CGI Door Installation: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide

CGI door installation in Pompano Beach typically costs between $900 and $2,400 installed, depending on whether you need a full door system replacement or just re-hanging the existing slab with new hardware and seals. We stock CGI-compatible door components on our trucks and can usually complete the job same-day once the parts are matched. Most Pompano Beach homeowners discover their CGI door needs professional attention when it starts dragging, whistling during storms, or refusing to latch cleanly after years of salt air and humidity have done their work.

Key Takeaways:

• CGI doors use proprietary hinge and seal geometry that generic parts from a big-box store won’t fit correctly
• Installed replacement pricing in Pompano Beach runs $900 to $2,400 depending on door type and hardware condition
• We’re an independent installer, not affiliated with CGI, and we stock OEM-equivalent parts for CGI, PGT, CWS, and ES Windows doors
• Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and every installation carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI’s impact-rated door lines share a lot of hardware DNA, but there are compatibility gotchas you won’t find on a spec sheet. The Contour and Estate series use a 2-inch stile profile with adjustable stainless-steel hinges that have a specific 3/8-inch offset. The Classic series runs a slightly narrower stile and takes a different hinge plate footprint. If you pull a hinge off one series and try to mount it on another, the screw holes won’t line up and you’ll end up drilling new ones into an impact-rated frame, which weakens it. The fastest way to identify your door is the white product label on the hinge edge of the slab. It lists the series, the glass package (usually a Miami-Dade NOA number), and the manufacturing date. Take a photo of that label before you call anyone. It saves a full service trip.

When it’s time to replace parts, we steer customers toward OEM-equivalent components, not the cheapest aftermarket option. CGI’s hardware is engineered as a system. The hinge, the weatherstripping channel, and the threshold all work together to maintain the door’s impact and wind ratings. A bargain hinge from a hardware store might close the door, but it voids the system’s tested assembly and can leak during a pressure-driven storm event. For Pompano Beach, where Hurricane Irma put a lot of doors to the test in 2017, that’s not a corner worth cutting.

Signs Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing

• The door drags on the threshold or sticks at the top corner. This usually means the hinge screws have loosened in the jamb or the slab has settled slightly. In Pompano Beach’s sandy soil, foundation movement is common, and even a quarter-inch shift will throw a heavy impact door out of square.
• You feel air or see daylight around the weatherstripping. CGI doors rely on a compression seal that wears flat over time, especially on west-facing entries that bake in the afternoon sun. A flat seal won’t keep out wind-driven rain, which in Pompano Beach means water inside your foyer during a summer squall.
• The latch doesn’t engage without lifting or pushing on the door. This is a misalignment issue, usually caused by hinge wear or a sagging frame. Forcing it will damage the strike plate and eventually the multi-point locking mechanism, which is far more expensive to replace than realigning the slab.
• You hear a whistle or rattle during high winds. Impact-rated doors should stay silent in a storm. Noise means the seal system has failed somewhere and air is moving through the door assembly. That’s not just annoying; it’s a sign your door isn’t performing to its design pressure rating.
• Corrosion blooms on the hinges or threshold. Coastal salt air in Pompano Beach accelerates corrosion on metal components, even marine-grade stainless. Once pitting starts, the hinge can seize or the threshold can weaken, and that’s a structural problem, not a cosmetic one.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For a standard CGI single door, re-hanging with new hinges, fresh weatherstripping, and full adjustment runs $900 to $1,400 in Pompano Beach. If the slab itself needs replacement but the frame is sound, you’re looking at $1,600 to $2,400 depending on glass package, door size, and hardware finish. A full frame-and-slab replacement starts around $2,800 and goes up from there for custom sizes or high-end finishes. The range moves mostly on door size and whether your existing frame has water damage behind the threshold, which is common in older Pompano Beach homes where irrigation systems have been soaking the entryway for a decade.

Every quote is a line-item breakdown: parts, labor, disposal, and any frame repair shown separately. Nothing gets lumped into a vague “installation fee.” You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start, and the price on the written estimate is the price on the invoice. No change orders, no surprise disposal fees, no “while we were in there” add-ons. The workmanship is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and we’re transparent about who we are: locally owned by Ed Winslow, with a published Pompano Beach address and license number.

DIY or Call Us?

You can safely check a few things on your own. Look for loose hinge screws you can tighten with a screwdriver. Check whether the weatherstripping is cracked or flattened. Take photos of the product label and any visible corrosion. Those are legitimate homeowner tasks that help us prepare before we arrive. What you shouldn’t do is attempt to remove a CGI door slab from its frame. These doors weigh 150 to 250 pounds depending on size and glass package, and the hinge pins are under load even when the door is closed. A dropped impact door can break bones or shatter on the tile. It also won’t go back on square without the right shims and patience.

If the door is sagging, dragging, or leaking, that’s a professional adjustment job. We’ve re-hung enough CGI doors in Cypress Cove, Garden Isles, and Cresthaven to know how Pompano Beach’s specific climate stresses these frames. The tools and experience matter. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll schedule a free estimate at a time that works for you.
