AfterCGI Roof Repair in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in West Palm Beach typically runs between $350 and $1,900 depending on whether we’re replacing a few fasteners and resealing a seam, or pulling a compromised section and rebuilding the flashing. Most CGI repairs are done in a single visit. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory warranty station, so we make repair decisions based on what actually fixes your roof, not what protects a corporate reimbursement schedule.
This page is for homeowners in West Palm Beach who own a CGI roof system and need someone who knows how these specific products age, fail, and get repaired properly. If you’ve got a leak, a lifted seam, or a section that’s starting to look tired, call (561) 660-9539. A live person answers, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious roofing product, but West Palm Beach has a way of finding every weak point. Here’s what we see most often on CGI roofs in this area and how we address each one.
- CGI Corr-Span and Nu-Span uplift tears at the eave line. These corrugated metal panels are common on mid-century West Palm Beach homes, and the fastener line along the eave takes the brunt of every storm. Wind-driven rain works the fasteners loose over years until water sneaks under the panel. We pull the affected run, replace the fasteners with the correct weather-sealed type, and re-bed the panel with a sealant matched to the original CGI spec. Patch jobs here don’t last, so we don’t do them.
- CGI Standing Seam (SSR) seam separation after cycles of heat and storm. The snap-lock seam on CGI’s standing seam line holds up well, but 15 seasons of West Palm Beach sun expanding and contracting the metal can cause the seam to relax just enough to let capillary action pull water uphill. The symptom is a slow drip that shows up on the ceiling days after the rain stops. We inspect the full seam run, re-engage the lock where it’s sound, and mechanically reinforce any section that’s lost its grip. This is a repair that has to be done from the top, not caulked from below.
- CGI Tile-Loc stone-coated steel losing its stone granules at the field edges. Stone-coated steel is great against impact, but the granule layer can wear where tree branches scrape or where the original installer walked too heavily. Once granule loss exposes the base coat, the steel underneath starts oxidizing in our salt air. We clean the affected area, treat any surface rust, and apply a color-matched protective coating that keeps water out and slows further degradation. If the panel is too far gone, we replace it with a matching CGI Tile-Loc panel.
- Improperly flashed roof-to-wall transitions on CGI installations. This isn’t always a CGI product failure, it’s an installation failure, but the fix is the same. The transition where a CGI roof meets a stucco or block wall is where we find most West Palm Beach leaks. The original flashing was either installed against a dirty surface or never had a proper counter-flash. We cut the reglet, install a new two-piece flashing system, and seal it so water getting behind the wall simply can’t happen.
- CGI Corr-Lok fastener backout near the hips and ridges. CGI’s corrugated profile uses exposed fasteners, and on hips and ridges, thermal expansion works them loose faster than anywhere else. Once a fastener backs out even a quarter-inch, the neoprene washer loses compression and water follows the fastener shank right into the decking. We replace every compromised fastener with a larger-diameter replacement and reseal, then check the rest of the row because they usually come loose as a group.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
When you call us about a CGI roof issue in West Palm Beach, here’s exactly what happens, step by step, so nothing is left to guesswork.
- 1
We talk to you first. A live person takes your call 24/7 and asks enough questions to understand what you’re seeing. No voicemail loops, no call center tickets.
- 2
We inspect the roof in person. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked and badged. With your permission, we walk the roof, take photos, and locate the actual failure point, not just the water stain on the ceiling inside.
- 3
We give you a written, line-item price before any work starts. You see exactly what we’re doing and what it costs. If we open something up and find additional damage, we stop and talk to you before adding a dollar to the invoice. No change orders without your say-so.
- 4
We make the parts decision with you. For CGI products still under factory warranty, we’ll tell you whether OEM parts matter for your specific repair. For older roofs where the warranty has lapsed, we’ll quote both OEM and quality aftermarket options and let you decide. Either way, we use materials suited to coastal Florida.
- 5
We do the repair and test it. The work gets done the day we’re on site in most cases. We water-test repairs where possible and document everything with photos you can keep.
- 6
We stand behind it. The Done Right Promise applies here like everywhere else. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s word is on the line with every fix.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in West Palm Beach
Here are the real numbers for common CGI repair scenarios in West Palm Beach, based on the jobs we’ve actually done in this market. These aren’t internet averages. They’re what we see when we write the estimate.
| Repair Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Fastener replacement and reseal (small section) | $350 - $650 |
| Seam repair on standing seam panel | $500 - $950 |
| Flashing replacement at wall transition | $700 - $1,400 |
| Single panel replacement (corrugated or stone-coated) | $850 - $1,900 |
| Roof-to-wall reglet and counter-flash installation | $900 - $1,700 |
What moves the price? Roof height and pitch, access difficulty, whether the decking underneath has rot that needs sectioned replacement, and whether the panels are still under warranty. A two-story tile-look CGI roof in a gated community costs more to work on than a single-story corrugated roof in Northwood Hills, and we price accordingly, with the math on paper. Estimates are free. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll give you a straight number.
Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’re not a faceless regional chain with a rotating crew and a different tech on every visit. Ed Winslow owns this business. He grew up in Northwood Hills and knows what West Palm Beach roofs go through in August and September. When you call, you get a local team that’s been doing this since 2011 and never passes your job to a subcontractor we haven’t vetted.
Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, so the person at your door is the person we said we’d send. Our Done Right Promise means if we miss something, we come back. And because we also install PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we understand how your roof ties into the rest of the building envelope. A window leak can mimic a roof leak, and we’re one of the few teams in West Palm Beach equipped to tell the difference instead of charging you for a roof fix that never fixes the actual problem.
FAQs
It depends on the age of the product and the terms of the original warranty. CGI’s material warranties generally cover the panels themselves but not installation labor or most roof-to-wall transition issues. As an independent CGI service provider, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair affects your remaining coverage. For roofs still inside the warranty window, we recommend OEM parts where available, and we’ll document the repair thoroughly so you have a paper trail.
Most repairs are scheduled within a few days of your call, and a live person answers 24/7 to get you on the books. For an active leak during storm season, we prioritize stabilization, which often means tarping the affected area same-day and completing the permanent repair as soon as the roof is dry and safe to work on. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll tell you what the schedule looks like right now.
If the steel panels themselves are sound and the leak is at the fastener line, seams, or flashing, repair usually makes far more sense than replacement. We’ll tell you the honest answer for your roof, even if that answer is “repair this, don’t replace it.” If the decking has rotted or the panel profile has been discontinued, replacement of a section or the whole field becomes the more cost-effective long-term play.
Both, depending on your situation. When the roof is still under warranty or the match matters cosmetically, we source OEM CGI components. For older roofs where the warranty has run out and the original profile is no longer in production, we use quality aftermarket parts matched to the existing panel gauge, profile, and color as closely as the market allows. We’ll show you the difference on the estimate and let you decide.
Not without your explicit approval, in writing. We only add to an estimate if we discover genuinely hidden damage that wasn’t visible during the initial inspection, and in that case we stop work, take photos, explain what we found, and get your sign-off before proceeding. You’ll never see a surprise line item on a Winslow invoice.
