AfterES Windows Roof Repair in Hollywood: What to Know First
ES Windows roof repair in Hollywood typically costs between $350 and $1,400 depending on whether we’re resealing a skylight curb, replacing a roof-to-wall flashing detail, or pulling and resetting a large fixed lite that has started to leak at the head. Most ES Windows roof-adjacent repairs in Hollywood take one visit, and we carry the sealants and backer rod in the truck so we’re not making two appointments out of one leak. Call (863) 334-2933 for a straight answer on your setup.
This page is written for homeowners in Hollywood who bought or inherited ES Windows and now have water showing up where the window meets the roof line, or around a fixed glass panel set into a roof plane. You’re not looking for a sales pitch. You’re looking for someone who knows how these particular aluminum frames behave after ten or fifteen years of Broward sun and afternoon thunderstorms. That’s the work Dale Kessler grew up around in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, resealing jalousie frames with his father against whatever the Atlantic sent in that season. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a factory rep, which means we fix the window the way a glazier fixes it, not the way a warranty flowchart tells us to.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Head-flashing separation on ES Windows fixed roof lites. The ES Windows fixed aluminum frame is a clean, narrow-sightline design, but at the roof line, that slim frame leaves very little shelf for the flashing to grab. After a few seasons of Hollywood heat expansion, the counterflashing lifts a quarter inch off the frame head, and water wicks straight down the back of the frame. We pull the counterflashing, replace the backer rod, tool in a fresh bead of sealant rated for aluminum-to-tile or aluminum-to-shingle contact, and re-secure the flashing with new fasteners instead of driving the old ones back into stripped holes.
- Skylight curb rot under ES Windows factory curb-mount units. ES Windows skylights in Hollywood homes are often curb-mounted, and the factory curb is fine. The problem is the wood curb the original installer built underneath it, which was never flashed to this climate. We see Hollywood homes where the ES Windows skylight itself is dry, but the curb underneath has gone soft. We reset the unit, rebuilt the curb, and flash it so water can’t sit against the frame for the next ten years.
- Weep-hole blockage on ES Windows horizontal sliders near roof eaves. Roof debris in Hollywood, leaves, seed pods from live oaks, roofing granules, washes down the eave and packs the weep slots on the bottom track of an ES Windows slider. Water that can’t weep out sits in the track and migrates under the sill. We clear the weeps, check the sill flashing, and when the track is pitted to the point of no return, we’re honest about replacement.
- Thermal bow on long ES Windows spans under direct roof heat. A wide ES Windows picture window set under a hot metal or tile roof sees serious afternoon surface temperature. The aluminum frame expands and bows slightly at the midpoint, opening a hairline gap where the fixed lite meets the frame gasket. This is a known failure pattern with any aluminum window in South Florida, not a defect in the window, but it shows up on ES Windows units in Hollywood because so many homes here are built for view with big fixed lites. We can often re-seat the gasket and adjust the glazing beads without replacing the glass.
- Condensation between panes on ES Windows impact units installed near roof valleys. When a roof valley dumps water close to a window head during a hard Hollywood afternoon storm, the frame sees a lot of water in a short time. If it wasn’t flashed so water is directed past the window, the IG unit can lose its seal and fog. The fix is not a new window; it’s a new thermal unit set into the existing ES Windows frame and proper head flashing sized for this roof, not the one the roofer used in 2007.
Our ES Windows Roof Repair Process
- 1
We answer the phone. Not a call center, not a form. You call (863) 334-2933, and a live person picks up. We ask the questions a glazier asks: what kind of roof, what kind of window, where exactly the water shows up.
- 2
We look at the whole wall, not just the window. On a Hollywood roof leak, the water you see at the window is often coming from six feet up the slope. Dale’s rule from his father’s jalousie repairs still holds: find the water’s path before you touch the frame. We measure the rough opening, check the roof flashing above, and look for any missed lap.
- 3
We decide on parts before we start. If a part needs replacing, we lay out your options on paper. OEM for certain ES Windows hardware runs long on lead time; a quality aftermarket part from our supplier network can often match the original fit and function. You see both prices, both timelines, and make the call.
- 4
We make the repair with the right material, not the fast one. Whether it’s sealant compatibility, backer rod size, or flashing detail, the materials are matched to the ES Windows frame’s finish and the Hollywood roof’s surface. Anything else would just fail again two seasons later.
- 5
We test before we pack up. A water test on every roof-adjacent repair, not a squint and a shrug. We run the leak down until we see it behave, or we keep going.
- 6
We hand you the paperwork, done right. Every job leaves with a written line item of what we did, what we found, and what the warranty covers. The Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we come back and fix it without a discussion about whose fault it is.
What ES Windows Roof Repair Costs in Hollywood
Most ES Windows roof-related repairs in Hollywood land in a specific range because the work is specific. Here’s what we typically quote:
- Reseal a leaking fixed lite or picture window at the roof line: $350-$600
- Replace head flashing and re-tool sealant on an ES Windows skylight curb: $450-$800
- Clear blocked weeps and re-seat a sill on one ES Windows slider: $180-$350
- Re-glaze a fogged ES Windows fixed unit (new IG unit in existing frame): $600-$1,400 depending on glass size and impact rating
What moves the price: roof access, roof height, whether tile needs to be cut back to get at the flashing, and whether the glass is impact-rated. Impact glass costs more, that’s just the reality. If the frame itself is twisted or the opening is rotted, the conversation changes, and we’ll tell you that before touching anything. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate, written, no surprises on the bill.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We’ve been in South Broward long enough to know that the homeowner who calls about a roof leak at a window has usually already had someone out once. They got a caulk line across the top and a bill that didn’t fix the leak. We don’t work that way. Every ES Windows repair leaves here with the Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and our Done Right Promise behind the workmanship, no fine print that covers neither.
Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained the way Dale was trained: measure it twice, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself. We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI, so when an ES Windows unit isn’t worth saving, we can quote you alternatives side by side on paper. We’ll also tell you honestly if a PGT, CGI, CWS, or ECO Window Systems product would serve a Hollywood roof line better. And when you call, a live person answers. That’s been true for years, and it’s not changing.
FAQs
In most cases, yes. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we’re not factory-bound, but we repair to factory-standard methods: correct sealants, correct flashing details, and correct parts. If your ES Windows warranty is still active, we’ll tell you what’s covered before we start, and if the smarter move is filing a warranty claim instead of paying out of pocket, we’ll say so. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll walk you through what your paperwork actually says.
We schedule most Hollywood roof-adjacent ES Windows repairs for a single-visit window within the week, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 so you’re not waiting on a callback. If water is coming in during a storm, get a tarp up, call us, and we’ll get you on the board in the most sensible slot. Call (863) 334-2933 for current scheduling.
Both, and we show you the choice before we buy anything. OEM ES Windows parts are correct by definition but can run slow on lead time, especially for older series hardware. Quality aftermarket parts from our supplier network often fit the same opening, perform the same, and get the window working again sooner. You see both prices on paper and make the decision. That’s a square deal, and it’s how we’ve worked for years.
When the frame itself is compromised: deep pitting that won’t seal, a twisted frame from roof movement, or rot in the opening behind the window. We’ll tell you straight, and we can quote replacement options from multiple manufacturers including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems so you’re comparing real numbers, not one brand’s sales sheet. Repair is only the right call if the repair will hold.
No. We quote a fixed price before we start, and if we open the wall and find something we need to fix, we stop and tell you before doing anything else. No surprise line items on the bill. That’s the standard, and it’s not negotiable because it’s the only way we’d want someone working on our own house.
