AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Hillsboro Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CGI window and door service across Hillsboro Beach, from Hillsboro Mile down to the southern town line. The thing that separates our CGI work here from anywhere else is simple: on a barrier island 200 to 300 feet wide, every opening on every house is a marine-grade exposure point. There is no inland side of a Hillsboro Beach home. We inspect, service, and rebuild CGI windows and doors with that reality in mind, and we answer the phone when you call (786) 743-5882.
We are not a CGI dealer and we are not manufacturer-affiliated. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent service provider, which means we recommend what the frame actually needs rather than what a sales quota says to push. For a complete look at the CGI lines we work on, see our CGI sales & service page. And when you are ready to talk through what your openings need out here on the water, call (786) 743-5882.
Why Hillsboro Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Dale Kessler grew up a few blocks from Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, right down A1A from Hillsboro Beach. He spent summers watching salt air eat aluminum frames off houses that should have been reglazed years earlier. That early education stuck. Our crew has spent years working on CGI windows and doors in Broward’s HVHZ coastal strip, and we treat them as a distinct product line, not a set of generic impact openings. We know how CGI’s aluminum extrusions and hardware respond to salt-air exposure and thermal cycling, which is why we inspect and flash every frame the way we do.
Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. They measure twice before ordering anything. They register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it has been the baseline on every job since Dale started TruePane in 2008. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hillsboro Beach
- Roller and track corrosion on CGI sliding glass doors. The west-facing, Intracoastal side of a Hillsboro Beach home catches salt mist from boat wakes all day. That mist settles on the “sheltered” elevation, dries into a crust, and works its way into roller bearings and track channels. Doors that should glide start to grind within a few seasons. We rebuild the hardware with CGI OEM components and the door moves right again.
- Hinge pin and operator wear on CGI casement windows facing the ocean. Homeowners here cycle ocean-facing casements daily for sea breeze, often for decades. Salt crystals accelerate brass and stainless hardware galling. That means stiff cranks, stripped operators, and hinges that sag. We replace the worn hardware with OEM parts and reset the sash so it seats square.
- Weep hole blockage and sill rot at fixed picture window corners. Wind-driven salt spray off the Atlantic dries into a crust that plugs weep holes on CGI fixed units. Water then sits against the frame and rots the sill corner. We clear the drains, repair the sill where it is still sound, and replace the frame when it is not.
- Delaminated or clouded impact glazing on older CGI units. Prolonged UV and salt mist at the coast attack the laminated interlayer on impact glass. Seals fail, moisture gets between the panes, and the unit clouds over. A fogged impact unit is not just cosmetic; it is a compromised assembly. We replace the sash or the full frame rather than patch a thermally broken extrusion.
- Binding or sagging CGI doors due to settlement. Barrier island homes shift, especially the 1950s-to-1980s stock here. Slab movement throws door frames out of square, and CGI doors are heavy enough that even slight misalignment binds. We true the frame, adjust the rollers, and the door operates like it should.
CGI Service in Hillsboro Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the one fact that reshapes every CGI service call in Hillsboro Beach: the town sits on one of Florida’s narrowest barrier island strips, roughly 200 to 300 feet wide in most places. There is no interior buffer. A house on Hillsboro Mile has the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, which means every single opening on every elevation takes salt air, UV, and wind-driven spray at the same time. The usual contractor logic of reserving marine-grade hardware for ocean-facing openings does not apply here, because there is no non-ocean-facing opening.
For CGI owners specifically, that changes the math on repairs. Rollers that would last fifteen years a few miles inland fail in five or six out here. Weatherstripping dries and shrinks faster. Powder coat that holds up in Boca Raton starts pitting on Hillsboro Beach frames within a decade. Layered on top of this is Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation, which mandates Miami-Dade/Broward NOA approval on every impact product. So code-compliant glazing alone is not enough out here. The hardware and flashing have to be marine-grade on all elevations, not just the ones facing the sea. If it is not in the contract, it is not in the scope.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hillsboro Beach
We service the full residential CGI range that shows up in Hillsboro Beach homes: the Estate Collection, Classic Collection, Sentinel Series, and Tribute Series. That includes impact casements, fixed picture units, single-hung and horizontal rollers, and the large multi-panel sliders common on waterfront estates.
When we rebuild CGI sliding and casement hardware, we use only CGI OEM rollers, keepers, and weatherstripping. No knockoffs that fail within a season in this salt-air environment. For sealed glazing failures or frame corrosion beyond surface pitting, we recommend full-sash or full-frame replacement rather than trying to patch a thermally broken extruded frame. We keep common CGI hardware in local stock so Hillsboro Beach turnaround is measured in days, not weeks. For the broader picture of what we do with this brand, see CGI sales & service.
CGI Service Pricing in Hillsboro Beach
Most CGI service work in Hillsboro Beach falls into three buckets. Hardware rebuilds, like roller and track replacement on a sliding door, typically run between $275 and $600 depending on panel size and access. Operator and hinge work on casements usually lands between $180 and $400 per window. Full-sash or full-frame replacements on impact units start around $1,800 and climb based on the size, finish, and whether the frame itself is compromised.
What drives cost out here is the salt exposure: if we are pulling a 1960s-era CGI Sentinel door and find the frame is pitted past surface level, the scope changes. We price that honestly up front. A free estimate includes the inspection, measurements, and a written line-item quote so you see exactly what you are buying before any work starts. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hillsboro Beach
The Hillsboro Inlet at the town’s northern boundary creates a wind-acceleration corridor that amplifies gusts during tropical storms beyond what nearby mainland communities experience. For CGI products, that means we lean toward Sentinel Series and Estate Collection frames with the stiffest aluminum extrusions in the line, particularly on north-facing elevations near the inlet. The glazing package matters too: you want NOA-approved impact laminated units, not just insulated glass, on every opening. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will walk your specific elevations.
The west side of a Hillsboro Beach home is not protected. Intracoastal boat wakes throw salt mist that concentrates on the rear elevation, dries into a crust, and works into rollers, tracks, and weatherstripping faster than the ocean side. Our techs pulled an 8-foot CGI Sentinel sliding door on Hillsboro Mile after the owner complained it was getting hard to open. We found the original steel roller bearings pitted and frozen from years of salt mist drifting off boat wakes. We replaced both rollers with CGI OEM stainless assemblies, cleaned and re-lubricated the track, and replaced the pile weatherstripping. The door now glides with one hand. If yours does not, call (786) 743-5882.
Hardware-level corrosion, where rollers, hinges, operators, and weatherstripping are the failing parts, is repairable. We rebuild those assemblies with OEM components and the unit works again. Frame-level corrosion is different. Once the aluminum extrusion is pitted past the surface or the thermal break is compromised, patching is a waste of money. We recommend full-sash or full-frame replacement at that point. We will show you the frame condition during the estimate, so you see what we see.
Most 1990s-era CGI impact windows carry Miami-Dade or Broward NOA approvals that remain valid, but the product has to be in original condition. If seals have failed, the interlayer is delaminated, or the frame is corroded, the assembly no longer performs as tested. Broward County’s HVHZ designation holds every replacement to current NOA standards, so the repair has to match. We assess each unit honestly and quote replacement when the existing glass will not pass. Call (786) 743-5882 for a straight answer on your specific openings.
Hardware rebuilds run $275-$600, casement operator and hinge work $180-$400 per window, and full-sash or full-frame impact replacements start around $1,800 and go up from there. Salt exposure drives the exact number, because it determines how much frame we have to address. Estimates are free and written line-item. Call (786) 743-5882 to get one.
