AfterCGI Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington: What to Know First
CGI impact windows and doors in Wellington can be repaired, replaced, or serviced by our team at TruePane Windows & Doors, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We quote the work upfront in writing, and the price we give you is the price you pay. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory affiliate, which means we answer to you rather than to a manufacturer’s script.
This page is written for Wellington homeowners who already own CGI products, or who are considering them and want to know what their long-term performance actually looks like in our climate. If you’ve got a CGI window that’s binding, a sliding door that’s dragging, or a seal that’s starting to fog, call (561) 349-4826. A live person answers, and we’ll tell you straight what we think it needs.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid impact-rated product line, but every manufacturer has weak points that show up over time, especially in Wellington’s heat, humidity, and storm cycles. Here’s what we see most often:
- Roller wear on CGI Estate and Targa series sliding doors. The original rollers on these doors are sealed units, and when they flatten or seize, the door starts dragging and jumping on the track. Homeowners often assume the track is bent, but nine times out of ten it’s the rollers. We replace them with a quality aftermarket set that carries its own warranty, and the door glides like it did the day it was set.
- Weatherstripping compression on CGI casement and single-hung windows. After seven or eight Florida summers, the wool pile and vinyl seals on the sash compress and lose their rebound. The window still closes, but air and water start moving through the gaps. We re-seal with OEM-spec material, not generic weatherstrip, so the fit is correct for the extrusion profile.
- Fogging between panes on older CGI Solar Zone insulated units. In Wellington, the daily temperature swing puts real stress on the dual-seal assembly. When the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and the view whites out. We replace the insulated glass unit, and because we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.
- Hardware loosening on CGI Estate French doors. The multi-point lock rods on Estate doors can drift out of alignment over time, especially on the east-facing elevations that bake in the afternoon sun. The door still locks, but the rods don’t seat fully, and the door rattles in the wind. We re-time the rods and re-align the strikes, and the door sets tight again.
- Structural settling around CGI picture windows with transom assemblies. Wellington homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s have settled in patterns we know well. When the rough opening shifts slightly, the picture window unit takes the stress and starts leaking at the bottom corner. We re-flash, re-bed, and re-anchor the unit to code, then pull the permits and pass the inspection.
Our CGI Impact Windows & Doors Process
Here’s how a CGI job runs from first call to final walkthrough:
- 1
You call. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask what the product is doing, when it started, and what you’ve tried. We schedule a visit that works for you.
- 2
We measure and diagnose. A background-checked, uniformed tech measures every opening twice and writes down exactly what’s failing. If it’s a repair, we tell you whether OEM parts or quality aftermarket parts are the better call, and why, in plain English.
- 3
You get a written quote. Side by side on paper, with the manufacturer line named and the dollar figure locked. No surprise line items later.
- 4
We do the work. Most CGI repairs are completed the same visit. For full replacements, we schedule the day, show up when we say, and protect your floors and furniture while we work.
- 5
We test the unit. Every replacement gets cycled, seated, and sealed to manufacturer spec. We check the weep system, the interstitial seal, and the hardware engagement before we call it done.
- 6
You get the Keystone Standard. Both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, plus our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing.
What CGI Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Wellington
Pricing depends on what you’re working with and what you need done. Here are the ranges we quote most often in Wellington:
- Single CGI insulated glass unit replacement: $350-$750 depending on size and Low-E coating
- Sliding door roller and track service: $180-$420 per door
- Weatherstripping and re-seal on a standard CGI window: $90-$260 per opening

- CGI Estate French door replacement: $3,800-$7,500 per door system installed
What moves the number: the CGI series you have, the size of the opening, whether the frame is salvageable, and whether we’re pulling permits and passing inspections (we do, and we handle both). Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. We’ll walk the job with you and give you a number you can plan around.
Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been serving Wellington and Palm Beach County since 2008 through a heritage of craft and community commitment, and our company was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who grew up in Paddock Park and decided a long time ago that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. That’s why we put both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and why we back every job with our Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our techs know CGI products because we’ve been inside hundreds of them across Wellington’s neighborhoods, from Flying Cow Road to Olympia. We also work on Andersen, Pella, and PGT, so if you’re weighing CGI against another line, we can put both quotes on paper for you and explain the real-world differences. We answer the phone with a person, not a menu. We show up when we say. We stand behind the work.
FAQs
Yes, as an independent CGI service provider, we perform repairs and replacements in a way that keeps your manufacturer warranty intact. We know which parts are OEM-specified and which aftermarket components carry their own warranty and won’t conflict with CGI’s coverage. We document everything in writing so there’s no question later. Call (561) 349-4826 if you’d like us to review your warranty before scheduling.
Most common CGI parts are available to us within 3-5 business days, and we stock the fast-moving items like rollers, balances, and weatherstripping on the truck. If you’ve got a window that won’t stay open or a door dragging on the track, we can usually resolve the repair the same day we look at it. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll tell you realistically what the timeline is for your specific product.
It depends on the age of the unit, the condition of the frame, and whether the glass package is still performing. If the frame is square and the glass is clear, repairs are usually the smarter money. If you’re seeing seal failure, frame rot, or structural leaks, replacement often costs less than repeated repairs. We’ll show you both options on paper and let you decide. Estimates are free at (561) 349-4826.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless we discover something that requires a written change order first, and we only do that with your signature. We don’t run crews that leave half a job and come back with a bigger invoice. Call (561) 349-4826 for a fixed written quote.
Yes. Wellington requires permits for replacement windows and exterior doors, and we pull them, schedule the inspections, and pass them before we call the job finished. We’ve been doing it long enough that the village inspectors know our work. If you’re planning a replacement, call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through the whole process.
