AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Lake Park, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
If you own CGI windows or doors in Lake Park and they’re sticking, fogging, or leaking, we service them. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we have no quota to push and no reason to sell you a full replacement when a repair preserves the unit. We work on CGI Estate, Sterling, and Sentinel lines across Lake Park, and we know how the Intracoastal’s salt air attacks these frames. Call (786) 829-6722 for a straight answer about what’s wrong.
Our CGI work in Lake Park is different from what you’d get from a generic window company because we actually understand the product. CGI builds impact-rated aluminum and vinyl windows engineered for Palm Beach County code, but no manufacturer’s engineering survives neglect forever. The difference is knowing which failures are repairable and which ones mean the frame is done. CGI sales & service has been part of our shop since the beginning, and we keep factory-spec parts on hand for the most common failures. For homeowners across Lake Park service area, that means less waiting and no second visit for a part that should have been on the truck the first time.
Why Lake Park Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up a few miles south in Riviera Beach, close enough to the inlet that he learned early what salt air does to aluminum. He’s spent the better part of two decades measuring, setting, and weatherstripping windows and doors across Palm Beach County, and he’s particularly known for getting the hurricane-impact specs right the first time rather than rescheduling after the inspector shows up. That’s the standard we bring to every CGI job in Lake Park.
We’re not the cheapest bid in town. We’re the crew you call when you want the work done right and the warranty registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered, durations stated, no paper fights. A live person answers the phone at (786) 829-6722, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form.
When we quote CGI work in Lake Park, we put the options on paper side by side. You see the repair path versus the replacement path, with prices, before you commit to either. No surprise line items after the fact. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lake Park
- Aluminum frame pitting and flaking from Intracoastal salt spray. This is the number one CGI failure we see in Lake Park, especially on ocean-facing Estate Series casements. The bottom rails corrode through, the frame loses its bite on the glass, and water finds its way in. Sometimes we can cut out the bad section and reinforce it. More often, the frame is too far gone and a full-frame replacement is the only responsible fix.
- Fogged impact glass from failed butyl seals. CGI’s impact laminated glass uses a butyl seal between the panes. In Lake Park’s humid coastal air, that seal fails more often than inland, and you get interior fogging that won’t wipe off. The fix is glass replacement, not window replacement, assuming the frame is still sound.
- Corroded locking hardware on CGI sliding doors. Salt-laden air gets into the stainless hardware and locks seize up. We clean, lubricate, and replace corroded hardware with factory-spec parts so the door locks like it’s supposed to. A slider that doesn’t lock is a wind-load failure waiting for the next storm.
- Warped vinyl on older CGI single-hung units. Lake Park’s UV exposure is relentless, and we’ve pulled vinyl sashes that have bowed enough to break the weather seal. The fix is usually a new sash, but the jamb liners often need attention too.
- Jalousie-to-CGI conversions. This one is specific to Lake Park. Whole blocks near Kelsey Park still have 1950s jalousie windows that fail Palm Beach County’s post-2004 impact mandate outright, and most CGI retrofits in those older CBS homes mean a full tear-out and reframe before the new window even goes in.
CGI Service in Lake Park: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
If you live in the older blocks near Kelsey Park, there’s a good chance your house still has jalousie windows somewhere. Those louvered glass panels were standard on Lake Park’s post-WWII concrete-block homes, and they offer almost no wind resistance under current county code. What that means for a CGI retrofit is simple: you’re not swapping a window. You’re tearing out the whole louver assembly, reframing the opening to accept a modern impact unit, and redoing the flashing. It’s a bigger job than what a homeowner in West Palm Beach usually faces, because most of their jalousies were replaced years ago. Lake Park has more of them still in service than almost any town on this stretch of the Intracoastal.
Our crew pulled three corroded CGI Estate casements from a CBS house on Park Avenue where salt spray had eaten through the bottom rails. The homeowners also had a jalousie-fitted Florida room. We did a full-frame tear-out to install CGI Estate impact casements and a matching impact slider, then flashed every opening with marine-grade sealant because the Intracoastal is one block over. That’s Lake Park work: the salt and the code compliance hit at the same time.
Salt corrosion on CGI frames in Lake Park isn’t cosmetic. It’s structural. Aluminum pitting weakens the frame channels that hold the impact glass, and once those channels lose their grip, the window’s wind-load rating means nothing. This far south in Palm Beach County, that’s not a hypothetical. The direct hurricane strike threat is real, and a compromised impact window is just a countdown. We treat every pitted frame as the code question it is: repair it to factory spec, or tear it out and certify the new opening.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lake Park
We service the full CGI lineup in Lake Park: Estate Series casements and picture windows, Sterling Series, Sentinel Series, and the Estate Collection impact windows. That means glass replacement, hardware replacement, rebuilds, and full-frame installs. For repairs that must preserve the original wind-load rating, we use factory-spec CGI components: crimped glazing beads, reinforced jamb liners, stainless hardware. For out-of-production frames or frames that have been sitting in salt air for two decades, we’ll often recommend full-frame replacement with current CGI impact units rather than forcing aftermarket parts into a compromised envelope.
We carry common CGI parts on the truck. If your problem needs a part we don’t stock, we order it and we’re back as soon as it arrives. Dale’s habit of measuring twice and checking the spec sheet before ordering means fewer wasted visits.
CGI Service Pricing in Lake Park
CGI window and Lake Park Door Installation service depends on what’s actually wrong. A straightforward glass replacement runs differently than a full-frame teardown on a jalousie conversion. Here’s the range we quote most often:
- At-a-glance estimate on site: free
- Glass replacement for a fogged CGI impact unit: $450-$1,100 per sash, depending on size and tint
- Aluminum frame repair (pitting, reinforcement, sealant work): $350-$900 per window
- Hardware replacement on a CGI sliding door: $180-$420
- Full-frame tear-out and CGI impact window install (installed): $1,450-$3,600 per opening
- Jalousie-to-CGI conversion with reframing and flashing: $2,200-$4,000 per opening
What drives the cost is the salt damage. A window that needs a $600 glass replacement is straightforward. A window that needs the bottom rail rebuilt because the Intracoastal ate it is more. Call (786) 829-6722 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll put the numbers on paper side by side so you can see exactly what you’re buying.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Lake Park
Sometimes we can repair a pitted frame by cutting out the bad section and reinforcing it, but only if the channels that hold the impact glass are still sound. Most Lake Park frames with visible salt pitting fail that test. We’ll tell you honestly which one you have. If the frame is done, full-frame replacement with current CGI impact units is the responsible fix. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll assess it on site.
Yes. Most CGI retrofits in Lake Park’s older blocks near Kelsey Park start with a jalousie tear-out. The louver assembly fails Palm Beach County’s post-2004 impact mandate, so we remove the whole unit, reframe the opening, and install a CGI impact window that meets current code. It’s a bigger job than a simple swap, but it’s what the house needs. Call (786) 829-6722 for a line-item quote for your specific openings.
Yes, provided they’re installed correctly and the product rating matches your home’s wind zone. CGI’s impact units are engineered for Palm Beach County code, but the installation matters as much as the product. We pull permits, pass the inspection, and register both warranty layers before we leave. That paper trail is what gets you the insurance discount. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll explain the requirements for your home.
We clean the track, replace corroded stainless hardware with factory-spec parts, and lubricate the rollers so the door slides properly and locks fully engaged. If the track itself is pitted or the rollers are shot, we replace them. A slider that won’t lock or won’t seat is a wind-load failure waiting for the next storm. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll get it right.
We can get close, but an exact match is unlikely once the original frames have been fading in Lake Park’s UV for ten years. What we can do is give you the honest answer on paper: the cost of a single custom-colored sash versus replacing the section. Some homeowners choose to replace everything at once for a clean match. Others accept the slight difference. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll quote both ways.
