AfterCGI Roof Repair in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI roof repair in Pompano Beach, with most jobs diagnosed and completed in a single visit. Pricing is straightforward: you’ll see a written line-item quote before any work begins, and we don’t pad the bill with surprises after the fact. If you own a CGI product and the roof is leaking, call (863) 591-8673 and a live person will answer.
This page is for homeowners who already know they have CGI windows or doors and need them repaired correctly. Not patched, not caulked over, not told to “wait and see.” CGI builds a serious impact product, but Pompano Beach salt air and storm cycles find every weak joint eventually. We work on CGI roof applications as an independent CGI service provider, which means we answer to you, not to a manufacturer’s preferred-vendor list.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI makes a better product than most, but nothing built for Florida weather lasts forever without attention. Here’s what we actually see on CGI roof repairs in Pompano Beach, and what we do about it:
- Sentinel Series roof transitions: Pompano Beach gets more salt spray than inland Broward. The aluminum retaining caps on older Sentinel roof applications develop hairline corrosion where the cap meets the structural mullion. We see drips that show up only during driving east winds, which makes homeowners think the leak is intermittent or “not that bad.” It’s the cap gasket, and we replace it with an OEM-grade EPDM gasket before the frame channel starts pitting. That’s a $40 part and an hour of labor if you catch it early.
- Estate Series skylight curbs: The curb flashing on Estate Series glass roof panels fails at the soldered corners first, not at the sealant bead. CGI’s shop drawings call for a continuous seam, but we’ve opened up enough curbs in Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach to know the corner solder is the first thing to let go after a decade of thermal cycling. We re-solder or replace the curb rather than smearing sealant over it, which would buy you one rainy season at best.
- Sentinel Series operator hinges on roof-vent units: If you have a CGI roof vent that still operates, the hinge pin brass seizes in salt air faster than the warranty documentation suggests. The window won’t close fully, which leaves a gap you can’t see from inside. That gap lets wind-driven rain in during tropical storm bands. We rebuild the hinge assembly rather than forcing it closed, which is what cracks the operator housing.
- CGI’s laminated glass edge seals on older roof glazing: The interlayer edge exposed to Pompano Beach humidity begins to delaminate in a pattern that looks like fogging. Homeowners sometimes think the glass failed. It hasn’t. The edge seal is the problem, and CGI’s laminated roof units can often be re-sealed with the proper edge tape and a controlled-pressure technique rather than a full sash replacement. That’s a repair a factory warranty won’t cover and replacement companies won’t offer.
- Custom roof-wall interfaces on older Pompano Beach homes: Houses built in the 1960s and 1970s in the Highlands and Imperial Point often have CGI roof glazing retrofitted onto framing that was never meant to carry a rigid impact system. The frame itself doesn’t fail. The surrounding substrate does, and the leak presents as a window leak. We inspect the full opening, not just the glass, and rebuild the substrate pitch before resetting the unit. Most roof leaks we chase back to drainage, not product.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
We don’t do diagnostics over the phone and guess. We put eyes on the opening and work from what the roof actually tells us. Here’s what a CGI roof repair with TruePane Windows & Doors looks like:
- 1
You call (863) 591-8673. A live person answers, takes the address and the symptom, and schedules the visit. We don’t route you through a call center or ask you to fill out a form.
- 2
We inspect the full opening, not just the visible failure. A background-checked, uniformed tech checks the frame, the flashing, the drainage path, the interior drywall for water tracking, and the CGI serial plate. We measure the exact model and glass package.
- 3
We quote on paper. We hand you a written line-item quote before work starts, showing OEM versus quality aftermarket parts where both are viable. If the repair doesn’t make sense against replacement, we’ll say so in plain terms, side by side.
- 4
We repair on site. Most CGI roof repairs, including gasket replacement, hinge rebuilds, edge-seal work, and flashing corrections, are completed same-day. We don’t leave a roof opening hanging open overnight if it’s not safe and dry.
- 5
We water-test and clean up. We test the repair with a controlled flow along the original leak path, remove all debris, and show you what we found and what we fixed.
- 6
We hand you the written warranty before we leave. Both manufacturer layers registered, if applicable, and our Done Right Promise in writing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Pompano Beach
You’ll see honest numbers here because we believe in a square deal. Here’s what CGI roof repair in Pompano Beach typically runs:
- Gasket or seal replacement on a CGI roof unit: $85 to $240, depending on the size of the opening and how much old material has to be extracted.
- Hinge or operator rebuild on a CGI roof-vent: $110 to $290, including stainless hinge pin replacements and housing cleanout.
- Edge-seal repair on a laminated CGI glass roof unit: $300 to $750, depending on sash size and access.
- Full CGI roof glass replacement or reframe with new substrate: $1,100 to $2,900+, depending on access, custom fabrication, and whether the curb has to be rebuilt.
What moves the price: whether the unit is a stock size or a custom fabrication, whether we’re working from a sloped roof or a flat one, and whether the substrate framing has rot that has to be cut out. We don’t quote over the phone, and we don’t charge for the estimate. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a written number you can hold us to.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been serving local communities since 2008, and we work on CGI products the way a second-generation glazier works on anything: slowly enough to do it once. When a homeowner has a CGI roof leak, they don’t need a lecture about replacement windows. They need a tech who can look at the serial plate, know which series it is, and tell them whether the repair is worth doing. We can, because we’ve done it for years across Broward County.
Every CGI repair is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. And because we’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we can offer a straight comparison if a repair stops making financial sense. Dale Kessler grew up in the Pompano Beach Highlands, and he’s still here, still answering the phone, still standing behind the work.
FAQs
Not necessarily. A repair done by an independent CGI service provider using correct parts and methods typically does not void the original warranty, but a sloppy sealant job can. We stay inside CGI’s written specs for frame tolerance and glass handling, and we document every repair in writing. If it isn’t in writing, it isn’t a warranty.
Most CGI roof repairs are completed in a single visit, but we don’t rush a roof job. We schedule based on urgency, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a straight answer about timing.
That depends on the frame condition and the glass package. If the glass is sound and the frame is intact, a repair usually makes sense. If the substrate is rotted or the unit is a non-impact original from before the 2001 Florida Building Code, replacement may be the better spend. We’ll show you both numbers side by side on paper. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate.
That pattern usually points to a drainage problem, not a glass problem. On Pompano Beach roofs, blocked weep channels and worn gaskets let water in only when the rain is wind-driven hard enough to push it past the weak point. We inspect the entire opening, not just the glass, and fix the actual cause.
Yes. We service CGI, PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if your roof has more than one manufacturer’s product, one visit covers all of it. We’ll quote each repair separately in writing.
