ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Myers: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows shingle, tile, and metal roofing service across Fort Myers, and most jobs are quoted on site and completed within one to three working days once materials arrive. We’re not the cheapest bid in town, and we don’t try to be. What we offer is a written price before work starts, factory-correct parts where they matter, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise behind every repair, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and what happens if something isn’t right. This page is for Fort Myers homeowners who own ES Windows products and need roofing work tied to those openings: flashing, underlayment, re-roof integration, and the window-to-roof transitions that cause most of the trouble. Call (239) 323-5522 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a solid product line, but Fort Myers heat, humidity, and hurricane cycles expose weak points in any window-to-roof connection. Here is what we find most often on ES Windows installations around Lee County, and how we address it.
- Flashing separation at the head of the window, especially on the ES Vinyl Series. The original flashing was likely installed correctly, but fifteen or twenty years of thermal expansion and afternoon thunderstorms will curl a thin flashing edge just enough to let water ride the gap. We remove the old flashing, inspect the substrate underneath, and install a wider, properly lapped replacement before the new roofing material goes on.
- ES Aluminum Series frames paired with tile roofs showing galvanic corrosion at the fastener line. Dissimilar metals plus salt air equals pitting where the frame meets the tile clips. This is a known issue on coastal Fort Myers homes, especially in older McGregor Boulevard and riverfront builds. We swap in isolated fasteners and barrier tape where needed, then verify the seal before any tile is reset.
- Weep holes clogged with roofing cement or overspray from a previous re-roof. A roofer who didn’t mask the window frame during tile or shingle work can seal the bottom of an ES frame shut. Water that should drain out sits inside the track and eventually finds the wall cavity. We flush the channels, restore the weep path, and touch up any coating the overspray damaged.
- ES Impact-rated fixed units with sealant failure at the sill. On homes where the roofline sends water straight down over the window, the sill sealant takes a beating. We see this on ES impact windows installed under short eaves or no eaves at all. The fix is full extraction of the old bead, a clean, dry joint, and a quality structural sealant applied with proper tooling, not a smear.
- Underlayment failures that get blamed on the window. This one bothers us. A homeowner notices a stain near the ES window and assumes the unit itself is leaking. In a good number of cases, the roof underlayment above the window has worn through or was lapped incorrectly during a prior re-roof. We trace the water path honestly. If the window is sound, that’s what we tell you, and we fix the roof-side problem instead of selling a replacement you don’t need.
Our ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
Every job follows the same sequence, whether it’s one window tied into a new shingle roof or a full row of ES Aluminum frames meeting a standing-seam metal roof.
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (239) 323-5522. Someone answers. We listen to what you’re seeing and ask about the roof material, the age of the windows, and any prior roof work. No form, no callback queue.
- 2
Site inspection and diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives when we say we will. They measure, inspect the window-to-roof transition, and document what’s actually happening. We don’t guess from the driveway.
- 3
Written quote, side by side. We lay out the repair options on paper: OEM ES parts where the warranty or fit demands it, quality aftermarket where it genuinely saves you money without cutting corners. You see both numbers before you decide.
- 4
The repair work. We protect the opening, remove only what needs removing, and set the flashing, underlayment, or roof material so the ES window drains the way the factory intended. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
Testing. We run water where water runs, check the drainage path, and confirm the seal.
- 6
The guarantee. Before the truck leaves the driveway, you have our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, along with the ES warranty status if we used OEM parts. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
What ES Windows Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Myers
Here is what we charge for the most common ES Windows roofing-related repairs in the Fort Myers market. These are honest ranges, not a teaser price with change orders waiting in the shrubs.
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Head flashing replacement, single ES window (shingle roof) | $260-$420 |
| Full window-to-roof flashing detail, tile roof | $380-$625 per opening |

| Weep hole restoration and track flush | $110-$190 per unit |
| Underlayment repair above window (shingle roof, small area) | $300-$650 depending on access and pitch |
| Standing-seam roof-to-window integration, metal roof | $525-$900 per opening |
What moves the price: roof pitch and access, single story versus two-story ladder work, tile weight and matching, and whether the underlying substrate is solid or has hidden rot. We give you the number in writing before we start, and the number doesn’t change unless you change the scope. Call (239) 323-5522 for a free estimate. We’ll be there when we say.
Why Fort Myers Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We’re not an ES Windows dealer, and we’ll tell you that straight. What we are is an independent ES Windows service provider that has been working on Southwest Florida homes for over four decades through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition, not a franchise playbook. Dale Kessler built this company in 2008 out of a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were worth fixing permanently. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. And when an ES Windows product isn’t the right fix anymore, we install and service the full range, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, so you get a recommendation that fits your house, not our inventory.
FAQs
We’re an independent service provider, not an ES Windows authorized dealer, so we can’t file warranty claims on your behalf. What we can do is tell you honestly whether the failure you’re seeing has a warranty angle at all, and we’ll point you to the right channel if it does. For the work we perform, the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing. Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll talk it through before you spend a dollar.
Most ES Vinyl and Aluminum Series colors are standard and matchable with factory or aftermarket material. Where a custom color is no longer produced, we’ll show you the closest options on paper before ordering, so there are no surprises. Call (239) 323-5522 for a free estimate and we’ll bring color samples to the site.
If the glass is clear, the sash operates, and the frame is sound, a proper flashing or underlayment repair is almost always the right call. We don’t sell windows that don’t need selling. Dale Kessler’s founding rule hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done, and if the pane is true, we tell you that too. Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll give you an honest read.
Most single-opening flashing, sealant, or underlayment repairs are completed in one visit, typically three to five hours including setup and cleanup. Tile roof work can add a day if tile needs to cure or be matched. We’ll give you a realistic window when we quote, and we’ll show up when we say.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay unless hidden rot or structural damage forces a change in scope, and if that happens we stop, show you what we found, and get your sign-off before any additional work proceeds. No surprise line items on the bill. That’s a square deal, and it’s the only way we work in Fort Myers.
