This page is written for CGI owners in Greenacres who have lived in their home long enough to notice when a window doesn’t close the way it used to. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up off Jog Road in Greenacres and has spent enough humid summers here to know exactly why the right seal and the right opening matter. If you own a CGI product and something is off, we can tell you what it is, what it costs, and whether it’s worth fixing.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sentinel Series: roller drag and track wear on horizontal sliders. Greenacres sees heavy afternoon rain and wind-driven sand. Over time, the track fills with fine grit, the rollers flatten, and the panel starts to drag. Homeowners call it a “sticky slider.” We pull the panel, clean and inspect the track, and replace the rollers with OEM or matched aftermarket parts. The panel should glide with two fingers when we are done.
- Targa Series: fogged insulated glass units from failed seals. The Targa line uses a dual-seal insulated glass unit, and in a climate like ours, the edge seal takes a beating from heat and humidity swings. Once the desiccant can’t pull moisture out anymore, the glass fogs from the inside and no cleaning fixes it. We measure the exact IGU thickness and order a replacement that preserves the CGI frame, rather than pulling the whole window.
- Estate Collection hinged doors: sagging hinges and misaligned latch strike. A door that binds in July and swings loose in January is usually a hinge issue compounded by slab settlement. On CGI Estate doors, we often find the original installers never shimmed the hinge side square. We reset the door in the opening, shim it true, and adjust the strike so the latch seats without lifting the handle.
- Broken or chipped laminated impact glass. This is the one repair we tell homeowners not to try themselves. CGI impact glass is two panes bonded with a polymer interlayer. If it is cracked, the panel still holds together, but the frame connection and interlayer integrity matter. We replace the sash or door panel with glass rated for the same design pressure as the original, and we register the paperwork to match.
- Milgard, PGT, or other-brand hardware on a CGI frame. We see this more than you would think-a previous repair shop grabbed whatever handle or lock was on the truck. CGI frames take specific hardware, and the wrong part can void the warranty on the frame. We source the right hardware and verify the screw pattern and backset before anything goes in.
Our CGI Impact Windows & Doors Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ask about the window or door, the neighborhood, and what you are seeing. We schedule a visit that fits your day.
- 2
We show up on time and measure twice. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice before touching a single screw. If the opening is out of square, we find out before the new unit goes in.
- 3
We diagnose the problem and show you the numbers. If it’s a repair, we tell you what is wrong and what it costs. If it’s a replacement, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM or matched aftermarket. For warranty-safe work, we use CGI OEM parts. Where an OEM part is backordered or discontinued, we say so plainly and show you the aftermarket alternative with the trade-offs in writing.
- 5
The repair or install, done right the first time. Dale’s rule on the whiteboard applies to every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We set the unit square, seal it, and clean the work area before we leave.
- 6
Warranty registration and the Done Right Promise. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights.

Why Greenacres Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have been serving local communities since 2008. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he kept seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties that were fixable if someone just slowed down and did it right. A square deal is what you get with us: upfront pricing, technicians who measure twice, and a Done Right Promise with no arguing. If it is not right in the opening, it will not be right in ten years.
When your CGI product is down and you need a fix that will last, you can call us and talk to a person who knows what Sentinel, Targa, and Estate mean. We also service Andersen, Pella, and PGT, so if your home has mixed brands, we handle the whole job in one visit. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and we register both warranty layers before we leave your driveway.
FAQs
Not when the work is done with the right parts and the repair is documented. We use OEM parts where specified and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, so your warranty stays intact. Call (754) 339-0784 and we will tell you exactly where your warranty stands.
Yes, in most cases. We match glass type, frame profile, finish, and design pressure rating. If your exact model is no longer in production, we tell you straight and show you the closest match before you spend a dollar.
Most repair jobs are scheduled within a few days and completed in one visit. A live person answers our phone around the clock, so if a panel is breached, call (754) 339-0784 and we will tell you what to do and when we can be there.
If the frame is square, the track is clean, and the hardware is good, glass replacement is usually the better call-it costs less and keeps the original installation intact. If the frame is twisted or the track is shot, we will show you the numbers side by side so you can decide with real information.
Yes, where the job requires it. We pull permits, schedule the inspection, and make sure the installation passes the first time. It is part of doing the work right, not an add-on.
