How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows builds a lot of high-end residential glazing, and their products show up in Oakland Park homes in a few predictable places: skylights, elevated glass walls, and roof monitors on mid-century and custom builds. Dale Kessler has seen the same failure patterns enough times to know exactly what he’s looking at when a homeowner describes the symptom. Here’s what we find, and what we do about it.

• ES Windows VS Series skylights - failed curb seal at the corners. The VS Series uses a low-profile aluminum curb, and in Oakland Park’s wet season, the corner sealant joints take a beating from thermal expansion and afternoon downpours. What starts as a small drip near the interior trim is usually the curb seal letting go at the miter. We pull the old sealant, clean the aluminum back to bright metal, re-bed the curb flashing, and re-seal with a commercial-grade product rated for South Florida UV. That’s the fix in most cases, not a new skylight.
• ES Windows Studio Series roof monitors - water pooling at the sill track. Roof-mounted glass assemblies in the Studio Series are designed to drain, but Oakland Park’s flat and low-slope roofs don’t always give them the pitch they need. If leaves and oak pollen build up in the sill track, water backs up and finds its way under the glass. We clear the drainage channels, verify the weep geometry, and when needed, shim the sill to get positive drainage. Then we test with a garden hose. If it does not run dry, it is not done.
• ES Windows custom roof glazing - failed insulating glass seals. We see this on larger custom roof panels where the sun hits the glass full-force. A failed seal shows up as interior fog between the panes. Nobody fixes that by wiping the glass. The panel comes out, the insulating glass unit gets measured and ordered to the tenth of an inch, and we reset it with new setting blocks and interior stops. We use OEM ES Windows glass when it is a current production unit. When the line has been discontinued, we source from a local fabricator in Broward County that matches the original Low-E coating and gas fill spec for spec. You will not get a mismatched panel from us.
• ES Windows frame-to-roof joint failure on sloped glazing. ES Windows sloped glazing details depend on the flashing transition between the aluminum frame and whatever the roofer installed. The most common mistake we correct is step flashing that was cut too short or sealed with a product never meant to bridge aluminum to tile or shingle. On an Oakland Park barrel-tile roof, that joint gets hit with wind-driven rain from the east. We rebuild the flashing detail with the correct step pattern, integrate it with the existing roofing, and bed it so water can only go down and out.
• ES Windows E-Series door or window header leaks presenting as roof leaks. Sometimes the call comes in as a “roof leak” and the real problem is a waterproofing failure at the rough opening, just above the ES Windows unit. Water gets in at the header and runs down the jamb, wetting the ceiling below. We strip the exterior trim, inspect the header flashing, replace the WRB where it has been torn or missed, and re-flash the opening. The window itself is usually fine. The hole in the wall was not sealed right, and that is something we know how to find.

Our ES Windows Roof Repair Process

Every ES Windows job runs the same way. It keeps surprises off the work order and our name on the phone when you call back, because we do not walk off a job that is not right.

1. 1
   You call and describe the leak or the failed glass. A live person answers, any hour. We ask where the water shows up, what the roof is made of, and when it started. We then schedule a visit. We will be there when we say.
2. 2
   Dale or one of our lead technicians walks the roof and the interior. We find the actual entry point, not just the wet spot on the ceiling. On an ES Windows roof unit, that means checking the curb, the flashing laps, the drainage channels, and the glass seal, all in one trip up the ladder.
3. 3
   We make the parts call in front of you. If the fix needs new glass, a new gasket, or a new hardware set, we show you the OEM price and the quality aftermarket option side by side on paper. You decide what goes in your house. We order it that day.
4. 4
   The repair is done to the manufacturer’s detail and to ours. Surface prep matters more than the product, which is why we clean, prime, and bed every joint rather than caulking over old sealant and hoping. If the existing flashing is wrong, we fix that too, not just the visible crack.
5. 5
   We water-test before we wrap up. A garden hose is not polite, but it does not lie. If a test stream finds a weep path, we fix it before the ladder comes off the roof.
6. 6
   You get a written invoice with the workmanship guarantee stated. Ninety days, the Done Right Promise. If the repair fails in that window, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing.

What ES Windows Roof Repair Costs in Oakland Park

Oakland Park pricing reflects the home styles in this area: barrel-tile roofs, flat and low-slope sections, older buildings with mid-century glazing, and newer custom installations. Here is what we usually quote.

• Curb seal and re-bed, single skylight: $380 to $620
• Flashing rebuild at roof-to-glass transition: $550 to $1,100 depending on the roof material and the linear footage
• Insulating glass unit replacement, ES Windows custom skylight: $600 to $1,400 depending on panel size and whether we need a crane lift or a second man to handle it safely
• Header flashing correction above an ES Windows wall unit: $450 to $850

What moves the price is access, roof pitch, and whether we are replacing glass or just rebuilding the waterproofing. We do not charge you for a diagnosis that takes ten minutes, and we do not load the bill with line items you never heard about. The quote you get is the price you pay. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate, and you will get a real number, not a starting point.

Why Oakland Park Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work

We are an independent ES Windows service provider, which means we work for the homeowner, not the manufacturer’s warranty department. That said, we handle more than a dozen window and door lines in Oakland Park, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so when a repair crosses from glass to glazing to flashing, we have the parts knowledge and the hands to do the entire job. Dale Kessler grew up off Prospect Road in Oakland Park, back when half the houses still had jalousie windows, and he learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie over twenty years ago. Today it is the same standard we started with in 2008: the Done Right Promise, the Keystone Standard with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and a live person answering the phone 24 hours a day. We do not hire a call center, and we do not schedule a second visit to finish what the first one left open. We stand behind the work, in writing, in the town where Dale grew up.
