AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Boynton Beach: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Boynton Beach means installing impact-rated CGI skylights, roof windows, and glass roof panels that meet Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone codes. Most Boynton Beach CGI roof work we handle runs $1,800 to $7,400 depending on glass size, curb mounting, and whether we’re replacing a failed unit or installing fresh openings. We are an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, which means we quote your job on its actual condition, not on what a brand program tells us to sell.
This page is for Boynton Beach homeowners who already own CGI roof glass or are shopping it against PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. If that’s you, call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll send a tech who measures twice and quotes in writing.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a solid impact product, but roof glass lives a harder life in Boynton Beach than wall glass ever will. Direct sun, salt air, and monsoon-season rain cycles find every weak point sooner. Here’s what we actually see on CGI roof units in this market:
- CGI Sentinel Series skylights: seal gasket compression set. The Sentinel line uses a compression gasket between the glass pack and the curb frame. After eight to ten Boynton Beach summers, that gasket hardens and takes a set. Water doesn’t pour in - it wicks, slowly, usually showing up as a faint waterline stain on the drywall before anyone notices the gasket is the problem. Our fix is a full gasket replacement and curb reseal, not a caulk smear over the top. Caulk over a failed compression gasket buys you one season at best.
- CGI Series 400 roof windows: operator arm torque wear. The 400 Series venting roof windows use a stainless operator arm that gets stiff in salt air. Homeowners force the crank, the arm torques, and the sash starts sitting out of parallel - which kills the weatherstripping and invites leaks at one corner. We replace the arm with OEM parts and re-align the sash before it fractures the frame corner.
- CGI fixed roof glass panels: failed photovoltaic cell connections on integrated units. Some CGI roof glass ships with factory-integrated solar shade or vent controls. The wiring passes through the curb in a flexible conduit that, after enough UV exposure, gets brittle and cracks. We see intermittent shade motors and dead vent fans on units less than ten years old. The cause is the conduit, not the motor. Replacing the conduit and re-sealing the penetration fixes the symptom without replacing the glass.
- CGI Low-E glass roof panels: edge seal gas loss. Any insulated glass unit loses argon over time, but CGI roof glass gets baked harder from above than wall glass ever will. When the Low-E coating starts to look hazy from the inside, that’s edge seal failure and gas migration. If it’s within warranty, we document it, photograph the unit label, and help you file. If it’s out of warranty, we replace the IGU rather than recharge it - recharging an IGU that has already lost its seal is a short-term patch, not a repair.
- CGI curb-mounted skylights: flashing corner splits. In Boynton Beach, the curb flashing on older CGI installations was often done with aluminum that expands and contracts against the roof membrane. The corners split first, usually on the southwest exposure. Water then rides the split under the shingle and into the curb chase. We rebuild the curb flashing with proper corner saddles and sealant that stays flexible past 200 degrees of roof surface heat.
None of these are reasons to abandon a CGI product. They’re reasons to have someone look at the whole assembly rather than just the obvious leak.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s how a CGI roof job goes when you call TruePane Windows & Doors:
- 1
The call. You call (561) 708-6771. A live person answers, takes the address, and asks what you’re seeing. No menu, no callback list.
- 2
The site visit. We schedule a tech who works the roof glass trade specifically. They inspect the glass, the curb, the flashing, the interior for water intrusion, and the attic side if accessible. Every measurement gets taken twice.
- 3
The written quote. You get a line-item quote on paper: parts, labor, removal, disposal, and permit costs if the job requires one. We show you OEM versus quality aftermarket options side by side with the price difference stated plainly. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a guarantee - it’s a conversation.
- 4
The work. We schedule the job, show up when we say, protect the interior below the opening, and remove the old unit without wrecking your roof deck. New flashing goes in before the new glass goes down. If the curb needs rebuilding, that’s part of the job - not a change order we spring on you mid-day.
- 5
The test and the paperwork. We run water on every seam and watch from inside for intrusion. Then we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. No second appointment to finish paperwork.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no forms, no fine print.
What CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Boynton Beach
Here are honest price ranges for common Boynton Beach CGI roof jobs:
- Replace one CGI fixed skylight (standard 2×4 curb): $1,800 to $3,200 installed, depending on glass package and curb condition.
- Replace one CGI operable roof window (Series 400, manual crank): $2,800 to $4,900, including operator replacement if needed.
- New CGI install - fixed glass roof panel with new curb: $3,600 to $7,400 including roof penetrations, flashing, and finish trim.
- Reseal and re-flash existing CGI skylight (no glass replacement): $750 to $1,400, more if the curb sheathing has rot from repeated leaking.
- Replace failed IGU in existing CGI frame: $1,100 to $2,600 depending on glass size and Low-E spec.
The spread exists because a 2×4 curb that’s dry and square is a simple morning’s work. A 4×6 curb with rotted chase framing and a flashing job that never got done right is a different animal. What moves the price: glass package (standard, Low-E, tinted), operable versus fixed, curb condition, roof deck access, and whether we’re pulling a permit. You’ll see every one of those items on our written quote, so the price doesn’t change when the work starts unless the roof opens up and tells us something different from what we could see from the outside. If that happens, we stop, show you with photos, and get your approval before touching anything else.

Why Boynton Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We’ve been in this trade since 2008, and the part of it that matters for roof glass is simple: we measure like it’s our own house, and we stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise that doesn’t have a maze of exclusions attached to it. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the specific quirks of CGI roof products - the gasket compression, the flashing corners, the curb chase rot that hides until someone gets eyes on it.
Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 after spending the better part of two decades measuring, glazing, and setting frames across Palm Beach County. He grew up off Lawrence Road in the Meadows section of Boynton Beach, and what he learned from every summer storm has stuck: the difference between a roof glass job that lasts and one that leaks is the discipline at the install, not the brand on the label. We’re authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems too, so if a CGI replacement isn’t the right call for your situation, we’ll show you what those alternatives cost on paper, side by side, without pushing you one direction. A square deal means you see your options and make the call.
FAQs
A CGI skylight replacement in Boynton Beach typically runs $1,800 to $3,200 for a standard fixed 2×4 curb-mounted unit, including removal, new flashing, and finish work. Larger units, operable roof windows, and jobs where the curb framing needs rebuilding can push the total to $4,900 or more. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote - we come out, get on the roof, and give you a line-item price in writing before any work begins.
We quote both options side by side on paper, and we tell you the trade-offs in plain language. For things like operator arms and gaskets on newer units under warranty, OEM is the right call every time. For out-of-warranty seal replacements and flashing work on older units, quality aftermarket components often outperform OEM at a better price. You decide after seeing the numbers, not after we’ve already bought the parts.
If your CGI product is within the manufacturer’s warranty window and the issue qualifies, we document the failure, photograph the unit label, and help you file the claim properly. If it’s out of warranty, the warranty on the workmanship for our installation is 90 days, in writing, through our Done Right Promise. Both warranty layers on new parts get registered in writing before we leave your driveway.
A standard curb-mounted skylight replacement in Boynton Beach is usually done in one visit, typically half a day, because we bring all the flashing, sealant, and parts we might need rather than discovering mid-job we need to run to a supply house. New installs with a new curb, or replacements where the curb chase shows rot, can take a full day or into a second day - we’ll tell you that in the quote before you book anything.
If the frame and curb are still sound and the only failure is the insulated glass unit - hazing between the panes, a crack, lost seal - replacing the IGU inside the existing frame is often the most cost-effective fix, usually $1,100 to $2,600. If the frame has warped, the operator has failed, or the flashing is shot, replacing the whole unit is usually the smarter long-term move. We’ll show you both numbers and let you decide with the roof open only if absolutely necessary. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll give it to you straight after a site inspection - estimates are free.
