CGI Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors

We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we provide independent CGI service across Hobe Sound. We repair what fails, replace only when the frame or sash is beyond saving, and we know Martin County’s product-approval process well enough to keep your Hobe Sound Window Installation permit moving. The thing that makes our CGI work different here is simple: we photograph every NOA sticker before inspection because this county bounces units that don’t match the paperwork. Call (754) 324-4646 if a CGI window or door is giving you trouble.

Why Hobe Sound Residents Choose Us for CGI Service

We’ve been working on CGI windows and doors long enough to know the difference between a bad install and a bad product, and most of what we see in Hobe Sound is neither. It’s what the salt air and the building department do to good products over time. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in Rio just down the road and did his building construction coursework at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce. He’s spent the better part of two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors up and down this stretch of the Treasure Coast. When we open up a CGI Targa slider that hasn’t rolled smoothly in two years, we already know what the rollers will look like before we pull them. That kind of familiarity saves you time and money.

We’re CGI sales & service specialists, but we’re independent. We’re not a factory-authorized shop. That matters because we’re not bound to factory protocols that say replace the whole sash when the gasket fails. We repair what fails. If we can keep your original frames and maintain your product approval, that’s the route we recommend. If the corrosion has eaten deep enough to threaten the design pressure rating, we’ll tell you straight and show you why. Most Hobe Sound homeowners we work with have lived in their house for twenty years or more. They appreciate a straight answer the first time.

Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hobe Sound

Here’s what actually fails on CGI products in this town, based on what we pull out of houses every week:

• Pitted and seized rollers on Targa sliding glass doors within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. The salt-laden onshore wind off the Atlantic is relentless here. We see Targa tracks and rollers pitted and binding on water-view properties three to five years faster than the same hardware inland in Indiantown. We clean, replace, and re-align the full roller assembly.
• Clogged weep holes in Sentinel casements on older CBS homes. The 1960s and 1970s concrete block homes that dominate inland Hobe Sound often have landscaped beds built up against the exterior wall. Mulch and soil block the weep channels, and the afternoon thunderstorm season sends water inside the sill. We clear the channels, repair any sill rot, and re-set the weep covers.
• Failed compression gaskets on Estate casements near the water. When the gasket lets go, salt haze works into the glass pack and fogs the insulated unit faster than you’d see five miles inland. We replace the gasket with OEM CGI weatherstripping when we can, and swap the IGU when the fog is already set.
• Worn pivot hinges on Classic Series single hungs. The lower sash starts dropping or binding, especially on houses where the original jalousies were retrofitted to impact units years ago. A worn pivot shoe on one side is usually the culprit. We rebuild both sides and re-balance the sash so it stays put.
• Mismatched NOA documentation caught at inspection. We can’t count how many Hobe Sound homeowners have called us after a different crew’s install got red-tagged. Martin County inspectors verify the Florida Product Approval number on the installed unit against the permit documents. We fix the paperwork trail and get the job passed.

CGI Service in Hobe Sound: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

If you live anywhere in Hobe Sound, you already know the Intracoastal Waterway runs through the middle of this community. What you may not know is how much that matters for your CGI windows and doors. Salt-laden onshore winds off the Atlantic accelerate corrosion on aluminum frames and door hardware, even on impact-rated products. A home on Seabranch Boulevard or anywhere within a half-mile of the water will cycle through rollers, hinges, and gaskets noticeably faster than a house in Palm City or Stuart. We pulled two original jalousie windows from a 1970s CBS home near Seabranch Boulevard last year and set Sentinel impact casements during a Hobe Sound Door Installation project. Our tech caught a mismatched NOA on the permit before inspection and re-filed the product approval that afternoon. The job passed on the first visit. The homeowner’s neighbor on Jupiter Island later had us rebuild the rollers and bottom track on a Targa slider after salt had pitted the originals. That’s the rhythm of CGI service in Hobe Sound.

Martin County’s separate product-approval verification step is the detail that catches out-of-county crews every time. Inspectors here check the NOA number on the installed unit against the submitted permit documents. If the numbers don’t match, the installation gets rejected. Our techs photograph the NOA sticker on every CGI unit before final inspection. It’s a habit that keeps our jobs passing first time.

CGI Models & Products We Service in Hobe Sound

We work on the full CGI line you’re likely to find in Hobe Sound homes: the Estate Collection casement and fixed windows, the Targa Series impact sliding glass doors, the Sentinel Series impact casements and picture windows, and the Classic Series single hungs and picture windows. Parts approach is straightforward. We use OEM CGI weatherstripping and hardware when it keeps the original NOA intact. When OEM parts are backordered or priced unreasonably for what they are, we pair quality aftermarket rollers and seals with a documented engineering note so the product approval stays defensible. We replace rather than patch any frame or sash with corrosion deep enough to threaten the DP rating. If the opening is right, the rest is just doing the work.
