AfterCGI Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $350 and $1,400 depending on whether we’re re-sealing a dormer junction, replacing crushed flashing, or addressing water intrusion around a CGI skylight curb. Most repairs for CGI window and door roof-integration points are completed in a single visit. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we diagnose the real problem, quote you a fixed number, and stand behind the repair with the same 36500-Day Done Right Promise Ed Winslow has offered since 2011. This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, and the beachside corridors who own CGI products and need honest answers before water finds its way further into the house. Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person answers, any hour.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sentinel Series roof-integration flashing pulls away at the top flange. On Fort Lauderdale homes with barrel tile or standing seam metal, the top flashing on CGI Sentinel units installed in roof decks gets worked loose by constant thermal cycle, day after day of sun baking the aluminum. We remove the old sealant cleanly, inspect the wooden curb for rot, and re-flash with a two-stage membrane before the Sentinel frame goes back in. This is a recurring pattern we see in Rio Vista and Victoria Park older builds.
- CGI Estate Collection corner joinery seeps at the low corner after a storm. When wind-driven rain hits the upper corner of a fixed Estate unit at the roof line, water beats the weep system faster than it drains. The real problem is usually a plug of sand and roof grit in the weep channel, and the fix is a cleanout plus re-balancing the unit so water leaves the corners. Not a replacement. We’ve saved plenty of Estate windows that other companies wrote off as “needs a new unit.”
- Skylight curb rot under CGI curb-mounted units. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity plus the salt air near Las Olas and the beach means wood curbs under any brand’s skylight, including CGI’s, start to soften in about 12 to 15 years. We strip the old curb, pressure-treat the replacement, and re-seat the CGI curb with stainless hardware. You’ll never see a galvanized fastener on one of our CGI jobs.
- Fascia and eave metal pulling away from CGI gable-end windows. The short screws and thin flashing used on some original installations let water track behind the eave metal and follow the truss inward, showing up as a ceiling stain 4 feet inside the wall. We re-anchor the eave metal with longer fasteners into sound framing, then seal the transition to the CGI frame so water sheets off instead of wrapping under.
- Condensation ghosting on CGI roof-deck glass with failed edge seals. If your CGI roof slope glass fogs from the inside and it’s not a humidity issue, the edge seal has started to go. The fix is a new insulated glass unit, and we order from a supplier who holds the correct CGI glass dimensions and tints. Aftermarket glass is fine structurally here, but the tint and solar performance must match the original, and we verify that before we order anything.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call and talk to a real person. You reach us at (904) 747-8989. We ask about the leak pattern, the age of the CGI units, and any history before we book the visit. No script, no call center.
- 2
We inspect the CGI unit, the roof junction, and the surrounding roof system. Water rarely enters where the stain shows. We trace it. We’ll check the flashing, the weep system, the curb if there’s a skylight, and the roof covering upslope.
- 3
You get a fixed written quote before any work begins. No deposit surprises, no hourly meter. If we’re touching a repair over $200, the $40 off applies automatically. Veterans and seniors get their permanent 10% discount on the number we write down.
- 4
The repair uses OEM parts where the warranty matters, and proven aftermarket parts where OEM is discontinued or 6 weeks out. For fasteners, sealants, and flashing, we use materials rated for South Florida exposure, not whatever is on the truck from last week’s job.
- 5
We water-test the repair, clean the work area, and walk you through what we did. You see the before and after. If something isn’t right, it’s on us, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise says we come back.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Fort Lauderdale
- Re-sealing a CGI window or door roof-integration joint: $350 - $650
- Replacing damaged roof flashing around a CGI unit: $500 - $950
- CGI skylight curb rebuild and re-seat: $800 - $1,400

What moves the number in Fort Lauderdale is access, roof type, and the condition of the wood underneath. A two-story tile roof in Coral Ridge costs more to work on than a single-story shingle roof in Melrose Manors. Rotted framing means carpentry joins the repair. We won’t pad the price with change orders. The quote we write is the quote you pay. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll give you a number with no fine print behind it.

FAQs
No, not when the repair is performed correctly using OEM parts where required and manufacturer-compatible materials throughout. We are an independent CGI service provider and we document every repair with photos and materials used, so if a future warranty question comes up, you have a clear record. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll tell you straight what your specific CGI line warranty covers.
Most CGI roof-integration repairs are completed within two to five business days of your call, depending on whether we need to order a specific glass unit or part. We keep common flashing profiles, sealants, and hardware on hand for the CGI lines most common in Fort Lauderdale. Water intrusion doesn’t get better by waiting, so call (904) 747-8989 and schedule the inspection at no charge inside our home county.
Repair the CGI unit if the frame is sound, the glass is intact, and the failure is in the flashing, sealant, or hardware. Replace it when the frame is corroded through, the edge seal is blown on multiple panes, or you’re chasing the same leak after two previous repairs. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received. Call (904) 747-8989 and bring us your quote.
We use genuine CGI parts whenever they’re available and the warranty is active, and we use quality aftermarket parts when CGI discontinues a component or a 6-week lead time means water in your ceiling keeps advancing. We’ll show you both options, with prices, before we order anything. You make the call, we give you the facts. Dial (904) 747-8989 for a straight answer on your specific CGI series.
No. The quote we write is the number you pay, unless we discover rotted framing or structural damage that no one could see until we opened the area, and in that case we stop, show you photos, and get your approval before any additional work proceeds. Ed Winslow has never hidden a change order behind vague language, and we’re not starting now. Call (904) 747-8989 to get your fixed quote.
