About This Manufacturer
CGI is a major player in South Florida's impact window and door market, in business since 2010. They are particularly familiar with local building codes and regulations, particularly Miami-Dade requirements for hurricane protection. CGI offers a variety of impact windows and doors in aluminum and vinyl, catering to different styles and budgets. Impact windows and doors can reduce homeowner's insurance costs and potentially eliminate the need for a security system. PGT Industries, a leading manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors nationwide, acquired CGI in 2016, expanding their product offerings and market reach. The company is based in Hialeah, Florida.
If you are interested in getting new hurricane proof windows and doors, we offer a free estimate anywhere within South Florida communities along the east coast. Typically, we send a representative to your home or office and they will take measurements, show you different products and styles and then give you a price which includes options for financing if desired. Our financing options include various deals which include no money down or zero percent interest if paid within a certain timeframe. The representative will go over all these details with you.
Reputation and Service
According to Angi's List, CGI's online reviews are mixed, with some praising their products and others reporting issues with customer service or order fulfillment. Shoppers should keep in mind that CGI doesn't sell directly to the general public. Their website focuses on finding a dealer, with options for homeowners, trade professionals, and international exports. Their showroom isn't openly accessible, requiring an appointment, however, many window and door companies sell products from various manufacturers including CGI products.
Impact Rating
CGI offers different impact window and door series, each rated for various wind speeds. Authorized dealers are familiar with the wind speed ratings for different CGI products and can advise you accordingly. Impact resistant windows and doors from CGI are rigorously tested to provide protection from hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. However, they also provide a wide range of additional benefits including increased security, lower energy costs, less noise disruption, and UV ray reduction.
Security and Safety
CGI prioritizes hurricane protection in their marketing and product descriptions. For the highest level of security, additional features like security alarms or security film might be necessary. While impact resistance makes forced entry harder, it doesn't guarantee it. Consult a security professional for a complete home security plan.
Warranty Coverage
CGI Windows & Doors offers a limited warranty on their products, but the specifics will depend on the type of product (window, door, hardware, etc.) and whether it's installed in a residential or commercial application. CGI provides downloadable warranty documents on their website. These documents outline the coverage period for different product categories, such as: Insulated Glass (against defects causing vision obstruction or moisture) and Hardware, Screens, and Moving Parts (against mechanical failure due to material or workmanship). The warranty period generally varies depending on the product and application. For example, residential window hardware might be covered for 10 years, while commercial door hardware might only have a 3-year warranty. While registering your products is not mandatory, it's recommended to ensure you can easily access warranty information in the future. The warranty documents detail exclusions and limitations, such as normal wear and tear, improper installation, or damage caused by misuse. Before submitting a warranty claim, CGI recommends contacting the dealer you purchased the windows and doors from for service.
