1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.

Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

CGI Windows & Doors in Plantation, FL | Sightline Windows & Doors Plantation
Our Window Replacement in Plantation for CGI products typically runs $180-$450 for repairs and $650-$2,400 per opening for full-frame replacement, depending on whether the job triggers HVHZ code upgrades on older CBS ranch homes. We are an independent service provider - not manufacturer-authorized - which means we source genuine CGI OEM parts when available and specify HVHZ-approved alternatives when lead times or discontinued lines make OEM impractical. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your free measured survey; the written quote you receive is the same document we install from.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve measured and installed CGI frames across Plantation’s mid-century subdivisions since 2012, including a concentrated run of impact-window retrofits in Jacaranda that Sonia Raman still references when homeowners ask what our crew handles. That stretch taught us how CGI aluminum behaves after forty years in Broward’s salt-laden air - the anodized finish chalks, the frame pits, and the glazing seal lets humidity between the panes. We don’t guess; we measure frame wall thickness, check sill corrosion with a pick, and photograph every condition before proposing anything.
Our CGI sales & service draws from eight manufacturer lines, but our Plantation work centers on the models already in these homes: Sentinel impact windows, Estate entry doors, and the Series 7000 single hungs that replace prohibited jalousies. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. The measured survey stays in your hands, and the written price cannot change once stated. That’s Haven Clause 1, and it’s been non-negotiable since our founding.
Before
AfterCommon CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Corrosion pitting on CGI aluminum frames. Plantation sits 8-10 miles inland, but Atlantic salt air carries well enough to degrade anodized finishes on pre-1990 CGI installs. We find chalked, pitted sills especially on north and east exposures in Plantation Acres, where the original frames have simply exhausted their protective layer.
- Glazing seal failure and internal fogging. Older dual-pane CGI impact units lose their edge seals in Broward’s year-round humidity. The large west-facing picture windows and slider walls in Jacaranda collect the most solar load; the sealant cures hard, the desiccant saturates, and the view turns milky. Repair swaps the sash; replacement swaps the frame when the flange is compromised.
- Roller and track binding on CGI sliding doors. Screened lanais trap grit, pollen, and hurricane-season debris against the bottom track. After fifteen years, the roller carriage deforms and the panel won’t lift into the lock position. We stock OEM and HVHZ-approved replacement roller assemblies for fast turnaround.
- Jalousie windows in 1960s blocks that fail inspection. These appear in bathrooms and back bedrooms of the earliest CBS ranches - corroded aluminum louvers that were grandfathered in but are effectively prohibited under current HVHZ code. We replace them with CGI Series 7000 impact single hungs, permitted and inspected as part of the same job.
- Impact glass interlayer degradation. Early CGI impact units used PVB interlayers that can delaminate after decades of UV exposure. The glass looks intact but no longer meets HVHZ missile-impact standards. We test with a polarized light check and recommend full replacement when the interlayer shows spiderwebbing.
CGI Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Plantation’s building department requires every replacement window and door to carry Miami-Dade NOA approval for HVHZ compliance, and the city’s older-block inspection process routinely catches original jalousie windows that were grandfathered in but are effectively prohibited today. This means a CGI job that looks like a simple slider swap often triggers a permit-required jalousie removal on the same house. We’ve learned to survey every room, not just the openings the homeowner mentioned, because finding a prohibited jalousie mid-permit adds weeks and re-inspection fees. On a 1962 CBS ranch off Jacaranda’s NW 5th Street we measured the original CGI aluminum single-pane sliders and found one bathroom and a back bedroom still carrying factory jalousie windows with badly corroded frames. We install Impact Windows & Doors in Plantation to replace these non-compliant units. We pulled a Plantation permit for the full-frame replacement, installed HVHZ-rated CGI impact sliders and fixed picture windows, and swapped the jalousies for CGI Series 7000 impact single hungs. The homeowner passed city inspection on the first walk-through, and the neighbor two doors down signed up after seeing the crew’s work. That’s how referral-driven this market is - entire subdivisions cycle through first-time impact upgrades together, and one visible job on the block generates the next three calls.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We work with the full CGI residential line, with particular depth on the units already installed across Plantation’s housing stock:
- CGI Sentinel Impact Windows - HVHZ-rated, the standard replacement for original aluminum single-pane picture windows in 1970s-1980s ranches
- CGI Vinyl Impact Window line - energy-efficient alternative for homeowners prioritizing U-factor and SHGC performance over aluminum aesthetics
- CGI Estate Impact Entry Doors - full-frame replacement for corroded original entry systems, with HVHZ-approved hardware
- CGI Series 7000 Impact Single Hung - our specified replacement for prohibited jalousie windows in secondary rooms
We stock genuine CGI OEM replacement sashes, rollers, and seals locally for Plantation jobs. When OEM is out of production - some early aluminum frame profiles were discontinued after 2008 - we specify HVHZ-approved aftermarket hardware and glazing, documented in writing with Miami-Dade NOA numbers. If a CGI frame is corroded through the sill or the impact glass has lost its interlayer, we recommend full-frame replacement. Piecemeal repair on a failed unit wastes the permit fee and invites a re-inspection failure.

What drives cost: frame condition (corroded sills require more labor), whether the opening needs HVHZ code upgrade beyond size-for-size replacement, and whether prohibited jalousies trigger additional permitted work. Our free estimate includes the measured survey you keep, a written scope with line-item pricing, and a photo record of existing conditions. The proposal states a dollar figure; the installation notes go in writing before a single frame comes off the truck.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Plantation
Yes. Plantation’s building department requires a permit for every window and door replacement, and the installed product must be Miami-Dade NOA-approved for HVHZ. Same-size replacement does not exempt the permit. We pull permits as standard on every job and schedule inspections; the permit cost is line-itemed in your written quote. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your free estimate.
No. Jalousie windows are effectively prohibited under current HVHZ code and will fail a Plantation inspection. If we replace any window or door on the house under permit, the jalousies must be addressed to pass final inspection. We typically replace them with CGI Series 7000 impact single hungs as part of the same permitted scope. Call (754) 704-3597 and we’ll survey every room, not just the ones you asked about.
We check three things: frame wall thickness with a digital caliper, sill corrosion depth with a pick probe, and interlayer integrity with polarized light. If the frame pitting exceeds 1/32 inch or the interlayer shows spiderwebbing, repair is false economy - the unit won’t pass HVHZ inspection and the permit fee is wasted. We document every reading in the photo record you receive. Call (754) 704-3597 for a free assessment.
For the wide slider walls common in Jacaranda and Plantation Acres ranches, we specify CGI Sentinel sliding glass doors with stainless steel roller carriages rated for the debris load of screened lanais. The Estate line handles entry doors; Sentinel handles the big moving walls. We measure the rough opening to 1/16 inch and specify the roller capacity in writing. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your measured survey.
CGI does not sell direct to homeowners in South Florida; product moves through the dealer and installer channel. We are an independent installer - not manufacturer-authorized - which means we can source across multiple supplier relationships and specify the best available option for your opening and timeline. The price is written before work starts, and the documentation is yours to keep. Call (754) 704-3597 for your free estimate.
