AfterES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows roof replacement and installation across Palm Beach, with most full replacements completed in three to five working days once materials land. The honest price posture is this: an ES Windows roof job in Palm Beach typically runs $14,800 to $32,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and underlayment condition, and you’ll get a written line-item quote before we touch a single tile. No vague allowances, no change-order surprises after demolition starts.
This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who already live with ES Windows products, already know the difference impact-rated glazing makes on a barrier island, and now need a roof that can stand next to those windows without leaking into them. If that’s you, call (561) 782-7525 and ask for a free roof estimate. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Roof-to-wall flashing failures around ES Windows ES-Lite fixed-glass installations. The ES-Lite series is popular in Palm Beach mid-century homes where big fixed panes sit close under low roof overhangs. What we see repeatedly: original flashing was never stepped correctly, so wind-driven rain from summer squalls gets behind the frame and tracks down the interior wall. The fix is pulling the roof edge, installing proper step flashing with a minimum 4-inch lap, and resealing the frame with a marine-grade sealant rated for coastal exposure. We’ve fixed enough of these to know the failure before we climb the ladder.
- Cracked IGUs (insulated glass units) from roof runoff pounding the lower sash. ES Windows impact-rated double-hung units hold up to wind, but when a clogged gutter or missing drip edge sends roof water straight down the glass in sheets, thermal stress and constant water pressure eventually crack the seal or the pane itself. We fix the roof drainage first, then replace the IGU with a like-for-like ES Windows unit. Skip the roof part and you’ll be replacing that glass again in two years.
- Frame rot at the header where ES Windows Series 9000 sliders meet a failing roof eave. In older Palm Beach homes, the Series 9000 sliding glass door often sits under a cantilevered eave that’s been slowly leaking for years. The aluminum frame is built like a tank, but the wood rough opening behind it rots. We remove the damaged structural framing, install new pressure-treated lumber, reflash the eave, and reset the slider. The window was fine. The roof above it was the problem all along.
- Mullion and transom leaks where ES Windows radius and geometric units tie into roof valleys. Radius top and geometric windows are a Palm Beach signature, and ES Windows makes some of the best. But every valley that dumps water onto a radius transom needs a cricket or diverter. Without one, water pools against the upper frame, wicks into the mullion joint, and shows up inside as a slow drip. We build the diverter, reseal the mullion, and the leak stops. Simple, but you need a roofer who thinks like a glazier.
- Condensation between panes caused by lost argon gas after a roof leak soaked the sill and frame. When a roof leak drips into an ES Windows frame over months, the frame drains (eventually), but the IGU’s edge seal degrades. Argon escapes, inert air enters, and condensation starts on the inside of the glass. Most companies will just replace the glass. We’ll fix the roof, inspect the frame slope, and replace the IGU only after the moisture source is gone. Otherwise you’re buying a second glass unit next spring.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s what a ES Windows roof replacement looks like when you call Winslow Windows & Doors in Palm Beach:
- 1
The call. A real person answers at (561) 782-7525, day or night. You tell us what you’re seeing. We schedule a free estimate at a time that works for you.
- 2
The inspection. We walk the roof, inspect the condition of every window and door penetration, and check for the Palm Beach-specific failure points: salt-corroded flashing, blocked scuppers, valley pitch, and underlayment age. We document everything with photos you can see.
- 3
The written plan. You get a line-item proposal with material choices, a defined scope, and a fixed price. If we find an OEM ES Windows part that genuinely matters to the job, we use it. If a quality aftermarket component does the same job at half the cost, we tell you that too. You decide with full information.
- 4
The work. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on the scheduled day. We protect your windows with padded covers during tear-off, run magnetic sweepers for nails, and keep the site clean every day before we leave.
- 5
The test. After installation, we run water tests on every flashing point and every window-to-roof junction. We open and close every ES Windows unit that sits near the roof work to verify operation wasn’t affected.
- 6
The guarantee. Every job carries our Done Right Promise. If it isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. Period. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job.
What ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Here are realistic ranges for common ES Windows roof scenarios in Palm Beach, based on what we’ve quoted and completed over the years:
- Full roof replacement (modest ranch, ~2,000 sq ft) with architectural shingles: $14,800 - $18,500
- Full roof replacement (two-story, ~3,400 sq ft) with architectural shingles: $22,000 - $28,000
- Tile roof replacement (barrel tile, ~2,800 sq ft): $28,000 - $36,000
- Roof-section repair around an ES Windows window or door penetration (flashing, underlayment, limited decking): $1,200 - $3,800
- Standing-seam metal roof installation (~2,500 sq ft): $30,000 - $42,000
What moves the price in Palm Beach specifically: roof pitch (steep tile roofs on 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes cost more to work on safely), decking condition (salt air and humidity rot sheathing faster than inland), and how many window and door penetrations need custom flashing. Every ES Windows opening is a potential leak point, and on some Palm Beach homes that means 15 or 20 custom flashing jobs in one roof. That’s math we show you line by line before you sign anything.

We carry the full ES Windows lineup for replacements and repairs, and we also install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. If a ES Windows part is backordered and you need a window up before August, we’ll show you a PGT or CGI unit that meets or exceeds the original spec, with a straight price and no pressure.

FAQs
No, a properly executed roof replacement will not void the ES Windows manufacturer’s warranty on the windows themselves. What voids a warranty is damage caused by improper installation or removal. If a roofer pries a window frame, bends the flange, or breaks the seal during roof work, ES Windows will point at the roofer, not the glass. We handle every window-to-roof junction with padded protection and careful flashing removal, and we document the condition of every ES Windows unit before and after the roof goes on. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk you through what to look for before anyone touches your roof.
In most cases we can replace just the affected section around an ES Windows opening, especially if the roof decking is intact and the shingles or tiles are still in serviceable condition. Partial replacements are common around failed flashing, valley leaks, or a single rotted eave. The honest catch: matching old roofing material is difficult, and in some Palm Beach homes the surrounding roof is compromised enough that a patch today becomes a leak two years from now. We’ll show you the condition on photos and give you a straight recommendation. Estimates are free at (561) 782-7525.
Most full roof replacements on Palm Beach homes with extensive ES Windows glazing take three to five working days once materials are delivered. Homes with steep tile roofs, complex valleys, or a large number of window and door penetrations can run longer because every flashing point must be custom-fabricated and tested. We stage the job so your windows are protected before tear-off begins, and we keep the site clean every day. When we give you a schedule, that’s the schedule. Call (561) 782-7525 for a timeline specific to your roof.
We use OEM ES Windows parts when the situation calls for it, like replacement IGUs that must match the original glass pack exactly. For components like flashing, sealant, and drainage products, we use commercial-grade materials rated for coastal Florida, and we choose them for performance, not brand loyalty. If an OEM part carries a meaningful warranty advantage over a quality aftermarket equivalent, we’ll tell you and let you decide. We’d rather hand you a real number than a comfortable estimate. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate.
It covers the workmanship we perform, for as long as it’s our name on the job. If our flashing leaks, our underlayment fails, or our installation wasn’t done right, we come back and fix it.
