CGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Fountainebleau: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Fountainebleau typically runs $11,500 to $24,000 depending on roof size, material, and whether you’re doing a tear-off or overlay. As an independent CGI service provider, Winslow Windows & Doors handles the full job: tear-off, underlayment, decking repair, flashing, and the new roof system, with most Fountainebleau homes completed in 4 to 7 working days once materials land. We’re not going to pretend a new roof is cheap, but we will give you a real number before any work starts. If you own a CGI home in Fountainebleau and your roof is at the end of its life, call (727) 620-6983 and Ed or one of our crew will walk you through what you actually need.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI makes a solid building envelope, but Fountainebleau’s sun, salt air, and afternoon downpours find every weak point. Here’s what we see on CGI homes when the roof has to come off.
- Corroded fasteners on CGI’s metal roof profiles. We regularly find rusted screws and washers on CGI standing-seam and metal panel roofs in Fountainebleau after 8 to 12 years. The neoprene washers dry out and crack under our UV load, water seeps past the screw head, and the fastener rusts from the inside out. Most contractors replace the screw and call it fixed. We replace the entire fastener assembly with a marine-grade option rated for coastal Florida, because a new roof over corroded fasteners is a waste of your money.
- Flashing failures at CGI wall-to-roof transitions. On CGI homes with parapet walls and flat roof sections, the original flashing often wasn’t stepped correctly. Fountainebleau’s summer storms drive rain sideways, and water finds the gap between the flashing and the wall. When we re-roof, we pull the old flashing, inspect the wall sheathing behind it, and install a two-piece flashing system that actually overlaps the way it should.
- Ponding water on low-slope CGI roof areas. Some CGI floor plans in Fountainebleau have nearly flat roof sections over patios or carports. The original roof membrane degrades under standing water, and we’ve seen decking rot begin within 6 years when drainage wasn’t addressed. We re-slope with tapered insulation or add crickets so Fountainebleau’s rainy season doesn’t leave your roof under a permanent puddle.
- Underlayment breakdown beneath CGI tile roofs. The tile itself holds up fine. The 30-pound felt underneath doesn’t. On CGI tile roofs in Fountainebleau we’ve found underlayment that crumbles to dust when lifted, especially on south-facing slopes. If the underlayment is gone, your “waterproof” roof is one cracked tile away from a leak. We do a full tear-off down to the deck so the new underlayment actually gets installed correctly, not just stretched over rot.
- Improperly sealed roof penetrations. Vents, exhaust pipes, and satellite mounts on CGI roofs are sealed with whatever the original crew had in the truck. After a few Fountainebleau summers, the sealant shrinks and splits. We see this constantly. Our re-roof includes new boots, collars, and a urethane sealant rated for our heat and humidity, not a $6 tube of caulk from the hardware store.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s how a CGI roof replacement with Winslow Windows & Doors actually goes, from your first call to the final walkthrough.
- 1
You call (727) 620-6983. A live person answers, day or night. We schedule a time that works for you, and Ed shows up himself for the initial look. No sales rep, no middleman.
- 2
We inspect the whole roof system. Ed goes on the roof, checks the decking, flashing, underlayment, and drainage. He’ll tell you honestly if you need a full replacement or if a repair buys you five more years. We’ve talked plenty of Fountainebleau homeowners out of a new roof when they didn’t need one yet.
- 3
You get a written, line-item quote. Every material, every labor charge, the dumpster, the permit, the works. No vague “materials and labor” line. If another contractor gave you a written estimate, bring it. We’ll give you a free second opinion and we’ll beat it if we can do the job right at that price.
- 4
We pull the permit and order materials. Fountainebleau requires permits for re-roofs, and we handle that. Your quote includes permit fees. Materials are ordered to your home’s exact measurements, so you’re not paying for waste.
- 5
We tear off, repair, and install. The crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, every day until the job’s done. We replace rotted decking, install new underlayment, fix flashing, and lay the new roof system. We protect your landscaping and clean the site before we leave each evening.
- 6
Final inspection and the Done Right Promise. Ed walks the roof personally before we call it finished. Our Done Right Promise covers the work, which means if something isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. That’s a century’s worth of accountability.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fountainebleau
Roof replacement in Fountainebleau isn’t a one-price job. Here are real ranges for the CGI homes we work on.
- Full tear-off and re-roof, asphalt shingle: $11,500 to $16,800 for a typical 1,800 to 2,400 sq ft CGI home in Fountainebleau.
- Full tear-off and re-roof, standing seam metal: $18,000 to $26,400. Metal costs more upfront, but you’re looking at 40+ years in Florida’s climate.
- CGI tile roof replacement (underlayment, re-set existing tile): $13,000 to $19,500 if your tile is still in good shape. New tile adds $8,000 to $14,000 depending on profile.
- Decking repair during re-roof: $85 to $140 per sheet, only if we find rot. We show you the rot before we replace it.
- Flashing replacement and wall repairs: $1,200 to $3,000 depending on how much of the original flashing failed.
What moves the price: roof pitch (steeper is more labor), number of penetrations, how much decking needs replacing, and material choice. A straightforward single-story CGI home with a simple roof line will land at the low end. A two-story with a steep pitch and three skylights goes up. Your quote comes from Ed, not a software program, so the number you get is the number you pay. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate. No trip charge if you’re in our home county.

We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, every technician on your roof is background-checked and in uniform, and our pricing is upfront with no surprises on the invoice. If your CGI home also needs windows or doors down the line, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so you’re not juggling three contractors. My name’s on the door, literally. That means I answer for every job we do. The one down the road.
FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, replacing the roof system does not void your CGI product warranty on windows, doors, or other components, provided the roof work is done to code and doesn’t alter CGI’s structural connections. We document everything with photos so you have a record if a warranty claim ever comes up.
Most CGI homes in Fountainebleau are fully re-roofed in 4 to 7 working days, assuming weather cooperates. Tile roofs take a day or two longer because of the care involved in removing, storing, and re-setting tile. We give you a schedule before we start and we stick to it. Call (727) 620-6983 to get a timeline for your specific roof.
Sometimes. If the underlayment is intact and the decking is solid, a targeted repair makes sense. But if your CGI roof is past 15 years old and the underlayment is crumbling, a patch job is just buying time. Ed will tell you straight what your roof actually needs, even if that means telling you a repair will hold fine for now.
Yes. Every roof replacement we do in Fountainebleau is fully permitted, inspected, and passed. Your quote includes the permit cost. If a contractor offers to skip the permit to save you money, walk away. It’ll cost you more when you try to sell the house.
Only if we find rotted decking or structural damage we couldn’t see from the surface, and we’ll show you photos before we touch it. Our quotes are line-item and transparent, and we don’t play the change-order game. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. Call (727) 620-6983 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
