This page is for Fountainebleau homeowners who have a CWS roof system and want a repair company that treats the brand with respect, understands its specific failure patterns, and won’t hand them a vague invoice. We’ve worked on enough CWS roofs across this neighborhood to know what goes wrong, what it costs, and when it’s smarter to repair than replace.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CWS roofs in Fountainebleau tend to fail in predictable ways, and after years of repairs we can usually diagnose the issue before we even put a ladder up. Here are the five failure modes we see most often on these systems in this neighborhood:
- Penetration seal breakdown around vents and curbs. CWS roof systems rely on factory-fabricated penetration boots and sealant details, and Fountainebleau’s heat plus afternoon thunderstorms put real stress on those seals. The symptom is usually a slow drip near a bathroom vent or AC curb that only shows up after a heavy rain. We strip the old sealant, inspect the boot for UV cracking, and re-seal with a UV-stable product that actually bonds to CWS’s membrane chemistry.
- Seam lifting on mechanically fastened CWS panels. Over time, thermal expansion and contraction causes the overlaps on CWS standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels to work loose. You’ll see a seam that’s raised slightly, or hear a faint rattle on windy days. We re-secure the seam with correctly-sized fasteners, check for stressed metal, and apply a compatible seam sealant before reinstalling any trim.
- Corrosion at dissimilar metal contact points. This one shows up when CWS panels are installed with fasteners or flashing from a different metal than the panel itself. In Fountainebleau’s humid, salt-adjacent air, galvanic corrosion eats the weaker metal first. We’ve fixed more than a few roofs where the panel was fine but the screws had rotted out. The fix is removing the corroded fasteners, cleaning the area, and reinstalling with the proper compatible fasteners that won’t restart the reaction.
- Damaged closure strips and eave trim after wind events. CWS roofs use foam closure strips at the eaves and ridge to keep water and pests out. After a strong storm rolls through Fountainebleau, those strips can get dislodged or chewed up. The symptom is usually daylight visible under the eave edge or debris accumulating under the panels. We replace the closure strips with the correct profile and re-secure the trim so it’s flush and functional.
- Failed lap sealant at panel transitions. Where CWS panels change direction - at hips, valleys, and transitions - factory lap sealant is the first thing to break down after ten or fifteen years of Miami sun. The failure looks like a hairline crack in the sealant bead or slight discoloration where UV has degraded the material. We remove the old sealant, clean the lap area, and apply a high-solids seam sealant rated for metal roof laps, then tool it smooth so water can’t pond on it.
Our CWS Roof Repair Process
When you call us about a CWS roof in Fountainebleau, here’s exactly what happens, from the first phone call to the final cleanup:
- 1
You call (727) 620-6983. A live person answers, asks where in Fountainebleau you are and what you’re seeing, and schedules a site visit. No voicemail loops, no call center.
- 2
We inspect and photograph everything. A background-checked technician walks the roof, documents the condition, and takes pictures of every problem area. We want you to see what we see.
- 3
We make a parts decision with you. For CWS systems still under warranty, we use manufacturer-compatible components and document everything for a future claim. For out-of-warranty roofs, we give you the choice between OEM-spec materials and quality aftermarket equivalents, with honest pricing on both.
- 4
You get a written line-item estimate. No verbal ballparks. You’ll see every material, every labor hour, and every fastener on paper before you approve anything.
- 5
We do the repair, test it, and photograph the result. After the work is done, we water-test the repaired area when possible and walk the whole roof to make sure nothing else is brewing.
- 6
We clean up and stand behind it. No leftover fasteners, no debris in the yard, no “we’ll send a bill later.” And the Done Right Promise applies: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
What CWS Roof Repair Costs in Fountainebleau
Based on the CWS roofs we’ve repaired across Fountainebleau, here’s where pricing lands:
- Small penetration re-seal (1-3 vents, pipes, or small curbs): $450 - $900
- Seam repair and re-securing (10-20 linear feet of panel overlap): $700 - $1,400
- Fastener and corrosion remediation at a localized area: $600 - $1,300
- Closure strip and trim replacement at eaves or ridge: $500 - $1,200
- Lap sealant removal and replacement at transitions: $800 - $1,700
- Multi-issue repair (two or more of the above on the same roof): $1,500 - $2,800
What moves the price is access, roof pitch, how much damaged material has to come off, and whether we’re matching an in-warranty CWS specification. A single-story Fountainebleau home with a 4/12 pitch is simpler than a two-story with steep sections. Every estimate is free, every price is fixed before we start, and standing offers apply: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside the county. Call (727) 620-6983 for your exact number.
Why Fountainebleau Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CWS Work
Winslow Windows & Doors has been in this business since 2011, owned and operated by Ed Winslow, who grew up a few blocks from Tamiami Park and still lives in the same Fountainebleau zip code he was raised in. That means the CWS roof we repair this week belongs to a neighbor, not a job ticket. Every technician who rolls up is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s climbing onto your roof before the truck parks. We answer the phone 24/7, and “the office” is a real address with a real license number. We also work across the full exterior: CWS is our specialty here, but we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and more. That multi-brand depth matters when a repair touches windows, doors, or trim alongside the roof. My name’s on the door - literally. That means I answer for every job we do.
FAQs
No, as long as the repair uses compatible materials and doesn’t alter the original installation in a way the warranty prohibits. We document every repair with photos and a written description so you have a paper trail if you ever need to file a claim. If your CWS system is still under warranty, we’ll flag anything that should go through the manufacturer before we touch it.
Most Fountainebleau CWS repairs are scheduled within five to seven business days, and we’ll always tell you the honest timeline when you call. If you have an active leak, we’ll prioritize getting a temporary seal in place so the house isn’t taking water while we schedule the full repair. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll give you a real answer for your specific roof.
That depends on the panel profile, the color, and how old the roof is. CWS has used several panel profiles over the years, and some older colors are no longer in production. When an exact match isn’t available, we’ll source a color that blends and tell you upfront exactly what you’re getting. If a full panel replacement is needed, we’ll walk you through whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
If the roof is under twelve years old and the problem is localized - a bad penetration, a lifted seam, failed sealant - repair is almost always the smarter money. If the roof is approaching twenty years and we’re seeing widespread corrosion, multiple failed seams, and brittle sealant everywhere, replacement starts to make more sense. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way, not whichever option makes us more money. Call (727) 620-6983 for a straight answer on your roof.
No trip charge inside our home county. You’ll get a written estimate after the inspection, and you can apply it to the repair if you decide to move forward. Even if you just want a second opinion on a quote you already have, that’s free too - we’ll come out, look at the roof, and tell you what we’d charge for the same scope.
