New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Pembroke Pines pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

CGI Door Installation: The Pembroke Pines Owner’s Guide
CGI door installation in Pembroke Pines typically runs $2,800-$6,400 for a standard single entry unit, depending on series, impact rating, and whether the frame needs replacement. We stock CGI hardware and frame components for same-day starts on most residential series, and we measure before we order so the door and the opening match on the first attempt. Most Pembroke Pines homeowners discover a CGI door is failing when the multipoint lock won’t engage after a humid summer, the sweep gap widens enough to let water through during a September storm, or the impact glass shows delamination at the edge - usually after 8-14 years of Florida heat cycling.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI builds three residential door lines we install regularly in Pembroke Pines: the Estate Series (aluminum impact-rated entry), the Sentinel Series (multi-slide and hinged patio units), and the commercial-grade Targa line that some newer homes in Pembroke Falls have adopted for oversized openings. The part that fails - frame, hardware, or seal - depends on which line you own.
To identify your series, check the etched mark on the glass spacer or the sticker inside the hinge jamb. Estate entry doors carry a 2-inch top rail and a 4-9/16 inch frame depth; Sentinel patio units use a 3-1/4 inch interlock and a heavier roller set. Mixing parts between lines is the most common ordering mistake we see. The Targa line, for instance, uses a proprietary multipoint lock chassis that does not retrofit into Estate frames without machining the jamb.
We source OEM CGI hardware and seals directly. For frame components on discontinued color finishes, we sometimes fabricate matched extrusions from verified aftermarket stock - we document the source on your written scope so you know what is OEM and what is equivalent-grade.
Before
AfterSigns Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing
- Multipoint lock won’t throw or feels gritty. The lock chassis in CGI Estate doors uses a zinc alloy gearbox that corrodes slowly from Pembroke Pines humidity, especially if the weep holes are clogged. You will feel resistance at the handle before total failure; by then the internal cams are already scoring.
- Water pooling at the sill after moderate rain. The compression seal under the active panel loses memory after 6-10 years of UV exposure. In Pembroke Pines, south-facing doors hit that range faster. The fix is not more caulk; it is pulling the panel and replacing the bulb seal with the correct durometer for your series.
- Panel drags or sticks in the track. Sentinel rollers use a sealed bearing that eventually fills with aluminum oxide from the track itself. Once the bearing binds, homeowners force the door and bend the track - turning a $340 roller swap into a $1,200 frame repair.
- Impact glass shows edge delamination or fog between lites. This is seal failure in the insulated glass unit, not the door itself. CGI’s glass warranty is separate from the frame warranty, and the replacement IG must match the original thickness and interlayer spec to maintain the impact rating.
- Frame corners gap or the header bows. Aluminum thermally expands 1/8 inch per 10 feet of frame in a typical Pembroke Pines summer day. If the original installer did not leave proper shim space or used rigid foam that compressed, the frame distorts and the weatherstrip cannot seat.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Service | Typical Range in Pembroke Pines |
|---|---|
| CGI Estate entry door, standard size, installed | $2,800 - $4,200 |
| CGI Sentinel patio door, single panel, installed | $3,600 - $5,800 |
| Multipoint lock hardware replacement (Estate) | $380 - $620 |
| Roller and track service (Sentinel) | $340 - $780 |

What drives the range: door size, impact rating required by your Pembroke Pines zone, finish color (custom anodized runs higher than standard bronze or white), and whether the rough opening needs reframing. Our written quote itemizes each line - door, frame, hardware, labor, permit - and the total matches the measured survey you keep. Haven Clause 1: the price before work starts is the price on the invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers installation and hardware; manufacturer glass warranties run 10-20 years depending on series.
DIY or Call Us?
There is one safe check a homeowner can make: open the door 90 degrees, set a level on the sill, and look for daylight under the straightedge. More than 3/16 inch tells you the frame or the track is out of plane - worth knowing before you call.
Everything else requires care. CGI impact doors weigh 180-340 pounds depending on size and glass. The multipoint lock stores spring tension; releasing it without supporting the panel can damage the frame or the lock chassis. We have replaced doors in Pembroke Pines where the owner removed the old unit, discovered the rough opening was 3/4 inch out of square, and had a weather opening with no way to seal it. Measure it right the first time. Everything else follows from that.
Sightline Windows & Doors Pembroke Pines is an independent service provider, not affiliated with CGI. We install their products because the specs hold up in South Florida, not because of any dealer arrangement. If you are holding a failing lock, a fogged lite, or a door that no longer seats, call (754) 219-8346 and we will schedule a measured survey. You will get the written price before any work starts.
FAQs
We see 15-25 years from a properly installed CGI impact door before the frame or glass unit needs attention, but hardware usually needs service at 8-14 years from humidity and salt air cycling. Call (754) 219-8346 for an exact assessment of your unit - estimates are free.
Sometimes. A dry lock chassis can be flushed and re-lubricated if caught early, but once the cams are scored, replacement is the only reliable fix. Seals cannot be repaired; they must be replaced with the correct profile or the door will leak. Call (754) 219-8346 and we will tell you which category yours falls into.
A standard single entry door, measured and ready, installs in one day. A full-frame replacement with reframing adds a second day. We do not promise same-day completion on full replacements because the work includes permit pull, inspection scheduling, and documented photo record - rushing any of that violates the Haven Standard. Call (754) 219-8346 to schedule.
We carry Estate multipoint lock chassis, Sentinel roller sets, and common bulb seals for the series we install most in Pembroke Pines. Specialty finishes and oversized glass units ship from CGI’s Florida distribution center in 5-10 business days. We stock enough to start most jobs same-day and finish when the specific component arrives. Call (754) 219-8346 to confirm availability for your model.
