This page is for CGI owners who want straight answers about how their roof fails, what it costs to fix, and who in West Palm Beach can actually do the work without voiding their warranty or making things worse. We’ve been repairing and replacing CGI roofs since 2011, and we know the difference between a quick fix and a problem that’ll be back in six months.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a tough roof, but every product line has its weak spots. Here’s what we see most often on CGI roofs across West Palm Beach:

• CGI Sentinel Shingle edge lifting along the rake line. The Sentinel line holds up well against wind, but the adhesive strip near the rake edge can lose grip after repeated heat cycles. West Palm Beach summers push roof surface temperatures past 140 degrees, and that thermal cycling slowly breaks the seal. We re-secure the lifted shingles, check the underlayment beneath, and make sure the next storm doesn’t peel them back.
• CGI barrel tile cracked at the nail line. Barrel tile on older CGI installations often fails at the nail penetration, not the face of the tile. Installers who over-drive nails or skip the neoprene washer create a stress point that takes a few seasons to crack. We replace the tile, re-bed with the correct mortar, and inspect the surrounding tiles for the same install error.
• Metal roof flashing separation at roof-to-wall transitions. On CGI’s standing seam and exposed fastener metal panels, the transition where the roof meets a stucco wall is the first place West Palm Beach’s heavy afternoon rains find a way in. The original flashing may have been cut too short or never counter-flashed. We cut the wall, install proper step and counter flashing, and seal it with a product rated for our UV intensity and salt air.
• Tile underlayment rot under CGI flat-profile tile. Flat tile holds more water against the underlayment than barrel tile, and on homes near the Intracoastal or Atlantic, salt and humidity accelerate rot. We’ve pulled tile on 12-year-old roofs in Northwood Hills and found underlayment that looks 30 years old. We remove the affected tile, replace the underlayment with a high-temp synthetic, and reinstall the tile with fresh battens.
• Shingle granule loss and clogged valleys. CGI shingles lose granules the same way all shingles do, but in West Palm Beach the granules wash into valleys and hold moisture against the shingle edges. We clear the valleys, inspect the shingle edges for early decay, and replace any shingles that have lost enough granule coverage to expose the fiberglass mat.

Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person picks up at (561) 660-9539. No voicemail, no call center. Ed or one of our team members takes down what you’re seeing and schedules the visit.
2. 2
   We inspect and diagnose. A background-checked, uniformed tech arrives and walks the roof. We photograph everything, including the areas you didn’t notice. We explain what we found in plain language.
3. 3
   We decide parts together: OEM vs aftermarket. For warranty-sensitive repairs, we recommend CGI OEM parts. For out-of-warranty work where an aftermarket part matches spec, we’ll show you both costs and let you decide. We never install a part that doesn’t meet the roof’s load and wind rating.
4. 4
   You get a written price. Line-item quote. Fixed. No change orders unless we uncover something structural and you approve it first.
5. 5
   We do the work and test it. Repairs get water-tested when possible. We clean up the same day. You get a photo summary of what was done.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise applies. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a hundred years of accountability, and we’re comfortable with that.

What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in West Palm Beach

What moves the price: roof pitch and height, how much underlayment needs to come up, whether we’re matching an existing tile color or installing a fresh run, and whether permits are required. West Palm Beach code enforcement has gotten strict about roof repairs that touch more than 25% of the roof area, so we’ll tell you upfront if your repair triggers a permit. You’ll also want to know we offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans, $40 off any repair over $200, and free second opinions on written estimates. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll put numbers on paper.
