Call (754) 354-3671 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Our crews work on CGI windows and doors across Broward County every week, so we know how their frames, weatherstripping, and hardware hold up, or fail, under real South Florida conditions. That matters in Plantation, where the subtropical climate tests every seal and track on a daily basis, which is why our Window Repair in Plantation crews stay busy year-round. Spencer Odell, our owner, has spent the better part of two decades measuring, installing, and warranting windows and doors across Broward County, and his rule is simple: if he wouldn’t put it on his own house, he won’t sell it to yours.
We carry genuine CGI sales & service parts when they’re available, and we stock the common stuff, rollers, sash balances, weatherstripping, lock sets, so a Plantation homeowner isn’t waiting two weeks for a part that should be on the truck. If you need full replacement or want to explore new CGI impact windows, we quote a written price before any work starts. Every visit is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no argument needed. And before our tech arrives, you get their name and photo sent to your phone. You know exactly who’s at the door before you open it.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Plantation
Here’s what we see most often on CGI products in Plantation homes:
- Sash balances losing tension. Older CGI single-hung windows, especially the 800 Series, accumulate grit from Plantation’s humidity and relentless UV, and the coil balances inside the frame lose tension. The window slams shut or won’t stay open. We replace the balance assemblies and clean the tracks so the window operates like it should.
- Weep holes clogged with sand and mulch. CGI sliding glass door tracks, particularly on the Estate Collection, have weep holes that drain water. Plantation’s mature landscaping, think decades of sand, mulch, and leaf debris blowing around East Plantation yards, clogs those holes. After a strong afternoon thunderstorm, water blows under the track and pools inside. We clear the channels, flush the weep system, and reset the track height if needed.
- Brittle vinyl glazing beads on fixed windows. CGI Custom Fixed and Picture windows use vinyl glazing beads that hold the glass in place. Intense Plantation sun makes that vinyl brittle over ten or fifteen years, and we see cracked or missing beads that let the glass rattle and eventually let humid air into the insulated glass unit. We replace the beads before the seal fails.
- Worn roller assemblies on horizontal rollers. CGI horizontal roller windows and doors ride on nylon rollers that wear faster in Plantation’s sandy soil and humid air. Panels jump the track or bind on tiled sills. We replace the rollers with OEM or spec-matched aftermarket parts and realign the panel.
- Multi-point lock misalignment. Impact-rated CGI doors use multi-point lock sets that engage at three or more points. Years of thermal expansion and the occasional hurricane-force pressure cycle knock the keepers out of alignment, and the door won’t lock smoothly. We realign or replace the lock hardware so the door seals tight and locks dead-on.
CGI Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something specific to Plantation that a generic CGI page won’t tell you. In East Plantation, many original 1960s aluminum sliders were later retrofitted with CGI impact panels, and after a strong afternoon thunderstorm, we get calls about water blowing under the tracks. Not because the CGI doors are bad, but because the original weep holes are clogged with decades of sand and mulch from the neighborhood’s mature landscaping along NW 6th Street and the surrounding blocks. The retrofit doors sit in tracks that were never deep enough for our rain volume, and once those weep channels clog, water has nowhere to go but inside. If you own one of those older Plantation ranch homes, take a look at your slider track after the next downpour. If water pools at the corners and creeps under the door, the issue is drainage, not the door itself. We clear the weep system, reset the track height, and in some cases recommend opening up the drain channels. It’s a $200 repair that saves you from replacing a $2,800 door. That’s the kind of local knowledge that only comes from doing the work in Plantation, week after week.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We service the full range of CGI product lines found in Plantation homes. That includes the CGI Sentinel Series impact windows, the CGI Estate Collection sliding glass doors, CGI Custom Fixed and Picture windows, and the CGI 800 Series single-hung and horizontal roller windows. When a repair calls for parts, we use genuine CGI factory components when they’re available and the budget allows, especially for impact-rated laminated glass units and multi-point lock sets. For older or discontinued CGI lines, we source high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed the original specs. We’re also honest when a full frame replacement will outlast a string of rolling repairs. No one benefits from throwing parts at a window that’s past its service life, least of all the homeowner in Plantation who’ll be dealing with it again next storm season.
We also handle the maintenance side of things: track cleaning, weatherstripping replacement, hardware lubrication, and seal inspection. For homeowners considering new windows, our Window Replacement in Plantation team installs CGI single-hung impact windows and horizontal roller or sliding impact windows that meet current Florida Building Code requirements for wind-borne debris regions.

FAQs – CGI Windows & Doors in Plantation
In most Plantation homes, yes, you can replace just the rollers and weatherstripping. We pull the panel, inspect the track, swap the worn nylon rollers, install new weatherstripping, and reset the door. If the frame is sound and the glass is intact, that repair typically runs $220 to $420 and extends the door’s life by years. If the frame has corroded or the glass has fogged, we’ll tell you straight whether replacement makes more sense. Call (754) 354-3671 and we’ll assess your door.
The coil balances inside the window frame have lost tension, which is common on older CGI 800 Series windows in Plantation, where humidity and fine grit from landscaping accelerate wear. We replace the balance assemblies and clean the tracks, and the window stays put. It’s usually a $180 to $340 repair per window.
Yes. We install CGI Sentinel Series impact windows and CGI horizontal roller and sliding impact windows that meet Florida Building Code requirements for wind-borne debris regions, which includes Plantation. We pull the permit, and the installation passes inspection. You get a written price before we start, and the work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (754) 354-3671 to schedule a free estimate.
Once the insulated glass unit develops a foggy spot, the seal has failed, and there’s no repair that will clear the condensation. The good news is you don’t necessarily need a whole new frame. On most CGI fixed and picture windows, we can replace just the insulated glass unit, called an IG replacement, while keeping the existing frame. That typically costs $450 to $1,100 depending on the size and whether the glass is impact-rated laminated. Call (754) 354-3671 for a precise quote.
It comes down to the frame. If the aluminum or vinyl frame is still square, free of deep corrosion, and the opening is true, an insert replacement works fine and costs less. If the frame has corroded through, the opening has shifted, or there’s water damage in the surrounding wall, you need a full frame replacement, sometimes called a tear-out. In Plantation, where concrete block construction is the norm, we often see stuck fasteners and rusted anchors on 40-year-old frames, which pushes toward full replacement. We’ll show you the condition of your frame during the estimate so you can make the call with your eyes open. Call (754) 354-3671 for a free assessment.
