ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation in Hollywood: What to Know First
We replace and install roofs on homes with ES Windows products throughout Hollywood, and most jobs are completed within three to five working days once materials land. The honest price posture is this: a roof replacement on a Hollywood home with ES Windows typically runs between $9,800 and $18,500 depending on roof size, decking condition, and the flashing work required around existing window and door openings. We are an independent ES Windows service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and that independence means we fix what is actually wrong instead of steering you toward whatever the factory wants to sell. Call (863) 334-2933 and we will send a technician who measures before he quotes.
This page is written for Hollywood homeowners who own ES Windows products and need roof replacement or installation work done without damaging the windows and doors already in place. If you have lived in your house for twenty years and intend to stay another twenty, you already know that a bad roof job leaks sideways into your window framing. That is the problem we solve.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows products have earned a reputation in South Florida for clean aluminum lines and impact-rated glass. They also fail in predictable ways when a roof has been leaking or when the flashing around a window buck was never set right in the first place. Here is what we see on Hollywood jobs:
- ES Windows Series 7000 and 8000 aluminum frames with corroded sill tracks. These are the workhorse ES Windows lines in older Hollywood ranch homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. Salt air off the Atlantic works its way into the track channels, and when a roof leak drips down the wall cavity, the track holds that water against the aluminum. The frame pits, the roller bearings grind, and the sash stops sliding true. The fix is removing the sash, cleaning or replacing the roller assemblies, and treating the track with a corrosion inhibitor before reinstalling. We do not caulk over the rot and call it done.
- ES Windows impact-rated casement windows with failed gaskets at the meeting rail. These are common on newer Hollywood construction where ES Windows were specified for wind-load ratings. The gasket at the meeting rail is a compression seal, and once it takes a set after five or six hurricane seasons, it stops sealing. Water drives through during heavy rain and runs down the interior jamb. The owner’s ES Windows manual never mentions this, but every Hollywood roofer who has worked around these windows has seen it. We replace the gasket with OEM-spec material rather than a generic foam strip that will fail again in two years.
- ES Windows Series 4500 sliders with misaligned interlock hooks. When a roof settles or a truss shifts after decades of thermal cycling, the interlock hooks on these sliders pull apart slightly. The window still closes, but it no longer interlocks, which in turn means it no longer drains the way the factory intended. Water sits in the lower track, finds a pinhole, and rots the sill behind the interior trim. We reset the sash alignment and, where the frame has racked, we shim the rough opening back to square before rehanging the sash. “Measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.”
- ES Windows fixed-lite units with blown seals at the perimeter glazing tape. Fixed lites are the ones most often damaged during a roof replacement, because they are set directly into the wall and any pressure from above transfers straight into the glass unit. When a roofer drops a bundle of shingles on the roof deck without thinking, the shock travels down the wall, and the glazing tape lets go. The window does not crack. It just starts fogging six months later. We replace the glazing tape and reset the unit to a clean, true opening.
- ES Windows Series 6000 awning windows with stripped operator hardware. Awning windows rely on a scissor arm and gear mechanism that fails when the window has been forced open against a swollen frame. On Hollywood homes where the roof overhang was too short to begin with, rainwater runs directly down the face of the wall, swells the frame, and puts the operator under load every time someone cranks it. We replace the operator assembly, plane the frame where it has swelled, and adjust the overhang deflection where the client is willing to address the actual cause.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here is how a full roof replacement or new roof installation works on a Hollywood home where ES Windows are already in place or will be installed as part of the job:
- 1
The call. You call (863) 334-2933. A live person answers. We schedule a technician to come out, measure the roof, and assess every window and door opening that the roof work will touch.
- 2
The walkthrough. The technician measures the roof deck, checks the condition of the underlayment, and inspects the flashing where the roof meets the window bucks. On an ES Windows home, we look specifically at the head flashing above each window to confirm it was lapped correctly at the original install. If it was not, we note it on the quote.
- 3
The parts decision. For ES Windows frames and sashes that need repair or replacement flashings, we write the quote with OEM parts where the warranty is active and high-grade aftermarket parts where the factory product is no longer cost-effective. You see both options on paper, side by side, before any work begins. No surprise line items at the end.
- 4
The work. We strip the old roof, replace damaged decking, install the new underlayment and roofing system, and reflash every window and door opening properly. Where ES Windows frames have been damaged by the old roof leak, we replace those frames or sashes at the same time. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. They treat your house the way they would treat their own mother’s.
- 5
The test. After the roof is on and the flashing is set, we run water over every window buck and door threshold and watch what happens. If water gets in, we do not load the truck. We fix it.
- 6
The paperwork. Both manufacturer warranty layers on any new materials are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. The Done Right Promise covers our installation work. If it is not done right, we make it right. No arguing.
What ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Hollywood
Here are the numbers we see most often in Hollywood, with EC Florida components and materials included:
| Work Scope | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Full roof replacement, asphalt shingle, up to 2,000 sq ft, flashing reworked around existing ES Windows | $9,800 - $14,500 |
| Full roof replacement, tile or standing seam, up to 2,000 sq ft, with ES Windows flashing reworked | $15,000 - $22,000 |
| New roof installation on an addition, including integration with existing ES Windows | $7,500 - $12,000 |
| Replacing rotted framing or sill work where a roof leak has damaged an ES Windows frame | $1,200 - $3,800 per opening |
| Replacing an ES Windows sash or fixed lite that was damaged during a previous roof job | $600 - $2,800 per unit, depending on series and glass package |
What moves the price: the condition of the existing decking, the number of window and door openings that need new flashing, and whether any ES Windows frames have to come out and be reset. If the old roof was installed over a single layer without a proper drip edge, that gets corrected during our job, not left as a hidden surprise. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate. We will write the number down and you can hold us to it.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We have been in South Broward long enough to know that a Hollywood roof does not fail the way a roof in Orlando fails, and ES Windows do not fail the way PGT or CGI windows fail. They each have their own weak points, and our technicians have seen all of them. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we service CWS and ECO Window Systems as well. That breadth matters on a roof job: if a leak has killed one ES Windows sash and the client wants to know whether replacing it with a current PGT unit makes more sense, we can quote both on paper and explain the difference in plain language.
Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Durations are stated. No fine print that covers neither. Dale Kessler has been measuring, setting, and troubleshooting windows and doors in South Broward for going on three decades, and the work he is best known for is installation that passes reinspection without a callback. That reputation was built one roof and one window at a time. Call (863) 334-2933. We will be there when we say.
FAQs
Yes. We are an independent ES Windows service provider, which means we are not bound by any factory program or sales quota. We fix what is broken and quote OEM parts where the warranty covers them, alongside quality aftermarket parts where the factory product is no longer cost-effective. You see both options on paper before any work begins. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule an inspection.
It can, if the roofer disturbs the window flashing, drops a bundle of shingles near a fixed lite, or leaves a gap that lets water run into the frame. That is a major reason we handle the flashing and window integration on a roof job ourselves rather than letting a roofing crew without glazing experience touch your ES Windows units. We document the flashing condition before and after the roof work, and we photograph the openings so there is a record if a warranty claim comes up later. Call (863) 334-2933 and we will walk you through what we check.
Most full roof replacements in Hollywood take three to five working days from tear-off to final inspection, assuming the decking is in reasonable shape and the weather cooperates. If multiple ES Windows frames need to be removed and reset as part of the job, add a day. We give you a written schedule before we start and we hold to it. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate.
In most cases, yes. ES Windows has changed its hardware specifications over the years, and older Series 4500 and 6000 windows sometimes require adaptation rather than a direct part swap. We keep a stock of common ES Windows roller assemblies, operators, and glazing gaskets on the truck, and we know which aftermarket equivalents hold up to Hollywood salt air. If a part is no longer made, we tell you and we quote a retrofit solution that fits the existing frame rather than selling you a whole new window. Call (863) 334-2933 to describe what you are seeing and we will give you a straight answer.
If your roof is over twenty years old, a South Florida hurricane season is the expensive way to find out it needed replacing. A failed roof leaks into wall cavities, and in a Hollywood home with ES Windows, that water runs into the frame tracks and rots the sill behind the interior trim. Repairs buy time. A full replacement with proper flashing around every window and door opening solves the problem. We will inspect the roof, tell you how much life is left in it, and give you a written quote either way. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate.
