AfterCGI Impact Garage Doors in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors installs, replaces, and services CGI impact garage doors throughout West Palm Beach as an independent CGI service provider. Most repair jobs are completed in a single visit, and full garage door replacements typically run one to two days depending on opening size and hardware condition. Pricing is honest and written down before work starts, no surprises on the bill. If you own a CGI garage door that is binding, sagging, or no longer sealing tight against the track, call (561) 264-1279 and a live person will answer.
This page is for West Palm Beach homeowners who bought a CGI door because they wanted hurricane protection that actually works, and now need someone who understands that door specifically. Not a generic garage door crew. Us.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious impact door. But after enough West Palm Beach summers, salt air, and storm cycles, even the best hardware shows its age. Here is what we actually see on CGI doors in this area, and what we do about it:
- Roller wear on older CGI Estate Series doors. The Estate line uses heavy-gauge steel construction, which is exactly what you want in a hurricane. But that weight puts real load on the rollers and hinges. After eight to ten years of daily open-and-close cycles, rollers get flat spots and the door starts to chatter on the track. We replace rollers in matched sets, re-torque the hinge bolts, and re-balance the spring assembly so the opener is not doing work the door should not be asking it to do.
- Track misalignment from thermal movement. CGI’s aluminum-framed models expand and contract more than homeowners expect in West Palm Beach’s heat. A door that closes fine in January will drag in August because the track has shifted a fraction of an inch. We re-square the track to the opening, shim where the concrete settled, and reset the travel limits. That is a one-visit fix most of the time.
- Spring fatigue on doors that face the afternoon sun. Torsion springs lose tension faster when the door itself is absorbing heat all day, which is a common condition for west-facing garages in West Palm Beach. A tired spring makes the door feel twice as heavy and burns out opener gears prematurely. We spec replacement springs to the door’s actual weight and cycle rating, not a one-size guess off the truck.
- Weather seal degradation at the header. CGI doors ship with a reinforced top seal, but years of direct sun exposure breaks down the rubber and lets wind-driven rain push into the garage. We replace with a heavier durometer seal matched to the CGI profile, and we check the header drip edge while we are up there. If the flashing is wrong, a new seal only buys you one season.
- Wind-load code compliance drift. Some West Palm Beach homes still run CGI doors installed before the county tightened its wind-load requirements. Homeowners do not know until they try to sell or renew insurance. We measure the opening, verify what the door was actually rated for, and tell you straight if a replacement is required to meet current code. No upsell. Just the facts, on paper.
Our CGI Impact Garage Doors Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach us at (561) 264-1279. We ask what the door is doing, when it started, and whether you have the original install paperwork. That tells us which CGI line we are working with before we send a truck.
- 2
On-site diagnostic, measured twice. Our tech checks the door for square, plumb, and seal integrity before touching anything. We measure the opening, the door, and the track separately. If the panel is not true, we find out why before we start swapping parts.
- 3
Parts decision, made on paper. Where CGI OEM parts are the right call for warranty and fit, we use them. Where a quality aftermarket roller, seal, or hardware set performs equally well without touching the warranty, we show you both prices side by side and let you choose. No hidden markup, no mystery parts.
- 4
The repair or replacement. Work happens at the pace the job demands, not the pace our schedule demands. Most repairs wrap in a single visit. Replacements get the full measure-and-copy treatment: old door out, new door set, tracks aligned, springs balanced to the door’s actual weight.
- 5
Testing and walkthrough. We cycle the door fully several times, run the opener through both directions, and check the balance by hand. Then we walk you through what we did and why, and we hand you the written warranty registration.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That has been the rule since Dale Kessler started TruePane, and it has not changed.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have been serving Palm Beach County since 2008 through a heritage of craft that started long before TruePane was a company. Dale Kessler grew up in Northwood Hills and spent enough summers watching his father re-glaze storefront windows along Dixie Highway to know he wanted to work with glass and doors for a living. That is the standard we work to. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. When a CGI door is beyond saving or simply no longer the right fit, we quote PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying and what it costs. A square deal, the first time.
If the door is not square, plumb, and sealed, it is not done. That is the rule. It has kept us in business in West Palm Beach for this long, and it is why homeowners call us first when their impact door stops behaving like one.
FAQs
No, not on the components we replace, provided the parts meet or exceed the original specification. Where a CGI OEM part is required to preserve the structural warranty, we use it and show you the part number on your invoice. We never hide a parts decision, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
A standard single-door replacement takes one day on site, two at most for a double-wide or custom opening. The bigger variable is parts lead time. Most CGI doors in common sizes are available within a week to ten days through our distributor network. We will give you a firm schedule in writing before the job starts.
That depends on the door’s original rating, the current Palm Beach County code, and the condition of the door and track. Some older CGI models were rated for wind loads that no longer meet current requirements. We will measure, check the rating plate and installation records, and tell you honestly whether you are compliant or need a replacement. If replacement is required, we will quote options across CGI, PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems so you can see what fits the budget.
Yes, and we do it often. A door installed by a crew that never re-checked the frame square will bind, seal poorly, and chew through rollers. We re-measure the opening, re-square the track, and reset the door so it operates the way CGI built it to operate. If the original install damaged the panel or track beyond correction, we will tell you that too, with a written quote for replacement.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If your garage door will not close, your house is open to whatever the next West Palm Beach storm sends at it. Call (561) 264-1279 and we will get a tech out to secure the opening. Most emergency repairs are completed the same day.
