AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach typically runs from $18,000 to $45,000 depending on roof size, CGI series, and whether the existing decking needs work. Most jobs wrap up in 5 to 10 working days once we’re on site. We’re an independent CGI service provider, so we quote real numbers, use OEM or quality-matched parts, and back the work with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If you own a CGI product and your roof has hit the end of its run, call (561) 831-7863 and a live person answers, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Sentinel Series seal fatigue. The Sentinel line holds up well against wind, but the factory sealant around roof-penetration points starts to dry and crack after 8 to 12 years in Palm Beach’s salt air. We see this all the time along coastal corridors like El Brillo Way. The fix is a full removal of old sealant, a clean re-bed with marine-grade material, and re-flashing at every penetration. Half-measures here just move the leak somewhere else.
- CGI Estate Collection flashing mismatch. The Estate Collection uses a thicker frame profile than most off-the-shelf flashing kits are designed for. When a previous installer used generic flashing, we find water tracking behind the frame and staining the drywall below. On our replacements we cut and form flashing specific to the Estate profile, so water sheds the way CGI intended.
- CGI Targa Series gasket compression loss. Targa’s multi-point locking system relies on consistent gasket compression. After a decade of thermal cycling in the Florida sun, the gaskets lose memory and the frame relaxes just enough to let wind-driven rain through. Symptoms are beads of water along the interior sill after a hard storm. We replace the gaskets with factory-spec durometer material and re-torque the frame anchors to CGI’s spec.
- CGI Classic Series substrate rot at the sill. This one isn’t always CGI’s fault. If the original install didn’t slope the sill pan correctly, water pools, and the framing underneath starts to rot. By the time a homeowner notices a soft spot or a musty smell, the damage is deeper than it looks. We pull the unit, repair the substrate, install a proper sloped pan, and then reset the CGI frame. That’s the only repair that lasts.
- Aftermarket parts that don’t match CGI’s profile. Palm Beach homes with older CGI units often have replacement parts that were never made for that specific series. A generic roller or latch works for a while, then binds or breaks. We keep OEM parts inventory for the most common CGI series and verify every part against the unit’s label before installation. No guessing.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (561) 831-7863. You get a person, not a voicemail tree. Tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll set a time to come look.
- 2
On-site inspection. We arrive in uniform, background-checked, and go over the roof, decking, flashing, and every CGI unit. Ed Winslow trained on real job sites for two decades, so we don’t do drive-by estimates. We climb up and look.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You get a fixed price. Not a range, not a “we’ll see how it goes.” If we find something hiding under the decking, we tell you before it becomes a change order.
- 4
Parts and prep. We order OEM CGI parts or quality-matched aftermarket where it makes sense, and we never install a part we wouldn’t put on our own house. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do.
- 5
Replacement and installation. We pull the old roofing, repair or replace decking, set the CGI units, flash them properly, and button everything up. Our crew works clean and sequences the job so you’re never exposed to weather longer than necessary.
- 6
Test and walkthrough. We run water tests on every penetration, check every lock and seal, and walk the roof with you before we leave. If it’s not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Here’s an honest breakdown of what we quote in Palm Beach:
- Full tear-off and re-roof on a 1,800-2,200 sq ft home: $18,000-$32,000 depending on decking condition and CGI series.
- CGI Estate Collection replacement on a larger estate home: $30,000-$45,000 with custom flashing and higher decking loads.
- Partial roof section with CGI tie-in: $6,500-$14,000 depending on how much structural repair is needed at the seam.
- Flashing and penetration repairs (no full replacement): $900-$3,500 when we catch it before the decking rots.
What moves the price? Decking replacement, the number of roof penetrations, whether we need a crane for the larger CGI panels, and how much salt-air corrosion we’re repairing. You’ll get a fixed written quote before any work starts. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free estimate.
