CGI Windows & Doors in Tequesta, FL

CGI Windows & Doors in Tequesta, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors

We provide CGI sales & service throughout Tequesta, from single hung re-glazing to full Sentinel slider replacement. The one thing that separates our CGI work here from anywhere else is salt: Tequesta’s canal network pushes tidal air into frames and tracks harder than any inland community, and that changes which repairs hold and which ones don’t. If you have a CGI window or door that’s binding, fogging, or pitting, call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you straight what it needs.

Why Tequesta Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

Our crews have worked on CGI windows and doors in Tequesta long enough to recognize the failure patterns before they get expensive. Dale Kessler grew up off Northlake Boulevard, trained in building construction at Palm Beach State College, and spent his early years installing impact glazing along the Treasure Coast. That hands-on background means we don’t guess at a CGI frame’s condition; we read the extrusion pitting, the track wear, and the sill corrosion the way a mechanic reads an engine. We’re an independent service provider, not a CGI dealer, so the recommendation you get is based on what your house actually needs, not what moves warranty inventory. And when we quote, we quote both repair and replacement side by side on paper, so you can see the numbers before committing to anything.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Tequesta

Here’s what we see most often on Tequesta’s canal streets and 1960s-to-1980s CBS homes:

• Salt-air pitting on white or bronze aluminum frames. CGI’s aluminum extrusions are built for impact loads, but decades of tidal salt exposure on canal-front lots eats at the anodized or painted finish. The sill interlock on 200 Series horizontal rollers takes the worst of it, because water sits there after every storm and every high-humidity morning.
• Roller and track corrosion in Sentinel impact sliders. Salt spray wicks into the bottom track of a Sentinel slider over the years, pitting the stainless roller assemblies and eventually causing the panel to bind or derail. On Riverside Drive, our tech found a 1980s CGI Sentinel so badly corroded at the sill that the panel was frozen in place – the tidal salt had wicked into the CBS block below and debonded the frame.
• Fogging between panes in Estate Collection casements. Early Estate Collection casements on west-facing elevations take full afternoon sun, and that thermal cycling eventually breaks the insulated glass seal. Once the desiccant inside is saturated, the unit fogs. There’s no drying it out; the IGU gets replaced.
• Weep hole blockage and sill corrosion in 100 Series single hungs. On concrete-block homes, blocked weep holes trap water inside the sill track. The water sits, the aluminum corrodes from the inside, and the first sign is often interior water staining at the drywall below the window. By then the frame leg is usually compromised.
• Fused slider panels on canal-front lanais. This is the Tequesta signature failure. Decades of salt spray wicking into the sill track corrodes the aluminum so completely that the panel effectively welds itself to the track. Home inspectors flag it, insurers demand replacement before renewal, and patching is not an option.

CGI Service in Tequesta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s what you won’t read on a generic CGI page. Tequesta’s concentrated network of Loxahatchee River canals means salt-laden air wicks into 1970s-era CGI slider tracks at a much higher rate than even Jupiter’s inland streets. The tidal exchange at the river inlet pushes salt-saturated humidity directly into residential neighborhoods year-round. On the village’s canal-front lots, we routinely find CGI slider frames where the sill track has corroded through to the point that the panel is fused in place and the frame has debonded from the substrate. That’s not a repair problem; that’s a code-compliance problem. Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated or protected glazing for all replacement windows and doors in Tequesta’s wind-borne debris region, and there’s no grandfathering once a unit is pulled. So when a 45-year-old CGI slider on a canal street finally gives out, the replacement decision is already made for you: it has to be current impact-rated CGI, installed to meet the code that your insurer is checking against.

CGI Models & Products We Service in Tequesta

We service the CGI lines that are actually installed in Tequesta’s housing stock: the CGI 100 Series single hung, the 200 Series horizontal roller, the Estate Collection casement, and the Sentinel impact sliding glass door. For serviceable modules, we source OEM CGI replacement rollers, balances, and weatherstripping. When original hardware is obsolete, we use precision-matched quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed original fitment standards. Heavily corroded frames get a straight recommendation: Tequesta Window Installation with current CGI impact-rated units rather than patching a frame that’s already lost structural integrity. We keep common CGI weatherstripping profiles and roller assemblies stocked locally so most Tequesta calls are handled without waiting on a freight shipment.
