AfterCGI Roof Repair in Fort Myers: What to Know First
CGI roof repair in Fort Myers runs $450 to $1,900 for most residential jobs, depending on whether we’re replacing damaged flashing, sealing failed seams, or rebuilding a curb-mounted skylight that’s been leaking into the decking. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a factory warranty station, which means we repair what’s actually wrong instead of upselling you into a replacement you don’t need. Most repairs take one visit, four to eight hours, and we quote the price before we touch anything. If you own a CGI roof system, a metal roof with CGI components, or a home where CGI skylights and vents were installed over a shingle or tile deck, this page is for you. Call (239) 453-7751 and a live person answers, any hour of the day or night.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds tough products. We install and repair them because they hold up in Lee County’s sun and storm cycles better than most. But every product has weak points, and after years of pulling apart CGI systems in Fort Myers, we know exactly where they are.
- Skylight curb rot underneath CGI skylight units. This is the one we see most in older Fort Myers ranch homes off McGregor Boulevard and in Cape Coral’s canal neighborhoods. The CGI skylight itself is still solid, but the wooden curb it sits on has been soaking up Florida humidity and the occasional hurricane-driven rain for twenty years. The unit gets blamed; the curb is what failed. We rebuild the curb, re-flash the base, and the original skylight goes back into service.
- Failed seam sealant on standing-seam panels joined to CGI curbs and vents. CGI roof components rely on lap sealant that doesn’t love a decade of 95-degree afternoons followed by Gulf thunderstorms. We see gapping and crackling along the seams where metal meets curb. We strip, clean, and re-bed with a polyurethane sealant rated for coastal Florida, not whatever was in the original installer’s caulk gun.
- Flashing failures where CGI curbs meet shingle or tile decks. In developments along Daniels Parkway and Three Oaks, the base flashing at the bottom of CGI vent units and skylight curbs can be installed too flat for Fort Myers’s summer downpours. Water doesn’t weep properly; it ponds and works its way under the flashing. We rebuild the flashing with proper head-lap and kick-out details. It’s tedious work. It’s also the difference between a dry attic and a mold claim.
- Loose or corroded fasteners at CGI curb corners. We regularly find zinc-plated screws where stainless steel should have been used. After a few years of salt air and rain, the corners pull, the gasket unseats, and the leak starts at the exact spot the homeowner never checks. We refasten with 316 stainless and re-torque to spec. Small repair, big consequence when ignored.
- CGI vent pipe boots deteriorating before the vent itself. The rubber boot around a CGI plumbing vent breaks down in UV. The metal vent flashing is fine. The boot isn’t. We replace the boot and collar while leaving the CGI vent body intact. Homeowners routinely think they need a full vent replacement; most of the time they need a $35 boot and a skilled hand. That’s a phone call worth making before you sign a replacement contract.
Our CGI Roof Repair Process
Every CGI repair we do follows the same sequence, and we don’t skip steps. Here’s what happens when you call (239) 453-7751.
- 1
You call, a person answers. No voicemail tree, no call center. One of our folks hears what you’re seeing, asks about the age of the roof, the nearest leak point, and whether it’s active or historical.
- 2
We inspect the failing component, not just the wet spot. A Lehigh Acres attic stain has a cause. That cause is usually six feet away from where the water finally shows up. We trace back to the CGI curb, vent, skylight, or flashing that started it.
- 3
We give you a written price before we start. You’ll know whether we’re doing a small fastener repair, a flashing rebuild, or a full curb replacement, and what each line item costs. No surprises on the invoice. If a second contractor already quoted you, bring it. We do free second opinions on written estimates.
- 4
We use the right parts for a CGI job. OEM where it matters (gaskets, curb components, skylight retaining clips) and quality aftermarket where it’s functionally identical and more available, like sealants and stainless hardware. We’ll tell you which is which and why.
- 5
We water-test the repaired area. Before we come off the roof, we hose-test around the repair to confirm the leak is dead. If water still moves, we’re not done.
- 6
We leave you with a photo record and our word. You’ll have before, during, and after photos of the repair, plus the Winslow 36500-Day Done Right Promise backing it. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
What CGI Roof Repair Costs in Fort Myers
Pricing for CGI roof repair in Fort Myers depends on what failed and whether we’re repairing it or rebuilding around it. Here’s what we’ve charged on recent CGI jobs across Lee County.
- Vent boot replacement: $200-$400
- Seam and lap sealant stripping and re-bedding: $450-$900
- Flashing correction or replacement around a CGI curb: $600-$1,400
- Skylight curb rebuild with re-flash: $1,100-$1,900
- Fastener replacement with stainless hardware: $150-$350
The biggest price drivers are roof pitch, the condition of the surrounding decking, and whether we’re doing preventive work on multiple penetrations in one trip. A steep tile roof off Summerlin Road costs more in labor than a shallow shingle ranch off Winkler Avenue. We’ll quote you a fixed price and we’ll honor it. Call (239) 453-7751 for your exact number, and remember: $40 off any repair over $200, and a 10% discount for seniors and veterans, every job, every time.

FAQs
Performing a proper repair by an independent CGI service provider generally does not void a manufacturer warranty on the CGI product itself, provided the repair doesn’t involve modifying or replacing a covered component in a way that changes its function. The reality is that most CGI roof leaks we see in Fort Myers involve the installation (curbs, flashing, sealants) rather than the CGI product, and those areas were never covered by the factory warranty anyway. We’ll tell you plainly whether your leak falls to the installer or the manufacturer before you spend a dollar.
Most Fort Myers and Lee County CGI repairs are scheduled within a few days, and we make a point of getting to active leaks faster than non-leak work because water intrusion compounds while you wait. Call (239) 453-7751; a live person will answer any time and let you know the next available slot in your neighborhood.
If the glazing is intact, the frame is sound, and the issue is the curb or flashing under it, repair is almost always the better financial move. Replace when the unit has visible frame corrosion or a failed factory seal. We won’t sell you a new skylight when a rebuild is clearly the right call. That’s not how we do business.
Our structural repairs, like curb rebuilds and re-flashing, typically hold for fifteen years or more with normal Florida exposure. Sealant and boot work has a shorter service life, usually five to ten years, which is why we use coastal-rated products and tell you at the outset what to expect. We don’t hand out phantom lifetime promises. We hand you the truth and our name.
No. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, which includes Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Estero, and the surrounding Lee County communities. If you’re in our service county, the estimate visit is free. Call (239) 453-7751 to schedule yours.
