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 Window Replacement: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
CGI window replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs $340 to $890 per opening for standard sizes, with most jobs completed in a single visit once the measured survey is done. We stock CGI-compatible frames, sashes, and hardware across the most common series, and we carry PGT, CWS, and ES Windows equivalents when a full-series change makes sense. Most homeowners in Pompano Beach realize their CGI window needs replacement when the sash won’t stay open, the lock no longer seats flush, or they feel air movement at the frame perimeter during a northeast wind off the Atlantic.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI marks their series on a permanent label inside the frame head or on the spacer bar between glass lites. The most common units we replace in Pompano Beach are from the Estate Series (aluminum impact-rated), Sentinel Series (vinyl impact), and Targa Series (commercial-grade aluminum). Each uses a different frame depth: Estate runs 3-1/4 inch, Sentinel runs 2-7/8 inch, and Targa runs 4-1/2 inch. Mixing sash and frame series never works; the glazing stops and weatherstripping channels don’t align.
We match OEM CGI parts when the series is still in production. For discontinued lines, we source aftermarket frames from our verified manufacturers that match the rough opening and maintain the impact rating. One compatibility gotcha in Pompano Beach: homes built between 2004 and 2010 often have CGI units with pre-2010 Miami-Dade NOA numbers. Those frames used a different corner key geometry than current production. We check the NOA stamp before ordering; installing a current-generation sash in a pre-2010 frame cracks the corner within two seasons of thermal cycling.
Before
AfterSigns Your CGI Window Replacement Is Failing
- Sash drops or won’t stay open. The balance system has lost tension. In CGI vinyl units, the coil balance is embedded in the jamb liner and not field-replaceable without destroying the liner. We replace the full sash and liner assembly.
- Visible moisture between glass lites. The insulating glass unit seal has failed. Florida’s UV exposure and salt air accelerate this; we see it most often on west-facing CGI windows in Pompano Beach after eight to twelve years. The glass pack must be replaced, not the whole frame if the frame is sound.
- Lock tongue doesn’t engage or rattles. The keep or lock mechanism has worn past adjustment. CGI uses a proprietary mortise lock in most series; the aftermarket equivalents we stock are spec-matched but not branded CGI.
- Frame corners weep water during heavy rain. The frame sealant has aged out or the weep holes are blocked with coastal debris. We disassemble the corner, clean the weep channels, and reseal with neutral-cure silicone rated for aluminum-vinyl contact.
- Operable window is difficult to close against the weatherstrip. The sash has sagged or the frame has settled out of square. We measure the diagonals; if they’re more than 1/8 inch different, the frame is twisted and the sash will never seat properly.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component | Price Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Standard CGI sash replacement (up to 40″ x 60″) | $340 – $520 |
| Full frame replacement, standard opening | $680 – $890 |
| Insulating glass unit only (glass pack swap) | $280 – $440 |
| Hardware set (lock, keep, operator) | $140 – $220 |
| Impact-rated upgrade to current NOA | Add $120 – $180 per opening |
The range depends on three things: whether we reuse the existing frame, whether the opening needs structural repair from prior leakage, and whether the replacement must carry a current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for insurance purposes. Every quote we write in Pompano Beach includes the measured survey you keep, the written scope with line-item pricing, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the document. No change orders. The price on the page is the price on the invoice.
DIY or Call Us?
An owner can safely check three things: whether the lock engages fully, whether weep holes are clear, and whether the sash is genuinely square in the frame. Use a tape measure on the diagonals; if they differ by more than 1/8 inch, the frame is twisted and no amount of adjustment fixes it.
What goes wrong with DIY: CGI impact-rated sashes weigh 40 to 70 pounds depending on size and glass thickness. Removing one without proper support risks frame damage and personal injury. More critically, an improperly seated sash loses its impact rating; your insurance claim after a named storm can be denied if the installation wasn’t performed by a licensed contractor with a permit. We pull permits when required and pass inspection; the documentation travels with the job. For a measured survey and written price before any work starts, call (754) 253-0713.
FAQs
Twelve to twenty years for the frame and hardware, eight to twelve years for the insulating glass seal in coastal exposure. West-facing units with direct afternoon sun and salt spray from the Intracoastal tend toward the shorter end. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote on replacement - estimates are free.
A cracked or fogged insulating glass unit cannot be repaired; the seal is factory-set and the spacer bar is crimped, not serviceable. We replace the glass pack with a new unit that matches the original thickness and Low-E coating. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A sash swap takes 45 to 90 minutes per opening. A full frame replacement takes 2 to 4 hours including removal, rough opening inspection, and proper flashing integration. We schedule one full day for up to four openings. Call (754) 253-0713 to schedule your measured survey.
We stock CGI-compatible sashes, frames, and hardware for Estate, Sentinel, and Targa series in the most common sizes. Specialty sizes and custom geometric shapes order in five to ten business days. We also stock PGT, CWS, and ES Windows equivalents when a cross-manufacturer solution fits the opening better. Call (754) 253-0713 to confirm availability for your unit.
