AfterCWS Roof Replacement & Installation in Westchester: What to Know First
CWS roof replacement and installation in Westchester typically runs between $9,800 and $22,000 depending on roof size, material choice, and whether we’re doing a tear-off or overlay. Most full replacements take two to four working days once materials land, and we quote fixed pricing so the number on your estimate is the number on your final invoice. Ed Winslow has been putting roofs over Westchester homes since 2011, and as an independent CWS service provider, we work on the roof itself while keeping your CWS windows, doors, and flashing details intact and watertight. If your CWS home needs a new roof, call (863) 251-5864 and a real person picks up, any hour, any day.
How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We see the same failure patterns crop up on CWS-equipped homes across Westchester, from the older ranch blocks near Tropical Park to the newer builds south of Bird Road. Here’s what actually goes wrong and what we do about it.
- CWS casement and awning window flashing leaks at the roof line. On CWS casement windows installed under low eaves, the original flashing often wasn’t stepped correctly where the roof deck meets the window head. Years of Westchester downpours drive water behind the nailing flange, and by the time the homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the sheathing is already soft. When we replace the roof, we pull the old flashing, inspect the CWS frame for rot, and reflash with proper step flashing and a kick-out diverter so water clears the window entirely.
- CWS sliding glass door headers show moisture intrusion after roof replacement by other crews. This is one we fix a lot. A roofing crew that doesn’t know CWS door geometry will strip the old roof, bang new underlayment over the door header, and call it done. Then the first heavy storm forces water under the drip edge and into the CWS door’s top track. We pull the first two courses, install peel-and-stick membrane up the wall behind the door flange, and reinstall the drip edge so it laps over, not under, the CWS frame.
- CWS fixed picture windows with integral mullions develop perimeter seal failure at the roof junction. The mullion joints on CWS fixed units are tough, but the perimeter sealant at the top of the frame ages faster when the roof above traps heat against it. Westchester’s sun cooks south-facing dormers, the sealant shrinks, and water tracks down the interior wall. During a roof replacement, we remove the old sealant down to clean aluminum, check the CWS frame for corrosion, and reseal with a commercial-grade polyurethane that flexes with thermal movement.
- Improper roof-to-wall transitions at CWS geometric window bays. CWS geometric windows, those angled bays and trapezoids, need the roofer to actually think about how shingles terminate against the frame. We’ve seen roofs where the shingles were just butt-cut against the CWS frame with no counterflashing. It leaks inside a year. We install metal counterflashing tucked into the CWS frame’s accessory groove wherever it exists, or we fabricate a clean reglet and seal it properly.
- Roof deck rot hidden under old flashing at CWS impact window corners. CWS impact windows are heavy, and on older Westchester homes the original frame anchors were set into roof-adjacent framing that was never flashed well at the corners. By the time we tear off, there’s often a fist-sized patch of rot at one or two corners. We cut out the bad wood, sister in new framing, and rebuild the corner so the CWS window sits on solid stock with new flashing lapped correctly under the roof membrane.
Our CWS Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here’s how a typical CWS roof replacement goes with us, start to finish.
- 1
You call (863) 251-5864. A live person answers, not a recording. We ask about your roof, your CWS windows and doors, and any leaks you’ve noticed. We schedule a free estimate.
- 2
We walk the property with you. Ed or a senior tech inspects the roof, the CWS window and door intersections, the flashing, the deck, and the attic if accessible. We take photos and show you exactly what we’re seeing.
- 3
We write a fixed, line-item quote. You get exact numbers for tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, materials, flashing, and disposal. No allowances, no change orders unless you ask us to add scope.
- 4
We decide on parts together. For roof materials we use proven brands and explain your shingle, tile, or metal options. For the CWS flashing and sealing components, we use OEM-compatible or better materials that won’t void your CWS window or door warranty.
- 5
We do the work. Tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, roof install, and meticulous flashing at every CWS window and door intersection. Background-checked, uniformed crew on site every day. Site is cleaned daily.
- 6
We test and stand behind it. We water-test the flashings, inspect every transition with you if you want, and every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Period.

FAQs
Yes. We’re an independent CWS service provider, not a CWS-authorized installer, but our flashing and sealing work around your CWS windows and doors is done to preserve your existing CWS product warranty. We never modify a CWS frame or mullion in a way that would void coverage, and we document everything with photos.
Most full replacements take two to four working days, depending on roof size, material, and how much deck repair or CWS flashing work is needed. Tile and metal run longer than shingles. Call (863) 251-5864 for a time estimate specific to your roof.
We’ll work with you on material and color choices that complement your CWS frames. Shingle manufacturers offer wide color ranges, and we’ll bring sample boards to your Westchester home so you can see them against your actual CWS bronze, white, or custom-finished frames before we order.
Only if we find deck rot or framing damage that wasn’t visible before tear-off, and we stop and show you exactly what we found before any change is made. You approve the added scope and cost in writing before we proceed. Fixed pricing means fixed.
Yes. We pull every required permit, schedule inspections, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. You’ll get a copy of the permit and the final inspection for your records.
