CGI Roof Repair in Wellington: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Wellington typically runs $350 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing a single roof lite, resealing a curb-mounted unit, or rebuilding a rotted curb around a venting skylight. Most CGI repairs on homes in Wellington take one visit, usually two to four hours on site, and we carry common CGI-compatible glazing beads, sealants, and curb flashing on the truck so we’re not ordering a part and leaving you with a tarp for a week. We’re an independent CGI service provider, which means we work for you, not a manufacturer’s warranty-claim schedule, and we quote the repair honestly even when the honest answer is that you’d be better served by a full curb rebuild than another tube of sealant.
If you own a CGI roof unit in Wellington and you’ve noticed a drip, a fogged lite, a cracked pane, or water staining on the ceiling drywall below the opening, this page tells you what’s actually going on, what it should cost, and who to call: (561) 349-4826. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting glass in Palm Beach County long enough to know that a roof repair done wrong costs more than the one done right the first time.
Key Takeaways
- Most CGI roof repairs in Wellington are single-visit jobs with pricing between $350 and $1,800.
- CGI roof units share failure points with other Miami-Dade-rated systems, but their curb flashing details and lite retention differ enough that generic fixes don’t hold.

- Free estimates. Call (561) 349-4826 and a live person answers, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
We see the same five failure patterns on CGI roof assemblies across Wellington, and knowing which one you’re dealing with is the difference between a $400 repair and a $2,400 replacement. Here’s what shows up most often, what causes it, and what we do about it.
- Seal failure on CGI Ventura and Sentry series fixed roof lites. The insulated glass unit loses its argon fill and the two panes start showing condensation between them that you can’t wipe off. This isn’t cosmetic. Once the seal fails, the unit’s energy rating is gone and the low-E coating starts degrading. We measure the exact lite dimensions on site, order a matching IGU with the same make-up as the original CGI spec, and set it with the correct setting blocks so the new unit doesn’t rest on the frame and fail the same way in three years.
- Curb flashing separation on curb-mounted CGI skylights and roof windows. Wellington’s afternoon thunderstorms dump water fast, and a curb flashing that was sealed with the wrong sealant profile will lift at the corners within two or three seasons. We strip the old sealant, inspect the curb for rot, rebuild the curb if the wood’s soft, and reflash with a urethane sealant that stays flexible in Florida sun. This is the repair we do most often after other contractors’ “reseal” jobs fail within a year.
- Fractured lite on CGI operable roof windows, especially the venting sashes. A branch in a storm, a dropped tool, or a stress crack from a frame that shifted all land here. CGI uses laminated glass in most of its product lines, so a crack doesn’t mean glass raining into the room, but it does compromise the impact rating. We replace the lite with a laminated unit that matches the original in thickness and interlayer specification, not whatever the supply house has on the shelf.
- Weeping or leaking at the sill of CGI operable units that vent to the roof plane. This is the one that gets misdiagnosed most often. Water appearing at the interior sill of a venting CGI roof window is usually not a seal failure. It’s a drainage weep clogged with Wellington’s particular mix of pollen, dust, and oak catkins. The fix is often a thorough cleaning of the interior drain channels and weep holes, which we do before recommending any glass work. We’ve saved Wellington homeowners thousands by checking this first, and we’ll tell you if that’s all it was.
- Frame degradation at the curb line on older CGI roof assemblies from the early 2000s. Homes built during the Wellington building boom of that era often had roof units set on curbs that were flashed with materials since discontinued. The aluminum frame and the curb develop corrosion at the fastener line, and the whole assembly starts to sag. In these cases, the right repair is a curb rebuild with new flashing and a re-bed of the frame, which we do as a repair when the unit itself is still sound.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
A CGI roof repair with TruePane Windows & Doors follows the same discipline as a full impact window install. We don’t cut corners on a repair that we wouldn’t cut on a new unit, because a repair that fails in the next storm is just a delayed replacement with extra water damage.
- 1
You call (561) 349-4826. A live person answers. We ask where the water is showing up, what the ceiling looks like below the unit, and what the roof assembly looks like from inside. That conversation tells us whether this is a same-week repair or something to address before the next front rolls through.
- 2
We inspect the unit, the curb, and the roof plane around it. One of our uniformed, background-checked technicians comes out, gets on the roof, and photographs everything. We measure the glass, check the curb for rot, inspect the flashing, and test the drainage if the unit vents.
- 3
We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. You’ll see the parts, the labor, and the warranty terms on paper. If we recommend OEM CGI components, we’ll tell you why. If a quality aftermarket lite or sealant matches the spec and saves you money without compromising the unit, we’ll tell you that too.
- 4
We do the repair. Roof work is done by technicians who know how to move on a Florida tile or shingle roof without damaging the roof itself, and every job is treated as if it were on our own mother’s house, which for some of us means a house in Wellington.
- 5
We water-test the repair before we come off the roof. Whether it’s a hose test at the curb or a seal check at the lite, we don’t call the job done until we’ve verified the fix under real water flow.
- 6
We register the warranty on the parts and the labor before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Wellington
Here are the ranges we quote most often for CGI roof work in Wellington. These are honest numbers for a county where roof assemblies take more weather in one summer than most of the country takes in five years.
| Repair Type | Typical Cost | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Weep and drainage cleaning on venting CGI unit | $175 – $350 | Access difficulty, pitch of roof |
| Seal replacement on one roof lite | $400 – $850 | Lite size, IGU make-up, single vs. double-glazed |
| Curb flashing repair and reseal | $550 – $1,100 | Amount of old sealant to strip, curb condition |
| Lite replacement on CGI operable or fixed unit | $650 – $1,800 | Laminated vs. tempered, size, custom shapes |
| Curb rebuild with re-bed and new flashing | $1,400 – $2,800 | Extent of rot, tile or shingle roof, framer work |
Prices move on three things: how long the roof work takes under Florida sun, whether the lite is a standard size or a custom CGI make-up, and whether the curb itself needs carpentry. Every estimate is free, written, and good for what it says. Call (561) 349-4826 for an exact quote.
Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’re a Wellington company. Dale Kessler grew up in Paddock Park, where half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades, and that bothered him enough to make it his life’s work. We’ve been setting impact-rated glass in Palm Beach County for going on three decades, and a CGI roof unit is not an unfamiliar piece of equipment to us. It’s a known assembly with known failure points, and we’ve seen enough of them to know what to look for before we write an estimate.
Every CGI repair we do is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. We also know that a roof repair sometimes reveals a door or window that needs attention, and because we’re authorized to install PGT, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and more than a dozen other lines alongside CGI, we can quote you side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’d be buying. We answer the phone when you call because we plan to be in Wellington in thirty years.
FAQs
In most cases, no, as long as the repair is documented and done with components that match the original CGI specification. That’s why we register both the parts and the labor warranty in writing on every job. We can’t speak for CGI’s warranty department in every individual claim, but we document our work so that a repair never becomes the reason a claim is denied.
Yes, usually. CGI uses laminated and tempered glass make-ups that remain available through specialty glass fabricators even when the specific series has been discontinued. We measure the existing lite, identify the interlayer and coating spec, and order a matching IGU. It may take a few days to fabricate, but we’ll tell you that timeline before we start.
For an active leak, we prioritize the call and typically have a technician out within 24 to 48 hours. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can seal the leak temporarily to stop water coming in, or whether the right move is a full repair. Call (561) 349-4826 and talk to a real person about what you’re seeing.
If the glass is fogged between the panes, the frame is intact, and the curb is sound, repair is almost always the right call. If the frame is corroded at the fastener line, the curb has significant rot, or the unit has failed in multiple places, replacement starts to make better sense. We’ll tell you which one applies to your unit after a real inspection, and we’ll show you the numbers for both.
We offer a free written repair estimate, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. We also offer a maintenance check if you want us to check the seals, drainage, and flashing before storm season. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule either.
