CGI Custom & Geometric Windows in Pembroke Pines: What to Know First

We install and service CGI custom and geometric windows for homeowners throughout Pembroke Pines as an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. Most custom geometric jobs take two to four weeks from template to install, and the honest price posture is this: a true custom CGI window is a made-to-order product, so you are paying for precise fabrication, not a stock unit pulled off a shelf. Call (863) 208-6105 if you own a CGI window that needs a custom-shaped replacement, or if you are planning a geometric window project and want a straight answer before you spend a dime.

This page is for the homeowner who lives in SilverLakes, Pembroke Falls, Chapel Trail, or Grand Palms and has a half-round transom, an arched picture window, or a trapezoid sidelight that generic window shops will not touch. We measure every opening twice, and we do not guess at angles.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a strong impact window. The failure modes we see in Pembroke Pines are rarely the glass itself. They show up in the frame, the seal, and the geometry of the opening. Here is what we find on service calls:

• Frame racking on oversized geometric units. Large trapezoids and half-rounds from the Estate Collection and Sentinel Series carry a lot of glass weight. When the rough opening settles even a quarter inch in a Pembroke Pines home built on mucky fill, the frame twists. Homeowners notice the operator crank getting stiff or the sash no longer seating flush. We do not bend the frame back with shims and hope. We pull the unit, re-square the opening, and reset the window so the load distributes the way CGI engineered it.
• Seal failure at custom radius corners. The bent-glass corners on arched CGI units are where the insulating glass seal works hardest. South Florida heat cycling breaks the butyl seal there first, and the homeowner sees fog between the panes that no amount of cleaning fixes. We replace the insulated glass unit, and on a custom radius we order through a fabricator who cuts the true curve. A flat IGU will not follow a geometric radius, and no amount of caulk disguises that mistake.
• Operator and hinge wear on awning and casement geometrics. CGI’s operable geometric windows use stainless hardware from the factory, but a homeowner who cranks an arched awning against the wind for twenty years will wear the hinge pins. We see this on the Estate Collection in homes along Pines Boulevard. We replace with OEM hardware when the window is still under warranty and with quality aftermarket equivalents when it is not. We tell you which is which on the written quote.
• Improper original installation of custom shapes. More than a third of the CGI geometric windows we service in Pembroke Pines were never flashed correctly. The original installer treated an arched window like a rectangle, skipped the head flashing, and the stucco has been wicking water into the frame for a decade. You see peeling paint below the window and a soft spot in the drywall. We fix the window and the opening, because a new window set into a rotten buck is a guarantee written in pencil.
• Glass clarity issues on laminated impact geometrics. Some CGI laminated glass from the early 2010s shows a slight haze in the PVB interlayer after years of direct South Florida sun, most noticeable on decorative geometrics where the glass is a focal point. It is not a structural weakness, but it bothers homeowners who stare at that half-round over the front door every day. We can match the replacement to the original specification and get the clarity back.

Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Dale Kessler started in this trade cutting lights in his father’s glass shop, and he has spent nearly three decades measuring, fitting, and setting glass in South Florida homes. He learned at McFatter Technical College in Davie that a window is only as good as the frame holding it. Every CGI job we run follows that rule.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (863) 208-6105 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day. You describe the window, the shape, the problem. We schedule the visit.
2. 2
   We measure the opening twice and template the geometry. Geometric windows are unforgiving. A half-round that is off by a degree looks wrong from the street. We create a physical template on site and verify it against the digital model before ordering.
3. 3
   We present the parts decision in writing. OEM CGI parts when the warranty calls for them, quality aftermarket when the homeowner’s budget does. The quote shows both lines side by side. If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee, it is a guess.
4. 4
   We order and fabricate. Custom shapes take what they take. We do not rush the fabricator and we do not promise a date we cannot hold.
5. 5
   Install, test, and stand behind it. The tech re-checks square, level, and plumb after the window is set. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Then our Done Right Promise applies: if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights.

What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Pembroke Pines

Custom geometric work carries a real price, and we would rather you know the range before you call than be surprised at the quote. Here is what we see in Pembroke Pines:

• Custom half-round or arched fixed replacement, standard sizes: $1,400-$2,800 installed
• Oversized trapezoid or rake window for cathedral ceilings: $2,200-$5,000 depending on square footage and whether it carries an impact rating
• Insulated glass unit replacement for a fogged custom radius corner: $350-$850, more for laminated impact glass
• Full geometric impact window replacement with new frame: $2,800-$7,500 for complex shapes in the Estate or Sentinel lines

What moves the price: the window’s square footage, whether it needs to meet Miami-Dade impact codes, the complexity of the radius or angle, and the condition of the rough opening. A rotten buck adds framing labor. A second-story install adds equipment time. Whatever the number, you get a written line-item quote before we start, and that number does not change unless you change the scope. Call (863) 208-6105 to schedule a free estimate.
