This page is for Miami homeowners who already have ES Windows products, or are considering them, and want one company that understands both the windows and the roof above them. The two systems meet at the flashing, the sealant, and the drip edge. Get any of those wrong and an expensive window leaks. That connection is exactly what we focus on.
Key Takeaways

- Shingle, tile, and metal roofing failures near ES Windows products are almost always a flashing or sealant problem, not a window problem. Fix the roof-to-window transition and the leak stops.

- Call (844) 901-4551 and a live person answers, day or night. No voicemail loops, no call centers.
How ES Windows Products Fail — and How We Fix Them
ES Windows makes a solid product, but Miami’s salt air, hurricane-driven rain, and relentless sun expose weak points in any window-to-roof connection. Here’s what we actually see on ES Windows jobs in Miami, and what we do about it.
- Flashing failure at the head of the window on shingle roofs. On homes where ES Windows are installed below a shingle roof line, we regularly find step flashing that was never properly woven into the shingle courses, or aluminum flashing that has corroded through after years of salt exposure. Water follows the roof plane straight down behind the window flange. Our fix: remove the affected shingles, install proper step flashing and a new drip edge, seal the window head with the right polyurethane sealant, and reinstall the shingles so the laps shed water correctly. The window itself rarely needs replacement.
- Tile roof transitions that trap debris and hold water. Barrel tile roofs in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Coral Gate have a profile that creates valleys and pockets. When the tile-to-window transition uses a horizontal pan that doesn’t slope, leaves and dirt accumulate and water pools against the ES Windows frame. Over time, the frame sealant breaks down and water migrates inside the wall. We rebuild the transition with a properly sloped metal pan and a tile-to-wall flashing detail that moves water away from the window.
- Metal roof expansion and contraction working the sealant loose on ES Windows frame corners. Standing-seam metal roofs in Miami move. They expand in the afternoon heat and contract at night, and that movement transfers to the window frame at the corners. We see ES Windows with sealant that has cracked and pulled away from the frame corners, letting wind-driven rain get behind the window. The fix is not more sealant piled on top. We remove the old sealant, install a proper backer rod, and use a high-movement sealant rated for metal roof applications.
- Chimney and skylight flashing failures leaking down onto ES Windows sills. This one surprises homeowners. Water enters at a poorly flashed chimney on a tile or shingle roof, travels down the roof deck, and shows up inside at the ES Windows sill below. The window gets blamed, but the window is dry. We trace the leak path with a water test, then fix the actual source, usually the chimney cricket or the skylight curb flashing.
- Aftermarket glass or hardware from questionable sources. Some Miami homeowners buy replacement glass units or hardware online to save money, then call us when the fit is off or the unit fogs up. ES Windows frames are engineered to specific glass thicknesses and hardware sets. We use OEM parts when available, and when a quality aftermarket part genuinely performs as well, we tell you exactly what we’re using and why. We don’t guess, and we don’t install parts that don’t match the frame.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every job follows the same clear sequence, whether it’s a small leak repair or a full roof-to-window transition rebuild. Here’s what happens when you call (844) 901-4551.
- 1
You call and a live person answers. You explain what you’re seeing. We ask a few questions about the roof type, the window location, and when the problem started. If we think we can diagnose it over the phone, we’ll tell you. More often, we schedule a visit.
- 2
A background-checked technician arrives in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before you open it. Ed Winslow’s name is on the truck and on the permit, so the person on site is accountable to the owner.
- 3
We diagnose the roof-to-window connection. We inspect the flashing, the sealant, the shingle or tile laps, the metal roof seams, and the window frame itself. We run a water test where appropriate to trace the actual leak path, not the most obvious one.
- 4
We show you what we found and give you a written quote. You’ll see the problem and the fix. If the window itself is fine and the roof transition is the issue, we say so. We don’t sell windows you don’t need.
- 5
We do the work and test the result. The repair gets done, the area gets cleaned, and we test the fix with water before we call the job done. If it leaks, we’re not finished.
- 6
You get the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That promise doesn’t expire.

What moves the price: roof pitch and access (a two-story tile roof in Coconut Grove costs more than a one-story shingle roof in Westchester), the condition of the existing flashing, and whether we’re rebuilding a transition or patching it. The quote you get is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprises at the end. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Miami Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. We grew up here, we work here, and we don’t vanish when the rains come. The Done Right Promise means if we mess up, we fix it, and we don’t have an expiration date for that. A live person answers every call at (844) 901-4551, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because leaks don’t wait for business hours.
We also work on the other premium brands Miami homeowners already have, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. That matters because a roof problem near an ES Windows product often sits right next to another manufacturer’s window. We diagnose the whole building, not just one brand’s product. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and knows ES Windows failure modes without needing to call a factory hotline. The one down the road, and the one who picks up the phone.
FAQs
No. ES Windows warranties cover the window itself, which is the glass unit, frame, and hardware. Roof flashing and sealant work at the window perimeter doesn’t void that warranty, provided the window isn’t modified. We never drill into an ES Windows frame unnecessarily, and when we do need to anchor flashing, we use the proper fasteners and sealants for that frame. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we work in a way that keeps your manufacturer warranty intact. Call (844) 901-4551 with your specific window model and we’ll tell you exactly what applies.
OEM ES Windows parts typically arrive in 5 to 12 business days in Miami, depending on what you need and whether it’s coming from a regional distributor or the factory. For common items like sealant, hardware, and flashing components, we carry what we need on the truck. If you’re in a rush, call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll check current parts availability before you commit.
If the glass unit is intact, the frame is square, and the hardware works, you almost certainly need a roof-to-window flashing repair, not a window replacement. In Miami, we see leak calls where the ES Windows product is perfectly fine and the real problem is a corroded flashing pan or a failed sealant joint at the roof. We’ll show you the leak path before we recommend anything. If the window is genuinely damaged, we’ll say so. Call (844) 901-4551 for an honest assessment.
Yes. Any work that touches the building envelope, which includes flashing and roof-to-window transitions, requires a permit in Miami-Dade County. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and don’t call the job done until the inspector signs off. Ed Winslow’s name is on the permit, and his reputation is tied to the inspection.
No. The written quote you approve is the price you pay. If we open up the roof and find something unexpected that genuinely requires more work, we stop, show you exactly what we found, and get your approval on a written change order before doing anything else. You won’t get a surprise invoice at the end. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate.
