This page is for CWS owners who want the facts: how these roofs fail in South Florida’s heat and storms, what repairs actually cost here, and why Ed Winslow’s crew handles CWS work differently than the big-box installers.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS roofing systems are solid, but every brand has weak points. Here’s what we see repeatedly on CWS roofs in Boca Raton, from the Intracoastal to west of the Turnpike.

• CWS tile underlayment breakdown at flashing points. On CWS concrete tile systems, the underlayment often fails first where tiles meet vent pipes and skylight curbs. Boca Raton’s afternoon thunderstorms push water sideways, and once the underlayment tears at those transition points, water travels under the tiles for weeks before you see a ceiling stain. We pull the affected tiles, replace the underlayment section with a high-temp modified bitumen, and re-bed the tile with fresh mortar.
• Shingle granule loss on CWS architectural shingle lines. CWS architectural shingles lose granules faster on the western-facing slopes. The afternoon sun in Boca Raton bakes those surfaces, and once granules go, the asphalt layer oxidizes and cracks. We’ve repaired dozens of these where the damage was confined to one slope. The fix is a phased shingle replacement on that plane, not a full reroof.
• Metal roof seam separation at the ridge on CWS standing seam panels. Boca Raton’s humidity cycle expands and contracts metal panels daily. On CWS standing seam systems, the sealant at the ridge cap is usually the first casualty. We strip the old sealant, clean the seam with solvent, and apply a marine-grade sealant rated for coastal salt air. It’s a half-day job most of the time.
• Tile cracking from impact during hurricane season. CWS concrete tiles are dense, but a flying branch in a September squall will crack them. The danger isn’t just the visible crack; it’s the hairline fracture you can’t see from the ground. When we do a repair on one cracked CWS tile, we walk the whole roof and tap-test the surrounding tiles. A cracked tile that goes unaddressed lets water sit on the underlayment, which shortens its life by years.
• Improper prior patches using non-CWS profile tiles. We frequently see CWS tile roofs where a previous contractor patched with a generic barrel tile that doesn’t match the CWS profile. Water runs over the mismatched tile, hits the lip, and backs up under the course above it. On our repair jobs, we source the correct CWS profile or have it matched from a regional supplier who carries the exact mold. You’d be surprised how many “leaks” are really mismatched tile patches from years ago.

Our CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s exactly what happens when you call us about a CWS roof issue in Boca Raton:

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. (561) 816-5648 rings to a live human, day or night. No script. No ticket number. We ask what you’re seeing and when it started.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic. Ed or a senior tech walks the roof and checks the obvious failure points first. We photograph everything so you see what we see. No vague “it’s your flashing” reports without visual proof.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM CWS vs. matched aftermarket. If your roof still has CWS warranty coverage on components, we’ll recommend OEM parts and document the work so your warranty stays valid. If the warranty’s long gone, we’ll tell you honestly when a quality matched aftermarket part makes more sense for your dollar. We never push parts you don’t need.
4. 4
   The repair. We work in sections, not whole-roof tear-offs unless that’s actually what the roof needs. For a CWS tile repair, that means pulling only the affected tiles, addressing the underlayment, and re-bedding with fresh mortar matched to your existing joints.
5. 5
   Water test. We don’t leave until we’ve run water on the repaired area and confirmed it drains correctly. That’s not optional on a CWS tile roof; water finds the lowest point and sits there.
6. 6
   The 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If what we fixed turns out not to be right, we come back and we make it right. Ed’s name is on the business, and the promise is simple: it’s not done until it’s right.

What CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s what CWS owners in Boca Raton should expect for common repair scenarios:

The two big variables in Boca Raton are roof pitch and decking condition. Older homes near Mizner or along Federal Highway often have decking that’s softened over decades, and that gets discovered at repair time. We show you the bad wood before we touch it and give you a written line-item quote before any work proceeds. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate, and remember: we offer no trip charge inside our home county, plus $40 off any repair over $200.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We’ve been doing exterior work in South Florida since 2011, and CWS roofing has been part of that mix for years. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College before putting in nearly two decades of hands-on window, door, and roof work. That means when a CWS tile system acts up, we’re not reading a manual; we’re seeing the same failure for the tenth time and already know the fix.

Beyond CWS, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if your roofing repair uncovers a window or door issue on the same elevation, we can handle that too without handing you off to another company. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, every call is answered live 24/7, and every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a hundred years of accountability. Ed’s name is on the truck, so the work has to be right.
