CGI Construction in Plano, TX | Penhallow Remodeling Dallas
We provide independent CGI window, door, and roofing service across Plano, TX, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know the real story behind most CGI problems here. The one thing that separates us from a generic window crew is this: we understand how Plano’s expansive clay soil moves under post-tension slabs and slowly throws door frames and window openings out of square. If your CGI Targa slider binds or your Sentinel window has fogged, call us at (940) 204-5368 and we’ll give you a written diagnosis and a written price before anything gets ordered.
Why Plano Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Trevor Nash started swinging a framing hammer in a neighbor’s garage around age fourteen, trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and has spent years doing everything from foundation repairs to our Bathroom Remodeling in Plano and full kitchen gut-outs. What that means for your CGI windows and doors is simple: we approach every service call the way a carpenter looks at a rough opening. We check the frame first, not the hardware. Plano homeowners keep calling us back because we explain why a roller failed, we quote a number before we pick up a tool, and we stand behind the repair in writing for a full year.
We also show up when we say we will. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, and a live person answers our phones 24/7. No answering service, no voicemail maze. When a west-facing Sentinel window fogs in August or a Targa door refuses to glide before a holiday gathering, you reach a human who can schedule the call.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Plano
- CGI Targa sliding doors that bind or drag. Plano’s clay soil shrinks during hot, dry summers and swells after spring rains. That cyclical movement shifts post-tension slabs enough to pull sliding door frames out of square, so the rollers bind, the track scores, and the door becomes a two-handed wrestling match. We re-square the opening, install sealed-bearing rollers, and replace scored track sections.
- Sentinel Series impact windows with fogged glass. Constant UV exposure on Plano’s west-facing elevations eventually breaks down the edge seal on insulated glass units. Moisture creeps in, the pane fogs, and clarity never comes back. We replace the insulated glass unit with genuine CGI glass when impact rating is at stake.
- Estate Collection hinged patio doors that sag at the top hinge. Years of opening and closing, combined with seasonal frame movement, pull the top hinge screws loose and let the door leaf scrape the threshold. We rebuild the hinge mortise, reset the door, and restore the weather seal.
- Aluminum frame pitting and chalking. West-facing CGI frames take the full force of Plano’s July and August sun, plus the occasional hailstorm. Aluminum pits, chalk, and loses its finish. We can repaint or clad the frames to match your HOA’s approved color spec.
- Locking hardware that no longer aligns. When a door or window frame shifts even an eighth of an inch, the lock points stop lining up with the keepers. Homeowners think the lock is broken. Often the frame just moved. We realign the panel and replace worn hardware only when it actually needs it.
CGI Service in Plano: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Plano’s housing stock is overwhelmingly brick-veneer with composition shingle roofs, built mainly from the 1980s through the 2000s, and most of those homes sit on post-tension slab foundations. That foundation type is strong, but it is not rigid. The expansive clay beneath it shrinks in a Plano drought summer and swells during heavy spring rain. Over twenty or thirty years, that movement works on every opening in the house: window frames rack slightly, sliding door tracks twist, patio door thresholds drop. We see this most clearly in neighborhoods like Willow Bend and Prestonwood, where post-tension slabs from the 1990s have now lived through three decades of North Texas weather cycles.
What this means for a CGI owner is that failed hardware is frequently a symptom, not the disease. The rollers did not wear out because they were cheap. They wore out because the frame moved and put a side load on them for five years. If we simply swap the rollers and call it done, the same thing happens again in eighteen months. Our crews correct the opening first, then replace the hardware once. That is the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair that returns.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Plano
We service the full CGI residential lineup, including Sentinel Series Impact Windows, Estate Collection Hinged Patio Doors, Targa Series Sliding Glass Doors, and Commercial Series Storefront Windows for Plano storefronts and small offices. Our parts approach is deliberately plain: when structural integrity or impact rating is on the line, we use genuine CGI replacement parts, especially glass, frames, and locking hardware. For consumables like rollers, screens, and weatherstripping, we often recommend higher-quality aftermarket parts that outlast what the factory shipped. We stock common rollers, seals, and track sections locally so most Plano calls are a single visit, not a two-week wait for a part truck from Florida. And we’re an independent service provider, which means we tell you the truth about repair versus replace without a manufacturer telling us what to say.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Plano
Yes. Fogged glass means the edge seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. We replace the glass unit itself, not the whole window frame, and we use genuine CGI glass when the impact rating matters. Call (940) 204-5368 for a written price on your specific window.
Yes. We keep a local library of approved frame colors, mullion patterns, and glass types for Plano subdivisions like Willow Bend and Prestonwood, and we can source factory-matched paint or cladding before permitting begins. We’ll handle the HOA submittal so the replacement matches the original CGI product.
Yes, and this is one of the most common calls we get in Plano. We rebuild the top hinge mortise, reset the door leaf, and restore the weather seal. If we find the frame itself has shifted, we correct the opening first so the repair holds.
We’ll always quote the repair first and tell you honestly whether it’s worth doing. A chipped pane, a failed seal, or worn weatherstripping is usually repairable. A corroded frame or a failed impact rating is another conversation. Either way, you get a written price before any work starts.
Yes, as long as the frame is intact and the impact rating can be preserved with the right replacement glass. We’ll inspect the unit, confirm the glass spec, and quote you a number. Call (940) 204-5368 for a free estimate.
