CGI Construction in Orlando, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Orlando
We’re Penhallow Remodeling Orlando - your local General Contractor, and we provide independent CGI window and door service across the Orlando metro. We work on the full CGI lineup including the Estate Collection, Sentinel Series, and Magnum Series. One thing makes our CGI work here different from most: we know Orlando’s inland wind-borne debris zones and historic district code triggers, which means we install the right impact-rated unit the first time instead of guessing. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI windows and doors are built for hurricane zones. They’re heavy, aluminum-framed, and unforgiving if installed even slightly out of square. Our crew has rebuilt and refinished CGI windows and doors across hundreds of Central Florida homes, giving us hands-on knowledge of their aluminum frames, glazing, and hardware that generic remodelers lack. We’re also fully independent and never manufacturer-authorized, which means we recommend what’s actually best for your house, not what a factory program tells us to push.
Trevor Nash, our owner at Penhallow Remodeling Orlando, learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent two decades on everything from slab foundations to finish carpentry. He and our crew have been serving Orlando homeowners for years, including projects in College Park, where the 1950s-era framing keeps us honest about what older block homes actually need. That background is why we hand you a written price before any work starts and stand behind it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Here’s the full picture on our CGI sales & service work.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Fogged insulated glass from seal failure. Orlando’s intense UV exposure breaks down the glazing seals on older CGI units, especially Sentinel Series picture windows facing west or south. Moisture gets between the panes, the window fogs, and the impact rating drops. We replace the laminated insulated glass unit with OEM-spec panels and re-bed the stops with fresh sealant.
- Aluminum frame corrosion at weep holes and corners. Central Florida’s high seasonal humidity plus salt air drift from Atlantic storm bands eats aluminum at the weep slots and corner joints. We see this constantly on Estate Collection windows and doors in south Orlando neighborhoods like Conway and Belle Isle. Depending on how deep the corrosion goes, we either clean, prime, and refinish, or recommend full frame replacement.
- Seized multi-point locks on older Estate Collection sashes. After years of summer moisture and dust, the multi-point lock mechanisms gum up and refuse to throw. That’s a safety problem as much as a security one, since egress windows that won’t open fail final inspection. We disassemble, clean, lubricate, and replace worn lock sets. On windows where the lock body is cracked, we order OEM replacements.
- Deteriorated Targa series hinge arms and rollers. CGI Targa casement and awning windows cycle open and shut in humid, pollen-heavy air. The stainless hinge arms and nylon rollers wear out, the sash sags, and the vent panel won’t seat against the weatherstripping. We keep aftermarket rollers and hinge kits in stock for fast Orlando turnaround.
- Post-storm interlayer delamination. After a big blow, we get calls about visible white hazing or wavy distortion in the laminated glass layer. That’s interlayer delamination, and it means the impact resistance is compromised. There’s no safe repair for that. We replace the sash or the entire vent panel, and we document it for your insurance carrier.
CGI Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most national guides get wrong about Orlando. Because Orlando sits inland from the coast, Florida Building Code only applies HVHZ, High Velocity Hurricane Zone, glazing standards in certain wind-borne debris regions. Homes in neighborhoods like College Park and Delaney Park that still have original 1920s-to-1950s single-pane wood windows are often non-compliant until upgraded to CGI impact units. This is a local code nuance that differs even from nearby coastal cities where HVHZ applies universally. If you own an older Orlando home, your windows may pass a visual inspection but fail a wind-mitigation review, and that affects your insurance premium and your actual safety. Our Orlando service area covers these older neighborhoods, and we know exactly which streets get flagged.
We saw this firsthand on a 1980s block home in College Park, where our tech replaced two fogged CGI Sentinel Series picture windows. The aluminum frames had corroded at the weep slots from years of sprinkler overspray. We removed the old glazing, installed new OEM impact laminated insulated glass units, and refinished the frames with corrosion-inhibiting primer before re-bedding the stops. The windows now clear the homeowner’s wind-mitigation inspection and restored their view of Lake Ivanhoe.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We install, repair, and replace the full CGI residential lineup here in Orlando, including the Estate Collection, the Sentinel Series, the Estate Targa, and the Magnum Series. That covers single-hung, casement, awning, picture, and horizontal roller windows, plus hinged and sliding glass doors.
On parts, our approach is simple. For structural glazing and lock sets, we use OEM CGI panels and hardware where available, because aftermarket substitutes can void a warranty or reduce impact ratings. For non-structural wear items like gaskets and rollers, we use proven aftermarket parts to control cost. When frame corrosion exceeds 30% of a rail, or when interlayer delamination is visible after a storm, we recommend full replacement over repair. This gives you a straight answer on cost versus safety. We also install impact windows, handle full window replacement, and take on Orlando Bathroom Remodeling and specialty roofing projects tied to wind-mitigation retrofits.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Orlando
No. Window retrofits don’t touch the roof structure or the strap-to-truss connections, so your roof warranty stays intact. If anything, proper impact window installation can make your wind-mitigation inspection easier to pass, since the inspector can credit both the openings and the roof connection. Call (850) 427-6454 if you want us to talk through the full scope before you commit.
That’s surface condensation on the interior face, not seal failure. Orlando’s overnight humidity makes warm, moisture-heavy indoor air hit the cooler interior glass. When the outside air warms up by mid-morning, it clears. True seal failure fog stays between the panes all day. If you’re seeing that, call us at (850) 427-6454 for a free inspection.
Usually yes. Window replacement that matches the existing opening size and doesn’t change the exterior appearance typically falls under routine maintenance in College Park’s historic district. We still handle the paperwork, and we’ll tell you up front if your specific street triggers additional review. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll pull the rules for your address.
No. The Targa series hinge arm and roller assembly is a modular part. We can replace just the hinge hardware, reset the sash, and retune the operation. The vent panel and glass stay put. If the hinge damage is severe enough that the sash won’t seat, we’ll tell you that too. Either way, the estimate is free at (850) 427-6454.
Yes, in most cases. Orange County sits in a wind-borne debris region, and many insurers apply wind-mitigation credits for impact-rated openings regardless of coastal distance. That includes homeowners policies from major carriers. After we install your CGI units, we’ll provide documentation for your wind-mitigation inspection. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll explain what to submit.
