CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Wellington: What to Know First
We repair and replace CGI sliding glass and patio doors throughout Wellington, and most jobs are done in a single visit. A typical CGI roller replacement runs $145-$260, a full door reconditioning with new rollers, track, and weatherstripping lands between $380-$650, and a complete replacement door installed starts around $3,200 depending on size and series. This page is written for homeowners who have a CGI door that’s dragging, binding, whistling, or letting water in after a summer storm. If you’d rather get a specific number for your door, call (561) 349-4826 and one of our techs will talk you through what we’re likely to find before we ever schedule the visit.
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-affiliated installer. That means we work for you, not for a warranty department.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a strong impact-rated door, but sliding doors take abuse in Florida that stationary windows never see. After years of track grit, humidity, and daily cycling, certain problems show up repeatably across Wellington’s CGI installations. Here’s what we see most often, and what we actually do about it.
- Roller failures on CGI Estate Collection sliders. The Estate Series doors are heavy, and when the original nylon rollers wear flat, the door drops and scrapes the track. The fix is replacing the carriage with a sealed bearing roller, either CGI’s OEM part or a quality stainless aftermarket unit that holds up better in Wellington’s humidity. We don’t just pop in a new roller; we set the height so the door doesn’t drag again in two months.
- Track damage on CGI Sentry Series patio doors. The Sentry Series has a raised track profile that collects sand and shell grit from driveways and pool decks. Once grit embeds in the aluminum, it chews up the roller wheels and slows the door down. We clean, and when the track is grooved, we can often machine or resurface it. If it’s too far gone, the honest fix is a new track section, not another set of rollers that will fail the same way.
- Weep hole blockages and sill leaks. CGI doors drain through weep holes at the base of the frame. In Wellington, those holes clog with pollen, gecko droppings, and landscape mulch, and once water can’t drain out, it goes under the sill and into the floor. We clear the weeps, flush the sill cavity, and re-slope as needed. It’s the kind of thing that takes an hour and saves a floor.
- Handle and latch misalignment on CGI Estate and Sentry Series. The multi-point lock bars on CGI doors are precisely inset, but over time the door settles or the slab shifts a fraction, and the latch misses the strike. It’s not a broken handle; it’s a door out of plane. We re-align the panel and adjust the strike points so the handle turns with two fingers instead of a fight.
- Fogged glass on aging CGI units. Once the seal on an insulated unit fails, no amount of cleaning fixes it. We measure the opening, and when it’s a standard CGI production size, we can often have a replacement IGU fabricated to spec rather than replacing the whole door. That’s usually a third of the price of a new panel, and the glass carries a proper warranty.
Our CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
When you call us about a CGI door, here’s how the job goes from the first conversation to cleanup.
- 1
We talk first. You describe what the door is doing, and one of our techs asks enough questions that we usually know the likely cause before we arrive. That keeps the first trip productive.
- 2
On-site measurement and diagnostic. Our tech measures the door twice, checks the rollers, track, seals, and lock alignment, and tests how the panel sits in the frame. We don’t guess.
- 3
Parts decision on paper. We show you the difference between OEM CGI parts and a quality aftermarket option, with the cost and the trade-off stated plainly. You decide.
- 4
The repair. We do the work on the spot in nearly all cases. Most CGI slider repairs are a half-day or less.
- 5
We test it hard. The door gets cycled, the lock thrown, the track checked for clean movement, water drainage confirmed.
- 6
Done Right Before we leave. You walk the door with us, and we register manufacturer warranty coverage in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If anything’s not right in 90 days, we come back and make it right.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We carry the work far beyond a parts swap. Every CGI door we touch is backed by the Done Right Promise, and both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated before the truck leaves. No paperwork fights.
Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they have decades of experience with impact-rated products. When a homeowner has a mix of brands across the house, such as PGT on one side and CGI on the other, or CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems elsewhere, we handle all of it in one call. That matters in Wellington, where we’ve been serving local homes since 2008 and plan to be here another thirty. A live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree.
FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, we use either OEM or warranty-safe aftermarket parts that do not compromise the manufacturer’s coverage, and we document everything in writing. If your door is still under warranty, we’ll tell you what’s covered before we start. Call (561) 349-4826 and we can walk through your specific unit.
Most CGI roller, track, and lock repairs are completed in a single morning visit. We keep common CGI parts stocked in our Wellington-local service trucks. For IGU glass replacement, it’s usually 7-10 days to fabricate the unit. We’ll give you a straight answer on timing before we schedule.
If the frame is square, the glass is clear, and the panel is sound, repair is almost always the right call and far cheaper. When the frame is pitted or the door is 15+ years old and the thermal performance is failing, replacement starts making sense. We’ll show you both numbers side by side, not push you to the more expensive option.
CGI doors are built for impact zones and typically last 15-25 years in Wellington’s heat and salt air, but rollers and weatherstripping are wear items that need attention every 7-10 years. Regular track cleaning and weep hole maintenance extends the door’s life significantly.
If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall. That’s the rule Dale Kessler keeps on the shop whiteboard, and it applies to every CGI door job we take on. If you’re in Wellington and your CGI slider is dragging, whistling, or leaking, call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. We’ll be there when we say.
