AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach means replacing or installing impact-rated roof systems, skylight glazing, and structural glass components that carry the CGI name. We handle the full scope as an independent CGI service provider, from single skylight swaps to complete roof glazing packages, and most jobs are measured, quoted, and scheduled within a week of the first call. Pricing is honest and line-itemed: you’ll see the cost of materials, the cost of labor, and the cost of permits before we start, never after.
This page is written for the homeowner who already owns CGI products or is planning a roof project and wants someone who knows the brand’s quirks. If you’re holding a quote from another company and it feels light on specifics, call us at (850) 801-5596. We’ll walk you through what matters and what doesn’t.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Sentinel Series skylight seal degradation at the curb mount. In Palm Beach’s salt air and rainfall, the butyl seal between a CGI Sentinel skylight frame and the roof curb can harden and lose adhesion within eight to twelve years. Water doesn’t pour in; it seeps, darkens the drywall, and you don’t notice until the ceiling stains. We pull the unit, inspect the curb for rot, replace the seal with a marine-grade product, and reflash the perimeter. The repair holds because we address the curb, not just the glass.
- CGI Estate Collection roof glass fogging from compromised edge seals. We see this on homes with west-facing roof glazing where afternoon heat cycles are brutal. The Estate Collection uses large insulated glass units, and once the edge seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and the view turns milky. OEM replacements from CGI come with lead times we quote honestly, and we also carry quality aftermarket IGUs that meet or exceed the original spec at a lower cost. You’ll see both options on paper before you decide.
- Operable roof vents in CGI SunView units binding after storm season. The SunView line includes operable venting skylights, and after a few Palm Beach hurricane seasons the aluminum track picks up corrosion at the hinge points. The motor still runs; the vent just doesn’t move right. We disassemble, clean out the corrosion, replace worn hinge bushings, and lubricate with a dry film that doesn’t attract grit. It’s a small repair that extends the unit’s life by years.
- CGI Classic Series curb flashing failures on low-slope roofs. Palm Beach has a lot of low-slope roofing, and standing water finds weak flashing. The Classic Series is a solid product, but the factory flashing kit is one-size-fits-most, and on a low-slope roof that means gaps. We flash to the actual roof pitch, not the kit’s assumption. That’s the difference between a warranty claim and a dry ceiling.
- UV clouding on CGI roof panels in direct coastal sun. Older CGI polycarbonate and acrylic roof panels cloud over time from UV exposure. It’s not a seal failure; it’s the material aging. Replacement is the only fix, and we’ll match the panel profile so the roof line stays clean. Where UV damage is caught early, we sometimes recommend a retrofit that slows further degradation, but we won’t sell you that if the panel is too far gone.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. A live person answers at (850) 801-5596, any hour. We ask what model you have, what you’re seeing, and when the problem started. That conversation tells us whether we’re dealing with a seal, a flashing issue, or a structural concern.
- 2
Measurement and inspection. A uniformed, background-checked tech comes out, measures the opening twice, and inspects the roof curb, flashing, and surrounding materials. If the curb is rotted, you’ll know before we quote, not after we start.
- 3
Written quote with parts options. We put the quote on paper, side by side: OEM CGI parts with lead time and price, and quality aftermarket options where they make sense. You pick what you’re comfortable with, knowing exactly what each choice costs.
- 4
The replacement or installation. We pull the old unit, address the curb and flashing, set the new one with correct sealant depth and frame tolerances, and dress everything clean. If it’s a full installation, we coordinate with your roofer so the tie-in is done right.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We water-test, check operation and seal adhesion, and walk you through what we did. The truck doesn’t leave until the site is clean and you’ve seen the finished work.
- 6
Warranty registration before we leave. Both warranty layers for the parts and our workmanship are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been setting windows and doors across Palm Beach County since 2008 through the craft tradition that Dale Kessler built this company on. The rule on the whiteboard hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For CGI work specifically, that means we know which models have which failure modes, we quote parts honestly, and we install to the conditions of your roofline, not the assumptions of a factory kit.
If a CGI replacement isn’t the right call because the unit is discontinued or the lead time doesn’t fit your situation, we’re also authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That multi-brand depth means the answer is never “sorry, can’t help.” And every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. We stand behind it.
FAQs
Will using TruePane for CGI work void my CGI warranty? No. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we are not affiliated with or authorized by CGI, and we install replacement parts and units using correct materials and methods. Your original CGI warranty terms remain between you and CGI; our workmanship carries its own written warranty under The Keystone Standard.
How fast can you get a CGI skylight replaced in Palm Beach? For stock sizes and common units, we can usually complete the replacement within one to two weeks of the first call. OEM parts from CGI can add lead time, which we quote honestly. Aftermarket options are often in local supply. Call (850) 801-5596 to check current availability.
Is it better to repair or replace a CGI roof unit? It depends on the unit’s age and the failure. A seal or flashing repair on a unit under fifteen years old usually makes sense. A fogged Estate Collection IGU or a heavily clouded roof panel is better replaced. We’ll tell you straight, with numbers on paper for both paths. Call for a free estimate and we’ll make the call together.
Do you pull permits for CGI roof work? Yes, where the scope requires it. Palm Beach building codes are specific about roof penetrations and glazing, and a proper permit and inspection protect your home’s value and your insurance position. We handle the paperwork, pull the permit, and pass the inspection.
Will the price change once you start the work? Only if we find something hidden, like a rotted curb that wasn’t visible at the quote stage. And if we find it, you’ll know before we do anything, with a new number in writing. No surprises on the bill. That’s a square deal, and it’s the only way we work.
