CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | Sightline Windows & Doors West Park
CGI windows and doors installed in Hollywood must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification for Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone - no exceptions, no workarounds. We provide independent CGI service across Hollywood, from downtown CBS ranches to A1A corridor mid-rises, and the one thing that separates our CGI work here is that every estimate we write accounts for the full tearout reality this city’s housing stock demands. Call (786) 685-4706 to schedule your measured survey.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across South Florida since 2012, and our crew knows CGI’s product lines the way a mechanic knows an engine. Sonia Raman, our owner, came up through Miami Dade College’s construction technology program and spent the better part of two decades on South Florida job sites - including retrofit work along the residential streets near Sunview Park where older homes still carried single-pane aluminum frames untouched since the 1980s. She reads a rough opening correctly the first time and tells homeowners what a job will actually cost before any contract is signed.
We are an independent CGI service provider - not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by CGI. That independence means we source CGI sales & service solutions based on what your opening actually needs, not on what a manufacturer program pushes. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. Every job carries a written price before any work starts, a documented photo record when it finishes, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped under the Haven Standard. Measure it right, say what it costs, do the work.
Hollywood Window Replacement means we handle CGI’s Miami-Dade NOA submittals every week. We don’t guess at permitting; we pull the permit, pass the inspection, and leave you the documentation.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood

- Salt-air corrosion on CGI aluminum frames and hardware along the A1A corridor. Hinges, rollers, and lock strikes pit and seize well before the glass or frame itself fails. Hollywood’s barrier-adjacent Atlantic exposure accelerates this corrosion versus inland Broward - we’ve replaced hardware on CGI units that looked fine from ten feet away but wouldn’t lock properly due to crystallized salt deposits in the strike pocket.
- Glazing seal and interlayer breakdown in CGI impact laminated glass. West- and east-facing elevations take the worst of it, producing edge haze and eventual water intrusion between lites. Hollywood’s intense solar exposure plus persistent humidity creates a thermal cycling stress that degrades the PVB interlayer faster than in shaded or inland installations.
- Threshold and sill pan leaks on CGI sliding and entry doors. Where original sill pans were reused or set in degraded sealant, Hollywood’s humidity accelerates sealant failure and wood rot in the subfloor. We see this routinely on 1990s-2000s installations where the contractor saved two hours by not replacing the pan.
- Failed or stiff rollers and track wear on early CGI horizontal roller and 3-lite units. Beachside condos along Hollywood’s A1A corridor have cycled these units thousands of times over 15+ years. The rollers flatten, the track grooves, and the sash drops enough to compromise the weatherstrip seal.
- Full jalousie tearouts on 1950s-1970s CBS ranches. Hollywood’s pre-AC housing stock used louvered glass panels for cross-ventilation. These have zero retrofit path to HVHZ compliance. Every jalousie-to-CGI conversion requires rough-in carpentry, new pressure-treated bucks, and stucco repair - a scope that simply does not appear on CGI jobs in inland Broward or Palm Beach County.

AfterCGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which controls every product selection, estimate, and permit pulled in this city. A window that is perfectly code-legal in Palm Beach County or even inland Broward cannot be legally permitted here. Only HVHZ-tested impact products qualify, and Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood require CGI’s full Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance documentation to get the permit approved and the inspection passed.
That permitting reality collides with Hollywood’s housing stock in a specific way: the city’s widespread 1950s-1970s jalousie windows are a full tearout every time. On a 1962 CBS ranch off Hollywood Boulevard near the downtown core, our crew tore out a full wall of original jalousie windows and rough-framed the opening for CGI Sentinel Series impact single-hung units - the original bucks were rotted and the stucco needed patching after the louvered frames came out. The homeowner had been quoted an insert swap elsewhere; we showed them the NOA submittal and the wind-load schedule that made insert replacement impossible on that opening. Final scope included new pressure-treated bucks, flashing, CGI impact units, and stucco match.
This is why our CGI estimates for Hollywood’s older neighborhoods are built around carpentry and stucco restoration, not insert replacement. The cost reflects the actual scope. The alternative - an insert swap that fails inspection - costs more in the long run.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood

We work with CGI’s full impact-rated product range, specifying by performance tier and what the opening requires:
- CGI Sentinel Series impact windows - single hung, horizontal roller, and 3-lite slider configurations for Hollywood’s CBS ranch replacements and mid-rise HOA scopes.
- CGI Estate Series impact entry doors and French/double door systems - specified where aesthetic requirements match HVHZ structural demands.
- CGI Sentinel Series impact sliding glass doors - common on Hollywood CBS ranch rear elevations, often replacing original aluminum sliders that never carried impact rating.
- CGI vinyl impact single-hung and horizontal roller units - increasingly specified for HOA mid-rise replacement scopes where budget and maintenance cycles align.
We use OEM CGI replacement hardware, rollers, gaskets, and glass cartridges whenever CGI still supplies them. We qualify marine-grade aftermarket equivalents only when OEM is discontinued - never generic hardware on an impact opening. Our Hollywood service area warehouse stocks common CGI hardware profiles for faster turnaround on standard repairs.
CGI Service Pricing in Hollywood
CGI service costs in Hollywood reflect three factors: the HVHZ product premium, the labor intensity of full-frame work on older housing stock, and the marine-grade hardware specification required for coastal exposure.
| Service Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| CGI hardware repair (rollers, hinges, locks) | $180 - $420 |
| CGI re-glazing / seal replacement | $340 - $680 per lite |
| CGI single unit full frame replacement (standard opening) | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| CGI jalousie-to-impact conversion with carpentry/stucco | $2,800 - $5,200 per opening |
| CGI Estate Series entry door replacement | $3,600 - $7,400 |
| CGI sliding glass door full replacement | $2,800 - $6,200 |
Every estimate begins with a measured survey you keep. The written quote cannot differ from that document. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor. Call (786) 685-4706 for an exact quote on your CGI project - estimates are free, and the price is written before any work starts.

FAQs - CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood
You need the HVHZ-approved version. Hollywood’s location in Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone means only products with Miami-Dade NOA certification can be legally permitted here. CGI manufactures HVHZ-rated versions of their Sentinel and Estate Series specifically for this zone, and those are the only submittals we work with for Hollywood permits. Call (786) 685-4706 to confirm your product selection against the NOA - estimates are free.
Your neighbor’s home likely has a newer window system that allows insert replacement. Jalousie windows have no retrofit path to HVHZ wind-rated compliance - the louvered frames, single-pane glass, and lack of structural anchoring make it impossible. Every jalousie-to-CGI conversion in Hollywood requires full tearout, rough-in carpentry with pressure-treated bucks, and stucco repair. That scope simply doesn’t exist on insert jobs. Call (786) 685-4706 and we’ll show you the wind-load schedule that drives this - estimates are free.
Repair if the frame is structurally sound and OEM hardware is available. We replace the rollers, hinges, and lock strikes with OEM CGI parts, clean the track, and re-seat the sash. Replace if salt corrosion has reached the frame extrusion itself, compromising the impact rating or creating air infiltration paths. On A1A corridor units, we see corrosion advance to the frame faster than inland locations. Call (786) 685-4706 - we’ll inspect and give you the honest call with a written price either way.
Post-Champlain Towers legislation has accelerated recertification deadlines, and many Hollywood mid-rises from the 1970s-1980s are now confronting full window replacement scopes. CGI vinyl impact single-hung and horizontal roller units are commonly specified for these HOA projects due to their balance of HVHZ rating, maintenance cycle, and unit cost. We handle the NOA submittals, permit pulls, and inspection scheduling as part of the scope. The key is early planning - lead times on multi-unit CGI orders can extend 12-16 weeks. Call (786) 685-4706 to review your building’s schedule - estimates are free.
Yes, when specified and maintained correctly. CGI Estate Series entry doors and Sentinel Series sliders carry the full Miami-Dade NOA for HVHZ exposure. The critical factor is marine-grade hardware and proper sill pan installation with continuous sealant - shortcuts here fail faster in Hollywood’s coastal environment than anywhere else in Broward. We document the sill pan and sealant work in our photo record so you have evidence of proper installation. Call (786) 685-4706 to schedule an inspection - estimates are free.
