CWS Roof Repair in Hollywood: What to Know First

CWS roof repair in Hollywood typically runs $350 to $1,400 depending on what failed and whether we can pull the original flashing without tearing out more than we need to. We are an independent CWS service provider, not a CWS authorized dealer, and we get most Hollywood jobs turned around within three to five business days once parts are confirmed. Our price posture is straightforward: we charge for the hours and the materials, both quoted on paper before the first tool comes off the truck.

Call (863) 334-2933

This page is written for the Hollywood homeowner who owns a CWS roof system or skylight and wants to know what actually broke, what it will cost, and whether it is worth fixing before the next tropical system sits over Broward County for three days. If your roof is leaking around a CWS unit, call (863) 334-2933. A live person answers. We’ll ask what you are seeing before we talk price, because a leak on the north slope tells a different story than one on the south.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS roof systems have distinct failure patterns in South Florida. We have pulled enough of them apart to know where they let go first, and most of it comes down to how the original flashing was set against the tile or shingle.

• CWS barrel tile roof systems with sidewall flashing failures. The metal step flashing against dormer and chimney walls corrodes at the nail line first, especially on Hollywood homes within two miles of the Intracoastal. We see pin-hole perforations that look like a bad paint job but are actually the flashing failing from salt-driven electrolysis. Our fix is removal down to the underlayment, new flashing set in polyurethane sealant, and replacement tile reset with a bond that will not lift in a 120 mph gust.
• CWS flat roof membrane laps pulling apart at the parapet. On the flat roof sections we see across Emerald Hills and Hollywood Lakes, CWS membrane seams at parapet walls open up when the original adhesive cures hard and the membrane shrinks in the heat. The tell is a hairline crack running the length of the seam, weeping during the afternoon downpour but dry by evening. We strip the seam, prep both faces, and set a new lap with a two-part adhesive rated for standing water. No coating over the top to hide the problem, which is what we have seen from some patch jobs.
• CWS skylight curb rot at the roof deck. The curb frames on older CWS skylights were set directly on the deck without a proper cricket on the uphill side, and twenty years of Hollywood rain pools against that wood until it turns to sponge. The skylight itself is usually fine. We pull the unit, rebuild the curb with pressure-treated lumber and stainless fasteners, set a new aluminum curb cap, and re-set the skylight with fresh gaskets. You keep your glass, we replace what rotted.
• CWS roof-to-wall transitions on two-story Hollywood homes. Where the roof plane dies into a second-story wall, CWS relied on a single counter-flashing strip, and once that strip pulls away from the stucco, water tracks straight down the wall cavity. Homeowners see a water stain on the ceiling inside, not on the roof outside. We open the transition, set a proper reglet with sealant and new counter-flashing, and patch the stucco to match. That is the repair that stops the stain for good.
• CWS tile underlayment failing at the valleys. In Hollywood’s older neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills and the Lakes, CWS roofs from the 1990s have valley metal that has rusted through under the tile. The tiles look fine from the ground. The leak only shows during a hard, wind-driven rain when water is pushed sideways. We pull the valley tiles, replace the metal with a heavier gauge, set the tile back, and point the joints so the valley sheds water the way it was supposed to when the roof was new.

Our CWS Roof Repair Process

We measure every CWS job the same way, whether it is a small flashing repair or a full valley replacement. The process keeps the work straight and the bill honest.

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We ask what you are seeing, where the leak shows, and how long it has been doing it. We do not take your credit card over the phone for a diagnosis, and we do not send a salesperson who gets paid on replacement volume.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and the interior together. The water stain inside the house tells us as much as the roof surface does. We map the path of the water, then get on the roof and confirm where it is entering. You get a written line-item repair quote, not a verbal number that changes when the work starts.
3. 3
   Parts decision on paper. For CWS tile and flashing, we use manufacturer-specific materials where the warranty of the repair depends on it. Where the original CWS component is no longer made or is known to be a weak point, we tell you that plainly and quote a better material side by side so you see the difference in writing.
4. 4
   The repair, done right the first time. We strip the failed material to the point of good substrate, prep it properly, and set the new material with the right fasteners and sealants. No shortcuts, no coating over a rotten deck, no hiding a bad flashing under a pile of mastic.
5. 5
   Water test before we come down. We run water on the repaired area from the top of the slope down for a full ten minutes while a second tech checks the underside and the interior. If it passes, we leave the roof clean and the driveway swept.
6. 6
   The guarantee in writing. Every CWS repair is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. That is the entire promise, and we have stood behind it for years of serving South Broward.

What CWS Roof Repair Costs in Hollywood

Most CWS roof repairs in Hollywood land in these ranges. The wide spread is real, because the difference between replacing a piece of step flashing and rebuilding a rotted skylight curb is hundreds of dollars in materials and hours on the roof.

• Minor flashing repair (single wall transition): $350-$650
• Skylight curb rebuild and re-set: $700-$1,200
• Valley metal replacement on a CWS tile roof: $800-$1,400
• Membrane seam repair at a parapet: $500-$900
• Full CWS roof inspection with written report: $189, credited toward any repair over $500

What moves the price is access, the condition of the underlying deck, and whether we can reuse the existing tile or need to source matching CWS tile from a local supplier. We do not mark up materials for the sake of it, and the quote you approve is the bill you pay. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate on CWS work, and we will have a tech walk your roof before we talk numbers.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We are not the cheapest bid in Hollywood, and we will not pretend to be. We are the company that fixes the CWS roof the first time and writes down what we did, so the next tech who gets on that roof knows exactly what was touched and why. Our founder Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, spent weekends with his father resealing jalousie frames against whatever the Atlantic sent, and has been reading roof and window openings in South Broward for going on three decades. He still answers questions from homeowners who call about a repair we did years ago.

Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and they work on your roof the way they would work on their own mother’s. The Done Right Promise covers every CWS repair in writing, and The Keystone Standard means the manufacturer warranty layers are registered before the truck leaves your driveway. We also work across the other brands Hollywood homeowners carry, including PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. If your CWS repair reveals a neighboring flashing issue from a different manufacturer, we can handle that without calling a second company. One crew, one standard, one bill. Call (863) 334-2933 and we will be there when we say.
