AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Boca Raton: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Boca Raton means swapping out an aging or storm-damaged CGI roof system for a new one built to hold up against hurricanes, salt air, and relentless sun. We do this work as an independent CGI service provider, not a factory store, and most full replacements take three to five working days depending on roof size and whether we’re also replacing underlayment or flashing. You’ll get a written, line-item quote before we start, and the price we give you is the price you pay.
This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who have CGI roofing products already on their homes or are looking to install CGI on a new build or re-roof. If you’re hearing rattles, seeing lifted seams, or just want to know what your roof will cost next year, call (561) 816-5648 and talk to a real person. Likely Ed Winslow or someone who works directly with him every day.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI makes a solid product. We’ve installed enough of it across Boca Raton to know where it holds up and where it doesn’t. Here’s what we actually see on job sites, not what a brochure tells you.
- Lifted and torn flashing on CGI metal roof panels. On older CGI standing seam and corrugated metal roofs, the flashing at eaves and penetrations takes the worst of Boca Raton’s afternoon thunderstorms. Wind-driven rain works under the seam, and the screw gaskets dry out from UV exposure. The symptom is a drip that shows up nowhere near where the leak actually is. We trace the water path, replace the flashing with proper gauge metal, and re-seat every fastener with new gaskets before re-securing the panel.
- Fastener back-out on CGI tile-over metal systems. CGI’s tile profile panels use mechanical fasteners that can loosen over years of thermal expansion. The panels flex, the fasteners back out a fraction of an inch, and you get chatter on windy days. Left alone, the panel works loose enough to lift. Our fix is a full fastener replacement pattern, not just tightening the ones that are loose, plus a check of the clip system underneath.
- Corrosion at coastal cutoff points. Homes east of Federal Highway in Boca Raton sit close enough to the ocean that salt spray accelerates corrosion at any place where factory finish was cut on site. CGI’s finish is good, but a raw cut edge is a raw cut edge. We see rust starting at ridge cuts and gable ends within five to seven years. We treat every cut edge with a corrosion inhibitor and touch-up coating matched to the factory color before installing trim, which is a step a lot of crews skip because it adds a few hours.
- Underlayment failure on CGI shingle-style roofs. CGI’s asphalt shingle lines, installed correctly, do their job. But in Boca Raton’s humidity, an underlayment that wasn’t rated for high heat will bake and crack beneath the shingles, leaving the deck exposed. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the underlayment has been compromised for months. When we replace a CGI shingle roof, we always strip to the deck and inspect what’s under it. Half the “roof failures” we fix in Boca Raton are really underlayment failures nobody caught because they didn’t look.
- Improper original installation on CGI systems from builder-grade crews. This is the one nobody wants to hear, but it’s the truth. A meaningful share of the CGI roofs we replace in Boca Raton weren’t bad roofs. They were good products installed by crews that rushed the details, skipped the right fastener count, or never read CGI’s installation manual. When we re-roof, we’re not just replacing panels. We’re correcting the mistakes underneath so the new system actually performs the way CGI designed it to.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s exactly how a CGI replacement job runs with our crew, from the first call to the final walkaround.
- 1
You call, we answer. A live person picks up at (561) 816-5648, day or night. We ask what’s going on, take your address, and schedule a visit at a time that works. No phone trees.
- 2
On-site inspection and measurements. Ed or one of our senior techs walks the roof, takes precise measurements, checks the deck, the flashing, and the condition of anything underneath that’ll affect the new system. We photograph everything so you can see what we’re seeing.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM versus tested aftermarket. We always prefer genuine CGI components when they’re available and priced sanely. When lead times or costs get unreasonable, we’ll present a quality aftermarket option that matches spec and tell you plainly what trade-offs exist. You decide, with our recommendation.
- 4
Written, line-item quote. You get a fixed price with no change-order games. The quote says exactly what we’re installing, what materials we’re using, and what it costs. If the scope doesn’t change, neither does the number.
- 5
Removal and replacement. We strip the old roof, repair or replace damaged decking and underlayment, install the new CGI system per manufacturer spec, and handle flashing, trim, and ridge details correctly. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed, and they clean up every day before they leave.
- 6
Final inspection and the 36500-Day promise. We walk the roof together. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before we call the job done. If something goes wrong later, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s a hundred years of accountability, and we mean it.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Boca Raton
Straight numbers help. Here’s what CGI work typically runs in Boca Raton as of this year. Your exact quote depends on roof size, pitch, current deck condition, and which CGI line you choose.
- CGI metal roof replacement (standing seam or tile profile), average Boca Raton single-family home: $22,000 to $48,000 depending on roof square footage and whether new underlayment is required.
- CGI asphalt shingle roof replacement: $12,000 to $26,000 for most homes in neighborhoods like Broken Sound, Boca Del Mar, or areas along Clint Moore Road.
- CGI flashings, ridge caps, and trim replacement only (no full re-roof): $1,800 to $6,500 depending on the number of penetrations and linear feet of ridge.
- Underlayment replacement beneath existing CGI metal panels: $8,000 to $18,000, including panel removal and reinstallation.
What moves the price most: whether the deck is rotten (we’ll know at inspection), how steep the roof is, and whether you’re in a coastal zone that requires upgraded fasteners and corrosion treatment. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate. We’ll give you a real number, not a range with a wink.

FAQs
Does replacing my CGI roof void the manufacturer’s warranty? No. As an independent CGI service provider, we install strictly according to CGI’s published specifications, and a properly done replacement does not void manufacturer coverage. We document every install with photos so if a warranty claim ever comes up, you have the evidence to support it.
How long does a CGI roof replacement take in Boca Raton? Most replacements run three to five working days from tear-off to final walkaround. If the deck needs significant repairs or we’re replacing underlayment beneath existing panels, add a day or two. We’ll give you a schedule at quote and stick to it.
Should I replace my CGI roof or just repair it? If the panels themselves are sound but flashing and fasteners are failing, a targeted repair usually makes sense and costs far less. If the deck beneath is compromised, multiple panels are lifting, or the system is past its expected life, replacement is the honest answer. We’ll tell you which one we’d do if it were our house, and we’ll show you photos so you can make the call with confidence.
Can you match my existing CGI color and profile on a partial replacement? In most cases, yes. CGI’s color offerings have stayed reasonably consistent, and we can order panels to match your existing profile. On older roofs with sun fading, we’ll be honest about what a new panel next to an old one will look like, and we’ll present options before you spend a dime.
Do you pull permits in Boca Raton? Yes. Roof replacement in Boca Raton requires permitting, and we handle the entire process, including inspections. No shortcuts, no “we’ll handle it later.” The permit gets pulled before the first panel comes off. For a precise quote on your CGI roof, call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll come out for a free estimate.
