ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

We repair and replace ES Windows shingle, tile, and metal roofing throughout Fort Lauderdale, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Pricing runs honest and itemized, not the lowest in town and not padded either. ES Windows makes a serious coastal product, but their roofing components fail in specific ways here in South Florida, and knowing the difference saves homeowners real money. This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already own ES Windows products and need straight answers on repair versus replacement, parts availability, and what the work should cost.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Not every ES Windows line ages the same way. We see patterns across Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, from Sailboat Bend to Coral Ridge, and here are the ones that keep showing up.

• ES Windows ES-7000 Series: seal fatigue at the sill. The ES-7000 was a common mid-tier line installed in Fort Lauderdale during the early 2000s buildup. Its lower sill track traps salt air and condensation, and after ten to fifteen years the seal fails from the bottom up. Homeowners notice a persistent fog or a streak of moisture along the interior rubber. We replace the seal, reset the sash, and check that the shingle or tile roof flashing above is not funneling runoff directly onto the track.
• ES Windows ES-8000 Impact Series: gasket compression under coastal sand. The ES-8000 storm-rated units hold up well against wind, but the gaskets harden when fine sand from Fort Lauderdale beach air works into the channels. Once hardened, the gasket no longer compresses, and the window will not seat with full pressure against the frame. We pull the old gasket, vacuum the extrusion, and install an aftermarket gasket with a durometer rating matched to the original.
• ES Windows ES-5000: weep hole blockage. The ES-5000 line has narrow weep holes at the bottom of the frame that clog easily with roofing sediment and leaf debris, especially on homes with older shingle roofs that shed granules in summer rain. When the weep holes block, water pools inside the track and spills toward the interior wall. Nobody enjoys finding that. We clear the channels, flush the track, and in many cases slightly widen the factory weep opening so it drains correctly in Fort Lauderdale’s summer downpours.
• ES Windows premium picture units: false lead at the flashing seam. This one matters if your home has tile or metal roofing. ES Windows picture windows are heavy, and when the roof flashing above them was cut too short at the original install, water follows the seam behind the window header. The window itself is fine; the original flashing was not. We see this regularly in Fort Lauderdale’s older metal-roof homes. The fix starts with pulling the window casing to inspect, and most often we can correct the flashing without touching the window itself.
• ES Windows sliding door rollers: flat spots from roof truss movement. Fort Lauderdale homes settle, and clay-heavy sections of the city move roofs more than people expect. An ES Windows sliding door that has begun to drag on one side usually has flat spots on the lower roller wheels, caused by a frame that shifted with the roof truss years ago. We replace the rollers and, where the track is worn, install a stainless steel cap so the door does not chew through the next set.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Every ES Windows job follows the same sequence, whether it is a single window or a whole elevation.

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (954) 280-4413. A live person answers, asks what you are seeing, and schedules the visit. No callbacks from a phone tree.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures the opening, checks the glass, the frame, the flashing, and the surrounding shingle, tile, or metal roof edge. Measurements happen twice. Once in the truck, once at the opening. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We lay out the options on paper, side by side. OEM where the warranty requires it, quality aftermarket when it performs better for a lower cost. We tell you which and why.
4. 4
   The repair. Most jobs finish same visit. We take the window apart only as far as the problem requires, so we are not creating new problems on a Florida roof exposure.
5. 5
   Test and verification. We cycle the window, run water where relevant, confirm the roof flashing drains, and check for air movement. The pane gets tested for true plumb in the frame.
6. 6
   Warranty registration and cleanup. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, state the durations, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. You get the Done Right Promise on every job.
