AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Greenacres: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Greenacres typically runs $1,850 to $4,200 for most residential jobs, depending on the product line, roof deck condition, and whether we’re matching existing CGI frames or starting fresh. We complete most CGI roof installations in one to three days, and we quote a fixed number before the truck rolls, so the price you approve is the price you pay. This page is written for homeowners in Greenacres who already own CGI windows or doors and need roof work done without voiding a manufacturer warranty or ending up with a mismatch between old and new. Call (754) 339-0784 and a live person answers, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Estate Collection roof flashing separation. On two-story Greenacres homes with barrel tile roofs, we regularly find the roof-to-frame flashing on Estate Series fixed windows pulling away at the sill corner. The cause is almost always the original installer caulking over the flashing instead of lapping it under the tile underlayment. Our fix removes the old sealant, re-laps the flashing correctly, and re-seats the frame with closed-cell backer rod before tooling a UV-stable sealant joint that moves with the roof.
- CGI Sentinel Series roof curb rot at the anchor points. Sentinel units installed on flat or low-slope roofs in Greenacres collect standing water at the roof curb anchors, which wicks into the wood curb and softens it. The window itself is fine; the curb is not. We pull the unit, replace the curb with pressure-treated lumber and a self-adhered membrane, then reinstall the Sentinel frame with new stainless anchors. This is a job no manufacturer covers, and it’s the most common reason a Sentinel roof unit starts sagging.
- CGI Craftsman Series operator failure after roof replacement. When roofers replace a roof around existing Craftsman awning windows, fine asphalt granules and tear-off debris drop into the operator tracks. Owners call us a month later with operators that bind or strip. We remove the operator arms, clean and re-lubricate the tracks, and inspect the gear sets. If the previous roofer cracked a track, we replace it with an OEM CGI track rather than shimming a bent one, because a shimmed track on a Craftsman unit wears the gear teeth unevenly and the operator fails again in two years.
- CGI Targa Series glass seal wicking on north-facing roof dormers. In Greenacres, north-facing Targa sloped glazing on roof dormers holds morning condensation longer than any other orientation, and over a decade that moisture works into the edge seal. The first sign is a milky grey band along the bottom of the glass lite that widens after rain. We replace the insulated glass unit, not the whole frame, and we spec the replacement lite with the identical CGI spacer and gas fill so the sightline matches the neighboring lites.
- CGI fixed roof skylight frame distortion from improper underlayment. We see CGI roof-mounted fixed units in Greenacres with frame corners pulled out of square because the roofing underlayment was installed after the frame, trapping the frame against the deck. The glass binds in the frame and the corner gaskets pinch. We remove the unit, correct the underlayment sequence, and reset the frame on a clean, flat curb so the lite sits true. This is exactly the kind of job where the founding rule applies: if it is not right in the opening, it will not be right in ten years.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
We look at the roof first, then the window. Before we touch a CGI unit, we walk the roof line and check the curb, flashing, and underlayment condition. A unit installed on a bad curb fails no matter how carefully it is set.
- 2
We identify the exact CGI series and generation. CGI has changed frame extrusions and gasket profiles across production years. We read the AAMA label on the frame so we order parts that match the unit you own, not a “close enough” part from a supply house.
- 3
We quote OEM and quality aftermarket side by side on paper. Some parts make sense to buy directly from CGI. Others, like sealants and anchor hardware, we source from suppliers we have used for years. You see both numbers before we order anything.
- 4
We remove and reset, or replace, with the roof protected. If we are replacing a roof-mounted unit, we tarp the opening, remove the old frame carefully so the roof membrane stays intact, and set the new unit square and level on the curb.
- 5
We flash and seal to Greenacres weather. We lap flashing under roofing felt, not over it, and we use sealant rated for Florida UV and the standing water that collects on low-slope roof curbs. Every joint gets tooled, not smeared.
- 6
We test, then we stand behind it. We run the unit through its full range, check the drain weep function, and show you the work before we leave. Your Done Right Promise starts the day we finish, in writing.

| Full roof dormer re-glazing with multiple CGI units | $3,500 - $4,200 and up depending on lite count |

Why Greenacres Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
The reason the phone rings here is simple: we answer it, and we do the job the way a second-generation glazier would. TruePane Windows & Doors was started by Dale Kessler in 2008, but the work goes back further than that, more than years of service in these communities. We are an independent CGI service provider, which means we work for you, not for the factory. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and our Done Right Promise means no paperwork fights and no arguing. We hang more than a dozen manufacturer lines including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we carry parts for all of them. When a CGI unit cannot be saved and a replacement across a different brand makes more sense, we will show you the comparison on paper. We do not push a brand. We solve the opening.
CGI Roof Replacement & Installation FAQs
CGI’s warranty covers the window or door unit itself, not the installation work around it. What voids coverage is improper installation that damages the frame or glass, which is why we lap flashing correctly, avoid drilling through frame weep channels, and register all warranty paperwork in writing when the job involves replacement parts from CGI. Call (754) 339-0784 and we will walk through your specific warranty before any work starts.
Yes, in most cases we can replace a single lite or a single roof unit and match the sightline of your remaining CGI frames, provided we know the exact series and production year. The AAMA label on the frame tells us what we need. If the series is discontinued, we will show you OEM availability and nearest-match options side by side on paper.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, and we schedule roof leak work as a priority because water doesn’t wait. For active leaks we typically get a technician out the same day or next morning to assess and tarp the opening if needed. Call (754) 339-0784 and a live person picks up.
If the frame is sound and the problem is a failed seal, a bad operator, or flashing separation, repair usually makes sense and keeps your cost in the hundreds instead of thousands. If the frame is twisted, the curb is rotted, or the glass has been replaced more than once, replacement is the square deal. We give you both numbers before you decide.
Structural roof penetration work in Palm Beach County comes with code requirements, and we handle the permit side when the job calls for it. The work is done to pass inspection the first time, not after a callback. Call (754) 339-0784 to talk through your project and get a fixed quote.
