ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in South Miami: What to Know First
ES Windows shingle, tile and metal roofing in South Miami means matching the right roof to an ES Windows-equipped home. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a factory arm, and most ES Windows roofing jobs in South Miami run $450 to $900 for repair work, while full replacements start around $11,000 and climb based on material and square footage. If you own a home in South Miami with ES Windows and the roof is failing around or above them, call (850) 930-1813. We’ll send a tech who knows these windows and how a roof should be built around them.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Frame bowing on ES Windows ES-900 series after tile roof replacement. Tile roofs are heavy. When an older South Miami home gets tile installed over a roof deck that has settled, the added load transfers downward through the header above the window. The ES-900 series uses a narrower frame profile than some competitors, and we regularly find the top rail bowed inward just enough to bind the sash. The fix is not a new window. We relevel the header, reset the frame with fresh shims, and reseal the flashing. In South Miami, we see this on at least a dozen homes a year.
- Leaking at the window-to-roof transition after shingle replacement. The factory flashing on ES Windows ES-710 single-hung units is a straight aluminum bend. Works fine until a roofer replaces shingles and reroutes the step flashing. Water follows the new shingle edge, skips the old drip leg, and finds the window’s top nailing fin. The telltale is a damp spot on the interior drywall directly above the window, not below it. We pull the first course of shingles, install a proper kickout, and reseal the fin with roofing-grade polyurethane.
- Mullion seal failure on ES Windows ES-820 picture units under metal roof runoff. Metal roofs shed water fast. On a two-story South Miami home, that sheet of water can come off the roof edge and hit a large picture window hard. The ES-820 mullion joints are sealed with a butyl tape that degrades in salt air, and once it lets go, water tracks straight into the frame. We rebuild the mullion seal and add a drip shield where the roofline directs water at glass. The window gets dry, and the roof stays untouched.
- Cracked tile flashing collars around roof penetrations near ES Windows skylight-adjacent units. Homes with ES Windows often pair the look with roof-adjacent glass. When tile flashing collars crack during seasonal rain, water enters the roof system and surfaces at the first interior break: the window head. We’ve fixed this exact pattern on ES Windows ES-800 casement series installations in the Ludlam Trail corridor. The roof repair is straightforward. The window only needs a trim and seal check.
- Salt-air corrosion on ES Windows hardware after unsealed shingle work. South Miami salt air attacks exposed hardware. If a previous roofer left an unsealed nail penetration or a missing shingle tab near a window, the constant moisture wicks into the frame cavity and corrodes the ES Windows locking mechanism. We replace the hardware with OEM-grade components and correct the roof penetration. One trip, both problems handled.

Why South Miami Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
Ed Winslow grew up in the Sunset neighborhood of South Miami, near Dante Fascell Park. He’s spent almost two decades installing and replacing windows and doors across this city, and he learned early that a window is only as good as the roof above it.

We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, ECO Window Systems, and we service ES Windows as an independent provider. That multi-brand depth matters. We know what a proper window-to-roof joint looks like, because we’ve installed and repaired most of the brands on the market. And we stand behind the work with the Done Right Promise. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
FAQs
Not with us. We follow ES Windows warranty-safe practices: no drilling into the frame, no sealants that react with factory materials, and no modifications to the window itself. The roof work we do around the window is done to preserve the original installation. If you have a written ES Windows warranty, we’ll tell you exactly how our repair interacts with it before any work starts. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll walk you through it.
