How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows are built for South Florida, but the roof system around them takes a beating from salt air, hurricane season, and relentless sun. We see the same failure points repeat across Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, and we fix them properly rather than patching the symptom.
- Leaks at the head flashing where the roofline meets the window opening. On homes with the ES Windows 100 Series (a workhorse impact line in Fort Lauderdale), we regularly find that the original roofer lapped the head flashing wrong or skipped it entirely. The result is water running behind the stucco and down into the frame. We strip the affected area, install a proper stepped flashing with a drip edge, and re-seal with high-grade polyurethane, not caulk that hardens and cracks in eighteen months.
- Salt corrosion around aluminum frames on the ES Windows 800 Series (formerly the 200 Series). The 800 Series uses substantial aluminum extrusions, but Fort Lauderdale’s salt spray accelerates pitting where fasteners and flashing meet the frame. Corroded fasteners lose pull-out strength, which means the window shifts and the roof plane moves with it. We replace fasteners with marine-grade stainless, treat the aluminum, and reset the flashing correctly.
- Water intrusion at the sill pan on the ES Windows 700 Series impact sliding glass door. This is a wide-opening product, and when the roof replacement didn’t account for door-width drainage, water pools at the sill and rots the subfloor beneath the threshold. We remove the door, install a proper sill pan with back dam, and rebuild the rough opening before the roof work proceeds.
- Compromised wood bucks (rough opening frames) behind ES Windows 500 Series casements on older Fort Lauderdale homes near Las Olas Boulevard. The window itself is tough, but the wood around it has decades of exposure. Once the roof is being replaced, that’s the time to address the bucks, because you can get to them from above and below. We rebuild with pressure-treated lumber and flash them correctly, then hang the same window back.
- Improperly sealed roof-to-wall transitions on homes where ES Windows 300 Series (the single-hung line) were retrofitted after the original roof. When a homeowner puts impact windows into an older Fort Lauderdale house and keeps the existing roof, the connection point between the new window head and the old roof needs reworked flashing. We re-cut and re-lap that connection during the roof replacement so the whole plane drains as one system, not two materials fighting each other.
Every one of these is fixable, but only if the crew working on the roof knows where ES Windows products leak first. Ours does.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
We inspect the whole roof plane and every window-to-wall connection. We’re looking at the roof, the flashing, the stucco, and the window frames together. Ed Winslow learned building construction technology at Miami Dade College and spent years working rough openings and weatherproofing, so nothing gets missed.
- 2
We give you a written, line-item quote. No allowances, no “we’ll see what we find” asterisks. The price we quote is the price you pay, and you get a free second opinion on any other written estimate you bring us.
- 3
We make the parts decision with you. For ES Windows work, we use OEM parts where warranty preservation matters, and name-brand aftermarket parts where they perform as well or better for less money. We’ll explain the difference in plain English and let you decide.
- 4
Tear-off, deck inspection, and replacement. We pull the old roof, inspect the deck, replace any compromised wood, and install the new roof system with proper underlayment and flashing at every penetration and wall transition.
- 5
We re-flash, re-seal, and re-set every ES Windows opening that was touched. This is the part most roofers skip. We treat each window and door as part of the roof system, not an obstacle to work around.
- 6
We test it, walk it with you, and back it. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies to every roof job we do. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Period.
What ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $8.50 to $14.00 per square foot for architectural shingle, $12.00 to $18.00 per square foot for standing seam metal, and $14.00 to $22.00 per square foot for tile. A typical 1,800-square-foot single-story home with ES Windows and a shingle roof lands between $15,000 and $25,000. Add re-flashing work around ES Windows openings and the cost shifts up $800 to $2,000 depending on how many windows and doors are involved.
What moves the price: the number of ES Windows openings being re-flashed, the condition of the wood bucks, the roofing material, and whether the home is in a high-wind zone requiring upgraded fastening. We give you the exact number in writing before you commit. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate.
