CGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Boca Raton: What to Know First

Custom and geometric CGI windows in Boca Raton typically run between $900 and $3,800 per opening depending on the shape, size, and impact rating, with most custom-radius and arched work completed in two to four weeks from template to install. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we handle everything from single-window replacements to full custom-shaped impact packages without the corporate runaround. This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who own CGI windows, are considering them, or have a geometric opening no standard window will fit. Call (561) 816-5648 and you’ll get a real person who can talk through your project.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a strong impact window, but custom and geometric shapes put stresses on frames and seals that standard rectangles don’t face. Here’s what we see regularly in Boca Raton homes, especially in neighborhoods close to the ocean where salt air works on everything:

• Radius-frame seal separation on Estate Collection bowed and arched units. The curved frame sections are fabricated in segments, and the joints where those segments meet are sealed at the factory. After a few Boca Raton summers, thermal expansion and salt-driven corrosion can crack that seal at the apex of the arch. We see it first as a faint white haze at the top bend, then a draft. Our fix is a full joint cleanout, re-bedding with marine-grade sealant, and re-clamping to factory tolerance, not a smear of caulk over the surface.
• Geometric-frame racking on trapezoid and triangle units in homes along Federal Highway. Those older mid-century houses settle, and a rigid geometric CGI frame set into a settling wall will rack slightly, which shows up as a diagonal stress crack in the corner glazing bead or a window that suddenly won’t close square. We pull the unit, shim the rough opening properly, and reinstall with the frame checked for square before the glass goes back in.
• Roller failures on CGI sliding glass doors with custom transom shapes above. When a large geometric transom sits over a slider, the header carries more weight than the original door was engineered for. The symptom is a slider that drags or jumps on the track, and the cause is usually the header starting to deflect just enough to bind the door rollers. The right fix is a steel header reinforcement above the slider before new rollers go in, otherwise you’ll replace rollers every few years.
• Impact-glass delamination at the edges of sharp-cornered geometric panes. CGI’s laminated impact glass is cut to shape at the factory, and the laminate edge on acute angles, think a steep triangle or a diamond transom, is thinner and more exposed than on a rectangle. Salt and humidity creep in at those sharp corners and the glass starts to cloud from the edge inward. That’s a replacement of the glass and re-glazing into the existing frame, not a whole new window, and it’s a lot less expensive than people fear.
• Sticking casement cranks on custom arched casements in Broken Sound. Arched casement windows use the same crank hardware as square units, but the curved sash puts more bind on the hinge side, and the crank gear strips sooner, especially when the sash is opened in high wind. We replace the crank and hinge assembly with the current OEM-spec hardware, then adjust the sash alignment so it closes with two fingers, not two hands.

Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process

1. 1
   The call. You reach a live person at (561) 816-5648. We ask what you’re seeing, we ask for photos if you have them, and we schedule a time that works. No call center, no ticket number.
2. 2
   The visit. A background-checked Winslow technician in uniform shows up, introduces himself, and walks the problem with you. We template any opening that needs a custom shape, measure on the diagonal, check the rough opening for square, and look at how the existing window was flashed into the wall.
3. 3
   The diagnosis and parts decision. Ed personally reviews every CGI job. If the original frame is still sound, we repair with OEM parts where they matter, fasteners, glazing bead, hardware, and use high-grade aftermarket seals and weatherstripping where the aftermarket actually outperforms the original. If the frame is compromised, we replace the full unit with the correct CGI series spec for your opening.
4. 4
   The work. We install, flash, seal, and adjust every unit as if it’s going on Ed’s own house, because in a lot of ways it’s the same standard. Drop cloths go down, the site stays clean, and you’ll never find a surprise on the invoice.
5. 5
   The test. Every replacement or repaired window gets operated three full cycles, checked for air infiltration with a smoke test, and inspected for glass edge integrity before we call it done.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. No fine print, no gateway voicemail, just Ed’s word.

What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s straight pricing on the CGI custom and geometric work we do most in Boca Raton. These are real installed ranges, not teaser numbers:

• Half-round or eyebrow arched impact window, 36 to 60 inches: $1,200 to $2,600 installed
• Trapezoid or triangle fixed impact unit, 24 to 48 inches: $900 to $1,900 installed

• Glass-only replacement on an existing custom CGI frame: $600 to $1,400 depending on shape complexity

What moves the price: the sharpness of the angles, the glass type, whether the frame is reused or replaced, and the condition of the rough opening once we open the wall. You’ll always get a upfront line-item estimate before we start, and the number we quote is the number you pay. No change orders slipped in. Call (561) 816-5648 for your exact quote.

FAQs

Do you handle warranty claims for CGI custom and geometric windows?

We handle warranty work as an independent CGI service provider, which means we diagnose the problem, document it properly, and either perform the warranty repair or provide everything CGI’s warranty department needs to process your claim. We’re not the manufacturer, but we know exactly how to work within their system so you’re not stuck navigating it alone. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll help you sort it out, free second opinion included.

How long does a custom CGI geometric window take in Boca Raton?

Most custom-shape CGI windows take two to four weeks from template to installation. The lead time depends on the shape complexity and the current factory schedule, not on anything we control, but we template within a few days of your call and keep you posted on the production timeline. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll give you a realistic window, not a vague one.

Should I repair or replace my broken CGI custom window?

If the frame is square, the glass edge is the only failure, and the hardware is functional, repair is almost always the smarter money, usually 40 to 60 percent cheaper than a full replacement. If the frame is racked, corroded through, or the laminate is delaminating across more than a third of the glass area, replace it. We’ll tell you which one applies to your window and why, no upsell either direction.

Can you match my existing CGI custom window if I need one new unit?

We can match the frame color, glass tint, grid pattern, and profile in most cases, though there are older CGI series that have been discontinued and can’t be matched exactly. We’ll be straight with you before you spend a dollar. For an exact match assessment or a free estimate, call (561) 816-5648.

Will the price change once the work starts?

No. The estimate is the invoice, unless we both agree in writing to a change before any additional work happens. No surprises, no change-order games, and if anything does need to change, you’ll know why and you’ll approve it before a single fastener gets touched.
