Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

CGI Windows & Doors in Dallas, TX | Meridian Windows and Doors Dallas
We’re an independent CGI service provider working across Dallas, and the short answer is this: we repair, maintain, and replace every major CGI line, from 1970s StormGuard aluminum to current Estate Impact Vinyl, using OEM-compatible parts and Dallas-code laminated glass. What makes our CGI work here different is that we know how clay soil movement and hail affect these specific frames, so we check the slab before we ever order a roller. We’re not factory-authorized, and we’ll tell you that straight. Call (325) 309-2639 for a written estimate.
Why Dallas Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI builds a solid window, but Dallas tests it differently than coastal Florida ever will. We work on original StormGuard units in postwar brick ranches and newer Estate Collection installs in North Dallas additions every week. That repetition gives us field notes nobody writes down except the crew that does the work. Elliot Vance, who runs Meridian Windows and Doors Dallas, learned this trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent close to two decades installing and replacing windows and doors across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. His rule is simple: measure it right the first time, and the rest of the job takes care of itself.
When you call us for CGI sales & service, you get a crew that knows which balances fit a 1982 StormGuard double hung and which weatherstripping actually holds up to a Dallas August. We stock OEM-equivalent glazing beads, balances, and weatherstripping for common models locally, so we’re not waiting on a freight truck while your air conditioning leaks out. The price goes on paper before we start, and it does not move at the door. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it fails within the year, we come back at no charge.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Dallas
- Fogged insulated glass in Sentinel and Estate units. Dallas humidity plus years of UV exposure breaks down the seal, and once moisture gets between the panes, the glass is done. We deglaze the sash and replace the unit with Dallas-code laminated glass. In most cases the frame stays.
- Racked patio doors on shifting clay. Slab-on-grade homes move. A half-inch shift is enough to bind the interlock on a CGI StormGuard patio door so tight you need two hands and a knee to open it. We gauge the slab before ordering rollers, because replacing a door that will bind again next drought is a waste of your money.
- Hail-damaged meeting rails and bent aluminum. A spring hailstorm does not always break glass. It dents the meeting rail, bends screen frames, and leaves dime-sized holes in screens that mosquitoes find fast. Adjusters miss these. We don’t.
- Summer sticking on Estate Collection vinyl. Vinyl expands in heat. If the sash was installed too tight, a 100-degree Dallas afternoon makes it bind. The fix is usually a balance adjustment or a slight sash trim, not a new window.
- Corroded StormGuard aluminum with broken thermal breaks. After 40 years, the aluminum frame on original StormGuard units can corrode at the corners. Once the thermal break fails, condensation and heat transfer get worse every year. At that point we recommend full frame replacement rather than patching a shell that’s already past its service life.
CGI Service in Dallas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Dallas that a generic CGI service page will not tell you. Most of our housing stock is slab-on-grade brick veneer, built between the 1950s and 1980s on expansive clay. That clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it doesn’t, and the slab moves with it. Along Loop 12, where the postwar ranches sit on some of the most reactive soil in the county, we see CGI StormGuard patio doors racked to the point where the interlock binds and the door won’t latch. If you just swap the rollers and walk away, the door binds again next drought. That’s why we check the slab elevation before ordering parts. It’s the difference between a fix that lasts and a callback that doesn’t. A meridian is a fixed line you measure everything against. That is what the name means and how we run every install.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Dallas
We service the full CGI range that shows up in Dallas homes: the Estate Collection, Estate Impact Vinyl, Sentinel Series, and the older StormGuard aluminum line. For parts, we follow a repair-vs-replace rule. We repair sashes and hardware whenever the structure is sound. When it’s not, we say so. We use OEM-equivalent components for common models, and for any glass replacement, we use only impact-rated laminated glass that meets Dallas code. No shortcuts on glass, ever. For StormGuard units with corroded aluminum or broken thermal breaks, we recommend full frame replacement and we’ll show you why on the job site before you spend a dollar.
CGI Service Pricing in Dallas
Pricing depends on what we find, but here’s a straight idea of what Dallas homeowners pay for common CGI work:
- Insulated glass replacement (fogged or hail-broken sash): $180 – $380 per sash, depending on size and glass type.
- Balance replacement on a double hung: $90 – $160 per window, including parts and labor.
- Weatherstripping and interlock adjustment on a patio door: $120 – $250.
- Full frame replacement on a corroded StormGuard unit: $800 – $1,600 per opening, including tear-out, new frame, and Dallas-code laminated glass.
The price we quote is the price you pay. That’s not a slogan. It’s a written number on a piece of paper before any work starts. Call (325) 309-2639 and we’ll send a tech to measure and write your estimate. Free, and it comes with no obligation.

FAQs – CGI Windows & Doors in Dallas
Yes, in most cases we replace just the glass. If the aluminum frame is still square and the corners are not corroded, we deglaze the sash, install a new Dallas-code laminated insulated glass unit, and re-glaze it clean. The exception is when the hailstorm also bent the frame or the thermal break is already gone. At that point, a new glass pack would be throwing good money into a dead frame, and we’ll tell you that and show you why. Call (325) 309-2639 for a free inspection and a written quote either way.
Vinyl expands in heat, and Dallas summers give it a reason to. If the sash was fabricated or installed with clearance that’s too tight, the frame swells just enough to bind on a 100-degree afternoon. The fix is usually a balance adjustment or a slight trim to the sash edge, not a full replacement. A tech will check the reveal around the sash before touching anything, so you know what’s actually wrong.
Once a seal fails and moisture gets between the panes, resealing is not a real repair. The desiccant inside the spacer is saturated and the glass has condensation permanently etched into it. We replace the insulated glass unit with a new Dallas-code laminated unit and keep the original frame whenever it’s sound. That’s the honest, long-term fix.
Check the screens first. Dime-sized holes let in mosquitoes and humid air, and insurance adjusters routinely miss them. Then run your hand along the door threshold and the bottom sweep. Hail can dent the threshold and tear the sweep, which means water and air get under the door. Also check that the door still latches cleanly. If it sticks or the interlock binds, hail may have shifted the slab or the hinges. We’ll check all of it on a service call. Estimates are free, and the phone is answered by a live person.
It depends on the frame. Sentinel double hungs have enough depth in the sash to accept laminated glass in many cases, which means you can upgrade to impact-rated glass without replacing the whole window. Older, thinner aluminum profiles usually can’t take the thicker laminated unit. A quick measurement tells us which side you’re on. Call (325) 309-2639 and we’ll check it in person.
