Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’re not a national chain with a rotating cast of subcontractors. We’re a locally owned Hollywood-area company, and Ed Winslow has spent the better part of three decades installing and replacing windows and doors across Miami-Dade and Broward. He learned the trade hands-on at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, where he picked up the building science fundamentals that still shape how we approach every job today. That matters here, because Hollywood’s HVHZ requirements are stricter than what most of Florida deals with. A window that leaks air or water in this climate isn’t just an annoyance, it’s a liability. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we recommend what’s actually right for your building, not what a factory rep wants to push. We use genuine CGI hardware and glazing whenever available, and for discontinued models we source Miami-Dade NOA-approved aftermarket components that meet or exceed original specs.
Every technician who shows up at your Hollywood door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know who’s on your property before the truck pulls up. And the Done Right Promise backs every repair and replacement we do: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s the whole point of CGI sales & service done the Winslow way.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
Here’s what we see most often when we’re called out to CGI-equipped homes and condos across Hollywood:
- Seized sliding door rollers from salt corrosion. The Atlantic salt spray hitting Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal-facing units corrodes aluminum sill tracks on CGI sliding glass doors far faster than properties a few miles west near I-95. Rollers seize, doors jam shut, and in older towers those tracks sometimes corrode completely through. We replace rollers, rebuild tracks where possible, and swap in stainless hardware.
- Stripped casement window operators in mid-century ranch homes. Original CGI casement operators in homes near the Intracoastal strip out from constant humidity. Windows end up stuck open or stuck closed, and in hurricane season, stuck open is a code violation waiting to happen. We keep common operator replacements on hand for faster Hollywood turnaround.
- Fogged insulated glass units in older CGI Estate Collection double-hungs. UV exposure and salt air break down glazing seals on aging beachfront condos. You get fog between the panes, which means the thermal barrier is gone and the view is ruined. We reglaze with NOA-compliant units.
- Worn weatherstripping and lock misalignment on CGI Targa Series sliders. Decades of storm cycling take a toll. When weatherstripping fails or locks drift out of alignment, an impact-rated door loses its HVHZ-rated performance. That’s a safety issue, not just a draft. We restore the seal and the lock geometry.
- Discontinued CGI model hardware failures. Some older CGI lines are no longer manufactured. When a lock, handle, or operator fails on those, we source Miami-Dade NOA-approved aftermarket components that meet or exceed original specs, so you’re not forced into a full replacement just because a $40 part broke.
CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood’s barrier island and Intracoastal condo corridors are under Broward County’s HVHZ rule, which means every CGI replacement must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, not just the statewide Florida Product Approval that contractors in nearby Fort Lauderdale or Dania Beach often assume applies. That single distinction catches out-of-area crews off guard every single week. We were on a 1970s condo on the A1A strip recently after the building’s milestone inspection flagged a dozen seized CGI sliders. The original aluminum tracks had corroded so badly from decades of salt spray that the frames couldn’t be freed. We angle-grinded out the entire rough opening, poured new concrete sills, and set Miami-Dade NOA-approved CGI Estate Collection sliders with stainless hardware. The HOA passed their next inspection without a single deficiency. Most contractors servicing Hollywood Beach condo associations don’t expect that level of structural prep. We do, because we’ve done it more times than we can count.
We only recommend full replacement when corrosion or frame damage compromises the structural integrity required by Broward’s HVHZ code. If a repair will genuinely hold up, that’s what we’ll tell you.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the full CGI lineup that shows up in Hollywood homes and condos, including the CGI Estate Collection, CGI Sentinel Series, CGI Classic-Clad Series, and CGI Targa Series. Each line has its own common failure points, and after years of working on these units in Hollywood’s salt environment, we know what to inspect first. For active models, we use genuine CGI hardware and glazing whenever available. For discontinued lines, we rely on NOA-approved aftermarket components that meet or exceed original specs, so older buildings aren’t forced into costly full replacements over a discontinued latch or operator. We keep commonly needed parts stocked locally for faster Hollywood turnaround, which means less waiting when your slider stops sliding or your casement won’t close. Need impact-rated replacement for a full retrofit? We handle hurricane impact windows, full frame replacement, and horizontal roller & sliding impact windows throughout the Hollywood area.

CGI Service Pricing in Hollywood
CGI service pricing in Hollywood depends on what’s actually wrong and which product line you have. Here’s a realistic range based on what we see across the city:
- Roller or track repair on a CGI slider: $180 - $340
- Casement operator replacement: $160 - $290
- Fogged glass unit replacement (per sash): $220 - $450
- Weatherstripping and lock realignment: $140 - $260
- Full CGI slider replacement (NOA-approved, installed): $2,400 - $5,800 depending on size and opening condition
What drives cost most in Hollywood is the condition of the rough opening. Beachfront units with corroded sills and concrete damage cost more because the prep work is structural, not cosmetic. Our free estimates include a line-item breakdown, so you’re never guessing. We also offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (727) 483-7883 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood sits within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement window or door must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, which is a stricter standard than the general Florida Product Approval used in most of the state. If a contractor tells you state approval is enough, they’re wrong, and your permit will get rejected. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll make sure your product spec clears Hollywood’s building department before you pull the permit.
Florida’s post-Surfside milestone inspection mandate is forcing large-scale sliding glass door and window replacements in aging oceanfront buildings, and Hollywood’s dense corridor of 1960s through 1980s mid-rise condos on and near the A1A strip is right in the crosshairs. Inspectors flag corroded frames, failed seals, and seizure-prone tracks, and HOAs have to act. We work with condo boards to spec NOA-approved replacements that pass inspection the first time. (727) 483-7883 if your building just got its inspection report.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Mild track corrosion can often be repaired or the track rebuilt without touching the surrounding concrete. But in cases where the aluminum sill track has corroded completely shut from decades of salt intrusion, as we routinely find in 1960s and 1970s Hollywood Beach buildings, the frame can’t be pulled in the standard way. It requires angle-grinding out the entire rough opening and pouring new concrete sills before a new unit can be set. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in after we look at it. Call (727) 483-7883 for a free on-site assessment.
For Hollywood’s mid-century CBS ranch homes, we typically spec the CGI Sentinel Series or Estate Collection in a fixed or single-hung configuration, depending on the opening. Jalousie windows offer zero hurricane resistance and leak air constantly, so we usually recommend full frame replacement. The Sentinel Series gives you strong impact ratings at a sensible price point for a ranch-scale opening. The exact model depends on your sizing and whether you want Impact Windows in Hollywood for a porch or Florida room. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll walk the property and give you a line-item recommendation.
It depends on the condition of the frame and glazing. If the aluminum frame is structurally sound and only the hardware, weatherstripping, or glass unit has failed, repair usually makes financial sense. If the frame shows serious corrosion, especially around the sill track or welded corners, replacement is the right call, because no repair restores the structural integrity Broward’s HVHZ code demands. We’re upfront about which path makes sense for your building, and we never push replacement when a repair will genuinely hold up. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll give you our honest read.
