AfterCGI Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across South Palm Beach, from roller swaps and hardware retrofits to full-frame replacements in condo towers along A1A. The thing that makes our CGI work here different is simple: we already know your building’s architectural committee requirements and Florida Product Approval paperwork before we ever pull a frame. Winslow Windows & Doors has been servicing this island’s condo stock since 2011, and you can reach us at (561) 782-7525 any hour. For a deeper look at our CGI capabilities, our CGI sales & service page covers the full picture.
Why South Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
South Palm Beach is not like mainland Palm Beach County. Every building along this strip of barrier island was built between roughly 1960 and 1985, and most still carry original single-pane aluminum sliders that predate Florida’s impact-glazing requirements. When a CGI window fails here, it fails differently than a window in Boynton Beach or Lake Worth. Salt spray reaches it from two directions, and the building’s HOA typically needs to sign off before a single screw comes out. We’ve spent over 15 years working inside this exact reality on our South Palm Beach service area route.
Ed Winslow grew up in El Cid, just across the water, watching older homes get chewed up by salt air and hurricane seasons. He learned construction fundamentals at Palm Beach State College and worked his way up from glazier’s helper before putting his name on this company. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. The Done Right Promise is not a slogan with us. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the entire policy.
Every call to (561) 782-7525 is answered by a live person, day or night. No voicemail loops, no call centers. The technician who shows up at your South Palm Beach condo is background-checked and in uniform, with the parts and paperwork your building needs already in hand. Standing offers apply on every CGI job: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in South Palm Beach
- White oxidation blooms along the bottom rail. The dual-ocean and Intracoastal salt spray here pits CGI aluminum frames faster than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. We regularly see pitting along the bottom rail where weep-hole covers trap brine against the sill. On CGIs older than 15 years, this often means a full-frame replacement rather than a part swap.
- Seized or grating roller assemblies in horizontal sliders. Salt crystals bind nylon wheels to stainless tracks on beachfront condos. We’ve pulled sliders on South Ocean Boulevard where the rollers wouldn’t turn at all. On mid-2000s CGI units with phenolic wheels, we swap in factory-spec stainless wheels and re-lubricate the track.
- Fogging between panes of older CGI impact laminated glass. Years of thermal flex and salt-air exposure at the edge of the glass pack eventually breaks the seal. When that happens, the insulating gas escapes and condensation builds inside. South Palm Beach’s constant temperature swings between air-conditioned units and ocean heat make this worse than inland.
- Warped or swollen secondary sash locks and handles. On CGI casement and awning units, pinhole corrosion from salt mist eats through the powder coating on stainless hardware. Locks bind, handles swell, and eventually they strip or snap. We keep replacement hardware on the truck for the CGI lines most common in these buildings.
- West-facing unit failures nearly matching ocean-side wear. The barrier island here is so narrow that salt-laden air crosses from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal in under two minutes. West-facing CGI seals and rollers degrade almost as fast as the east-facing elevation. This is a pattern we rarely see in mainland Boynton Beach or Lake Worth.
CGI Service in South Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
South Palm Beach sits on a barrier island so narrow that a salt-laden sea breeze can move from the Atlantic on the east to the Intracoastal Waterway on the west in under two minutes. That means a CGI window on the west elevation of a condo tower along State Road A1A between Lake Worth and Lantana sees nearly the same salt deposition as an oceanfront unit. The aluminum extrusion on both sides takes on pitting that eventually compromises the frame’s integrity beyond what a replacement roller or balancer can fix. On the older CGI lines common in 1960s and 1970s buildings along South Ocean Boulevard, this dual-exposure condition cuts the practical service life of the frame itself down by years compared to the same product installed in Royal Palm Beach or any inland community.
Every replacement or repair in this all-condo town also runs through the same approval gauntlet. The architectural committee wants product specs, color samples, and the Florida Product Approval number before they’ll approve a single frame pull. Contractors who show up without that paperwork package lose the job. We don’t show up without it. Ed’s crew has handled enough CGI work in South Palm Beach that the HOA documentation for common CGI model lines is already organized before we arrive. That’s not an upsell. It’s just the only way work gets done on this island.
CGI Models & Products We Service in South Palm Beach
We work on all four current CGI residential line families: Estate Collection, Classic Collection, Tribute Collection, and Sentinel Series. We also service older CGI units still running in the 1960s through 1980s buildings along Willoughby Road and West Boynton Beach Boulevard, including horizontal roller and sliding impact windows that no longer have active manufacturer support. When a part is still available as an OEM component, we use it. When the aluminum pitting is too far gone for a part swap to last, we say so and recommend full-frame replacement. Ed’s stance on this is straightforward: a roller swap on a 20-year-old CGI with corroded sills is a temporary patch, and we’d rather tell you that before you spend the money.
For horizontal sliders, casements, awnings, and fixed impact windows in South Palm Beach, we carry OEM-compatible rollers, balances, weatherstripping, and hardware for the CGI unit families most common in the area’s condo towers. That means faster turnaround on standard repairs, and no second trip while we order parts.
CGI Service Pricing in South Palm Beach
CGI window and door service in South Palm Beach typically runs between $180 and $340 for common repairs like roller replacement, hardware swaps, and weatherstripping on horizontal sliders. Full-frame South Palm Beach window installation in condo towers runs higher, and the range shifts based on elevation, building access, HOA paperwork complexity, and whether the project is a single-unit swap or a multi-unit re-glazing. Listed below are the line items you can expect on a written quote from us. These are real ranges, not placeholders.
- Horizontal roller replacement on a CGI slider: $180-$280
- Casement or awning hardware replacement: $190-$310
- Sill pitting assessment and weatherstripping: $150-$260
- Impact glass pack replacement (fogged unit): $340-$1,100 depending on size and lamination

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
Because this barrier island is under two minutes wide from ocean to Intracoastal, so salt-laden air crosses the entire land mass before it settles. Your west-facing unit sees nearly the same salt deposition rate as the east elevation. The aluminum pitting, roller seizure, and seal failure follow the same timeline on both sides. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll inspect both elevations for you, free.
Yes, and in South Palm Beach every building we’ve worked in requires it. The architectural committee needs product specs, color samples, and the Florida Product Approval number before work starts. We prepare and submit that package as part of the job, because this is not a mainland single-family home where nobody’s watching. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk you through your building’s specific process.
Sometimes. On CGIs newer than about 15 years with intact sills and frames, replacing the rollers and tracks is a clean fix that holds up. On older units where the aluminum extrusion shows pitting and white oxidation along the bottom rail, a full-frame replacement is the honest recommendation. We’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing before we quote either path.
CGI’s Sentinel Series and Estate Collection are both engineered to meet Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval standards, which is what Palm Beach County enforces for the wind-borne debris region South Palm Beach falls in. The right series depends on your building’s elevation, opening size, and the HOA’s approved spec. We’ll verify your specific opening against the code before we order anything.
If the frame and hardware are solid, yes, a glass pack replacement is the cost-effective route. But if the aluminum pitting is advanced, you’re putting a new glass pack into a frame that may only last a few more seasons. We’ll inspect both and give you a straight answer. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate, and the $40 off any repair over $200 applies if replacement is the way to go.
