AfterCGI Roof Repair in Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Palm Beach is work we do regularly, and most jobs are turned around within 48 to 72 hours once we’ve assessed the damage. The honest price posture is this: a minor flashing reseal might run you $450 to $900, while a full window-to-roof integration repair with new CGI mounting hardware and sealant typically lands between $1,800 and $4,200 depending on how much structural wood needs replacement. We’re an independent CGI service provider - not a manufacturer warranty arm - which means we diagnose first, quote honestly, and never sell you a replacement when a repair will do. If you own a CGI product and you’ve spotted a leak, a lifted seal, or daylight where there shouldn’t be any, call (561) 831-7863 and you’ll get a real person. This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who want to understand what’s actually wrong with their CGI roof assembly before anyone touches it.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Estate Collection skylight curb leaks. We see this a lot on older Palm Beach homes along El Brillo Way and the estate corridors. The curb the skylight sits on was often framed with untreated lumber, and thirty years of humidity and wind-driven rain rots it from the inside out. The glass is fine - the curb is the problem. We pull the skylight, rebuild the curb with pressure-treated stock, re-flash, and reset the glass. The leak stops because we fixed the actual source, not the symptom.
- CGI Clarity Series roof-to-wall transition failures. When the transition flashing between the roof deck and a CGI wall system was installed with generic peel-and-stick instead of a high-temperature metal flashing, the adhesive breaks down. Palm Beach sun bakes roof surfaces past 140 degrees in summer. Once the adhesive fails, water wicks sideways into the drywall. We strip the old material, install proper metal counter-flashing, and detail the joint so water sheds the way it’s supposed to.
- CGI Sentinel Series glass block roof vents with cracked mortar joints. These roof-mounted glass block assemblies are tough, but the mortar joints take a pounding from thermal expansion. A hairline crack lets in more water than you’d believe, especially during a summer afternoon downpour. We remove the loose mortar, re-point with a flexible polymer-modified mortar, and seal the perimeter. Done right, it outlasts the original installation.
- CGI impact-rated picture windows set into roof dormers. The window itself is a tank, but the dormer framing around it? That’s on the original builder. We regularly find missing kickout flashing at the dormer-to-roof intersection, which funnels water directly behind the window flange. The fix is a proper kickout diverter, new step flashing, and resealing the CGI window’s nailing flange with a marine-grade sealant. The window stays - the rot goes.
- CGI operable casement roof monitors with failed operator arms. On older CGI casement units installed in cupolas and roof monitors, the operator arm gears wear out. The window won’t seal tight against the frame, and wind-blown rain finds the gap. We replace the operator arm and re-tension the sash so it closes flush and locks. It’s a $200 to $400 fix that saves you from a $2,000 water damage bill.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call us at (561) 831-7863. A real person answers, day or night. Ed’s name is on the door - and on every job we do. You’ll describe the symptom, and we’ll give you a straight answer about whether we need to see it in person.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. We show up in uniform, background-checked, and we crawl the roof, the attic, and the wall cavities. We’re not there to guess. We document what we find with photos and show them to you before we recommend anything.
- 3
Parts decision. If the job needs new CGI-specific hardware - a replacement operator arm, a new gasket set, a factory-shaped flashing - we tell you exactly what OEM costs versus what a quality aftermarket part costs. You decide. We’ve installed enough of both to know when aftermarket is fine and when OEM is the only responsible choice.
- 4
The repair. We do the work with the right tool for the job, not whatever’s in the truck. That means proper sealants, correct fasteners, and attention to the water-shedding plane of the entire assembly - not just the visible part.
- 5
Water test and inspection. We run a controlled water test on every roof repair we do before we call it done. If it leaks, we’re not finished. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise in practice.
- 6
Walkthrough and guarantee. We show you what we did, why we did it, and that the test passed. Then we leave the job cleaner than we found it and stand behind the work for as long as you own the home.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Palm Beach
Here’s what you can expect to pay for common CGI roof repair scenarios in Palm Beach. These are real numbers from jobs we’ve actually done, not national averages pulled from a database.
- Flashing reseal around a CGI roof-mounted window or skylight: $450 - $900
- Curb rebuild for a CGI skylight (rotted wood replacement): $1,200 - $2,600
- Kickout flashing and dormer water diversion install: $800 - $1,600
- Glass block roof vent re-pointing and sealing: $600 - $1,400
- Casement operator arm replacement on a CGI roof monitor: $200 - $400
- Full CGI window-to-roof integration with new mounting hardware and structural repair: $1,800 - $4,200
What moves the price is access, the condition of the surrounding framing, and whether the original flashing was ever done properly. A two-story roof on a steep pitch costs more than a low-slope ranch. If you have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it to us - we’ll give you a second opinion for free. And any repair over $200 gets $40 off, every time. Call (561) 831-7863 for a line-item quote. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been doing this since 2011, owned and operated by Ed Winslow - a Miami native who grew up weatherproofing homes after summer storms and never really stopped. That matters because CGI products are an investment, and you deserve a repair that respects that. Our technicians are background-checked and show up in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck even stops. We carry knowledge across eight authorized brands - CGI, PGT, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - which means when we look at your CGI roof assembly, we know how it’s supposed to integrate with the rest of the building envelope. And because we also service PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we’re not brand-blind. We fix what’s there, correctly. If it’s not done right, we come back - that’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s been our standard since the day Ed opened the doors. You can call us at 2 a.m. and a live person will answer. No voicemail loops. No call centers. Just us.
FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, we’re careful to use repair methods that preserve your original warranty terms. We never drill through CGI frames or glass panels unnecessarily, and we use sealants and flashing techniques that match or exceed the original installation spec. If a repair could potentially affect a warranty, we’ll tell you before we start - and explain your options in plain English.
In most cases, we can source either OEM CGI hardware or a quality aftermarket equivalent, and we’ll give you both price options. For moving parts like operator arms and locks, OEM is often the same price and we recommend it. For sealant, flashing, and structural lumber, the material brand matters less than the installation method. A repair is almost always less expensive than a replacement, and we’ll never push you toward a new window just because it’s a bigger invoice.
We answer the phone 24/7, and for active leaks we prioritize getting a technician on-site quickly - serious water intrusion doesn’t wait. We don’t promise same-day for every situation because we’d rather be honest than overbook, but a live person will talk to you within minutes, not days, and you’ll know exactly when we’re coming. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, so calling us to look costs you nothing.
Flashing is the metal or membrane that transitions between the roof deck and the CGI product. When flashing fails, water gets in even if the shingles or tiles look fine. If your roof covering is at the end of its life, new flashing won’t save it. But if the roofing material is solid and the flashing is the failure point, a targeted repair is the right call. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in - not whichever one makes us more money.
When a permit is required by Palm Beach building code, we pull it, and we stand behind the inspection. Most flashing and sealant repairs don’t require a permit, but structural work - like rebuilding a rotted skylight curb - often does. We handle the paperwork, and we don’t cut corners. If a permit is needed, it’s done right the first time. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll tell you exactly what your job requires.
