AfterCGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Greenacres: What to Know First
We install, replace, and service CGI custom and geometric windows for homeowners throughout Greenacres, FL, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Pricing for custom shapes and oversized openings runs higher than standard rectangular replacements because the glass is cut to spec and the frame is built around the opening, not the other way around. If you own a CGI window with an arch, a radius corner, or a shape that doesn’t come off a shelf, call us at (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate. This page is for Greenacres homeowners who bought CGI for the impact rating and now need that same product serviced or replaced without losing the warranty or the protection.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sentinel Series seal separation at radius corners. CGI’s Sentinel line shows up in a lot of Greenacres homes built after 2010, and the curved glass units on those windows fail at the corner seals more often than the straight runs. It’s a humidity problem as much as a manufacturing one. Our fix is a full IGU replacement to the original radius specifications, which keeps the impact rating intact.
- Estate Collection arched window frame racking. The larger arched Estate units carry more glass weight than the frame was engineered to hold over two decades of settling. We see the reveal close up on one side and open on the other. We pull the unit, square the rough opening, and reset the frame before the glass goes back in.
- Custom trapezoid and triangle units losing argon. CGI builds these to order, and the non-standard geometry means any seal breach shows up as fogging or a visible film between panes within five to seven years in coastal Florida air. We replace the sealed unit and register the new warranty with CGI in writing before we leave the driveway.
- Oversized opening hardware fatigue on picture window surrounds. When a Greenacres home has a large fixed CGI picture window with operating flankers, the flanker hardware wears unevenly because it’s carrying more cycle load than it was rated for. We install OEM CGI hardware where it’s available and a quality aftermarket equivalent where CGI has discontinued the part, and we tell you which one you’re getting before we order it.
- Geometric window flashing failures at stucco intersections. Shaped windows meet stucco at odd angles, and the original flashing on many 1990s Greenacres installs wasn’t cut to follow the geometry. Water gets behind the frame, the wood buck swells, and the window binds. We cut the flashing to match the actual shape and seal the opening the way it should have been done the first time.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measure and document. We measure every opening twice and record the radius, the angle, and the reveal on all four sides. Dale Kessler grew up off Jog Road in Greenacres and learned early that a rough opening tells you more than a spec sheet ever will.
- 2
Parts decision on paper. We quote OEM CGI parts side by side with quality aftermarket options when both exist, with prices and warranty differences stated in writing.
- 3
Order or custom-cut. For standard CGI units we order direct. For discontinued shapes or odd geometries we work with a local fabricator who cuts to our measurements, then we verify the curve against the opening before installation day.
- 4
Install and seal. We set the frame, shim it true, and flash it to match the actual geometry of the opening, not a rectangle approximation.
- 5
Test and register. We cycle every operating window, check the reveals, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
- 6
Done Right Promise. If anything is out of true, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Greenacres
CGI custom and geometric window work in Greenacres runs higher than standard replacements because the glass is cut to shape and the frame is built around the opening. A single arched CGI transom with new insulated glass typically runs $900 to $1,600 installed. A full trapezoid or triangle fixed unit with new millwork and flashing runs $1,400 to $2,400. A large Estate Series picture window with flankers, replacement hardware, and new sealed units can reach $3,500 to $6,500 depending on size and access. What moves the price: the number of radius cuts, whether the original frame is salvageable, and whether CGI still manufactures the part. Call (754) 339-0784 for a written line-item quote. The estimate is free, and the number on the paper is the number you pay. We don’t do change orders.
Why Greenacres Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a dealer, which means we answer to you and to the work, not to a manufacturer’s sales target. We’ve been serving local communities since 2008, and Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties go unfixed. Every CGI job we touch is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. And if your CGI unit is beyond repair, we quote PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because in Greenacres a window that won’t close is not a thing that can wait until Monday.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. CGI still manufactures sealed units for many legacy lines, but some discontinued geometry and hardware has to come from quality aftermarket fabricators. We quote both options in writing, and we register the CGI warranty whenever factory parts are used. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll check your specific model while you’re on the phone.
A glass-only replacement using CGI-spec sealed units keeps your warranty intact as long as the work is done to manufacturer specifications and the new unit is registered. We register both warranty layers in writing on every job so you’re never left holding a voided warranty and a fogged pane. Call us for a free estimate.
Simple glass replacements on common CGI shapes are often done in a single visit once the unit arrives, typically one to two weeks for custom-cut glass. If your opening is a discontinued geometry, the fabrication adds a few days. We’ll give you a straight answer on timing when we measure, not a wild guess. Call (754) 339-0784 to schedule the free estimate.
Repair makes sense when the frame is square, the hardware is functional, and only the sealed unit has failed. Replace the window when the frame has racked, the flashing has leaked into the rough opening, or the operating hardware is discontinued and forcing the issue. We’ll show you both prices on paper and let you decide. Call us for the exact numbers.
