ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Miami with most jobs completed within 5 to 10 business days once parts are on hand. Pricing runs honest and specific: shingle roofs on a typical Miami single-story home start around $9,000 to $14,000, tile runs $15,000 to $28,000, and standing-seam metal lands between $18,000 and $35,000, depending on square footage, pitch, and decking condition. No vague ranges, no change-order surprises after the tear-off starts.
This page is for homeowners who already have ES Windows products and are now replacing or repairing the roof above them. You want someone who understands how your windows tie into your roofline, flashing, and water management. Call (863) 946-5039 and you’ll get Ed Winslow or a real person on this end, not a call center.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Around Miami, we see the same ES Windows-related roofing issues repeat themselves neighborhood after neighborhood. Here’s what actually goes wrong and what we do about it:
- Flashing separation at the head of ES Windows Series 3000 fixed units. Miami’s wet season pushes water sideways, not just down. The head flashing on Series 3000 windows sits behind the roof underlayment, and when shingle or tile roofing gets replaced by a crew that doesn’t understand the wall-to-roof transition, the flashing gets bent or torn. We see it most in Kendall and Cutler Bay homes built between 2002 and 2010. Our fix is a full head-flashing replacement with pan flashing integrated into the new underlayment, done before the finish roofing goes on.
- Tile roof reglet failure above ES Windows pocket sliders. The ES Windows sliding glass door series has a narrow top frame. On tile roofs, the reglet and counter-flashing that channels water away from that narrow frame tends to crack when tiles are lifted and reset carelessly. If your tile roof has been patched and you’re seeing water stains inside the wall above a slider, the reglet is usually the culprit. We pull the first course of tile, replace the reglet with metal, and reset every tile with the correct nail pattern.
- Metal roof oil-canning that telegraphs to ES Windows mullions. Standing-seam metal roofs expand and contract with Miami’s heat. When an existing roof wasn’t installed with proper clips, the panels flex and the movement transfers to the mullion connections where ES Windows fixed and operating units join. You’ll see hairline cracking in the stucco around the window corners. We install retrofit clips and relief seams so the roof moves on its own, not through your window framing.
- Impact-rated frame deformation around ES Windows outswing casements. ES Windows outswing casements are strong, but they’re heavy. On older Miami homes where the roof has been leaking slowly, the wall framing around the casement softens, and the weight of the sash begins pulling the frame out of square. The window gets blamed, but it’s a roofing problem. We replace the compromised framing and re-sleeve the opening while the roof is open, then rehang the window so it operates clean.
- Undersized roof-to-wall kickout flashing on ES Windows corner units. Corner windows get hit from two directions during Miami thunderstorms. If the roof-to-wall kickout flashing wasn’t extended far enough past the window corner, water runs behind the exterior finish and follows the king stud down to the sill. We fabricate extended kickouts on every job where an ES Windows corner unit sits within three feet of a roof edge. This is a detail most window-only companies never touch, and most roofers don’t know to look for.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Here’s how a roof replacement goes when ES Windows are part of the picture:
- 1
Call and schedule a walk-through. Ed or one of our senior techs comes out, walks the roof, inspects the flashing at every window and door penetration, and takes the measurements that matter. You get a written quote, not a handshake.
- 2
Parts and decking assessment. We open a section of the roof before the job starts, check the decking and wall connections, and decide what needs replacing. If you need closures, boots, or flashing profiles specific to your ES Windows product line, we source them before Day One.
- 3
Tear-off and underlayment. Miami code requires specific underlayments. We use a synthetic peel-and-stick underlayment at the eaves and in the valleys, then the proper layer for your roof type, including the full roof-to-wall runs at every ES Windows penetration.
- 4
Flashing and integration. This is where we spend the extra hour that other crews skip. Every head flashing, kickout, reglet, and mullion connection gets inspected, repaired, or replaced before finish roofing begins.
- 5
Roof install and window reset. Then we install the shingle, tile, or metal system, clean up, and go back around every window to confirm operation and seal. If a window was moving because the roof was failing, it’s now sitting solid.
- 6
Final walk-through and Done Right review. Ed walks the property with you, points out the flashing details, and explains what you’re looking at. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it means exactly what it says.
What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
You deserve numbers that survive contact with reality. Here’s where our jobs typically land:
- Asphalt shingle roof: $9,000 to $14,000 on an average Miami ranch, including underlayment, flashing replacement at up to six window or door penetrations, and disposal.
- Concrete or clay tile roof: $15,000 to $28,000. The spread depends on whether we’re doing a full re-tile or a repair-and-reset, how much decking needs replacement, and how many ES Windows penetrations require custom flashing work.
- Standing-seam metal roof: $18,000 to $35,000. Includes engineered clips properly sized for Miami wind load, plus all roof-to-wall and window flashing work.
What moves the price: roof pitch, number of planes, decking rot, accessibility, and how much flashing needs to be rebuilt around your ES Windows products. We’ll walk you through every line item before we start. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free estimate, and if you already have a written quote from another roof company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
Why Miami Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
My name is on the door. Literally. That’s all the guarantee you should need.
Ed Winslow grew up in Hialeah, where a summer storm rolling off the Everglades would find the weak spot in a roof by noon. He learned construction and glazing at Miami Dade College, then spent years on installs all over Miami-Dade before putting his name on a truck. So when we say we know how ES Windows products integrate with a roof, we’re not reading from a catalog. We’ve done the work, and we’ve undone the work other crews did wrong.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated, in business since 2011, with a published address and license number. Every tech is background-checked and arrives in uniform. And when you call, a live person answers. At 2 a.m. during a hurricane watch, it’s a real voice on our end. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing, and we service ES Windows alongside PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so if your job involves more than one product line, you’re not hiring two different crews who point fingers at each other.
FAQs
No, as long as the roofing contractor handles the flashing and integration correctly at every window and door penetration. ES Windows doesn’t void a frame or glass warranty just because the roof was replaced. But we see claims denied when a roofer removed windows to work around them or resealed frames with the wrong material. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider. We keep the windows in place, protect them during the tear-off, and re-flash around them without disturbing the factory seals.
For most Miami homes, a shingle roof replacement runs 3 to 5 working days, tile runs 7 to 10, and metal runs 10 to 15, all after materials arrive. Weather delays happen in Miami, and we schedule around them honestly. Call (863) 946-5039 and we’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start.
We use OEM parts when the manufacturer still makes the exact part and it’s the best call for the job. For some older ES Windows lines, OEM support can stretch weeks, and the original part wasn’t built for the rot or damage we’re seeing anyway. In those cases, we fabricate or source quality aftermarket flashing and hardware that matches or beats the original spec, always in a way that preserves your warranty path where one exists.
Almost always. The windows are usually not the problem; the roof and flashing are. We only recommend window replacement when the frame itself is deformed, the sash is failing, or the glass seal has blown. When that happens, we’re authorized installers for ES Windows along with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so you’re not calling another contractor.
Most jobs fall between $45 and $95 per window or door opening for flashing labor and materials, plus materials if the reglet or pan flashing has to be fabricated. Some corner units or second-story openings cost more because of access. We’ll put every opening on the quote as a line item so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Call (863) 946-5039 for an exact number, and the estimate is free.
