AfterES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation in Boca Raton: What to Know First
ES Windows roof replacement and installation in Boca Raton typically runs between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on roof size, material, and whether we’re also replacing the skylights, flashing, and any integrated window assemblies that ES Windows homes often have. We turn most full replacements around in 5 to 10 working days once materials land. That’s the honest range, not a teaser number we’ll triple once the contract’s in front of you. This page is for homeowners whose ES Windows products are tied into a roof that’s reached the end of its life, or who are planning a new roof and want the window and door openings done by one crew that actually understands how ES Windows systems seal. Call (561) 816-5648 and you’ll get a real person, day or night.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Frame-to-roof flashing separation on ES Windows Series 7000 aluminum frames. In Boca Raton’s salt-and-humidity mix, the silicone bond between an ES Windows frame and the roofing felt degrades faster than the frame itself. We see water staining at the top corners of Series 7000 picture windows on homes in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, almost always traced to flashing that was never stepped correctly. Our fix is a full re-flash with stainless termination bar, not a bead of caulk over the old seal.
- Drainage weep hole blockage on ES Windows impact-rated casements. ES Windows casements drain through narrow channels at the sill. After roof replacement, debris from the tear-off gets pushed into those channels if the openings aren’t covered properly. Blocked weeps push water back into the wall. We mask every ES Windows opening before the first shingle comes off, and we clear the weeps with compressed air after the job, not a toothpick that just packs the debris deeper.
- Thermal bowing on ES Windows fixed-lite units near dark roof surfaces. Boca Raton roofs hit 150 degrees in August, and a new dark-tile or dark-shingle roof radiates heat straight back at fixed-lite ES Windows glass. Older ES Windows units without a low-E upgrade can bow and crack under that reflected load. We check glass deflection on every fixed lite after the roof goes on, and we’ll recommend the right glass package if the original unit can’t handle the new roof’s thermal profile.
- Improperly shimmed installs from the original build. Quite a few ES Windows frames in Boca Raton went in without proper shims at the header, especially in production builds along Clint Moore Road. The roof replacement is the right moment to correct that, because the old flashing has to come off anyway and we can see exactly what the frame is sitting on. We re-shim, re-level, and re-seal before the new roof ties in.
- Seal failure in dual-pane ES Windows units near roof exhaust fans. Roof-mounted exhaust fans and ridge vents change the air pressure around windows. We’ve replaced more than a few ES Windows dual-pane units in Broken Sound where the seal failed within two years of a roof replacement, because the new roof’s ventilation created a pressure differential the old seals couldn’t take. When we quote your roof, we check every ES Windows unit adjacent to the new venting and note which ones are at risk.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach a live dispatcher at (561) 816-5648, who books a site visit. No ticket number, no voicemail.
- 2
The walk-through. One of our techs walks the roof and every ES Windows opening with you. We document flashing condition, weeps, shim gaps, and any glass that’s already under stress. You get photos and a written line-item scope, not a hand-wave and a number.
- 3
Materials decision. For the roof, we price shingle, tile, or metal options side by side. For ES Windows adjacent work, we use OEM flashing kits where they’re still available, and quality third-party flashing where OEM supply has dried up. We’ll tell you which is which and why.
- 4
The work. We mask all ES Windows units, strip the old roof, correct any frame issues we found, install the new flashing system, and install the roof. The crew is background-checked and uniformed. Ed Winslow walks the job at least once while it’s in progress.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We run water tests on every flashing point, clear all weeps, check glass for deflection and seal integrity, and haul off everything down to the last nail.
- 6
The 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If anything about the job isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No fine print, no prorated nonsense.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We’ve been doing windows, doors, and roofing in Boca Raton since 2011. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College before spending two decades doing South Florida exteriors the hard way. My name’s on the truck, so the work has to be right. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a manufacturer warranty station, which means we tell you what the unit actually needs, not what corporate policy says we can charge for. If a repair makes sense, we say so. If replacement is the honest call, we say that too, and we’ll show you why. And because we install PGT, CGI, CWS, ECO Window Systems, and ES Windows, we’re not married to one brand when a different one would serve your house better. The one down the road.
FAQs
Roof replacement itself does not void an ES Windows warranty, but improper flashing work around the frames can, and that’s the most common way we see homeowners lose valid warranty claims. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we document the pre-existing frame condition and use warranty-safe flashing methods on every roof job in Boca Raton. If you have an active warranty, call us at (561) 816-5648 before the roof work starts so we can photograph and document everything properly.
Yes, in most cases the frames stay in place and we work the new flashing system around them. The exception is when the existing frame was never properly shimmed or the frame itself is failing, at which point removing and resetting the window is actually the faster and cheaper path than trying to flash around a compromised frame. We’ll tell you which situation you have during the walk-through.
Most full roof replacements with ES Windows re-flashing take 5 to 10 working days from tear-off to final cleanup. Tile roofs run toward the longer end, shingle roofs toward the shorter end. Weather in Boca Raton during hurricane season can add a day or two, and we schedule accordingly. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll give you a straight timeline for your specific roof.
We use OEM ES Windows flashing kits where they’re still manufactured and available. Where OEM supply has been discontinued, we use commercial-grade stainless flashing systems that exceed the original spec. We’ll show you the parts before they go on the house, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the work either way.
If your home has ES Windows skylights or roof-integrated glazing, we handle them as part of the same scope, not a separate trade that shows up two weeks later. We’ll inspect the curb, flashing, and glass during the initial walk-through and give you a line-item price for replace-versus-reseal before the roof work begins. Estimates are free, and seniors and veterans get a standing 10% discount.
