the standard he set has not changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our techs arrive uniformed and background-checked, measure every opening twice, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. For Palm Beach Gardens homeowners, we also handle the paperwork side that stalls most CGI projects here: the finish swatches, NOA documentation, and manufacturer spec sheets your architectural review committee will ask for.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach Gardens
- Powder coat blistering and frame pitting along the bottom rail of CGI Estate double-hungs. On homes facing the Intracoastal breeze in Palm Beach Gardens, the salt-laden air works into the anodized finish within 8 to 12 years. We see the bottom rail go first, where standing moisture sits after every afternoon storm. If the pitting hasn’t gone through the extrusion, we can restore with a matching finish. If it has, full-frame replacement is the straight answer, not paint.
- IGU seal failure on 15-20 year-old CGI Classic fixed windows in CBS homes. Palm Beach Gardens’ year-round humidity accelerates seal degradation faster than the dry-air climates most window warranties assume. The telltale sign is fogging between the panes that won’t wipe off from either side. These units can usually be replaced with a sealed-unit retrofit that preserves the original frame profile and the NOA numbers your insurance carrier has on file.
- Lock rail misalignment on CGI Sentinel sliding glass doors in PGA National homes with foundation settling. The sandy soils under many golf-community homes shift slightly over decades, and the door begins to bind against the header. That binding wears the rollers unevenly and eventually strips the lock rail. It’s repairable in most cases with roller replacement and rail realignment, but only if the frame itself hasn’t twisted.
- Weep hole occlusion from wind-driven sand and salt crystallization on coastal-facing installations. Palm Beach Gardens sits near enough to the ocean that coastal wind carries fine particulates into the sill tracks. Over time, the weep holes clog with a concrete-like salt-and-sand crust, and water that should drain out instead backs up over the sill. Cleaning out the weeps and restoring the drainage path is a service call we handle regularly, often before the homeowner even sees water on the interior.
- Roller failures and lock replacement on heavy CGI impact sliders. Impact-rated glass panels weigh significantly more than standard insulated glass, and the rollers take the abuse. When a 200-pound panel starts dragging across the track in a Palm Beach Gardens home, the cause is usually flat-spotted rollers from years of operation with dry bearings. We stock genuine CGI replacement rollers for the common Sentinel and Targa profiles, so the repair doesn’t wait on a backorder.
CGI Service in Palm Beach Gardens: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Palm Beach Gardens is the only city in Palm Beach County where most gated communities make an HOA architectural review committee pre-approval a mandatory precondition to even pulling a city building permit for window or door replacement. That’s a specific fact, and it changes how every CGI job here gets sequenced. A straight replacement that would take two weeks in unincorporated county takes four to six weeks inside PGA National or Mirasol, because the committee needs manufacturer spec sheets, finish swatches, and written approval before the city will touch the permit. We learned this the hard way over years of service calls, and now our quotes include the CGI spec sheets and finish swatches those committees demand up front. Contractors new to the market routinely get stop-work orders in PGA National because they pulled the city permit first. We don’t make that mistake.
Last month our crew replaced three original aluminum fixed windows in a 1980s CBS ranch on Brackenwood Road in PGA National with CGI Estate impact units. The old frames had corroded at the weep holes so badly that the sills were swelling inside the drywall, and the HOA required a color-match to the community’s approved bronze finish before we could even schedule the permit. We pulled the original units, sealed the new flanges against the block with marine-grade sealant, and installed stainless steel anchors that the wind mitigation inspector signed off on for the Citizens discount.
There’s a second force shaping the Palm Beach Gardens CGI market, and it shows up in almost every phone call: insurance. Two hurricanes, Frances and Jeanne, both tracked directly over the Gardens in 2004, and the premium spikes they caused created an insurance-motivated upgrade cycle that’s still running. Homeowners replacing CGI windows in Palm Beach Gardens are often doing it specifically to qualify for Citizens Insurance or hold onto wind mitigation premium credits, which means the paperwork trail matters as much as the install. Our CGI sales & service work always includes the documentation your insurer will ask for after the fact.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
Our Palm Beach Gardens techs service every major CGI product line currently in the field: the Estate Collection, Classic Collection, Sentinel Series, and Targa Series. That includes replacement of genuine CGI glass packs, sash locks, and rollers whenever an HOA or insurance wind mitigation certificate requires matching NOA numbers. For out-of-production CGI lines, we source sealed-unit retrofits that preserve the original frame profile, which keeps your insurance documentation intact. When a frame extrusion is pitted through the anodized layer, we recommend full-frame replacement rather than painting over active corrosion, and we’ll show you the corrosion before quoting the job.
We stock the common wear parts locally, which keeps Palm Beach Gardens turnaround times shorter than shipping from the manufacturer: rollers for Sentinel and Targa sliders, lock sets for Estate and Classic profiles, and standard-size sealed units for fixed-window replacement. If you’re inside a golf community with a committee deadline, that local stock matters.
CGI Service Pricing in Palm Beach Gardens
CGI service pricing in Palm Beach Gardens depends on what failed and whether the unit is still under manufacturer coverage. A roller replacement on a single slider panel typically runs $150 to $350 including parts and labor. A sealed-unit replacement in a Classic fixed window generally falls between $400 and $900 depending on size and glass spec. Frame rebuilds on Estate double-hungs with bottom-rail corrosion run higher, and full-frame replacements are quoted site-by-site because the Palm Beach Gardens HOA finish requirements vary from one community to the next. If you need CGI repair in North Palm Beach, the same HOA-driven quoting applies. Every free estimate includes a written line-item breakdown, and the price on paper is the price on the bill. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and bring any HOA finish requirements you already have in hand.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes, in most gated communities in Palm Beach Gardens, including PGA National, Mirasol, BallenIsles, and Frenchman’s Creek, the HOA architectural review committee must approve your CGI replacement in writing before the city will accept a building permit application, and that’s true even when the openings aren’t changing. The committee is reviewing the finish, the product spec, and the visual consistency with the community standard, not the structural work. We provide the CGI spec sheets and finish swatches those committees expect up front. If you’re unsure whether your community requires this, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll help you find out before you lose three weeks on a paperwork surprise.
For most 1990s CBS homes in Palm Beach Gardens, the CGI Sentinel Series is the practical fit for a retrofit that preserves the interior trim and keeps the wind mitigation credits on the table. The Sentinel line offers an impact-rated package that installs into the existing opening without cutting back interior drywall or trim in the majority of block-construction homes we service. The Classic Collection is the budget-conscious alternative when the HOA finish requirements allow it, while the Estate Collection suits higher-end remodels where the homeowner wants the full thermal break and the best salt-air performance. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll price the CGI lines side by side on paper so you can compare what each one actually costs installed in your home.
Yes. Early-2000s CGI sliders in Palm Beach Gardens, especially Sentinel units in PGA National homes, are well past the service life of their original rollers by now, and the glass is rarely the problem. The sticking, the air leak, and the grinding feel usually trace back to flat-spotted rollers and a lock rail that’s drifted out of alignment. We replace the rollers with genuine CGI parts, realign the rail, and adjust the panel so it seats square against the weatherstripping. If the frame is twisted from foundation settling, we’ll tell you, and we’ll show you before recommending a replacement. A quick call to (954) 280-4413 gets you a service window and a straight answer.
The install itself does not automatically trigger the discount. In Palm Beach Gardens, a CGI impact window replacement qualifies for wind mitigation credits only after a separate wind mitigation inspection documents the product approvals and installation details in the format your insurer recognizes. The same applies to Homes with original CGI units that predate current documentation standards. We make sure the NOA numbers, the product approvals, and the installation photos match what that inspector will look for, which prevents the classic failure mode where a good install gets rejected because the paperwork doesn’t line up. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what your insurer needs before we touch the first window.
Because PGA National’s architectural standards are designed to keep a uniform appearance across the community, and the finish color on your windows is part of that visual standard. The county permit cares about structural integrity, wind load, and code compliance; your HOA cares about whether the bronze finish on your new CGI Estate units matches the bronze finish three doors down. The approval is mandatory before the city will accept the permit in most of the gated communities in Palm Beach Gardens, so the finish swatch isn’t optional paperwork, it’s the first gate in the process. Our quotes include the CGI finish swatches and spec sheets your committee expects, because we’ve done this in PGA National enough times to know exactly what the committee will ask for. For a complete walkthrough of your community’s sequence, call (954) 280-4413.
