How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a strong roof. But Fort Lauderdale has a way of finding any product’s weak seam. Here’s what we see most on local homes, and how we address each one.

• Shingle granule loss on older CGI asphalt lines. CGI shingle roofs here take a beating from UV and salt air. Granules wash into gutters slowly, especially on east-facing slopes. We catch it early, document the wear, and replace affected sections before the mat starts showing.
• Tile cracking at the corners on CGI concrete tile roofs. In neighborhoods near Las Olas and Victoria Park, we see hairline cracks where tiles meet flashing. Water gets behind the tile face, then into the underlayment. We pull the cracked tile, replace it, and reseal the flashing so the next storm doesn’t find the same path.
• Metal seam separation on standing seam panels after high wind. CGI metal roofs hold up well, but a direct hit from a hurricane band can work a seam loose. We inspect the full panel run, reset the seam, and re-caulk with a marine-grade sealant rated for coastal conditions.
• Underlayment rot under tiles where valley flashing was undersized. We see this on both CGI and other brands: original installs that used a narrower valley flashing than code now requires. Over a decade of Fort Lauderdale rain, the underlayment soaks up what the flashing missed. We re-flash the valley, replace rotted underlayment, and reset the tiles.
• Fastener back-out on metal panels near the roofline edge. Thermal cycling plays hell with metal roofs within a mile of the coast. Screws and clips that were snug ten years ago work themselves loose. We tighten or replace fasteners, and on exposed fastener panels, we use a heavier gauge replacement when the OEM size has proven undersized for our climate.

Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

You call, we answer. That’s step one, and it never changes. From there, here’s the same path we follow on every CGI roof we touch.

1. 1
   You call (904) 747-8989. A live person answers, 24/7. We take the address, what you’re seeing, and when it started.
2. 2
   We schedule the diagnostic visit. No trip charge inside Broward County. Ed or a background-checked, uniformed tech arrives at the time we set.
3. 3
   We diagnose the specific failure. Not just the symptom. We find whether it’s an installation issue, a material issue, or simple age-and-weather wear. Where it’s helpful, we check install records and compare against current Fort Lauderdale code.
4. 4
   We give you a written, line-item price. You’ll see what we’re fixing, what parts we’re using, and the total. We don’t change the number once work starts. No change orders, no surprises on the invoice.
5. 5
   We do the work. For parts, we use OEM CGI components when they’re available and when they’re the right choice. Where an OEM part has a known local weakness, we’ll tell you and offer a better alternative that doesn’t void the most important thing: your protection.
6. 6
   We test, clean, and walk the job with you. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and that’s Ed Winslow putting his name on it.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work

Plenty of roofers in Fort Lauderdale can nail a shingle down. Fewer understand what a CGI product needs, and fewer still will pick up the phone when you call at 9 p.m. because a tile slid off during an afternoon squall. We do all of it.

Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and trained in building construction technology at Miami Dade College, then spent years on every phase of exterior work before founding this company in 2011. That means when we’re on your CGI roof, we’re not learning on your house. We’re applying what we already know about South Florida weather, salt air, and how premium products fail here specifically.

The 36500-Day Done Right Promise is not a brochure line. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. We also install and service PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems products, which means our techs already understand the caliber of materials CGI owners expect. You get one company for the whole exterior, with one owner standing behind it. My name’s on the truck. That’s the only guarantee you need.
