ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Boca Raton: What to Know First

If you own a home in Boca Raton with ES Windows products and your shingle, tile, or metal roof is starting to fail around those window openings, you’re dealing with a very specific set of problems. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been repairing exactly this intersection of roof-and-window failure across Boca Raton for over a decade. Most ES Windows roofing repairs we handle take one to two days depending on flashing condition and tile availability, and we’ll quote you a fixed price before we touch anything. That number won’t move once work starts.

Call (561) 816-5648

This page is for homeowners who need shingle, tile, or metal roofing work directly tied to ES Windows installations: leak points at window-to-roof transitions, rotted sill decks under ES Window frames, failed step flashing that’s letting water run behind tiled walls, and the specific ways South Florida humidity attacks these seals. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, which means we can use OEM or better-fit aftermarket parts without a warranty hostage situation. Call (561) 816-5648 and a real person picks up. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and get an estimate scheduled.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Leaking at the window-to-roof transition on ES Window E-Series and L-Series frames. Boca Raton’s tropical downpours dump 60+ inches of water a year, and the step flashing at the head of these windows is often the first casualty. What we see most: original flashing was installed with nails too close to the corner, and the thermal expansion of the frame eventually pulls the nail heads through the flashing. Water then runs down the inside of the ES Window frame and shows up as a slow stain on the interior drywall below. Our fix is to remove the old flashing, inspect the nail flange for cracks, and re-flash with a wider profile that lets the frame move without tearing the metal.
• Corroded Tie-Down Clips Where ES Window Frames Meet Tile Roof Decks. ES Window’s heavier impact-rated lines (we see mostly the ES Windows series on coastal Boca homes) sit on structural tie-downs that are steel. When those tie-downs are exposed to salt air plus heat plus humidity, they corrode faster than the aluminum frame around them. A homeowner looking at the window thinks the window is failing. It’s not. It’s the connection point. We replace tie-downs with stainless versions and seal the penetration properly before the tile or shingle goes back.
• Dry-rotted sill decks under ES Window fixed units. ES Window fixed-picture windows on east-facing Boca Raton elevations get pounded by the morning sun and afternoon storms. The problem starts when the drip edge over the window is too shallow or missing entirely, so rainwater runs straight down the face and sits on the sill deck beneath the glass. Over five or six years in our climate, that sill becomes compost. The real cause isn’t the window, it’s the roof edge above it. We restore the rotted deck, install a proper drip edge with a kickout diverter, and re-set the ES Window frame on a fresh, pitched sill.
• Failed roof-to-wall step flashing beside ES Window awning units on metal roofs. Metal roofs on Boca homes move more than tile or shingle. That’s just thermal physics. The panels expand and contract dozens of times a day. If the step flashing beside an ES Window awning unit is butyl-taped instead of properly overlapped with a Z-bar, the adhesive eventually shear-fails and water finds the gap. We see this on older metal roofs where someone cut corners during the original window install. Our repair uses mechanical Z-bar flashing with a caulked, not taped, sealant joint, and we re-bed the panel edges the right way.
• Paver-tile roof weight stressing ES Window headers on older Boca Raton bungalows. A lot of the 1960s and 1970s homes along Federal Highway and in older Boca neighborhoods got barrel-tile roofs added over framing that was engineered for shingles. That added dead load slowly compresses the window headers over ES Window installations, which causes the frame to pinch against the glass and eventually crack seals. The window didn’t fail. The roof above it did. We can’t unload the roof, but we can install a stronger lintel or header stiffener when we do the roofing repair, and then re-set the ES Window unit so it’s no longer load-bearing against the frame.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s what happens when you call us about an ES Windows roofing issue in Boca Raton:

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (561) 816-5648. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and we schedule a visit. On the visit, we document the exact failure point on your ES Window unit and surrounding roofing with photos and written notes.
2. 2
   Parts decision. We determine whether the repair needs an ES Windows OEM part (usually for warranty preservation on newer units) or a higher-spec aftermarket part (often better for corrosion resistance in Boca’s salt air). We explain the trade-off in plain English, not sales talk.
3. 3
   Fixed quote. You get a written line-item price before we order anything. No allowances, no “we’ll see when we open it up.” If we find hidden damage, we stop and walk you through it with photos before touching anything else.
4. 4
   The repair. Background-checked, uniformed techs do the roofing and flashing work, re-bed or re-flash the ES Window, and seal every penetration. We protect your interior and clean up like we were never there except for the fixed window and new roofing.
5. 5
   Test and walkthrough. We water-test the repair with a hose at full pressure for 10 minutes (not a sprinkle, a real Boca-style downpour simulation) and walk you through what we did and why it’ll hold.
6. 6
   36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the promise is a century long for a reason.
