ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Davie: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows shingle, tile and metal roofing service throughout Davie, and most ES Windows roof transitions and flashing repairs are completed in a single visit once parts are on hand. Our pricing is straightforward: we quote labor and materials separately on paper, and the number you approve is the number you pay. No change orders hiding in the fine print.
This page is written for Davie homeowners who already own ES Windows products and are now dealing with a roof that leaks around those windows, flashing that has pulled away, or a roofline that was not built to hold up to South Florida’s wet season. If you have a tile roof pulling loose near an ES window wall or shingle underlayment failing at the head flashing, call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll talk through what you are seeing. A live person answers.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a solid product line, but like every framed window set into a Florida roof, their units live or die by the flashing details and the substrate around them. We see the same failures repeat across Davie neighborhoods, and they are rarely the fault of the window itself. They are almost always the fault of what happened at the roofline after the window was set.
- ES Impact Series with integrated head flashing: sealant shear at the top nailing flange. In Davie, especially in the older sections off Orange Drive and around Forest Ridge, homes settle on shallow muck soils. The window stays square; the roof framing moves. That differential movement shears the sealant line along the top flange of ES Impact Series units, and water gets pulled behind the paper. We reset the head flashing, re-bed with a flexible polyurethane rather than a rigid silicone, and lap the new underlayment down over the top nailing flange correctly.
- ES Aluminum S-Series (non-impact) framed with marl chipped tile surrounding the buck: cracked corner welds at the sill. The thermal cycling here, wet mornings and 90-degree afternoons, works aluminum frames harder than the manufacturer’s temperate-climate testing accounts for. We have opened up ES S-Series sills in Davie where the corner weld has fatigued right where a salt-laden drip from a tile overhang ran for a decade. The correct fix is to strip, re-weld or replace the sill section, then add a drip edge that moves splash away from that weak point. Caulk alone will not hold.
- ES Vinyl Series 200/300 set below a tile roof with no bird stop at the eave: mud daubers and debris build-up behind the head flashing. In Davie’s tile-roofed subdivisions, the gap between tile and deck at the eave line becomes a highway for insects and wind-blown leaf litter. That debris holds moisture against the ES vinyl frame, degrades the finish strip, and eventually causes rot inside the reveal pocket. We remove the first course of tile where needed, clean the channel, install a proper bird stop, and resecure the head flashing with the correct tile-to-flashing lap.
- ES casement and awning units on shingle roofs with step flashing terminated too low: kick-out failure at the wall. We see ES casement windows in Davie bedrooms set tight to a roof-to-wall junction where the roofer stopped step flashing two shingles short of the window’s side jamb. Every wind-driven rain sends a column of water down the wall behind the ES nailing flange. We strip the shingles in that run, install a proper kick-out diverter, re-lay the step flashing, and re-tape the entire side flange. This is not a “caulk it and call it done” repair. The shingle course has to come up.
- ES sliding glass door walls on metal roofs with galvanic corrosion at the top track. A metal roof in Davie, especially a standing-seam or 5V-crimp profile, carries electrical charge near salt air. ES aluminum top tracks fastened directly to a steel roof panel or steel clip will show white powdery pitting within five to seven years. We isolate the track with a non-conductive break material, replace the corroded fasteners with stainless, and verify drainage weep systems before reinstalling the track detail. A shortcut here means the entire door wall starts binding within a year.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every ES Windows job comes through the same sequence. Our crews do not freelance, and nobody gets sent to a Davie address without knowing what they are likely to find.
- 1
You call and describe the problem. A live person answers the phone. We ask specific questions: what roofing material you have, where the water is showing, which ES model or series you can find on the sticker.
- 2
We schedule the diagnostic at a real appointment time. Not a four-hour window. We’ll be there when we say.
- 3
Diagnostic on-site. The tech removes trim, sill caps, or selected roofing around the troubled ES unit to find the actual water path. We do not guess from ground level.
- 4
Written findings and a fixed price. You get the parts number or aftermarket equivalent in writing, the labor hours, and the total. If prior work under warranty applies, we tell you exactly what role the warranty plays before any work begins.
- 5
The repair, done in place. If the repair requires re-roofing detail, our roofers handle the tile, shingle, or metal as one team, not two separate trades pointing fingers.
- 6
Test and guarantee. Before we leave, we wet-test the area with a metered hose, confirm the draw, and register the repair under our Done Right Promise. If it leaks in that window of time, we fix it. No argument.
What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Davie
ES window repairs tied to roofing problems run a range, and the main driver is always how much roofing material has to come off to expose the actual flashing plane.
| Repair Scenario | Typical Range in Davie |
|---|---|
| Sealant re-bed at head flashing, no roofing removal | $180-$350 |
| Step flashing replacement along one side jamb on a shingle roof | $350-$650 |
| Tile lift and reset around a single ES window, new underlayment and flashing | $500-$950 |
| Metal roof-to-ES window transition with closure and corrosion isolation | $550-$1,100 |
| Full sill replacement on an ES aluminum unit with structural repair | $650-$1,400 |
Two things move the number: the condition of the surrounding decking once we open the roof (if the deck is rotten, that changes scope and we show you, with photos, before we do anything), and the availability of ES-specific extrusions versus quality aftermarket profiles. We always present both options on paper. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate on your exact ES windows situation.
Why Davie Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We are a local company, in every sense that matters. Dale Kessler grew up off Orange Drive near the old Davie Arena, learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and has been setting and sealing windows in Broward County for going on twenty-six years. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right in the wall.
We service ES Windows as an independent provider, and we also work on PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, which means when you have a wall with mixed brands, one crew handles the whole thing. The Done Right Promise applies to every ES repair we make, and The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and measured twice on every opening. We will be there when we say.
FAQs
We work warranty-aware, not warranty-authorized. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we are not the entity that files your manufacturer claim. What we do is make sure the repair is performed in a way that preserves whatever warranty coverage you may still hold. We will tell you, in writing, before starting any work, whether a specific repair could impact a manufacturer or installer warranty. That clarity is part of The Keystone Standard.
Both, and you choose which path you want. We show you the OEM number and the aftermarket equivalent on paper, with prices, and we explain the practical differences. For structural extrusions that carry load, we lean OEM. For finish caps, sealant profiles, and trim pieces that do not affect the unit’s integrity, a quality aftermarket profile often serves better. We never make that decision quietly.
Sometimes, and only if the flashing plane is accessible from the interior or from the outside face of the wall. If the leak is coming from a head flashing or side flashing that was incorrectly lapped under the tile course, the tile has to come off. That is not a cost-upcharge game; it is the only way to reach the failure point. We will show you the path with photos and a diagram before any roof material moves.
We generally schedule diagnostics in Davie within a few days, and if you call about an active leak we will triage you over the phone while you wait. A live person answers 24/7. We do not send a crew out after every leak report, because if roofing removal is involved, doing it wrong in a rain event is worse than waiting for the right conditions. We will tell you the truth, including if a tarp or temporary seal is the most honest option until we can do the permanent repair.
We handle both. Given the number of Davie homes built during the last big construction cycle, with ES units dating from the late 1990s and early 2000s, there are times where the frame itself is beyond sensible repair. When that happens, we quote the replacement as we would any window job: manufacturers side by side on paper, warranty layers registered, install done right the first time. The roof-to-window interface is the same discipline either way.
