New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound 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 Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI impact windows & doors service in Hobe Sound, with most diagnostic visits completed within 48 hours and written pricing delivered before any work begins. Typical CGI single-hung or horizontal roller repairs run $280-$520; full-frame replacements on larger openings start around $1,800 and scale with glazing specification and wall condition. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by CGI Windows & Doors, which means we source parts by fit and performance rather than by catalog restriction.
This page is for homeowners in Hobe Sound, Jupiter Island, and the Martin County barrier island corridor who already own CGI impact-rated products and need service that preserves the original impact certification. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your measured survey. The written quote you receive is the same document our crew works from; Haven Clause 1 does not permit deviation.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sentinel by CGI single-hung sash drift. The sash on this entry-level impact line gradually drops out of plumb in Hobe Sound’s salt-air environment, usually because the balance shoe polymer hardens faster here than inland. We measure the sash weight on a calibrated scale, then install OEM-spec balances or, when CGI lead times stretch past three weeks, a verified aftermarket equivalent with matching cycle rating. The fix holds because we record the exact poundage on your survey sheet.
- Impact 4400 series horizontal roller lock misalignment. The multi-point lock system on this mid-tier line relies on a zinc alloy keeper that creeps under repeated hurricane-season pressure cycling. Homeowners notice the handle turns but the sash won’t seal. We replace with brass or stainless keepers, re-mill the strike pocket if the frame has compressed, and test with a calibrated pressure gauge to confirm the sash meets the original design pressure rating.
- Sparta single-hung weep channel blockage. The narrow vertical weep slots on this builder-grade line clog with Hobe Sound’s combination of sand, pine pollen, and salt crust, trapping water in the sill track. That water wicks into the jamb liner and swells the balance housing. We clear with controlled air and nylon picks, then modify the weep path where practical. We also note the condition on your photo record so you have dated evidence if water intrusion develops later.
- Impact 7400 series insulated glass seal failure. The warm-edge spacer on this higher-end line separates in the thermal stress typical of west-facing Hobe Sound elevations, where afternoon sun hits glass that’s been cooled by the Atlantic breeze. The symptom is fog between panes that clears by noon. We order replacement IGUs with the same thickness, Low-E coating, and argon fill, then verify the sightline dimension before fabrication because CGI’s 7400 frame accepts only a narrow tolerance range.
- Commercial series fixed picture window frame screw corrosion. The factory fasteners on this line are plated steel, which we replace with 316 stainless on every Hobe Sound waterfront job we inherit. Salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion where the fastener meets the aluminum frame, and we’ve seen frames loosen enough to compromise the impact membrane. We document each fastener location on the photo record; Haven Clause 4 requires it.
Before
AfterOur CGI Impact Windows & Doors Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member records rough opening dimensions, sash weights, sightline clearances, and frame condition. You keep this document; it becomes the basis for the written quote.
- 2
Parts identification. We cross-reference CGI series, year of manufacture, and glazing spec against current OEM availability. When CGI factory lead times exceed our standard, we specify quality aftermarket parts with matching DP ratings and document the substitution on your scope sheet.
- 3
Written quote delivery. The price is fixed before work starts. Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document. No change orders, no surprises.
- 4
Installation with live testing. Crews arrive uniformed, background-checked, with license numbers provided in advance. We test lock engagement, sash operation, and weatherstrip compression after every repair; impact-rated products get a pressure-seal verification where the original rating is known.
- 5
Photo record and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You receive dated, geotagged documentation of the completed work. If anything fails due to our installation or parts selection, we return and make it right under the Haven Standard. Measure it right the first time, and the door closes the way it’s supposed to - every time after that.

Coastal exposure, especially on the barrier island side of Hobe Sound, can add 15-25% to labor due to corrosion remediation and fastener upgrades. We name that adjustment on the written quote, not after demolition. Call (772) 362-5967 for your exact figure; estimates are free and include the measured survey you keep.
Why Hobe Sound Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound for CGI Work
We’ve completed more than 18,000 openings since 2012, and a measurable share of those have been CGI products in the Hobe Sound to Stuart corridor. Our crew knows the difference between a Sentinel balance shoe and an Impact 7400 roller assembly without checking the catalog, which matters when you’re deciding whether to repair or replace.
Our multi-brand capability means we can specify PGT, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems if your CGI product is discontinued or if a different DP rating suits your opening better. We don’t sell from stock; we sell from the measured survey. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not offered as a courtesy. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, because Haven Clause 2 doesn’t permit voicemail queues.
FAQs
CGI’s product warranty covers manufacturing defects and is not contingent on who performs installation or service, though improper repair can void coverage for the specific component affected. We use OEM-spec or verified equivalent parts and document every step so you have evidence if a warranty claim arises. Call (772) 362-5967 and we’ll review your original warranty terms during the free estimate.
OEM parts from CGI’s Florida facility typically arrive in 5-10 business days; common wear items like balances and keepers we stock in limited quantity for faster turnaround. When lead times stretch, we source verified aftermarket equivalents with matching performance data and note the substitution on your written scope. Call (772) 362-5967 to check current availability for your series.
Repair is practical when the frame is sound, the glazing is intact, and the failure is isolated to hardware or weatherstrip; replacement makes sense when the frame has corroded, the IGU has failed repeatedly, or the product is discontinued and parts are unobtainable. We make that recommendation based on frame readings and your photo record, not on margin. Call (772) 362-5967 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
CGI’s standard color palette is documented and cross-referenced at our shop; custom or faded finishes require a physical sample for matching. We note the color code on your survey and confirm the match before ordering. If exact match is impossible, we tell you before work starts, not after the unit arrives. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule the color verification visit.
We verify that every replacement part, including aftermarket components, meets or exceeds the design pressure rating of the original installation, and we test lock engagement and sash seal with calibrated tools where the original rating is documented. Your photo record includes these readings. If we cannot certify the repair to impact standard, we tell you and recommend replacement instead. Call (772) 362-5967 to review the testing protocol for your specific CGI series.
