AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows & doors service across Palm Beach Gardens, from PGA National to Alton. What sets our work apart here is simple: we know the HOA and wind-borne debris code pathway that out-of-area crews miss, and we handle the paperwork while sourcing OEM or equivalent parts without any brand-authorized markup. If you own a CGI product that’s binding, corroding, or leaking, call (561) 831-7863 for a plain-spoken diagnosis and a free estimate. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI products were never commodity windows. The Sentinel, Estate, and Targa lines are engineered for South Florida wind loads, and they reward a service crew that actually understands their hardware. We do. Our techs work on CGI frames weekly, and we stock the rollers, balances, keepers, and lift rails that keep these windows and doors moving the way they should. We do CGI sales & service as independent specialists, which means we’re not tied to a manufacturer’s service schedule or markup structure. We quote what we mean, show up when we say we will, and stand behind every seal.
Ed Winslow has been serving Palm Beach County for years, including work along the estate corridors of El Brillo Way where impact-rated performance and clean finishes aren’t optional, they’re expected. If we don’t think a repair is worth your money, we’ll tell you that too. My name’s on the truck. That’s reason enough to do it right.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach Gardens
CGI equipment fails in patterns. Here are the five we see most often in Palm Beach Gardens, and how local conditions push each one.
- Corrosion at frame weep holes and bottom rails. Salt-laden air from the Atlantic, sitting just 5 to 10 miles east, oxidizes aluminum faster than what contractors see inland. CGI Classic sliders in original 1980s builds are especially prone. We see track binding and drainage failure that starts as a cosmetic blister and ends as a stuck panel.
- Warped sashes on CGI Sentinel casements. Original operator hardware wears, the sash settles out of square, and the perimeter gaskets start admitting air and water. In Palm Beach Gardens this is a rain-intrusion issue every summer. We replace the hardware and adjust the sash rather than just lubing it and hoping.
- Failed glazing seals on early-2000s CGI Estate units. Condensation between panes signals a breached insulated glass unit. Homes that predate current low-E argon standards lose thermal performance and clarity. We order matching IGU replacements and re-glaze on site where possible.
- Roller and track wear on CGI Targa sliders. Sand from golf course landscapes, and PGA National has no shortage of it, works its way into lower tracks. Multi-panel Targa sliders bind, drag, or derail when the rollers flatten. We inspect the full track, replace rollers and keeper sets, and adjust panel alignment.
- Non-impact CGI Classic units still in original service. A surprising number of Palm Beach Gardens homes carry these from before code changed. They’re not compliant under current wind-borne debris requirements. We help homeowners plan the upgrade path honestly instead of patching a window that’s past its useful life.
CGI Service in Palm Beach Gardens: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what makes Palm Beach Gardens different from a city ten miles inland: this is a wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code. Replace one failed CGI window in PGA National, and you trigger a permit review that effectively mandates impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system. That’s not our rule; it’s Florida code, and it applies to even a single sash. The practical reality for CGI owners is that a “quick window swap” is actually Impact Windows in Palm Beach Gardens compliance project. PGA National’s architectural review board adds another layer. They require a formal product submittal, including Miami-Dade or FBC Notice of Acceptance documentation, frame color samples, and glass specifications, before a permit can be pulled. Out-of-area crews who skip that step hit a wall at the permit desk and lose the job. We file the submittal as part of our process, because in Palm Beach Gardens the paperwork is as important as the install. If you live in Mirasol or BallenIsles, expect the same: HOA architectural review governs frame color, glass tint, and profile style, and we’re used to working within those constraints.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We service the full local range without pretending every discontinued part is still on a shelf somewhere. The CGI Sentinel Series, impact casement and fixed windows, shows up in PGA National villas that were retrofitted after Andrew. The CGI Estate Collection, impact single-hung and picture windows, is common in Alton and Avenir homes built since the mid-2000s. The CGI Targa Series, impact sliding glass doors including the three-panel sliders popular in golf-course homes, sees the most track wear. The CGI Classic Series, non-impact aluminum single-hung units, still exists in original builds, and we’re honest about when those are better replaced than repaired. For parts, we use OEM CGI replacement items when available, including lift rails, balances, rollers, and keeper sets, to protect warranty status and fit. For discontinued hardware, we source equivalent aftermarket components and tell you plainly when a full sash or whole-window replacement is the smarter long-term spend.
CGI Service Pricing in Palm Beach Gardens
Service pricing depends on what’s actually failed. A basic roller and track tune-up on a Targa slider runs less than a full glazing replacement on an Estate picture window, which is less than a full-frame impact upgrade on a non-compliant Classic unit. In Palm Beach Gardens, the HOA submittal and permit process can add administrative time, though not cost to the parts themselves. Our free estimate for our Window Installation in Palm Beach Gardens gives you a written line-item breakdown: parts, labor, and the paperwork steps we’ll handle on your behalf. No vague allowances, no change orders after the fact. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll walk you through what your specific CGI unit needs before you spend a dollar.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
Each answer leads with the point. Read the first sentence and you’ll know where you stand.
Because Palm Beach Gardens sits inside the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region, and code treats a replacement as a trigger for current compliance. Even a single failed unit must meet impact-protection requirements, meaning impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system. Patching non-impact glass doesn’t pass permit. If you’re in PGA National or Mirasol, call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific opening requires.
It adds three to six weeks, and that’s true for every contractor. The board requires a formal product submittal with Miami-Dade or FBC Notice of Acceptance documentation, frame color samples, and glass specifications before a permit is pulled. We prepare that submittal as part of our scope. Crews that skip it get delayed at the permit desk. We don’t.
The original builds in Mirasol and BallenIsles, mostly from the 1980s and early 1990s, carried CGI Classic Series non-impact aluminum units. Many have since been upgraded to Sentinel or Estate impact lines. We service all of them, and we can identify what you have with a quick photo and a five-minute phone call.
It depends on where the corrosion sits and how deep it runs. Surface oxidation at weep holes can often be cleaned, sealed, and protected. But when the bottom rail or track has pitted through, like the CGI Classic three-panel slider we replaced in Mirasol where salt air had eaten the lower track, a full-frame swap is the only honest fix. We’ll show you the pitting before we recommend anything. Call (561) 831-7863 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Yes, when they’re available. OEM lift rails, balances, rollers, and keeper sets preserve warranty status and proper fit. For discontinued hardware or out-of-production models, we source equivalent aftermarket parts and tell you upfront what we’re using and why. We never pass off a substitute as a OEM part.
