CGI Construction in Clermont, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Orlando
We’re a General Contractor - Clermont team specializing in CGI construction, and the short answer is this: if you have CGI windows or doors that are failing, fogging, sticking, or leaking, we can repair or replace them, usually within a week or two depending on part availability. What sets our CGI work apart in Clermont is that we understand the two very different housing realities here: the 1970s-1990s ranch homes around the original downtown and lakes where original installs often predate current Florida Building Code impact requirements, and the newer concrete-block subdivisions where builder-grade CGI products are starting to show age. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Clermont Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI windows and doors are built for Florida’s hurricane exposure zones, and we’ve installed and repaired enough of them in Clermont to know exactly how they behave here. We work with the full CGI lineup: CGI sales & service is something we’ve done across the area for years, from Sentinel Series impact windows to the Estate Collection and 900 Series sliding glass doors. Isaac Pruett, our owner, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent decades on job sites. He’s the one who made the call to stock genuine CGI replacement parts locally so Clermont homeowners aren’t waiting two weeks for a roller or a sash balance. We’re independent, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we answer to you, not to a corporate warranty department. We tell you straight when a repair is worth it and when it isn’t.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Clermont
- Seal failure and fogging in CGI insulated glass units. Clermont’s humidity sits high most of the year, and the UV exposure here is relentless. Older CGI units, especially those installed in the 1990s and early 2000s, lose their argon gas fill and the seal between panes breaks down. You’ll see condensation between the glass that won’t wipe away. That’s a failed IGU, and the fix is a new sash or full unit, not a cleaning.
- Roller and track wear on CGI sliding glass doors in lakeside homes. Homes along the Clermont chain of lakes deal with sandy soil and constant lake moisture. That grit gets into door tracks, grinds against rollers, and corrodes the stainless hardware over time. You’ll feel the door get heavier every month. We stock replacement rollers and track kits to fix it fast.
- Water intrusion from improperly flashed CGI window installations. Clermont’s afternoon thunderstorm season is a daily event from June through September. If the original installers didn’t flash the sill correctly, water finds its way behind the frame and into the wall. You’ll see water stains under the window or on the drywall inside. We pull the window, correct the flashing, and reinstall it properly.
- Sticking or misaligned sashes on CGI projected windows in older ranch homes. The 1970s-1990s ranch homes around downtown Clermont and the lakes have settled over decades. Window openings shift slightly, and CGI projected windows installed years ago start to bind. Sometimes it’s a matter of adjusting the hinges and balances. Other times the frame is too far out of square and the unit needs replacement.
- Insurance-driven upgrades on homes that predate current impact codes. Many original windows and doors in Clermont’s older homes don’t meet current Florida Building Code impact requirements. When insurers require upgrades, homeowners need a contractor who can install CGI impact-rated products, document the work properly, and provide the paperwork the insurance company wants. We do that routinely here.
CGI Service in Clermont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Clermont’s growth from a small citrus town to a sprawling suburb created a housing patchwork that directly shapes CGI service work. Drive through the neighborhoods around Lakeshore Drive or the original downtown, and you’ll find 1970s-1990s ranch homes with original CGI installations, or sometimes original non-impact windows that are being swapped for CGI impact products because of insurance mandates tied to the area’s hurricane exposure zone. That enforcement dynamic is less pronounced in inland Lake County communities to the north. What it means for a Clermont homeowner is this: the decision to repair versus replace is often not optional. If your home’s windows are pre-code and your insurer is asking for impact-rated products, repairing a fogged unit is delaying the inevitable. We’ll give you a straight answer on whether a repair buys you time or just postpones a required replacement. The area’s sandy, well-drained soils also mean less frost heave than you’d see up north, but they contribute to erosion near slopes, and that can shift door frames and window openings over time. It’s one of the reasons we check frame squareness before we ever order a replacement sash for an older Clermont home.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Clermont
We service the full CGI product range: Sentinel Series impact windows, the Estate Collection, Commercial/Architectural projected windows, and 900 Series sliding glass doors. When a repair requires new glass or hardware, we use genuine CGI replacement parts when they’re available, especially for impact-rated glazing and hardware, because that’s what preserves code compliance and product integrity. For discontinued CGI components, we source high-quality aftermarket parts that match original specs, and we’ll tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense than repair. Our rule of thumb: if repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit’s value, or if the old unit lacks current impact certification, we recommend full replacement. We keep common CGI parts stocked for faster turnaround across Clermont.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Clermont
Yes, in most cases. If you’re doing a Clermont Bathroom Remodeling or major remodel on a 1970s-1990s Clermont home, the current Florida Building Code requires impact-rated products like CGI Sentinel Series windows for any openings being replaced or newly created. Your insurer may also require it even if the code doesn’t. We handle the documentation so your permit and insurance paperwork stay clean. Call (850) 920-7745 for a project-specific answer.
Fogging between the panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed. Clermont’s high humidity and intense UV exposure accelerate that failure, especially on older CGI units. It’s not a cleaning issue; the IGU needs replacement. We stock genuine CGI glass packs for faster turnaround, and our free estimate will tell you whether a full unit replacement makes more sense.
Usually yes. CGI’s model lines have evolved, but we can match the frame profile, color, and glass type closely with current Estate Collection or Sentinel Series units. Exact trim match depends on what was originally installed, and we’ll show you samples before ordering. If you’re replacing just one window among several, we’ll be honest about how close the match will be.
Well, as long as they were installed correctly. The failure point isn’t usually the glass; it’s the flashing and the sill. Clermont gets intense, repeated downpours every afternoon from June through September, and a poorly flashed CGI window will leak even though the glass handles the rain fine. We correct flashing defects regularly, and we recheck every window we install.
Most CGI window replacements in Clermont take one to three weeks from order to installation, depending on the product line and whether the units are stock or custom-sized. We maintain local stock of common CGI parts and components to shorten that where possible. Call (850) 920-7745 for a current lead time on your specific window or door.
