AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Delray Beach, from the oceanfront condos off North Federal Highway to the CBS ranch neighborhoods west of Dixie Highway. The one thing that makes our CGI work different here is salt: no other South Florida city we service has the same combination of onshore Atlantic breeze, Intracoastal humidity, and aging mid-century housing stock that Delray Beach does. We know exactly what that does to CGI aluminum frames, rollers, and weatherstripping, and we fix it right the first time. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve been working on Impact Windows in Delray Beach and doors long enough to know their quirks model by model. That matters here because Delray Beach’s salt-laden air finds every weak point in a window or door faster than inland towns ever will. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College before spending nearly two decades installing and repairing impact-rated products across Palm Beach County. His name is on the truck, so the work has to be right. When our techs pull up to a Delray Beach home, they already know what to look for: galvanic corrosion at masonry anchor points, seized sash locks, rollers that have been eating salt for a decade.
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. That means we answer to you, not to a corporate warranty department. We source genuine CGI factory components whenever they’re available, and when they’re not, we use marine-grade aftermarket equivalents that exceed ASTM coastal corrosion standards. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Salt-induced pitting on frame powder coating: Ocean-facing elevations in 33483 take a beating. CGI’s aluminum frames are tough, but years of salt crystallization eventually etch through the powder coat, especially near the bottom track where water pools. We see this constantly on condos along East Atlantic Avenue and Gulfstream Park. Left alone, pitting leads to delamination and frame weakening.
- Corroded stainless steel rollers on sliding glass doors: A CGI Targa sliding door 5 to 8 years old near the Intracoastal will often start binding because the stainless rollers have accumulated enough salt to seize. Homeowners hear a drag when they open the door, or it sticks halfway. Fresh factory rollers restore the glide, but we also clean and treat the track so it doesn’t happen again in three years.
- Compression loss in weatherstripping: Salt crystals build up along the sash perimeter, slowly hardening the weatherstripping until it no longer seals. You’ll feel a draft or see condensation along the glass edge. This is a big one in the older CBS homes west of Federal Highway, where the original weatherstripping has been cooking in salt air since the early 2000s.
- Fogging between panes in early-2000s CGI laminated glass: Delray’s combination of intense UV and salt spray can compromise the perimeter seal on older laminated impact units. Fog develops between the panes, and once that seal fails, the insulating value drops sharply. We replace the insulated glass unit and verify the new seal is rated for coastal exposure.
- Seized sash locks and keepers: CGI hardware is sturdy, but salt build-up inside the lock mechanism isn’t a matter of if, it’s when. We regularly replace sash locks on Sentinel and Estate Series windows in Delray Beach homes, especially older units that haven’t been cycled open and closed through the dry season.
CGI Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic CGI page. Delray Beach’s 33483 ZIP sits with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal just blocks inland on the other. That means virtually every property, not just the oceanfront condos, is bathed in salt-laden air that corrodes aluminum frames, hardware, and weatherstripping far faster than inland South Florida cities. A 15-year-old CGI window in Delray Beach can present the same corrosion profile as a 30-year-old unit in Orlando. Plus, Palm Beach County’s adopted Florida Building Code places Delray Beach firmly in the wind-borne debris region, so every replacement window and door must be impact-rated or paired with approved shutters. A permit is triggered on every single job, including interior-unit condo replacements. That’s a dual-compliance reality here that doesn’t exist in most neighboring towns.
Drive west on West Atlantic Avenue, past the residential streets near Carver High School, and you’ll spot the 1950s to 1970s CBS ranches that are a big part of our CGI work. Many were built with jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum. They’re now being retrofitted with impact glass for the first time. The masonry rough openings almost always need sill and lintel assessment before a new unit can be anchored properly. It’s not a quick swap in Delray Beach. It’s a structural job that has to pass county inspection, and we’ve done enough of them to know exactly what the inspector will look for.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
Our techs service every major CGI residential and commercial line you’ll find around Delray Beach: the Sentinel Series Impact Windows, the Estate Collection Impact Windows, the Targa Series Impact Doors, and the CGI Commercial Series Impact Windows. When a repair calls for genuine CGI hardware, we source factory sash locks, keepers, rollers, and weatherstripping so the structural and impact certifications stay intact. For discontinued hardware or failed seal systems, we use marine-grade aftermarket equivalents that exceed ASTM coastal corrosion standards. We stock the most common CGI replacement parts locally, so most Delray Beach service calls don’t have to wait on a parts shipment.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes, if the original unit was tested and labeled to the standards in effect at the time, it retains its impact rating. The issue in Delray Beach is condition, not code classification. Salt corrosion and frame delamination can compromise performance even when the label is still legible. If your early-2000s CGI units show pitting, fogging, or seal failure, we’ll assess whether they still meet the wind-borne debris standard and recommend repair or replacement from there. Call (561) 816-5648 for an honest assessment.
Often you can just replace the rollers. That’s a $150 to $280 per panel job with factory or marine-grade parts. But if the track itself is pitted from years of salt exposure, or if the frame shows corrosion at the corners, new rollers won’t solve the problem. We’ll tell you straight which situation you’re in. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll come look at it, no trip charge in Palm Beach County.
The whistle is almost always a compression failure in the weatherstripping along one edge of the sash. Salt crystallization hardens the material until it no longer seals, and air passes through the small gap. In Delray Beach, this shows up faster on east-facing windows. Replacing the weatherstripping and cleaning the sash channel usually eliminates the whistle. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll pin down which edge is leaking.
Yes. Every replacement window in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region triggers a permit and inspection, including the jalousie-to-impact swaps we do routinely in the CBS homes near West Atlantic Avenue. With our Window Installation in Delray Beach, we pull the permit, do the work, and stay through the inspection. You won’t chase county paperwork with us.
CGI’s written warranty typically applies to the original purchaser, so as a second owner you may not have warranty coverage. Using an independent service provider like us doesn’t void any warranty you do hold, because the work we perform follows manufacturer service procedures and uses genuine CGI parts when available. We also back our own labor with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Call (561) 816-5648 with your exact model and we’ll walk you through what’s covered.
