How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows builds a solid architectural product, but every manufacturer has patterns. Here are five we see regularly in Wellington, especially after the summer storm cycle and the afternoon downpours that roll in off the Everglades.

• Flashing separation at head joints. On ES Windows Series 400 and 600 lines installed before 2015, the head flashing was often set with a bead of sealant that hardens in our sun and separates from the frame. When a shingle or tile roof sheds water toward the window head, that gap lets moisture ride the top of the frame and find the rough opening. We pull the old flashing, inspect the nailing fin and WRB, and install a new one-piece head flashing lapped under the roofing felt as well as over the window. If it’s not lapped under the felt, it’s a trim detail, not a weather barrier.
• Weep system clogging on impact-rated models. The ES Windows impact series, particularly the Series 900, has a weep path at the sill designed to drain water that gets past the gasket. Roof debris from shingle and tile tear-offs, especially the fine granules that come off aging asphalt shingles, packs into those weeps. We see it most in Wellington neighborhoods with mature oaks like Paddock Park and Palm Beach Point. Our fix is a full weep clear, sill inspection, and a recommendation to have your roofer tarp or vacuum weeps during any roof replacement.
• Sill pan omission at tile transitions. When a tile roof meets a window wall, the sill area takes splashback. Some original installations skipped the sill pan, because code then was less strict than it is now. The result shows up as staining at interior drywall returns below the window, and it’s worse when the tile roof has a low pitch and water lingers. We install a properly sloped sill pan with end dams, integrated with the window and the wall assembly. This is not a caulk fix, and anyone who tells you it is has never pulled a water-damaged sill apart.
• Side-jamb sealant failure against metal roof panels. Metal roofs move. Thermal expansion and contraction in Wellington’s heat cycles shear the sealant between ES Windows frames and metal roof wall flashings. The ES Series 200, common on Wellington mid-century homes, has a narrower jamb profile that leaves less sealant contact area. We re-cut the joint, install a foam backer rod sized to the actual gap, and top it with a high-movement sealant rated for our UV load.
• Warped mullions from roof-related settling. Wellington sits on a mix of sand and muck, and on older block homes it’s not unusual to see slight foundation movement after decades of wet-dry cycles in the soil. That movement can pinch mullions on wider ES Windows assemblies, especially three-unit configurations. The windows get blamed; the roof load and wall movement are often the driver. We shim the mullion assembly, reset the operating units, and if a tile roof replacement is already underway, we coordinate so the new weight and the window work settle together. If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

Here’s how a typical job runs from the first call to the final walkthrough.

1. 1
   Site assessment. We inspect the existing roofing system, window interfaces, flashing conditions, and drainage. We photograph everything and measure every opening twice.
2. 2
   Parts and material decision. We identify whether OEM ES Windows components are warranted, available, and worth the lead time. For discontinued lines or long lead items, we source quality aftermarket flashing and hardware that meets or exceeds the original spec, and we show you both options on paper with prices and lead times.
3. 3
   Written scope. You get a line-item quote showing labor, materials, parts, and any decking or structural repairs. No allowances without a number next to them.
4. 4
   Installation. We strip the affected roof area or full roof as scoped, repair decking, install underlayment, and set the roofing system with the window and wall interfaces lapped correctly. We always integrate the window flashing with the new roofing, never the reverse.
5. 5
   Testing. We water-test the critical joints with a hose and check from inside for any sign of ingress before we load shingle bundles or tile on top of the work.
6. 6
   Cleanup and inspection. We walk the roof with you if you want to see it, review the warranty registration paperwork, and make sure both layers of the warranty protection are registered in writing before we leave. That’s The Keystone Standard.

What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Wellington

Here are the numbers we quote most often in Wellington, and we’ll put any of these in writing before work starts.

• Full shingle roof replacement over ES Windows wall assemblies: $18,000 to $32,000 for a typical 2,200 to 3,000 square-foot Wellington home.
• Tile roof replacement: $32,000 to $55,000, with the spread driven by whether you choose concrete or clay tile and whether the existing underlayment is still sound.
• Metal roof installation: $28,000 to $48,000, depending on panel profile, gauge, and whether we’re removing old material or installing over a single layer.
• Window-to-roof flashing repairs on ES Windows interfaces: $850 to $2,400 per opening, depending on access and how much rotted sheathing we find.
• Weep system cleaning and sill re-seal: $350 to $900 per window.

What moves the price is what’s underneath the roofing. If decking is swollen or rotted from years of a bad flashing detail, that’s added cost you didn’t create. We show you photos before we touch anything, and we don’t change the number once the contract is signed unless you change the scope.

FAQs

Will repairing my ES Windows roofing interface void the window warranty?
No. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not an authorized installer, and our repairs are performed to preserve the existing warranty. We don’t modify the window structure or remove the glazing. If we need to replace any ES Windows component, we use OEM parts where the warranty requires and document everything in writing. If you’re uncertain, call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk through exactly what your warranty covers before we quote anything.

Can you match ES Windows flashing and trim on older Wellington homes?
In most cases, yes. For current lines like Series 400, 600, and 900, OEM flashing is still available. For discontinued lines, we source aftermarket flashing that matches the original profile and we show you the side-by-side comparison on paper. We’d rather take an extra two days on parts than install something that doesn’t look right or shed water correctly. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll check availability for your specific model.

How long does an ES Windows shingle, tile, or metal roof job take in Wellington?
A full shingle roof replacement usually takes three to five working days. Tile roofs run five to eight days. Metal roofs are typically seven to ten working days depending on panel run length and weather. Weather in Wellington is the biggest wildcard, and we schedule around it honestly. We won’t tell you Tuesday if we know it’s Friday. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll give you a real schedule, not a sales schedule.

Repair or replace: how do I decide?
If the decking under the roof is still sound and the failure is confined to flashings, weeps, or sealant joints, repair makes sense and we’ll tell you that even when a replacement would be worth more. If the underlayment is failing or the decking shows rot at the window interfaces, a band-aid repair won’t last, and you’d be paying twice in five years. We show you the photos and give you a straight recommendation. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll inspect it before we quote it.

Do you pull the permit for roofing work in Wellington?
Yes. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and we don’t consider the job done until the Village of Wellington inspection passes and your warranty registration is complete. You’re not responsible for chasing the inspector or the paperwork. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through the permit process for your specific property.
