How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a stout window. But after fifteen-plus years of West Palm Beach salt air, sun, and storm cycles, even the best products show predictable wear. Here’s what we actually see on CGI jobs across West Palm Beach:

• Delaminated glass on Estate Collection units. CGI’s Estate Series is a workhorse in older West Palm Beach neighborhoods, but the laminated interlayer can start to fog or cloud near the edges after years of direct coastal sun. That haze isn’t always a seal failure, it’s the PVB layer reacting to heat and humidity. We’ve fixed dozens of these without pulling the frame, which keeps the job cheaper than you’d expect.
• Stiff rollers and sagging panels on CGI sliding doors. In West Palm Beach, fine sand and salt get into the bottom track of CGI sliders. The rollers bind, the panel drags, and eventually the lock stile doesn’t line up. If you hear grinding when you slide the door, don’t force it, that grinding is the roller chewing through the track. We replace the rollers and track as a set rather than patching one side.
• Worn weather stripping on Sentinel Series windows. CGI’s Sentinel line holds up well against wind load, but the compression seals dry out under Florida sun and lose their rebound. You’ll feel a warm draft near the frame in summer, or worse, hear wind whistle during a storm. We re-gasket with UV-stable material that won’t crack in two seasons like some aftermarket rubber does.
• Locking hardware that no longer engages on casement impact windows. The multi-point locks on CGI casement windows are precise machines, but salt corrosion can seize the gearbox inside the crank. The handle turns but the locking bars don’t move. Some homeowners call a handyman who sprays everything with WD-40 and calls it done; that lasts about two months. We open the mechanism, clean it properly, and replace the worn internals with factory-spec parts.
• Improperly reset anchors after a previous install. This one isn’t CGI’s fault. We’ve walked into West Palm Beach homes where a previous contractor installed CGI impact windows but never set the concrete anchors to shear spec. The window looks fine until a Category 2 storm pushes on it. We pull the trim, verify anchor depth and embedment against current Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County requirements, and reset anything that doesn’t meet the mark.

Our CGI Impact Windows Process

When you call us about your CGI windows, here’s how the job runs from start to finish:

1. 1
   You call (561) 660-9539. A live person answers, day or night. You describe the problem. If it’s urgent, we’ll help you triage it right then and there.
2. 2
   We schedule a diagnostic visit. No trip charge inside our home county. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and ready to look at the actual window, not a photo you texted.
3. 3
   We diagnose and write it up. We identify the failure, explain it in plain English, and give you a written line-item estimate before any work begins. You’ll know the exact cost before we touch a screwdriver.
4. 4
   Parts: OEM where it matters, quality aftermarket where it’s smarter. For anything structural, locks, anchors, laminated glass units, we use OEM or true specification-matched parts. For cosmetic trim or non-structural weather sealing, we may recommend a proven aftermarket alternative if it saves you money without cutting corners.
5. 5
   Fix, test, and verify. After the work, we cycle the window or door, check operation under load where applicable, and test the sealing with a spray or smoke check depending on the repair.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right. That’s not a tagline; that’s the warranty my name is attached to.
