AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Jupiter Window Installation and doors service throughout Jupiter, Florida, with a focus on the salt-exposure failures that shorten the life of coastal impact glass. What makes our CGI work here different is simple: we see the corrosion patterns Jupiter’s double salt front creates every week, and we repair against those patterns rather than guessing. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate on any CGI window, casement, or sliding glass door.
TruePane Windows & Doors handles CGI sales & service for homeowners across Jupiter service area. We’re an independent service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so our recommendations are based on what the frame and glass actually need, not on moving inventory. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Why Jupiter Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Jupiter homeowners living in Admirals Cove, Abacoa, and the beach-block streets off Jupiter Beach Road call us because we know CGI equipment from the original build details forward. We’ve serviced Sentinel casements, Estate single hungs, and Commercial Series sliders that went in during the 2004 code rush after Frances and Jeanne, when impact glass went from an option to a mandate in Palm Beach County. Those early-2000s units are hitting midlife service intervals now, and the ones that fail in Jupiter fail in predictable ways.
Dale Kessler grew up off Northlake Boulevard and trained through Palm Beach State College’s building construction program before spending two decades on impact glazing installations along the Treasure Coast. That means when we open a CGI Sentin that’s been breathing ocean air since 2001, we know what the hinge pins should look like and what salt pitting means for the operator’s next five years. We source original CGI hardware and balances when they’re available. When a trim piece or weatherstripping line has been discontinued, we use marine-grade aftermarket parts built for Jupiter’s salt exposure, not a generic swap from a warehouse in Ohio.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. And we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, under The Keystone Standard.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Jupiter
- Sentinel casement operators stiffening or seizing. Jupiter’s salt spray corrodes the stainless steel hinge pins and fold-away handles on CGI Sentinel impact casements. A crank that turned with two fingers when the window was installed now takes a fist. We replace the operators and pins and reset the frame-to-sill seal with a marine bedding compound.
- Estate single hung balances losing tension. The Estate line uses spring balances that degrade faster in humid, salty air. Sashes start sagging or slamming shut, and the tilt latch stops catching. We rebalance and replace the hardware, preserving the impact glass where it’s still sound.
- Seized rollers on older CGI impact sliding glass doors. On Intracoastal-facing patios, track debris mixes with salt corrosion and the rollers lock up completely. This is the single most predictable service call in Jupiter, especially on 1980s to 1990s-era homes with original aluminum sliders. We clean the lower track, replace the roller assemblies, and adjust the interlock.
- Cracked glazing beads at frame corners. Storm-driven flex on 2004-code CGI frames works against dry, brittle seals, cracking the beads at the corners. Once a bead cracks, water gets behind the glass pocket and starts its slow work. We replace the bead and re-seal before the glass takes on moisture.
- Corroded interior sill tracks and weep-hole covers. Because Jupiter takes salt off the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, CGI frames here show corrosion on both sides, not just the weather face. A window that looks clean from the outside can have rotted weep covers and pitted interior hardware once you open it. We see this constantly on older waterfront homes.
CGI Service in Jupiter: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Unlike inland Palm Beach County towns such as Wellington or Boynton Beach, Jupiter sits where the Atlantic pushes salt-laden air across the barrier island while the Intracoastal Waterway does the same from the west. The result is a double salt front that attacks CGI frames from both directions. Our tech pulled two 2001 CGI Sentinel casements on a beach-block home off Jupiter Beach Road where the salt air had frozen the operators. The steel hinge pins were pitting and the fold-away handles spun without engaging. We replaced the operators and stainless pins, then rebuilt the frame-to-sill seal with a marine bedding compound. The sashes now crank open with two fingers and we recommended an annual saline flush on the tracks.
That double exposure also explains why a CGI window that looks fine from the outside often has rotted weep-hole covers and corroded interior hardware once you open it. Jupiter’s 62 inches of annual rain keeps those tracks wet long after the storm passes, and saltwater residue never fully dries. If you’re in Admirals Cove or any near-Intracoastal neighborhood, an annual inspection of interior sill tracks is cheap insurance against a full frame replacement.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Jupiter
We service the full residential CGI product range, including the Sentinel impact casement, the Estate impact single hung, the Commercial Series impact sliding glass door, and the Classic impact fixed picture. For each, we know the original hardware specifications and where the frame is most likely to fail under Jupiter’s coastal load.
Our parts approach is straightforward. We source original CGI hardware, balances, and rollers when the manufacturer still carries them. For discontinued trim and weatherstripping, we use marine-grade aftermarket components rated for the same salt and UV exposure your windows face. We stock common CGI rollers, operator assemblies, and balance springs locally so most Jupiter service calls are handled in a single visit. And we replace rather than patch when a CGI frame has clearly exceeded its design life on a coastal exposure.
CGI Service Pricing in Jupiter
Most CGI service calls in Jupiter fall into predictable ranges. Casement operator replacement typically runs $180 to $320 per window depending on the Sentinel generation. Single hung balance replacement runs $140 to $260 per sash. Sliding glass door roller replacement on a CGI Commercial Series runs $220 to $380 per panel, with full track rebuilds higher when corrosion has spread into the frame. Glazing bead replacement and re-seal work runs $120 to $240 per opening.
What drives the price in Jupiter more than anything is how far the salt has gotten. A track that’s only dirty needs cleaning and roller replacement. A track that’s pitted through the aluminum needs more involved work. Your free estimate includes a written line-item scope with both manufacturer warranty layers registered, durations stated, and the full price locked before we order a single part. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll walk your property and give you honest numbers on paper.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Jupiter
Jupiter sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, so your windows take salt-laden air from two directions at once. Wellington and Boynton Beach face only one salt front, which means their frames corrode primarily on the weather side. In Jupiter, we find pitting on both the exterior and the interior sill tracks, which accelerates hinge and roller failure on CGI equipment. An annual saline flush on the tracks helps extend hardware life.
Yes, in many cases an insert window replacement keeps your existing CGI frame while upgrading to current Florida Product Approval impact glass. The frame has to be structurally sound, and that’s where Jupiter’s salt exposure complicates things. If the frame channels are corroded or the glazing beads are cracked at the corners, an insert won’t perform correctly. We’ll measure and inspect before we quote either path. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate.
Usually not. A seized roller on a CGI Commercial Series slider is almost always a track and roller issue, not a frame issue. We remove the panel, clean the track, replace the roller assemblies, and re-align the interlock. If the bottom rail is corroded through, replacement may be the honest answer, but we don’t push that until we’ve opened the door and looked at the metal.
Yes. Jupiter sits in Palm Beach County’s 160+ mph design wind speed zone, and the building code mandates Florida Product Approval impact ratings for every replacement window and door, regardless of wall construction. CBS construction helps the shell, but it doesn’t waive the glass requirement. We handle wind mitigation documentation and code compliance on every CGI job in Jupiter.
Compliance depends on the original product approval, the condition of the glazing beads, and whether the frame-to-sill seal is intact. If the beads are cracked at the corners or the operators have seized from salt corrosion, the window may not perform to its rated load under wind pressure. We assess the frame, the glass condition, and the hardware, then give you a straight answer on whether repair keeps you compliant or replacement is warranted.
