CGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
We install, repair, and replace CGI custom and geometric windows throughout Pompano Beach, typically turning most jobs around in one to two weeks depending on the shape and glass package. Pricing is honest and line-itemed before we start, and we’ll never quote a number that changes once the job is underway. If you own a CGI arch, radius, circle, or oversized trapezoid window that’s fogging, leaking, or binding, you’re in the right place. Call (904) 893-3309 and Ed Winslow’s team will give you a straight answer about what’s fixable and what isn’t.
This page is for Pompano Beach homeowners who already know their windows are CGI and need someone who actually understands how these products age in salt air and humidity. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory rep, so we can tell you the truth about parts, lead times, and when a repair no longer makes financial sense.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Radius window condensation between panes. On CGI’s Estate Collection radius units, especially those facing east toward the Intracoastal, we regularly see seal failures within 8 to 12 years. The curvature puts constant stress on the sealant, and Pompano Beach’s humidity doesn’t let a compromised seal dry out. We replace the insulated glass unit to OEM spec rather than trying to reseal, because a resealed curved pane in this climate almost always fogs again within two seasons.
- Geometric frame racking on older CGI 100 Series. Large trapezoid and parallelogram windows on the older 100 Series frames weren’t always braced the way current code requires. Over years of afternoon thunderstorms and the occasional hurricane gust, the frame can rack slightly, which makes the sash bind and the lock strike misalign. We realign and reinforce the frame with better anchors, then reset the sash so it closes without force.
- Arched window operator failure. CGI’s operable arched windows use a crank mechanism that corrodes faster than the fixed units because the hardware sits low where salt spray and irrigation water collect. We’ve pulled operators out of Cypress Cove homes that were nothing but white powder inside. The fix is a full operator and hinge replacement, and we’ll use OEM hardware when available or a heavy-gauge aftermarket part that’s actually rated for coastal exposure.
- Water intrusion at the geometric leg seams. Every custom shape has seams where straight legs meet a curved top or angled sides. On CGI units from the mid-2010s, the factory flashing at those seams was adequate for inland climates but marginal for Pompano Beach’s wind-driven rain. We see the results as water staining at the interior drywall corners. We pull the interior trim, reset the flashing to a heavier standard, and re-seal with a marine-grade sealant that handles salt air.
- Impact glass scratching on specialty shapes. Homeowners sometimes call us thinking they need a full window replaced after a pressure-washing company or a rogue lawnmower kicked up debris. On CGI’s fixed geometric windows, the laminated outer lite can often be saved with a professional glass polish rather than a full unit swap. We’ll tell you when polishing is safe and when the damage is deep enough that you should replace the pane for structural integrity.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (904) 893-3309, someone answers, and you describe the window. We’ll ask for the rough dimensions, the shape, and the symptom you’re seeing.
- 2
On-site diagnostic. We come to your Pompano Beach home, measure the actual opening, inspect the frame for racking or water damage, and check the glass for seal failure. If it’s a geometric shape, we template it precisely because no two openings are perfectly square.
- 3
Parts decision. We determine whether OEM CGI parts are the right call or whether a quality aftermarket component will perform as well for less money. We’ll explain the trade-off honestly, including warranty implications.
- 4
Line-item quote. You get a written estimate that won’t change after the job starts. No vague allowances, no “unexpected conditions” clauses padding the final invoice.
- 5
Installation or repair. We schedule the work, show up when we say we will, and install or repair the window to the standard we’d accept on our own homes. The technician is background-checked and in a Winslow uniform. You know who’s at your door.
- 6
Test and walkthrough. We operate the window, check the seal, run water where relevant, and walk you through what we did. If it’s not done right, you call us, and we come back. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s not a slogan. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Pompano Beach
Here’s honest pricing for the CGI custom and geometric work we commonly see in Pompano Beach. These are ranges, not final quotes, because every shape and opening is different.
- Seal failure repair on a fixed geometric unit: $280 to $520 per insulated glass unit, depending on size and whether it’s a stock shape or a true custom radius.
- Operator and hinge replacement on an operable arched window: $190 to $410 in parts, plus labor. Coastal-rated hardware costs more, and it’s worth it.
- Full custom geometric window replacement (CGI Estate Collection): $1,800 to $4,500 installed, with larger trapezoids and true circles at the higher end. Shape complexity drives cost more than square footage.
- Frame realignment and re-anchoring on a racked 100 Series: $350 to $900, depending on how much of the surrounding stucco we need to open and repair.
What moves the price: the shape’s complexity, whether the glass is impact-rated (most Pompano Beach replacements are, and should be), and whether the frame itself is salvageable. Call (904) 893-3309 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and he’s been running installations across Broward County long enough to know that CGI windows in Pompano Beach don’t behave the way they do in Orlando. Salt air is harder on hardware. Humidity is harder on seals. And homeowners here tend to know exactly what they paid for impact protection, so they don’t want a tech learning on the job. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer. We also work on PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which means if your home has a mix of brands (very common in Pompano Beach), one call handles all of it. No trip charge inside the home county. $40 off any repair over $200. Ten percent off for seniors and veterans. And a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from someone else. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
FAQs
In most cases, a proper repair using OEM parts done to spec won’t void the remainder of a CGI warranty. We’re an independent CGI service provider, so we’re not here to protect a manufacturer’s margin; we’ll tell you plainly when a repair could jeopardize coverage and when you’re better off pursuing a warranty claim first. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll help you figure out what your warranty actually covers before you spend a dollar.
Stock geometric shapes usually arrive in 2 to 4 weeks. True custom radii and complex shapes can take 4 to 8 weeks because the glass is cut and curved to your specific template. If your window is a security or weather-protection concern, we’ll talk through temporary options. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline before you commit.
Yes, CGI’s frame finishes and glass tints are still available for most lines currently in service, including older 100 Series and Estate Collection units. We’ll match the exact color code rather than eyeballing it, because a near-match on a prominent front window looks worse than a contrast frame. Call (904) 893-3309 with your original paperwork if you have it, and we’ll verify the exact finish.
Repair makes sense when the frame is square, the glass isn’t structurally compromised, and the failure is in the seals, hardware, or flashing. Replacement makes sense when the frame is racked beyond realignment, the glass has deep damage on the laminated impact layer, or you’re chasing the same problem twice. We’ll give you the straight answer, even when it means telling you a repair isn’t worth your money. Call (904) 893-3309 for an honest assessment.
Yes, when a permit is required for the work, we pull it, and we don’t ask you to pretend the job is “maintenance” to skip the process. Pompano Beach code enforcement treats impact window replacement seriously, and so do we. The permit is part of the line-item quote, not a surprise add-on at the end. Impact-rated, energy-certified, done right the first time, or we come back.
Call (904) 893-3309 today to schedule your free estimate. Ed Winslow’s team answers, and we’ll give you a straight number, not a sales pitch. The one down the road.
