This page is written for Pompano Beach homeowners who already know CGI is a serious impact brand and want a contractor who treats it that way. As an independent CGI service provider, we’re not a factory warranty center, and we don’t pretend to be one. What we are is the local crew that’s been taking CGI windows apart and putting them back together right for over 15 years, in neighborhoods like Cypress Cove, Garden Isles, and Cresthaven, where salt air and afternoon storms do their best to test every seal.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a tough window. But “tough” doesn’t mean “never fails,” and the failures we see in Pompano Beach are consistent enough that we can tell you what’s wrong before we even pull the trim. Here’s what actually happens out here.

• Sentinel series interlock channels collect salt and sand. The Sentinel is CGI’s heavyweight impact line, common in Pompano Beach homes built after 2010. The aluminum interlock at the meeting rail is precise, which means it’s also unforgiving. Salt spray from the Atlantic side and fine sand from the beachside neighborhoods work into that channel and bind the sash. The symptom is a window that needs real muscle to open in September but slides fine in January. Our fix is an interlock cleaning and silicone-lubricant service, plus we check the weatherstripping that’s usually torn by the forced operation.
• Estate series balance shoes strip after a decade of humidity. The Estate series has a heavier sash than most, and when the coil balance’s plastic shoe wears against the metal pivot bar, the sash won’t hold position or cocks to one side. Florida humidity accelerates the plastic oxidation. We replace the balance shoe and pivot bar as a set, not just the cheap plastic piece, because replacing one without the other guarantees a callback in eighteen months.
• Fixed-panel lites in Estate and Targa series show seal failure around the glazing tape. The glass itself rarely breaks, but the dual-pane seal fails along the bottom edge first, showing up as fogging you can’t wipe off. In Pompano Beach we see this earlier than inland because the east-facing elevation takes sunrise heat while the interior AC chills the inner pane, and that thermal swing never stops. We replace the insulated glass unit through CGI’s glazing channels, which keeps your original frame and your warranty posture intact.
• Sliding glass door rollers on the Estate SL series bind in the salt air. The Estate SL is CGI’s sliding door line, and the stainless rollers are good but not immune. Ocean-facing Pompano Beach homes get a particular kind of grit that embeds in the roller bearings and turns a two-finger slide into a two-hand shove. We pull the panel, replace the rollers with OEM or equivalent, and re-tension the adjustment screws so the panel seats properly and drains correctly.
• Multi-point lock bars on Estate casement windows drift out of alignment. The hardware is stout, but the lock bar receiver points are mounted in milled aluminum, and after years of hard close cycles, the bar drifts a few millimeters. The handle then won’t throw all the way to locked. We realign or shim the keepers and, if the spine needs it, replace the lock bar assembly with a matching CGI part.

Our CGI Impact Windows Process

When you call about a CGI window in Pompano Beach, here’s how the job actually goes from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.

1. 1
   Call and diagnostics on the phone. You call (904) 893-3309. A live person answers. We ask what the window is doing, what floor it’s on, and which direction it faces. That last question matters in Pompano Beach because east-facing windows fail differently than west-facing ones.
2. 2
   On-site inspection at your home. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, takes the sash apart far enough to see the actual failure, and explains it to you in plain English before doing any work. You’ll know the part, the cause, and the fix before we touch a screwdriver.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs quality aftermarket. For hardware that’s a genuine safety component, like lock bars or pivot bars, we use CGI OEM or directly equivalent parts. For rollers, weatherstripping, and balance shoes, we’ll present both options and recommend based on age of the window and warranty status. We never make that call silently.
4. 4
   The repair itself. We do the work, replace what’s worn, adjust what’s drifted, and clean what’s fouled. The area stays as clean as we found it, usually cleaner.
5. 5
   The test. Every repaired window gets operated through its full range, locked, and checked for square, drainage, and seal. If it’s an impact window, we confirm the interlock is engaged and the lock throws cleanly.
6. 6
   The guarantee, in writing. You get a line-item invoice showing exactly what we did and what it cost. And it’s backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

What CGI Impact Windows Costs in Pompano Beach

What moves the price in Pompano Beach specifically is elevation and exposure. A second-story east-facing window costs more in labor than a ground-floor north-facing one, plain and simple. Glass replacement varies with the size of the lite and whether it’s laminated. Every quote we give is fixed, line-item, and explained before you approve anything. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll give you an exact number, not a range. Estimates are free, and if you have a written estimate from another company, bring it in for a free second opinion.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We’ve been at this since 2011, locally owned and owner-operated by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number.

No voicemail loops, no call center, no “our next available representative.”

Our technicians know CGI because they’ve spent years working on it, not because they watched a training video on a tablet. We’re also authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which means if we look at your CGI window and tell you it’s time for a full replacement, we can show you options across five brands and let you decide what’s right for your house and your budget. And because the 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every job, you’re not betting on a warranty that evaporates. If it’s not done right, we come back.
