CGI Construction in Boerne, TX | Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio
We’re an independent CGI construction service crew working on Boerne homes every week, from impact window replacements off Ranger Creek Road to commercial entrance repairs along Main Street. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated, which means our recommendations are based on what actually holds up in Hill Country conditions, not what a factory rep needs to sell. If a CGI window on your Boerne home is showing condensation between the panes or a Sentinel door won’t close square, call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll give you a straight answer about whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.
Why Boerne Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Isaac Pruett grew up in Los Angeles and learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades swinging hammers across the Southwest. What that means for your Boerne home is simple: we’ve seen how CGI products behave after Hill Country freezes, flash floods, and 100-degree summers, and we know which failures are fixable and which ones mean replacement time. We’re the crew that treats your window or door the way we’d treat our own neighbor’s, and in Boerne, that matters more than any manufacturer badge.
Most Boerne homeowners call us because they want CGI-specific knowledge without the runaround. We stock OEM-compatible parts for common Sentinel, Estate, and Classic Series issues, and when the manufacturer is backordered, we use premium aftermarket glazing and hardware that matches original specs exactly. We also follow the Threshold Standard on every visit: background-checked, uniformed technicians whose name and photo arrive before we do, plus a photo ID badge at the door. Know who’s coming, know what it costs, know it’s covered – that’s the whole job before the job starts.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Boerne
- Condensation between panes on older Sentinel units. Boerne’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on laminated glass assemblies. We see thermal seal failures at bottom corners after winters like February 2021, when single-digit nights hit homes that had been fine for a decade. The fix is usually new insulated glass units with intact weep systems, not a whole new window.
- Sticking or sagging Estate Series doors on limestone slabs. Shallow slab foundations in Boerne shift with drought-wet cycles, and a door that closes fine in April might drag by August. We realign frames, replace worn rollers, and when the slab has moved enough to deform the opening, we reset the threshold straight rather than shaving the door.
- Silicon sealant breakdown around Classic Series frames. Extreme summer heat followed by flash floods is a recipe for failed perimeter seals. We strip and re-bed frames with marine-grade silicone rated for UV exposure and standing water, which keeps Hill Country storms from finding a way in.
- Bent interlocking frames on Genuine Commercial storefronts. High windstorms blow debris through Boerne’s commercial areas, and aluminum frames don’t always win. We repair or replace bent mullions and interlocking corners so the entrance closes tight and locks the way it should.
- Windows that won’t open after years of Hill Country dust. Fine limestone dust gets into tracks and pivots, turning a smooth window into a workout. We clean, lubricate, and replace worn balance systems so the window operates without breaking a handle off in your hand.
CGI Service in Boerne: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because much of Boerne sits over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, any General Contractor in Boerne working on a construction project, including CGI window replacement on older homes, may trigger additional county stormwater or impervious cover review even in unincorporated Kendall County. San Antonio exurbs don’t face that the same way. If your Boerne property is on acreage or near a creek, a window swap can turn into a permit conversation about how much square footage you’re adding to the roof or the driveway. We handle that paperwork, and when a foundation dig or window well needs to go into shallow limestone, we know which local crews do rock sawing without wrecking your landscaping.
That limestone shelf is the other Boerne factor nobody warns you about until the saw comes out. A lot that looks flat can hide solid rock 18 inches down, which turns a simple sill reset into a week of saw work and haul-off. We’ve done that, most recently on a custom home off Ranger Creek Road where a 2015 build needed four CGI Sentinel picture windows replaced after the February 2021 freeze caused thermal seal failure at the bottom corners. The original laminated units had failed because the slab had shifted enough to stress the glass. We cut the limestone shelf, reset the sills straight, and installed new Sentinel impact units with stainless hardware. That’s the difference between swapping glass and fixing the reason the glass failed in the first place.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boerne
We work on the full CGI residential and commercial lineup you’ll find around Boerne: Sentinel Series impact windows, Estate Collection impact windows, Classic Series impact windows, and Genuine Commercial entrance systems. For windows and doors where the frame is sound and the glass is the problem, we use OEM CGI parts whenever they’re available. The brand’s extruded aluminum frames and laminated glass assemblies are tightly toleranced, and mixing in off-brand components creates gaps that show up the first time the wind blows hard. If OEM is backordered, we use only premium aftermarket glazing and hardware that match the original specifications, never whatever’s cheapest on the shelf. We recommend repair when the frame and glass are structurally intact, and replacement when warping, seal failure, or updated code requirements justify it.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Boerne
Here’s what our Boerne customers typically see on a written estimate. These ranges cover the common jobs, and every estimate is put in writing before any work starts, with no verbal numbers that grow later.
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 – $45,000 |
What drives the cost in Boerne is mostly the limestone. If your window opening needs rock sawing to widen or level the sill, that adds to the timeline and the invoice. Older homes near downtown with historic limestone walls also cost more because the masonry work around the window has to match what’s already there. A free estimate includes a site visit, measurements, and a written line-item quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Call (254) 269-5071 to schedule yours, no obligation and no follow-up sales pitch after we leave.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Boerne
Most early-2000s CGI impact windows were rated to meet the building codes in effect when they were installed, but Boerne’s wind load requirements have since been updated in some areas, particularly on exposed hilltops and new subdivisions. Whether your existing windows comply depends on the specific model, the year of manufacture, and your exact location. We verify this during the estimate, and if code requires an upgrade, we’ll show you the specific requirement in writing so you can see what’s driving the recommendation. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll check your windows against current Kendall County wind load tables.
Yes, when the frame is square and the original glass assembly is available or can be matched to spec. Estate Series doors use laminated glass units that are bonded into precision-extruded frames, and swapping glass requires proper glazing tape, setting blocks, and alignment. If the frame has racked or the hinges have sagged, replacing only the glass won’t solve the problem for long. We’ll tell you which situation you have and quote accordingly, with the cost range for glass-only replacement usually falling between $400 and $1,800 depending on glass size and whether OEM parts are in stock. Call (254) 269-5071 for an exact number.
Condensation between the panes means the insulated glass unit’s thermal seal has failed, and it happens when the sealant around the glass edges breaks down after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Boerne’s winters alternate between hard freezes and warm afternoons, which causes the metal and glass to expand and contract at different rates until the seal gives out. Once moisture gets inside, you cannot dry it out from the outside. The fix is new insulated glass, and if the frame is still sound, that’s all you need. Call (254) 269-5071 for a free estimate on glass replacement, no window swap required unless the frame has moved.
Boerne’s dark-sky ordinance limits how much exterior light can escape upward, and while it mainly affects lighting fixtures, it also matters for window selection if you’re adding large glass areas to a new build or renovation. Rooms with big CGI windows can leak a lot of interior light into the night sky, especially during a Boerne Bathroom Remodeling project on high-end acreage homes with vaulted ceilings and no tree cover. We help you choose glass coatings and positioning that reduce light spill while still giving you the views and impact protection you bought the windows for. The ordinance doesn’t restrict visible light transmittance on most residential windows, but it’s worth checking your specific lot’s zoning before you commit to a wall of glass.
If a window opening needs to be enlarged or leveled and the rock is too solid for a saw, blasting may be required, and in Boerne that means coordinating with Kendall County and any applicable aquifer protection rules. Blasting near the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone gets extra scrutiny, and the permitting can add weeks to a simple window project. We handle that coordination, and we’ll tell you up front whether your lot is likely to need it after the first site visit. Most Boerne window replacements don’t require blasting, but when they do, the cost and timeline go into your written estimate before any tools come out. Call (254) 269-5071 to schedule a site visit and we’ll check what’s under your window openings.
