CGI Impact Windows in Westchester: What to Know First

CGI impact windows in Westchester typically cost $1,400-$2,900 per window installed, depending on the series, size, and whether we’re replacing an existing unit or doing a full-home retrofit. As an independent CGI service provider, Winslow Windows & Doors handles repair, replacement, and new installation for CGI owners across Westchester, usually scheduling within a week and completing most single-window jobs in one day. We don’t mark up parts just because the name on them says CGI.

Call (850) 721-1218

This page is for Westchester homeowners who already own CGI windows or are considering them, and who want straight answers about failure modes, parts, warranties, and what this work actually costs in our market. If you have a CGI window that’s fogged, hard to open, or showing signs of seal failure, call (850) 721-1218 and Ed Winslow or a member of our team will walk you through what’s likely going on before we ever load a truck.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Every window brand fails differently. Here’s what we actually see on CGI jobs in Westchester homes, stripped of jargon:

• Sentinel series seal blowout on south-facing walls. Westchester sun is relentless, and the Sentinel line’s glass-to-frame seal on full-sun exposures tends to break down faster than on north walls. You’ll see fogging between the panes or a white haze that won’t wipe off. Our fix is a full glazing replacement using OEM-matched glass, not a reseal that fails again in two seasons.
• Estate series roller wear from salt air. Homes within a few miles of Biscayne Bay get invisible salt spray that corrodes the Estate series’ roller assemblies long before the glass gives out. The symptom is a sash that scrapes or sticks halfway. We replace the rollers with stainless-steel units rather than the original zinc-plated hardware CGI shipped with earlier models.
• Targa series screen track warping. The Targa’s aluminum screen channel is thinner than on CGI’s higher lines, and after a decade of Miami humidity and heat cycling, we regularly see the track twist just enough to make the screen impossible to slide. We straighten and reinforce the track in place, or replace the channel if it’s too far gone.
• Del Mar series impact rating compromise from aftermarket glass. We’ve inspected more than a few Westchester homes where a previous contractor swapped out broken Del Mar laminated glass for generic non-impact glass to save a few hundred dollars. From the street it looks fine. In a Cat 3 storm it’s a liability. We identify this during inspection and get the proper impact-rated glazing back in the frame.
• StormGuard hardware stripping on older builds. Early-2000s StormGuard models used a softer metal in the locking bolt threads. After years of locking and unlocking against hurricane season prep, the bolts strip. We rethread the receiver or install hardened replacement bolts so the storm bar actually seats when you need it to.

Our CGI Impact Windows Process

Here’s exactly what happens when a Westchester homeowner calls us about a CGI window problem:

1. 1
   Diagnostic call. You reach a live person at (850) 721-1218 right away. We ask what you’re seeing, which rooms it’s in, and what direction the wall faces. That last question often tells us more than the symptom does.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. Ed or one of our background-checked technicians arrives in uniform. We inspect the frame, the glazing, the hardware, and the seals, and we photograph everything so you can see what we see.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For glass, we use OEM-spec CGI impact glazing every time, because warranty and storm-rating compliance depend on it. For hardware like rollers, hinges, or locks, we’ll use OEM when the warranty is still active and quality aftermarket when it’s not, and we’ll tell you which is which and why.
4. 4
   Line-item quote. You get a written number with no vague allowances and no change-order games. Our price is our price.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement. We work one window at a time, protect the interior with drop cloths, and run the full adjustment and cycle test before we pack up.
6. 6
   The follow-through. Every job gets the 36,Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s Ed’s word, and Ed’s name is on the truck.

What CGI Impact Windows Costs in Westchester

Here’s the honest math based on what we’ve quoted across Westchester over the past few years:

• Single CGI window replacement (standard size, Sentinel series): $1,400-$2,200 installed
• Large or custom CGI window (Estate or Targa series, picture or geometric): $2,200-$3,400 installed
• Full retrofit on a 3-bedroom Westchester home (10-12 windows): $16,000-$28,000 depending on series and opening sizes
• Glass-only replacement for a blown seal (non-structural, impact-rated glazing): $450-$900 per pane

What moves the price: window size, which CGI series you’re matching, whether we’re doing glass-only or full-frame work, and whether your existing openings need any water-damage repair before the new unit goes in. Westchester’s older homes built before the 1990s sometimes have out-of-square openings that add labor hours. You can also use our $40 off any repair over $200 or the permanent 10% senior and veteran discount, and there’s no trip charge inside our home county.

Why Westchester Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work

Ed Winslow grew up in Westchester, a few minutes from Tropical Park, and has spent the better part of two decades measuring, installing, and standing behind windows and doors for his neighbors. When a Westchester homeowner calls us about a CGI window, they’re not getting a call center in another state. They get a live person who knows the difference between a Targa and a Del Mar, who’s been inside hundreds of Westchester homes, and who won’t upsell them into a full replacement when a $300 repair is the honest answer.

We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so when a repair doesn’t make financial sense, we can show you options, not pressure you into one. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. The warranty is the 36,Done Right Promise, and Ed Winslow’s name, published address, and license number are on everything we do. My name is on the truck. That means I stand behind every window and door we touch.
