AfterCGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Westchester: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI custom and geometric window service across Westchester, and most repair jobs are quoted the same day we look at the window. If the glass is still in the frame, we’re usually out within 3 to 5 business days to measure, diagnose, and get parts ordered. Pricing runs honest and transparent: a standard square CGI impact window replacement in Westchester generally lands between $1,400 and $2,800 installed, while a true custom arch or radius unit can run $3,200 to $6,800 depending on glass package and frame geometry. Call (863) 251-5864 and a real person picks up, 24/7.
This page is for homeowners in Westchester who already own CGI windows or are planning a custom shape on a new build and want straight answers about the brand, the costs, and what actually goes wrong. Ed Winslow has been measuring, installing, and repairing CGI products in South Florida for years, and our crew knows the brand’s quirks the way only a hands-on installer can.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Estate Collection arched units losing the seal at the crown. Arched and radius windows put constant stress on the curved top seal, and we regularly see hazing or condensation forming right at the apex. The cause is usually an aged factory glazing bead that’s shrunk under Westchester’s humidity cycles. We remove the old unit, prep the pocket, and reset the new insulated glass with a fresh sealant bead rated for South Florida UV.
- CGI Targa Series geometric windows with water staining at the mull joints. Hexagons, trapezoids, and rake windows on Targa units have more linear feet of frame joint than a standard rectangle, which means more places for water to find a seam. We trace the leak to the exact joint, disassemble the flange, re-flash the opening, and reseat the glass. No silicone band-aids and sending you back to square one next rainy season.
- CGI Sentinel Series picture windows with failed perimeter gaskets. These large fixed units are common in Westchester mid-century ranches, and the original gaskets harden over time, especially on west-facing elevations off Bird Road. The symptom is a soft click or rattle in high wind, or a faint whistle. We pull the stops, replace the gaskets with an upgraded EPDM, and reset the glass so the unit is tight but not over-clamped.
- CGI frameless radius units where the track or saddle is out of square. On custom radius windows, if the structural opening shifts even 3/16 of an inch, the unit binds and won’t seat flush. That’s a Westchester clay-soil reality: older slab homes settle in dry winters and swell after hurricane season. We don’t force it. We re-square the saddle, shim correctly, and reset the unit so it operates without grinding.
- CGI Estate Single Hung custom-width windows with broken balance shoes. Oversized single hungs wear out their balance hardware faster than standard-width units because the extra sash weight overloads the shoe. We see it on wide openings over kitchen sinks and on back walls facing patios. OEM balance assemblies are our first choice, but when lead times stretch past two weeks, we have quality aftermarket shoes that fit CGI’s channel profile and hold rating. We’ll tell you the trade-off before we order anything.
Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (863) 251-5864. No menu tree. We ask what you’re seeing, pull up your address, and if you’re inside our home county, there’s no trip charge to come look.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed tech arrives, inspects the unit, measures the opening, and checks the frame, glazing, and hardware. We give you a written line-item quote before we touch anything.
- 3
Parts decision, made together. We identify the exact CGI model and series, then walk you through OEM versus aftermarket options, including price, lead time, and warranty implications. You decide. We never upsell parts you don’t need.
- 4
The repair or replacement. Our crew handles the removal, prep, and install. For custom shapes, we templated the opening on the first visit, so the new unit drops in square and true. The site gets cleaned up like we were never there.
- 5
Testing and verification. We cycle the window, check the seals, run water on the exterior where it’s safe, and confirm the unit operates without binding. Permits pulled where Westchester code requires, and inspections passed before we call the job done.
- 6
The 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s a century-long standard, and Ed’s name is on every single job.

Why Westchester Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Ed Winslow is the owner who answers the phone when something goes sideways. His name’s on the business, which means the job doesn’t end when we pull out of your driveway. Every tech who shows up at a Westchester home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck stops rolling. And we’re not a one-brand shop: we install and service PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems as well as CGI, which means when a CGI part is backordered for three weeks, we can usually find you a workable path forward instead of leaving you waiting. Upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. The one down the road.
FAQs
We are an independent CGI service provider, not a CGI-authorized facility, so we don’t process the manufacturer’s warranty paperwork directly. What we do is diagnose the exact failure, document it thoroughly, and give you everything you need to file a claim. If you’d rather skip the warranty process, many homeowners choose to go with us for the repair anyway because our parts pricing and labor are straightforward and we stand behind our own work with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll walk you through the trade-offs on your specific window.
Custom templated CGI units in Westchester usually take 4 to 8 weeks from order to install, depending on the glass package and the factory’s current production schedule. If your existing arch is leaking or hazed but still structurally sound, we can often do a glass-only swap much faster. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll give you an honest timeline based on the exact unit.
Yes, almost always, if the frame is intact and the issue is a failed seal, worn gasket, or broken balance hardware. A repair typically runs $180 to $520, versus $3,200 to $6,800 for a full custom replacement. But if the frame is warped, the glazing channel is compromised, or water has been getting in long enough to rot the rough opening, replacement is the honest call. We’ll show you the evidence and let you decide. Estimates are free, and the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
We can, and we do it regularly for Westchester homeowners. Because we install PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems alongside CGI, we can usually template a discontinued CGI radius or hexagon and have it built by another manufacturer with a matching frame profile and glass tint. It won’t say CGI on the glass, but it will sit in the same opening and keep the same lines. Call (863) 251-5864 with your floor plan or the original window sticker, and we’ll tell you straight what’s matchable.
Yes, whenever Westchester building code requires it. Custom impact windows, especially large openings and non-rectangular shapes, fall under structural and wind-load provisions, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure it passes before we close out the job. It’s part of the price we quote you upfront, not a surprise line item at the end.
