CGI Construction in Orlando, FL | Sawyer Remodel Orlando
We handle full CGI construction service across Orlando as an independent crew, no factory affiliation. What separates our work here is simple: we know how CGI windows, doors, and roof systems fail on slab homes in drained wetlands and on older crawlspace bungalows. If you need impact window service, a roof replacement, or storm damage repair done on CGI products, call (850) 809-0306 and we’ll give you a written price before lifting a tool.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI products are all over Orlando, from Avalon Park block homes to 1920s bungalows in College Park. We work on them daily, which means we’ve seen what factory details look like after ten summers of 95-degree humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. Luca Romano leads our crew, and he’s spent nearly two decades doing structural and finish work across Central Florida after training at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. That background matters when your CGI window has stucco cracking at the corners and you need to know whether it’s a seal issue or a slab problem. We show up on time, quote the job in writing, and we don’t pretend to be a CGI authorized dealer. We’re better at telling you the truth about what your windows actually need.
You’ll also find our full CGI sales & service details useful if you’re deciding between repair and replacement.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Stucco cracking around window bucks on slab foundations. Expansive clay under Orlando’s concrete slabs moves with rain and drought cycles. When the slab shifts, the stucco around CGI window frames catches the stress and cracks at the corners. We remove the cracked section, inspect the window buck for movement, and repair it so the crack doesn’t return in the next dry spell.
- Frame seal degradation from constant humidity. CGI impact windows carry tough ratings, but the factory sealant around the glass eventually gives way in Orlando’s nine-month humidity season. You’ll notice condensation fogging between panes. That’s a seal failure, and we replace the insulated glass unit rather than telling you to live with it.
- Sill flashing leaks on sliding glass doors in older crawlspace homes. Bungalows in College Park and Thornton Park sit on wood framing over crawlspaces, and once the foundation settles a half inch, the original sill flashing on a CGI slider starts letting water in. We pull the door, reset the flashing, and add a proper sill pan so water goes out, not under your flooring.
- Hurricane tie-downs loosening on CGI roof systems. Those tie-downs take a beating every June through September when afternoon storms hit with 50-mph gusts. Loose tie-downs mean your roof is one bad thunderstorm from uplift damage. We re-tighten and inspect them as part of storm prep work.
- Aluminum frame pitting from groundwater wicking through sills. In Avalon Park and Lake Nona, the water table sits close to the surface. Moisture migrates up through the slab and attacks the bottom of aluminum CGI frames. You’ll see white pitting and powdering. We address the vapor barrier, not just the frame, which is the only fix that lasts.
CGI Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something a generic Orlando page won’t tell you: master-planned communities like Avalon Park and Lake Nona were built on drained wetlands. The water table sits high enough that excavation work regularly hits groundwater, and slab foundations there wick moisture upward through the concrete. That moisture hits the bottom of your CGI window and door frames, which is why we see frame pitting and seal failures in ten-year-old homes that should have another decade of life. The fix on these lots starts with a sill pan upgrade and a vapor barrier check before we even think about resetting the window. Higher-elevation areas like Winter Park and College Park rarely need that layer, but skip it on a Lake Nona slab and you’ll be back in three years with the same rotted sill. Our crew replaced a CGI Full-View impact window at a 1990s block home in Avalon Park after the original aluminum frame showed pitting from groundwater wicking through the sill. We chipped out the old stucco, fit a new sill pan over the vapor barrier, and reinstalled the window with polyurethane sealant. The homeowner passed a post-installation water test before afternoon storms rolled in.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We work on the full CGI lineup that’s common across Orlando: the Full-View Impact Series, the Estate Collection, the Sentry Impact line, and the 850 Series. When parts are needed, we use factory-equivalent aftermarket components like replacement sashes, weatherstripping, and seal kits. They perform to the same spec without the factory price premium. For units over 15 years old or frames showing corrosion, we’ll say it straight: replacement beats another patch job. And we don’t stock cheap generics. If a CGI window is going into your home, it gets parts that fit it, not whatever’s on sale at the supply house.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Orlando
Avalon Park sits on drained wetlands with a high water table, so we install a sill pan and vapor barrier to stop groundwater from wicking into the frame. Winter Park is higher elevation and typically doesn’t need that extra layer. Skipping it in Avalon Park means frame pitting within a few years. Call (850) 809-0306 for a written assessment of your lot’s conditions.
Depends on the damage. A cracked pane can often be replaced with a new insulated glass unit without pulling the whole frame. A bent frame or failed seal means full replacement. We’ll tell you which one your window needs after we look at it, and the quote is free.
Expansive clay soil shifts under slab foundations with wet and dry cycles, and the stucco around window bucks cracks as the structure moves. It’s a foundation-to-frame stress issue, not a stucco problem. We repair the stucco and check the window buck for movement so the fix actually holds.
We recommend an annual check before June, especially after a rough hurricane season. Orlando’s summer thunderstorms put genuine uplift stress on roofs, and loose tie-downs turn a minor storm into a roof failure. It’s a quick inspection that can save you a five-figure replacement.
Yes. College Park bungalows need a different approach: wood-frame construction, crawlspace foundations, and often tighter window openings. We’ve done plenty of Orlando Bathroom Remodeling and CGI installs there, and we handle the retrofitting without butchering the original trim. Estimates are free, call (850) 809-0306.
