How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS roofs are built for Florida weather, but no roof gets a free pass from Fort Lauderdale’s combination of salt air, UV exposure, and sudden afternoon downpours. Here’s what we see most often on CWS roofs in this area, and what we do about it.

• CWS shingle roofs: granule loss and seal strip failure. On CWS architectural shingle lines, we regularly see granule loss along the south and west exposures where Fort Lauderdale sun beats hardest. Granules aren’t cosmetic, they protect the asphalt from UV breakdown. When they go, the shingle base dries out and cracks, and the seal strip that bonds the shingle to the course below lets go. We repair this by replacing the affected shingles and re-sealing adjacent courses, not by slapping tar over the problem and hoping.
• CWS tile roofs: broken and slipped tiles at ridge and hip lines. Barrel tiles on CWS tile systems take a beating at the ridge and hip lines, where wind from summer storms gets under the edge and works things loose. A slipped tile isn’t just a leak risk; it exposes the underlayment, and once that goes, you’ve got water running sideways into places you can’t see. We reset or replace the tiles, check the underlayment, and re-point as needed so the next storm doesn’t find an easy way in.
• CWS metal roofs: fastener backout and panel oil-canning. Metal panels expand and contract with every temperature swing, and in Fort Lauderdale that happens daily. Over time, fasteners back out, especially on older CWS metal installations where the original screw pattern didn’t account for the thermal movement. You’ll hear it as a popping sound on hot afternoons, and eventually you’ll see water stains at the fastener point. We replace the fasteners with properly seated ones, touch up the panel coating, and correct any oil-canning that’s gotten past cosmetic.
• Flashing failures at penetrations and transitions. This shows up across all three CWS roof types. Where the roof meets a chimney, skylight, vent pipe, or wall, the flashing takes the most abuse, and Fort Lauderdale’s wind-driven rain finds every gap. CWS flashing is generally well-made, but the sealants that hold it in place break down faster here than the manufacturer’s general guidance suggests. We strip the old sealant, inspect the flashing itself, replace it if it’s compromised, and re-seal with a product rated for marine exposure.
• Underlayment deterioration on older CWS roofs. If your CWS roof is over 15 years old and you’re seeing leaks without obvious visible damage, the underlayment is usually the culprit. Tile and metal roofs can look fine on the surface while the layer underneath quietly fails. This is the one we tell people not to ignore, because by the time you see water on the ceiling, the decking underneath may already be damaged. We can inspect, locate the exact entry point, and repair or replace the affected section before it spreads.
