How CWS Products Fail — and How We Fix Them

After years of working on CWS roofs across Miami neighborhoods from Kendall to Coral Gables, we’ve learned exactly where these products show stress first. Here are the failure patterns we fix most often:

• CWS laminated shingle lifting at the eaves. Miami’s wind-driven rain hits the roof edge harder than anywhere else. CWS shingles are heavier than standard three-tabs, which is good for wind resistance but makes improper nail placement show up faster. We see lifted corners along the drip edge where nails were set too high or too shallow. Our fix is to lift the affected shingles, re-nail in the correct zone, and reseal the strip, then check the whole eave line so the same problem doesn’t reappear three houses down from where we found it.
• CWS barrel tile cracking at the hip and ridge transitions. Tile roofs in Miami move constantly through heat-soak and afternoon downpour cycles. The barrel tiles that cap hips and ridges take the most thermal flex, and we regularly find hairline cracks that let water wick into the underlayment. We replace the cracked tiles and inspect the underlayment beneath before we call it done. Installing a tile without checking what’s underneath just moves the leak from one spot to another.
• Metal panel oil-canning on south-facing slopes. CWS metal roof panels on a Miami south exposure can develop visible rippling, what the industry calls oil-canning. It’s not a structural failure, but it tells us something about the original installation: the panels were likely fastened too tightly against the substrate, leaving no room for thermal expansion. We address it by adjusting fastener torque on affected panels and, where necessary, re-securing the panel profile so it can move the way CWS engineered it to. A lot of contractors just leave it, but you’ll see it every time you pull into the driveway.
• Underlayment breakdown beneath CWS tile in older sections. Here’s something CWS product literature won’t volunteer: most tile-roof leaks in Miami aren’t the tile, they’re the underlayment giving out after 15 to 20 years of South Florida humidity. We take a moisture reading before we start pulling tiles. If the underlayment has failed, we tell you straight: patching the tile won’t stop the leak. The section needs to be stripped, re-papered, and re-tiled.
• Flashing separation at CWS shingle-to-wall junctions. Where a CWS shingle roof meets a stucco wall, the step flashing is the first thing to fail. Stucco holds moisture, and that moisture oxidizes thin-gauge flashing over time. We remove the old flashing, replace it with a thicker gauge, and re-seal the counter-flashing so water can’t sneak behind the wall. If we don’t address the flashing, you’ll be chasing the same ceiling stain after every hurricane season.

Our CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   Call and a live person answers. You reach us at (844) 901-4551, 24/7. We ask the right questions over the phone and schedule your free estimate. No trip charge if you’re inside our home county.
2. 2
   We diagnose, on-site, in front of you. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and walks the roof with a moisture meter and a camera. You get photos of exactly what we see, not a vague summary from a guy who never left the driveway.
3. 3
   Parts decision: CWS OEM or quality aftermarket. For shingle and tile work, we match CWS products as closely as possible, sourcing OEM components where warranty coverage depends on it. For flashing, underlayment, and fasteners, we use materials that meet or exceed CWS spec. If aftermarket makes more sense for your budget, we explain why and put it in writing before we start.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement, done by people who know Miami roofing. CWS products behave differently than other brands under South Florida sun and wind. Our crew works with that in mind, not against it.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. If we patched or replaced a section, we water-test it if conditions allow. If it’s a full replacement, we inspect every seam, flashing, and fastener.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise backs it. If the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Ed Winslow’s name is on the permit, which means he’s not going anywhere until it’s right.
