CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Boca Raton: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI shingle, tile, and metal roofing service in Boca Raton, with most repair calls handled the same week and replacement work scheduled in writing before we start. As an independent CGI service provider, we are not affiliated with the manufacturer, which means we answer to you, not to a factory warranty department. If you own a CGI roof and something is off, call us at (561) 264-1337 and we will tell you straight what it takes to fix it.
This page is for homeowners who already chose CGI and now need someone who knows the product well enough to keep it performing. Whether it is a lifted shingle after a summer squall, a cracked tile near the ridge, or a metal panel that is starting to work loose at the seam, we start every job with a physical inspection and an honest price before any work begins.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a good product. But every roof system has a way it lets go in Southeast Florida, and we see the same patterns repeat block after block in Boca Raton homes. Here is what we find most often, and what we do about it:
- Lifted CGI shingles at the rake edge. The CGI StormClad and WindShield shingle lines carry a strong wind rating, but the rake edge takes the first hit in a coastal breeze pattern. When the seal strip loses adhesion to the underlying course, the shingle flutters and eventually tears. We pull the affected shingles, clean the contact point, reset with proper adhesive, and resecure with mechanical fasteners where the original install left none.
- Barrel tile cracking at the ridge on CGI tile profiles. CGI’s tile line mimics the weight and profile of traditional concrete barrel tile. The weak point is not the tile itself; it is the mortar bedding at the ridge. Boca Raton’s wet-dry cycle swells and contracts the mortar until it crumbles, then the tile shifts and hairline cracks start. We reset the ridge line, replace broken tile, and re-bed with a flexible sealant that moves with the weather instead of fighting it.
- Standing seam panel noise and oil-canning on CGI metal roofs. We see this on the CGI Sierra and Horizon metal panels. Oil-canning, that wavy distortion in the flat of the panel, is often from panel clips that were over-tightened at install. Over time the panel metal expands and contracts, and the stressed area starts to bow. We replace the clips at proper tension and re-flatten the affected panel. It will not be perfect, but it will be true.
- Underlayment failure showing through flawless-looking CGI shingles. This is the one that frustrates owners. The shingles look fine, but there is a slow leak at the valley or around a penetration. The culprit is almost always the underlayment, which breaks down after years of trapped heat. We remove the shingle course at the leak point, replace the underlayment section, and relay the shingles so the repair does not show.
- Flashing separation at CGI pipe boots and chimney bases. Florida sun is hard on flashing sealant. We see this across all CGI lines, but it is most visible on metal roofs where the flashing rings the pipe penetrations. The old sealant dries, cracks, and pulls away from the metal. We strip the old seal, clean the surface, and re-apply a marine-grade flashing compound sized for the opening. Then we check the fasteners to make sure the boot is not moving.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Here is how a CGI roof job goes with us, start to finish:
- 1
Call (561) 264-1337. A real person answers, day or night. You describe the symptom, we set a time to come look.
- 2
Inspection on the roof. Our technician walks the roof, takes pictures, and shows you what he found. No diagnosis from the ground, no guesswork.
- 3
Written line-item estimate. You get the price on paper before any work starts. We tell you which parts we recommend and why.
- 4
The repair. We use OEM CGI components when the job calls for them, and quality aftermarket materials when they perform better or the factory part is unavailable. We explain the trade-off before we choose.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We water-test the repair where possible, inspect the surrounding area for hidden damage, and leave your roof and yard clean.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If the work we did is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no fine print. The Keystone Standard means the warranty details are in writing before we leave.
What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Boca Raton
Honest numbers, because you should know the range before you call:
- Small shingle repair (a few lifted or torn tabs): $225-$450
- Ridge tile reset with mortar replacement (typical 6-8 foot section): $400-$750
- Underlayment patch and shingle relay at a valley or penetration: $500-$900
- Flashing replacement at a pipe boot or chimney base: $300-$600
- Standing seam clip replacement (per affected panel): $250-$500
- Full CGI roof replacement (per square, architectural shingle): $350-$550
What moves the price is access, pitch, and condition of the decking. Steep roofs, two-story homes, and rotten decking add labor and material cost. Tile roofs cost more to work on than shingle; metal costs more than both. We give you a fixed price with no change orders. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have been serving local communities since 2008, which means we have seen every roof product come through this market, including the ones that did not hold up. Dale Kessler grew up in the Boca Teeca neighborhood, so when we say we know how Boca Raton roofs behave in August, it is not a guess. We hire local, train our technicians into journeymen, and background-check everyone who steps onto your property. When a CGI part is backordered or the roof needs a different brand to match, we are authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so you are not stuck waiting on one supplier. We show up when we say we will, we quote a square deal, and we stand behind it in writing.
FAQs
Maybe not. We use OEM CGI parts where available, and we document every repair with photos and a written description, so if a future factory claim comes up, you have records. We are an independent CGI service provider, which means the factory warranty belongs to you, not the contractor who did the repair. We will tell you before we start if a repair might affect a warranty and how to avoid that.
We can usually source the factory color chip from CGI’s current catalog, and we will show you a physical sample against your roof before we order. Colors fade in the Boca Raton sun, so sometimes the new piece is slightly brighter than the old. We will tell you if that is likely to be noticeable before we install it.
Most shingle and tile repairs are done in a single visit, about two to three hours on site, including setup and cleanup. Metal panel work can take longer if we have to order clips or matching panels. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact timeline on your roof.
That depends on the age of the roof, the condition of the underlayment, and how many repairs it has needed in the last few years. We will show you what we find with pictures and give you a straight answer on the remaining life of the roof. We do not push replacement when a repair holds, and we do not patch a roof that is past saving.
Yes. We are authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we service those lines alongside CGI. If your home has a mix of brands, we can handle it on the same call.
If your CGI roof is showing signs of wear, or you just want a professional set of eyes on it before hurricane season, call (561) 264-1337. The estimate is free, the phone is answered by a person, and the work is done right or it is not done.
