CGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

CGI roof replacement and installation in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $14,500 to $38,000 for a full tear-off and new roof, depending on the roof’s square footage, pitch, and whether we’re pulling permits in a flood zone. Most CGI-branded roofing jobs in Fort Lauderdale wrap up in 5 to 10 working days once materials land. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory branch, which means we quote the real number up front and don’t pad it with dealer markup.

If your Fort Lauderdale home wears a CGI roof and it’s showing age after a decade of salt air and hurricane seasons, this page is for you. We’ll walk through how CGI roofs fail here, what replacement really costs, and what Ed Winslow’s crew does differently. Ready to talk numbers? Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person picks up.

Key takeaways:

• We replace and install CGI roofing systems as an independent contractor, with pricing transparency no factory store matches.
• Fort Lauderdale’s salt-heavy air and storm cycles punish CGI flashing and underlayment before the panels themselves fail.
• Every job gets a written line-item quote, permits pulled, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise behind it.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a tough product. But no roof in Fort Lauderdale survives on reputation alone. Here’s what we actually see on service calls, block by block from Victoria Park to Rio Vista.

• CGI Sentinel standing seam: fastener back-out at the ridge. Thermal cycling in Fort Lauderdale heat expands and contracts metal panels daily. On Sentinel roofs, we regularly find ridge screws that worked loose over 8 to 12 years, letting water creep under the cap. The fix is removing the ridge cap, replacing the fasteners with oversized gauge screws and new neoprene washers, then re-securing with proper torque. A roof replacement quote should include this, not skip it.
• CGI Board & Batten profile: eave corrosion from salt deposition. Homes within two miles of Fort Lauderdale Beach collect salt film on rooflines. We’ve pulled CGI Board & Batten panels where the eave edge corroded through while the upper panels looked new. The cause is moisture wicking up the cut edge at the drip line. Our replacement jobs always start with fresh drip edge, a wider overhang detail where code allows, and factory-cut eave panels with sealed ends.
• CGI Slate profile: underlayment failure before panel failure. A CGI Slate roof can look fine from the street while the synthetic underlayment underneath is delaminating. We’ve opened up 15-year-old Fort Lauderdale roofs to find cracked, brittle underlayment that should have been replaced 5 years prior. The panel held. The waterproofing didn’t. Our tear-off process always strips to decking so we can see what’s actually there.
• CGI Corrugated panel: lap joint leaks at low pitches. Low-slope sections are common on Fort Lauderdale mid-century homes. CGI Corrugated panels have a minimum recommended slope, and when a prior installer pushed that limit, wind-driven rain blows under the lap. We fix this by correcting the slope with tapered insulation or reframing the section, then reinstalling with proper lap sealant and spacing per CGI’s published specs.
• CGI tile overlay systems: cracked batten strips after storms. Storm-force wind flexes roofing battens under tile. On CGI tile systems, a cracked batten can go unnoticed until a tile shifts and exposes the underlayment. When we replace these roofs in Fort Lauderdale, we upgrade batten spacing and switch to pressure-treated lumber where the original used untreated wood.

Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process

   Call and talk to a person. You dial (904) 747-8989. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about your CGI roof, its age, and what you’re seeing. No ticket numbers.
2. 2
   Free on-site inspection. We walk the roof, check the attic, and document what’s failing. For Fort Lauderdale homes, that means checking salt corrosion at eaves, underlayment condition, and fastener integrity.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote, no surprises. You get a fixed number for tear-off, decking repair if needed, underlayment, new CGI panels, flashing, and cleanup. Permits and inspections are listed separately. The price doesn’t move unless you change the scope.
4. 4
   Permit pull and schedule. We handle Fort Lauderdale building permits and coordinate inspections. No shortcuts on code compliance.
5. 5
   The replacement, done right. We strip to decking, repair any rotted wood, lay new underlayment, flash every penetration, and install your new CGI roof to factory spec. Our crew is background-checked and wears Winslow uniforms.
6. 6
   Inspection, cleanup, and the Promise. We walk the job with you, remove every scrap, and leave the property clean. If it’s not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.
