ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Pompano Beach: What to Know First
We repair and replace ES Windows units on shingle, tile, and metal roofs throughout Pompano Beach as an independent ES Windows service provider. Most shingle-roof work is completed in a single visit; tile and metal roof jobs typically take two to three visits because we remove roof material carefully, replace or reset the window, and rebuild the flashing so water has no path in. Pricing is honest and itemized before we start, and every job carries the Done Right Promise.
This page is written for the homeowner who has ES Windows in a Pompano Beach house and needs to know what is wrong, what it costs, and whether the fix will hold. If you would rather talk than read, call (863) 591-8673 and a live person answers.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows are built for hurricane country, but salt air, sun, and the weight of roof work around them expose weak points. Here is what we actually see on service calls across Pompano Beach.
- ES Windows 9000 Series flush-mount frames loosen at the sill on shingle roofs. Shingle roofs flex as the deck expands and contracts through Broward County’s wet-dry cycles. The 9000 Series sits tight to the deck, so movement translates directly into the frame. Over five to seven years, the sill fasteners back out and water follows the gaps. We reset the frame, refasten to the deck, and rebuild the shingle step flashing so the seal is mechanical, not just caulked.
- ES Windows 8000 Series corner welds hairline-crack under tile roof weight. Tile roofs are heavy. When tile is replaced around an 8000 Series unit, the added weight and the vibration from tile cutting can stress the corner welds on the frame. A hairline crack at the miter lets water into the frame channel, and the next rain shows up as a stain on the interior drywall. We inspect the weld under light, repair with a matching aluminum patch when possible, and if the frame is compromised we quote a full unit replacement with the correct load rating for tile.
- ES Windows casement operators bind after metal roof replacement. Metal roofs change the thermal profile of the wall opening. The frame of an ES casement unit will expand and contract faster than it did under shingle or tile. The operator arm, which is a cast zinc component on most ES casement lines, grinds against the track as the frame moves. We replace the operator with the OEM part when the window is still under warranty, or a DB-heavy-duty aftermarket operator when it is not. The fix is not just the part; we also re-torque the frame fasteners so the unit is square in the opening again.
- ES Windows horizontal roller tracks clog with roofing debris and salt film. During any reroof, granules from shingles, tile dust, and metal shavings get blown into the track. In Pompano Beach, that debris mixes with salt-laden humidity into a paste that stops the rollers. Homeowners call thinking the roller is dead. Most of the time the roller is fine; the track is loaded. We flush the track, clean the rollers with a non-corrosive solvent, and replace the wool pile if the debris has worn it down. Simple fix, but it has to be done before the debris scores the track.
- ES Windows fixed picture units lose their sealant bond around the perimeter on all roof types. The factory sealant between the glass unit and the frame breaks down faster in Pompano Beach than the manufacturer’s literature suggests, because the UV index here runs higher than the national standard the testing uses. The symptom is condensation between the panes that never dries. That is a failed insulating glass unit. We remove the glazing bead, measure the exact thickness, and order a replacement IGU from a local fabricator we have worked with for years. Then we re-seal with a structural glazing sealant rated for coastal Florida exposure.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Here is how a typical ES Windows job runs from first call to final walkthrough.
- 1
You call and describe what you are seeing. We ask about the roof type, the age of the windows, and whether any recent roof work happened. That last question solves a lot of mysteries before we even arrive.
- 2
We inspect the unit and the roof interface. One of our technicians measures the frame for square, checks the flashings and the roof deck, and opens the unit to see how it operates. We take photos and show you what we found.
- 3
We quote the work on paper. You see line items for parts, labor, flashing, and any roof work needed. OEM parts listed separately from aftermarket so you know exactly what you are paying for and why. The price on the quote is the price on the bill.
- 4
We do the repair or replacement. For shingle roofs, this usually happens in one visit. For tile and metal, we stage the work so the roof opening is never exposed overnight. Flashing is rebuilt, not reused, wherever the water path matters.
- 5
We test the unit and the seal. Water test on the exterior, operate the unit through its full range, check the interior for gaps. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 6
We register the warranty layers in writing. Both manufacturer warranty layers, with durations stated, are registered before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and we do not skip it.
What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Pompano Beach

What moves the price: roof type, frame condition, whether the unit is still under manufacturer warranty, and whether we find rot in the deck when we open the opening. That last one is the one nobody likes, but we will show you photos before we spend another dollar. Estimates are free. Call (863) 591-8673 and we will put a number in writing.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We are not the cheapest bid in town, and we are not trying to be. We are the company you call when the first fix did not hold. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 after too many years watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties get written off as the homeowner’s problem. That is why every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, no fine print and no arguing.
Our techs know ES Windows because they work on them every week, along with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. That matters because the fix for an ES casement is not the same as the fix for a PGT casement, and a technician who only knows one brand will guess on the other. We do not guess. We measure twice, quote on paper, and register warranty layers before we leave. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will never sit on hold listening to a voicemail tree.
FAQs
No, not if the work is done correctly. We are an independent ES Windows service provider, which means we are not selling you on manufacturer authorization. The warranty on most ES lines covers the glass and the frame under specific conditions. Our work is documented, photographed, and registered in writing. If the warranty applies, we help you claim it. If it does not, we tell you that before we start, not after. If it is not in writing, it is not a warranty. Call (863) 591-8673 and we will walk you through what your serial number actually covers.
Most of the time, yes. Failed glass, worn operators, jammed rollers, and dried perimeter sealant are all repairable without pulling the frame out of the roof opening. Full replacement is only necessary when the frame itself is compromised, which happens more often on tile roofs where the weight has been too much for the aluminum. We will always show you the difference and quote both paths when it is a real choice.
Most OEM parts ship within five to seven business days. We keep common components in stock at our local shop, including operators, rollers, and glazing beads for the ES series we see most often. If you are in a bind, we can usually get a unit weather-sealed and functional the same visit, then return with the permanent part when it arrives. The temporary fix is always disclosed in writing so you know exactly what you are getting.
Yes. Metal roofs are the most particular of the three because the flashing has to match the panel profile, and the frame has to move with the metal as it heats and cools. We have done enough metal-roof window work across Pompano Beach to know which flashing details fail and which hold. If the original installer got it wrong, we rebuild it right.
Most shingle-roof repairs are done in one visit, usually two to four hours including testing. Tile and metal roof jobs take longer because the roof material has to be removed and reset around the window properly, so expect two to three visits. We schedule the work so your roof opening is never left exposed overnight. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate and a realistic timeline for your specific roof.
