If you own CGI windows or doors in West Palm Beach, you already know the brand’s reputation: heavy-gauge aluminum, laminated impact glass, and engineering built around South Florida code. What you may not know is how West Palm Beach’s particular combination of salt air, concrete-block housing stock, and insurance pressure changes what your CGI units need. We’re Ed Winslow’s company. Ed grew up in Mangonia Park and learned the trade at Palm Beach State College before putting his own name on the truck. We live here. We service what we sell and we service what you already own.

Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

Most window companies replace. We repair first when repair makes financial sense, and we tell you plainly when it doesn’t. Our crews have dismantled enough CGI units in West Palm Beach to know exactly how the Sentinel Series rollers wear in settled CBS homes, how the Estate Collection casement hinges corrode along Flagler Drive, and how the Classic Impact Series seals behave after a decade of humidity cycling. That field knowledge means faster diagnosis, fewer return trips, and an honest answer the first time.

We source genuine CGI replacement parts whenever they’re available and cost-effective. When they aren’t, we don’t pad the invoice with obsolete OEM hardware. We use marine-grade stainless fasteners and aftermarket weatherstripping that outlasts the originals in West Palm Beach’s salt-heavy air. Every tech is background-checked and arrives in uniform. Upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and the Done Right Promise stand behind every job. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach

Five failures show up on our West Palm Beach service calls more than any others. Each connects directly to this city’s climate, housing stock, or insurance climate.

• Salt-air pitting and corrosion on aluminum frames. Homes along Flagler Drive and the Intracoastal sit in constant salt spray. We regularly find weeping corrosion at weep holes and bottom tracks on CGI Estate Collection and Sentinel Series frames. We clean, neutralize, and reseal these areas, replacing hardware with marine-grade stainless where the original zinc or aluminum has failed.
• Failed or fogged laminated impact glass. After 10 to 15 years of West Palm Beach humidity cycling, desiccant seals in CGI insulated impact units fail and the glass fogs between panes. The impact rating isn’t compromised, but the view and the energy performance are. We replace the sealed glass unit and document the repair for your insurance file.
• Brittle, compressed weatherstripping on casements and horizontal rollers. Salt air accelerates rubber and foam deterioration. A CGI window that leaks air at the weatherstrip isn’t doing its wind-mitigation job. We replace with compression-grade aftermarket weatherstripping rated for coastal Florida exposure.
• Misaligned or jammed rollers on CGI sliding glass doors. West Palm Beach’s pre-1970 concrete-block homes settle over decades. Door frames shift, and the original rollers on CGI Targa Series and Classic Impact sliders bind. We realign tracks, shim where the slab settled, and install new roller assemblies when needed.
• Hinge corrosion on casement windows. CGI casements use multi-point operator hardware. In West Palm Beach’s marine environment, the steel linkage and hinge pockets corrode to the point where the sash won’t close flush. We rebuild hinge pockets and swap in stainless hardware, which often saves the entire window from replacement.

CGI Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s something you won’t read on a national CGI page. West Palm Beach sits north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which ends at the Broward County line. That means replacement CGI units installed here must carry a Florida Product Approval number (FL number), not a Miami-Dade NOA. Contractors who cross county lines without understanding that distinction create real permitting failures, and homeowners end up with an installation the city won’t sign off on. We know the difference. We pull the right product for the right code zone every time.

There’s a second layer: Florida’s property insurance crisis has hit Palm Beach County hard. Carriers are non-renewing policies on the city’s large inventory of pre-2002 concrete-block homes unless owners can document certified impact-rated openings. That’s driving most of our West Palm Beach CGI service calls right now. Homeowners aren’t replacing windows for aesthetics. They need a documented, code-compliant opening that satisfies their insurer’s wind-mitigation inspection. One more thing: in this city’s designated historic districts like El Cid and Flamingo Park, swapping in a CGI impact unit often requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board, with simulated divided lites and custom frame profiles that add months to lead time compared to the same swap in a 1970s CBS home just outside the district. That’s the page no one else writes. It changes what you repair versus what you replace.

CGI Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach

Our West Palm Beach crews service the full CGI residential lineup: Estate Collection, Sentinel Series, Targa Series, and Classic Impact Series. We stock common rollers, weatherstripping, hinge assemblies, and stainless hardware locally so most West Palm Beach repairs don’t wait on freight. When genuine CGI replacement parts are the right call, we order direct. When the OEM part is discontinued or inferior for coastal conditions, we use marine-grade aftermarket hardware that outperforms the original. For anything pre-2005 with a failed frame or multiple broken seals, we run the numbers and often recommend full window installation rather than throwing parts at a 20-year-old unit. A free estimate gives you the repair cost, the replacement cost, and our recommendation in writing.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach

Can you service my older CGI impact windows that were installed before the current Florida Product Approval codes in West Palm Beach?

Yes, we service and repair pre-code CGI impact windows throughout West Palm Beach. The key is documenting the repair properly. We photograph the work, note the existing product approval numbers where they exist, and write up the repair in a format an insurance wind-mitigation inspector can verify. If your older unit can’t be made compliant, we’ll tell you that before you spend a dollar. Call (561) 928-0302 for an exact quote.

Why is my CGI impact window frame corroding faster in West Palm Beach than it did in Miami?

West Palm Beach sits on the western shore of the Intracoastal Waterway with the Atlantic just a few miles east, and the prevailing wind pushes salt spray across the city’s older neighborhoods. Combined with the city’s 1950s-to-1970s concrete-block housing stock that holds humidity against the frames, corrosion sets in faster than in Miami’s high-rise corridors. The fix is marine-grade hardware and weatherstripping rated for coastal exposure. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll assess your units.

Do I need a permit from the City of West Palm Beach to replace a broken CGI window with a new impact unit?

Yes. Replacing a window or door with a new impact-rated unit in West Palm Beach requires a permit, and in historic districts like El Cid or Flamingo Park you also need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Board. We handle the permitting and paperwork on every replacement job. A repair, like a hardware swap or weatherstripping replacement, typically doesn’t require a permit. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll tell you which applies to your situation.

Will repairing my existing CGI impact windows satisfy my insurance company’s wind-mitigation requirements in Palm Beach County?

It depends on the failure. A properly documented repair that restores the window’s original structural and water-resistance performance often satisfies the insurer. A failed frame or multiple broken seals usually won’t. We give you repair documentation your insurer can act on, and we’ll be blunt if replacement is the only path to keeping your policy. Call (561) 928-0302 for a straight assessment.

What is the difference between Miami-Dade NOA approval and Florida Product Approval for CGI windows in West Palm Beach?

Miami-Dade NOA certification applies to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which ends at the Broward County line south of West Palm Beach. This city requires Florida Product Approval, identified by an FL number. A CGI unit with only a Miami-Dade NOA won’t meet West Palm Beach’s code standard for new installation. We only install FL-approved CGI products in this city. Call (561) 928-0302 if you’re unsure what your existing units carry.
