AfterCGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Boca Raton: What to Know First
CGI custom and geometric windows in Boca Raton can be serviced, resealed, and rebuilt by an independent installer without voiding the original manufacturer’s warranty. As an independent CGI service provider, TruePane Windows & Doors handles arched, radius, trapezoid, octagon, and oversized CGI units, with most evaluations completed in one visit and a written line-item estimate in hand before we leave the driveway. A typical custom or geometric CGI repair in this market runs between $425 and $1,850 depending on glass type, frame condition, and whether the unit needs an OEM sash or custom glass fabrication.
If you own a CGI window in a shape that was special-ordered twenty years ago and you’re not sure who to call, you’ve found the right people. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Seal failure around the radius on CGI Estate Collection picture windows. The curved glass on fixed geometric units gets a flexible spacer that, over years of Boca Raton humidity and sun, separates from the glass at the tightest part of the arc. You’ll see fog between the panes that never clears. We replace the insulated glass unit with a new custom-bent IG that matches the original radius exactly, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave.
- Frame racking on CGI Sentinel casement units set into arched rough openings. When the original installer forced a standard frame into a curved opening, the corners carry stress they were never designed for. This shows up as a sash that binds at the top and won’t close square. We pull the unit, true the rough opening, reset the frame with proper shim points, and test the operation at four points before calling it done.
- Aluminum oxidation at the mullion joints of oversized CGI fixed lites. Salt air in Boca Raton, especially east of Federal Highway, works on exposed aluminum where two geometric windows join. You’ll see white powder or pitting where the metal should be smooth. We clean, neutralize, and reseal those joints with a marine-grade sealant, and we’ll tell you honestly if the extrusion is too far gone to save.
- Failed balance hardware on CGI 7800 Series double-hung windows with radius tops. The radius top adds weight to the sash, which wears the factory balance cartridge faster than a standard rectangular sash. The symptom is a window that slams shut from mid-position or won’t hold open. We replace the balance with an OEM or equivalent aftermarket cartridge rated for the heavier sash, and we do both sashes on the same visit so you don’t get a second call in six months.
- Leaking at the sill pan on CGI fixed trapezoids and pentagons. Geometric windows get more silicone squeezed into odd angles at the factory, and that silicone ages unevenly under direct Florida sun. Water finds the path of least resistance at the lowest corner. We remove the old sealant, inspect the sill pan, replace it if it’s cracked, and recaulk with a sealant that holds up to constant UV exposure.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. A live voice at (561) 264-1337 takes your details, not a voicemail tree. We ask the questions that matter: what shape the window is, when it was installed, what the failure looks like, and whether water or air is getting through.
- 2
We diagnose on site. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes out, measures the opening twice, and takes photos of the glass, the frame, the hardware, and the surrounding wall. We determine whether the unit needs a sash rebuild, a glass replacement, or full frame service.
- 3
We lay out your options on paper. OEM CGI parts versus quality aftermarket, repair versus replace, line-item prices on both. No surprise line items, no verbal ballpark that changes later. You see exactly what you’re buying and why.
- 4
We do the work right. If a curved IG needs to be ordered, we fabricate it to the original radius and set it with the correct setting blocks and sealants. If the frame is salvageable, we true it, shim it, and square it before the glass goes in.
- 5
We test before we leave. Water test, air test, operation test. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
- 6
We back it in writing. The Done Right Promise and both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Boca Raton
Here’s what we see across Boca Raton, from Boca Teeca to Mizner Park to homes along Camino Gardens:
- Fogged sealed unit replacement on a radius or arch top: $425-$950 per unit, depending on glass size and whether it needs low-E or impact-rated laminated glass.
- Frame truing and reset on a racked geometric unit: $350-$700, including new shim points, sealant, and operation testing.
- Balance hardware replacement on a radius-top double-hung: $180-$340 per sash, both sashes recommended.
- Full frame replacement for an oversized or severely corroded CGI unit: $1,200-$2,400 per opening, including new flashing, sill pan, and trim.
- Complete custom fabrication for a non-standard shape: $1,500-$4,800, priced on glass type, frame material, and whether the opening requires structural reinforcement.
What moves the price is glass type, frame condition, and access. A second-story arched window that needs ladder work costs more than a ground-floor unit. We’ll give you the exact number before any work starts. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Dale Kessler grew up in Boca Teeca, where his father spent weekends replacing jalousie windows in every house on the block and never once called it a hobby. That’s the standard we work to. When a Boca Raton homeowner calls about a CGI radius window that’s fogged or a mullion that’s corroding, they get a technician who knows the product line, knows the failure mode, and knows what salt air does to aluminum after fifteen summers. We handle CGI as independent installers, and we also service PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if a replacement makes more sense than a repair, we can quote those lines side by side on paper. The Done Right Promise covers every job, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’ve been serving this community since 2008, and we plan to be here in thirty more.
FAQs
No. As independent service providers, we perform repairs and replacements that maintain the original manufacturer’s warranty coverage. We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway, and we document every part we install.
Yes. We measure the arc at multiple points and have custom bent glass fabricated to the original radius. The new insulated glass unit fits the existing frame without forcing or shimming, which is the difference between a repair that holds and one that fails in a season. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll measure it properly.
Most balance and sealant repairs are completed in a single visit. Curved glass replacement typically takes 10 to 14 business days from measurement to installation because the IG is fabricated to your exact radius. We’ll give you a written timeline before we start.
If the frame is square and the glass is the only problem, repair almost always costs less than replacement. If the frame is corroded, racked, or the seal has failed twice, we’ll tell you honestly and quote replacement options. We never push a replacement when a repair will hold. Call (561) 264-1337 for a straight answer with no pressure.
Yes. When a job requires a permit, we pull it, pass the inspection, and close it out. That’s part of the square deal, and you’ll see it on the estimate before work begins.
