AfterCGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing repair in Fort Lauderdale usually runs between $425 and $2,800 depending on whether we’re replacing a few cracked tiles, sealing a roof-to-wall transition, or rebuilding flashing around a chimney. Most CGI roof repairs on shingle and tile systems are completed same-day once we’re on site; full metal panel replacement typically takes one to two days. We give you the exact price before we start, and nobody changes it on the invoice.
This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who own CGI shingle, tile or metal roofing and want a straight answer about what’s wrong, what it costs, and who’s actually qualified to fix it. Ed Winslow has been putting his name on roofing work along the Las Olas corridor since 2011, and we’ve seen how Atlantic salt air treats CGI products year after year. Call (904) 913-5886 and a live person picks up, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI Sentinel Shingle lifting at the rake edge. On Fort Lauderdale homes within half a mile of the Intracoastal, we regularly see Sentinel shingles start to lift at the rake edge within eight to ten years. The adhesive strip breaks down faster in constant salt-laden humidity than in inland neighborhoods like Plantation. We remove the affected shingles, inspect the underlayment for moisture intrusion, and reseal with a high-bond adhesive rated for coastal exposure. If the substrate is spongy, we replace it before reinstalling.
- CGI tile roofs cracking at the hip junctions. Tile systems don’t fail randomly; they fail where water changes direction. On CGI tile roofs, the hips and ridges see the most expansion and contraction, and we find hairline cracks at those transitions long before a leak shows on the ceiling. Our fix is to pull the cracked tiles, check the mortar bed underneath, and reset with new tile and proper flex sealant. Skipping the mortar check is how a $600 repair becomes a $3,000 deck replacement later.
- CGI metal roof panel seam separation after storms. Standing-seam metal roofs on Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes take a beating from storm-driven rain that hits panels sideways. CGI metal panel seams can spread slightly after repeated cycles of heat expansion and storm flexing, especially on south-facing roof planes. We realign the panels, reset the seam clips, and check the fasteners for corrosion. Panel replacement is usually avoidable if the seam is caught before water gets to the purlins.
- CGI tile underlayment rot hidden beneath intact tile. This is the one CGI owners never see coming. The tile on top looks perfect, but the underlayment underneath has been wicking moisture from a pinhole in the flashing for years. By the time a leak shows indoors, the decking is already compromised. We run a targeted moisture check along valleys and penetrations on every CGI tile inspection in Fort Lauderdale, because salt air accelerates underlayment breakdown even when the tile itself is fine.
- CGI shingle granule loss on seaward-facing slopes. Any shingle loses granules over time, but CGI shingles on east-facing Fort Lauderdale roof planes lose them faster because of wind-driven salt spray and intense morning sun. Bare patches on the shingle surface let UV light eat the asphalt mat underneath. We identify the affected slope, measure the remaining granule layer, and recommend either spot treatment or targeted replacement before the mat itself starts cracking.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every CGI roofing job we run in Fort Lauderdale follows the same sequence, whether it’s a two-tile replacement or a full rake-edge rebuild.
- 1
Call and diagnosis. You call (904) 913-5886, we ask what you’re seeing and where, and we schedule the visit. No voicemail loops. If it’s urgent, we get someone to the property fast.
- 2
On-site inspection. We walk the roof with you if you want, point out exactly what we see, and take moisture readings where water intrusion is possible. You’ll know what’s wrong before we hand you a price.
- 3
Parts decision. For CGI shingle and tile work, we use OEM or matching profile equivalents depending on what’s available locally and what your roof’s age demands. On older discontinued CGI profiles, we’ll tell you honestly if a quality aftermarket match makes more sense than chasing an obsolete part.
- 4
The repair. We work the affected area, not the whole roof, unless the whole roof is failing. Every removed piece is inspected for what it tells us about the layers underneath.
- 5
Test and verify. We water-test the repair where it’s practical, check the surrounding area for anything we missed, and document the work with photos.
- 6
The guarantee. Every CGI repair is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s Ed’s name on the door, and Ed’s name on your roof.
What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here’s what we charge for the most common CGI scenarios we see across Fort Lauderdale. Prices are line-item before any standing discount applies.
- Single cracked or displaced CGI tile replacement: $425-$650
- Hip or ridge tile rebedding (up to 10 linear feet): $700-$1,400
- CGI shingle rake-edge reseal and replacement (up to 20 linear feet): $500-$950

What moves the price: roof pitch and access, whether we’re on a two-story Fort Lauderdale beach house or a one-story ranch in Victoria Park, the underlayment condition under the damaged area, and whether the specific CGI profile is still in production. Seniors and veterans save 10% on every job, and any repair over $200 takes $40 off. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate with the actual number before any work starts.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Most roofing companies in Fort Lauderdale will work on whatever’s in front of them. We built our reputation on knowing specific brands down to the model line, because when a CGI Sentinel shingle fails at the rake edge, that’s a different conversation than a generic shingle lifting after a storm. Ed Winslow has spent the better part of two decades on roofs and openings along the Las Olas corridor, and he trained at Miami Dade College’s construction trades program before putting his own name on the truck. When we repair a CGI roof, we’re also looking at the whole exterior system, because the same house with a failing rake edge often has window flashing pulling away too. If you’ve got PGT, CWS, ES Windows or ECO Window Systems products anywhere on the house, our techs service those as well. One call covers more of the exterior than most companies can touch. And every technician who shows up at your Fort Lauderdale door is background-checked, uniformed, and working under the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. His name’s on the door, literally. That means it gets done right.
FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, we perform repairs that follow standard roofing practices for the specific CGI product, and we never alter the roof system beyond the repair area. Manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in materials, not installation or storm damage, so a proper repair on a properly installed roof does not void material coverage. We document every job with photos if you ever need to show the work to CGI or your insurance company. Call (904) 913-5886 if you have a specific warranty question; Ed will tell you straight what’s covered before any work starts.
In most cases, yes. We keep relationships with local Fort Lauderdale suppliers who stock current CGI profiles and can source matching tiles for the colors we see most often in this area. For discontinued profiles or colors, we’ll look for a quality aftermarket match and show you the comparison before we install it. We won’t put a mismatched tile on your roof and call it done; if the match isn’t close enough, we’ll tell you and give you options. Upfront pricing means you see the number before we touch the roof.
Most tile and shingle repairs are completed the same day we arrive, and we prioritize active leaks over scheduled maintenance. If we’re already on another job in Fort Lauderdale, we’ll get to you as soon as that job is finished, and we’ll tell you when that is when you call. A live person answers (904) 913-5886 at any hour, so you’re never leaving a message and hoping someone calls back.
Repair is almost always the right call if the failing area is isolated to a rake edge, a valley, or a single slope. Full replacement makes sense when the shingles are past their service life across the whole roof, the decking is compromised in multiple spots, or the underlayment has failed beneath a tile system that’s already been patched repeatedly. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on moisture readings and visible wear, not on what earns us a bigger invoice. Free estimates come with the actual number, not a range that doubles at the end.
It means if we repair your CGI roof and the work fails because of something we did or failed to do, we fix it. No arguing, no fine print about weather or “acts of God” when the issue is our workmanship. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his own name on the promise because he’s the one you’ll see in your driveway if something isn’t right. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule your free estimate, and you’ll get the same standard on your CGI roof repair.
