This page is for Fountainebleau homeowners who already have CGI windows or are deciding whether to put them in. If you’ve got a specific window acting up, we’ll walk you through what’s wrong and what it costs to make it right, no pressure.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Fogged glass on CGI Estate Collection units. We see this most often on homes near the Fountainebleau golf course, where morning humidity sits heavy against west-facing windows. The desiccant inside the spacer bar gets saturated over years of thermal cycling, and once that happens, moisture creeps between the panes. We replace the insulated glass unit rather than the whole window, which keeps your frame intact and your warranty safe.
• Low-E coating degradation on older CGI Solar Control windows. The soft-coat Low-E layer is applied to the interior surface of the outer pane. In Fountainebleau’s salt-tinged air, a failed edge seal lets that coating oxidize, and homeowners notice a hazy, rainbow-ish film they can’t clean off. The fix is a new IG unit with a fresh Low-E coating, and we match the original glass tint so the window doesn’t look different from its neighbors.
• Argon gas loss in CGI 9500 series picture windows. These big fixed units look great over a canal view, but when the seal fails, the argon escapes and the window’s insulating power drops by roughly a third. You’ll feel the difference as a hot spot near the glass on summer afternoons. We test the unit, confirm the seal failure, and replace it with an IG unit that meets or exceeds the original energy rating.
• Weeping and condensation on CGI Tribute casement windows. Fountainebleau’s afternoon thunderstorms hit these windows hard because they project outward and catch water on three sides. Clogged weep holes or worn weatherstripping let moisture sit against the sash, and over time that rots the corner seals. We clear the drainage channels, replace the weatherstripping, and reseal the frame before it spreads.
• Faded furniture and flooring from CGI windows with standard glass. Some original CGI installations in Fountainebleau went in before higher solar-control glass became common. Homeowners with south-facing rooms call us because their wood floors are bleaching and their upholstery is breaking down. We audit the existing glass and recommend a UV-blocking package, often with a solar tinted pane, that cuts fade damage without making the room feel dark.

Our CGI Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   You call and a live person answers. Not a voicemail. We ask what you’re seeing, grab the address, and schedule a time that works.
2. 2
   We measure and diagnose on site. Our tech checks the frame, the glass, the weatherstripping, and the spacer system. We tell you what failed and why, in plain English.
3. 3
   You get a written, line-item quote. We price OEM and quality aftermarket glass side by side when it makes sense, so you can decide what fits your budget and your window’s remaining life.
4. 4
   We order and cut the glass. For CGI units, we match the original thickness, tint, and coating spec so the replacement performs like the factory intended.
5. 5
   We install, test, and clean up. The old glass leaves with us. The new unit gets checked for seal integrity and fit. You walk the job with the tech before we call it done.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise applies. If something’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s the standard, and it doesn’t expire.
