CGI Construction in Miami Beach, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Miami
We provide independent CGI construction service across Miami Beach, from South Beach condos to the residential streets of North Beach. The thing that sets our CGI work apart here is simple: we know what salt air, humidity, and the Art Deco Historic District do to impact windows and doors, and we plan for it before the first fastener comes out. If your CGI windows are fogged, corroded, or hard to open, call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you what’s happening and what it costs to fix. No factory referral runaround, no waiting on a rep three counties away.
Why Miami Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Our team has been working on coastal residential buildings since 2004, and Isaac Pruett, our General Contractor - Miami Beach, has spent the better part of two decades pulling failed window frames out of oceanfront concrete. He grew up in Los Angeles and earned his construction trade certificate from LA Trade-Technical College before moving his operation to South Florida, where he and our crew have been servicing Miami neighborhoods for well over a decade. That background matters when you’re dealing with CGI impact windows in Miami Beach, because knowing how a frame was built in the first place is half of knowing why it failed.
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer. That means we answer to you, not to a brand rep’s calendar. We stock OEM-compatible components locally, and we won’t make you wait for a corporate service window to open. You get a name, a photo, and a written price before any work starts.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Miami Beach
- Salt-air pitting and failed anodized finishes on CGI aluminum frames: Oceanfront high-rises along Collins Avenue and West Avenue put more salt on a window frame in five years than an inland building sees in thirty. The anodized layer breaks down, then the raw aluminum starts flaking white. We strip, treat, and refinish frames when the structure is sound, or we replace them when the corrosion has worked into the extrusion itself.
- Blown impact glass seals causing interior fogging: Older Art Deco apartment buildings from the 1930s still carry original CGI replacements installed twenty years ago. Once the argon seal fails, you get permanent fog between the panes, and the impact rating is compromised. We replace the insulated glass unit with OEM laminated glass rated for Miami-Dade wind loads.
- Corroded roller tracks and broken balance springs in CGI sliding doors: Storm surge exposure on ground-floor units near the bay does this fast. The tracks pit, the rollers grind, and the door gets heavy. We rebuild the track system with OEM components and check the balance springs, because a sliding door that drops suddenly is both a security risk and a liability.
- Warped or delaminating stiles on CGI entry doors: Direct sun and humidity cycles on west-facing doors in Mid-Beach cause the stile veneer to lift and the core to swell. Once the stiles delaminate, the door loses its structural plane and the impact rating goes with it. We usually replace the door slab and re-hang it on the existing frame when the frame is still square.
- Hardware seizures from salt and moisture: Multipoint locks, hinges, and operator cranks on CGI casement windows seize up fast in Miami Beach. We replace hardware sets with OEM CGI parts rather than spraying WD-40 and pretending it’s fixed.
CGI Service in Miami Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the Miami Beach specific fact most contractors outside the island don’t plan for: the Historic Preservation Board requires replacement windows and doors on contributing structures within the Art Deco District to match original sightlines and materials. That means many CGI installations in South Beach cannot use standard off-the-shelf models. We have to order custom slimline frames or specialty finishes that keep the original 1930s profile while meeting current impact code, which is why Miami Beach Bathroom Remodeling and window work alike require deep local expertise. On a 1939 apartment building on Euclid Avenue, our crew replaced six corroded CGI Sentinel casement windows that had lost their impact rating. We pulled the old frames, found salt-crevice corrosion in the sills, and rebuilt the openings with new OEM CGI frames in a custom bronze anodize to satisfy the Historic Preservation Board. The owner now has impact-rated windows that look period-correct from the street.
The coastal, hurricane-prone location also means elevated mechanical systems and reinforced concrete are standard here, not upgrades. When we install or repair CGI windows in flood zones, we account for sill height, drainage plane continuity, and the FEMA elevation certificate already on file. It changes how we flash and seal, and it’s why we pull permits on every structural CGI job in Miami Beach.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Miami Beach
Our crews work on the full residential and light-commercial CGI lineup: CGI Sentinel Impact Windows, CGI Estate Collection Impact Doors, CGI Commercial Storefront Systems, and CGI Classic Casement & Awning Windows. We carry OEM CGI components where they matter most – laminated glass, frame extrusions, and multipoint hardware – because those parts are load-rated and impact-tested as a system. For cosmetic trim and interior stops, we offer aftermarket profiles that match the original extrusions without the factory markup. If you need CGI sales & service, we’re the crew already working on the island every week.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Miami Beach
Here’s what CGI work costs in Miami Beach, based on what we see on the island week to week.
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $9,440 – $29,500 |
| Window Replacement | $5,310 – $17,700 |
| Emergency & Storm Damage | $470 – $2,125 |
Price moves with the window count, the frame condition, and whether the building sits inside the historic district. A full replacement on a contributing Art Deco building costs more than a standard condo swap because the frames have to be custom-matched. Our written estimate lays out every line item before you commit, and we don’t change the number once the work starts. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free estimate and a straight number.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Miami Beach
Yes, but only if the replacement windows match the original sightlines and materials, and exterior work on contributing structures in the Miami Beach Architectural District requires Historic Preservation Board review. Standard CGI models often fail the sightline test, so we order custom slimline frames or specialty finishes that look correct from the street. We handle the board submission paperwork as part of the job. Call (850) 780-8123 if you want to know whether your building qualifies.
CGI aluminum frames perform well if maintained, but the coastal salt air attacks the anodized finish faster here than anywhere inland. Oceanfront high-rises on Collins Avenue see pitting in five to eight years. Fogged glass seals and seized hardware follow. We recommend annual hardware lubrication and a visual frame check every two years for Miami Beach buildings within a half-mile of the ocean.
Repair covers what’s still structurally sound: replacing a blown insulated glass unit, swapping a seized operator crank, or rebuilding a corroded roller track. We use OEM CGI components for anything load-rated or impact-tested. Replacement is the call when the frame extrusion is corroded through, the stiles are delaminating, or the seal failure has compromised the impact rating. We’ll tell you plainly which one you need, because we’re independent, not protecting a factory quota.
Yes. Any structural CGI installation in Miami Beach requires a permit, and flood-zone constraints affect sill height, flashing details, and how the window ties into the building’s waterproofing and elevation certificate. We pull permits and pass inspections on every structural CGI job. For a replacement in a historic building, the Historic Preservation Board review runs alongside the building permit. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free estimate that includes the permitting scope.
Usually yes. When only a few frames have failed, we source the matching CGI extrusion profile and finish from the remaining units, then replace just the damaged windows. The challenge is finish matching on older frames where UV and salt have shifted the color. We do sample matching before we order, so the new units blend with the old. It costs less than a full building replacement and keeps the board happy.
