ES Windows Roofing: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If you have ES Windows and a roofing component that’s failed, we stock the compatible parts and install them throughout Woodland Hills, with most jobs running $400 – $1,800 for repair and $8,000 – $20,000 for full roof replacement. The typical homeowner discovers the problem after a winter rain, when water shows up on a ceiling or along a window frame and the trail leads back to flashing, sealant, or a failed underlayment around the ES Windows unit. We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with ES Windows, but we’ve worked on enough of their products across the Valley to know exactly which parts hold up and which ones give out first.
What matters most right now: the part number, how the failure started, and whether you’re looking at a targeted fix or a larger roofing issue. We’ll match what failed to your specific ES Windows model, give you a written price before any work starts, and stand behind the repair for a full year.
Which ES Windows Models This Applies To
ES Windows manufactures residential aluminum and thermally broken window and door systems, and the roofing components that interface with them are what we’re addressing here. The compatibility question depends on how your installer integrated the window with the roof system, not solely on the window series itself. We’ve seen ES Windows units tied into GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing systems across Woodland Hills, and each pairing has specific flashing kits and sealant requirements.
Here’s the gotcha that catches most people: ES Windows units installed in the last decade often use a wider flange profile than older retrofits, so a flashing kit ordered by window size alone won’t always seat correctly. We measure the actual flange width and the roof-to-frame clearances before we order or pull a part. If you have the original window label or purchase paperwork, it helps. If not, we can identify the series from the glass etching and frame profile, which takes about ten minutes on site.
On the OEM-versus-aftermarket question: for aluminum flashing and drip-edge profiles, a quality aftermarket part matched to your measurements performs as well as OEM at roughly 40% less cost. For integrated sealant and thermal-break components, we stay OEM because the aftermarket equivalents we’ve tested don’t hold up to Woodland Hills summers, where roof-surface temperatures routinely exceed 140°F in July and August.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your ES Windows Roofing Is Failing
- Water staining on the ceiling or wall within three feet of the window. This usually means the head flashing above the ES Windows unit has pulled away from the wall plane, letting rainwater run behind the cladding instead of over it.
- Damp drywall or peeling paint directly beneath the window sill. This points to failed sill pan flashing or a sealant joint at the sill that has hardened and cracked. In Woodland Hills, the dry heat accelerates sealant embrittlement faster than coastal areas.
- Visible gaps or lifted flashing at the top corners of the window frame. Thermal movement in ES Windows aluminum frames, with the temperature swings we get between the Santa Monica mountains and the Valley floor, works fasteners loose over time.
- Granules from the shingles collecting in the gutter right below the window. This signals the roof membrane around the penetration is breaking down and the shingle seal is compromised in that zone.
- Draft or dust ingress around the frame during Santa Ana wind events. The roofing underlayment at the window junction has likely torn or the perimeter seal has failed, which also means water has a path in the next heavy rain.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
Targeted ES Windows roofing repair in Woodland Hills runs $400 – $1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing a single flashing profile, re-sealing the perimeter, or stripping back shingles to replace damaged underlayment at the window junction. If the broader roof system has failed and a full replacement is needed, expect $8,000 – $20,000 for a standard Woodland Hills home, with the final number driven by roof complexity, the number of window and skylight penetrations, and the roofing material you choose.
Every quote is written, line-itemed, and delivered before any work starts. That’s not a promotion, it’s how we operate.

We back the work with a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair isn’t right within a year of completion, we return and make it right at no cost. A live person answers our phones around the clock if you need to talk through what you’re seeing before we even come out. Call (831) 290-6866.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely inspect the area around your ES Windows from the ground with a pair of binoculars: look for lifted flashing, cracked sealant, or missing shingles at the window junction. What you should not do is get on a ladder and attempt to pull flashing or re-seal a second-story window penetration. Roof work at height, combined with handling aluminum flashing profiles with sharp edges, is where DIY goes wrong. A fall from even a single-story roof changes a $400 repair into a hospital visit.
If what you see is peeling sealant on an accessible lower window, a temporary silicone dab might slow water until we can get there, but it won’t fix the underlying flashing issue. We’d rather come out, look at it, and tell you plainly whether you need a repair or just have a cosmetic issue. “Tell me what you need done. I’ll tell you what it takes and what it costs. Then we get to work.” Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll schedule the visit.
FAQs
With proper installation, the flashing and sealant around ES Windows units in Woodland Hills should last 10 to 15 years before the sealant hardens and needs replacement, while the roof system itself typically lasts 20 to 30 years depending on material. The extreme dry heat and UV exposure here shortens sealant life compared to coastal climates, so we recommend inspecting the window-to-roof junctions every two years. Call (831) 290-6866 if you want us to check yours.
Yes, in many cases a bent or partially lifted flashing profile can be re-seated, re-fastened, and re-sealed without replacing the entire component, which typically runs on the lower end of the $400 – $1,800 repair range. If the flashing is corroded through or torn, replacement is the honest fix. We’ll tell you which one you need and put the price in writing before any work starts.
Most ES Windows flashing and sealant replacements around the roofing junction take one day, including removal, prep, installation, and cleanup. If the underlying underlayment or roof decking is damaged, the job typically extends to two days because we need to let materials set between stages. We’ll give you a time estimate in the written quote so there are no surprises on the schedule.
We keep standard aluminum flashing profiles, drip-edge, and the sealant systems we trust for Woodland Hills conditions on our trucks, so we can often complete the repair on the first visit. For ES Windows-specific thermal-break components or uncommon flange profiles, we order direct and have the part within a few business days. We’ll confirm parts availability before we schedule the work.
If you need ES Windows roofing parts or a repair in Woodland Hills, call (831) 290-6866.
