We provide our Window Replacement in Boca Raton with independent CGI windows and doors service across the city, from impact-rated replacements in master-planned communities to hardware repairs on original aluminum units.

Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve installed and serviced CGI products across hundreds of Palm Beach County homes since 2012. That includes original 1980s aluminum single-pane units in Boca Pointe, impact-rated replacements in Broken Sound, and horizontal roller repairs in Boca West. Our CGI sales & service work is independent - we’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we don’t pretend to be. Our credibility comes from knowing which CGI product approvals clear Palm Beach County code, which frame finishes pass ARC review, and where to source genuine CGI hardware when the original part is still in production.
Sonia Raman, who leads our crew, learned the glazing trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending the better part of two decades measuring and hanging windows across South Florida. She keeps a running log of every unit: brand, glass package, U-factor, date, customer name. A warranty conversation five years out goes better when you have the paperwork. Her crew has done a run of impact-rated sliding door replacements in Broken Sound. “Measure it twice, write it down, then we can talk price.” That’s how we work.
Every job starts with a measured survey you keep. The written quote cannot differ from that document. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not offered as a courtesy.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Boca Raton

- Aluminum frame oxidation and pitting. Older CGI single-pane units in coastal Boca Raton communities like Boca West and Broken Sound suffer accelerated corrosion from Atlantic salt air. The frames weaken, the finish fails, and the hardware mounting points degrade. We assess whether the structure can be restored or if full replacement with corrosion-resistant finishes is the only viable path.
- Failed rollers and weep systems in horizontal roller and 3-lite sliding windows. Sand and salt accumulate in CGI sliding window tracks, causing rollers to seize and weep holes to clog. Water pools in the sill, intrudes into the wall cavity, and damages the track itself. We source OEM CGI rollers where available and aftermarket equivalents that meet Florida coastal corrosion standards where they’re not.
- Gasket shrinkage and glazing bead failure. Aging CGI impact windows lose their seal integrity over fifteen to twenty years of Boca Raton sun exposure. The glazing bead dries and cracks; the gasket shrinks away from the frame. Fogging between panes is the visible symptom. The hidden problem: impact rating depends on that seal. We replace when the rating cannot be restored.
- Hardware and hinge failure on CGI entry doors. Original steel or aluminum hardware on CGI entry and French door lines corrodes rapidly within a mile of the Intracoastal. Hinges bind, latches misalign, and the door becomes difficult to secure. We upgrade to salt-air-rated hardware that outlasts the original specification.
- ARC rejection due to incorrect product approval or finish. This isn’t a product defect, but it’s a CGI owner’s problem. We were called to a 1980s CBS home in Boca Pointe where original CGI aluminum single-hung windows were corroded and failing wind ratings, and the ARC required white frames with no grids. Our tech measured the openings, submitted the CGI impact single-hung product approval to the ARC, pulled the permit after clearance, and installed the new units with corrosion-resistant hardware - the homeowner now qualifies for wind-mitigation credits and passed final inspection without a change order.

AfterCGI Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boca Raton sits at the southern tip of Palm Beach County, just north of the Broward County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone boundary. This geographic fact governs everything about Impact Windows & Doors in Boca Raton and our CGI service here. Products must carry Palm Beach County approvals, not Miami-Dade NOAs. Contractors who primarily work in Broward - Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point - routinely stock HVHZ-approved CGI units that cannot be permitted in Boca Raton. We’ve seen ARC submittals rejected because a contractor submitted Miami-Dade documentation for a Palm Beach County address. The homeowner loses four to eight weeks and sometimes faces restocking fees on ordered product.
The salt air compounds this. Within a mile or two of the Atlantic, CGI aluminum frames oxidize faster than inland installations. Hardware that lasts ten years in Coconut Creek may fail in six near the Intracoastal. We specify corrosion-resistant finishes and upgraded hardware as standard for coastal Boca Raton jobs, not as an upsell. The insurance math supports it: wind-mitigation premium discounts on impact-rated CGI replacements often recover the additional cost within three to five years.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton

We work on the full CGI residential line:
- CGI Impact Single Hung and Double Hung series - the core impact-rated vertical operable line for Boca Raton’s CBS homes, available in white and bronze finishes that most ARCs accept.
- CGI Horizontal Roller and 3-Lite Sliding impact windows - common in 1970s-1990s additions and patio enclosures; roller and track wear is the typical service need.
- CGI Vinyl Replacement series - for non-impact openings where code does not require HVHZ or Palm Beach County impact rating; energy-efficiency upgrades with lower U-factor and SHGC values.
- CGI Entry and French impact door lines - large-format openings in luxury custom homes near the Intracoastal; hinge, hardware, and threshold issues predominate.
We source genuine CGI replacement parts when available. Where CGI has discontinued a component, we use high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed Florida product approval and coastal corrosion standards. We stock common rollers, latches, and glazing beads for faster turnaround on Boca Raton service area calls. We repair when the frame, glass, and structure are sound. We recommend full replacement when impact rating, wind-load compliance, or ARC-approved finish cannot be restored.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Yes, provided they carry Palm Beach County product approval, not Miami-Dade NOA. Boca Raton is governed by Palm Beach County code, not the Broward County HVHZ. We verify product approval documentation before ordering. Call (561) 200-8592 if you need help confirming your existing CGI units’ compliance.
Yes. We’ve completed multiple impact-rated replacements in both communities. Each has its own ARC timeline - typically four to eight weeks - and approved product lists. We submit CGI product approvals, finish samples, and grid configurations as part of our standard process. The permit is pulled only after ARC clearance.
Atlantic salt air within a mile or two of the coast accelerates oxidation on standard aluminum finishes. Original CGI hardware from the 1980s and 1990s was not specified for this exposure. We upgrade to corrosion-resistant finishes and salt-air-rated hardware that outlasts the original specification. Call (561) 200-8592 for an assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better investment.
Sometimes. If the frame is structurally sound and the glazing bead can be resealed to restore impact rating, we repair. If the seal failure has degraded the laminated glass interlayer or the frame no longer meets wind-load requirements, replacement is the only code-compliant option. We document both paths in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Properly permitted and installed CGI impact-rated windows and doors qualify for wind-mitigation credits under Florida’s uniform mitigation verification form. The discount varies by insurer and policy, but Boca Raton homeowners with full-house impact upgrades typically see 15-25% annual premium reductions. We provide the product approval documentation and installation certificate your insurer requires. Call (561) 200-8592 to discuss how a CGI upgrade would affect your specific policy.
