AfterCGI Windows & Doors in Westchester, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, an independent CGI service provider serving Westchester and surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods. We repair, replace, and install Impact Windows in Westchester and doors, and we know exactly what Westchester’s HVHZ code enforcement demands before the inspector ever shows up. The short version: if your CGI product carries a valid Miami-Dade NOA and the frame is still square, we fix it right. If the label is gone or the frame is pitted through, we tell you honestly and handle the replacement. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free estimate.
Why Westchester Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Ed Winslow grew up in Westchester, a few minutes from Tropical Park, and he never really left. He learned building science at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, then spent nearly two decades measuring, installing, and standing behind windows and doors for Westchester homeowners. That background matters when you’re dealing with CGI products in a hurricane zone.
We service enough CGI windows and doors across Westchester to know which NOA-approved assemblies hold up under HVHZ wind loads and which need early intervention. We’re independent, not manufacturer-affiliated, which means we work for you, not for a warranty department. We stock common OEM-compatible replacement parts locally so a roller swap or balance replacement doesn’t leave you waiting on a factory shipment from out of state. And every tech who pulls up in a Winslow truck is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before you open it.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Westchester
Here’s what we actually see on CGI products in this neighborhood:
- Roller assemblies on CGI 9500 Series sliding doors bind or drop. Westchester sits roughly 10 miles from Biscayne Bay, and the mild salt-laden air pits the aluminum track over time. The glass may still be perfectly impact-rated, but the door feels like it weighs 300 pounds. We replace the rollers, clean and smooth the track, and get the door gliding again.
- CGI Estate Collection single-hung balances lose tension. Westchester’s year-round humidity above 70% works its way into the balance springs and channels. Homeowners call us because a sash drifts shut on its own or refuses to stay open more than halfway. It’s a balance replacement, not a window replacement, in most cases.
- Exterior gaskets on CGI Sentinel Series windows harden and crack. Intense South Florida UV breaks down the gasket material long before the impact rating is compromised. The air seal fails first, and suddenly you feel drafts or hear road noise from SW 8th Street. We replace the gaskets and restore the seal.
- Weep hole covers on CGI Classic Series awning windows clog with stucco dust. Westchester’s 1950s-1970s CBS homes are constantly shedding fine stucco particles, especially during renovations. Those particles pack into the weep hole covers and trap rainwater inside the frame. We clear the drains and replace the covers so the window sheds water the way it was designed to.
- Original 1990s CGI windows with missing NOA labels. This is the big one in Westchester. If the glazing label is gone or illegible, the county inspector won’t pass the job, period. We walk homeowners through the replacement process when the label is unrecoverable, because a repair won’t fix a compliance problem.
CGI Service in Westchester: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Contractors working Westchester know something that out-of-county crews learn the hard way: pulling a permit on any window job automatically triggers the Miami-Dade HVHZ compliance cascade. The product must have a current NOA on file with the county. The installer must be a registered Miami-Dade contractor with proper Westchester Window Installation credentials. And the inspector will physically verify that the glazing labels match the approved NOA number before signing off. That process weeds out crews who show up with products that passed Florida statewide approval but lack the stricter Miami-Dade stamp.
What this means for CGI owners in Westchester is practical. When we repair your 9500 Series sliding door off Bird Road, we’re not just swapping parts. We’re making sure the glass still carries a current NOA label, the frame is square, and the finished job will pass a county inspection if one is ever pulled. A roller replacement done wrong by a handyman without Miami-Dade credentials can turn into a failed inspection and a bigger bill later. We handle it the way the code actually requires.
On a 1962 CBS ranch off SW 8th Street near Tropical Park, our crew swapped three original jalousie windows for CGI Sentinel Series single-hung impact units. The aluminum frames had pitted so badly from decades of salt-laden air that the mounting flanges crumbled during removal, so we rebuilt the rough openings with pressure-treated buck framing before setting the new NOA-labeled sashes. The inspector signed off on the glazing labels first pass, and the homeowner now has working sashes that actually seal out the humidity.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Westchester
We work on the full CGI lineup you’ll find across Westchester homes:
- CGI Sentinel Series - impact single-hung, double-hung, and picture windows
- CGI Estate Collection - single-hung and picture windows, common on 1950s-1970s CBS homes
- CGI 9500 Series - horizontal roller and sliding glass doors, heavily used on patio and pool access points
- CGI Classic Series - casement and awning windows, frequent on ranch-style homes
We source OEM CGI replacement parts when lead time allows. For discontinued hardware or slow factory delivery, we use high-quality aftermarket equivalents that meet Miami-Dade NOA specs, so your repair isn’t hostage to a supply chain. We repair only when the frame is square and the glass still carries a current NOA label. If the glazing label is missing or the frame is pitted through, replacement is the honest call, and we’ll tell you that before any money changes hands.
CGI Service Pricing in Westchester
Our pricing is straightforward because our estimating is straightforward. For a typical CGI roller assembly replacement on a 9500 Series sliding door, you’re looking at $180-$340. Balance replacement on an Estate Collection single-hung runs $150-$300 per sash. Gasket replacement on Sentinel Series windows is $120-$280 depending on the number of units. Full impact window replacement ranges widely based on size, model, and rough opening condition, and that’s exactly why we quote it in writing before any work begins.
What drives the cost in Westchester specifically: the rough opening condition on 60-year-old CBS homes, whether we need to rebuild buck framing around pitted aluminum flanges, and whether the existing glass still carries a valid NOA label. Your free estimate includes a full inspection, an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation, and a written line-item quote. No change orders, no vague “we’ll see what we find” language. Ed’s name is on the truck, and that means the number we give you is the number you pay. Call (850) 721-1218 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Westchester
No. Florida statewide product approval is not the same as a Miami-Dade NOA. Westchester sits entirely within the HVHZ, and the county requires a current Notice of Acceptance on file for the specific product and assembly. An inspector will check the glazing label against the approved NOA number, and if they don’t match, the job fails. We only install CGI products with valid Miami-Dade NOAs. Call (850) 721-1218 if you’re unsure about your current windows.
They might, but only if the NOA label is still legible on the glass and the frame is structurally intact. The 1990s-era CGI windows were built to older code cycles, and some models were tested to standards that have since been revised. A visual inspection won’t be enough. We can check the label, verify the NOA with the county, and tell you definitively whether your windows will pass an inspection or whether replacement is the safer and more compliant path. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free assessment.
Yes, a roller assembly replacement is a maintenance repair, not a structural installation, so no permit is required. The glass stays in place, the frame stays in place, and we swap the hardware. That said, if the track is pitted through from years of salt-laden air, the repair may not hold, and then you’re looking at a door replacement, which does require a permit. We’ll tell you which scenario you’re in before we quote anything.
Not as a direct swap. Jalousie windows sit in rough openings sized for louvered glass, not modern impact units. The opening typically has to be reframed and resized, which is exactly what we did on a 1962 CBS ranch off SW 8th Street near Tropical Park. It’s more work than an insert replacement, but the result is a properly sealed, code-compliant impact window. We handle the framing, the permit, and the inspection. Call (850) 721-1218 for an exact quote.
Insert replacements are allowed when the existing frame is square, structurally sound, and still anchored properly to the CBS block. If the frame is square and in good shape, we can set an insert without tearing out stucco. If the frame is pitted, corroded, or failing, a full frame replacement is the only honest option. We’ll pull the old window, check the opening, and tell you which path applies to your house before any work starts.
