CGI Construction in Doral, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Miami
We provide independent CGI service across Doral, from single-window replacements to full roof and impact-window remodels by a General Contractor in Doral. What makes our CGI work here different is simple: we build and repair against Doral’s reclaimed Everglades soil, block construction, and salt-laden rain, not just against the manufacturer’s spec sheet. We’re not authorized by CGI, and we don’t pretend to be. We’re contractors who install and service their products every week, and we’ll tell you straight what holds up and what doesn’t. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free estimate.
Why Doral Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most CGI failures we see in Doral aren’t the window’s fault. They’re installation details that didn’t account for how this city actually behaves: mucky soil that settles, afternoon thunderstorms that hammer north-facing elevations, and humidity that never quits. We’ve been pulling apart CGI frames in Doral long enough to know which weep holes clog first, which gaskets turn brittle by year eight, and which sealant joints fail on western exposures.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, earned his construction trade certificate from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on every phase of residential builds before moving his operation to South Florida. He’s been working Miami neighborhoods for well over a decade, including projects throughout Coconut Grove. That experience shows up in how we quote: we walk the job, read the site, and give you a written price before any work starts. Not an estimate that grows. A number.
We use genuine CGI replacement hardware and glass packs when structural or impact-rated integrity is at stake. For non-structural trim and weather seals, we fit quality aftermarket equivalents that match the factory profile. If a frame extrusion is pitted or the corner welds are cracked, we replace the unit. We don’t patch a compromised CGI frame and call it good.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Doral
- White chalky corrosion on aluminum frames. Doral’s humidity and salt-laden rainfall attack aluminum at the weep holes first. We see it most on north-facing elevations of older homes near the Turnpike. The fix is often new marine-grade weatherstripping and unclogged weep paths, but if the extrusion itself is pitted, that’s a replacement, not a repair.
- Worn weatherstripping and gaskets on pre-2010 CGI windows. Homes built before 2010 often have original gaskets that have hardened into plastic. During Doral’s afternoon thunderstorms, air and water push right past them. We replace with factory-profile seals and adjust the sash compression so the window actually closes tight.
- Fogged insulated glass units on western exposures. Intense afternoon sun on western-facing CGI windows cycles thermal stress through the sealant joints. Once the seal fails, the glass fogs. We replace the IGU with a genuine CGI glass pack and re-glaze to factory spec.
- Sagging or misaligned CGI door panels in gated communities. Doral sits on former Everglades marshland. That mucky soil settles unevenly, and we regularly see CGI Targa door panels that no longer meet the frame squarely. We re-hang, re-shim, and re-level the threshold so the door seals and locks correctly.
- Roof-to-window transitions during remodels. When we replace a roof or convert a tub to a shower in Doral, the window openings often need re-flashing. Older block homes have stucco that’s absorbed decades of moisture. We tie the new CGI unit into the wall and roof flashing so water never finds a path between the two systems.
CGI Service in Doral: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Doral sits directly inside the Miami-Dade County High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the HVHZ. That’s the strictest wind-load and missile-impact testing standard in the country. Every CGI impact product we install here has to meet it. Drive a few miles north into Broward County, to Miramar, and the code is less stringent despite the distance being almost nothing. What that means for your CGI windows and doors in Doral is this: the product you have was built for this zone, but only if it was installed and maintained to this zone’s standard. We regularly find CGI units in Doral homes that were installed correctly years ago but have since degraded in ways that compromise their HVHZ rating. A window that passed testing in 2009 may not pass today if the glazing bead is corroded, the weatherstripping is shot, or the frame has shifted with settling soil. When we service your CGI equipment, we’re not just making it work again. We’re making sure it still does what the HVHZ code demands.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Doral
We service and install across CGI’s core residential and commercial lines: the Sentinel Impact Windows, the Estate Collection Impact Windows, the Targa Series Impact Doors, and CGI Commercial Storefront Systems. For structural or impact-rated parts, we source genuine CGI hardware and glass packs from South Florida distributors, so there’s no long wait for parts to ship from out of state. Non-structural trim and weather seals we match with quality aftermarket equivalents that fit the factory profile exactly.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Doral
Only if the window was installed or re-installed to current HVHZ standards and every component, from the glass pack to the anchoring, is intact. If we remodel around an existing CGI window and discover degraded seals, corroded glazing beads, or shifting frames during your Doral Bathroom Remodeling project, we’ll flag it before we close up the wall. A window that met code in 2005 doesn’t automatically meet it today. Call (850) 780-8123 if you want us to inspect yours before a remodel.
That white chalk is aluminum corrosion, and in Doral it’s almost always caused by constant humidity and salt-laden rain attacking the weep holes and glazing beads. The weep holes clog with muck from Doral’s reclaimed marshland soil, water sits against the aluminum, and corrosion starts. We clean the weep paths, replace the damaged weatherstripping, and if the extrusion is pitted beyond surface level, we recommend replacement. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you which direction makes sense for your frames.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common things we do on Doral remodels. Converting a tub to a walk-in shower often opens the wall anyway, so it’s the right time to enlarge a window opening and upgrade to a larger CGI impact unit. We frame the new opening, tie the flashing into the existing block and stucco, and install the window to HVHZ standard. You can see our CGI service in Miami page for how we handle similar conversions across the county.
CGI’s manufacturer warranty covers the product, not the installation labor. When we do a repair or replacement, we’re not authorized by CGI, so the manufacturer’s product warranty remains with the product itself if it’s still in force. Our workmanship is covered by our own written guarantee, with a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost. You get both things in writing before we start.
In Doral’s humidity and salt air, expect 15 to 20 years from a properly installed CGI impact window before the glass seals start to fail on western exposures or the weatherstripping loses its compression. North-facing units near the Turnpike may show frame corrosion sooner. If your windows are pre-2010 and you’re seeing fogging, drafts, or chalky frames, start budgeting now rather than after a storm reveals the problem.
