CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
CGI windows and doors service in Hollywood comes down to one fact most contractors skip: every unit in this city sits inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the parts, the install method, and the paperwork all have to match a stricter code than anywhere else in Broward. TruePane handles independent CGI repair, Hollywood Window Installation for replacements, and full-frame retrofits across Hollywood, from Hollywood Hills to the Beach corridor. We are not a CGI dealer and we are not manufacturer-affiliated. We are the crew that fixes CGI units properly, with OEM parts where impact integrity matters and marine-grade hardware where salt air eats the cheap stuff. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free estimate, and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most window companies in South Florida can sell a CGI 1500 Series single hung. Few can tell you why the rollers on a 3500 Series horizontal slider bind faster in a Hollywood condo three blocks off the Broadwalk than they do in a Pembroke Pines house twenty miles inland. We can, because we have spent years working on CGI product inside Hollywood’s specific housing stock, and that stock is unforgiving. Dale Kessler grew up in his father’s glass shop in Columbus, Ohio, measuring rough openings and cutting lites before he could drive, and he trained through Columbus State’s building trades program before spending two decades putting frames in one at a time. That background is why he reads a structure’s existing framing before quoting a job. For Hollywood homeowners, that habit means we catch the drainage problems, the corroded sills, and the missing NOA stickers before they become a failed inspection or a leaking wall. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We also stock OEM CGI parts for critical impact and glazing components, and our techs carry marine-grade stainless hardware for the corrosion failures Hollywood’s salt air causes. You get a straight answer on repair versus replace, not a sales pitch. Our CGI sales & service work is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Salt-air corrosion pitting on aluminum frames within a mile of Hollywood Beach. East-facing elevations get the worst of it. The pitting causes stuck sashes and failing weatherstripping on CGI units that are otherwise structurally sound. We strip the corroded hardware, replace it with marine-grade stainless or coated equivalents, and re-seat the sash so it operates clean again.
- Dry rot and seal failure at the sill of CGI 1500 Series single hung units in 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes. This shows up constantly in Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills, where original jalousie-to-fixed replacement installs were done without updating drainage. Water sits at the sill, the seal fails, and rot follows. We pull the unit, correct the rough opening drainage, and reinstall with proper flashing before resealing.
- Roller assemblies and track deformation on CGI 3500 Series horizontal sliders in Hollywood condo buildings. Constant humidity plus salt grit grinding into the bottom track wears rollers fast and warps the track over time. Hollywood’s older mid-rise condos see this every few years. We replace rollers with high-grade aftermarket assemblies that exceed OEM specs for coastal conditions and realign the track if it has not deformed past repair.
- Missing or illegible NOA stickers on used CGI units. This is common in Hollywood, where online auctions and salvage yards move impact windows without paperwork. If the unit cannot be traced to a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, it is a code violation in Hollywood. We verify serial numbers against the county product control database before quoting any work, so you do not pay for a repair that still fails inspection.
- Failed weatherstripping from constant UV and salt exposure. Hollywood’s sun and salt shorten the life of even quality weatherstripping. When it goes, air and water intrusion follow. We replace it with materials rated for coastal exposure rather than the generic stuff that dries out again in a year.
CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation shared only with Miami-Dade County. That is not a paperwork footnote. It means every replacement window and door in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard dramatically stricter than what is required just north in Palm Beach County. The practical result for CGI owners is this: a used CGI 1500 Series unit bought from an auction in Orlando may be a perfectly good window by general Florida code, and still be illegal to install in a Hollywood house because it lacks a valid NOA. We see this regularly in Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills, where 1950s and 1960s CBS homes still hold original jalousie louvered windows, and where Citizens Property Insurance wind-mitigation inspections routinely flag those jalousies as non-compliant. Homeowners facing premium hikes or policy non-renewal sometimes buy impact units cheap and assume the job is done. It is not. If the NOA sticker is gone or the serial does not verify, that unit has to come out. Our techs confirm NOA status before touching a frame, because installing a non-compliant unit in Hollywood creates a liability the homeowner may not discover until a claim is denied. Measure twice, spec it right, and put it in writing, the frame does not forgive shortcuts.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the full range of CGI impact products, with the deepest experience in the models Hollywood’s housing stock actually uses. That includes the CGI 1500 Series Single Hung Impact Windows, the workhorse in thousands of single-family homes here. We also handle the CGI 3500 Series Horizontal Roller Impact Windows, a common sight in the condo buildings along the Beach corridor, plus the CGI Estate Collection Casement and Awning Windows and the CGI Estate Collection Sliding Glass Doors. Our parts approach is specific: we use OEM CGI parts for critical impact and glazing components, because that is what the NOA and the warranty require. For hardware like rollers, balances, and weatherstripping, we source high-quality aftermarket equivalents that match or exceed OEM specs, and in Hollywood’s salt-air environment that often means upgrading to higher-grade stainless or marine-coated options. Our Hollywood service area coverage means we keep common CGI hardware on our trucks, so most repairs happen in one visit rather than two.
CGI Service Pricing in Hollywood
CGI service pricing in Hollywood depends on what the unit needs, and we quote it in writing before any work starts. Here is what you can expect:
- Weatherstripping replacement: $90-$180 per window, depending on size and condition.
- Roller assembly replacement on CGI 3500 Series sliders: $120-$220 per panel, including track cleaning and realignment.

What drives the cost in Hollywood is whether the frame is salvageable and whether the unit still carries a verifiable NOA. We do not quote a repair on a unit that should be replaced, and we do not recommend replacement when a repair will hold. Your free estimate includes the inspection, the NOA check, and a written line-item quote. We also offer $50 off any repair over $250, an $89 seasonal tune-up, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (754) 310-3589 and we will put the numbers on paper before anything else happens.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes, we can repair it, but first we verify the unit’s NOA status through the serial number against Miami-Dade County’s product control database. If the serial verifies and the unit is structurally sound, we proceed with the repair. If it does not verify, the unit cannot legally remain installed in Hollywood, and we will tell you that before quoting any work. Call (754) 310-3589 and we will run the check as part of your free estimate.
In Hollywood, you cannot simply add impact glass to existing non-impact frames and meet HVHZ code. The entire assembly, frame and glass together, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That means full replacement with Impact Windows in Hollywood using NOA-approved CGI units when the existing frames are not impact-rated. We handle both the replacement and the association documentation you will need.
Two reasons: Hollywood’s proximity to the Atlantic means higher salt content in the air, and salt grit grinds into the bottom track of horizontal rollers. Fort Lauderdale gets salt air too, but Hollywood’s east-facing elevations within a mile of the Broadwalk take a heavier load. We replace the rollers and clean the track with materials rated for coastal exposure, which helps more than a standard rebuild.
Yes. Florida’s post-Surfside inspection and reserve-funding mandates have pushed a lot of Hollywood condo buildings into large-scale window and door replacement, and we have done full CGI replacements on buildings that had not been upgraded since original construction. We coordinate with building management on access, staging, and documentation, and we pull permits where required.
No, mixing impact CGI units with original jalousies is not code-compliant in Hollywood as an HVHZ jurisdiction, and it will still fail a Citizens wind-mitigation inspection. The jalousies have to come out. We do full tear-outs of jalousie systems and install NOA-current CGI 1500 Series single hung units in their place. It is the single most common job we do in Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills.
