AfterCGI Roof Replacement & Installation in Naples: What to Know First
CGI roof replacement and installation in Naples typically runs $900 to $2,600 depending on the product line, the condition of the existing opening, and whether you need a full frame-out or a direct size-for-size swap. We complete most CGI roof jobs in one visit, and we quote every job on paper before the work begins so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call (239) 326-9942 for a free estimate, and we will measure the opening ourselves.
This page is written for homeowners who already own CGI products or have CGI specified on a new roof replacement, and who want a contractor that understands this manufacturer’s lines well enough to fix what fails and install what lasts. We are an independent CGI service provider, not a factory branch, which means we answer to you rather than to a corporate warranty department.
If you are in Naples and your CGI roof component has started to leak around the curb, bind against the flashing, or show condensation between the panes, you are in the right place. We have worked on CGI products throughout Collier County for years, and we quote the work the way we would want it quoted at our own houses.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI manufactures impact-rated windows and doors, which means the glass is built to take a hurricane. What fails first on a roof installation in Naples is rarely the glass itself. It is the seal, the curb, the flashing detail, or the hardware that connects the unit to the roof structure. Here is what we actually see, by line.
- CGI Sentinel Series roof windows: seal fatigue at the curb joint. The Sentinel line is a common spec on Naples flat-roof additions and patio overhangs. After five to eight years of salt air and afternoon thunderstorms, the butyl seal between the curb and the roof membrane can pull away. The window itself is still fine. We remove the unit, clean the curb to bare substrate, re-set it with fresh sealant rated for coastal exposure, and re-flash the perimeter. The fix is a re-installation, not a replacement, and it costs a fraction of a new unit.
- CGI Estate Collection skylights: internal gasket shrinkage. The Estate line uses a compression gasket around the operable sash. In Naples heat, that gasket can shrink and harden, which lets humid air into the glazing pocket and triggers the condensation between the panes that owners notice first as a fogged corner. We replace the gasket with the OEM part when it is available, or a matched aftermarket compound with the same durometer. If the glazing pocket has already started to cloud the glass, we tell you straight: the sash needs replacement, because polishing a failed dual-seal unit never holds.
- CGI Targa Series roof screens and vents: hinge and latch corrosion. The Targa line gets specified for covered lanais and pool enclosures with roof vents. The stainless hardware on coastal installations can still develop crevice corrosion where the screw threads meet the aluminum frame, especially within a half mile of the water. We see it every season. We replace the hinges and latches with marine-grade fasteners and apply an anti-seize compound before re-seating, which is a detail the factory install manual does not mention but the Naples climate punishes you for skipping.
- CGI Magnum Series sliding roof panels: track misalignment from roof settlement. On older Naples homes with flat concrete roofs, the roof slab moves a few millimeters over the years. A Magnum slider that has been in place a decade can start to bind because the track is no longer level with the curb. We re-shim the curb, re-true the track, and re-hang the panel. If the panel itself has torqued, we replace the unit and adjust the opening rather than forcing a new panel into an out-of-true hole.
- CGI Custom Architectural Series: flashing failure at the transition. When a custom CGI unit marries a roof line, the weak point is always the transition between the manufacturer’s aluminum frame and the roofer’s membrane. On Naples barrel-tile roofs this detail gets done wrong more often than anywhere else we work. We pull the tile back at the perimeter, install new step flashing, and re-bed the tile. The unit was probably installed fine. The flashing above it was not.
Our CGI Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and a live person answers. We schedule a measurement visit. You will not leave a voicemail or wait for a callback from a central office. Dale Kessler and the team run a 24/7 phone line because when a roof window starts leaking into a kitchen, waiting until Monday is not acceptable.
- 2
We measure the opening, not just the existing unit. We measure the rough opening twice and inspect the curb, the flashing, and the roof structure around it. The old unit’s measurements are a starting point, not the spec for the new one.
- 3
You get a written quote with line items. We quote CGI lines side by side with comparable PGT, CWS, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems when a cross-brand option serves you better. You see the part number, the labor, the flashing work, and the haul-away, all on paper.
- 4
Parts decision, made together. For repair work, we tell you when we are using the OEM CGI part and when a quality aftermarket component is the better value. If an OEM warranty is still in effect, we follow the manufacturer’s replacement path so your coverage stays intact.
- 5
The work, done in one visit when the job allows. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the materials already pulled. We protect the work area, make the swap or repair, re-flash, and clean the site the same day.
- 6
The test and the paperwork. We run the unit through its full travel, check the drainage paths with a water test when the install requires it, and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. If it is not right when we leave, we come back until it is.

What moves the price: curb condition, roof type (flat membrane is faster than barrel tile), floor height and access, and whether the opening needs structural adjustment. We do not add change orders in the middle of a job. The quote you approve is the price. Call (239) 326-9942 and we will measure the opening and put a number on it for free.
Why Naples Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
Most of our Naples customers have lived in their homes for twenty years or more and do not want to gamble on a contractor who will not be around next hurricane season. We have been serving local communities for over 42 years, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 around a rule his father kept pinned in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Every CGI job we touch is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not right after we leave, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, which is what The Keystone Standard means in practice. And because we are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we can put a real side-by-side quote in your hand if another product line serves your roof condition better. We are not wedded to one brand. We are wedded to doing the job right.
FAQs
Generally no, as long as the replacement work is done by a qualified contractor using the manufacturer’s specified installation method and the appropriate parts. We follow CGI’s replacement path for in-warranty products so your coverage stays intact, and we register the warranty layers in writing when the job is done. Call (239) 326-9942 and we will check your specific unit’s warranty status before we touch anything.
Most standard CGI roof window and skylight parts arrive in Naples within 3 to 10 business days. If your unit needs an emergency watertight seal and the part is backordered, we can install a temporary curb seal to stop water intrusion until the permanent component arrives. Call us at (239) 326-9942 and we will give you a straight answer on your specific model’s lead time.
If the frame, curb, and glazing are still sound, a repair is usually the less expensive and fully effective choice. Once the glazing has fogged between the panes or the frame has corroded through, replacement is the honest recommendation because a repair will not last in Naples humidity. We will tell you which path makes sense for your unit, not write you the more expensive ticket because it is easier for us.
Yes. We do CGI roof replacement and installation on flat membrane roofs, concrete slabs, and barrel-tile roofs throughout Naples. The flashing and curb work changes with each roof type, and we bring the correct profile for your roof rather than forcing a standard curb into a roof it does not match.
If the CGI roof work we performed is not right, we come back and fix it at no charge within 90 days of completion. No fine print, no arguing about who caused what. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, in writing. Call (239) 326-9942 to schedule your free estimate, and you will see the standard in the quote before you ever sign anything.
