AfterCGI Roof Repair in Boca Raton: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Boca Raton typically runs $350 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re sealing a leaking skylight curb, replacing damaged flashing around a dormer, or rebuilding a rotted soffit-to-roof transition. Most CGI repairs we handle are completed in a single visit, and we quote a firm price before any work begins. If you own a CGI product and you’re seeing water stains, lifted flashing, or daylight through your roof connection points, call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through what’s actually happening.
This page is for Boca Raton homeowners who have CGI windows, doors, or impact-rated products integrated into their roofline and need repair work done correctly. As an independent CGI service provider, we see the same failure modes year after year in Boca Raton neighborhoods – from leaky flashing junctions in Broken Sound to wind-lifted ridge caps near Mizner Park. We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether it’s worth fixing before you spend a dollar.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Flashing separation at CGI roof-to-wall transitions. CGI’s Targa and Estate Collection window and door systems are built like tanks, but the flashing kits where they meet a roofline rely on sealant that Boca Raton’s heat-plus-humidity cycle breaks down in 5 to 7 years. We regularly find gaps where the head flashing has pulled away from the stucco, letting water run behind the CGI frame and into the roof deck. Our fix: remove the old flashing, inspect the CGI mounting flange for corrosion, install new step flashing with proper overlap, and reseal with a UV-stable polyurethane that holds up to direct sun.
- Skylight curb rot around CGI curb-mounted units. CGI’s Sentinel line of curb-mounted skylights uses a welded frame that rarely fails on its own – the wooden curb underneath is the weak link. In Boca Raton’s rainy season, a small leak at the curb-to-deck connection rots the wood from the inside out. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the curb is often too far gone to save. We rebuild the curb with pressure-treated lumber, reflash the CGI unit at the correct height, and reset the skylight so the next leak is decades away.
- Ridge vent blow-off on low-slope roofs with CGI integrated trim. Homes along the Intracoastal in Boca Raton get hammered by summer squalls, and we’ve pulled more than a few CGI roof-to-eave transition pieces off after storms. The issue isn’t the CGI product – it’s that the original installer used standard roofing nails instead of the high-wind attachment schedule CGI specifies. We reattach with the correct fastener pattern, add a secondary seal at the lap joints, and bed the leading edge so wind can’t get under it.
- Condensation weeping at CGI fixed-glass-to-roof intersections. This one shows up in homes with cathedral ceilings, particularly older CGI Estate fixed units. If the roof insulation wasn’t brought tight to the CGI frame at installation, warm interior air hits the cool aluminum and drips. Homeowners assume it’s a roof leak, but it’s usually a thermal bridge. We open the interior, seal the air gap at the CGI frame with closed-cell foam, and reflash the exterior so both the leak and the condensation are gone.
- Corroded fasteners on CGI coastal-installed roof accessories. Boca Raton homes within a mile of the ocean deal with salt spray that eats standard zinc-coated screws in 3 to 4 years. On CGI roof hatch frames and vented CGI skylight bases, we swap in 316 stainless fasteners during every repair. A $12 fastener upgrade today saves a $600 leak repair in five years. We see this on nearly every coastal job we open up.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call, a real person answers. No voicemail, no call center. We ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and whether you have a CGI label photo we can reference. That tells us which series we’re dealing with before we even arrive.
- 2
We inspect the whole connection, not just the stain. A CGI roof leak is usually a symptom of something happening 4 to 6 feet away. We trace water from the visible damage back to the source – flashing, curb, transition, or sealant line – before we quote anything.
- 3
We give you a firm price with a parts decision. If OEM CGI parts are available and warranted, we’d rather use them. If lead times are weeks out and you’re dealing with active water, we’ll show you an aftermarket option that matches or exceeds the original spec and let you decide. No pressure, no markup games.
- 4
The repair happens the way we’d do it on Ed’s house. Fasteners to spec, sealants rated for South Florida UV, flashing lapped the correct direction, everything water-shedding the way it should. Background-checked techs in uniform, and you’ll know exactly who’s on your roof.
- 5
We test before we leave. Water test at the repair point, inspection of the interior, photos of every step. If it holds under direct water contact, it’ll hold in a Boca Raton storm.
- 6
You get the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right – that’s a hundred-year standard, and Ed’s name is on the truck. My name’s on the truck, so the work has to be right.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been local since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up in Miami learning that South Florida weather doesn’t forgive sloppy work. He studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College and spent nearly two decades doing windows and doors one job at a time before Winslow ever existed. These days you’ll find our CGI repairs all over Boca Raton – from quiet cul-de-sacs in Broken Sound to older homes along Federal Highway that needed a serious upgrade.
When a CGI product ties into a roof, you need someone who understands both sides of that junction. We install PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems as well, so when your CGI repair touches another brand’s product, we’re not guessing – we know how they interface. Every technician is background-checked and in uniform. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise is the standard, the published address and license number are there because we have nothing to hide, and calls get answered 24/7 by a live person. We’re the one down the road.
FAQs
No, not when it’s done correctly. We follow CGI’s published installation and flashing specifications on every repair, and we document the work with photos and a written summary you can keep. As an independent CGI service provider, we’re not affiliated with the manufacturer, but we’re careful to work within their tolerances so your warranty stays intact.
Usually yes. CGI maintains distribution in South Florida, and common parts like Sentinel skylight curbs and Targa flashing kits are generally available within a week. When lead times stretch, we’ll offer a quality aftermarket equivalent and explain the difference in plain terms before you commit to anything.
Most CGI roof repairs in Boca Raton are scheduled within a few days of your call. If you’re actively taking water, we prioritize your job and can usually get a tech to your home quickly. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll give you a straight answer on when we can be there.
If the CGI product itself is sound, repair is almost always the cheaper and smarter move. We’ll tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense – for example, if a Sentinel skylight is 20 years old with a failing insulated glass unit, you might be better off replacing the whole assembly than repairing the curb underneath it. Either way, you’ll get a straight recommendation, not an upsell.
We do when the repair scope requires it. Simple flashing and sealant work doesn’t need a permit in most Boca Raton jurisdictions, but if the repair involves structural components or reroofing sections, we handle the permit and inspection process and let you know what’s coming in the estimate.
Every repair carries our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. We also stand behind our workmanship with a written guarantee, and we’re here by phone 24/7 if something doesn’t look right after the next Boca Raton storm.
