CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fountainebleau: What to Know First
CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing in Fountainebleau is work we handle as an independent service provider, meaning we fix and install CGI roofing the way it should have been done the first time. Most CGI roof inspections and repairs in this area take a half day to a full day once we’re on site, and we give you an upfront written price before any work begins, not after. If you own a CGI roof in Fountainebleau and you’re wondering whether that leak, lifted shingle or cracked tile is something to worry about, call us at (727) 620-6983 and we’ll tell you straight.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious roofing product, and in Fountainebleau we see the same handful of failure points show up year after year. Here’s what actually happens and what we do about it.
- Shingle edge lift on the windward slope. On CGI asphalt shingle roofs facing southwest, repeated afternoon thunderstorms push water sideways, not down. Over time we see shingles along the rake edge begin to curl upward just enough to catch wind. We pull the affected shingles, check the nail pattern underneath (CGI’s spec calls for six nails per shingle, and we often find four), and re-secure with the correct pattern before replacing.
- Tile spalling from salt and sun. Fountainebleau sits far enough west that roof surfaces bake all afternoon, and combined with salt in the air, CGI concrete tile can start to shed its top surface, which we call spalling. This is not always a replace-the-tile situation. We evaluate the depth of the spall and the tile’s remaining thickness. If it’s cosmetic, we seal it. If it’s structural, we source a matching CGI tile and swap it before water finds the underlayment.
- Standing seam fastener back-out. CGI’s metal standing seam panels move with temperature, and south Florida gives them plenty of temperature to move with. Over a few seasons, the fasteners along the seam can back out just enough to let moisture wick under the panel. We see this on Fountainebleau homes built in the early 2000s more than anywhere else. The fix is reseating the fastener to CGI’s torque spec and replacing any sealant that’s dried out.
- Valley flashing separation on metal-to-tile transitions. Homes in Fountainebleau with a mix of CGI metal and tile sections sometimes develop a gap at the transition flashing. Florida’s humidity expands the metal, then the overnight cool contracts it. Repeat a thousand times and the flashing pulls away from the tile. We pull the flashing, clean the seam, lay new butyl tape, and re-secure it so the two roof systems move independently but stay watertight.
- Underlayment failure under intact tiles. This is the one that surprises CGI tile roof owners. The tiles look fine, but water is getting inside. The problem is usually the original underlayment, not the CGI tile at all. In Fountainebleau, underlayment installed before the 2015 code updates simply doesn’t last as long as the tile above it. We lift the tile in strategic sections, replace the underlayment, and re-lay the same CGI tiles if they’re still sound.
