How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious impact window and door. But after ten or fifteen years of Deerfield Beach sun, salt, and storm cycles, we see the same failure patterns repeat across the custom window and door lines. Here are five that come up most often.
- Roller wear and track binding on Sentinel sliding doors. Sentinel sliders use a specific roller assembly that collects sand and salt grit along the bottom track. Once the rollers cake up, the panel drags, then the homeowner forces it, and the track deforms. We pull the panel, clean or replace the rollers, straighten the track, and reset the panel so it glides without leverage.
- Weatherstripping compression failure on Estate casement windows. Estate casements rely on a compressible EPDM gasket for a tight seal. After enough hurricane-season heat cycles, that gasket goes flat and the window starts chattering in wind and letting humidity through. We replace the gasket with OEM-matched material and re-set the sash tension so the window actually closes flush again. If we do not fix the tension, a new gasket will flatten in a year.
- Interlock wear on Targa horizontal sliders. Targa sliders use an interlocking rail that takes a lot of side load. Over time, the interlock wears down and the two sashes start slipping past each other, leaving a visible air gap at the seam. We replace the interlock and adjust the panel alignment, which is a repair best done before the gap widens enough to compromise the impact rating.
- Condensation between panes on older CGI custom-shape windows. Trapezoids, arches, and radius units from the early 2000s era of the Estate line tend to lose the seal at the tight curves first. That is not just cosmetic; a failed seal means the insulated glass unit is no longer doing its thermal job and the frame eventually wicks moisture. We measure the custom-shape in place, order a correct IGU, and wet-glaze the new unit in rather than dry-setting it with tape glazing, which shortens the seal life on curved lites.
- Hinge fatigue on Estate and Targa awning windows. CGI awning hinges are stout, but in Deerfield Beach, salt air corrodes the pivot points slowly. The symptom is an awning that opens slightly short or drops a quarter inch when you release the crank. We replace the hinge set and re-lubricate the operator with a salt-air-rated grease, not whatever spray happens to be on the truck.
Each of these is what we see on the ground. Dale Kessler grew up near Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, and after years working residential and light commercial jobs along the A1A corridor, he can tell the difference between a seal failure and a frame that was never bedded square in the rough opening. That reading of the opening is what keeps a repair from turning into a repeat visit.
Our CGI Custom Windows & Doors Process
This is how a typical CGI job runs, from your first call to the moment we pack up and leave it clean.
- 1
Diagnostic visit and written quote. We schedule a time that works around your day. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures the opening, checks the frame condition, and gives you a line-item quote in writing before leaving. This is where we tell you if the rough opening is true or if it needs correction before any new unit goes in. If it is not in the contract, it is not in the scope.
- 2
Parts decision on paper. For CGI custom windows and doors, we give you the OEM option and a quality aftermarket option side by side so you see the price difference and the trade-off. For most structural parts, we recommend OEM. For wear parts like rollers, hinges, and gaskets, a matched aftermarket part from a reputable supplier often does the job without the lead time.
- 3
Warranty confirmation before work starts. We check your CGI warranty status and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. This is our Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job.
- 4
Repair, replacement, or custom build. The technician completes the work in a single visit whenever parts are on hand. For custom-shape glass or special-order panels, we set the follow-up appointment before leaving and give you a written timeline.
- 5
Testing and adjustment. We cycle, align, and check every setting. If the panel is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every install.
- 6
Cleanup and the Done Right Promise. We leave the work area clean, run you through what was done, and you get our Done Right Promise in writing. If something is not right, we make it right. No arguing.
What CGI Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Deerfield Beach
CGI repairs in Deerfield Beach are priced by the part, the labor, and the condition of the frame. Here are honest ranges for the most common jobs we see.
- Roller replacement on a Sentinel sliding door: $160-$280, including track cleaning and panel adjustment.
- Weatherstripping replacement on an Estate casement or awning: $90-$175 per opening.
- Custom-shape IGU replacement (arch, radius, trapezoid): $340-$680 depending on size, glass package, and curve complexity.
- Interlock replacement on a Targa slider: $180-$320.
- Full panel replacement for a severely damaged or failed Sentinel or Estate unit: $1,200-$2,400, depending on size, glass, and finish.
What moves the price is whether the frame is still square and whether the original install was done correctly. A rough opening that was shimmed wrong years ago costs more to correct than a clean frame. We tell you that before any work starts, and the quote holds. Call (786) 743-5882 for an exact number. Estimates are free.

Dale’s father was a glazier, and Dale still measures every opening twice before he orders anything. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we service CGI alongside Andersen, Pella, and PGT, so the advice you get is not a sales pitch for one brand. It is what the opening actually needs. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
FAQs
No. We are an independent CGI service provider in Deerfield Beach, which means we tell you the truth about your repair or replacement without a brand quota behind it. We work on CGI frames daily and quote OEM and aftermarket parts side by side so you see the full picture. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate.
Most custom-shape IGUs for CGI windows take two to four weeks to fabricate because the curve and lite profile are built to measure, not stocked. We set your follow-up appointment in writing before we leave the first visit, and we do not leave you with a tarped hole in the meantime. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a measurement.
We do all work from the manufacturer’s serviceable parts design, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If a repair is within your warranty period and the failure is covered, we tell you that before quoting the work. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will check your coverage.
Repair is the right call when the frame is square and the failure is isolated to a seal, roller, hinge, or gasket. Replacement is the right call when the frame has shifted, the glazing channel is corroded through, or multiple lites have failed inside one unit. We read the rough opening honestly and quote both options in writing. Call (786) 743-5882 for a straight answer.
Yes. We service Andersen, Pella, and PGT as well, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you know exactly what you are buying. If a different product makes more sense for your opening, we tell you that and give you a line-item breakdown. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate.
