AfterES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami Shores: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Miami Shores, and most jobs are completed within one to three days depending on roof access and material matching. Pricing runs from roughly $450 for minor flashing repairs to $6,800 for a full tile-to-metal conversion where ES Windows exterior wall systems tie into rooflines. You’re getting honest numbers before we start, not after. This page is for Miami Shores homeowners whose ES Windows products sit under or against a shingle, tile, or metal roof and need work done without finger-pointing between window and roofing crews. Call (727) 483-7883 and a live person picks up.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a genuinely solid impact-rated product, but South Florida weather finds every weak seam eventually. Here’s what we see on ES Windows jobs in Miami Shores and how we handle each one.
- Header flashing separation on ES Windows Series 8000 fixed-glass units. The original flashing was often installed tight against the underlayment rather than over it, so shingle replacement years later exposes a gap where water has been wicking behind the frame. We pull the affected shingles, install new step flashing that extends a full inch past the ES frame flange, and re-bed the corner where the window and roofline meet.
- Tile roof settling against ES Windows frame edges on the Series 7000 hung line. Barrel and flat tiles shift with heat expansion, and when they press against the side channel of an ES frame, they can scratch the finish and trap debris. On Miami Shores homes with clay and concrete tile, we cut a half-inch relief channel, install a flexible counterflashing, and seal it with a UV-stable polyurethane specified for tile-to-metal transitions.
- Metal roof oil-canning noise that reads as an ES Windows rattle. Standing-seam metal roofs expand and contract at a different rate than aluminum window frames, and homeowners often think the window itself is coming loose. It’s usually the roof panel slip joints. We inspect the frame anchors first, then re-secure the slip joints or add a thermal break strip so the two materials stop arguing with each other.
- Condensation pooling at ES Windows mullion intersections under metal overhangs. Miami Shores gets heavy morning dew from March through November, and metal roof overhangs drip more consistently than shingle or tile. Where ES Windows twin mullions sit directly beneath a drip edge, we see mineral staining and, in older installs, sealant breakdown. We replace the mullion cap with a wide-leg version, redirect the drip edge if it is too short, and repack the glass channel with closed-cell backer rod.
- Improperly flashed ES Windows Series 7500 casement units on shingle roof dormers. Dormer cheeks and sidewalls are where we find the most water intrusion on ES installs from the mid-2010s. The original installer ran housewrap flat against the frame and shingled over it without a kickout diverter. We add a stainless kickout flashing at the base of the dormer, re-lap the step flashing, and the leak usually stops that same afternoon.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
We treat every ES Windows roofing job as a whole-system repair, not a patch. Here’s how a typical job runs from your first call to the cleanup walk.
- 1
You call, we answer. A live person takes your address and a rough description of the problem. No ticket numbers, no callbacks.
- 2
On-site inspection. We look at the ES window frame, the surrounding roof deck, the flashing condition, and any trim or fascia that ties the two together. Photos go into your file and you get a written line-item quote before any work is approved.
- 3
Parts decision. Where ES OEM trim, caps, or extrusions are needed, we order them. Where a quality aftermarket flashing or sealant performs as well or better at lower cost, we tell you that up front and let you decide.
- 4
The work. We protect the ES frame finish with tape and drop cloths, remove only the materials that need to go, and rebuild the roof-to-window connection correctly: lapped flashing, correct sealants, proper drainage.
- 5
Testing. We run water over every seam we touched and inspect from inside where the window allows. If water gets through, we adjust before we call it done.
- 6
Cleanup and guarantee. We leave the roofline cleaner than we found it. The work is covered by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right.

Why Miami Shores Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. He grew up a few blocks from Barry University and learned the trade hands-on at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, so Miami Shores isn’t just a service area, it’s home. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we tell you the truth about parts and repair options rather than what a brand rep wants us to sell.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And if your ES Windows job needs coordination with other systems, we also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors. As Ed puts it: “My name’s on it, so it’s going to be done right.”
FAQs
Your ES Windows product warranty covers the window itself, not the flashing or roofing around it. As long as we don’t modify the ES frame or glass channel, the work we do on the surrounding roof is outside the manufacturer’s warranty scope. We photograph every step so you have documentation if you ever need to file a claim.
Most flashing and transition repairs take one day. Full roof conversions with ES window reframing typically take three days. We give you a firm timeline before work begins and you’ll hear from us, not a call center, if anything changes.
Sometimes yes. If water intrusion has rotted the frame or headers around an ES unit, we’ll show you what we found with photos and explain whether repair or replacement is the better move. We don’t push replacement when a repair is sound.
Over time, almost never. Improper flashing around impact-rated windows leads to water damage, mold, and more expensive repairs later. Roof-to-wall transitions are a place where small mistakes turn into four-figure problems, especially with Miami Shores’ heavy summer rains. Call (727) 483-7883 for a free estimate and we’ll give you an honest number.
That’s exactly why you want one company looking at both. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing and service ES Windows, so we can diagnose whether the water is coming from the roof, the window, or the seam between them without pointing fingers. When you call, a real person answers and schedules the inspection.
