CGI Construction in Dallas, TX | Mason Remodeling Co Dallas
CGI windows and siding take a beating in Dallas. Between hail storms that peel roofing off in minutes and clay soil that shifts foundations by inches, even well-built CGI products eventually need real attention. We’re an independent Dallas contractor providing CGI repair and replacement across the metro, and the thing that makes our work different here is simple: we’ve seen how these exact windows fail in these exact conditions, and we tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the cheaper move long-term. Call (432) 302-8761 for a free estimate.
Why Dallas Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
As an independent General Contractor in Dallas, our crews see CGI windows and siding in hundreds of North Texas homes, from original 1980s installations in East Dallas to new-construction tear-outs in Coppell and Addison. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated, and we like it that way. It means when a CGI Sentinel window has a failed seal, we can quote you an OEM glazing unit when it’s available, or a quality aftermarket option when the wait or price doesn’t make sense.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and learned the trade at LA Trade-Technical College, then spent years running jobs across Southern California before bringing that same methodical approach to Dallas. He still walks every job himself before the first tool comes out, because a plan on paper and a house with twenty years of Dallas weather in it are two different things. You should know who is coming, what it costs, and what happens if something goes wrong before we ever pick up a tool.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Dallas
- Fogged insulated glass units (IGUs) in 1990s-era CGI Sentinel windows. After decades of Dallas heat and humidity, the seals fail and mineral deposits cloud the glass. We replace the IGU when the frame is still square, which keeps cost down substantially. If the frame has moved, we say so.
- Compromised glazing beads and weatherstripping on CGI Targa windows after hailstorms. Water intrudes around the frames, and once it starts, it does not stop on its own. We re-glaze and reseal, then check the frame for racking before we call the job done.
- Sticking or misaligned sashes on CGI Estate Series windows in slab-on-grade homes. Foundation movement from Dallas clay soil racks frames out of square, and forcing the sash back into place only masks the problem. We reset what we can and recommend replacement when the frame geometry is too far gone.
- Corrosion at weep holes and sill tracks on older CGI aluminum frames. Alkaline soil runoff and frequent pressure washing accelerate oxidation. We clean, treat, and where needed, install upgraded sill components that shed water better.
- Storm damage assessments after hail or high-wind events. We document what’s compromised, give you a written line-item scope, and handle the repair or replacement without drama. Insurance paperwork is part of what we do.
CGI Service in Dallas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Dallas sits in Tarrant County’s Hail Alley. We average multiple severe hail events per year, and the spring storms don’t discriminate between a roof, a car, or a CGI window. Impact-rated glass holds up far better than standard annealed glass, but the frames, gaskets, and seals around that glass take the same beating. We see it every season: windows that survived the glass impact test but now leak at the corners, or sashes that bind because the framing shifted during a storm that also rattled the foundation. And here’s the part nobody tells you: Dallas’s patchwork of incorporated and unincorporated county areas means permit requirements and inspection rigor vary by ZIP code. A window swap in one neighborhood clears permit in a day; the same job three miles east might trigger a structural review because the house sits in a municipal utility district with stricter codes. We navigate both sides of that line weekly. The wrong repair for your part of Dallas costs more than the window.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Dallas
We work across the CGI line: Sentinel Series impact windows, Estate Collection impact windows, Targa Series impact windows, and the Commercial Series storefront and curtain wall. Sentinel and Estate are what we see most in Dallas homes; Targa and Commercial show up in newer construction and mixed-use buildings. We stock and source OEM CGI components when they’re available, plus high-quality aftermarket glazing, gaskets, rollers, and balance systems for faster turnaround. For frames that have racked beyond tolerance due to Dallas clay soil movement, we’re straight with you: replacement is usually more cost-effective than forcing a repair that will fail again. Our full CGI sales & service expertise lives on our brand page, and we’re happy to walk you through what’s worth fixing versus replacing before you spend a dollar.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Dallas
In most of Dallas, yes, a permit is required for window replacement, but the specifics depend on whether your property sits in an incorporated city area or an unincorporated county pocket. The City of Dallas issues permits for most residential window work; some municipal utility districts in the D/FW fringe add their own inspection layer. We pull permits on every job where they’re required and make sure inspections pass before we call it done.
We can usually match CGI frame colors, especially on Sentinel and Estate lines where the standard finishes are still in production. For discontinued colors on older frames, we’ll source the closest available match or recommend replacing all windows on that elevation so the difference doesn’t catch your eye every time you pull into the driveway. Call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible for your specific window.
CGI warranties transfer in some cases and not in others, and the terms vary by product line and installation date. We can’t adjudicate warranty claims, but we can help you identify your window model, locate the manufacturing code, and document the failure in the format a warranty claim requires. We’ll also give you the repair cost regardless, so you can weigh the warranty path against just getting it done.
Impact-rated glass will survive impacts that shatter standard windows, but no product is hail-proof. We’ve pulled CGI windows after severe storms where the glass stayed intact while the frames and seals failed. That’s the realistic answer. What matters after a storm is getting the frame checked, not just admiring the unbroken glass. Call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll inspect the full assembly, not just the pane.
Retrofitting non-impact frames to meet current codes is rarely cost-effective. The frames, glazing channels, and anchoring systems on older CGI windows weren’t designed for impact-rated glass, and the retrofit often costs close to full replacement while leaving you with a weaker assembly. For Dallas homes, we usually recommend replacing the affected windows with proper impact units. A free estimate will show you both numbers side by side, and you can decide with real figures in front of you. Call (432) 302-8761.
On a 1970s slab ranch near Lakewood, we replaced eight original CGI Sentinel windows that had fogged IGUs and bent frames from a 2021 hailstorm. Our crew pulled the old units, reset the openings to square, and installed new CGI Estate Series impact windows with upgraded weatherstripping to handle the shifted foundation. No more drafts, no more stuck sashes. That’s the difference between swapping glass and fixing the problem.
