AfterCGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI shingle, tile & metal roofing in Palm Beach is a specialty we handle as an independent CGI service provider, not a brand-authorized shop. Most CGI roof work we take on is priced honestly and turned around in one to three days once parts are in hand. We service CGI roofs alongside the windows and doors that carry the same name, so when a homeowner calls us about a CGI roof concern, we already understand the house as a system.
This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who installed a CGI roof and now need straight answers. If you see a loose tile, a lifting shingle, or water staining after a storm, call (561) 782-7525. We’ll tell you what we think before we ever send a truck.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds impact-rated products, but the Palm Beach climate doesn’t do favors to any roof. Salt air, intense UV, and hurricane-driven rain expose weak points faster than most homeowners expect. Here’s what we see on CGI roofs in this part of Florida.
- Underlayment breakdown beneath CGI’s tile and metal profiles. We regularly pull up CGI tile in neighborhoods like El Cid and find the original underlayment has cooked to the consistency of potato chips. The tile looks fine from the curb, but the waterproof layer beneath it is gone. We lift the affected tile, replace the underlayment with a self-adhered high-temp product rated for South Florida attic conditions, and reset the tile to CGI’s original pattern.
- Flashing failures around penetrations on CGI metal roof panels. Pipe boots and vent flashings on standing-seam and corrugated CGI metal roofs degrade faster here than the panels themselves. We see UV-cracked rubber boots within five to seven years of install. The fix is a silicone boot replacement and re-securing the flashing to CGI’s panel profile, then a water test to confirm the seal holds.
- Hydrostatic pressure lifting tiles at eaves. During Palm Beach’s summer downpour cycles, water backs up against clogged gutters and pushes under the first course of CGI tiles. That’s not a tile problem, it’s a drainage problem. We clear the gutter run, inspect the drip edge, and reset the lifted tiles with proper fasteners rated for wind uplift.
- Nail pops and shingle seal failure on CGI asphalt shingle roofs. CGI shingle roofs in coastal Palm Beach are exposed to constant thermal cycling. Shingles expand and contract daily, and after enough cycles, the adhesive strips lose grip and fasteners back out. We replace popped nails with ring-shank fasteners and re-seal lifted tabs, or section-replace shingles that have cracked at the fastener point.
- Corrosion at panel seams on older CGI metal roofs near the Intracoastal. We see it most on homes within a half-mile of the waterway. Salt-laden air sits on the seam caps and eats the protective coating. We treat the corrosion, apply a zinc-rich primer, and recoat the seam. On panels where the substrate is compromised, we section-replace and match the profile so the patch disappears into the roofline.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every CGI roof job we run follows the same path. Here’s how it works when you call us for shingle, tile, or metal roof work in Palm Beach.
- 1
Call and talk to a real person. You reach a live voice at (561) 782-7525. We ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and whether any water has entered the house. We schedule a visit.
- 2
We diagnose on the roof, not from a photo. Our tech walks the roof, checks the CGI profile in place, and identifies the failure point. We take photos you can see and explain the issue in plain English.
- 3
We give you a written line-item price. No vague numbers. You see the parts cost, the labor, and the timeline before you approve anything.
- 4
We decide on parts together. For CGI work, we explain when OEM makes sense and when a quality aftermarket component performs as well or better for less money. The choice stays yours.
- 5
We fix, test, and clean up. The repair gets a water test where applicable, fasteners are checked, and the site is left the way we found it, minus the problem.
- 6
We stand behind it. Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it isn’t done right, we make it right.

What moves the price: roof pitch, height, whether we can match the CGI profile, and how much damage the water already did before you caught it. You’ll know your number before we start. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate, and if you have a written estimate from another company, bring it in. We’ll give you a second opinion at no charge.

FAQs
As an independent CGI service provider, we don’t make warranty decisions for the manufacturer. What we do is use fasteners, sealants, and methods that align with the roof’s original installation standards so your warranty position stays as strong as possible. If we see a factory-defect pattern, we’ll tell you to file a claim before spending money on repairs. Call (561) 782-7525 to talk it through.
Yes. We document the existing CGI line, color code, and profile before ordering, and we source from suppliers who stock the Palm Beach market. Color matching on tile and painted metal is rarely perfect due to sun fading, but we’ll show you the closest match before we install it so there are no surprises.
Most CGI roof work we schedule within a few days of diagnosis. Parts availability is the only variable that stretches that timeline. If your roof is actively leaking, call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll tarp what’s needed to stop further damage while parts come in.
That depends on two things: the age of the roof and whether the underlayment has failed across a large area. If the tiles or panels are sound and the issue is localized, repair makes more sense. If the underlayment is failing in multiple sections or the fasteners are backing out everywhere, replacement starts to pencil out. We’ll tell you which side of the line you’re on, not which side makes us more money.
Yes, and they’re permanent. You get $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and 10% off for seniors and veterans. These offers never expire. Call (561) 782-7525 to schedule.
