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

We provide independent ES Windows shingle, tile, and metal roofing services throughout Fort Lauderdale, typically completing most repairs in a single visit and full replacements within one to three weeks depending on material availability and the size of the roof. Most ES Windows owners pay between $450 and $1,600 for leak repairs, and $14,000 to $38,000 for a full replacement, with tile and metal running higher than shingle. This page is for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who own ES Windows products and need a roofer who actually understands how those systems work together, not one who treats your roof like an isolated patch job. Call (904) 913-5886 and you’ll get a live person, day or night, no phone tree.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows makes a tight impact-rated window and door system, but Fort Lauderdale’s combination of salt air, pounding sun, and hurricane-season water loading exposes failure points that don’t show up in the manufacturer’s brochure. Here’s what we see on actual houses down here:

• ES Windows Series 400 and 500 mullion-to-roof flashing separation. The vertical mullions where multiple ES Windows panels join are designed for wind load, but Fort Lauderdale’s intense summer thermal cycling causes the flashing and sealant at the roof transition to shrink and pull away. Water follows the mullion channel straight down into the wall cavity. We see this repeatedly in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Victoria Park. Our fix is a full flashing rebuild around the mullion tops with UV-stable sealant, not a quick bead over cracked material.
• ES Windows Series 900 top-hung impact sliders with failing upper track seals. These are popular along the waterfront, where salt mist accelerates gasket degradation. Once the upper track seal hardens and splits, wind-driven rain from Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon storms gets pushed past the track and onto the tile roof decking below. The symptom is water staining on the ceiling directly under the slider, which homeowners often misdiagnose as a roof leak. We replace the track seal with marine-grade gasket and verify roof drainage under the slider sill.
• ES Windows fixed-panel perimeter leaks mistaken for shingle or tile failure. Fixed impact panels get caulked at the flange during install. After five or six years of Fort Lauderdale heat and hurricane-season flex, that perimeter caulk cracks and water rides the flange into the sheathing, soaking the valley where the roof meets the wall. We frequently get calls for “roof leaks” in Coral Ridge that are actually ES Windows perimeter failures. We strip, reseal, and reflash the perimeter, then confirm the shingle or tile lap is still doing its job.
• ES Windows multi-stack sliding doors with lower sill drainage clogs. The Series 700 multi-stack units have narrow weep channels that collect sand, salt crust, and roofing debris. When those channels clog, water backs up and runs under the sill to the roof underlayment. On metal roofs especially, this trapped moisture accelerates panel edges corroding from underneath. We clear the weeps, test drainage, and add secondary sill flashing so the next clog doesn’t become a roof repair.
• ES Windows hurricane-rated entry doors with warped frames due to roof drainage concentrated at the entry. This is the most expensive one. When a Fort Lauderdale roof has a valley or scupper that dumps water directly at the front entry (we see this constantly on older Las Olas bungalows), the volume overwhelms the door flashing, warps the ES Windows frame, and eventually destroys substrate. The roof isn’t leaking; it’s draining too aggressively into one spot. Our fix addresses both sides: redirecting roof drainage with proper scupper design and rebuilding the door flashing, so you’re not paying for the same door twice.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Ed Winslow has spent the better part of two decades measuring, fitting, and standing behind window and door installs, including plenty of jobs along Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas corridor where salt air and hard Atlantic storms separate quality work from everything else. The process reflects that: no shortcuts, no guesswork, and every step written down before we start.

1. 1
   The call. You reach a live person at (904) 913-5886. We ask what you’re seeing, where the water is, and when it started. We schedule a visit that works for you.
2. 2
   The diagnostic walk. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives and does a full inspection of the roof and the ES Windows interface points, not just the spot you pointed at. Most leaks that look like roofing are actually flashing or seal failures at windows and doors. We find the actual source before quoting anything.
3. 3
   The parts decision. ES Windows components like track seals, gaskets, and mullions are available from the original manufacturer, but some aftermarket marine-grade materials outlast the OEM pieces in Fort Lauderdale’s salt air. We quote you both options when it matters, with our honest recommendation. We never use a part that voids your existing warranty.
4. 4
   The written line-item estimate. You get a fixed-price, line-by-line quote before work begins. No vague “roof repair” line. No change orders halfway through unless you ask for a change. You know exactly what you’re paying and why.
5. 5
   The repair and the test. We complete the work, then water-test the repair where practical. If we’re doing a full shingle, tile, or metal replacement, we walk the entire interface between roof and ES Windows openings to confirm the laps and flashing are correct. We don’t call it done until it’s dry.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a warranty card you file in a drawer. That’s Ed’s word, and Ed’s name is on the door - literally. That means it gets done right.

What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Here are honest ranges for what we bill in Broward County, based on real jobs we’ve completed:

• Flashing replacement around one ES Windows mullion or fixed panel: $280-$650 per window or door, depending on access and how much substrate has rotted.
• Track seal and gasket replacement on ES Windows sliders (including sill drainage restoration): $180-$420 per unit.
• Targeted shingle repair tied to an ES Windows leak: $450-$950 for flashing, underlayment patch, and shingle rework at the affected roof-to-wall transition.
• Full shingle roof replacement with ES Windows interface flashing on all openings: $14,000-$24,000 for a typical single-family Fort Lauderdale home, with architectural shingles.
• Tile roof replacement (flat or barrel concrete tile): $22,000-$38,000, including new mullion and perimeter flashing at every ES Windows opening and new underlayment to current code.
• Metal roof replacement (standing seam or 5-V panel): $24,000-$38,000, with custom flashing at all ES Windows interfaces, which is where metal roof jobs get tricky when done wrong.

What moves the price: the number of ES Windows openings tied into the roof, whether the existing substrate is intact, your roof’s pitch and access, and whether you need code-required upgrades on the underlayment. Every estimate is line-itemed and fixed. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll give you an exact number for your roof, not a range from a website.
