AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Boca Raton, from salt-exposed oceanfront condos along A1A to CBS homes in Boca West and Broken Sound. The one thing that makes our CGI work different here is that we pre-clear every finish, tint, and grid pattern with your HOA’s architectural review board before we quote, so the city permits the job and the community approves it on the first pass. If you need a CGI window repaired, serviced, or replaced, call (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers, day or night. We’ve been doing CGI sales & service in Palm Beach County since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, on the truck, and on every job we finish.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We work on CGI product lines every week across Boca Raton’s coastal and HOA communities, and we’ve built our reputation by solving the real-world failures these systems develop in a salt-air, impact-code environment, not by claiming any manufacturer affiliation. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and they know the difference between a clogged weep hole and a structural track failure on a CGI 900 Series slider before they take the sash out. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College before spending the better part of two decades doing windows and doors the hard way, one job at a time. He’s known for showing up on time, explaining what he’s actually doing and why, and never recommending a product he wouldn’t put on his own house. That’s the standard we hold for every CGI repair we perform in Boca Raton service area, from quiet cul-de-sacs in Broken Sound to older homes along Federal Highway that needed a serious upgrade.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- White corrosion blooms on aluminum frames. Boca Raton’s direct Atlantic exposure pushes salt spray onto oceanfront and Intracoastal properties daily. CGI frames, especially at sill and mullion intersections, start showing pitting and white chalky blooms within 5 to 10 years. We clean, treat, and where necessary, replace corroded sections before the frame loses structural integrity.
- Weep hole blockage causing interior water stains. The daily summer downpour in Boca Raton sends water into CGI slider tracks, and if the weep holes are clogged with salt residue, sand, or debris, the water backs up and weeps onto interior floors. We clear the weep path, flush the track, and test the drainage so the next storm drains the way it should.
- Laminated glass edge haze on Estate Collection units. Older CGI Estate Collection windows on east-facing exposures get hit with morning sun and constant salt fog, which causes the seal at the interlayer to fail. You’ll see a milky edge haze creeping inward. It’s not a cleaning issue, it’s a failed seal, and we’ll tell you straight whether the glass can be saved or the sash needs replacement.
- Rollers and balance systems wearing out. CGI 900 Series sliders are heavy, and Boca Raton’s daily open-close cycles combined with salt-laden air wear out roller bearings and balance springs faster than inland locations. We default to genuine CGI replacement parts because aftermarket tolerances on CGI’s extruded aluminum profiles are often off enough to cause misalignment or air leaks.
- HOA-rejected finish mismatches. This is the one we see repeatedly in Boca Falls, Saturnia Isles, and Boca West: a homeowner orders code-compliant CGI windows in bronze anodized, the city issues the permit, the windows go in, and the architectural review committee issues a violation because bronze was never on the community’s approved color list. We pull the approved materials list before any work starts, so you don’t end up paying for a re-coat or a reorder.
CGI Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boca Raton’s city permitting department requires a separate structural permit for any window or door replacement in a CBS (concrete block) home, and many HOAs, including Boca West and Broken Sound, maintain their own approved-materials lists that override generic FBC compliance. We pre-clear every CGI finish, tint, and grid pattern with the specific HOA before we quote, which prevents the city-permits-but-HOA-rejects failure pattern that catches out-of-area contractors constantly. Anybody can meet Florida Building Code Impact Windows in Boca Raton requirements on paper. Almost nobody takes the time to pull the community’s approved materials list and check whether the bronze-anodized CGI Sentinel frame you want is even allowed on your street. We do that as a matter of routine, because we’ve had to fix too many jobs where the windows were installed perfectly, the city signed off, and the association slapped a violation on the door. In Boca Raton, that’s the difference between a window that’s done and a window that’s actually approved.
Our tech was called to a home in Boca Falls where a brand-new CGI Sentinel horizontal roller window in bronze anodized would not latch after the client installed it under a city permit but never got architectural review. We pulled the community’s approved materials list, found the only permitted finish was white painted, and arranged to have our finisher mechanically abrade and apply a code- and HOA-compliant two-part coating on site, avoiding a full reorder. That’s the kind of local knowledge you can’t get from a national call center.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We service the full CGI residential lineup: Sentinel Series impact windows, Estate Collection impact windows, Classic Elegance impact windows, and the 900 Series sliding glass doors. Our crews are equally comfortable replacing a failed sash lock on a Classic Elegance double-hung in Woodfield Country Club or rebuilding a corroded 900 Series slider track in an A1A condo building. We default to genuine CGI parts, rollers, balance systems, weatherstripping, and sash locks, because the aftermarket stuff often doesn’t fit CGI’s extruded profiles precisely enough. We keep common parts stocked locally for fast Boca Raton Window Installation turnaround, and when a CGI window has frame corrosion, broken interlayer, or a failed seal beyond economical repair, we say so plainly and quote a code-compliant replacement rather than patching a system that won’t survive the next hurricane season.
CGI Service Pricing in Boca Raton
CGI service pricing in Boca Raton typically runs from $95 for a simple weep hole clearance or roller replacement up to $250 to $500 for re-coating or finishing corrections across multiple units. Full frame corrosion repair on oceanfront units can reach $1,500 or more depending on the extent of the pitting. What drives the cost is the condition of the frame, the number of sashes or panels involved, and whether your HOA requires a specific finish that needs to be applied in place. Your free estimate includes a written line-item quote, an HOA materials check when applicable, and straight talk about whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote, estimates are free, and we’re happy to provide a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
The realistic options are a mechanical abrade-and-re-coat on site, replacing the sash or frame with an approved finish, or appealing to the architectural review board with documentation showing the product meets FBC impact code. The cheapest fix is usually the two-part coating applied in place, which is what we did for that Boca Falls home. The most expensive is a full reorder. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll pull your community’s list before you spend another dollar.
White corrosion at the sill on Intracoastal CGI units is almost always salt-spray pitting on the aluminum, accelerated by Boca Raton’s direct Atlantic exposure and constant moisture. The salt creates pinholes in the anodized or painted finish, and water wicks into the aluminum, leaving white blooms that spread. It’s a material failure common to coastal installations, and it’s one of the reasons marine-grade hardware and anodized finishes are a legally defensible recommendation in our proposals.
If water pools in the track during rain and drains slowly, or you see water stains on the interior floor near the track after a Boca Raton downpour, the first test is to clear the weep holes and flush the track. If water still backs up after the weeps are cleared and the track shows visible cracking or separation at the corners, that’s a structural issue. We diagnose it the same way every time: clear, flush, test, then inspect.
Yes, CGI Estate Collection impact windows are FBC impact-rated and meet the wind-borne debris requirements for Boca Raton when properly installed in a CBS home. The city permit is separate, and we pull it for every replacement. The larger question is whether the finish and tint match your HOA’s approved list, so we check that before anything gets ordered.
Fogging between the panes on a CGI picture window at eight years is a failed seal at the interlayer, typically from edge haze caused by east-facing morning sun and salt fog, which is exactly what Boca Raton’s coastal climate delivers. It’s not a cleaning issue and it won’t resolve on its own. We’ll confirm the seal failure and give you a straight answer on repair versus replacement. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
