AfterCGI Window Replacement in Boynton Beach: What to Know First
CGI window replacement in Boynton Beach typically runs $900 to $2,800 per opening depending on the series, size, and whether you’re doing a full-frame replacement or an insert. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory branch, which means we quote the work straight and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Most single-opening replacements are done in one visit.
If you own a home in Boynton Beach with original CGI windows, this page will tell you what actually fails on these products, what it costs to fix, and how we handle the work with the same care Dale Kessler’s had on job sites across Palm Beach County for over four decades. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule a free estimate.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI makes a solid impact window. But every product line has its weak points, and after replacing hundreds of them in Boynton Beach, we know exactly where to look. Here are the five failure patterns we see most often:
- CGI Estate Series - seal failure at the glazing bead. The Estate line, common in gated communities west of I-95 like Canyon Lakes and Valencia Reserve, uses a glazing bead that can develop hairline gaps after years of direct sun. The symptom is condensation between panes that shows up in August, never in January. We replace the insulated glass unit and rebed the bead with fresh sealant rated for Florida humidity.
- CGI Sentinel Series - roller and balance wear on horizontal sliders. Sentinel sliders see heavy use in Boynton Beach’s lakefront neighborhoods, and the nylon rollers flatten over time. The sash starts dragging, then the homeowner forces it, then the frame corner pops. We replace rollers with either OEM parts or a higher-durometer aftermarket roller when the track shows wear, and we square the frame before the new sash goes in.
- CGI Classic Series - frame oxidation at the weep holes. The Classic line’s aluminum frame is stout, but salt air near the Intracoastal works on the weep hole edges. You’ll see white chalky residue and, eventually, water staining at the sill. We clean the frame, treat the corrosion, replace the weeping system, and confirm drainage before reinstalling the sash.
- CGI Targa Series - stress cracks at the corner welds. Targa casement and picture windows carry big glass loads, and we’ve seen hairline cracks radiate from the welded corners after hurricane-season pressure cycling. That’s not a defect; it’s what happens when a house breathes and the frame doesn’t. We replace the glass unit and, where the corner is compromised, the full sash.
- CGI custom architectural windows - aftermarket parts that don’t match. Older CGI builds in Boynton Beach’s custom homes off Hypoluxo Road often have non-standard shapes. An owner calls a general handyman, gets a generic balance or shoe, and the sash never closes right again. We source the correct OEM components or machine a proper replacement, because a window that binds in July is a window that wasn’t done right.
Our CGI Window Replacement Process
Every CGI job follows the same sequence, whether it’s a single slider in Quantum Lakes or a full wall of picture windows in The Meadows. No shortcuts, no skipped steps.
- 1
Call and diagnostics. You reach a live person, day or night. We ask about the symptom, the year the home was built, and whether the windows are original. If it’s a seal or balance issue, we usually know the series before we arrive.
- 2
On-site measurement and inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures every opening twice. We check the rough opening, the frame condition, and the existing flashing. On CGI units, we also verify the product approval label so the replacement matches what’s on record for your home.
- 3
Parts decision, in writing. If OEM parts are available and the warranty supports them, we use them. If a quality aftermarket part will outlast the original, we tell you why and put both options on paper with prices. No verbal handshakes.
- 4
The replacement. For inserts, the old sash comes out and the new one goes in shimmed and squared. For full-frame, we pull the old frame, reset the opening, flash it properly, and set the new unit plumb and true. Every opening gets cleaned and the fasteners rechecked.
- 5
Test and document. We operate the window through its full range, check drainage, and inspect the seal. Then we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the paperwork. Durations stated, coverage spelled out.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print.
What CGI Window Replacement Costs in Boynton Beach
Here’s what we see across Boynton Beach, from the 55+ communities along Gateway Boulevard to the waterfront properties near the inlet:
- Insulated glass unit replacement (fogged seal): $300 to $700 per window, depending on size and glass package.
- Insert window replacement (new sash in existing CGI frame): $800 to $1,500 per opening.
- Full-frame replacement (standard sizes, impact-rated): $1,400 to $2,800 per opening.
- Custom or oversized CGI units: $2,500 to $5,000+, quoted per job after measurement.
The price moves on three things: glass package, frame condition, and whether the opening is standard or custom. If the existing frame is square and the flange is intact, an insert saves you real money. If the frame has corrosion or the previous install was out of true, a full-frame replacement is the honest call. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price on the bill.
Why Boynton Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been doing this work in Palm Beach County since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means we don’t rush a CGI replacement, we don’t reuse worn components to save a buck, and we stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise in writing. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to treat your home like their own. We’re also authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and PGT, so if a CGI unit needs replacing and you want to see side-by-side options from other impact-rated brands, we’ll quote them on paper. A square deal, every time.
FAQs
No, not when the work is done properly. CGI’s warranty covers the product, not the installation. As an independent CGI service provider, we follow CGI’s procedures for glass unit replacement and sash work, and we document everything so your warranty stays intact. If a claim is ever needed, our paperwork supports it. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll explain what applies to your specific series.
The answer depends on three things: whether the frame is still structurally sound, whether the seal failure is isolated or spread across multiple panes, and whether the hardware is still supported. A single fogged unit in an otherwise solid frame is usually a $300 to $700 glass replacement. A frame with corrosion, a cracked corner weld, or mismatched hardware from a previous handyman repair usually justifies a new unit. We’ll measure and show you the evidence before we quote anything.
In most cases, yes. CGI’s standard aluminum finishes and glass tints are still available, and we’ll match the frame color, glass package, and hardware style as closely as the original. For older custom units, we’ll show you the closest current offering and discuss whether a pair replacement keeps the elevation looking consistent. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free match-and-quote visit.
Most single-opening replacements are completed the same day we arrive with the new unit. Lead time depends on whether the glass package is in stock locally or needs to be ordered, and we’ll tell you the real timeline when we quote. We’ll be there when we say.
No. We quote the job upfront, in writing, and the price doesn’t move unless we both agree in writing that something changed. As Dale puts it, “If it’s not in writing, it’s not a guarantee, it’s a conversation.” We don’t trade in surprise line items.
