AfterCGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, an independent CGI service provider offering West Palm Beach Window Installation since 2011. Our crew services and installs CGI Estate Collection, Sentinel, Classic, and Casement lines, but what sets our CGI work apart here is knowing the city’s Historic Preservation Board rules before we ever order a unit. You cannot just swap a standard CGI slider into Flamingo Park or El Cid, and we’ll tell you that upfront. Call (561) 660-9539 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Ed Winslow grew up in Northwood Hills, and he learned the building trade at Palm Beach State College after summers sealing drafty doors across the county. That local history means we know what CGI windows face on Granada Road versus a new build out west. We use genuine CGI hardware and replacement sashes when available, and for older or discontinued trim, we source marine-grade aftermarket balances and stainless fasteners that match factory dimensions. Our CGI sales & service work leans on that honesty: we’ll rebuild a 15-year-old sash if the frame is square, and we’ll tell you when replacement is the smarter money. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and Ed’s name is on the door, not a ticket number.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Weep system clogging and sill-track corrosion on horizontal rollers. Homes near the Lake Worth Lagoon push salt-laden air into those tracks daily. We see pitted aluminum and binding rollers on CGI sliders throughout West Palm Beach that inland towns simply don’t deal with. Clearing, flushing, and swapping to marine-grade rollers usually restores smooth travel.
- Fogging between panes on first-generation CGI impact laminated glass. Failed edge seals let moisture creep in, especially after hurricane season temperature swings. On older Estate Collection units, we evaluate whether a glass replacement or first ever sash replacement makes more sense than forcing a whole new window purchase.
- Worn locking cams and misaligned multipoint hardware on CGI casements. Breezy seaside spots put constant pressure on latch compression. We realign, lubricate, and replace worn cams so the sash seals tight again instead of rattling through every afternoon storm.
- Sagging or stubborn CGI single hung balances. Salt air works into coil springs and side channels over a decade. We replace balances and weatherstripping on 15-20 year old units when frames are still square, saving West Palm Beach homeowners from an unnecessary full replacement.
- Failed frame anchors in older CBS openings. The 1920s-1940s concrete block homes in West Palm Beach’s historic core weren’t built for modern impact frames. We re-anchor CGI full-frame units into CBS block correctly, which is a different prep than wood-frame work to the west.
CGI Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing no generic CGI page will tell you: in West Palm Beach’s Flamingo Park or El Cid, you cannot pull a building permit for a standard impact-rated CGI single-lite slider even though it passes Florida Building Code. The city’s Historic Preservation Board requires the new unit to replicate the original 1920s Mediterranean Revival muntin pattern with simulated divided-lights. Every job in those districts starts with an HPB Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit is ever issued. Last spring our tech worked on a 1936 home on Granada Road in El Cid where three original steel jalousie windows were leaking air and water. We measured the rough openings, submitted CGI impact casements with simulated divided-light bars matching the original three-over-one pattern, and after HPB approval, installed the units with full-frame anchors tied into the CBS block. It passed wind-load inspection and kept the street-facing elevation exactly as the board required. That’s the kind of detail you only learn doing this work in West Palm Beach week after week.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
No, CGI discontinued many first-generation Estate Collection sashes years ago, so factory replacements are often unavailable. That’s why we source marine-grade aftermarket balance systems and glass that match original factory dimensions, which gets your window operating again without a full replacement. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll tell you over the phone whether your sash is worth rebuilding.
No. The West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board will reject a standard single-lite CGI slider permit even if it’s fully code-compliant. The board requires simulated divided-light muntins that replicate the original window pattern, plus a Certificate of Appropriateness before the building permit is issued. We handle that paperwork from day one.
CGI impact laminated glass holds up well structurally, but the bigger enemy here is salt air, which corrodes aluminum frames, hardware, and weep systems long before the glass itself fails. West Palm Beach’s Intracoastal exposure means marine-grade hardware and proper sill flashing matter more than on inland jobs. We address both on every service call.
CGI windows for West Palm Beach use Florida Product Approval NOAs, because Palm Beach County sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region at around 140 mph design wind speed but falls outside the Miami-Dade/Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. You don’t need the more expensive HVHZ protocol for a West Palm Beach permit. We’ll confirm the right NOA for your specific CGI series before ordering.
Sometimes. If the frame and sash are still square and the edge seal failure is isolated, we can replace the laminated impact glass alone, which starts around $450 and avoids a full sash or window replacement. If the frame shows deep pitting or the sash is warped, replacement is usually cheaper long-term. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll give you an honest read.
