CGI Window Installation in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
CGI window installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $85 to $165 per window for standard replacement work, and most single-unit jobs are finished in one visit. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a CGI dealer, which means we work on your windows without pushing you toward a full-house replacement you may not need. If you own CGI casements, awnings, fixed units, or sliders and something isn’t right, call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you over the phone what we think is going on before we ever schedule a truck. This page is for homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and the surrounding communities who already have CGI windows or doors and want straight answers about installation and repair.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a heavy, well-engineered impact window. But after enough Palm Beach Gardens summers, even good windows develop habits. Here’s what we see most often on CGI units in this area:
- Estate Collection casements that bind at the hinge side. CGI’s Estate line uses a stainless steel hinge system that holds up well to salt air, but the weight of the sash is real. When a casement gets hard to crank or sags a few degrees, the cause is usually a worn hinge arm or a frame that has settled out of square. We reset the sash, replace the hinge kit when needed, and re-shim the frame so the crank turns the way it did when the window was new.
- Sentinel sliding windows that scrape or jump the track. In Palm Beach Gardens, fine shell-rock dust works its way into slider tracks faster than most people expect. The Sentinel series track is sturdy, but once grit builds up and the rollers wear flat spots, the sash starts to drag. We pull the panel, clean the track properly, replace the roller assembly, and set the panel height so it glides instead of grinding.
- Targa by CGI fixed windows with failing glazing tape. Fixed and picture units don’t open, so homeowners don’t notice them until the glass moves or water shows up at the sill. On Targa by CGI units, we’ve found that the interior glazing tape can dry out and lose its grip over time. The fix is removing the glass, cleaning the frame pocket, and re-bedding the unit with fresh tape and sealant, then retesting for air movement.
- Awning windows with stripped operator gears. CGI awning windows depend on a geared operator to hold the sash open. The gear teeth are metal, but the housing around them can crack after years of cranking against a stiff seal. We replace the operator assembly and adjust the sash tension so the next owner doesn’t inherit the same problem.
- Condensation between panes on older CGI units. This is a failed insulated glass seal, and once it happens, no anti-fog treatment will fix it. We measure the unit, order a matching replacement through our glass suppliers, and swap it out without disturbing the frame or the rest of the window. On CGI windows still under manufacturer seal warranty, we’ll walk you through what’s covered before you spend a dollar.
Our CGI Window Installation Process
Here’s what a CGI window installation looks like when you call TruePane Windows & Doors:
- 1
You call, a real person answers. We ask what the window is doing, what model line it is if you know, and whether you’ve noticed any leaks, drafts, or binding. We’ll give you a working diagnosis over the phone and a straight price range before we schedule.
- 2
We measure every opening twice. When we arrive, the tech checks the frame for square, measures the sash and the rough opening, and looks at how the unit was originally sealed. CGI frames are strong, but a poor original installation can cause problems that aren’t the window’s fault.
- 3
We make the parts decision with you. If a part needs replacing, we quote OEM CGI components side by side with quality aftermarket options on paper. You see the cost difference and the warranty difference before we order anything.
- 4
We do the work the same day, in most cases. A single window replacement or repair usually takes two to four hours. We protect the work area, remove the old unit carefully, and set the new one with fresh shims, sealant, and flashing where the opening requires it.
- 5
We test, clean up, and register warranty paperwork. Before we leave, we operate the window through its full cycle, check for air and water movement, and make sure the sash sits true. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, then clean the work area so it looks like we weren’t there.
- 6
You get the Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right after we leave, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
What CGI Window Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens

Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Dale Kessler grew up off Northlake Boulevard, back when Palm Beach Gardens was more working town than resort town. He learned glazing at Palm Beach State College and has spent more than two decades focused on South Florida windows and doors, particularly the fit-and-seal work that separates a hurricane-rated unit from one that just looks the part on paper. That background is why we treat a CGI window differently than a generic replacement. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to service the specific hardware CGI uses, not just swap in whatever fits. If your windows aren’t CGI, we also work on Andersen, Pella, and PGT, so you won’t get a lecture about switching brands just to make our job easier. We stand behind every job with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
FAQs
In most cases, no, as long as the part is a correct, code-compliant match for the window. We quote OEM CGI parts and quality aftermarket options side by side so you can decide with the warranty implications in front of you. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you what your specific window needs before you spend anything.

Window replacement in Palm Beach Gardens may require a permit, especially when impact-rated or hurricane-rated glazing is involved. We handle the permit paperwork for jobs that need it and we don’t treat the process as an excuse to pad the bill. Ask us about your specific project when you call (772) 794-8169.
Some older CGI series and discontinued glass packages are no longer available from the factory, but we can match dimensions and performance with current product or quality aftermarket glazing. We measure every opening twice and quote what’s available so you know exactly what you’re getting before the job starts. Call (772) 794-8169 and describe what you have.
If the frame is square, the glass is intact, and the problem is hardware or a failed seal, repair is usually the better call. We only recommend full replacement when rot, frame damage, or a structural issue makes repair a temporary fix. We’ll give you our honest read over the phone and back it up with a free estimate. Call (772) 794-8169.
