AfterCGI Windows & Doors in West Park, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
West Park Window Installation and door service means working on impact-rated units installed in 1950s to 1970s concrete block homes, where the original jalousie windows and aluminum single-hungs create a specific set of repair and replacement decisions. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, an independent CGI service provider, and the thing that separates our work here is knowing which Estate Series repairs will pass a West Park permit inspection and which ones will trigger a full-opening HVHZ upgrade. Call (954) 280-4413 when you need someone who has actually pulled those permits.
Why West Park Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most window companies in Broward County treat CGI as just another product line. We treat it as a craft, same as Dale Kessler did when he founded TruePane in 2008 after watching too many out-of-true installs void manufacturer warranties. Our techs walk West Park blocks every week, passing the same CBS ranches off Southwest 40th Avenue and the streets around McTyre Park that make up this city’s housing stock. We know which CGI Estate Series frames were installed in the 1990s boom, which ones are original aluminum from the 1960s, and what the difference means for your repair options.
We stock OEM-compatible rollers, latches, and weatherstripping for the Estate 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series lines, which means fewer return trips and faster completion for West Park homeowners. The crews are background-checked and uniformed. The estimate is written on paper before any work starts. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Park
We see the same five issues repeat across West Park’s older blocks. Here’s what they are and why they happen here specifically:
- Failed thermal seals on aging CGI insulated glass units. West Park’s humidity sits above 70 percent most months, and summer downpours drive moisture into even hairline seal breaches. Once the desiccant inside the IGU is saturated, you get fogging that cannot be wiped clean. That means new glass, not a repair.
- Corroded rollers and latches on CGI sliding doors. Salt-laden Atlantic air reaches this far inland, and over twenty or thirty years it pits the hardware. We routinely find seized rollers that make a 200-pound door feel like it’s welded into the track. Pitted latches are a safety issue, not just an annoyance.
- Frame warping on original CGI installations in CBS walls. Concrete lintels and settling slabs put slow, constant pressure on the aluminum extrusion. After thirty-plus years, that pressure can pull a frame out of square. You’ll notice the sash binds at the top corner in August when the frame expands in the heat.
- Clogged weep systems on jalousie-era CGI replacement units. The dense tropical landscaping around West Park homes drops fine muck and leaf debris that works its way into the weep holes. Water pools inside the track, the frame oxidizes, and eventually you’re looking at a full replacement instead of a simple cleaning.
- Permit-triggered upgrades on non-conforming openings. This one is specific to West Park and any homeowner here should understand it before touching a jalousie window. We’ll cover it in detail below.
CGI Service in West Park: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact that shapes more CGI work in West Park than anything else: West Park is one of only a handful of cities in Broward County where swapping out original jalousie windows triggers a permit-level HVHZ compliance review that often forces a whole-opening upgrade to Miami-Dade NOA-rated CGI units, even if the homeowner only asked for a simple glass swap. The county treats a jalousie opening as a non-repairable, non-conforming penetration, and bringing it to current impact code means the entire opening gets reworked: new buck, new anchor system, new impact-rated unit with a verified NOA number. This is not a cosmetic decision. It’s a code requirement that catches homeowners by surprise every month.
We saw it on a 1960s CBS ranch off Southwest 40th Avenue near McTyre Park. The homeowners called us wanting broken louver glass replaced. The windows had been painted shut for years. We showed them the permit history and the county’s rule that jalousie-to-impact is treated as a new-opening install. Then we scheduled a full-frame CGI Estate 2000 Series retrofit, pulled the Miami-Dade NOA number for every unit, and verified it with the city plan reviewer before the first stucco cut. That’s the kind of sequencing that keeps a West Park permit from stalling.
This is why we’re careful to say we’re an independent CGI service provider. We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and being independent means we can tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when a replacement is the only path that passes inspection. Our CGI sales & service expertise comes from working on these exact frames in these exact houses, not from a factory training binder.
CGI Models & Products We Service in West Park
We service the CGI Estate line families most common across South Broward: the Estate 2000 Series, Estate 3000 Series, Estate 4000 Series, and the Estate Series Classic. For any structural, impact-rated, or warranty-sensitive repair, we specify OEM CGI extrusions and hardware. Third-party rollers and latches often change the operating geometry of Estate Series frames just enough to cause binding or early wear, and on an impact-rated unit that’s a risk we won’t take. For retired or out-of-production CGI models, we locate quality aftermarket parts that match the original profile and we’ll tell you straight what the remaining lifespan looks like versus a full replacement.
What we keep on hand for West Park calls are the wear items: rollers, latch assemblies, weatherstripping, and weep caps for the most common Estate Series configurations. That means most service visits finish in one trip.
CGI Service Pricing in West Park
CGI service pricing in West Park typically runs $145 to $185 for a basic service call, $180 to $340 for common repairs like roller or latch replacement on an Estate Series slider, and $340 to $600 for a single unit replacement including labor. Full-frame CGI Estate 2000 Series retrofits, the kind that satisfy West Park’s jalousie-to-HVHZ permit trigger, start around $1,750 per opening and move upward with size, finish, and frame condition.
What drives the cost is whether we’re repairing hardware, replacing glass, or rebuilding the opening. A seized roller is an hour’s work. Fogged glass on a 60-inch Estate unit means new IGU and a re-glaze, which is most of a morning. The jalousie-to-impact conversions take a full day or more because we’re pulling the old frame, setting a new buck, mounting the new unit, and flashing it to current code. Every estimate includes a written line-item breakdown, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (954) 280-4413 for your free estimate. It’s a square deal on paper before you commit to anything.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Park
No. West Park’s HVHZ review treats a jalousie opening as non-conforming, so a glass-only swap will fail. The opening itself must be brought to current impact code, which means a full-frame replacement with a Miami-Dade NOA-rated unit, typically a CGI Estate Series. We’ll handle the permit sequencing for you. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk the property and lay out what the inspector will be looking for.
Some finishes, yes. CGI’s bronze and white finishes are usually matchable on the Estate 2000 and 3000 Series. Custom or discontinued finishes are harder because the anodizing process changed over the years. We’ll bring finish swatches to your West Park home and tell you honestly whether a match is possible or whether a slight variance is the realistic outcome.
Because West Park Door Installation is in the HVHZ, where wind design pressures and impact-debris requirements exceed the rest of Florida. A door that’s been compromised by corrosion, frame warping, or seal failure may not meet the original NOA rating anymore. In a market outside the HVHZ, a panel replacement might pass. Here, the inspector wants the entire opening to demonstrate compliance, which often means full-frame replacement with a currently listed CGI unit.
West Park sits fully within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a Florida Product Approval alone is not sufficient. The unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an equivalent HVHZ-approved Florida Product Approval. We verify the NOA number on every CGI unit before installation and provide it to the plan reviewer as part of the permit package.
Noticeably faster. The combination of Atlantic salt air, intense UV, and humidity-driven moisture cycles accelerates oxidation on aluminum frames. A bronze anodized CGI frame that might hold its finish for 25 years in Orlando can show pitting and chalkiness in 15 to 18 years here. Regular cleaning of the tracks and weep holes, plus an annual hardware check, extends the life of the finish and the frame. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a maintenance check and we’ll catch the oxidation before it becomes structural.
