CGI Fence Installation Nationwide

CGI Fence Installation: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide

CGI fence installation in Pompano Beach typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a complete vinyl system, with most residential jobs falling between 150 and 250 linear feet. We stock CGI-compatible posts, rails, and pickets on our trucks, and we can usually measure and quote same-day if you call before noon. Most Pompano Beach homeowners realize their CGI fence needs attention when sections start leaning after a tropical storm, gates sag and won’t latch, or they notice chalking and surface cracking from the salt air.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI, or Continental Fence Industries, produces vinyl fencing under several series names that you’ll find across Broward County installations. The most common in Pompano Beach are the Estate series (heavy-wall residential), the Pro series (commercial-grade with reinforced bottom rails), and the older Classic line that used a thinner wall thickness before 2012. Check the inside of your post caps or the underside of your bottom rail for an embossed “CGI” stamp and a date code, two digits for the month and two for the year. If your fence was installed before 2012, the Classic series used 0.050-inch wall thickness rather than the current 0.065-inch standard, which matters because replacement rails from newer stock won’t seat properly in your older posts. We carry both wall thicknesses and the transition sleeves to bridge them. For posts, CGI switched from external brackets to internal routing around 2015, so a 2014 Estate fence and a 2016 Estate fence need different rail ends despite sharing the same series name. We source OEM CGI components direct from their Fort Lauderdale distribution center, and we also stock quality aftermarket equivalents from DuraRail for faster turnaround when CGI backorders their tan and clay colors, which they do regularly during spring storm season.

Signs Your CGI Fence Installation Is Failing

• Post leaning or wobbling at the base. In Pompano Beach, this usually means the concrete footing has cracked from ground movement or the post itself has hollowed at the bottom from water intrusion where the cap seal failed. The soil here shifts more than people expect, especially in the sandy neighborhoods east of Dixie Highway.
• Bottom rail sagging or pulling out of the post. CGI’s internal routing system depends on a snug fit; once the rail end warps from heat cycling, it loses grip. South Florida’s UV exposure accelerates this, and a sagging rail will eventually dump pickets into your yard.
• Gate won’t latch or drags on the ground. The aluminum gate frame inside the vinyl sleeve has likely corroded at the hinge mount, a common failure within eight to ten years near the coast. The vinyl sleeve looks fine while the metal inside turns to powder.
• Surface chalking that won’t wash off. This is TiO2 degradation from UV exposure, not dirt. Once the titanium dioxide wash coat is gone, the vinyl beneath becomes brittle and will crack within two more years of sun exposure.
• Picket cracking at the rail notch. CGI pickets slot into the rail through a routed notch; stress concentrates there, and after enough thermal expansion cycles, the notch splits. We see this most on west-facing fence runs that take afternoon sun.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

The range depends on three factors: how many posts need resetting in new concrete, whether we’re matching discontinued colors, and access for our auger in tight Pompano Beach lots. Every quote is a flat written price with line-item breakdown, per Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation, and we register your CGI warranty for materials coverage against manufacturing defects. No change to the scope happens without a signed change order, which is the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed number since 2007.

DIY or Call Us?

There’s honest work a homeowner can do and honest work that goes sideways fast. You can check your post caps for cracks, verify your gate hinges are tight to the frame, and confirm whether a rail has actually pulled out or just looks crooked. What you shouldn’t do: reset a post in concrete without knowing the frost line doesn’t apply here but the water table does, meaning shallow footings heave in our wet season; or attempt to route a replacement rail into a post without the proper notch tool, which splits the vinyl 80 percent of the time by our count. We carry the routing jig, the 6-foot level, and the 80-pound bags of concrete rated for saturated soil. Under Clause 1, we put the number in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
