CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | Westlight Windows Fort Lauderdale
CGI windows and doors service in Hollywood comes down to this: we’re an independent service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, and we work on CGI products daily, from 1960s Series 950 single-hungs in Hollywood Lakes ranches to newer Estate Collection sliders in beachfront condos. For homeowners considering a full upgrade, our Hollywood Window Replacement team handles everything from historic retrofits to modern impact-rated installs. The thing that separates our CGI work here from anywhere else is that we understand Hollywood’s historic district retrofit rules and the way salt air chews through aluminum hardware within blocks of the Intracoastal. Call (754) 354-5397 for a free estimate on any CGI repair or replacement.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve been putting in and fixing windows and doors across Broward County since 2009, and CGI is one of the eight manufacturer lines we carry and service as an independently owned and operated Kingswell location. Owen Satterfield, our owner, spent the better part of two decades installing impact windows along the Las Olas Boulevard corridor before bringing that experience to Hollywood. What that means for you: we’ve seen how CGI frames pit, how balancers fatigue, and how seals fail in this specific coastal environment. We don’t guess. We diagnose based on what actually shows up in Hollywood homes.
Our work comes with the Kingswell Guarantee in writing: a price before the work starts, a real arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on completion. If a repair fails within the guarantee period, we come back at no charge. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs that up. And when you call, a live person answers, not a voicemail box.
We also carry full CGI sales & service depth, so if a window is beyond saving, we can quote a replacement from the right current CGI line instead of patching something that should have been retired years ago.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Fogged glass on older Sentinel Series units. The butyl seals on early CGI Sentinel insulated glass degrade faster in Hollywood’s salty, humid air than they do ten miles inland. Once that seal lets go, moisture gets between the panes and the fog is permanent. We replace the sealed unit with OEM CGI glass when it’s still available.
- Corrosion pitting and frozen rollers on Estate Collection sliders. Within two blocks of the Intracoastal or the ocean, salt spray accelerates aluminum frame oxidation even on factory-anodized CGI Estate Collection doors. Rollers seize, tracks pit, and the door gets harder to move every month. We clean, treat, and replace rollers and hardware with corrosion-resistant components.
- Balancer spring fatigue on Series 950 double-hungs. Hollywood’s 1950s and 60s ranch homes are full of original CGI Series 950 double-hungs. After decades of daily use, the balancer springs wear out and the sash drops or won’t stay open. We replace the balancers with precision-matched aftermarket parts sourced from Florida suppliers that understand salt corrosion.
- Snapped keeper tabs on 900 Series casements. Repeated over-cranking bends and eventually snaps the keeper tabs on CGI 900 Series casement windows. Once that happens, the window won’t seal properly, and during Hollywood’s summer downpours water finds its way in. We replace the hardware and realign the sash so it locks tight.
- Interior-mounted impact retrofits in Hollywood Lakes. The preservation board in the Lakes section often requires impact glazing installed on the interior side of original frames. We measure, order, and flash CGI impact units specifically for that retrofit method, which changes the whole job compared to a standard tear-out replacement.
CGI Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Hollywood’s Lakes section, the city’s historic preservation guidelines often require impact glazing to be installed on the interior side of original wood or metal frames to keep the 1950s street view intact. That’s a retrofit method that differs from neighboring Fort Lauderdale’s more permissive replacement rules, and it changes how we measure, order, and flash CGI impact units. If you own a mid-century home in Hollywood Lakes, you can’t just rip out the original aluminum frame and drop in a new impact window, not if you want to keep the board happy. The frame stays. The glass gets upgraded from the inside. That means different measurements, different flashing details, and different installation sequencing than a standard full-frame replacement. Our crew replaced balancers and re-glazed two fogged sashes on a CGI Series 950 double-hung in a 1957 CBS ranch off Tyler Street in Hollywood Lakes, keeping the original aluminum frame and trim to satisfy the preservation board while upgrading the glass to impact-rated laminate. We also treated the frame channels with corrosion-inhibiting lubricant after finding salt pitting from years of ocean breeze exposure. The result: smooth operation, no fog, and an intact vintage exterior.
That’s the Hollywood difference. A contractor who works mostly in Weston or Cooper City might not know the preservation board exists. We do, because we’re here.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the CGI Estate Collection, Sentinel Series, Series 950, and 900 Series. For sealed glass units and proprietary hardware like Estate Collection multi-point locks, we use OEM CGI parts whenever they’re still available. For obsolete Series 950 balancers and weatherstripping, we source precision-matched aftermarket components from Florida-specific suppliers that resist salt corrosion. We’re honest about repair-versus-replace: if the frame has structural corrosion or the glass edge seal is compromised beyond a single pane, we recommend full replacement with a current impact-rated CGI line rather than patching a 30-year-old window. We carry CGI inventory for faster turnaround on Hollywood jobs, because waiting three weeks for a part when your window won’t close is not acceptable.
CGI Service Pricing in Hollywood
Most CGI service calls in Hollywood run between $195 and $450 for diagnosis and a straightforward repair like a balancer swap, roller replacement, or keeper tab fix. Sealed glass unit replacement on a Sentinel Series window typically falls between $350 and $800 depending on size and glass type. Full-frame replacement with a current impact-rated CGI line runs $900 to $2,400 per opening installed, with the final number driven by frame material, glass package, and whether we’re working around historic district requirements. What you’ll get from us is a written price before any work starts, not a rough range that changes at the door. Call (754) 354-5397 for an exact quote, and we’ll walk your house, look at your windows, and put the number in writing.

FAQs – CGI Windows & Doors in Hollywood
That scream is almost always salt-driven corrosion on the roller bearings, especially if you’re within two blocks of the Intracoastal or the ocean in Hollywood. The aluminum track pits, the rollers seize, and the door fights you. We replace the rollers with corrosion-resistant components, clean and treat the track, and get the door sliding smoothly again. Call (754) 354-5397 if you’re ready for us to take a look.
Morning fog between the panes means the butyl edge seal on your insulated glass unit has failed, and Hollywood’s humid air is getting inside the sealed unit. There’s no wipe-off fix; the sealed glass needs replacement. We source OEM CGI sealed units where available and install them without disturbing your frame. Get a free estimate at (754) 354-5397.
Yes, interior mounting is the approach the preservation board typically requires to keep original frames intact in Hollywood Lakes. It’s a different Hollywood Window Installation than a full tear-out, and it changes the measuring, flashing, and ordering process. We’ve done interior-mount CGI retrofits on 1950s CBS ranches in the district and we know what the board expects. Ask us about it directly.
