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

We’re an independent ES Windows service provider in Fort Lauderdale, and we repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems on homes where these windows and doors are already installed. Most ES Windows roofing-related callbacks we handle take one visit, with the parts on the truck and the work backed by a 90-day promise. Job pricing sits in the mid-range of the South Florida market because we don’t bid low and surprise you later. If you own ES Windows products and your roof is causing leaks, flashing failures, or water intrusion around window and door openings, call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll send a background-checked technician who will tell you what’s actually wrong before quoting anything.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Dale Kessler grew up measuring rough openings and cutting glass in his father’s shop in Columbus, Ohio. That early training taught him something most roofing contractors miss: the intersection where roof meets window is where water finds its way in. Here’s what we see on ES Windows homes across Fort Lauderdale.

• ES Vinyl Series flange buckling under tile roofs. Barrel and flat tile roofs in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Victoria Park put serious weight on perimeter flashing. We’ve opened up roof-to-wall transitions where a nail flange on an ES Vinyl Series window had warped enough to let water track inside the wall cavity. The fix is removing the affected tile course, replacing the flange with a wider gauge, and re-setting the tile with proper overlap. You can’t caulk your way out of this one.
• ES Elite Series aluminum frames corroding at the sill from salt air. Homes within two miles of the Intracoastal or the Atlantic get salt mist that settles on horizontal surfaces. On ES Elite Series units, we regularly see pitting at the exterior sill where the roof runoff splashes back. It’s not a manufacturing defect. It’s a Fort Lauderdale climate reality. We clean, treat, and refit the affected frames and install a proper drip edge so the next rain doesn’t repeat the cycle.
• Failing roof-to-window Z-flashing on metal roof retrofits. When a homeowner replaces an asphalt shingle roof with standing seam metal, the existing window flashing often gets reused. That’s a mistake. The old Z-flashing profile doesn’t match the new metal panel profile, and we get called six months later for water stains on interior drywall at the window corners. We pull the bottom course of metal, fabricate new flashing to match the ES window’s flange depth, and reinstall correctly.
• Improperly set ES impact windows on shingle roofs with missing drip cap. We’ve seen Fort Lauderdale homes where impact windows were installed without a drip cap at the head. On shingle roofs, the first heavy summer rain finds that gap and runs water behind the top flange. The window is fine. The installation wasn’t. We add the drip cap, lap it under the shingle course above, and seal the transition so it sheds water the way it should.
• Sun-brittled ES window seals around roof penetrations. Fort Lauderdale’s UV exposure is relentless. On older ES units, especially those facing south, the perimeter seal at roof-to-wall points can dry, crack, and lose adhesion. The result is air and occasional water intrusion at the corners. We remove the old seal, re-bond with a commercial-grade adhesive rated for coastal use, and retest the opening before we call the job done.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s how a typical ES Windows roofing-related call goes with us, from first call to final walkthrough.

1. 1
   We talk on the phone and listen. A live person answers at (754) 310-3589. You describe what you’re seeing: water stains, sticking window, a gap at the roof line. We ask about the age of the roof and the windows so we know what we’re walking into.
2. 2
   We inspect the opening and the roofline together. Our technician checks the ES window or door, then gets eyes on the flashing, the tile or shingle course above, and the wall cavity if accessible. Dale reads the existing framing before quoting anything. That habit keeps our callbacks rare.
3. 3
   We decide on parts before we touch anything. Where ES Windows OEM parts are available and warranted, we use them. Where an aftermarket component does the same job with a better coastal rating, we show you both options on paper so you choose with clear information.
4. 4
   We do the work in one trip when possible. The repair or replacement happens on-site, with the roofing and window work coordinated so one crew handles both. No second appointment left hanging.
5. 5
   We test the opening. Water test, air test, and a careful visual inspection of the roof-to-wall transition. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   We register the warranties in writing. Both manufacturer warranty layers on the window or door and our 90-Day Done Right Promise go on paper before we leave the driveway. No fine print that covers neither.
