We provide independent CGI custom windows & doors service in Port St. Lucie, from custom shape windows and oversized glass panels to architectural grilles, SDLs, and full commercial storefront glazing. Most CGI window and door work runs between $275 and $1,400 depending on glass size, frame condition, and whether we’re repairing or replacing the unit. Call (772) 362-3326 and you’ll get a live person who can talk through what you’re seeing and book a free estimate.
This page is written for CGI owners in Port St. Lucie who need someone who actually knows the product. If you’ve got a CGI window that’s fogged, a custom shape that’s leaking, or a door that binds in the humidity, we’ll explain what’s happening and what it costs to fix. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory warranty center, and we’ll never pretend otherwise.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Fogging and seal failure on CGI Estate Collection picture windows. Port St. Lucie’s heat and humidity push insulated glass units hard, and we see more seal failures on large fixed glass than on any other CGI line. The glass sashes hold up, but the seal between the panes eventually gives out. We replace the IGU with a matching Low-E unit and re-glaze the sash in place. You keep the original frame; you lose the fog.
- Roller and track wear on CGI sliding glass doors. The CGI 8000 and 9000 series patio doors are heavy, and once a roller set starts to flatten, the door drags and the track chews itself up. We replace rollers with OEM or quality aftermarket sets, depending on age and availability, and re-align the panel so it rides square. A door that slides with two fingers after we leave is the standard.
- Custom shape windows pulling away at the corners. We regularly see trapezoids, radius tops, and half-rounds on Port St. Lucie stucco homes where the original install relied on caulk instead of a proper flange and flashing. Over ten or fifteen years, that caulk shrinks and the corner opens up just enough for water to get behind the frame. We pull the unit, reset it with new flashing and a proper seal, and re-caulk with a commercial-grade sealant rated for Florida UV.
- Architectural grilles and SDLs rattling or loosening. CGI’s simulated divided lites look sharp, but the interior grille clips on some earlier series were plastic and they fatigue in the heat. The grille drops or rattles, which makes the whole window feel cheap. We can re-secure interior grilles or replace the SDL bar assembly where it’s failed, and we’ll match the spacing and profile so it looks like the factory did it.
- Oversized glass panel stress cracks at the frame edge. On CGI curtain wall and commercial storefront jobs around St. Lucie West, we’ve seen edge cracks that trace back to improper setting blocks or glass that was shimmed too tight against the frame. Glass expands in Florida heat. If there’s no room to move, it cracks. We cut new tempered or laminated panels, set them on the right blocks, and leave clearance for thermal movement.
One thing worth knowing: CGI warranties cover manufacturing defects, but they don’t cover installation-related failures, and they don’t cover normal wear on moving parts after the original term. That’s where we come in. We fix it the way it should have been set in the first place.
Our CGI Custom Windows & Doors Process
- 1
Call (772) 362-3326 and tell us what you’re seeing. A live person answers, not a voicemail tree. We’ll ask about the window or door type, when it was installed, and what’s failing. We’ll book a time that works and show up on schedule.
- 2
We measure every opening twice. This is the rule Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard: measure twice, order once. Nothing on a CGI custom unit is forgiving, so we verify dimensions before anything gets ordered.
- 3
We diagnose and quote on paper. We’ll tell you what failed, why it failed, and what it costs to fix. If you need a replacement unit, we’ll quote the OEM line and a comparable alternative side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying.
- 4
We do the work. For glass replacement, that means removing the old IGU, cleaning the glazing channel, setting the new unit on fresh setting blocks, and sealing it correctly. For doors, it’s rollers, tracks, alignment, and re-weatherstripping as needed.
- 5
We test before we leave. The window opens and closes right. The door glides without dragging. The seal is straight and full. If it’s not done right, we fix it before the truck pulls away. The Done Right Promise covers everything after that, in writing.
- 6
Cleanup and a straight invoice. No surprise line items, no change orders after the fact. The price we quoted is the price you pay.

Why Port St. Lucie Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been serving St. Lucie County since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 around a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway under The Keystone Standard, and every job carries our Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they know CGI well enough to tell you when a repair makes sense and when it doesn’t. We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, so if a CGI unit isn’t the answer, we can also quote, or PGT side by side. Port St. Lucie homeowners call us because we show up on time, quote straight, and stand behind the work like we plan to be here in thirty years. We do.
FAQs
Do you honor CGI manufacturer warranties?
CGI manufacturer warranties cover factory defects and are handled through CGI’s warranty process. As an independent CGI service provider, we can help you identify whether your issue is a defect or an installation or wear problem, and we’ll be straight with you about which it is. For work we perform, we register both warranty layers in writing and back everything with our Done Right Promise. Call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll help you figure out what applies.
How fast can you get parts for a custom CGI window?
Most common CGI parts and insulated glass units run one to three weeks from order to install, depending on glass size and whether it’s a standard or custom configuration. We measure every opening twice before ordering, so the unit fits the first time. If you need an exact timeline, call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll tell you what we’re seeing on lead times right now.
Do you repair or replace a failed CGI unit?
It depends on what failed and whether the frame is still sound. A fogged IGU on an otherwise solid CGI Estate Collection frame is usually a repair: we replace the glass unit and keep your original frame. A rotted or cracked frame, or a door with a twisted panel, often makes more sense as a replacement. We’ll quote both options on paper so you can decide with the numbers in front of you. Estimates are free.
Can you match CGI custom shapes and grille patterns?
Yes. We handle trapezoids, radius tops, half-rounds, and oversized openings, and we match architectural grille profiles and SDL spacing to the existing units. The goal is that a repaired window looks like it came from the factory line. Call (772) 362-3326 for a free estimate and we’ll measure and confirm before anything gets ordered.
Will the price change once work starts?
No. The price we quote before the job is the price you pay when it’s done. If we open up a wall and find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you before doing anything else. No surprise line items on the bill, no second appointment left hanging. That’s the square deal we’ve run on since the day we opened.
