How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI makes a serious impact-rated product line, but Coral Gables’ particular blend of salt air, intense UV, and afternoon downpours creates failure patterns we see on specific models more than others.

• CGI Sentinel Series shingles: The adhesive strip on older Sentinel shingles loses its grip after years of Florida heat cycling. We see this most often in the Snapper Creek and Hammock Oaks neighborhoods, where tree canopy traps humidity against the roof deck. Our fix: a mechanical fastening upgrade paired with a UV-stable sealant, not just another layer of adhesive that will fail the same way.
• CGI tile-to-deck separation: On CGI barrel tile profiles, the mortar bed can crack at the ridge line where the roof expands and contracts most. This is a Coral Gables-specific reality: our temperature swings between air-conditioned interiors and 95-degree roof surfaces create more movement than manufacturers’ testing accounts for. We reset the affected tiles and install a flexible bond at the ridge that moves with the roof instead of fighting it.
• CGI metal panel seam fatigue near the coast: Homes east of Old Cutler Road get more salt deposition than the rest of Coral Gables. On CGI standing seam panels, we find the lancing and snap-lock seams can develop micro-corrosion at the overlap points within 10 to 12 years. The fix is early intervention: we inspect, clean, and apply a manufacturer-compatible protective coating before the corrosion spreads under the panel face.
• Underlayment degradation under CGI tile: This is the one CGI’s own documentation doesn’t emphasize. The tile itself may look fine, but the underlayment beneath it – the part that actually keeps water out of your house – has a service life of roughly 15 to 20 years in South Florida. We routinely find homes in the Biltmore and Country Club sections where the underlayment is shot while the CGI tile above it still looks brand new. Our inspection includes a lift-and-check at the eaves and valleys so you know before you have a ceiling stain.
• Flashing failures around CGI skylight curbs and penetrations: We find this on every roofing brand, but CGI’s thicker impact-rated profiles make retrofitted flashing a tighter fit. If a previous contractor used generic flashing instead of a properly sized profile-matched piece, water gets in at the corners. We cut and fit flashing specific to the CGI profile on your roof, not a one-size-fits-all bend from the supply house.

Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s how a CGI roofing job goes with us, from first call to final walkthrough:

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. No voicemail loop. We ask what’s going on, we schedule a time that works for you, and we show up when we say we will. No trip charge inside our home county.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and document everything. We climb up, look at the actual condition of your CGI product, take photos, and show you what we found. We don’t sell from the ground.
3. 3
   We make the parts decision with you. If your CGI product is still under warranty, we recommend OEM parts and we’ll follow warranty-safe practices so you don’t void it. If it’s out of warranty, we’ll show you the price difference between OEM and quality aftermarket equivalents that we’ve tested in South Florida conditions. You decide. We just give you honest numbers.
4. 4
   You get a written line-item estimate. Every charge listed. Materials, labor, disposal, permit fees if needed. The number you sign is the number you pay.
5. 5
   We do the work, then we test it. Water test at every repair point. Visual inspection from ridge to eave. If it’s not right, we catch it before we leave, not after you call us back.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do.

Why Coral Gables Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We’ve been doing this since 2011. Ed Winslow grew up in Coconut Grove, studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College, and has spent his entire working life in South Florida’s sun, salt air, and hurricane seasons. He learned early that a roof either holds or it doesn’t, and the difference usually comes down to whether the person doing the work actually cares about what they’re leaving behind.

We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop. That means we work for you, not for a brand’s warranty department. We carry and work on CGI, PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which means we’re not guessing at one product line. We know how these systems behave in Coral Gables specifically, because we’ve been fixing them here for over a decade. Every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is on your property before the truck parks.

The Done Right Promise is not a marketing line. It’s the standard Ed holds himself to on his own house, and it’s the standard on yours. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. – and someone will actually answer.
