CWS Roofing: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide

CWS roofing systems installed in Pompano Beach typically run $400-$1,800 for component-level repairs and $8,000-$20,000 for full replacement, depending on whether the failure is isolated to flashing, underlayment, or the primary weather barrier. We stock CWS-compatible membrane, fastener, and edge-metal specifications on our trucks, and most calls in Pompano Beach are addressed same-day because the inventory is already loaded. Most owners discover a CWS roofing issue not during a storm but the morning after, when a water stain appears on the ceiling or a section of ridge cap sits in the yard.

Which CWS Models This Applies To

CWS produced several roofing product lines through the 1990s and 2000s, with the CWS WeatherTight and CWS Pro-Seal systems being the most common in South Florida. The critical compatibility point is the membrane gauge: WeatherTight used a 60-mil TPO formulation in its residential line, while Pro-Seal shifted to a 45-mil modified bitumen on roll-stock, and the fastening patterns are not interchangeable. If you’re trying to identify your system, check the original permit set (most Pompano Beach permits from 1998-2012 list the manufacturer on the roofing schedule) or look for a stamped edge detail on the membrane roll at any penetration.

OEM CWS parts are no longer manufactured, which is not the obstacle it sounds like. We source aftermarket equivalents from Johns Manville and Carlisle that meet or exceed the original spec, and we document the substitution on your photo record with the ASTM rating printed on the material. The only place we deviate from aftermarket is when a CWS system was installed under a manufacturer’s system warranty that is still in force; in those cases, we source salvage-compatible stock or recommend a full system replacement so the warranty chain stays intact.

Signs Your CWS Roofing Is Failing

• Bubbling or tenting in the field membrane. This indicates trapped moisture or adhesive failure between the membrane and the insulation board, common in Pompano Beach where the afternoon heat cycle accelerates off-gassing. The bubble will split eventually, and water will enter at the seam.
• Rust streaks below metal edge details. CWS systems relied on galvanized edge metal that loses its coating after 15-20 years in salt air. The rust is cosmetic at first, then structural; once the flange thins, wind uplift can detach a twelve-foot run in a single storm.
• Cracking at penetration boots (vents, pipes, HVAC curbs). The neoprene or EPDM boot gasket hardens in UV, and CWS boots from the 2000s era were particularly prone to this. A cracked boot channels water directly into the roof assembly, and the damage is often invisible from the ground.
• Interior stains that appear after wind-driven rain, not every rain. This pattern usually points to a compromised seam or flashing detail rather than a broad field failure. The water travels along the deck before dropping, so the stain location and the leak origin are rarely aligned.
• Increased energy bills with no HVAC change. A failing CWS membrane loses its reflective index; the roof surface temperature in Pompano Beach summer can climb from 120°F to 170°F, forcing the attic system to work harder. We measure this with an infrared gun during inspection and show you the image.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For CWS roofing in Pompano Beach, our repair work runs $400-$1,800 installed, and full replacement where the system is beyond component repair falls in the $8,000-$20,000 range. The spread on repairs reflects access difficulty (single-story ranch vs. two-story with a pool cage tight to the eave) and whether the failure is localized or has propagated into the insulation board. On replacement, the driver is square footage and whether we are removing one layer or multiple, which Pompano Beach’s older homes near the Intracoastal sometimes accumulate.

Every CWS roofing quote we write itemizes membrane, fasteners, edge metal, and labor as separate lines. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that written price is fixed; if we find saturated insulation during tear-off, we stop, photograph it, and present a signed change order before any additional work proceeds. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation, and the material warranty (typically 15-20 years on the aftermarket TPO we specify) runs from the manufacturer’s date stamp.

DIY or Call Us?

A homeowner can safely walk the roof with binoculars and note bubbling, missing fasteners, or displaced edge metal. What you cannot safely do is attempt membrane welding, fastener replacement, or any work within six feet of a roof edge without fall protection, which OSHA requires and which most residential owners do not own. The heat welding equipment for TPO membrane operates at 600°F and demands a practiced hand; a cold weld or a scorched membrane is a leak waiting to happen, and it voids any remaining warranty.

We are an independent service provider, not affiliated with CWS. If you’re staring at a stain on your ceiling and a section of roofing that doesn’t look right, call (754) 714-6540. We’ll inspect it, photograph what we find, and give you a written price before any work starts. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
