AfterCGI Roof Repair in Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Palm Beach typically runs between $350 and $1,800 depending on whether we’re resealing flashing around a skylight or replacing rotted roof-to-wall transition panels on a storm-rated system. Most CGI repairs we handle are completed in a single day because we stock the common parts locally and don’t wait on shipments from out of state. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we repair what’s already on your roof without any manufacturer red tape slowing the job down. If you’ve got a leak, missing fastener, or corroded transition on a CGI roof system, call (561) 782-7525 and a real person picks up.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds storm-rated products, but no roof component survives forever in Palm Beach’s salt air and afternoon downpours. These are the failure patterns we see most often on CGI roofs in this area:
- Roof-to-wall transition corrosion on older CGI Sentinel series installs. The original galvanized flashing used on early 2000s Sentinel residential jobs in neighborhoods like El Cid and Sunshine Park starts rusting at the fasteners first. Water follows the rust path into the roof deck. We cut out the corroded section, replace it with marine-grade aluminum or stainless, and re-seal with a polyurethane sealant rated for coastal exposure. We don’t patch over rust, because it comes back.
- Cracked sealant at curb-mounted skylights on CGI Commercial Series roofs. Palm Beach gets 230-plus days of intense sun a year. The factory sealant on curb-mounted penetrations dries out, shrinks, and separates. The leak looks like it’s coming from the skylight itself, but it’s almost always the interface between the CGI panel and the curb. We strip the old sealant, clean the surface, and re-bed with a high-movement sealant that handles thermal expansion without tearing.
- Blown gaskets at panel laps on CGI Estate Collection roofs. CGI’s panel lap design uses an EPDM gasket to compress between overlapping panels. After enough hurricane-pattern cycling and UV exposure, the gasket loses memory and water wicks through the lap under wind-driven rain. We replace the gasket strip and re-torque fasteners to the manufacturer’s published spec. Skipping this step is why some homeowners get a “repaired” roof that leaks in the next tropical storm.
- Fastener back-out on CGI roof panels after repeated thermal cycling. Metal expands and contracts at a different rate than the wood or steel below it. Palm Beach’s heat-and-rain cycles loosen fasteners over time, especially on south-facing slopes. Loose fasteners mean panel flutter in high wind and eventual water intrusion. We re-seat fasteners, install oversized washers where the holes have wallowed out, and check the surrounding panel substrate for rot before it extends.
- Ponding water at low-slope transitions on CGI residential roof additions. A lot of Palm Beach homes with CGI roofing have flat or low-slope additions over patios, garages, or pool enclosures. The transition between the sloped CGI roof and the low-slope section is a common weak point. We rebuild the transition with proper cricketing and lay a peel-and-stick membrane under the CGI to keep water moving off instead of sitting.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
Here’s how a CGI roof repair with Winslow actually goes, from first call to final walkthrough:
- 1
You call, a person answers. Day or night. We get your address, listen to what you’re seeing, and schedule a look at the roof. No ticket numbers, no call centers.
- 2
We diagnose on the roof, not from the driveway. Ed Winslow and our roofing techs get on the roof and trace the leak, the corrosion, or the loose panel back to its actual source. A leak on a CGI roof can show up ten feet from where the water is actually getting in.
- 3
We quote you a fixed price with line items. You see exactly what we’re replacing, which parts, and what it costs. We don’t give a range and then “discover” problems once the work starts. The price we quote is the price you pay.
- 4
We decide on OEM or quality aftermarket parts with you. Some CGI parts are worth waiting for; some aftermarket equivalents meet or exceed spec. We’ll tell you which is which and why, then you choose. For warranty-sensitive components, we default to factory parts without you having to ask.
- 5
We do the repair, test it, and clean up. We water-test every repair before we pack up. No exceptions. Then we leave your property cleaner than we found it and send you a written summary of what was done and what we recommend watching over the next few years.
- 6
The Done Right Promise applies to every CGI repair. If it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. That’s the whole promise, and there’s no fine print on it.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Palm Beach
We give exact quotes after seeing your roof, but here’s what CGI repairs in Palm Beach realistically cost based on the jobs we do most weeks:
- Resealing skylight or pipe penetration flashing: $350 to $650
- Replacing a corroded roof-to-wall transition (up to 10 linear feet): $500 to $950
- Blown lap gasket replacement (per panel lap): $250 to $450 per lap

- Emergency tarp and leak stabilization after a storm: $400 to $700, applied toward your repair if we do the permanent fix
What moves the price: how steep your roof is, how difficult the access, how much corroded substrate has to be removed, and whether we’re matching an active warranty on factory parts.

FAQs
In most cases, no, as long as the repair preserves the original installation method and uses parts that meet the manufacturer’s published specs. That’s why we default to factory components on warranty-sensitive areas like panel laps and fasteners. If we recommend an aftermarket part, it’s because we’ve verified it meets or exceeds the original spec. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s warranty-safe before any work starts. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll evaluate your specific CGI product and warranty terms.
If we’ve got the parts in stock and the weather cooperates, most CGI roof repairs are finished the same day we’re on site. We stock common CGI fasteners, gaskets, and sealants locally, but certain series-specific parts can take a few days if they have to come from the manufacturer. If you’ve got an active leak, we’ll get you stabilized with tarping or temporary sealing before the permanent repair goes in. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll set a timeline based on your specific damage.
Repair is the right call when the damage is isolated to flashing, fasteners, gaskets, or sealant, and the roof deck itself is sound. Replacement starts making sense when you’re chasing multiple leaks across multiple slopes, when the roof deck has rotted in several places, or when the panels themselves are damaged beyond re-sealing. We’ll give you our honest read, and if repair is the better move, we’ll say so even though replacement costs more. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you which direction actually saves you money.

No. In fourteen years of doing this, our fixed price on the estimate is the price on the invoice, unless you ask us to do additional work outside the original scope. What we quote is what you pay.

We’d rather have you trust us on the next repair than make an extra few hundred on this one. Call (561) 782-7525 for your free estimate.
