• Most repairs finish same day with pricing locked before we start.
• We’re a local Fort Lauderdale company that’s been serving South Florida homeowners since 2008 through our craft tradition.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds impact-rated roof glazing that holds up to hurricanes and salt air, but every product line has its weak points once it’s been on a Fort Lauderdale roof for five or ten years. Here’s what we see at the workbench and on the ladder, model by model.

• CGI 8000 Series roof windows: failed curb gaskets. The 8000 line uses a compression gasket at the curb frame that breaks down under constant UV and heat cycling. The symptom is a slow drip after heavy rain, even with intact glass. We replace the gasket with a fresh OEM or matched-density aftermarket seal and re-torque the frame. No caulk over the old gasket, which is what the last guy did and why it’s leaking again.
• CGI Estate Collection skylights: internal weep channel blockage. These units drain condensation and minor intrusion through weep channels in the frame. In Fort Lauderdale, pollen, salt residue, and the fine dust from new construction clog those channels within a few seasons. You’ll see water pooling inside the frame track or staining on the ceiling below. We clear the channels, flush the track, and test the drainage before we touch any sealant.
• CGI 900 Series roof glazing: laminated glass delamination at the edges. Impact-rated laminated glass can start to separate at the laminate edges after years of coastal humidity, showing as a milky haze or small bubbles along the frame line. It’s cosmetic at first, but it does affect clarity and eventual structural rating. We swap the unit with a new CGI-spec laminated panel rather than trying to seal it, because edge delamination never goes backward.
• CGI operable roof windows: hinge fatigue and misalignment. The operable units on CGI roof windows carry significant weight in the sash. After years of open-close cycles in salt air, the hinge pins wear, and the sash droops enough to break the weatherstrip seal. You’ll feel a tight close or see daylight at one corner. We re-hang the sash with new hinges and realign it so the seal seats evenly all around.
• CGI skylight curbs: flashing separation at the roof plane. On tile and shingle roofs alike, the metal flashing around a CGI curb pulls away from the roof surface over time, especially on homes near the ocean in neighborhoods like Sailboat Bend or Coral Ridge. The fix is removing the old flashing, installing new step flashing and counterflashing, and sealing with a roof-grade sealant that moves with the house. We’ve done enough of these in Fort Lauderdale to know the drill without a second trip.

Our CGI Roof Repair Process

Every CGI roof repair starts with a phone call to (954) 280-4413 and a conversation about what you’re seeing. Here’s how the job goes after that.

1. 1
   We diagnose before we quote. We’ll come to your Fort Lauderdale home, get eyes on the unit, and find the actual point of failure. No pricing over the phone from a guess.
2. 2
   We explain the problem in plain language. You’ll hear what broke, why it broke, and what it takes to fix it. We’ll quote OEM parts and a quality aftermarket option side by side so you can choose with your eyes open.
3. 3
   We lock the price on paper. The quote you approve is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items, no discovering it’s worse once we’re up there. If we find additional damage after we start, we stop and talk before any new work is done.
4. 4
   We make the repair. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work with the same care they’d apply in their own homes. We protect your roof and your interior, and we leave the site clean.
5. 5
   We test the fix. We run water over the repair area, check the operation, and verify the seal. If it’s a glass replacement, we confirm the unit is seated true and the glazing lines are clean.
6. 6
   We register the work in writing. You get documentation of what was done, what parts were used, and how the workmanship warranty applies. The Done Right Promise covers every job we touch.
