CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing service across Miami, from Coral Gables to Kendall to Miami Gardens. Most CGI roofing repairs are completed in one to two days once we’ve sourced the right parts, and we give you a written, line-item quote before any work begins so you know exactly what you’re paying. If you own a CGI roof and something’s not right, call (863) 946-5039 and a real person will answer.
This page is for Miami homeowners who bought CGI roofing because they wanted hurricane-rated protection that holds up to coastal weather. You didn’t buy a commodity roof. You bought engineered impact resistance. When that roof needs service, it should be handled by people who understand CGI’s specific systems, not a crew that treats every shingle or tile the same. That’s where we come in.
Key Takeaways:
- We service CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing systems as an independent provider, not a corporate call center or an assembly-line crew.
- Our CGI work is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
- Upfront pricing, written quotes, and no trip charge inside Miami-Dade County.
- Ed Winslow owns the company. His name is on the door, not on a franchise agreement.
How CGI Products Fail and How We Fix Them
CGI roofs carry an impact rating for a reason. They’re built to take a hit from wind-driven debris and keep protecting the house. But even the best-engineered roofing has failure points, and in Miami’s heat, salt air and summer storm cycles, those points show up predictably.
- CGI Sierra Shingle: adhesive strip degradation in high-heat exposure. Miami sun breaks down the sealant strip between shingle courses faster than manufacturers’ temperate-zone testing suggests. You’ll see shingles lifting at the corners after a few summers, even when the shingle itself is still sound. We re-seal with a heat-rated adhesive and replace any shingles that have curled beyond salvage, matching the existing color profile.
- CGI Centurion Tile: underlayment failure at valley flashing. Tile roofs leak less at the tile than at the underlayment below it. In Miami’s afternoon downpours, we regularly find water wicking under valley metal where the original underlayment was lapped too short. Water rides the metal edge, works under the gap, and stains the ceiling below. We pull the tile apron, re-lay the valley with proper lap coverage, and reset the tiles by hand so the pattern stays true.
- CGI Alliance Metal Roof: fastener back-out from thermal cycling. Metal expands and contracts with every hot day and cool night. Over a Miami summer, that’s hundreds of thermal cycles. We see metal panel screws on older CGI Alliance installations working themselves loose, especially on south-facing slopes. The fix is systematic: torque-check every fastener on the affected plane, replace stripped or corroded fasteners, and re-seat the neoprene washers.
- CGI Estate Slate Tile: impact cracking at eave edges. The first course of tile at the roof edge takes the worst of falling branches and wind-lifted debris. We see hairline fractures along the eave course on CGI Estate Slate that owners miss until water stains appear on the fascia. We pull the cracked piece, inspect the batten below for rot, and set a replacement tile with a color match from our supplier.
- CGI Legacy Shingle: granule loss from salt-laden wind abrasion. Homes east of US-1 get salt mist riding the wind. That salt acts like sandpaper on granule-coated shingles. CGI Legacy Shingles hold up better than most, but we’ve replaced sections where granules have worn so thin the asphalt mat shows through and the shingle loses its UV resistance. We inspect for granule loss as a standard part of every CGI shingle roof evaluation.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
We treat every CGI roof as a system, not a surface. That means the fix isn’t just about what you can see from the ground. Here’s how a job goes when you call us.
- 1
You call, a person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback ticket. You describe what you’re seeing, and we schedule the visit. No trip charge inside Miami-Dade.
- 2
We inspect the roof in full. We walk the whole roof surface, check the underlayment at penetrations and valleys, and look for the failure pattern behind the symptom you called about. On a CGI leak, the water entry point is rarely where the stain is.
- 3
You get a written quote. We price the repair honestly, line by line: materials, labor, fasteners, underlayment, disposal if needed. If we can fix a section for $400 rather than re-roof the whole plane for ol2,000, we tell you so.
- 4
Parts decision. We prefer OEM CGI components when they’re available and warranty-sensitive. Where an aftermarket part is genuinely equivalent or better for the specific failure, we’ll tell you that too and let you decide. We never hide which is which.
- 5
The repair. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they do the work the same way we’d do it on Ed’s own roof: clean removal, proper prep, correct fastening, and no shortcuts.
- 6
We test and document. We wet-test the repaired area when water is involved, photograph the finished work, and explain what we did and why. Then the 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.
What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
Honest numbers up front. Here’s what we typically see on CGI work in Miami:
- Shingle repair (loose, lifted, or granule-damaged section): $350 to $900 depending on the size of the affected area and whether underlayment needs work.
- Tile replacement (cracked or broken CGI tile, single-course repair): $250 to $600 per tile location, including color matching, batten inspection, and resetting.
- Valley or flashing underlayment repair on tile roofs: $800 to $1,800 depending on valley length, slope access, and how much tile has to be pulled and reset.
- Metal roof fastener re-torque and reseal (per roof plane): $500 to $1,200 depending on panel count and accessibility.
- Full CGI shingle re-roof in Miami: $11,000 to $22,000 for a typical 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home, depending on tear-off weight, underlayment condition, and roof complexity.
The price moves on roof pitch, number of stories, how much of the old underlayment is still viable, and whether we’re matching discontinued CGI color profiles. You’ll never get a vague estimate from us. Call (863) 946-5039 and we’ll give you written numbers you can hold us to. The estimate is free.
Why Miami Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been serving South Florida since 2011, and we’re still locally owned and owner-operated. Ed Winslow is the name on the door and the person accountable for every roof we touch. When you call us about a CGI problem, you’re not calling a dispatch center in another state. You’re calling a local company with a published address, a license number you can look up, and a 36500-Day Done Right Promise that means exactly what it says. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No arguing, no fine print.
Our technicians know CGI roofs, but they also know PGT, CWS, ES Windows and ECO Window Systems. That matters more than you’d think. Many Miami homes have an impact-rated roof from one manufacturer and impact windows or doors from another. We understand how those systems interact, and we won’t sell you a fix that solves one problem while creating another. My name is on the door, literally. That’s all the guarantee you should need.
FAQs
We’re an independent CGI service provider, so we don’t administer CGI’s manufacturer warranty, and a repair by us doesn’t void it. Where a failure appears to be a manufacturer defect within the warranty period, we’ll tell you so you can pursue a claim directly with CGI. Where it’s a weather, age or installation issue, we fix it and stand behind our own work. Call (863) 946-5039 if you’re not sure which situation you’re looking at; we’ll help you figure it out without a service fee to come out.
We prefer OEM CGI components whenever the repair touches warranty-sensitive parts of the system, like the underlayment or flashing details. For things like fasteners, sealants and battens, we use commercial-grade materials that meet or exceed the original spec. You’ll always know which is which before we start. Call (863) 946-5039 for a written quote that spells out every part we plan to use.
If the roof deck is sound and the damage is localized, repair usually makes more financial sense. We’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case, even if a full replacement is what a commission-hungry salesman would pitch. If the underlayment is failing across multiple slopes or the shingles or tiles are past their serviceable life, we’ll show you why replacement is the smarter call and give you a fixed price for it. Either way, you get our honest read. Estimates are free.
Because tile roofs leak at the underlayment, not the tile. The tile is your impact layer and your first line of defense against sun and wind. The underlayment below it is what actually keeps water out. In Miami, underlayment fails from age, heat exposure at the eaves, or improper lapping at valleys and penetrations. We find the real leak path, not just the first wet spot. Call (863) 946-5039 to schedule an inspection.
We answer the phone live, 24/7. For active leaks and storm-related damage, we prioritize getting a technician out as quickly as our schedule allows, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there. No trip charge inside Miami-Dade County. For a roof you can see daylight through, call us now at (863) 946-5039 and we’ll work out the fastest path to getting it buttoned up.
You bought a CGI roof because you wanted the best protection Miami’s storms could throw at it. When it needs service, it deserves the same standard. Ed Winslow owns this company, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers every CGI shingle, tile and metal roof we touch. Call (863) 946-5039 for your free estimate. The one down the road.
