CGI Construction in Redlands, CA | Stallion Contractors
We’re an independent CGI service provider working across Redlands, and if you’ve got fogged glass, dragging sashes, or patio doors that stick every summer, we can usually fix it without replacing the whole unit. What makes our CGI work different in Redlands is that we understand the split this city runs on: historic bungalows near downtown where window openings were built ninety years ago, and newer tract homes east of the 10 where heat cycling, not age, causes most failures. We repair, replace, and install CGI windows and doors across 92373, 92374, and 92375. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on any CGI service.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI has been building vinyl and aluminum windows and patio doors for decades, and we’ve worked with their product lines long enough to know where they hold up and where they don’t in Inland Empire heat. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is a general contractor that installs and services CGI units the same way we handle every other trade: by reading the manufacturer’s specs, ordering the right parts, and doing the work to the standard the opening demands.
Ruben Montoya grew up in Colton, where half the houses on his block were built by tradesmen who knew this soil and sun before anyone called it the Inland Empire, and we still offer Colton CGI service today. He learned foundations and framing at San Bernardino Valley College, spent two-plus decades on job sites across the region, and still pays more attention to the final ten percent of a job than most contractors pay to the first ninety. That’s the standard our Redlands CGI work is held to. We show up with the right parts the first time, and when something can’t be repaired, we tell you plainly and quote a replacement that will actually last.
Our CGI sales & service work covers everything from single-sash glass replacement to full window and door retrofits.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Bowed or softened vinyl frames from unshaded south and west exposure. Redlands summers run hot, and homes on streets like Sunset Drive or along the orange groves with no mature shade trees put intense UV on windows all afternoon. CGI vinyl frames can soften and bow under that repeated heat cycling, which makes sashes drag, seals fail, and latches stop lining up. We replace warped frames and install new units sized for the opening, not forced into it.
- Fogged insulating glass from failed perimeter seals. This shows up regularly on 1990s and 2000s CGI windows in east Redlands tract homes, the 92374 corridor where homes are hitting their second or third decade. Years of heat expansion and contraction break the seal around the IGU, and condensation or haze settles between the panes. We source OEM-matched glass units and swap them out without replacing the whole window when the frame is still sound.
- Weeping or corroded aluminum sills on mid-century ranch homes. Aluminum-sash CGI windows on ranch-era homes in Redlands collect water at the sill line where winter rain splashes against old stucco and failed flashing. Over time the sill channels weep, corrode, and stain interior drywall. We pull the unit, repair the flashing detail, and replace the sash or sill components as needed.
- Sticky or derailed sliding patio door rollers and tracks. Santa Ana winds don’t just push heat into Redlands, they blow fine drought dust into every track and roller channel. CGI sliding patio doors on west-facing patios and balconies foul with grit, the rollers wear flat, and the door starts dragging or popping off the track. We replace rollers, clean and realign the track, and adjust the strike so the door latches securely again.
- Storm and wind damage after Santa Ana events. When sustained wind drives debris into windows, CGI frames and glass can crack, bow, or blow out the weatherstrip. We handle board-up and glass replacement on short notice after major wind events, which matters more in Redlands than in surrounding cities because of how exposed the east-side streets sit at the base of the San Bernardino foothills.
CGI Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Redlands is not a uniform housing market, and that changes how CGI work should be approached here. Near downtown, the 1900s-to-1930s Craftsman and Spanish Revival bungalows in 92373 have original window openings that were framed before dimensional lumber was standardized. A modern retrofitted vinyl window shoved into a rough opening that’s off by half an inch in either direction looks wrong and leaks. We size replacement units to the original opening and build out the reveal with trim and flashing that respects the original stucco work, instead of dropping in whatever fits and caulking the gaps. That constraint simply doesn’t come up in the same way in San Bernardino or CGI in Highland infill, and it’s why Redlands CGI work rewards a little more patience up front.
On a 1920s Spanish Revival bungalow just off the orange-grove streets near downtown Redlands, our crew found CGI-style sash windows with fogged glass and rotted sills hidden behind old stucco. If you need CGI repair in Loma Linda, we handle similar restorations there too. We rebuilt the openings, flashed them correctly, and installed new units sized to the original reveals. The homeowner kept the historic look and stopped the winter rain intrusion that had been staining the interior walls.
Our Redlands service area includes historic downtown streets, the mid-century ranch pockets, and the newer east-side subdivisions.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We work on CGI vinyl single- and double-hung windows, CGI sliding patio doors, CGI aluminum series windows, and CGI garden and bay window units. Whether it’s a double-hung in a 1950s ranch off Orange Street or a garden window in a newer kitchen remodel east of the 10, we approach it the same way: diagnose the actual failure, then source the right part. When frames and sashes are sound, we order OEM CGI glass units, rollers, and weatherstrip because matched components outlast generic substitutes in this heat. When a frame is bowed, cracked, or corroded past the point of a reliable repair, we say so and quote replacement. We don’t sell a repair that won’t hold.
For full window or door replacement jobs, we carry what’s needed for fast Redlands turnaround and schedule work so you’re not waiting on a parts order for weeks.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Redlands
Yes, in most cases. If the frame and sash are still square and structurally sound, we can order an OEM-matched insulated glass unit and swap out the failed IGU without disturbing the surrounding stucco or trim. This is the most common repair we do on 1990s and 2000s CGI windows in east Redlands. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll confirm whether your unit qualifies during the estimate.
Usually both. Heat expansion can push the vinyl frame panel tight against the jamb, and drought dust from Santa Ana winds settles into the roller track, grinding the rollers down and making the door drag. We’ll clean the track, replace worn rollers, and check the frame for heat-related bowing so the fix lasts beyond one season.
They do. Older Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes in 92373 often have original window openings that don’t match modern standard sizing, and the stucco reveals are part of the home’s character. We size replacement units to the original opening, build out trim and flashing to match the existing reveal, and avoid the cheap retrofit look that screams “flip house.” If you’d like us to look at your home, call (855) 600-3192.
It can be, depending on the exposure. CGI vinyl holds up well when the unit is shaded or faces east or north, but unshaded south and west walls in Redlands take serious UV abuse. For those exposures, we often recommend aluminum or impact-rated CGI units instead. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific ADU or addition site.
We make wind-damage calls a priority and can usually get to your Redlands home within a day or two of a major event, depending on how widespread the damage is. We inspect, board up if needed, and get you a repair or replacement quote fast. Call (855) 600-3192 right after the wind dies down.
