CGI Impact Windows in Boca Raton: What to Know First

CGI impact windows in Boca Raton can typically be diagnosed and repaired within the same week you call, and honest-to-goodness repair work on them usually runs between $180 and $485 per window depending on what’s actually wrong. That’s the real range we see most often across Boca Raton, not a teaser number designed to get our truck in your driveway. Replacement of a full CGI window or door system is a bigger conversation, but we’ll give you a line-item quote so you know exactly where every dollar goes. This page is for homeowners who already own CGI impact windows, storm panels, or doors and are dealing with fogged glass, a cranky roller, a sagging panel, or a screen that won’t sit right anymore. If that sounds like your house, call us at (561) 816-5648 and we’ll talk through what you’re seeing. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, an independent CGI service provider, and we’ve been working on these products in Boca Raton for years.

How CGI Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Fogged or hazy glass on CGI Estate and Targa Series windows. We see this constantly in Boca Raton homes that are ten to fifteen years old, and it’s almost never a seal failure caused by the homeowner. What actually happens is the desiccant inside the insulated glass unit gets saturated over years of exposure to South Florida humidity, and once it can’t absorb moisture anymore, the glass fogs from the inside. CGI’s laminated impact glass makes this trickier than a standard double-pane because you can’t just pop in a replacement sash from the hardware store. We replace the glass unit with a new laminated IGU that matches the original thickness and impact rating, and we do it without disturbing the frame or the surrounding stucco work.
• Stiff or seized crank mechanisms on CGI casement and awning windows. The original crank operator on older CGI units uses a zinc housing that corrodes faster in coastal air than most people realize, especially on homes within a mile or two of the Intracoastal. The symptom is a window that gets progressively harder to open until it either won’t budge or the handle snaps off in your hand. We replace the operator with a heavier aftermarket unit that’s engineered for salt-heavy environments, and we inspect the hinge arms at the same time because if one has worn, the other is usually right behind it.
• Rollers wearing flat on CGI sliding glass doors. This is a noise problem first and a security problem second. The original rollers on many CGI sliding doors use a nylon wheel that degrades in the kind of heat and humidity cycles we get in Boca Raton. You’ll hear it grinding or feel the door dragging, and if you ignore it long enough, the weight of the laminated impact glass starts wearing the track itself. We replace the rollers with stainless-steel ball-bearing units and adjust the door so it tracks straight and seals tight. It’s a half-day job when caught early.
• Hinges sagging on CGI out-swing and in-swing impact doors. A CGI impact door is heavy, full stop. The laminated glass and reinforced frame weigh significantly more than a standard door, and that weight will expose any weakness in the hinge system within a few years. We regularly see Boca Raton homes where the top hinge screws have wallowed out their holes, causing the door to drag on the threshold and let light in around the edges. The fix is a combination of longer screws anchored into the framing, realignment of the hinges, and in some cases, replacement with an upgraded hinge system that’s rated for the extra load.
• Weatherstripping crumbling on CGI window and door frames. This is the quiet one. The original gasketing on CGI frames is a foam-based product that breaks down under years of UV exposure and salt air. You’ll know it when you start feeling drafts near the frame, or when your energy bill creeps up in August for no other obvious reason. We strip out the old gasket, clean the channel, and install a newer-generation compression gasket that holds up significantly longer in Boca Raton’s climate. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what keeps your impact windows actually performing like impact windows.

Our CGI Impact Windows Process

1. 1
   You call (561) 816-5648 and talk to a real person. No call center, no ticket number. You’ll get one of us on the phone, and we’ll ask you what you’re seeing and hearing. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and learned early that South Florida weather doesn’t forgive sloppy work, and that starts with actually understanding your problem before you schedule a truck.
2. 2
   We diagnose the problem on-site. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes out, looks at the window or door, and tells you what’s actually wrong. If it’s a repair, we’ll show you the failed part and explain why it went bad. If the window needs replacement, we’ll tell you that directly and explain your options.
3. 3
   We make the parts decision with you. For most CGI repairs, OEM parts are available and we recommend them where they matter most: glass units, frame components, and anything that affects the impact rating. For wear items like rollers, weatherstripping, and crank operators, we’ll often recommend a higher-quality aftermarket part that’s built to handle Boca Raton’s salt and humidity better than the original. You’ll know exactly what we’re using and why before we start.
4. 4
   We do the repair the right way, not the fast way. That means leveling the door, shimming the sash, sealing the frame, and making sure the window or door opens and closes like it should. My name’s on the truck, so the work has to be right. We don’t rush through it, and we don’t leave a mess behind.
5. 5
   We test it in front of you and walk through what we did. Before we pack up, you’ll see the window open and close, seal tight, and lock properly. We’ll tell you what to expect from the repair over the next few years and what to keep an eye on.
6. 6
   You’re covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s not a warranty card that gets lost in a drawer. It’s Ed’s word, and Ed’s name is on the business.
