ES Windows Roof Repair in Palm Beach: What to Know First
ES Windows roof repair in Palm Beach typically runs $450-$1,800 depending on whether you’re dealing with a failed seal at the roofline junction, water intrusion around a transom, or structural rot under a sill that’s been soaking up Florida rain for a decade. Most ES Windows roof-related repairs are done in a single visit once we diagnose the problem, and we quote upfront so you know the number before any work starts. This page is for homeowners in Palm Beach who own ES Windows products and have noticed staining, dripping, or soft drywall near where the roofline meets the glass. If that’s you, call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll talk through what you’re seeing.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows are serious, impact-rated products built for coastal conditions, but no window survives forever against South Florida’s combination of salt air, afternoon downpours, and hurricane-season wind-driven rain. Here’s what we actually see on ES Windows jobs in Palm Beach where the roof is implicated:
- ES Windows Series 7000 transom leaks at the roof flashing line. The transom sits tight against the soffit or roof overhang, and the original flashing often gets lapped wrong during construction or settles over time. Water rides the roofline, hits that seam, and follows the frame down into the wall. We pull the old flashing, inspect the rough opening, and reflash with proper step flashing and sealant so the water never touches the frame again.
- ES Windows Series 5000 fixed-picture windows with failed perimeter sealant under roof overhangs. Palm Beach homes with deep eaves think they’re protected until a driving rain hits at an angle. The sealant between the frame and the stucco or wood buck dries out, cracks, and channels water straight down into the wall cavity. We remove the old sealant completely, backer rod and tool a marine-grade sealant, and test the junction with a hose before we call the job done.
- ES Windows Series 8000 sliding glass doors where the header above is rotted from a roof leak. By the time you see the door sticking or the track filling with water, the roof leak above has usually been there for months or years. The door itself is often fine, but the framing around it isn’t. We repair the roofline source first, then replace rotted header stock and reinstall the door so it operates like it did when it was new.
- ES Windows impact windows with weep holes clogged by roof debris and pine needles. Palm Beach has no shortage of oak pollen, sea grape leaves, and construction dust, all of which end up in the weep system that lets condensation and incidental water drain out. When the weeps clog, water backs up into the track and the frame. It looks like a window problem. It’s often a maintenance problem. We clear the weeps, flush the track, and show you what to watch for.
- ES Windows corner windows where two frames meet under a valley in the roof. Roof valleys concentrate water flow, and any window directly below one takes a beating during storms. The corner joint between frames is a common intrusion point, especially on older ES Windows installations where the mullion seal has degraded in the heat. We disassemble the mullion joint, reseal it with the correct structural sealant, and add a diverter at the roofline when the architecture allows.
Our ES Windows Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call (561) 831-7863 and describe what you’re seeing. A live person answers, not a voicemail loop. We ask where the water is showing up, how long it’s been happening, and whether it gets worse during certain weather. That tells us a lot before we ever arrive.
- 2
A background-checked technician comes out and does a full perimeter inspection. We don’t just look at the window. We look at the roofline above it, the flashing, the wall below, and the interior for hidden moisture. ES Windows failures are often misdiagnosed as “window problems” when the true source is a foot or two uphill. We find the real source.
- 3
You get a written, line-item quote before any work starts. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders halfway through because we “found something.” If we find something, we show you photos and explain the options.
- 4
We repair what’s broken. That means OEM ES Windows parts where the warranty or the integrity of the system depends on them, and quality aftermarket alternatives where a generic part is genuinely equal and less expensive. We tell you which is which and why, and we never substitute parts silently to pad a margin.
- 5
We water-test the repair before we pack up. If it leaks under a hose at full pressure, it fails. We don’t leave until we’ve proven the fix works. Then we clean up, haul away debris, and send you a summary of exactly what was done.
What ES Windows Roof Repair Costs in Palm Beach
Here’s what ES Windows roof repair in Palm Beach typically runs, based on the jobs we see most often:
- Perimeter sealant removal and replacement: $450-$950 for a standard window, $700-$1,400 for multi-window runs or transom configurations.
- Flashing repair or replacement at the roofline: $600-$1,400 depending on roof type, access, and whether tile or metal is involved.
- Header rot repair above a door or window: $900-$1,800, including roofline source repair, framing replacement, and reinstallation of the unit.
- Weep system cleaning and track restoration: $150-$400 per window or door, often done same-day.
- Full diagnostic visit with infrared moisture mapping: free with any repair, as part of our standard quote process.
What moves the price? Ladder access, roof pitch, whether you have tile or standing seam metal, and how long the leak has been active. The longer water sits, the more damage you’re paying to repair. That’s why we tell Palm Beach homeowners the same thing every time: the cheapest roof repair is the one you catch early. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free estimate.

We’ve been doing this since 2011, which is a long time to exist in Florida’s construction market without burning any bridges.

He was born in Miami, trained at Miami Dade College in construction technology, and spent close to two decades on Florida job sites learning these systems the hard way before he opened Winslow Windows & Doors. We also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so if you have a mixed installation, one call covers the house. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing language. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the whole promise. Call (561) 831-7863.
FAQs
ES Windows’ warranty covers manufacturing defects in the window itself, not installation failures or roof flashing problems that allow water to reach the window. Most of the roof-related failures we see in Palm Beach are installation or flashing failures that fall outside the manufacturer’s warranty. We can assess whether your issue is a product defect or a site problem and document everything for a warranty claim if one applies. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll help you sort it out.
In many cases, yes. Perimeter sealant, flashing, and weep system repairs can all be completed with the window in place. Removal is usually only required when there’s structural rot in the rough opening or the header above the unit. We won’t recommend removal and reinstallation unless it’s genuinely necessary. Call (561) 831-7863 for a diagnostic visit and we’ll tell you the truth either way.
We keep emergency slots open for active leaks, especially during storm season. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and we’ll get a technician out to assess the situation as soon as one is available. We’re also open to a second opinion. If another company quoted you a repair with a written estimate, we’ll review it and give you our honest take at no charge. Call (561) 831-7863 to arrange it.
If the glass is intact, the frame is square, and the unit still operates, repair is usually the smarter call and a fraction of the replacement cost. Palm Beach’s salt air and frequent storms can age a frame prematurely, but that’s an inspection finding, not an assumption. We’ll tell you whether your ES Windows unit is worth saving and what the repair would cost versus replacement. Estimates are free. Call (561) 831-7863.
We use OEM ES Windows parts wherever the warranty depends on them or the integrity of the system requires a factory-specific component. For sealants, flashing, and other non-branded materials, we use marine-grade products that meet or exceed what the original installation used. We explain the parts decision on every quote, and we’re never shy about telling you what costs more and why. Call (561) 831-7863 for a written line-item quote.
