AfterCGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI windows & doors service across West Palm Beach, and the thing that sets our work apart is the dual-compliance reality here: historic board sight-lines in El Cid and Flamingo Park meeting Palm Beach County’s 150-165 mph wind-load code. Winslow Windows & Doors is not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CGI. We’re the local crew that repairs, rebuilds, and replaces CGI Estate and Targa products with OEM parts, honest pricing, and a Done Right Promise behind every job. Call (561) 782-7525 to schedule a free estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Ed Winslow grew up in El Cid, watching salt air chew through windows that should have lasted decades. That’s why we treat CGI service in West Palm Beach as its own specialty, not a side job. Our techs rebuild Estate Series casements, Targa single-hungs, and Estate sliding doors every week, from the masonry openings in Flamingo Park to the 1950s CBS ranches near the Intracoastal. We know which series hold up to corrosion and which need early hardware replacement. We carry genuine CGI balances, cam locks, rollers, and weatherstripping, so the parts going back into your frame are the ones that actually match the extrusion. And when you call, a live person answers, not a call center. That’s been true since 2011.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Salt-air pitting on Estate Series aluminum frames and sash balances. Homes within roughly 3,000 feet of the Lake Worth Lagoon sit in the Florida Building Code’s corrosion zone. We see pitted frames and stiff balances in El Cid and along Flagler Drive constantly, and we replace the hardware before the sash stops operating.
- Worn or corroded cam locks and keepers on Targa Series single-hungs. The 1950s-1970s CBS ranch stock across central and eastern West Palm Beach is full of these. Twenty years of humidity and salt mean locks bind, snap, or won’t secure. We swap in genuine CGI hardware that seats properly.
- Fogged glass from failed IGUs in Estate Series fixed windows. Constant UV and humidity eventually kill the seal on insulated glass units. We replace the IGU, not the whole frame, whenever the frame is still square and the aluminum isn’t pitted through.
- Sagging or misaligned Estate Series sliding door rollers. Ocean-side homes push these doors hard, and rollers wear unevenly on tile floors that have settled. Panels go stiff, then start leaking air. New rollers and realignment usually cost a fraction of a door replacement.
- Hard-to-operate casement cranks and hinges after storm cycles. Repeated wind pressure stresses the gear mechanisms. On older Estate casements, we replace crank assemblies and re-torque hinge screws so the sash closes tight against the weatherstripping.
CGI Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something specific to West Palm Beach that pages written for Fort Lauderdale or Miami never have to address. West Palm Beach sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so CGI products here need Florida Product Approval but not HVHZ protocols. That sounds like a lighter bar, except for one wrinkle: the city’s active historic preservation boards in Flamingo Park and El Cid require window replacements on 1920s-1940s masonry homes to match original steel casement profiles. So on a 1930s CBS home in El Cid, you can’t just order off-the-shelf Impact Windows - West Palm Beach style. You need an aluminum profile with sight lines the board will accept, glass with a design pressure rating that satisfies the county, and hardware that won’t corrode within two hundred yards of the Intracoastal. CGI’s Estate Series is one of the few stock aluminum lines that threads that needle. We’ve pulled permits on this exact scenario enough times to know the submittal needs measured sight lines, product approvals, and finish specifications on the first pass, not the third.
CGI Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
Our crews work on the CGI Estate Series aluminum impact casement and fixed windows, Estate Series sliding glass doors, Targa Series single-hung and picture windows, and Estate Collection French doors. We stock the common wear parts locally, the balance cartridges, cam locks, keepers, roller assemblies, and weatherstripping that fail first in this climate. When a part is backordered from the manufacturer, we tell you the real lead time instead of disappearing for three weeks. And if you’re weighing repair against replacement, we give you a window-by-window comparison: the repair cost on this unit versus a full-frame replacement with today’s glass and hardware, including what a Palm Beach County permit and historic board review actually add to the project. This is CGI sales & service work we’ve handled across West Palm Beach for over a decade, and we approach it the same way Ed did when his name first went on the truck: fix it right, or don’t fix it at all.
CGI Service Pricing in West Palm Beach
What you’ll pay depends on the failure and the frame. A cam lock replacement on a Targa single-hung runs significantly less than a full IGU swap on an Estate fixed window, which itself costs a fraction of a full-frame replacement. Salt-corrosion repairs near the Intracoastal typically run higher than the same part inland, because we’re cleaning or replacing corroded hardware rather than just swapping a worn component. Every estimate is line-itemed and free. No change orders. If we quote a roller rebuild at $XV and find the track itself is shot once the panel comes out, we stop and call you before doing anything else. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll put real numbers on your specific model and issue.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
In most cases, yes. The Estate Series casement and fixed windows carry narrow aluminum sight lines that the City of West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board has accepted on multiple 1920s-1940s masonry homes we’ve worked on. But every property is different, and the board reviews each submittal individually. We handle the measurements, the product approval documentation, and the submittal so you’re not guessing. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free on-site evaluation.
No. CGI does not manufacture a jalousie-style replacement, and a direct drop-in would not meet current impact-rating requirements anyway. What we typically do is full-frame replacement with CGI Targa Series single-hungs or picture windows, sized to the existing masonry opening. The opening gets cleaned and prepared for a proper buck frame, then the new unit goes in with a sealed flange and impact-rated glass. We’ve done this West Palm Beach Window Installation work throughout the eastern and central ranch-home neighborhoods, and the improvement in both security and air conditioning cost is immediate.
The Florida Building Code draws the salt-air corrosion line at roughly 3,000 feet from the mean high-water line of the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic. Inside that band, your CGI windows and doors should carry corrosion-resistant hardware ratings, stainless or coated components, and high-quality anodized finishes. We specify accordingly on every job within that zone and won’t install hardware that’s going to pit out in three years. Call (561) 782-7525 and tell us your street, and we’ll know exactly which zone you’re in.
Yes, you need a permit, even for a single unit, because products must be tied to Florida Product Approvals and the city enforces that on inspection. And yes, we handle the full permit pull, including historic board review when the property triggers it. The city and county paperwork adds time and a line-item cost, but skipping it leaves you with an unpermitted install that can bite you at resale or in an insurance dispute. We file it, we schedule the inspections, and we walk the inspector through the job ourselves.
Usually it’s one, and the other gets blamed. If the panel is hard to start moving but rolls okay once underway, it’s worn rollers. If it grinds the whole way and sticks in one spot, you probably have a scored or bent track. We check both while the panel is still in the frame, then tell you exactly what needs replacement before we remove anything. Most roller-only repairs run a few hundred dollars including parts and labor; a full track replacement runs more. Call (561) 782-7525 for an exact quote on your door.
