ES Windows Roof Repair in Boca Raton: What to Know First

ES Windows roof repair in Boca Raton typically runs between $350 and $1,100 depending on the failure point, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a manufacturer rep, which means we diagnose against what’s actually failing in your specific installation rather than reading from a corporate script. Our techs have seen enough ES Windows skylight and roof-glazing failures in Boca Raton to know the difference between a ten-minute seal fix and a full curb rebuild. That’s the blunt answer. If you own an ES Windows roof unit or roof-glazing system and water is getting in, call us at (561) 264-1337 and we’ll tell you straight what you’re dealing with. This page covers what we know about these systems from years of repairing them in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows builds a solid product, but Boca Raton’s salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and August UV load create predictable failure patterns. Here’s what we see when we’re called out for ES Windows roof work.

• Skylight curb seal separation on the ES 900 Series skylights. The 900 Series uses a compression gasket between the glazing frame and the site-built curb. After ten or twelve years of thermal cycling in Boca Raton’s heat, that gasket takes a set and forgets how to compress. Water wicks in at the low corner, near the drain scupper. The fix is a full gasket replacement and curb re-flattening, not just another bead of silicone. We’ve pulled off more homeowner-applied silicone from ES skylights than we care to count, and it never holds because the underlying gasket is still dead.
• Condensation between glass layers on the ES Windows Series 400 fixed roof lights. If you’re seeing fog inside the glass itself, the insulated glass unit’s edge seal has failed. On roof units this is almost always accelerated by water sitting against the seal during heavy rain, when weep holes get blocked with pollen or debris. A failed IGU is not repairable. We source direct replacement units cut to the original spec, because glass that’s even 1/8-inch off changes the pressure on the frame and starts the cycle again.
• Frame-to-curb fastener corrosion on older ES Windows aluminum roof glazing from the 1990s and early 2000s. The factory used zinc-plated fasteners on some early production runs. Twenty years of Boca Raton humidity and salt air later, those fasteners rust, swell, and crack the lower frame rail from the inside. The crack is almost never visible until we pull the unit. Our fix: full fastener replacement with 316 stainless, cracked rail section replacement where possible, and a corrosion-inhibiting bedding compound before reseating.
• Operator and hinge bind on ES Windows venting roof units (the Series 700 operable skylights). Homeowners call because the crank won’t turn or the unit won’t seat closed. The cause is rarely the crank mechanism itself. It’s frame racking from the roof plane settling or from a hinge side that was shimmed wrong at original install. If the frame isn’t square, no new operator will fix it. We measure for square first, correct the shimming, then replace the operator only if it genuinely needs it. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that strips out again in six months. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
• Skylight glazing gasket shrinkage on the ES Windows 600 Series, particularly on south-facing roofs. UV exposure literally shrinks the outer glazing gasket, and once it pulls back from the corners, wind-driven rain follows. The telltale sign: wet drywall at the interior skylight well after a storm with wind, but dry after a straight-down rain. We replace with an upgraded EPDM gasket that has better UV resistance than the early OEM material, and we set it with adhesive bedded at the corners. This is the fix that holds.

Our ES Windows Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a repair call goes when you dial (561) 264-1337. No phone tree, no waiting for a call-back. A live person answers.

1. 1
   Call and describe what you’re seeing. You’ll get a real person, day or night. We’ll ask where the leak shows up, what the unit looks like from below, and whether it’s a fixed or operable unit. That tells us which ES Windows failure pattern we’re likely walking into.
2. 2
   We come out and diagnose. A background-checked, uniformed tech gets on the roof and looks at the curb, the gasket, the glazing, the flashings, and the surrounding roof surface. We measure for square. We check for hidden water damage. The diagnostic is the whole point of the first visit.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. Some ES Windows parts are still available through distribution. Some aren’t, especially for discontinued lines. We’ll tell you what’s OEM, what’s a quality aftermarket equivalent, and what the trade-off is before we order anything. You won’t get a non-OEM part billed as original. That’s part of the square deal we’ve run on since 2008.
4. 4
   The repair. We get on the roof, make the correction, set the unit square, seal it with materials rated for Florida heat and rain, and clean the work area. Where we find prior homeowner repairs that failed, we show you what we’re removing and why it didn’t hold.
5. 5
   Test and verify. We run water on the repair and check from below before we call it done. If it leaks during our test, it leaks worse in a Boca Raton thunderstorm, so we don’t guess.
6. 6
   Walkthrough and warranty registration. We explain what we found, what we did, and what it cost. Any applicable parts warranty gets registered in writing, and the whole job is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

What ES Windows Roof Repair Costs in Boca Raton

We price by the job, not by the hour, so you know the number before we start. Here’s what ES Windows roof work typically runs in Boca Raton.

• Skylight gasket replacement (single unit): $350-$600
• Curb reseal and re-flatten (per unit): $450-$800
• Condensation-failed IGU replacement (Series 400): $600-$1,100
• Operable unit re-square, re-shim, and operator replacement (Series 700): $500-$900
• Corroded frame rail repair with stainless fastener retrofit: $500-$950

What moves the price: roof pitch and access, curb condition, whether the unit is original or has been retrofitted, and whether the parts are still available OEM or we need to source from a specialty fabricator. We don’t change the number once work starts unless the roof itself hands us something we genuinely couldn’t have seen from our diagnostic. That’s rare. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate before anything gets touched. Estimates are free, and a real person answers the phone around the clock.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work

We’ve been serving Boca Raton and Palm Beach County since 2008 through a heritage that stretches back further than the TruePane name. Our founder, Dale Kessler, grew up in the Boca Teeca neighborhood here in Boca Raton, where his father spent weekends replacing jalousie windows in every house on the block and never once called it a hobby. Dale finished his glazing and fenestration coursework at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, then spent more than two decades setting and sealing windows and doors across the county before starting TruePane out of a simple frustration: too many homeowners were handed a low bid and a loose frame, and nobody would stand behind it after the check cleared. So we stand behind it, in writing, every time.

We’re not the cheapest bid in the room, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the last call you’ll need to make. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. We register warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and back every job with the Done Right Promise. If your ES Windows roof unit can’t be saved, we’ll tell you that too, and we’ll quote comparable replacement lines from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems so you can make the call with real numbers in front of you, not a salesman’s pitch. Established in 2008, rooted in this community since before that, and planning to be here another thirty years.
