TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent ES Windows window replacement in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Most single-unit replacements are completed in one visit, and full-frame work on an average home runs two to three days.

If you own ES Windows and they are failing, call us at (772) 794-8169. A live person answers, day or night, and the estimate is free.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows are largely built in Colombia and marketed for coastal and hurricane-prone markets, which is why they show up in a fair number of Palm Beach Gardens homes. They are a solid mid-range product when installed correctly. Like any window line, they have patterns. Here is what we see most often on Palm Beach Gardens job sites.
- Condensation and fogging between panes on the ES Series 500 and 700 fixed units. The insulating glass seal lets go, usually after ten to fifteen years of South Florida humidity and afternoon sun. Moisture works its way in, and the glass fogs. The fix is a new insulated glass unit, not a whole new frame. We measure the sash, order the IG unit, and set it in clean. The frame stays.
- Roller and track wear on ES Series 9000 sliding doors and windows. In Palm Beach Gardens, we see fine sand and salt working into the track channels. The rollers were never designed to grind through that. The symptom is a slider that drags or hangs up halfway. We replace the rollers and clean the track channel, and if the threshold is worn, we address that in the same visit.
- Stripped or seized crank hardware on ES Series 300 casement windows. The crank gear is a known weak point after years of exposure. When the gear strips, the window will not seal tightly. We replace the hardware assembly with either OEM or a heavier aftermarket unit, and we tell you which one we recommend and why before we order it.
- Warped or swollen sashes in older ES double-hung units from the mid-2000s. Some early production runs used a composite that did not hold up to constant sun on west-facing walls. The sash bows slightly, and the window starts to bind or leak air at the meeting rail. We replace the sash or the full unit depending on the frame condition.
- Leaking around the frame perimeter on impact-rated ES installations. This is almost never the window’s fault. In our experience, it is a flashing or caulking failure from the original install, which is what happens when a crew rushes sealant work in the afternoon heat. We pull the trim, reset the flashing, and reseal correctly. The window itself usually tests fine.
Our ES Windows Window Replacement Process
We work the way Dale Kessler learned when he was cutting his teeth on impact glazing installations up and down the Treasure Coast. Every job gets the same discipline.
- 1
The measure and the diagnosis. A technician arrives, measures the opening twice, and identifies the actual failure mode. We do not guess and we do not sell you a window you do not need.
- 2
The written quote. We put the options on paper, side by side: OEM ES parts, quality aftermarket equivalents, and full replacement if that is what the job calls for. Prices are fixed. If it is not in the written scope, it is not in the price - and if it is in the price, we stand behind it.
- 3
The parts decision. We tell you straight: OEM parts preserve the warranty language best, but aftermarket hardware is sometimes the smarter buy. We never order anything without your sign-off.
- 4
Removal and prep. We pull the old unit carefully, inspect the rough opening and flashing, and repair what is compromised before anything new goes in. This is where most leaks get introduced or prevented.
- 5
Install and test. The new unit goes in level, plumb, and square. We operate it through its full range, check the seal with a moisture meter, and clean the work area.
- 6
The guarantee, in writing. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered and stated before we leave. Our Done Right Promise covers our workmanship. If it is not done right, we make it right - no paperwork, no arguing.
What ES Windows Window Replacement Costs in Palm Beach Gardens

Why Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We have been doing this since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 for one reason: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. We are a glazing company before we are anything else. That matters when your ES Windows are failing and you need to know whether the glass, the hardware, or the original install is at fault. We are also an authorized installer for more than a dozen other lines, including, and PGT, so if we tell you a full replacement with a different line makes more sense, we can show you that comparison on paper, side by side. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Our phones are answered by a person, not a menu. Our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard are written down, not implied. And we sponsor the local things that need sponsoring, because we plan to be in Palm Beach Gardens thirty years from now.
FAQs
We are not an authorized ES Windows warranty service provider, and we will not pretend otherwise. If your unit is still under warranty, start with the manufacturer. If the warranty is expired, denied, or not worth the fight, we will replace the failed glass, hardware, or full unit at a fair price and register any remaining manufacturer coverage we are able to on your behalf.
We use both, and we show you the difference on paper before ordering. OEM parts match your original warranty language best. Aftermarket parts are sometimes heavier-built and cost less. For glass, we always use insulated glass units that meet or exceed the original spec. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will tell you what we would put in our own house.
If the frame is square, dry, and structurally sound, repair is usually the smarter money. If the frame is warped, the flashing failed, or the original install was never sealed right, full replacement saves you from paying twice. We will tell you which one you need after we measure and inspect, not before.
Most single-unit replacements are done in one visit once the parts arrive. Hardware replacements are usually completed the same day. Full-frame jobs on multiple windows typically run two to three days depending on the count and access. Call (772) 794-8169 for an exact timeline based on your windows.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless we find rot or structural damage inside the rough opening that could not be seen before removal. If that happens, we stop, we show you what we found, and we agree on the fix before we proceed. No surprises on the final bill, and no second appointment left hanging. That is the standard Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
