Key Takeaways
- We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated, which means we make repair decisions based on what’s best for your home, not a corporate script.
- Palm Beach salt air, afternoon storms, and draining issues around roof penetrations are the big three causes of ES Windows roof-related failures we see.
- We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing that ties into ES Windows frames with proper flashing, sealant, and drainage so water stays outside where it belongs.
- Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, period.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows are built well, but they’re not magic. The roof around them takes a beating in Palm Beach, and we’ve seen the same failure patterns enough times to know exactly what to look for. Here are the five most common ones we fix on shingle, tile, and metal roof jobs.
- Flashing separation at the window head on ES Windows Series 3000 units. The factory flashing works fine when installed perfectly, but Palm Beach’s afternoon downpours and wind-driven rain can work water behind the flashing over time. The telltale sign is water staining on the interior wall directly below the window after heavy rain, not the window itself leaking. We pull the old flashing, inspect the rough opening, and re-flash with a two-stage system that drains water back out over the shingle or tile instead of trapping it inside.
- Roof-to-window transition leaks on tile roofs with ES Windows fixed picture windows. Tile roofs shed water fast, and when the tile-to-window transition isn’t stepped properly, water sheets over the window frame and finds the smallest gap. This one shows up as efflorescence, that white chalky residue, on the window frame corners. We re-cut the tile transition, install a copper or aluminum step flashing, and seal with a polyurethane that stays flexible through Palm Beach’s heat and humidity cycles.
- Metal roof oil canning and sealant failure around ES Windows casement windows near the roofline. Metal roof panels expand and contract a lot in direct Palm Beach sun. If the sealant joints at window penetrations are rigid, they crack. You’ll see little spider cracks in the sealant and hear popping sounds from the roof on hot afternoons. We use a high-movement sealant rated for metal roof applications and re-secure the panel edge so the window isn’t fighting the roof’s natural movement.
- Clogged weepholes on ES Windows sliding doors at patio roof transitions. This one’s sneaky because the leak doesn’t show up at the door. Water backs up behind the track, rots the subfloor and the shingle edge, then migrates inside. In Palm Beach, pollen, sand, and wind-blown debris gum up weepholes fast. We clear the drainage path, check the shingle overhang at the door, and often add a small diverter so water doesn’t pond at the track.
- Improper shingle step at ES Windows low-profile fixed windows on mansard roofs. Mansard roofs are steep, and when shingle installers cut corners on the step flashing below these windows, wind-driven rain walks right up under the shingle course. The symptom is a wet sill from below, not from above. We strip back the affected courses, re-step the flashing at the correct angle, and re-shingle with proper overlap so water always hits flashing, never the seam.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Here’s exactly how a ES Windows roofing job goes with us, from the first call to the final walkthrough.

You call (561) 782-7525. A live person answers. You describe the leak, the rust, the lifted shingle, whatever you’re seeing. Ed Winslow or one of our senior techs asks specific questions about your ES Windows units so we know what we’re rolling up to.

We inspect the roof and window interface. We don’t just look at the leak. We walk the roof, check the flashings, check the drainage, check the sealant joints at every ES Windows penetration. You get a written diagnosis with photos and plain-English explanation.
- 3
We price it line by line. OEM parts where they matter for warranty and fit. Quality aftermarket sealants, flashings, and fasteners where they perform as well or better. You’ll see exactly what each line item costs before we touch anything.

We do the work. Shingle, tile, or metal, the process is the same discipline, protect the window, strip and re-flash properly, install roofing materials to manufacturer spec, and keep the site clean. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and Ed’s name is on the truck. That’s the only guarantee you actually need.

FAQs
As an independent ES Windows service provider, we can’t speak for ES Windows’ warranty department, but we use installation practices and materials that align with industry standards for roof-to-window interfaces. In our experience, a properly flashed and sealed repair preserves the intent of the original installation and rarely raises warranty issues. If your home is still under builder warranty, call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk you through what to document before work begins.
Most ES Windows roof leak repairs in Palm Beach are completed within one to two days of our first inspection, and for active leaks, we typically schedule you within the same week. We always recommend a temporary tarp if rain is forecast before we can get to the repair. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Most roofing work around ES Windows doesn’t require OEM window parts at all. The flashing, sealant, and step flashing we use are roofing products, not window parts. When a window component itself is damaged, we’ll discuss OEM versus quality aftermarket options with you before any work is approved. The decision is always yours, and the price difference is always spelled out.
Yes, and that’s where our experience shows. A roof replacement in Palm Beach puts stress on every window tied into the roofline, and ES Windows units need careful masking, flashing protection, and precise re-integration when the new roof goes on. We’ve done enough of these to know where the risk points are and how to avoid them. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate on your roof replacement with ES Windows interface work.
