AfterCGI Roof Repair in Fountainebleau: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Fountainebleau runs $275 to $1,800 for most jobs, and we complete the typical repair in one visit. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory warranty center, which means we diagnose the actual cause of the leak or failure before quoting anything. Call (727) 620-6983 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree.
This page is for Fountainebleau homeowners who own a CGI roof product, often a CGI skylight, roof hatch, or the roofing-adjacent flashing and curb systems CGI integrates with, and have noticed a leak, a rattle, or water staining on the ceiling. Ed Winslow grew up a few blocks from Tamiami Park and still lives in the same zip code, so the houses we work on belong to neighbors, not job tickets. We’ll give you an honest read on whether that CGI component needs repair or full replacement.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds impact-rated products designed for South Florida’s hurricane reality, but every product line has known failure modes we see regularly in Fountainebleau. Here’s what actually goes wrong and how we address it:
- CGI impact skylight seal degradation at the curb. On the CGI Estate and Sentinel skylight lines, the factory sealant between the glazing and the curb frame breaks down faster in Fountainebleau’s sun exposure than on north-facing installs. Water doesn’t pour through on day one; it seeps, darkens the ceiling drywall, and gets blamed on the roof membrane. We identify the real source, remove the old sealant, replace it with a commercial-grade marine sealant, and reseat the gasket.
- CGI roof hatch gasket compression set. The CGI commercial roof hatches on Fountainebleau flat and low-slope roofs use a compressible EPDM gasket that permanently flattens over time, usually within seven to nine years. The symptom is a persistent drip during afternoon thunderstorms. We replace the gasket with upgraded closed-cell material and verify the hatch still opens smoothly after a 48-hour compression test.
- CGI flashing interface failure where roof meets frame. On tile and metal roof re-roofs in Fountainebleau, we regularly see improperly lapped flashing at the CGI curb. Water rides the tile valley, hits the frame, and finds the gap. Our techs cut back the old flashing, install a new peel-and-stick underlayment up the curb, and overlay with matching metal step flashing so the system drains the way it was designed to.
- Impact crack propagation from debris strikes. CGI products are rated for impact, but repeated hits, palm fronds and construction debris during summer storms, create micro-fractures along the glazing edge. Owners see a hairline crack they assume is only cosmetic. It is not. Water finds hairline cracks within weeks. We assess crack depth, repair when structural integrity is intact, and tell you honestly when a full glazing replacement is the only safe choice.
- Condensation between panes on CGI insulated units. The CGI StormGuard and related insulated lines can develop interior fogging when the desiccant between the panes saturates. This often shows up first in Fountainebleau homes with high indoor humidity or poor attic ventilation directly above the skylight well. We trace whether the source is a failed seal or a ventilation problem and recommend the fix that actually solves it, not just the one that masks it.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
Here’s how a CGI repair works when you call Winslow Windows & Doors:
- 1
You call (727) 620-6983. A live person answers, no phone tree. We ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and where the leak is on the ceiling relative to the CGI component. That question alone often tells us what we’ll find.
- 2
We diagnose on site. We come out, inspect the CGI product, the roof interface, and the surrounding roofing membrane. We look at the whole system, not just the visible crack or stain.
- 3
We give you a written line-item quote. No vague ballpark uttered from the ladder. You’ll see the exact line items: parts, labor, disposal, everything. Pricing is upfront, and it does not change once work starts.
- 4
We decide parts together. Some repairs warrant OEM CGI parts, especially when a warranty claim is in play. Other repairs are done better with proven aftermarket materials that outlast the factory spec in Fountainebleau’s humidity. We’ll show you the trade-off and the price difference.
- 5
We repair, test, and verify. The repair is done by a background-checked, uniformed technician. Then we water-test, inspect the interior, and confirm the issue is resolved before we clean up and leave.
- 6
The Done Right Promise applies. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the door, literally, and that means he answers for every job we do.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Fountainebleau
Repair costs for CGI products vary by what actually failed. Here are the ranges we quote in Fountainebleau:
- Sealant and gasket replacement on a CGI skylight or roof hatch: $275-$650
- Flashing repair at the roof-to-curb interface: $450-$1,100, depending on roofing type (tile, shingle, or metal)
- Insulated glass unit replacement for a failed CGI seal: $800-$1,800, varying by size and whether it’s impact-rated
- Crack repair on intact CGI glazing: $300-$700
- Full glazing replacement after structural impact damage: $1,200-$2,400, depending on the specific CGI line
What moves the price: access (two-story Fountainebleau homes with steep roof pitches cost more), whether the surrounding roof material is tile versus shingle, and whether we need OEM parts for a warranty claim. Every estimate is free, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. Call (727) 620-6983 for your exact number.

FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, Winslow Windows & Doors performs repairs using OEM parts or manufacturer-compatible materials where a factory warranty is still active, and we document everything so your claim stays intact. We’ll flag any repair approach that could affect coverage before we start work, not after.
Most CGI components, gaskets, curb kits, and glazing units, are available locally through Miami-Dade distributors within one to three business days. For older or discontinued CGI lines, we source through our network and quote you a realistic lead time before ordering. You’ll never be left waiting without a number to call.
Repair is usually the right call when the failure is a seal, gasket, or flashing issue, or when the glazing is intact and the unit is under 12 years old. Replacement makes more sense when the insulated glass seal has failed and the CGI line is discontinued, when impact cracks run deep, or when you’re re-roofing anyway and the curb needs to be rebuilt. We’ll show you the numbers for both paths and let you decide. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll come look for free.
It applies to any repair invoice over $200 on CGI or any other product we service. It’s a standing offer, not a promotional period. Same with the permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. No trick, no expiration.
