How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds some of the most specified impact-rated systems in South Florida, but roof-level failures follow patterns we see again and again in Fountainebleau. Here’s what actually goes wrong and what we do about it.
- ES Windows Series 6000 skylight curb flashing separation. The Series 6000 uses a low-profile curb that works beautifully when the roof deck is dead flat. Older Fountainebleau homes, especially those with barrel tile or worn shingle around the curb, settle unevenly, and the flashing lifts at the corners. We remove the old sealant, reset the curb with fresh flashing and butyl tape, and re-anchor the frame so it moves with the roof instead of against it.
- Series 4000 fixed roof window weeping at the top corners. When we see water staining on the ceiling below a Series 4000, it’s almost always a failed header flashing, not the glass unit. Miami’s summer storms hit the top edge of a roof window hard, and the factory flashing can’t always keep up after a decade. We replace the header with a stepped flashing cut to the actual roof profile, which is the fix ES Windows owners in Fountainebleau needed before the next named storm arrives.
- Impact glass fogging on ES Windows roof glazing. ES Windows doesn’t make roof glazing anymore for every legacy line, and some older units have seals that give out in Fountainebleau’s humidity cycle. When the glass fogs, the culprit is a broken seal that lets moisture into the air space. Depending on the unit, we either replace the insulated glazing package or, if the frame is still sound, the entire sash. We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your specific window.
- Weep hole clogs on ES Windows Series 3000 clerestory windows. Clerestory windows sit high, catch debris from nearby trees, and the weep holes clog. Water backs up, paint peels, and eventually the interior sill rots. We clear the weep system, replace damaged weatherstripping, and on older Series 3000 frames we’ll add drainage channels if the original design didn’t include enough for Fountainebleau’s rain volume.
- Warped or cracked flashing around ES Windows roof-integrated transoms. Some Fountainebleau homes have ES Windows transoms set directly into the roof plane, and the weakest link is always the corner flashing. UV exposure and thermal cycling crack the metal, then wind-driven rain finds the gap. We fabricate replacement flashing on site or order the correct profile, and treat every seam with sealant rated for South Florida salt air.
Our ES Windows Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call and inspection. We answer live, 24/7. You tell us what you’re seeing: a stain, a drip, a draft. We schedule a visit, and our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to get on the roof in Fountainebleau.
- 2
Diagnosis. We trace the leak to its source, not just the visible symptom. That means pulling back flashing, checking the curb, and testing the seal with a water spray when needed.
- 3
Parts decision. If the factory part is the right call, we order it. If a quality aftermarket flashing or seal performs equal or better at a fairer price, we tell you honestly and let you choose.
- 4
The repair. We do the work, clean the work area, and photograph every step. You’ll see what we saw.
- 5
Water test and walkaround. We simulate rain, check for any residual moisture, and walk the roof with you if you want to see the fix yourself.
- 6
The guarantee. Every repair carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Period.

FAQs
No, independent repair done with proper flashing, sealants, and care typically preserves the remaining manufacturer coverage, though ES Windows warranty terms do vary by product line and age. We’ll review the specifics of your unit before we touch anything so you know where you stand. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk you through it.
We answer live around the clock, and for active leaks we work you into the schedule quickly, often within a day or two in Fountainebleau. A real person picks up when you call (727) 620-6983, not a call center.
Both, depending on what’s right for the job. For curbs, flashings, and weatherstripping, we often use quality aftermarket components that match or beat the factory spec under Fountainebleau’s storm conditions. For glazing units, we use the correct insulated glass package for your series. You’ll always know exactly which parts we’re using and why before we start.
In most Fountainebleau homes, flashing, seal, and weep problems are repairable without replacing the unit. The exceptions are frames with structural rot, cracked glazing, or failed impact rating tests after major storm damage. We’ll give you an honest read, and we won’t sell a replacement if a repair is the better call.
No. We write the line-item quote, you approve it, and that’s the number. If we find something unexpected during the repair, we stop, explain it, and get your approval before doing anything else. That’s been the Winslow way since 2011. Call (727) 620-6983 to schedule your free estimate.
