CGI Windows & Doors Service Nationwide

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose CGI Windows & Doors

We provide independent Cgi in Fort Lauderdale windows and doors service, from single-sash repairs to full-frame impact replacements. Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale is not affiliated with or authorized by CGI, which means we recommend the fix that makes sense for your house, not the fix a manufacturer’s warranty department wants you to buy. CGI has earned a strong reputation in South Florida because their impact-rated product lines are built for coastal conditions – and when something fails, we know exactly how to restore it. Call (754) 354-1396 to talk through what you’re seeing.

Fort Lauderdale’s high-rise condominiums and waterfront homes demand windows and doors that meet strict Miami-Dade County hurricane codes. Impact glass and corrosion-resistant frames aren’t upgrades here; they’re the starting point. CGI’s Estate, Sentinel, Targa, and Eclipse lines show up in a lot of those buildings, and our crews have serviced them from the beachfront towers to older neighborhoods like Coral Ridge and Sailboat Bend, as well as CGI Windows & Doors in Oakland Park, FL. We’ve pulled swollen sashes, replaced worn rollers, and reset entire openings. The common thread: when a CGI product fails in this climate, the failure is usually predictable – and fixable.

Why Trust Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale for Your CGI Windows & Doors?

Sean Mackey, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and picked up the fundamentals of construction at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending the better part of two decades learning exactly what Florida weather does to a poorly sealed frame. He and his crew have been working across Fort Lauderdale for years – from quick single-window swaps near Las Olas Boulevard to full-house impact-rated overhauls in established residential neighborhoods – and that hands-on repetition is where his real education happened. If I wouldn’t put it on my own house, I’m not recommending it for yours.

Our technicians work on CGI Windows & Doors in Davie, FL, and across South Florida’s coastal corridor, so we know how their vinyl extrusions, integral mullions, and laminated impact glass hold up after real storm cycles and salt-air exposure – without ever posing as a factory arm. We’re an independent CGI service provider. That independence matters: we’ll tell you when a repair is worth the money and when replacement is the only honest answer. We source OEM CGI balances, rollers, and weatherstripping when available because their profiles are odd-sized, but we’ll install a higher-durometer aftermarket seal or roller only when it meets or exceeds the original spec. Every job gets a written price before a single screw turns, backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: 365 days, parts and labor, in writing.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale

• Sash sag on Targa by CGI horizontal rollers. The Targa line uses a bottom roller system that wears unevenly when sand and salt grit work into the track. Owners notice the panel dragging on one side, then the interlock rail starts binding. We replace the worn bottom rollers, clean and realign the track, and verify the panel rolls square again.
• Weep-hole blockage in Estate Collection single hungs. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity plus wind-driven rain means the small drainage openings on Estate sashes clog with dirt, pollen, and salt residue. Water backs up into the sill channel and eventually rots the wood buck behind the vinyl. We clear the weeps, flush the sill cavity, and install weep covers that keep debris out without blocking drainage.
• Stress cracks at Sentinel Impact Series frame corners. Pressure cycling – repeated positive and negative wind loads during storms – flexes the aluminum-reinforced corners on Sentinel frames. After enough cycles, hairline cracks appear at the welded corners. We assess whether the crack is cosmetic or structural, then either reinforce and seal or replace the frame section entirely.
• Warped interlock rails on 3-panel sliders. When a sliding track goes out of plane – often because the concrete slab settled or the original installers shimmed it poorly – the interlock rails on multi-panel CGI sliders warp. The panels no longer meet flush, water gets through, and the lock won’t engage. We re-level the track, straighten or replace the interlock rails, and get the panels sealing tightly again.
• Delaminating impact glass on older CGI units. Impact glazing is laminated – two panes bonded with a PVB interlayer. After 10 to 15 years of Fort Lauderdale sun and salt, the edge seal can fail and the lamination starts to separate, visible as a cloudy or milky perimeter. We’ll tell you straight whether new glass is worth it versus a whole unit. Often the frame is still solid and re-glazing makes sense.

CGI Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

CGI uses profiles that aren’t interchangeable with off-the-shelf hardware. Balances, rollers, and weatherstripping from a generic supplier won’t seat correctly, and forcing them creates stress points that fail faster. We source OEM CGI parts whenever they’re available, and we keep the fast-turn items – Targa rollers, Estate balances, and standard interlock weatherstripping – in local stock so we’re not waiting on a distributor for common repairs. When an aftermarket part makes sense, we only install something with a durometer and profile that matches or beats the original spec.

The repair-versus-replace call comes down to three things: the condition of the frame, the condition of the glass, and the age of the unit. A Targa slider with worn rollers and good glass is a $180 to $340 repair, done same day. An Estate double hung with a rotted sill from years of blocked weeps might need a full-frame replacement at $900 to $1,600 per opening. If an impact sash is delaminating or the mullion is cracked, we tell you what new glass costs versus a whole unit – and we don’t pad the answer. Call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll give you a written number before any work starts.

Our CGI Service Process – Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis. We inspect the unit in place – track alignment, roller condition, weatherstripping, weep function, glass seal integrity. For CGI products we check the specific failure points those models exhibit, like Targa bottom rollers and Estate sill channels.
2. 2
   Repair or install. We complete the work using OEM or spec-matching aftermarket parts. For full-frame replacements, we reset the opening, flash it properly, and set the new unit square and level so tracks and interlock rails align the way CGI intended.
3. 3
   Test. We cycle every operable sash and panel, run water over the weep system, and check the interlock engagement on sliders. Fresh weatherstripping gets a gap check with a business card – it should drag, not slip.
4. 4
   Warranty. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: 365 days, parts and labor, in writing. If a repair fails, your second visit is free – no charge, no argument.

CGI Products We Service & Install in Fort Lauderdale

We work on the full CGI residential lineup: the Estate Collection (vinyl single hungs, double hungs, and sliders), the Sentinel Impact Series (aluminum-reinforced vinyl built for high-wind zones), Targa by CGI (vinyl horizontal rollers and sliders), and Eclipse (aluminum). We stock common Targa rollers, Estate balances, and interlock weatherstripping locally, which means shorter turnaround on the repairs Fort Lauderdale homeowners need most. Hurricane impact windows, horizontal roller and sliding impact windows, and full frame replacements are the bulk of our CGI work.

We Also Service These Brands

CGI is one of eight product lines we carry and service. We also work on PGT, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That matters when a house has mixed brands – you get one crew that knows all of them, not a different tech for every window.
