CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We service, repair, and replace CGI windows and doors across West Palm Beach, and the one thing that separates our CGI work here from any other market is the salt. The Intracoastal Waterway runs through this city like a spine, and the Atlantic sits a few miles east. That means every CGI aluminum frame, roller, and seal in West Palm Beach ages twice as fast as the same unit inland. Call (561) 831-7863 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and he’s been standing behind CGI work in Palm Beach County for over 15 years.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’re the CGI sales & service team that actually knows what a seized roller on an Estate Collection slider looks like after ten years of Intracoastal air. Our techs have rebuilt, maintained, and replaced CGI products on hundreds of local homes, from El Cid mansions to mid-century CBS houses in Northwood. Ed Winslow picked up his first caulk gun as a teenager helping his uncle weatherproof homes after summer storms in Miami. He trained in construction technology at Miami Dade College, then spent two decades on real job sites learning every angle of window and door installation the hard way. That background matters when you’re asking whether an older CGI frame still passes Florida Product Approval. We stock OEM CGI rollers, weatherstripping, and hardware for fast turnaround, and we quote what we mean. No change orders. No vague estimates. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Salt-air pitting and corrosion on aluminum frames and sills. We see this constantly along Flagler Drive and anywhere within a mile of the Intracoastal. Older Estate Collection units with worn factory clear-coat anodizing start pitting within a decade here. We strip, treat, and reseal where possible, and tell you straight when the frame is too far gone.
- Warped or sticking CGI Estate sliding door rollers. Constant humidity and thermal cycling in West Palm Beach cause rollers to wear unevenly. We’ve replaced hundreds of seized bottom rollers on Estate sliders, including two on a single Northwood Road CBS home where both doors had locked up completely from salt corrosion. When the door fights you, don’t force it. That’s how glass breaks.
- Failed IG (insulated glass) seals in casement and picture windows. Once the seal goes, you get interior fogging and lost low-E performance. In West Palm Beach, where air conditioning runs ten months a year, a failed seal means your electric bill climbs while your view gets hazy. We replace the IGU when the frame still carries a valid Florida Product Approval number.
- Compromised weatherstripping and jammed multipoint locks on French doors. Storm-driven rain and debris batter French doors on west-facing elevations in this city. Once water breaches the weatherstripping, the multipoint lock mechanism starts corroding from the inside. We rebuild them with OEM CGI components.
- Jalousie windows that no longer pass code. A huge share of 1950s-1970s West Palm Beach CBS homes still have original louvered-glass jalousie windows. They provide zero hurricane protection and no permitted job can leave them in place. This is one of the most common code-compliance replacement triggers we handle.
CGI Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
West Palm Beach is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone like neighboring Broward and Miami-Dade. But Palm Beach County still enforces Florida Building Code wind-load standards that require every permitted replacement window or door to carry an active Florida Product Approval number. This single mandate routinely invalidates older CGI Estate units when a homeowner only needs glass repair. You call us expecting a simple reglaze. We inspect the frame, find the approval number no longer active, and now you’re looking at full window replacement because the county building department won’t sign off on a patch job. That’s not bureaucracy for its own sake. It’s post-Andrew code doing what it should. It’s also why our crews inspect the frame, rating label, and approval number on every CGI unit before touching it, especially in mid-century CBS neighborhoods like Northwood and Pleasant City where jalousie windows are common and the transition to impact-rated CGI products is code-driven. Out-of-market contractors miss this layer entirely. We’ve been working inside it for over 15 years.
CGI Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We work across the CGI residential impact-rated lineup: Impact Windows - West Palm Beach, Estate Collection sliding glass doors, Estate Collection casement and awning windows, and Estate Collection French doors. Most of our West Palm Beach calls involve Estate sliders and casement windows on Intracoastal-adjacent homes. We use OEM CGI hardware, rollers, and weatherstripping whenever available to preserve the original impact-rating and fit. When OEM parts are discontinued or backordered, we’ll install certified aftermarket components only when they match the original structural and wind-load specs. For units with corroded frames, cracked glass, or persistent air and water intrusion, we recommend full frame replacement over repeated repairs. Especially when the original CGI product is older than 15 years and no longer meets current Florida Product Approval requirements for permitted work.
CGI Service Pricing in West Palm Beach
CGI service costs in West Palm Beach depend on what’s actually wrong. Roller and weatherstripping replacement on an Estate slider typically runs lower than a full IGU swap or multipoint lock rebuild. Frame corrosion repair lands in the middle. Full window or door replacement, especially when a code-driven upgrade from jalousies to impact-rated CGI single hungs is involved, sits at the higher end and varies by opening size and elevation. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed. You’ll see exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts. And we have standing offers that never expire: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge in our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (561) 831-7863 for an exact quote.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Palm Beach County requires every permitted replacement window to carry an active Florida Product Approval number, and if your older CGI Estate unit’s approval has lapsed, a simple glass swap won’t pass inspection. Before we replace any glass, we check the frame, rating label, and approval status. If the unit no longer qualifies, full frame replacement is the only permitted path. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll check your specific windows at no cost.
Yes. Salt-laden air along the Intracoastal corrodes bottom rollers and dries out track hardware faster than anywhere else in West Palm Beach. We pull the door panel, replace seized rollers with OEM CGI parts, clean the track, and rebuild the locking mechanism. If the door is beyond saving, we’ll tell you and quote a full replacement. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free estimate.
We can. West Palm Beach’s locally designated historic districts, El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Grandview Heights, require street-facing replacement windows to match original profiles and divided-light patterns. That means sourcing custom impact-rated CGI windows that satisfy both Florida Building Code wind requirements and Historic Preservation Board approval. We’ve done this work along the estate corridors of El Brillo Way where clean finishes aren’t optional. Call (561) 831-7863 to discuss your district’s specific requirements.
Most aren’t. Florida Product Approval numbers expire, clear-coat anodizing wears thin, and IG seals fail after decades of coastal humidity and salt exposure. A 1990s-era CGI window might still physically look intact, but if its approval number is no longer active, it fails any permitted inspection in West Palm Beach. We’ll evaluate your specific units and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense. Call (561) 831-7863.
Weatherstripping replacement alone typically doesn’t trigger a full inspection, since it’s a maintenance item and not a structural alteration. But if the inspector sees rotted frames, failed seals, or a lapsed Florida Product Approval label while on site, you could be looking at a code-compliance issue. We always flag these risks before starting any work. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free assessment.
