As an independent CGI service provider, we are not affiliated with or authorized by CGI. That matters because it lets us tell you the truth about which fixes hold up in Miami’s climate and which ones are throwing money at a roof that’s already at the end of its life.

How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds strong roofing products, but Miami’s salt air, UV exposure, and hurricane-driven rain expose failure points that other markets never see. Here are the ones we deal with most often:

• CGI’s stone-coated metal shingles and the salt creep problem. CGI’s stone-coated steel lines, including their metal shingle profiles, hold their coating well in most climates, but Miami’s salt air works into the stone granule layer after about eight to twelve years. We see granule loss concentrated on the east-facing slopes where Biscayne Bay breezes hit hardest. Our fix is a restoration coating matched to the original profile, which buys another decade of service for far less than a tear-off.
• CGI tile profiles and lifted ridge caps after wind events. On CGI’s concrete and clay tile lines, the ridge cap mortar or mechanical fasteners are the first thing to let go when storm winds get under the tile edges. The tiles themselves rarely crack on impact; they lift, shift, or slide because the underlayment bond fails. We inspect the cap attachment points, reset shifted tiles with new fasteners rated for Miami-Dade wind loads, and replace the underlayment section by section instead of doing a full re-roof.
• CGI metal roof panel seams and thermal movement. CGI’s standing seam and exposed fastener metal panels expand and contract more than most people expect in Miami’s heat. Over time, the expansion movement loosens exposed fasteners, which lets water wick under the panels. This is a slow leak that shows up as a ceiling stain months after the actual gap opened. We retorque or replace fasteners with oversized heads, add sealant at the seam overlaps, and flag any panel that has corroded at the fastener holes.
• Shingle curling on CGI asphalt shingle lines. CGI’s shingle products, when installed over poorly vented Miami attics, curl at the edges because trapped heat bakes the asphalt from underneath. The shingles didn’t fail; the attic ventilation did. We address the attic airflow first (ridge vents, soffit vents, or both), then replace only the curled shingles if the rest of the roof is still sound.
• Flashing failures at the chimney and skylight transitions. This is common across every brand, but CGI’s heavier tile and stone-coated profiles put more stress on the flashing where the roof meets a vertical surface. Once the flashing separates, water runs straight down the underlayment. We rebuild the flashing detail with a double-water-barrier that matches CGI’s installation style so the repair blends in and stays watertight through hurricane season.

Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Every job follows the same sequence, and we’ll walk you through each step in plain language before work begins.

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. That’s Ed’s rule, and it’s not changing. We talk through what you’re seeing, schedule a visit, and confirm whether there’s a trip charge (there isn’t, inside our home county).
2. 2
   On-site inspection and diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed tech gets on the roof, documents everything with photos, and identifies the actual cause, not just the symptom. If it’s repairable, we say so. If it’s not, we tell you that too.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For warranty-sensitive or newer CGI roofs, we specify OEM parts. For older roofs where CGI has moved to a newer line, we recommend aftermarket parts that match or exceed the original spec. We’ll show you both options and the real price difference.
4. 4
   Line-item written estimate. No verbal estimates that change later. You get a written quote with the exact scope, materials, and price. We honor that number unless you approve a change in writing.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement. We protect your landscaping, lay down tarps, and keep the site clean. For tile work, we stage tiles off the roof to avoid cracking. For metal, we use drills with depth stops so panels never get dimpled.
6. 6
   Post-job inspection and warranty. We walk the roof with you, show you the completed work, and answer any question. Every job is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right.

What CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami

Here’s what you can expect to pay in Miami for common CGI roofing scenarios. These are honest ranges based on the jobs we’ve completed across the city, from Kendall to Little Havana to Pinecrest.

What moves the price: roof pitch (anything over 6/12 climbs fast), tile availability (matching a discontinued CGI tile profile costs more), access (two-story homes in places like Coconut Grove with tight lot lines require staging), and whether the underlayment needs replacement. The estimate we give you is the price you pay. Call (863) 862-5435 for your free, no-pressure estimate.
