AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Boca Raton: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Boca Raton is work we handle as an independent CGI service provider. Most jobs take one to two days once materials are on site, and we quote a fixed price before any work begins. If the roof frame is out of square or the old flashing detail was never sealed properly, the new panel will bind or leak, and that is exactly the kind of problem we correct. This page is written for homeowners who own CGI roof systems, skylights, or related CGI fenestration products and want the replacement done right the first time. Call (561) 264-1337 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid product. Most failures we see in Boca Raton are installation-related or come from twenty years of salt air and hurricane cycles. Here are the five failure modes we see most often on CGI roof work:
- Flashing separation at the roof-to-wall transition on CGI Sentinel and CGI Estate Collection units. Flashings are often set with a single bead of sealant and left a few inches short of the corner. South Florida afternoon thunderstorms force water sideways, not down, and a short flashing leaks inside the wall cavity, not the room. We find it with a water test, pull the old flashing, reset the reveal, and seal the full lap with a urethane formulated for coastal exposure.
- Sagging or bowed roof panels from improper curb framing. CGI roof panels are heavy, and if the original curb was framed from unseasoned lumber or spaced too wide, the panel deflects and the glazing channel opens over time. We see this most on CGI operable skylights. The fix is not caulk. We reframe the curb to manufacturer spec, then reset the panel so it drains and seals the way CGI engineered it.
- Seized operators and hinge corrosion on CGI ventilating roof units. Salt spray from the Intracoastal and the ocean works into the gear tracks, and within a few years the crank will not turn without force. Homeowners sometimes keep cranking until the gear strips. We replace the operator assembly with the correct OEM part and coat the new hardware before it goes in. That extra five minutes is the difference between a repair that lasts three years and one that lasts twelve.
- Fogged or milky glass on CGI flat-glass roof sections. This is a broken seal, and it cannot be repaired. The glass unit gets replaced. The part that matters is identifying why the seal failed. If the panel was pitched too flat, water pooled at the edge and attacked the sealant from day one. We correct the pitch when we reset the new unit, because replacing the glass on a bad pitch just guarantees a callback in a few years.
- Water staining at drywall corners far from the window or roof opening. This is the one that confuses people. The leak often starts at a roof flashing ten feet away, runs along a rafter, and shows itself at the first interior corner it finds. We trace the path with a moisture meter before we open anything up. On CGI work in Boca Raton, the most common source is a cracked cap flashing above the roof assembly, not the roof unit itself.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every CGI roof job follows the same order, whether it is a single panel replacement or a full roof assembly install. Here is how it goes:
- 1
You call, a live person answers. We ask targeted questions about the symptom, pull up the CGI spec sheets, and schedule a site visit.
- 2
We inspect the full assembly, not just the visible problem. That means the curb, the flashing, the pitch, the drainage path, and the operator hardware. A roof leak is rarely where the stain appears.
- 3
We quote side by side on paper. If an OEM CGI part is the right call, that is what you get. If a quality aftermarket part performs identically and saves you money without touching the warranty, we show you both and let you decide.
- 4
The work happens in a single visit where possible. We protect the interior, remove the old unit, correct any framing or flashing issues, and set the new CGI product to manufacturer spec.
- 5
We test before we clean up. A water test, a dry run of every operator, and a visual on the seal. If the pane is not true or the seal is not tight, the job is not done.
- 6
You get the Keystone Standard paperwork. Both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Boca Raton
CGI roof work in Boca Raton is priced by the unit, the access, and what we find once the old assembly comes out. Here are the ranges we most often quote:
- CGI flat-glass roof panel replacement: $850-$1,900 per panel, depending on glass makeup and size.
- CGI operable skylight replacement: $1,800-$4,200 installed, with operator hardware included when required.
- Flashing and curb rebuild around an existing CGI roof unit: $700-$1,700, depending on the extent of framing repairs and the flashing detail required.
- Full CGI roof section replacement on a larger assembly: $6,000-$14,000, with exact pricing set only after we see the framing and measure every opening.
What moves the price is framing condition, roof pitch, and whether we are working from the interior or the exterior. We do not do change orders, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate on your specific CGI roof assembly.

FAQs
No, when the replacement is done correctly and documented. The warranty lives in the installation details, the registered paperwork, and the parts chosen. We register both warranty layers in writing on every job, including CGI roof replacements, so you have a paper trail if anything ever comes back on the product. Call (561) 264-1337 and we will walk you through what your specific CGI warranty covers before any work starts.
In most cases, yes. CGI uses specific frame finishes and glass makeups that are still available through OEM supply lines. We measure the existing unit, match the glass type and tint, and quote side by side so you see exactly what you are getting. If an exact match is no longer available, we will tell you before you spend a dollar, not after the old unit is out. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
We do when the repair will hold. A failed operator, a cracked flashing, or a minor seal fix can be done as a repair. A fogged glass unit, a bowed panel, or a rotted curb is a replacement job, and we will tell you which one yours is without pushing you toward the more expensive option. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is fixed.
A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you will never leave a message and wait for a callback. For active leaks, we prioritize the call and get a technician out to stop the water, then schedule the full repair or replacement. Most CGI roof replacements are completed within one to two days once parts are on site. Call (561) 264-1337 and we will give you an honest timeline, not a promise we cannot keep.
With proper installation, a CGI roof assembly in this climate should give you twenty years or more of service. The climate is the wildcard. Salt air, hurricane-force wind cycles, and intense UV shorten the life of sealants and hardware. That is why we use coastal-rated materials and take the time to correct pitch and flashing before setting the new unit. If it is not square and it is not sealed, it is not done.
