CGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Westchester: What to Know First

CGI custom and geometric windows in Westchester typically run $1,800 to $6,400 per opening depending on the shape, glass package, and whether the frame needs structural reinforcement for an oversized or arched span. Most custom CGI orders take 6 to 10 weeks from approved drawings to install day, and we handle the measuring, ordering, permitting, and installation from start to finish as an independent CGI service provider. You’ll get a written line-item quote before anything is ordered, and the price on that quote is the price you pay.

This page is for Westchester homeowners who already own CGI windows or are planning a custom-shaped CGI install, and who want straight answers about what breaks, what it costs, and who in Westchester actually knows how to do this work right. If your arched window is fogging, a radius unit won’t close cleanly, or you’re staring at an opening that no stock window will ever fit, call us at (850) 721-1218. Ed Winslow grew up right here in Westchester, near Tropical Park, and he’ll be the one walking your job with you.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a solid impact window, but custom and geometric shapes stress their components in ways standard rectangles never do. After years of working on CGI units across Westchester, here’s what we actually see in the field and what we do about it:

• Radius frame seal failure on CGI Estate Collection arched units. Westchester’s wet season pushes water against the arched top of these windows, and the curved glazing bead is usually the first place the factory weather seal lets go. We see water staining at the interior drywall before a single drop ever hits the floor. Our fix: remove the radius glazing bead, clean the channel, replace the seal with a marine-grade butyl tape cut to the exact curvature, and re-bed the glass so the arch sheds water the way it was designed to.
• Hardware binding on CGI Tribute Series casement and awning shapes. Non-square geometries put uneven load on the hinge and operator hardware. Over time, the multi-point lock bar on a trapezoid or circle-top Tribute unit drifts a few millimeters, and the handle starts fighting you. That’s not a cleaning issue. It’s the lock bar rollers wearing against the curved track. We realign the bar, replace the worn rollers, and adjust the keeper so the lock engages with one smooth turn. If the operator gear is stripped, we replace it with the OEM part or a heavier aftermarket gear that lasts longer than the factory original.
• Insulated glass seal failure on CGI Sentinel Series picture windows used in oversized gable assemblies. Large triangular and half-round Sentinels trap heat at the apex of the room. The thermal cycling in a Westchester summer causes the butyl edge seal to flex, and eventually argon leaks out and fog creeps in between the panes. Once the seal is compromised, no defogging trick fixes it. We order a replacement IGU built to the exact radius and glass package, install it under the manufacturer’s glazing spec, and keep your original frame in place so the warranty on the surrounding units stays intact.
• Geometric window hardware mismatch on CGI Estate and Tribute retrofit jobs. We regularly see Westchester homes where a previous installer cobbled together a round top over a square bottom using mixed hardware. The crank, cam, and keeper don’t align, and the window never seals on the top quadrant. We correct this by calling out each hardware point on a template, sourcing the correct gear and hinge set for the specific CGI series, and refitting the sash so the reveal is even all the way around the geometry.
• Track and roller degradation on CGI sliding geometric units in pool-facing rooms. Chlorine vapor and salt air are rough on the roller bearings inside a CGI sliding window with an arched top panel. Six to eight years in, the rollers flatten, and the panel starts dragging or jumping. We pull and inspect the carriage, replace the rollers with stainless-steel bearing assemblies, and clean and lube the track properly. The window glides like new and the geometry stays square.

Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Here’s exactly how a custom or geometric CGI job runs when you call Winslow Windows & Doors:

1. 1
   You call (850) 721-1218 and a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. You describe what’s happening, and we schedule a time to come out. No trip charge inside our home county.
2. 2
   We measure and diagnose. Ed Winslow himself templates every custom and geometric opening. That means mapping the exact radius, angle, and structural load before a single part is ordered. If we’re repairing an existing CGI unit, we diagnose the root cause and write it down in plain English.
3. 3
   You get a written line-item quote. We tell you the OEM part price, the quality aftermarket option when it makes sense, and the labor. You approve the number before anything gets ordered. No change orders. No surprises.
4. 4
   We order and build around your approval. Custom CGI units go through our ordering process with full shop drawings. Repairs use OEM components or aftermarket parts we’ve vetted over 15 years of installs. We won’t put a part in your window that we wouldn’t put in our own.
5. 5
   Install or repair day. Background-checked, uniformed techs arrive on time. The opening is protected, the old unit comes out clean, the new one goes in square and sealed. We clean up fully before we leave.
6. 6
   We test and we stand behind it. Every unit gets cycled, locked, and inspected. Then it falls under the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print, no phone tag, just Ed’s word on it.

Why Westchester Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We’ve been in business since 2011, locally owned and owner-operated by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number. Ed grew up near Tropical Park, learned his building science at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, and spent his childhood on his dad’s job sites. That’s not marketing fluff. It means when we template your arched window, we’re measuring for the house you actually live in, not a generic spec sheet.

As an independent CGI service provider, we’re not tied to a manufacturer playbook. We stock tools and templates for the full CGI lineup and we also work daily with PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters when a custom opening needs a brand-matched neighbor or a repair needs a part from a different line to perform better long-term. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and every job falls under the Done Right Promise. My name is on the truck. That means I stand behind every window and door we touch.
