CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors

We service and repair CGI impact windows and doors across Hollywood, FL, and the one thing that sets our work apart down here is the code reality: every replacement unit in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval. That single requirement shapes which CGI series we can install, how we repair existing units, and what paperwork your job needs before it passes inspection. TruePane is an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer dealer. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate on Hollywood Window Installation or repair anywhere in Hollywood.

Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

Our crew works on CGI’s full impact-rated catalog every week across Hollywood’s coastal and inland neighborhoods. That matters because CGI is not one window with different sizes. It is four distinct product families with different frames, different hardware, and different failure points in salt air. We know which Sentinel casement operators seize first on ocean-facing elevations. We know which Regard slider tracks clog with windblown sand on beachfront condos. And we know the HVHZ paperwork path for each series because we pull it every month.

Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie frames against the Atlantic. After high school he studied building construction technology at Broward College, where he learned to read a rough opening before he ever drove a company truck. He has been measuring, setting, and troubleshooting windows and doors in South Broward for going on three decades. When we quote a CGI repair in Hollywood, we quote it from experience on this exact housing stock and this exact code environment.

We are an independent service provider. That means we are not tied to a CGI dealer’s sales targets, and we will tell you when a repair makes more sense than a replacement. It also means we source genuine CGI hardware rather than whatever aftermarket part fits close enough. If you want the work done right the first time, call us at (863) 334-2933. We cover the full Hollywood service area, from Highland Gardens to Hollywood Lakes.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood

• Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frame finishes. Ocean-facing CGI units along Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal take direct salt-laden air. We regularly see pitting at sill corners and around weep holes, with the finish peeling years before the glass or seals fail. The fix depends on how deep the corrosion runs. Surface pitting can be cleaned, treated, and resealed. Deep frame corrosion usually means a full-frame replacement with a current CGI approved product.
• Weep-hole blockage in impact slider tracks. Windblown sand and salt silt clog the weep holes on CGI Regard impact sliders in beachfront condos. Water pools in the track, the rollers sit in standing salt water, and eventually the track corrodes or the rollers fail. We clear the weep holes, replace the rollers with genuine CGI parts, and add anti-corrosion weatherstripping so the problem does not come back in six months.
• Silicone glazing bead shrinkage and seal failure. Direct Atlantic sun breaks down the glazing bead on CGI fixed and casement units faster than the manufacturer’s standard warranty anticipates. When the bead shrinks, air and moisture get between the panes and you get the interior condensation that never wipes off. We replace the glass unit and the glazing with materials rated for the UV load a Hollywood Beach elevation actually gets.
• Stiff operating hardware on older CGI casement and awning units. Original lubricants harden over time, and the stainless hinges collect corrosion from the constant salt spray. On a mid-rise condo off South Ocean Drive, our tech found a CGI Sentinel impact casement operator seized solid from years of ocean exposure. We removed the sash, installed a new OEM stainless hinge kit, and realigned the multi-point lock so the unit closed flush again. No full window replacement needed.
• Roller failure in CGI Regard impact sliders. The factory rollers on these heavy impact sliders wear unevenly when the track is not kept clean. In Hollywood Beach condos where the building does not maintain the tracks, rollers fail years ahead of schedule. We stock genuine CGI roller assemblies and can swap them same-day in most cases, which matters because a slider that binds is a slider that will not lock properly when the next storm comes.

CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Hollywood’s entire city limits sit inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every replacement CGI window or door in this city, whether it is going into a 1957 CBS ranch in Hollywood Hills or a sixteenth-floor condo on A1A, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval. That requirement does not apply fifteen miles north in Palm Beach County. A window that is perfectly legal in West Palm Beach cannot be legally installed in Hollywood. This is not a technicality. The product approval number ties the specific CGI series, size, and elevation to a tested pressure rating. If the unit on your wall does not match the paperwork, the inspector will fail it, and your insurance company will use that failure to deny a wind claim later.

Layered on top of that is Florida’s post-Surfside condo law, SB 4-D. Hollywood’s aging beachfront mid-rises are now hitting mandatory milestone inspections, and many boards are responding with building-wide impact window replacement programs. That means uniform CGI product specifications across every unit, architectural review, county permitting, and a paper trail that has to be perfect before the building gets its HVHZ sign-off. We have been through this process enough times to know which CGI series meet the most common condo-board specs without triggering a variance hearing. Measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.

CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood

We work on all four current CGI families. The Sentinel Series covers impact casement and fixed windows. The Estate Collection includes single-hung and sliding windows. The Regard Series is CGI’s impact sliding glass door line. The Clásica Series covers impact French and entry doors. Our parts approach is straightforward: when the sash or frame is sound, we source genuine CGI replacement hardware, including hinges, rollers, locking systems, weatherstripping, and impact glass units. Aftermarket components rarely match CGI’s exact geometry or pressure-rating requirements under HVHZ, and a door that does not seat flush is a door that will not pass inspection. For severely corroded frames, out-of-production models, or code-driven upgrades, we recommend full-frame replacement with a current CGI approved product rather than patching parts that will fail again in the salt environment. We keep common CGI hardware stocked locally for fast Hollywood turnaround. For more detail on the brand itself, see our CGI sales & service page.
