CGI Construction in Orlando, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Orlando
As a General Contractor - Orlando focused on CGI work, we mostly deal with one thing: impact windows and doors that have to survive a climate that punishes them daily. We’re Mason Remodeling Co Orlando, an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate or authorized dealer. What makes our CGI work different here is simple: we know where these units fail in Orlando specifically. The humidity, the afternoon thunderstorms, the stucco-over-wood-frame subdivisions west of downtown: all of it shows up in how CGI windows and doors degrade. Call (850) 920-7745 when you need a straight answer about your CGI windows, doors, or siding.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Independent CGI specialists see things authorized dealers sometimes miss, because we’re out here pulling failed units from Orlando homes every week. Our crews know the CGI sales & service lines: the Estate Collection impact windows, the Classic Guard series, the Estate sliding glass doors, the Commercial Series storefront and curtain wall. Isaac Pruett, our owner, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent decades on real job sites before bringing that experience to Orlando. He and the crew have been serving this metro for years now. We stock OEM-compatible parts locally, sash balances, weatherstripping, roller assemblies, and hardware, so we don’t make Orlando homeowners wait on a warehouse three states away. When you call, you get a live person, not a phone tree.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Weathered weatherstripping on Estate Collection sashes. Orlando’s daily summer thunderstorms push water sideways. Once the weatherstripping tears or compresses, wind-driven rain rides right into the track and, worse, the wall cavity behind the frame. We see this constantly in homes along the I-Drive corridor and out in Hunter’s Creek.
- Cloudy or delaminating laminated glass interlayers. The impact-rated glass in CGI units has a polymer interlayer. West-facing windows in Orlando take brutal afternoon sun, and over time that UV load breaks down the interlayer bond. What starts as a little haze at the corner becomes a full delamination; the glass still looks intact but the impact rating is compromised.
- Corroded or seized roller assemblies on Estate sliding glass doors. Orlando humidity is relentless. Un-lubricated rollers rust, then bind, then seize. A sliding door that scrapes and sticks is almost always a roller problem, and leaving it just makes the track wear unevenly until the door won’t seal at all.
- Improperly flashed CGI door frames on stucco-over-wood-frame homes. This is the big one in newer Orlando subdivisions. Frames set directly into stucco with no back-dam or sill flashing let wind-driven rain bypass the whole assembly. We’ve opened walls in Dr. Phillips and found wet sheathing and rotten jack studs behind a window that looked perfectly fine from the outside.
- Leaking around fixed windows during fast-moving afternoon storms. Not a steady drizzle leak. A specific, wind-driven leak that shows up only when the storm moves through quickly. That’s a flashing failure, and it’s repairable without replacing the glass if it’s caught early enough.
CGI Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Orlando Bathroom Remodeling and window work that doesn’t apply up in Jacksonville or over in Tampa. The post-1980s suburban homes in planned communities like Hunter’s Creek and MetroWest were built as fast as the land could be platted, and the standard window installation method was stucco-over-wood-frame with flush-mount frames. CGI windows, which are built to exact flush-mount tolerances, often went in with no sill flashing and no back-dam. That means every heavy afternoon thunderstorm pushes water behind the stucco at the window perimeter, and the water has nowhere to go but into the rough opening. By the time you see a stain on the drywall, the framing underneath has been wet for months. Our standard fix is a through-flashing retrofit and back-dam installation before the new unit goes in, not just a swap-and-caulk job. That’s the Orlando-specific part, and it’s why a simple window replacement here turns into framing repair more often than people expect.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We work on the full residential CGI lineup: Estate Collection impact windows, Classic Guard impact windows, Estate Collection sliding glass doors, and the Commercial Series storefront and curtain wall for small commercial storefronts around Orlando. Our parts approach is straightforward. For units worth saving, we source OEM replacement parts: sash balances, weatherstripping, rollers, and hardware, through our independent supplier network so the fit and impact rating stay exact. When a unit is beyond repair, we walk you through the decision: full-frame replacement versus insert, and we install new CGI or comparable impact-rated units without inventing a manufacturer warranty we can’t back. We also handle the broader Orlando service area for window replacement, impact window installation, and roof repair work tied to storm damage around window and door openings.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Orlando
Yes, and faster than you’d expect. Orlando’s daily humidity and afternoon thunderstorms put constant moisture and UV stress on weatherstripping, so it compresses, tears, and loses its seal years before the glass or frame fails. A window that’s five years old here can have weatherstripping that looks a decade old. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll tell you if it’s a quick weatherstrip swap or something deeper.
It’s usually corroded or seized roller assemblies. Orlando’s humidity rusts the rollers, then the track starts wearing unevenly, and the door binds. Dirt makes it worse, but the root cause is almost always the rollers. We replace them with OEM-grade parts so the door glides and seals properly again. Get a free estimate before the track wears to the point of needing replacement.
Sometimes, yes. If the frame and hardware are still sound, a glass-only replacement can work, but the interlayer delamination usually means the impact rating is already compromised, so the replacement has to match the original rating. We source the correct laminated unit and do the glass swap without pulling the whole frame when that’s the right call. For an exact answer on your unit, call (850) 920-7745.
That’s wind-driven rain finding a flashing path. Steady drizzle falls mostly straight down and drains off the stucco surface. A fast-moving Orlando thunderstorm pushes rain sideways at the window perimeter, and if there’s no back-dam or sill flashing behind the frame, that water gets driven into the wall cavity. The fix is a flashing retrofit, not more caulk. Call (850) 920-7745 to have us look at it.
No. Worn weatherstripping is one of the cheapest CGI repairs we do, and it’s almost never a reason to replace a whole window. The job takes under an hour per sash in most cases. Call (850) 920-7745 for a quote, and we’ll tell you if weatherstripping is all it needs or if there’s more going on behind the frame.
