How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS asphalt shingle granule loss on hip ridges. We see this most on CWS architectural shingle installations where the ridge cap was nailed too shallow or the ridge vent sits proud. By year eight or nine, the cap shingles have lost their granule layer and the fiberglass mat starts showing along the hip line. We strip the ridge caps, inspect the decking beneath, and re-cap with proper ridge material rated for the CWS profile, sealing each course to match the original wind uplift rating.
• CWS concrete tile spalling on north-facing slopes. Fort Lauderdale’s shade and humidity hold moisture longer on north roof faces than homeowners expect. CWS concrete tiles on those slopes develop surface spalling, where the tile face flakes and roughens. That is not a manufacturing defect. It is what concrete does when it sits wet in shade. We replace spalled tiles with matching profile units and check the underlayment while the tile is off, because that is where the real damage hides.
• CWS standing seam metal panel oil canning. Oil canning, that wavy distortion in flat metal panels, is common on CWS standing seam roofs, particularly on long Fort Lauderdale runs with direct afternoon sun. The metal expands and the panel face flexes. It rarely leaks, but it bothers owners who were promised a flat roof. We can back-replace individual panels and adjust clip spacing to reduce the wave. We will also tell you honestly which cases are cosmetic and not worth the money.
• CWS tile-to-wall flashing separation. On tile roofs, the two-piece flashing where the roof meets a stucco wall is the weak link. CWS tile installations in Fort Lauderdale regularly show separation at this joint within a decade because the stucco moves with heat and the metal flashing does not. Water gets behind the flashing and runs down the underlayment before you see a ceiling stain. We install a reglet-cut flashing with proper counter-flashing and a sealant that holds through hurricane-season expansion.
• CWS metal roof fastener backout on exposed-fastener panels. Exposed-fastener CWS metal roofs use screws with neoprene washers. South Florida’s heat and humidity cook those washers, they crack, and the screws back out a turn or two. We see this most on older CWS agricultural-style panels still in use on Fort Lauderdale outbuildings and carports. We replace the fasteners with new washered screws, checking that the panel has not worn its hole oversized, and we re-seat every screw along the affected run.

Our CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   Walk-and-read. We start on the roof, not at a desk. Dale Kessler or a senior lead walks the whole surface, looks at the existing framing and sheathing, and notes where water is getting in, where it is going, and what is holding it back. We will not quote a CWS job without reading the structure first.
2. 2
   Written scope and parts decision. We give you a line-item written quote. Where a CWS material is available and warranty-safe, we use it. Where aftermarket is genuinely equal or better for the application, we say so and price it lower. You see both options on paper.
3. 3
   Surface prep before any panel or tile comes off. We stage the replacement material, protect the area below the roof line, and only open what we can close the same day. Fort Lauderdale rain does not wait for a tarp to get found.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement itself. Whether it is re-capping a ridge, replacing spalled tile, re-flashing a wall joint, or pulling a section of metal panels, the crew works clean and checks the decking and underlayment every time we expose it.
5. 5
   Water test and visual walk. We run a hose test on every repair before we come down. Then we walk the perimeter with you, show you what we did and why, and make sure the roof sheds water the way it should.
6. 6
   Paperwork and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. You get a written summary of the work, the materials used, and the 90-day workmanship guarantee. If something is not right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fight. No fine print.
