CGI Impact Windows in Wellington: What to Know First
CGI impact windows in Wellington typically cost $1,100 to $2,800 per opening installed, depending on the series, size, and whether you’re replacing a failed unit or doing a full retrofit. TruePane Windows & Doors services CGI products as an independent CGI service provider, and most single-unit repairs or replacements are completed in one visit. We’re not the cheapest bid in Wellington, and we won’t pretend to be. What you get is a straight number, both warranty layers registered in writing, and work that holds up the way it should. If you own a CGI window that’s fogged, sticking, or not latching clean, call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing. This page is written for Wellington homeowners who already have CGI products and want them fixed right, not sold again.
Key Takeaways
- CGI impact windows are common in Wellington, especially in newer builds and hurricane-hardened remodels in Olympia, Versailles, and Paddock Park.

- Most CGI repairs in Wellington are fogged insulated glass units, worn roller assemblies, or failing weatherstripping, not full frame replacements.
- Expect $1,100 to $2,800 per opening for most CGI replacements in this market. Free estimates, no surprise line items.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid impact window. We’ve installed and serviced enough of them in Wellington to know where they wear and what causes the common failures. Here’s what we see most often, and what we do about it.
- Fogged glass on CGI Estate Collection units. The Estate Collection units we see in Wellington’s older sections, particularly homes built in the early 2000s, develop seal failures at the insulated glass unit. The Florida humidity and constant sun exposure break down the desiccant in the spacer bar. Once moisture gets inside the IGU, the glass clouds permanently. The fix is a new IGU, not a whole window. We measure the sash, order the correct thickness, and set it so the impact rating stays intact.
- Roller failures on CGI sliding impact doors. CGI sliders, particularly the heavier multi-point locking models, eat roller assemblies over time. Wellington’s sandy soil works its way into the bottom track, and the rollers grind down. Homeowners notice the door gets stiff, then starts dragging. We replace the rollers with matched hardware, clean the track, and adjust the height so the door seats square in the frame.
- Weatherstripping compression on CGI casement and picture windows. After ten or fifteen years of Florida sun, the weatherstripping on CGI casements compresses and loses its rebound. The window still closes, but air moves around the sash. That’s how you get higher electric bills and a faint whistle during summer storms. We strip the old material, clean the kerf, and set new compression seals rated for impact window tolerances.
- Lock and latch misalignment on CGI fixed and awning units. Impact windows carry more frame mass than standard windows, and over time the sash can settle. Locks that used to throw easily now bind, or the keeper plate sits an eighth-inch out of alignment. We adjust the hardware, and when the frame has moved beyond adjustment, we shim the sash correctly. A window that doesn’t latch is a window that won’t perform in a storm.
- Frame oxidation and paint failure on CGI aluminum lines. Older CGI aluminum frames in Wellington, especially those facing west toward the Everglades, pick up oxidation along the bottom rail. It starts as small blisters in the finish and spreads. We assess whether it’s cosmetic or structural, clean and recoat where possible, and tell you plainly when a frame replacement is the honest call. We don’t paint over rot and call it done.
Our CGI Impact Windows Process
Here’s how a CGI job goes when you call TruePane Windows & Doors. No surprises, no second appointment left hanging.
- 1
Call and diagnosis. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask what you’re seeing, what series of CGI window you have, and how long the problem’s been going on. Most calls take ten minutes.
- 2
On-site measurement. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes out, measures every opening twice, and checks the frame, the sash, and the hardware. We don’t quote a repair we haven’t looked at.
- 3
Parts decision, on paper. We show you the OEM versus quality aftermarket options side by side, with prices. When a CGI part is still under warranty, we handle the claim paperwork. When it’s not, we recommend what we’d put in our own mothers’ homes.
- 4
The repair or replacement. We set the glass, hang the sash, adjust the hardware, and seal against the Florida weather. Most CGI repairs are done in a single visit.
- 5
Testing. We cycle the window, check the seals, verify the latching, and confirm the operation is smooth. If it’s not right, we don’t leave.
- 6
Paperwork and guarantee. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and the Done Right Promise applies to every job we do. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What CGI Impact Windows Costs in Wellington
Here’s what we see in this market. A single CGI insulated glass unit replacement in Wellington, parts and labor, runs $450 to $900 depending on size and glass type. Replacing a full CGI casement or single-hung window runs $1,100 to $1,800 per opening. A large CGI sliding glass door replacement runs $2,400 to $2,800. What moves the price: frame condition, access (second-story work costs more), custom sizing, and whether you need laminated glass matched to the existing unit. Big-box and franchise shops will quote lower sometimes. We don’t chase those bids. Our quotes are fixed, on paper, before work starts. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. We’ll tell you what the job costs and what it takes.
Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Dale Kessler grew up in Paddock Park, where half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades. That’s the reason this company exists. We’ve been serving local communities since 2008 through that craft tradition, and we act like a company that plans to be in Wellington in thirty years. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They register both warranty layers in writing before leaving. And when a CGI repair isn’t the honest path, we’ll tell you that too, and quote you a PGT, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems line side by side so you can see the difference on paper. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall. The Keystone Standard backs every job we do, with the Done Right Promise on top.
FAQs
CGI warranties depend on the product line, the original purchase date, and whether you’re the original owner. Most CGI impact windows carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, with shorter coverage on glass breakage and finishes. We handle warranty diagnostics and can help you file the claim. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll look up your specific unit.
We use both, and we show you the difference on paper before we start. When an OEM part matters for fit, finish, or impact integrity, we recommend OEM. When a quality aftermarket part does the same job at a better price, we tell you that too. The decision is yours, in writing, with pricing.
In most cases, you replace the insulated glass unit, not the whole window. The frame and sash stay in place; we order the correct IGU, set it, and reseal. It’s a one-visit job on most CGI models. The glass gets its impact rating from the lamination, so we match it exactly to the original spec. Call (561) 349-4826 for an exact quote.
Most CGI repairs and single-unit replacements are completed in one visit, and we schedule based on part availability and your availability. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so you’ll get a straight answer on timing when you call, not a callback promise. We’ll be there when we say.
Yes. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights later. If it’s covered, it’s covered. If it’s not, you’ll know before you spend a dollar.
