CGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $900 to $3,400 for most residential repairs, with full glass panel replacements on CGI Estate Collection and Targa series units typically landing between $450 and $1,200 per panel depending on size and finish. Most CGI jobs take two to five business days from quote to completed install for in-stock glass, though custom tinted or laminated orders can run two to three weeks. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory-authorized shop, which means we quote OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side and let you decide with the numbers on paper in front of you.
This page is written for the Palm Beach Gardens homeowner who bought a CGI product years ago, wants it serviced correctly, and doesn’t want to chase a warranty department that doesn’t answer. If that’s you, call (772) 794-8169 and a live person picks up.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid aluminum frame. Most failures we see in Palm Beach Gardens aren’t the extrusion. They’re what time and salt air do to the seals, the glazing beads, and the fasteners that hold everything against the roof deck. Here’s what we find most often.
- Seal failure around the insulated glass unit (IGU) on the CGI Estate Collection roof panels. The butyl and desiccant inside the spacer break down after eight to twelve years in our humidity. You’ll see fog between the panes that comes and goes with the morning sun. The fix is a new IGU, not a whole new frame. We measure the sightline twice, order the replacement, and set it with fresh setting blocks so the glass sits on rubber, never on aluminum.
- Weep-hole clogging on Targa series overhead glazing. Pine needles, pollen, and the fine sand that blows off the beach settle into the weep channels. Water backs up, sits against the glazing gasket, and starts eating the sealant from the inside. We clear the weeps, check the gasket for compression set, and replace any that are flat. This is a two-hour job most of the time, and it prevents a leak that would cost four times as much to chase later.
- Deck-mount fastener corrosion on roof systems installed before 2010. CGI used zinc-plated screws on some early deck-mount curbs, and zinc doesn’t hold up within a mile of the Jupiter inlet. We see rust blooming around the screw heads and hairline water trails on the interior. We replace with 316 stainless or coated fasteners, re-bed the curb with the correct shim count, and torque to spec. That torque spec matters more than most people realize. Over-torqued screws oval out the frame and that is where water gets in.
- Laminated glass delamination on the Sentinel and Clarity lines. The PVB interlayer is doing its job holding the glass together, but poor original installation can let moisture wick in from the edge. You’ll see a milky white border growing inward from the pane edge. We can’t un-delaminate glass. We replace the lite and address the edge seal detail that caused it, so the new panel doesn’t fail the same way inside five years.
- Thermal stress cracks on large overhead spans. South-facing CGI roof panels in Palm Beach Gardens take brutal sun from noon through five. If the original installer didn’t leave adequate edge clearance, the glass expands and the raw edge binds against the frame. The crack starts at the edge and runs straight. We cut the same opening dimensions but with proper expansion gaps and anti-walk blocks. Every pane goes in with the manufacturer’s recommended edge bite, not a guess.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. A live person answers (772) 794-8169 at any hour. You describe what you’re seeing: fog, leak, crack, binding. We set a time and we’re there when we say.
- 2
On-site inspection and measurement. A background-checked, uniformed technician gets eyes on the actual unit. We check the glass, the frame, the fasteners, the curb, the sealant. We measure every opening twice and write the numbers down on the quote sheet where you can see them.
- 3
Written quote with OEM and aftermarket options. We price the replacement both ways. OEM glass carries the factory branding and the longer written warranty. Quality aftermarket lites from established fabricators can save 30 to 40 percent. You choose with the numbers on paper.
- 4
Parts ordering and schedule lock. For in-stock sizes we’re typically installing within the week. For custom laminated or tinted IGUs, we give you a real lead time and we hold to it. No “it’ll show up when it shows up.”
- 5
Installation and seal work. The old unit comes out, the curb and frame get cleaned and inspected, and the new unit goes in with fresh setting blocks, correct edge clearance, and sealant applied to the bead line, not smeared over everything like frosting. The glazing beads go back in square. If the frame is out of true, we straighten it before the glass goes in.
- 6
Test, clean, and register the warranty. We run water over the assembly where it’s safe to do so, inspect the interior for any sign of moisture, and wipe the glass clean. Before the truck leaves, both warranty layers that apply to your job are registered in writing with the durations stated. You get a copy. We keep a copy. That is The Keystone Standard, and we don’t skip it.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Here’s what we see on CGI jobs in this market, based on the work we’ve done from Mirasol to Old Palm to PGA National.
| Work | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Single IGU replacement, standard clear | $450 - $750 |
| Single IGU replacement, tinted or Low-E | $600 - $1,000 |
| Full panel replacement, Estate Collection | $800 - $1,500 per panel |
| Targa series overhead glazing repair, including new gaskets and sealant | $500 - $1,200 |
| Curb re-bed, fastener upgrade to stainless, re-seal | $900 - $2,200 |
| Multi-panel roof deck replacement with scaffolding or lift access | $3,000 - $8,500+ |
What moves the number? Access is the biggest one. If we need a lift or scaffold to reach your roof deck, that’s real labor and real safety equipment. The second is finish: clear stock glass is the cheapest, tinted is more, and custom low-iron or obscure glass adds another layer. The third is condition of the existing frame. A square frame we keep. A rotted curb or warped aluminum means the job scope grows.

Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Because when a roof panel starts fogging or leaking, you want the people who show up to know the difference between a CGI Estate Collection and a knock-off. We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which means our techs see the range of South Florida impact products every week. They know where CGI runs tight and where the aftermarket parts are actually better than the original. That’s not marketing. That’s what years in this community teaches you.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule he’s never taken off the board: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hire local, we train apprentices into journeymen, and we answer the phone because we plan to be here in thirty years. Every CGI job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it isn’t done right, we make it right. In writing. No argument.
FAQs
Yes. We send a glass sample from the existing unit to our fabricator for spectral matching before we order. Tints like grey, bronze, and the blue-green “Evergreen” finish CGI used on the Estate line need a physical sample to match accurately. Ordering blind from a code number gets you a panel you can see the difference in every afternoon for the next twenty years. Call (772) 794-8169 for an exact quote on tint-matched CGI glass replacement.
If the unit is still under the manufacturer’s coverage period, replacing the glass through a third-party fabricator can affect the remaining warranty on that specific unit. We walk you through what’s covered and what isn’t before you commit. In many cases, the factory warranty has already expired by the time the seal fails. If it hasn’t, we’ll recommend OEM glass. You get the choice in writing. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll look up your unit’s status.
Most in-stock CGI-size IGUs are installed within three to five business days of your signed quote. Custom tinted or oversized panels run two to three weeks because the glass is cut and laminated to order. During hurricane season, every fabricator in Florida gets backed up, so we recommend scheduling before August if you can. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll give you a firm date before any work is scheduled.
Both, depending on the frame condition. If the aluminum is straight and the curb is sound, we re-bed, re-seal, and replace rotted fasteners. If the curb is water-damaged or the frame is so far out of true that no glazing bead will seat correctly, replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you exactly why with the numbers on paper. Call (772) 794-8169 to schedule a free inspection.
It can be. A cracked lite in a roof application can keep spreading, and in a storm, a compromised panel is more likely to fail under wind load. If you’re seeing cracks, water trails on the interior, or fog you can’t clear, don’t wait until the next named storm. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll get a technician out to assess it. Estimates are free, and the inspection tells you exactly where you stand.
