AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Riviera Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Riviera Beach typically runs between $18,000 and $42,000 depending on the roof system, decking condition, and whether you’re matching existing CGI skylights, roof windows, or impact-rated flashings. Most full replacements take 3 to 5 working days once materials are on site, and we quote every job line by line before any work starts. If you own a CGI product and the roof around it is failing, call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk you through what you’re actually looking at.
This page is written for homeowners in Riviera Beach who bought CGI windows, doors, or skylights expecting decades of service, only to find water where it shouldn’t be. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting glass and flashing in Palm Beach County long enough to know where CGI products fail, why they fail, and what a repair that actually lasts looks like.
- We are an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer rep, so our recommendations are based on what holds up in coastal Florida, not on what a catalog says.
- CGI roof failures in Riviera Beach usually trace back to flashing, not the glass or the frame.
- Every CGI roof job we quote includes written line items for materials, labor, and permits before you sign anything.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI makes a solid product. But around roofs in Riviera Beach, salt air, afternoon downpours, and ten months of UV do things that no factory test fully predicts. Here’s what we see most often:
- CGI Sentry Series roof windows with failed perimeter flashing. The Sentry series holds up well in wind tests, but the factory flashing kit assumes a clean, flat roof deck. On older Riviera Beach homes with slight deck sag or repaired sheathing, that flashing lifts at the corners. We see this on Singer Island and around Blue Heron Boulevard regularly. The fix is removing the unit, flattening the opening, and re-flashing with a stepped pan that drains water away from the frame instead of under it.
- CGI Estate Collection skylights with interior weeping at the curb mount. These units are heavy, and when a roofer sets them on a wood curb that was never sealed properly, condensation and rain both end up inside. The telltale is water staining that starts at the drywall and moves outward, not from the glass inward. We rebuild the curb with pressure-treated lumber, set the unit on a continuous bead of sealant, and flash the curb so the water never reaches the seal in the first place.
- CGI Classic Series roof windows with failed thermal seals after roof replacement. A tear-off roof job puts heat directly onto the glass from above while the inside stays cool. That temperature swing is what kills marginal seals. If a seal was already weak, a new roof often finishes it. Fogged glass inside a CGI Classic unit usually means the seal failed, not the frame. We replace the insulated glass unit with OEM-spec glass and register the new warranty in writing.
- Improperly installed replacement roof windows that void the CGI warranty. We get calls from Riviera Beach homeowners who had a handyman or a roofing crew “save money” by setting a CGI unit themselves. The glass looks fine for a year, then the frame racks because the opening wasn’t square. CGI’s warranty doesn’t cover installation errors, and this is the most common reason a CGI roof product fails early. We square the opening, reset the unit, and document the installation so the remaining warranty stays valid.
- Condensation between panes on CGI Impact-rated roof glass during Riviera Beach’s humid season. This isn’t always a failed seal. Sometimes it’s a breather tube clogged with salt residue, which traps moisture from installation. We clean the tube, dry the cavity, and reseal. If the seal is truly gone, we replace the glass unit and match the original tint and coating so it doesn’t look like a patch job.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
A CGI roof job done right is methodical. Here’s how it goes when you call TruePane:
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (786) 829-6722. A live person answers, takes your address, and asks what you’re seeing. No phone tree.
- 2
Site inspection and measurements. A background-checked technician comes out, measures the opening twice, checks the deck for sag, and photographs everything. We don’t quote from a ladder without looking at the deck.
- 3
Written side-by-side quote. We put the numbers on paper: OEM CGI parts versus quality aftermarket equivalents, with the differences stated plainly. You see exactly what you’re buying.
- 4
Parts decision and permit pull. If you go with us, we pull the permit if the job requires it, order the parts, and schedule the work. No change orders unless we find rot that no one could see from the outside, and if we do, you’ll see it before we touch it.
- 5
Installation and testing. The unit goes in with the flashing method that matches your roof system, not whatever is fastest. We water-test before we leave, and we don’t call it done until the test passes.
- 6
Warranty registration and the Done Right Promise. Before the truck leaves, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with the durations stated clearly. If anything isn’t right inside 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Riviera Beach
Here are honest ranges for the CGI roof work we do most in Riviera Beach:
- CGI Sentry roof window replacement (single unit, standard size): $2,800-$5,200 installed
- CGI Estate Collection skylight full replacement with curb rebuild: $5,500-$9,800 installed
- Insulated glass unit replacement for CGI roof glass (seal failure): $1,200-$3,000 per unit

What moves the price: whether the deck is rotten, whether you need a crane or lift for upper-level access, whether the unit is a custom size, and whether the city requires a permit with engineering. We don’t pad the bill to cover unknowns. We inspect first, then quote. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate with the numbers on paper.

We’ve been serving Riviera Beach and Palm Beach County since 2008 through our founder Dale Kessler’s craft tradition.

A single CGI roof window replacement in Riviera Beach typically costs $2,800 to $5,200 installed, while a full roof replacement with multiple CGI units runs $18,000 to $42,000. The exact number depends on unit size, deck condition, and access. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free written estimate.
Yes. When a CGI roof replacement or installation in Riviera Beach requires a permit, we pull it before we start work and we don’t close the job until the inspection passes. You’ll see the permit number on your paperwork.
In most cases, yes. If the frame is sound and the opening is square, we can replace the insulated glass unit and preserve the existing CGI frame, which usually costs $1,200 to $3,000 per unit.

It can, if the roofing crew damages the CGI units or the flashing was never correct to begin with. We’ve seen warranty claims denied because a roofer’s tear-off cracked a CGI frame or the reflash didn’t meet the manufacturer’s spec. When we handle the replacement, we register both warranty layers in writing and document the installation so your coverage stays intact.
We do. We’re authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we carry parts for all of them. If a side-by-side comparison shows another brand would hold up better for your situation, we’ll put both numbers on paper and let you decide.
