AfterCGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Hollywood: What to Know First
We provide independent CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing service in Hollywood, and most single-unit repairs are completed the same morning we arrive. We are not the cheapest bid in the room, and we will not pretend to be. What we offer is a straight diagnosis, a written line-item quote before any work starts, and a repair that holds up to the Hollywood sun, salt air, and summer thunderstorms. If you own a CGI roof and something is off, call (863) 334-2933 and a live person will answer.
This page is for Hollywood homeowners who bought a CGI roof because they wanted it done right the first time, and who now need a company that will treat that investment the same way. We work on CGI shingle, tile and metal systems throughout South Broward, from Emerald Hills to Hollywood Lakes to Driftwood.
As an independent CGI service provider, we are not authorized by or affiliated with CGI. That independence matters when it comes to repair decisions, because we will tell you plainly when an OEM part is worth the wait and when a quality aftermarket component does the job just as well without voiding anything.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious wind-rated roof. But every product has a way it lets go after enough seasons in coastal Hollywood, and knowing those patterns is what separates a real fix from a patch job. Here is what we see most often:
- CGI Estate Collection shingle systems: lifted hip and ridge caps after a named storm. The field shingles hold fine, but the ridge cap adhesive loses its bond under repeated salt-laden wind. We remove the cap, re-bed it with a polyurethane sealant rated for coastal exposure, and reset the fasteners to CGI’s wind-load spec. The fix takes about two hours and keeps the next storm from turning a cosmetic lift into a full ridge blow-off.
- CGI tile profiles: cracked barrel tiles at the gable end transition. We see this on homes in Hollywood’s older subdivisions where the original decking has settled. The tile itself did not fail; the framing underneath moved a quarter inch and cracked the tile at its thin point. We pull the cracked units, sister the decking seam, and re-set the tiles with a flexible mastic rather than a rigid mortar so the repair survives the next settlement cycle.
- CGI metal roof panels: fastener back-out along the eave overhang. Thermal cycling in South Florida is brutal on panel fasteners. The panels expand in the midday heat and contract at night, and over five or six years the screws along the drip edge walk themselves partway out. We replace them with a larger-diameter, longer screw with a bonded washer, and we inspect the panel seams for micro-fractures while we are up there. This is a two-hour job that prevents a leak that would run silently behind the fascia for months.
- CGI underlayment interface: leaks at the penetration flashing. Pipe boots, vent stacks, and exhaust hoods are where water gets in on most CGI roofs, not through the shingle or tile itself. Hollywood’s afternoon downpours pour more water over a penetration flashing in ten minutes than most roofs see in a week elsewhere. We pull the old boot, inspect the pipe for corrosion, and install a silicone sleeved boot with a metal collar, then seal the base to the CGI underlayment with a marine-grade sealant.
- CGI’s older Sentry line (now discontinued): color-matched tile availability. Some Hollywood homes still have the original Sentry profile in a color CGI stopped producing years ago. DIY or fly-by-night repair attempts leave a mismatched patch. We keep a network of salvage yards and distributors for discontinued CGI colors, and when a true match is not available we re-roof a clean section line so the transition is not visible from the curb.
One more thing: measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself. That rule is on the whiteboard every morning, and it applies to a ridge cap just as much as it does to a storefront on Hollywood Boulevard.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. No menu, no callback. We get your address in Hollywood, what the roof is doing, and when it started. Then we set an arrival window and keep it.
- 2
Full roof inspection, not just the reported spot. We walk the whole field, check the penetrations, look at the fascia and flashing. A leak over the kitchen is often entering ten feet away. We find the actual entry point before quoting anything.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You see exactly what gets replaced, what it costs, and whether we are recommending OEM or a quality aftermarket part. No open-ended language, no “materials as needed” fine print.
- 4
Repair done in one visit when possible. Our technicians are uniformed, background-checked, and they have been trained on CGI’s load paths and fastener schedules. They lay down protection, do the work, and clean up the same day.
- 5
Water test where applicable. On leak repairs we run a hose test at the repair site before packing up. If water shows up inside, the job is not done.
- 6
Warranty paperwork in your hand. We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave, consistent with The Keystone Standard. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No arguing.
What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Hollywood
Every roof is different, and anyone who quotes you a price over the phone without walking the roof is guessing. That said, here is what Hollywood homeowners can expect based on the CGI work we do most often:
- Repair a lifted or missing ridge cap (CGI Estate shingle): $180 to $340, depending on linear footage and access.
- Replace 3 to 5 cracked CGI barrel tiles at a gable edge: $250 to $450, including matching color when available.
- Re-fasten a 20-foot run of backed-out CGI metal panel screws: $200 to $380.
- Replace a failed pipe boot or penetration flashing on a CGI roof: $220 to $400, depending on pipe count and deck condition.
- Partial re-roof section (one slope, up to 400 square feet) with matching CGI material: $3,800 to $6,900, including underlayment inspection and flashing tie-in.
What moves the price: roof pitch and access, whether the damaged section is at a one-story eave or a two-story hip, whether the decking underneath is still sound, and parts availability for your specific CGI line. Hollywood’s flash thunderstorms mean we schedule work around the afternoon rain when a water test is involved. Call (863) 334-2933 and we will quote your repair in writing. Estimates are free.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have served local communities since 2008, and Dale Kessler built this company in 2008 on a principle that has not changed: a roof repair should not require a lawyer to get honored. Our Done Right Promise is exactly what it sounds like. If the repair does not hold, we come back and make it right, with no paperwork fight.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters on a CGI roof because our technicians already know impact-rated load paths, coastal fastener schedules, and the difference between a product that is rated for Broward County and one that is not. When a Hollywood homeowner calls us about a CGI roof, they get a technician who has probably already worked on half a dozen other impact products in the same neighborhood.
We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because this company plans to be in Hollywood in thirty years. We are not a franchise. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us and you will talk to a human who knows the difference between a ridge cap and a rake edge.
FAQs
No, provided the repair is done with compatible materials and proper fastening methods. As an independent CGI service provider, we are careful to use sealants, fasteners, and underlayment that meet or exceed CGI’s published specifications, so your manufacturer warranty stays intact. Call (863) 334-2933 if you want us to review your specific warranty language before any work begins.
In most cases, yes. For current CGI lines we source directly from distributors with current color charts. For discontinued lines like the older Sentry series, we pull from a network of salvage yards and southwest Broward suppliers. When a true match is not possible, we re-work a clean section line so the roof looks intentional rather than patched. Call (863) 334-2933 and describe what you have; we will tell you honestly what is available.
For active leaks our technicians are usually on a Hollywood roof within one to two business days, often faster. We keep common CGI fasteners, boots, and sealants on the trucks, so single-visit repairs are the standard, not the exception. Call (863) 334-2933 and a live person will put you on the schedule.
We will not tell you to replace a roof that has ten good years left. If the decking is sound, the underlayment is intact, and the damage is localized, repair is the right call and we will say so. If the roof is approaching the end of its rated life or the decking has rot, we will tell you that too, with a written quote either way. Call (863) 334-2933 for an honest assessment.
We work on all three: CGI shingle, tile and metal roofing systems. Metal panel jobs are common in Hollywood where the coastal wind rating is the whole reason the homeowner chose metal in the first place. We re-fasten, re-seal, and replace individual panels as needed, and we will not upsell you a full re-panel when a six-foot run will do the job.
If your CGI roof is showing any of these signs, call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate. A person answers, we show up when we say, and we stand behind the work in writing.
