CGI Windows & Doors in Alhambra, CA | Juniper Windows Pasadena
We provide independent CGI windows and doors service across Alhambra, from full-frame retrofits on 1920s Craftsman bungalows to sash rebuilds on 1950s apartment blocks. What separates our CGI work here is simple: we know which original frames are worth saving and which wavy-glass sashes should stay put. That judgment only comes from doing the work in Alhambra itself, house by house. Call (626) 657-5977 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Alhambra Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Sean Mackey, owner of Juniper Windows Pasadena, grew up in Los Angeles and trained in the building trades program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. Nearly two decades of window and door installs later, he still starts every job the same way: check the rough opening, check the frame, then talk options. If the frame isn’t right, nothing else matters – let’s start there.
We are not a CGI-authorized dealer. We’re an independent service provider, which means we call it like we see it. If a sash rebuild will buy you another ten years, we’ll say so. If the frame is shot, we’ll tell you that too. Our background-checked, uniformed techs understand Alhambra’s housing stock because we work in it daily through our Window Installation in Alhambra. Every job gets a written price before the first screw turns, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers parts and labor for a full year after install. If it’s not right, we make it right. That’s in writing.
Common CGI Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Alhambra
- Corner weld hairline cracks on CGI Estate double hungs. In Alhambra’s 1920s and 30s bungalows, summer heat expansion works against those original welds for decades. You’ll notice air movement, dust collecting on the sill, or a rattle on windy days. We remove the sash, reinforce the weld, and rebalance the window.
- Binding or dragging sashes on CGI Sentinel horizontal rollers. The 1950s and 60s apartment buildings across Alhambra have seen thousands of open-close cycles. Rollers lose tension, tracks weather, and the sash starts fighting you. We replace rollers and adjust track alignment, matching original dimensions so the window glides again.
- Blocked drainage weeps on west-facing CGI Traditions casements. Hard water from Alhambra’s municipal supply leaves mineral crust in the weep channels. When winter rains arrive, water backs up and sits against the frame, eventually rotting the sill. We clear the weeps, check for hidden damage, and reseal the frame where needed.
- Fogged glass on CGI Classic picture windows in mid-century ranch homes. After prolonged heat waves, the seal between panes fails. That hazing you see is lost insulating gas and moisture. A glass replacement often restores the window without touching the original frame or interior trim.
- Worn weatherstripping and air leaks on original wood sash homes. Alhambra’s pre-1950 houses have original windows that were never meant to seal tightly. We fit new CGI sashes inside the existing frames, keeping the wavy glass and historic character while cutting drafts dramatically.
CGI Service in Alhambra: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Alhambra’s pre-1950 homes often have original wood sash windows with wavy glass – the kind you can spot from the sidewalk on streets south of Main, around neighborhoods like the Bean Tract. Historic preservation pressures mean a full tear-out often isn’t the right call, and honestly, it shouldn’t be. Those old frames are frequently built from old-growth wood that’s straighter and more stable than anything you can order today. Our techs regularly salvage and rebuild the original frames, then fit new CGI sashes inside them. The wavy glass stays. The character stays. The window actually seals now. Working this way through Alhambra Window Replacement means knowing when original trim can be preserved and when it’s too far gone. In the Bean Tract, our tech rebuilt two CGI Estate double hungs in a 1920s Craftsman bungalow near Story Park. The original corner welds had cracked from summer heat expansion, letting dust and rattling settle in. We removed the sashes, reinforced the corner joints with OEM-grade welding, installed fresh balances and weatherstripping, and resealed the perimeter – keeping the wavy glass original and cutting the owner’s cooling bills.
That’s the piece that doesn’t apply equally in Pasadena or Glendale. Alhambra’s concentration of pre-war bungalows and its hard-water profile put specific demands on CGI hardware, and we carry the parts and the know-how to meet them locally. For broader coverage, see our CGI sales & service page.

We work on the full CGI line: Sentinel, Estate, Traditions, and Classic. For repairs, we use genuine CGI parts when they’re available – that matters for fit and for preserving whatever warranty remains. For discontinued series, we fit premium aftermarket balances, rollers, and weatherstripping that match the original dimensions exactly. No square pegs, no forced fits. We also handle insert window replacement, energy-efficient upgrades, and ongoing window maintenance across Alhambra and the wider Alhambra service area.

FAQs – CGI Windows & Doors in Alhambra
Yes. We preserve the original frame and the wavy glass, then fit a new CGI sash insert inside the existing opening. The glass you love stays visible; the window now seals and operates like new. This is one of the most common retrofits we do on pre-1950 homes in Alhambra. Call (626) 657-5977 to have a tech evaluate your frames.
Roller tension loss on CGI Sentinel sliders. Decades of daily use on 1950s and 60s apartment blocks wears the rollers down until the sash drags or binds against the weathered track. We replace the rollers, clean and realign the track, and the window moves smoothly again.
That’s mineral deposit from Alhambra’s hard water, and it’s blocking your drainage weeps. When the weeps clog, winter rain water backs up inside the frame and sits against the wood, which leads to rot. We clear the weeps, inspect the sill for early damage, and reseal the frame. The fix is often quick, but catching it before the sill rots saves real money.
The seal between the glass panes has failed, letting moisture in and the insulating gas out. The glass unit needs replacement. In most cases, we can replace the insulated glass unit while keeping your original frame and interior trim intact. Call (626) 657-5977 for a measurement and a written quote – the estimate is free.
For mid-century ranches, we usually recommend insert window replacement with dual-pane, low-E CGI sashes. You keep the original framing and sightlines, but the glass now blocks a meaningful share of Alhambra’s summer heat gain. Many ranch homeowners see a noticeable drop in cooling bills after the swap. We’ll walk you through the U-factor numbers and what they mean in plain terms during the estimate.
