AfterCGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Boynton Beach: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI custom and geometric window service in Boynton Beach, from arched tops and radius corners to oversized fixed units and true geometric specialty shapes. Most custom CGI jobs run 2 to 5 weeks from measure to install, depending on the series and whether we are working with OEM or quality aftermarket glazing. You will not get a cheap number here, and that is on purpose: you will get a written, line-item price that holds, with both warranty layers registered before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (561) 708-6771 if you own a CGI window or door that needs custom work.
This page is for homeowners who already have CGI products, or are planning a CGI custom window project, and need a shop that understands the product line well enough to say no when a repair does not make sense. Dale Kessler grew up off Lawrence Road in the Meadows section of Boynton Beach, and he has been measuring and setting frames across Palm Beach County for the better part of two decades. We know what the salt air and hurricane season do to this product line.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Estate Collection radius windows losing seal at the curve. The Estate Collection is the line we see most in Boynton Beach’s older custom homes, and the curved glass units are the first to go. The seal fails where the bend radius puts stress on the spacer bar, usually after eight to twelve years of thermal cycling. You will see condensation or a milky haze that never clears, and it will show up right around hurricane season, never in March. We measure the exact radius, order a matched curved IGU, and set it so the sightline is consistent across the arch.
- CGI Targa Series geometric frames binding at the corners. Targa is a newer line, and the extruded corner blocks on triangle and trapezoid units can shift if the original installer shimmed the rough opening short. The frame stays square on the bench but binds in the wall. We pull the unit, correct the shim pattern to distribute the load, and reset the frame. This is not a manufacturer defect; it is an installation correction, which means it is ours to fix, not CGI’s to cover.
- CGI Sentinel Series impact glass with failed interlayer. Sentinel is CGI’s laminated impact line, and the interlayer can delaminate at the edges on units that catch full afternoon sun. It looks like a fogged seal, but it is a different failure: the PVB layer separates from the glass, not the glass from the spacer. We will not reseal an interlayer. The correct repair is a new laminated unit cut to the original daylight opening, and we handle the OEM ordering if your warranty window is still open.
- Oversized CGI picture windows with bowing mullions. On openings over 72 inches, the mullion between twin fixed panels can bow inward under wind load. This is more common on homes east of Federal Highway where the salt air and sustained gusts push the envelope. The OEM fix is a reinforced mullion, and we will quote it side by side against a custom extrusion if the original part is backordered.
- CGI casement and awning hardware on geometric units. The crank mechanisms on non-square CGI casements wear unevenly because the linkage travels a different arc than a standard rectangle. We replace with the OEM hardware kit when the sash is worth saving, and we tell you when it is not. A worn crank that has already chewed the channel means a new sash, not a part swap.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (561) 708-6771, a live person answers, and we schedule a time that works. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
- 2
Measure and diagnose. A background-checked, uniformed tech arrives with a digital caliper and the CGI spec book. Every opening gets measured twice. We identify the exact series, the glass pack, and the failure mode before anyone quotes a price.
- 3
Written, line-item quote. You get a number on paper for the glass, the frame work, the hardware, and the labor. If the unit is still under CGI warranty, we tell you that on the spot and handle the paperwork with the manufacturer so you are not left chasing a claim.
- 4
Parts decision. We walk through OEM versus quality aftermarket parts. On impact units, we will not substitute aftermarket glass. On hardware and weatherstripping, a name-brand aftermarket part can often do the job for less without touching your warranty.
- 5
Install and test. We set the unit the way Dale was taught: frame shimmed, not just screwed; glazing bedded, not just caulked. Then we test the operation twice and check the reveal on all four sides.
- 6
Paperwork before we leave. Both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and the Done Right Promise acknowledged. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Boynton Beach
Custom CGI work in Boynton Beach is not a one-price-affair. The shape, the glass pack, and the series all move the number. Here is what we see most often on this product line:
- Arched or radius top replacement glass: $650 to $1,400 per unit, depending on radius and glass type
- Geometric fixed window (triangle, trapezoid, pentagon) full replacement: $900 to $2,200 installed
- Oversized impact picture window replacement: $2,500 to $5,000 for paired units with reinforced mullion
- Frame correction and reset (binding, bowing, shim repair): $350 to $800 per opening
- Hardware rebuild on casement or awning geometric units: $180 to $480 per sash
What moves the price: whether the unit is impact-rated, whether we are matching existing tint or low-E, and whether the rough opening needs carpentry before the new frame goes in. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the number you get on paper is the number you pay.
Why Boynton Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have been serving local communities since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. That is what we do on CGI jobs. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship, in writing, with no paperwork fights and no fine print that covers neither. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before our truck leaves your driveway. And if it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee. It is a conversation.
We are comfortable with CGI, and we are also an authorized installer for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters when the right answer is not repairing a CGI unit but replacing it with a line that serves the opening better. We will quote both paths on paper and let you decide. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We plan to be in Boynton Beach in thirty years, answering it.
FAQs
No, if the work is done correctly by a shop that follows CGI’s glazing and frame specifications. Impact-rated units must not have aftermarket glass substituted; doing so can void the product approval and the warranty. We use OEM glass on impact units and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave.
OEM curved and geometric glass units typically take 3 to 6 weeks from CGI or their regional distributor. Quality aftermarket hardware and weatherstripping often arrives in under a week. We give you both timelines in the quote so you can decide based on how urgent the opening is.
The answer depends on the failure. A failed seal on a standard rectangle is a glass pack replacement. A failed seal on a curved or geometric unit usually means a full new IGU because the spacer cannot be re-bent in the field. A bowed mullion or binding frame is a structural correction that often saves the existing glass. We will tell you which applies to your opening after we measure it.
For a damaged or open opening, we move quickly. A live person answers the phone any hour of the day or night, and we will schedule the soonest available appointment for a hurricane-exposed window. Most non-emergency custom work is scheduled within one to two weeks.
Yes, where the city or county requires one. Replacement windows in existing openings often do not require a permit in Boynton Beach, but any time we alter a rough opening or add a new opening, we pull the permit and schedule the inspection. The paperwork is part of the job, not an extra charge.
Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule a free estimate for your CGI custom or geometric window work in Boynton Beach. A live person answers, and the number we give you on paper is the number you pay.
