New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Pompano Beach pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
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.
2. Select the right products
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 Door Installation: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
CGI door installation in Pompano Beach typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 for a standard single entry unit, depending on impact rating, frame material, and whether the rough opening needs reframing. We stock CGI frames, sills, and hardware in our Pompano Beach warehouse, and most replacements are surveyed, priced, and installed within five business days. Most homeowners discover their CGI door is failing when the sweep drags, the multipoint lock won’t engage all three bolts, or they spot daylight between the frame and the jamb after a storm.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
We install and replace across CGI’s full residential line: the Estate Series (aluminum impact), Sentinel Series (vinyl impact), and the commercial-grade Targa line. The label you’re looking for is on the hinge jamb, a stamped metal tag with the series code, manufacturing date, and NFRC performance numbers. Match that tag to the order; guessing by sightline measurement alone will send you back to the supplier.
The OEM-versus-aftermarket question for CGI is straightforward in our experience. CGI’s proprietary multipoint locking system uses a 45mm backset and a non-standard faceplate width that most aftermarket hardware won’t accommodate without milling the jamb. We order direct from CGI’s Miami distribution center for lock bodies and keep reinforced sills and compression seals on the truck. For standard hinges and sweep assemblies, we use a tested aftermarket equivalent that matches the original spec at lower cost. The difference goes on the written quote, line item by line item.
Before
AfterSigns Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing
- The door sticks or drags at the corner. In Pompano Beach, the combination of salt air and seasonal humidity swells the composite sill and compresses the adjustable shoe. We check this first on every callback; it’s usually a 10-minute adjustment, not a full replacement.
- Water pools at the interior threshold after rain. The weep holes in CGI sills clog with sand and organic debris faster here than inland. If the water’s coming from below the sill pan, though, the flashing failed during original installation, and that’s a frame-out job.
- The multipoint lock only catches at the handle, not the top or bottom bolt. The actuator rod slips out of alignment when the door sags on worn hinges. CGI’s three-point system won’t secure the door unless all bolts engage; a single-point catch is a security risk, not a quirk.
- Daylight visible around the frame perimeter. The frame-to-rough-opening seal degrades, or the original installer used backer rod and caulk instead of proper low-expansion foam and flashing tape. In Pompano Beach, this gap also lets in wind-driven rain during tropical weather.
- Condensation between the glass panes. CGI’s impact glass uses a warm-edge spacer system. When the seal fails, typically after 8 to 12 years in direct south Florida exposure, the glass unit needs replacement, not the whole door.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component / Scope | Typical Range in Pompano Beach |
|---|---|
| CGI Estate Series single entry, installed | $2,400 - $3,800 |
| CGI Sentinel Series single entry, installed | $1,800 - $2,900 |
| Multipoint lock assembly replacement | $340 - $520 |
| Impact glass unit replacement (IGU) | $680 - $1,100 |
| Sill pan / flashing repair (frame-in-place) | $580 - $940 |
| Full rough opening reframe | $420 - $780 additional |
What drives the range: the condition of the existing rough opening, whether the original installer used CGI’s specified sill pan and end-dam flashing, and whether the door is impact-rated or standard. Every quote we write in Pompano Beach starts with the measured survey you keep. The price on that document matches the final invoice. Haven Clause 1. No change orders, no surprises.
Our installation includes removal and disposal of the old unit, installation per CGI’s published tolerances, low-expansion foam sealant, exterior-grade sealant at all penetrations, and a documented photo record of the completed work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers labor and materials. Product warranties run through CGI directly.
DIY or Call Us?
There’s a short list of checks an owner can make safely: verify the door is actually latching at all three points, clear weep holes with a pipe cleaner, and confirm the sweep isn’t packed with debris. Beyond that, CGI impact doors weigh 90 to 140 pounds depending on size and glass package. The frame must be leveled in three planes while the unit is supported; one corner out of square and the multipoint lock won’t align.
The safety issue is the glass itself. CGI’s impact-rated units are laminated with a structural interlayer. If the unit cracks during handling, the glass can delaminate in unpredictable patterns. We don’t recommend owners attempt removal or installation. Call (754) 253-0713 and we’ll schedule the measured survey. The written price comes before any work starts.
FAQs
Expect 15 to 20 years for the frame and hardware, 8 to 12 years for the insulated glass unit before seal failure, assuming direct coastal exposure and normal maintenance. The multipoint lock actuator typically needs adjustment at year 6 to 8. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote on your unit - estimates are free.
Yes, in roughly half the cases we see in Pompano Beach. A dragging door, misaligned lock, or failed glass unit can be addressed without full replacement. If the frame is rotted, the sill pan is rusted through, or the original installer skipped flashing, replacement is the only fix that lasts. We document both options on the written quote.
A standard replacement in an existing rough opening takes one day, start to finish. If we need to reframe, add a second day. We don’t promise same-day installation on planned work; the survey, ordering, and scheduling process takes three to five business days for in-stock units. Call (754) 253-0713 to check current CGI availability.
We stock standard-size Estate and Sentinel frames, sills, hardware kits, and glass units in our Pompano Beach warehouse. Custom sizes and Targa commercial units ship from CGI’s Miami distribution center with a 10 to 14 day lead time. We also stock parts for PGT, CWS, and ES Windows if your home has mixed manufacturer lines.
