CGI Construction in Katy, TX | Penhallow Remodeling Houston
We install, service, and repair CGI impact windows and patio doors across Katy, TX – and what sets our work apart is that we know exactly what the Katy HOA boards and clay soil demand before we touch your opening. We’re not a manufacturer storefront. We’re an independent remodeler that has pulled and reset hundreds of CGI units in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, and Old Katy. If you need a CGI window replaced or a sliding door that binds corrected, call (254) 527-5340 for a straight answer and a written price.
Why Katy Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Trevor Nash has been on Houston-area job sites long enough to know that a straight wall is harder than it looks – and a CGI window that still operates cleanly after Katy’s clay does its seasonal shrink-and-swell is harder still. Our crew treats every CGI service call the way we’d treat a Katy Bathroom Remodeling job: we explain the failure, show you the worn part, and put the price in writing before a single screw comes out. We’re not tied to CGI’s script, so we’ll tell you when a repair is worth it and when a sash replacement is the only honest call.
Katy homeowners call us because we answer the phone, show up inside the window we gave, and stand behind the work with a written guarantee – every job, no exceptions. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. And because we operate under the Kingswell standard since 2004, the price on day one is the price on the invoice. That’s not a slogan; it’s the rule we work under. When a repair fails inside a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Katy
- Warped or binding sashes on CGI Estate sliding doors. Katy’s expansive clay soil heaves with every wet-dry cycle, and that movement doesn’t stop at the foundation – it travels up through the frame and throws sliding door tracks out of square. A door that glided in June starts dragging by August. We reset the rough opening square with shims, replace the rollers, and bring the door back to factory tolerance.
- Fogging between panes on CGI Classic single-hung windows. Intense summer heat and UV exposure eventually kill the seal on an insulating glass unit, and once moisture gets between the panes, there’s no cleaning it out. We replace the failed sash outright – Katy’s humidity makes a reseal a temporary patch, and a comeback isn’t worth the savings.
- Hinged patio door panels dropping and scraping the threshold. Hurricane-remnant wind loads and humidity swings work hinges loose over time, and a panel that sags a quarter inch will gouge the threshold and wear the weatherstripping. We adjust or replace the hinge hardware and realign the panel so it closes without a shoulder behind it.
- Finish deterioration and pitting on CGI aluminum frames. In Katy’s newer master-planned communities, HOA-mandated stucco work can trap moisture against the window flange, which attacks the frame finish from behind. We catch it before through-corrosion sets in, then flash and seal the rough opening so the problem doesn’t repeat.
- Persistent air leakage and whistling around the sash. A window that whistles in a Cinco Ranch upstairs bonus room is usually a frame that’s no longer seated square – often from the same soil movement that cracked a nearby sidewalk. We pull the unit, reset the rough opening, and reinstall with new backer rod and sealant.
CGI Service in Katy: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Katy, any CGI window replacement on a home in Cinco Ranch or Cross Creek Ranch has to match the original frame color and grid pattern to the letter, or the HOA architectural review board sends the truck back. It doesn’t matter that the window works perfectly – if the bronze is a half-shade off or the prairie grid pattern is wrong, the project stalls. Every Katy contractor knows this rhythm: a new build in Cinco Ranch may require a stone-and-stucco elevation and a tile roof to pass review, while a remodel two miles away in Old Katy is a do-what-you-want zone. For CGI owners, that means the replacement window isn’t just a window – it’s an architectural submission. We keep a field guide of the standard CGI finishes and grid patterns used by Katy’s top production builders, so when we order your sash, we order it right the first time. That field guide has saved more Katy homeowners from a reorder fee than any tool in the truck.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Katy
We work on the CGI Estate Collection impact windows, Classic Collection aluminum windows, Estate hinged patio doors, and Estate sliding glass doors – the lines you’ll actually find in Katy’s production-built homes. When a part fails, we source OEM-grade CGI weatherstripping, rollers, and balances through our local glass and millwork suppliers. For discontinued trim or obsolete locks, we use name-brand aftermarket parts that match the original profile. On a failed insulating glass unit or a frame showing through-corrosion, we replace the sash – because Katy’s humidity and clay make a patch a temporary fix, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we don’t do temporary. This is also where we’d point you if you’re exploring CGI sales & service beyond the Katy market.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Katy
What you pay for CGI work in Katy follows the same logic as any honest General Contractor in Katy: the number is written before the work starts, and it doesn’t move. Here’s what to expect:
| CGI Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Emergency & Storm Damage | Estimates always free |
Where a job lands inside those ranges depends on the number of openings, the grid pattern and finish your HOA requires, and whether we’re pulling a single sash or resetting an entire rough opening that soil movement has thrown out of square. Every estimate includes the line items – we don’t hand you a lump sum and hope you don’t ask questions. Call (254) 527-5340 for an exact number on your Katy home.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Katy
Yes. We keep a field guide of the standard CGI finishes and grid patterns used by Katy’s production builders, and we order to match your existing units – frame color, grid profile, glass tint – before we submit anything. If your HOA flags a spec, we handle the revision and get the correct unit on order. Call (254) 527-5340 and we’ll pull the exact match for your elevation.
Usually, yes. Foundation work changes the plane of the rough opening, and the door track follows. We reset the track, re-shim the frame square, and install new rollers – that fixes most binding doors without a full replacement. If the frame itself has twisted beyond correction or the glass is compromised, we’ll tell you plainly and show you the price before you commit. Estimates are free at (254) 527-5340.
We replace the sash. A fogged pane means the insulating gas seal has failed, and once moisture is inside the unit, there’s no cleaning it out. Trying to reseal a failed unit in Katy’s humidity just buys you six weeks before it fogs again. We’ll order the correct replacement sash, match the finish and grid, and install it under our written guarantee.
Call (254) 527-5340. A live person answers 24/7 – no voicemail tree, no callback window. We’ll walk you through a temporary board-up over the phone if needed, then schedule the repair. In a post-storm week, our schedule fills from the north end of Katy to the Buffalo Bayou tributaries, so the earlier you call, the sooner we’re on your window.
Our pricing doesn’t change based on a ZIP code boundary. What changes the number is the scope: how many openings, what grid and finish your HOA requires, and how much rough-opening correction the soil has forced on us. We serve all of Katy service area and the surrounding communities at the same written-price standard.
