AfterCGI Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
CGI sliding and patio doors in Palm Beach Gardens come to us most often for two reasons: a door that binds against the frame in August, or a roller set that groans and drags after a decade of salt air and afternoon storms. As an independent CGI service provider, we diagnose and repair these doors without pushing a full replacement when the door itself still has years left in it. Most CGI slider repairs and part replacements are done same-day, with a written quote before any work begins, and our pricing lands squarely in mid-range because the job gets done correctly the first time.
This page is for Palm Beach Gardens homeowners who own a CGI sliding door or patio door and want a straight answer about what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether it’s worth fixing. If that sounds like you, call (772) 794-8169 and a live person will answer. We don’t route calls through a call center or a voicemail tree.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a genuinely heavy, well-engineered impact door. That’s why most failures we see in Palm Beach Gardens aren’t manufacturing defects. They’re environmental: salt, humidity, and the relentless expansion-and-contraction cycle that wears on a door that faces west into the afternoon sun.
- Roller failure on CGI Estate Collection sliding doors. The original rollers in many Estate Collection sliders are nylon-tired and exposed to the track. In Palm Beach Gardens, fine sand from pavers and wind-blown landscape material works into the wheel bearings. The door gets harder to slide, then bounces or sticks. We replace the roller assembly with sealed stainless bearings, clean the track, and adjust the door height so the interlock meets properly. That last part matters: a misaligned interlock is what makes a CGI door feel like it’s fighting you.
- Hardware corrosion on CGI ClaroLine and Estate hinged patio doors. The handles and multi-point locking hardware on these lines are powder-coated, but the underlying strike plates and screws are often standard steel. The salt-laden air we get off the Atlantic - even a few miles inland in Palm Beach Gardens - eats at those components from the backside. We replace the hardware with marine-grade stainless and treat the screw holes to stop the galvanic reaction.
- Track deformation on wide CGI sliding and panoramic doors. CGI’s multi-panel sliders are rated for serious loads, but when a track is set on a slab that’s moved a quarter-inch over twenty years, the door sags. You’ll see the panel scrape at the center or the locking point drift out of alignment. We realign the track, shim the low side, and reset the panel reveals so the door travels true again.
- Weatherstripping compression on older CGI impact sliders. The gaskets and brush piles compress over time, and the door loses its seal. In a Palm Beach Gardens summer, that means water intrusion at the threshold and a jump in your cooling bill. We replace the weatherstripping with OEM-spec material and reset the door to the correct compression. If the frame has spread, we correct that before installing new seals - a new gasket can’t fix a frame that’s out of square.
- Glass seal fogging on CGI patio doors with insulated glass. When the seal between the panes fails, moisture gets in, and the glass fogs. This one’s not a quick fix: the IGU (insulated glass unit) needs replacement. We match the original glass package - laminated impact, Low-E, tint - so the new panel matches the old one in both performance and appearance. This is a job where OEM matters, and we’ll show you exactly what you’re buying before we order it.
Our CGI Sliding & Patio Doors Process
- 1
Call and describe the problem. You talk to a person, not a menu. We ask the questions that matter: What does it sound like when you move it? Where does it bind? How old is the unit? The more we learn on the phone, the better our first visit goes.
- 2
On-site diagnostic. Our technician shows up in uniform, measures the door opening and the panel, and finds the actual cause. We don’t quote parts before we know what’s broken.
- 3
Written quote with a parts choice. We lay out OEM parts, quality aftermarket equivalents, and what each one costs. For structural components like rollers, tracks, and locking hardware on a CGI door, OEM is usually the right call. For consumables like weatherstripping, a good aftermarket product often performs as well and costs less. We’ll write both options down and let you decide.
- 4
The repair. We do the work the same day in most cases. The door comes off if it needs to, the track gets cleaned and realigned, and the new parts go in dry-fitted first. If the pane is not true, the job is not done - that’s the rule that governs every install, and it applies to a roller replacement just as much as a full door.
- 5
Testing and adjustment. We cycle the door five or six times, check the interlock, the seals, and the lock points, and make final adjustments. A CGI slider should move with two fingers. If it doesn’t, we keep working until it does.
- 6
Paperwork and guarantee. Before the truck leaves the driveway, you get a written record of what was done, what parts went in, and what warranty applies. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If it isn’t right, we make it right - no arguing, no fine print.
What CGI Sliding & Patio Door Repair Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Most CGI slider repairs in Palm Beach Gardens fall between $180 and $850, depending on what’s actually wrong. Here’s the breakdown:
- Roller replacement (single panel): $180-$340, including parts and labor
- Roller replacement (multi-panel or panoramic): $400-$750
- Track realignment and shimming: $250-$550
- Hardware replacement (handles, strikes, multi-point locks): $220-$520
- Weatherstripping and seal replacement: $160-$400
- Full IGU replacement (fogged insulated glass): $600-$1,500, depending on panel size and glass package
What moves the price is the size of the panel, the age of the unit, and whether we’re ordering OEM parts or a quality aftermarket equivalent. If the door is beyond repair, we’ll tell you honestly. Sometimes the math favors replacement, and we’ll quote you CGI alongside Andersen, Pella, or PGT so you compare what you’re buying.

Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been serving Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding communities since 2008. Dale Kessler grew up off Northlake Boulevard, back when this was more working town than resort town, and he still runs the company like a trade business, not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train our own apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be here in thirty years. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - and they answer from here, not a regional call center.
The Done Right Promise is in writing on every job. We register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, and we state the durations in plain English. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work in your home like they’d work in their own mother’s. If something goes wrong, you call the same number, you get the same people, and we make it right. That’s the square deal that’s kept us busy in Palm Beach Gardens for decades.
FAQs
No - we use OEM or warranty-compatible parts and follow manufacturer procedures, so your remaining warranty stays in force. As an independent CGI service provider, we don’t have manufacturer authorization, but we know which components and methods keep the warranty intact and which ones don’t. We’ll tell you before any work begins if a proposed fix could affect your coverage.
Most roller, hardware, and weatherstripping repairs are done in a single visit, usually within 2-4 hours of arriving. Glass replacement takes longer because the IGU has to be ordered and fabricated: plan on 2-3 weeks from the time we measure until the new panel goes in. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll give you an honest timeline for your specific door.
If the frame is square, the glass is clear, and the structure is still sound, repair is almost always the better call. A CGI slider that’s ten or fifteen years old often has another decade in it with new rollers, seals, and hardware. We’ll tell you the truth either way. If replacement is the smarter move, we’ll quote CGI alongside other manufacturers so you can compare.
CGI builds their doors for the Florida-specific uplift and impact loads that other national brands sometimes under-spec. The panels are heavier, the framing is more substantial, and the locking systems are built for storm conditions. That weight is exactly why the rollers and tracks fail the way they do: high-mass door panels wear on rolling hardware faster than lighter units. We know the failure patterns specific to each CGI line because we’ve repaired hundreds of them in Palm Beach Gardens.
