AfterCGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Boca Raton: What to Know First
CGI sliding glass and patio doors in Boca Raton hold up well, but rollers, tracks, and locking hardware still wear out, usually within 8 to 12 years of daily use. We service, repair, and replace CGI doors throughout Boca Raton as an independent CGI service provider, typically completing most repairs in a single visit without pulling a new permit. Pricing runs $120 for a basic track clean-and-roll to $3,800 for a full new impact-rated CGI door installed; call (561) 816-5648 and a real person answers, day or night.
This page is for homeowners in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, and Highland Beach who own a CGI door that sticks, leaks, locks poorly, or just doesn’t glide like it used to. If your door came with the house and you’re not sure of the exact model, that’s fine. Most CGI doors in Boca Raton fall into a handful of product families we know well, and our techs can identify what you have on site faster than a phone rep can.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sticking or grinding on the track, common on CGI Estate Collection doors. Coastal sand and coral dust work into the bottom track, and the stainless rollers start chewing grooves into the aluminum. We pull the panel, clean the track channel properly (most handymen just vacuum it), and replace the rollers with sealed-bearing stainless units that don’t seize up after the first rainy season.
- Water seeping under the sill, most often on CGI Classic and Estate doors that face east. Boca Raton gets forty-plus inches of rain a year, and many slabs have settled fractions of an inch since the house was built. The fix is usually a new sill cap with proper end dams plus fresh sealant bedded correctly, not another bead of caulk over the old one.
- Locking hardware that refuses to engage, particularly on older CGI doors with the original two-point lock. Salt air corrodes the internal lock rods until they bind. We can rebuild the lock with OEM components where available, or upgrade to a current CGI-compatible multi-point lock that bolts into the same cutout, so you keep the impact rating intact.
- Fogging between the glass panes in insulated CGI door panels. The hermetic seal eventually fails, even on impact glass. On newer doors still under warranty, we can guide you through the claim. On out-of-warranty doors, we replace the insulated glass unit through our CGI supply channel, reusing your existing frame so you’re not paying for a whole new door.
- Side panel or fixed panel alignment drift on large CGI sliding units. We see this on 12- and 16-foot openings where the wall shims from the original install have compressed over time. We re-shim, re-square, and reseal the frame so the panel doesn’t fight the track on every open and close.
Our CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
- 1
Call (561) 816-5648. You’ll speak to a person, not a machine. We ask about what the door’s doing, what part of Boca Raton you’re in, and whether the door still closes securely today.
- 2
We show up on time, in uniform, with a truck stocked for CGI work. No trip charge for homes in our home county, and the tech you see at the door is the same background-checked professional whose name was sent with your confirmation.
- 3
We run the door through a full diagnostic. Track alignment, roller condition, lock engagement, weatherstripping, frame squareness. We check the stickers and frame codes to identify your CGI series, which tells us what parts fit correctly.
- 4
Parts decision, made with you in the loop. Where the original CGI part is still sold and the repair is warranty-sensitive, that’s what we want to use. Where a quality aftermarket part performs identically and the door is long out of warranty, we’ll say so and give you both numbers.
- 5
The repair gets done, then tested like the door is brand new. We open and close the full travel at least a dozen times, check the lock from outside and inside, and hosedown test the sill on exterior-facing door repairs. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we leave, not after you call back.
- 6
We walk you through what we did and stand behind it. You get a line-item invoice. You keep our number in your phone. We’re the one down the road, and we answer when you call.
What CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Boca Raton
Here’s honest math from jobs we’ve done across Boca Raton.
- Track deep-clean, alignment, and final adjustment: $120 to $200 per door, often all a sticking door needs.
- Single roller replacement or lock rebuild: $180 to $420, depending on the CGI lock style and parts availability.
- New insulated glass unit in an existing CGI frame: $650 to $1,200 per panel, less than many homeowners expect.
- Full new impact-rated CGI sliding door installed: $2,200 to $3,800 for a standard single-panel slider, more for multi-panel or custom finishes.
What moves the price is your specific CGI door series, the panel opening size, and whether the original frame is still square enough to reuse. Every job gets a written, upfront line-item quote before we begin. No trip charge in our home county. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate on your specific door, and we’ll put the number in writing.

FAQs
We can repair your door, and we’ll tell you honestly whether the repair should be handled by CGI directly under warranty first. As an independent CGI service provider, we don’t process CGI warranty claims on the manufacturer’s behalf, but we can guide you through the claim, perform a warranty-preserving temporary repair if needed, and step in whenever the warranty won’t cover the full cost. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific door.
It depends on the part and the age of your door. For anything safety-rated or warranty-sensitive – rollers, locks, impact glass – we use CGI factory components wherever they’re available. For wear parts like weatherstripping and sweep caps on doors that are a decade old and out of warranty, a quality aftermarket equivalent often performs identically and costs less, and we’ll show you both options on the written estimate.
If the frame is square, the glass is intact, and the issue is a roller, track, lock, or weatherstripping problem, repair wins every time. Replacement makes sense when the frame itself is bent, the sill is cracked through, or the door used to hold water during a storm and your insurance is involved. We’ll tell you the truth, and we’ll quote both paths when it’s a close call. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free second opinion if another company already told you to replace it.
Most CGI sliding glass and patio door repairs in Boca Raton are scheduled within a few days, and if the door won’t close or lock, we treat that as urgent and work you into the schedule immediately. A live person answers our phone around the clock. That’s a standing commitment, not a promo.
Both. We install new CGI impact-rated sliding doors throughout Boca Raton, with all the CGI product families you’d expect. If you want us to quote a new door, we’ll include the line-item price for replacement in writing, and you can decide whether repairing the old frame still makes sense. Estimates are free.
