AfterCGI Roof Repair in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in West Palm Beach means addressing the impact-rated glass, frames, and sealing systems that protect your roofline from hurricane-force wind and driven rain. TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CGI roof repair across West Palm Beach, typically completing most single-opening repairs in one visit, with honest upfront pricing and a written quote before any work begins. If you own a CGI skylight, roof window, or impact-rated glass panel that is leaking, fogged, or no longer sealing correctly, call (561) 264-1279 and a live person answers, day or night. This page is for homeowners who want the repair done right, by a company that has served Palm Beach County since 2008.
Key Takeaways
- We repair CGI roof glass and framing systems as an independent CGI service provider, not as a manufacturer-authorized dealer.
- Most CGI roof repairs in West Palm Beach run between $275 and $1,200 depending on the failure.
- We register all warranty documentation in writing and stand behind our work with the Done Right Promise.
- CGI’s Sentinel and Estate series each have distinct failure patterns we see regularly in coastal Florida homes.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a strong product line, but West Palm Beach weather finds every weak point eventually. Here are the five failures we see most often on CGI roof installations, and what we do about each one.
- Sentinel Series skylight seal separation. The Sentinel line uses a compression gasket system around the glass perimeter. After years of direct sun and salt air, that gasket can shrink and pull away from the frame corners. Water creeps in slowly, shows up as a stain on the drywall months later. We remove the old gasket, clean the seat, install a fresh compression seal, and test with a water sprayer before we leave.
- Estate Series roof window sash sag. On larger Estate Series roof windows, the sash hardware carries real weight. Over time the hinge pins wear, the sash drops a fraction of an inch, and the locking points no longer engage fully. That small gap is enough for wind-driven rain to find. We rebuild the hinge assembly with genuine CGI hinges when available, or a machined aftermarket equivalent that matches the original load rating.
- Laminate fogging between impact panes. This is the one every homeowner notices first. Moisture between the panes of a CGI roof panel means the internal seal has failed. The glass still meets impact standards, but the insulating value is gone and the view is ruined. We order a sealed replacement unit cut to the exact rough opening and install it with the same setting method CGI specifies. This is not a caulk-and-hope repair.
- Weep system clogging on flush-set roof glass. West Palm Beach gets heavy afternoon downpours in summer. If the small weep channels at the base of a CGI roof panel fill with pollen, roof grit, or dried sealant, water backs up and finds the interior. We clear the channels, flush the drainage path, and verify water leaves the frame the way the original engineering intended.
- Fastener corrosion near salt exposure. Homes within a mile of the Intracoastal deal with salt air that eats standard fasteners. We have opened CGI frames on West Palm Beach rooflines where the original fasteners were so far gone they turned to powder under a socket. We replace them with marine-grade stainless fasteners, properly torqued, and touch up the surrounding frame finish to prevent future rust bleeding.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
Every CGI job follows the same discipline. Here is what happens when you call us about a roof glass or frame problem in West Palm Beach.
- 1
Call and describe the symptom. A live person answers 24/7. You tell us what you are seeing: a leak, fogging, a sash that will not close. We ask the right questions and schedule a time that works.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time, walks the roof access carefully, and inspects the opening. We measure twice, check the frame for square and level, and identify the true cause, not just the visible symptom.
- 3
Parts decision. We quote genuine CGI parts first when they make sense for the job. When a quality aftermarket part offers equal or better performance at a fairer price, we say so plainly and show you both options on paper, side by side.
- 4
The repair. We set glass or replace hardware the way the job demands. Every opening is measured, shimmed, and sealed with the founding rule in mind: if it is not square, plumb, and sealed, it is not done.
- 5
Water test and inspection. Before we clean up, we test the repair with a controlled water spray and inspect the full frame perimeter. You see the result with us standing there.
- 6
Paperwork and warranty. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation before the truck leaves the driveway. The Done Right Promise covers everything we touched.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Dale Kessler grew up in Northwood Hills and spent enough summers watching his father re-glaze storefront windows along Dixie Highway to know he wanted to work with glass for a living. That is the standard we bring to every CGI roof repair in West Palm Beach. We are an independent CGI service provider, which means we are not tied to one manufacturer’s parts pipeline. When a CGI part is the right call, we use it. When a PGT, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems component does the job better or faster, we say so. We carry knowledge across more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and that matters on a roof opening where one wrong assumption becomes a water intrusion problem. Every repair is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We stand behind it.
FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, we perform repairs that do not void your original warranty, provided the failure is not due to a defect covered by the original installation or manufacturing terms. We document every repair with photos and written records, and we register both warranty layers in writing as part of The Keystone Standard. Call (561) 264-1279 and we will walk you through your specific CGI model and coverage.
Most single-opening CGI roof repairs are completed in one visit. We carry common gaskets, fasteners, and sealants on the truck. If a sealed glass unit needs to be fabricated, turnaround is typically 1 to 2 weeks depending on the glass size and laminate configuration. Call (561) 264-1279 for a specific timeline on your job.
Repair is the right call when the frame is solid, the glass is intact, and the failure is a gasket, hinge, or fastener issue. Replacement makes more sense when the frame is warped, the glass is cracked, or the opening has shifted out of square to the point that a proper seal is no longer possible. We will tell you straight which one your situation needs, with the numbers on paper.
We quote genuine CGI parts first when they are available and appropriate for the job. When a quality aftermarket part offers equal or better performance at a fairer price, we present both options side by side in writing. You decide with full information, not a sales pitch.
No. The line-item quote we give you before work begins is the price you pay. If we find something unexpected during the repair that changes the scope, we stop and discuss it with you before continuing. No surprise charges on the bill. That is a square deal, and it is the only way we work.
