AfterES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation in Fountainebleau: What to Know First
ES Windows roof replacement and installation in Fountainebleau typically runs $14,500 to $28,000 for a full tear-off on an average single-family home, with most jobs completed in 3 to 6 working days once materials land. That’s the honest range we quote at Winslow Windows & Doors, and we stand behind it with a fixed-price contract, not a handshake estimate that inflates after the tear-off. If you own ES Windows products and your roof is nearing the end of its life, this page explains how we handle the job differently than the truck-and-ladder crews working this side of Miami-Dade. Call (727) 620-6983 and you’ll get a person, not a phone tree.
This page is for Fountainebleau homeowners who have ES Windows installed and want a roofing contractor who understands how the two systems interact. If you’re west of the Palmetto, south of Fontainebleau Boulevard, or anywhere near Tamiami Park, you’re in our home territory, and Ed Winslow has been working these blocks since before his name was on the truck. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, but that independence is exactly why we’ll tell you the truth about what your roof needs. More on that below.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We’ve pulled apart enough ES Windows installations across Fountainebleau to know exactly where water finds its way in and how a bad roof job makes window failures worse. Here are the five failures we see most often, in the words a homeowner would use to describe them.
- Water staining around the top frame after a roof tear-off. This is the most common ES Windows failure we see in Fountainebleau, and it’s rarely the window itself. The ES Windows aluminum frame line relies on a factory-installed drip cap that has to be integrated with the roof-to-wall flashing. When a roofing crew pries off old shingles and doesn’t re-flash to the ES Windows receiver channels, water rides the fascia and pours into the frame track. We pull the flashing, reseat it to the ES Windows receiver, and test with gauged water before we call the roof done.
- Condensation between panes that appears right after a roof job. ES Windows’ insulated glass units, especially on large fixed picture windows, can show interior fogging when roof work strips the exterior shade line. What’s actually happening isn’t immediate glass failure; it’s that the tear-off removed heat-blocking layers that were keeping the glass at a stable temperature. The sudden thermal swing after a roof replacement causes the ES Windows seal to flex. We check the argon fill and seal integrity, and when the unit is truly compromised, we replace with OEM-spec glass rather than patching it with aftermarket and pretending it’ll hold through August.
- Sticky or hard-to-open sashes after a roof replacement shakes the frame. ES Windows casement and awning lines use a corrosion-resistant stainless steel operator mechanism, but it’s mounted to the frame, not the structure. When a roof crew walks the wall line hard, frames shift a few millimeters and the operator binds. We remove the sash, reset the operator to the ES Windows spec, and adjust the stay arm so it opens like it did the day it was installed.
- Leaks at the head of the window after a shingle-to-tile conversion in Fountainebleau. When homeowners upgrade from shingle to tile roofing, the new roof deck profile changes the pitch point where the wall meets the roofline. ES Windows’ fixed louver and picture lines are blind-mounted, meaning the top flange is hidden behind the exterior finish. If the tile installer doesn’t notch the tile properly around the ES Windows drain holes, water holds against the frame and eventually weeps inside. We work with the roofer to cut the tile profile cleanly and seal the penetration points.
- The “ES Windows gap” along the bottom rail that invites termites and water during the roof open period. This one’s specific to Fountainebleau’s older concrete block homes. During a tear-off, exterior walls are exposed for a day or two, and ES Windows frames with missing or aged bottom wedges let wind-driven rain and termites into the chase. Before any roof work starts, we inspect every ES Windows unit on the wall, replace the bottom wedges, and seal around the receivers. It takes an hour, and it saves a February termite bill.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
We don’t start a Fountainebleau roof job without looking at every window on the house, and we don’t finish one until the ES Windows units have been tested as hard as the roof itself. Here’s the process, step by step.
- 1
Call and walkthrough. You call (727) 620-6983. Ed or a senior tech walks the property with you, checks the ES Windows frames for pre-existing stress, and maps the roof-to-wall flashing points that will need protection during the tear-off.
- 2
Fixed-price written estimate. We hand you a line-item price that locks material and labor. If the price changes after we open the roof, that change is on us, not you. Always has been, always will be.
- 3
Protection and prep. We mask, board, or remove and reset ES Windows sashes as needed. We install temporary weather barriers over any window that could see water or debris during the tear-off.
- 4
Tear-off and deck inspection. We strip the old roof, inspect the deck, replace any sheathing that’s soft or termite-damaged, and re-flash every window and wall penetration to ES Windows receiver channels.
- 5
Roof install and window re-seat. We install the new roof system, re-seat every ES Windows unit we touched, adjust sashes and operators, and run a full water and air test on the window-to-roof interfaces.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough. We magnet-sweep, haul, and walk you through what we did. You sign off only when you’ve tested the windows yourself and heard Ed’s voice on the other end of the phone for any follow-up question.

Why Fountainebleau Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
Ed Winslow grew up a few blocks from Tamiami Park, and he still lives in the same zip code he was raised in. That means the homes we work on are neighbors’ homes, not job tickets. When you call Winslow Windows & Doors about ES Windows roof replacement in Fountainebleau, you’re calling a company whose owner will drive past your house every day for the rest of his life.

FAQs
Yes, we replace roofs in Fountainebleau without damaging ES Windows every week. The key is protecting the window frames during tear-off and re-flashing to the ES Windows receiver channels at every wall penetration. We’ve done it on homes with original 1990s ES Windows aluminum frames and on newer ES Windows impact-rated lines, and we test the window-to-roof interface before we leave the job. Call (727) 620-6983 for an estimate that includes ES Windows protection as a line item, not an afterthought.
It can, and that’s why we’re careful. ES Windows warranties cover the window, not the roof, but some installations require the flashing to stay intact to keep the warranty valid. We have experience with ES Windows warranty documentation and will tell you if your roof job requires specific flashing or sealing steps to avoid voiding the window warranty. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, so we have no reason to hide warranty fine print from you. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk through it with your specific window model.
Most full roof replacements with ES Windows re-flashing take 3 to 6 working days from tear-off to final cleanup. Weather can add days, especially during hurricane season, but we don’t leave a roof open overnight unless there’s a confirmed dry window ahead. We’ll schedule your ES Windows sash re-seat and operator checks on the same days as the roof work so you’re not living with taped-up windows. Call (727) 620-6983 for a schedule based on your home’s exact size and window count.
For glass and moving parts, we use ES Windows-spec OEM components whenever they need to be replaced, especially on insulated glass units and stainless steel operators. For flashing, sealants, and exterior trim that integrates with the roof, we use building products made for Miami-Dade’s wind and rain conditions, often from brands that outperform the original. We’ll never put an aftermarket insulated glass unit into an ES Windows frame without telling you first. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate on your specific repair.
Sometimes, yes, and we’ll tell you honestly when it makes sense financially and structurally. If your ES Windows are 20-plus years old with cloudy glass or leaking frames, doing both projects at once can cut labor costs because the exterior flashing and wall penetrations only have to be opened once. If the windows are still sound, there’s no reason to touch them. We’ll inspect your ES Windows during the free roof estimate and give you a straight answer. Call (727) 620-6983 to schedule the walkthrough.
