How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a solid product, but Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, summer downpours, and hurricane cycles expose weaknesses that owners in drier climates never see. Here are the failure modes we encounter most often on CGI shingle, tile, and metal roofs in this city:

• Shingle granule loss on CGI’s asphalt line after year eight. The sun here is harder on asphalt than most manufacturers account for. We see granule washout along the eave edges first, where runoff concentrates. The fix is usually a section replacement with a matching CGI shingle, not a full re-roof, unless the deck is already spongy.
• Tile underlayment failure on CGI concrete tile systems. In Fort Lauderdale, the tiles themselves rarely fail first. The 30-pound felt or synthetic underlayment beneath them degrades from trapped humidity, and by the time a homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the paper is long gone. We pull the affected tiles, replace the underlayment with self-adhered membrane where code allows, and reset the same tile. That saves thousands over a full replacement.
• Metal flashing separation at CGI wall junctions. The thermal movement between a metal roof panel and a stucco wall is real, and Fort Lauderdale’s heat cycles it daily. When the sealant separates, water wicks into the gap. We remove the old flashing, clean the joint, install new CGI-compatible flashing with proper lap, and mechanically fasten it. Sealant alone never holds here.
• Wind-driven rain getting under CGI ridge caps during summer storms. A ridge cap that looks fine from the ground may be letting water in when wind hits it at 50 miles per hour from the east. We see this in neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista, where older homes have CGI caps secured with fasteners that have backed out over decades of storms. We re-seat, re-fasten, and waterproof the cap line.
• Valley seal failure on CGI metal roofs. Valleys collect more debris and water than any other part of a roof. When leaves sit in a CGI metal valley through a wet season, the seal breaks down. The symptom is a drip near the valley line during heavy rain. The fix is a cleaned and re-sealed valley with proper membrane underlayment, done in a single visit.

Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (754) 310-3589 and a live person answers. We schedule a time that works for you. No form, no callback, no automated system.
2. 2
   Rooftop inspection and framing read. We walk the roof, inspect the deck, check the fasteners, and read the existing framing the way Dale Kessler taught his crew: before quoting anything, understand what the roof is sitting on.
3. 3
   Written quote with side-by-side parts options. We put OEM CGI parts next to quality aftermarket options on paper, with prices, so you see exactly what you’re buying and why. No surprises later.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement with proper underlayment. We do the work, pulling only the material that’s failed, re-setting what can be saved, and making sure every seal is mechanically and chemically sound.
5. 5
   Water test and flood check. We run water over the work area, check the attic or interior for any sign of penetration, and don’t leave until it’s dry.
6. 6
   Paperwork and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We hand you the written warranty registration and stand behind the work for 90 days with no arguing. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
