How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• ES Windows glass roof panels lose their edge seal first, not the glass itself. The laminated glass itself rarely fails. What fails is the sealant bond where the glass meets the aluminum frame, especially on south-facing roofs in Hollywood where the sun bakes the sealant daily. We see it most on the ES 45 series roof glazing. The fix is a full disassembly of the glazing stop, a clean-out of the old sealant, and a re-bed with a marine-grade structural silicone rated for constant UV exposure. A fogged panel is a sealed unit failure, which usually means glass replacement, not a reseal.
• Skylight curb leaks get misdiagnosed as roof leaks, and the roof gets torn up for nothing. We have walked up to too many Hollywood houses where a roofer already re-papered half the roof chasing a leak that was actually the skylight curb flashing. On ES Windows skylights, the curb is often site-built, and the ES unit sits on top of it. If the curb was not flashed with a proper back-pan and step flashing at the right height, water walks under the ES skylight frame and shows up a few feet away on the ceiling. We pull the skylight, inspect the curb, re-flash it correctly, and reset the unit. The roof does not get touched unless it actually needs it.
• Condensation between ES Windows glazing panels in a sloped glass roof is a failed insulated glass unit, not a humidity problem in the house. Homeowners in Hollywood sometimes run dehumidifiers for months before someone tells them the truth. If you can wipe the fog off the inside but not the outside, the unit is breathing through a failed seal. ES Windows uses a dual-seal construction on their bronze and clear laminated units. Once the secondary seal goes, the argon escapes and the glass starts fogging. The fix is a new insulating glass unit built to the original ES Windows spec, set into the existing frame, and sealed with the same materials ES Windows used on the line.
• The ES Windows hardware on operable roof vents will bind in Hollywood because of salt and heat cycling. ES awning and roof vent operators used on glazed roof sections rely on a four-bar hinge set. In Hollywood, the combination of salt air off the Atlantic and months of 90-degree heat on a dark roof means the hinge pins corrode and the operator gears strip when you crank against the resistance. Homeowners force the crank and snap the gear. We replace the operator with either an OEM part or a machined aftermarket replacement depending on what ES Windows has in stock. We tell you which one you are getting and why before we install it.
• Tile roofs with ES Windows glass inserts crack at the glass-to-tile transition because of differential movement. This is the one that separates a Hollywood roofer from a glazier. Clay tile roof sections expand and contract at a different rate than the aluminum ES Windows frame holding the glass insert. If the tile was set tight against the frame with no expansion joint, the tile pushes the frame, and the glass cracks along the edge. Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood watching his father reseal jalousie frames against whatever the Atlantic threw at them, and this exact failure is why he still says the paperwork takes care of itself only when the opening is measured right and the frame is set square. We re-cut the tile, install a proper expansion joint, and re-bed the glass. It stops cracking because the two systems stop fighting each other.

Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. No voicemail tree. We ask what you are seeing, when it started, and whether it is on a flat roof, a tile roof, or a low-slope section. We schedule a time that works, and we show up when we say.
2. 2
   We measure and inspect on site. We look at the glass, the frame, the flashing, the curb, the surrounding roofing material, and the drainage path. On a Hollywood tile roof we walk carefully or use a ridge ladder; on a metal roof we use shoes that will not dent the panel. We take photos and show you what we are seeing before we recommend anything.
3. 3
   We give you a written line-by-line quote. OEM glass or quality aftermarket, brand-name sealant, exact labor, and which ES Windows part we plan to use. You see the numbers side by side on paper before you ever commit. No change orders later.
4. 4
   We do the work. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle the removal, prep, installation, and finishing. We protect the interior, we keep the work area clean, and we treat the job like it is our own mother’s roof.
5. 5
   We test before we call it done. We water-test the repair with a controlled hose spray at a rate that simulates a Hollywood afternoon downpour. If it does not pass, we do not pack up.
6. 6
   We register both warranty layers and hand you the paperwork. That is the Keystone Standard. We write down what is covered and for how long before the truck leaves the driveway. And the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If it is not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no fine print.

What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Hollywood

Here is what homeowners in Hollywood should budget for the most common ES Windows roof-glass repairs.

• Reseal a leaking ES Windows skylight or roof panel: $300 to $650, depending on the number of panels and whether we need to re-flash the curb. Most jobs are done in half a day.
• Replace one fogged ES Windows insulated glass unit in a roof or skylight: $450 to $900. Laminated safety glass, which is required in roof applications, lands on the higher end.
• Replace a cracked glass roof panel on a tile or metal roof with a new laminated ES Windows unit: $600 to $1,400, depending on panel size and whether we need to re-work the tile or metal trim around the frame.
• Rebuild a site-built curb under an ES Windows skylight that has rotted: $800 to $1,500, including new flashing, new curb construction, and full reinstall of the ES unit.
• Full service call and mechanical repair on an ES Windows operable roof vent or awning operator: $175 to $400, including parts and labor.

What moves the price is access. A two-story Hollywood barrel tile roof with a 6/12 pitch costs more to work on than a single-story flat deck. Whether you need OEM or aftermarket glass also changes the number, and we show you both on paper before you choose. Call (863) 334-2933 and we will give you a real number for your specific roof, free.
