AfterES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Myers: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows roof replacement and installation in Fort Myers, and most jobs are completed in a single visit once parts are on hand. Pricing runs honest and upfront – no line items that appear out of nowhere on the final bill. If you own ES Windows products and your roof work is coming due, call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll walk you through what you’re actually looking at.
This page is for Fort Myers homeowners who bought ES Windows specifically – usually for the engineering, the sightlines, or the salt-air performance – and who now need that roof line done right the first time. Dale Kessler and the TruePane crew have worked on ES Windows installations across Lee County long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. We’re not the cheapest bid in the room. We’re the last call you should have to make.
How ES Windows Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a well-engineered frame, but in Fort Myers the roof and wall intersection is where heat, wind, and water do their worst work. Here’s what we actually see on service calls:
- ES Windows Series 5000 fixed-picture units at the roof line – We regularly pull these on McGregor Boulevard homes from the 2000s and find the original flashing has separated from the stucco. The window isn’t leaking. The roof-to-wall transition is. Fix: we pull the trim, re-flash to current Lee County code, and remount the frame so the next roof replacement doesn’t disturb the glazing.
- Series 7000 aluminum frames with interior weep holes clogged by roof debris – After a reroof, old mortar, shingle grit, and sawdust wash down into the frame’s weep system. The water then sits inside the track and corrodes the roller assemblies on operable units. Fix: we clear the weeps, lubricate the track, and replace the rollers with quality aftermarket parts if the originals are pitted.
- ES Windows casement and awning units that bind after roof work shifts the rough opening – When a heavy tile roof is replaced, hip rafters can settle a quarter inch. That’s enough to pinch an ES frame so the sash no longer seats square. We’ve corrected dozens of these by re-shimming the frame and re-securing the installation screws rather than replacing the window.
- Failed perimeter sealants on ES Windows multi-slide doors under upper roof lines – Fort Myers afternoon sun cooks the caulk bead on south-facing roof junctions. Once the sealant cracks, wind-driven rain from afternoon storms gets behind the frame. Fix: we strip the old sealant, clean the substrate, and lay down a marine-grade sealant that actually flexes with the Florida heat, then re-seal the interior.
- ES Windows Series 9000 impact-rated frames with scratched or hazed glass from roof debris – Contractors replacing a roof over a second-story ES window sometimes scratch the outer glass with falling tiles or tools. If the glass isn’t cracked but looks fogged or streaked, it’s often not a seal failure – it’s mechanical damage to the coating. We inspect first, then quote replacement glass only when the frame and seal are still sound.
Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process
A real ES Windows job at the roof line should never start with a guess. Here’s how we run it from the first call to the final walkthrough.
- 1
We measure and photograph everything before any decision. We measure the frame, the rough opening, the roof-to-wall clearance, and the sill condition. Photos go into the job file so the homeowner sees exactly what we see.
- 2
We diagnose the failure and put it in writing. Roof leaks at window heads are often flashing failures, not frame failures. If we find a structural issue, we tell you straight and give you a written plan before any work starts.
- 3
We quote OEM and quality aftermarket side by side on paper. ES Windows parts are specific, and not all aftermarket hardware is worth buying. We’ll show you both options, the brand, the lead time, and the real difference in fit and finish.
- 4
We do the work without disturbing your roof system more than necessary. Our technicians work clean, protect the interior, and keep the work area contained. If we touch roof flashing, it’s re-secured and sealed to current code.
- 5
We test before we call it done. Every operable unit gets an open-close and lock test. Every fixed unit gets inspected for square and seated glass. Seals are checked with a water test on the exterior where it’s safe to do so.
- 6
We register the warranty and hand you the paperwork. If any part still carries manufacturer warranty, we register it in writing and state the duration. Then we walk the job with you before the truck leaves.

Why Fort Myers Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We’ve been serving Fort Myers and Lee County for more than 42 years through the heritage Dale Kessler built – first in Columbus, Ohio at his father’s glazing bay, and for the past three decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows across Southwest Florida including years of work in the McGregor Boulevard corridor. We’re not a franchise. We’re the company that answers the phone when you call, sends a background-checked uniformed technician who knows ES Windows hardware, and stands behind every job with The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a promise. If a job calls for a different manufacturer because that’s what’s actually on your house, we also work on PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. In our experience serving Fort Myers, about seven out of ten ES Windows roof-line failures involve flashing, sealant, shimming, or hardware – not the glass or the frame itself. We always inspect first and tell you if a repair is safe and cost-effective before we ever recommend a full replacement. Call (239) 323-5522 for an inspection and a straight answer.
No. We quote a fixed price up front based on what we find during inspection, and we don’t add change orders unless you ask for something extra. If the quote says one number, the bill says the same number. That’s the square deal.
Both, and we’ll show you the difference in writing. ES Windows OEM hardware is often the right call for impact-rated or recently installed units. On older Series 5000 and 7000 units, a quality aftermarket roller or hinge from a known supplier can outlast the original. We quote both options and let you decide with the facts in front of you.
Most single-window flashing, sealing, or hardware repairs are done in one visit once parts are on hand. Larger jobs or multiple window replacements may take two to three visits. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start.
When the scope requires a permit under Lee County or City of Fort Myers code, we pull it and we see the inspection through. For repairs that don’t require a permit, we still work to the same code standard. We don’t cut corners on the administrative side, because a failed inspection is just a delay you shouldn’t have to pay for.
If you’re in Fort Myers and need ES Windows roof replacement or installation done right, call (239) 323-5522. We’ll schedule a free estimate, show up when we say, and put everything in writing before any work begins.
