ES Windows Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens: What to Know First
We install, replace, and service ES Windows custom windows and doors across Palm Beach Gardens as an independent ES Windows service provider. Typical turnaround for a custom ES Windows retrofit or replacement runs two to four weeks from measure to install, and our estimates are free with no obligation. Pricing is upfront and itemized on paper, because a 55-year-old homeowner who has been burned once deserves to see exactly what they are paying for before the first pane comes off the truck. If you own ES Windows in Palm Beach Gardens and something is binding, fogging, or leaking, this page tells you what is actually going on and what it costs to make it right. Call (772) 794-8169 and a live person answers, day or night.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a well-engineered product, but South Florida heat, salt air, and hurricane cycles expose weak points that the manufacturer’s own literature will not spell out. Here is what we see in Palm Beach Gardens homes on a regular basis:
- Fogged glass in the ES 7000 Series fixed and casement units. The dual-seal spacer degrades faster in coastal humidity than inland, and once the desiccant is saturated, condensation shows up between the panes. We replace the insulated glass unit with a fresh one, match the original low-E coating, and re-bed the sash. No full-window replacement needed.
- Binding rollers and dropped panels on ES 8700 sliding glass doors. Palm Beach Gardens sits on sandy soil that settles, and slab movement eventually throws the track out of level. The door starts dragging at the strike side, then the rollers chew themselves flat. We relevel the track, replace the roller assemblies with OEM or equal, and reset the panel so it glides without jumping.
- Weeping system failure on custom-shaped ES picture windows. Weep holes clog with pollen and dust during the dry season, then a summer downpour backs water into the frame and onto the sill. The fix is cleaning the weep channel, verifying the sill slope, and replacing the weatherstripping where water wicked into it. On older ES units we also reseal the exterior glazing bead with a UV-stable compound that holds up better than the original.
- Hardware fatigue on frequently used ES awning and hopper windows. The operator mechanism on older ES awning units uses a plastic gear that strips after years of daily cycling. We replace the operator with an aftermarket brass-geared unit that outlasts the original by a wide margin, then adjust the sash so the hardware is not fighting the frame.
- Frame corrosion at fasteners on ES impact-rated units. Stainless steel fasteners are common, but some older ES installs used coated steel that gives up in salt air. We see surface rust staining around screw heads on beach-adjacent Palm Beach Gardens homes. The fix is extracting the old fastener, treating the area, and replacing with marine-grade stainless hardware, then touching up the finish to match.
Our ES Windows Custom Windows & Doors Process
Every ES Windows job follows the same sequence, whether it is one fogged sash or a full custom retrofit. Dale Kessler has run crews this way since 2008, and it has not needed much revision.
- 1
Call and schedule. You talk to a live person, not a voicemail tree. We set a time and show up when we say we will.
- 2
Measure twice, on site. Our technician measures every opening twice and records the numbers on paper. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and true starts with the measure.
- 3
Written scope and line-item quote. We put everything in writing: the exact ES Windows components, the parts (OEM or aftermarket, noted line by line), the labor, and the warranty durations. 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.
- 4
Installation and fit work. We remove, set, shim, level, and seal the way a second-generation glazier does: no shortcuts on flashing, no filler to hide a bad fit. Where ES Windows original parts are available and cost-sensible, we use them. Where a better aftermarket option exists, we say so and show you both prices.
- 5
Testing and clean-up. We cycle the window or door, check the weep system, check the seal, and confirm the operation is smooth and square. Then we clean the work area.
- 6
Paperwork before the truck leaves. Manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before we pull out of the driveway. You get an email with everything, and we stand behind the workmanship for 90 days under our own Done Right Promise.

FAQs
We can help you navigate an ES Windows warranty claim and supply the documentation a manufacturer requests, but as an independent ES Windows service provider we do not file claims on your behalf. In practice, many Palm Beach Gardens homeowners weigh the claim timeline against the cost of a direct repair: a fogged glass replacement often settles faster out of pocket, and we give you the numbers either way. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will walk you through it.
Yes, for most series. Original ES components are available for common lines like the 7000, 8700, and older fixed units, though lead times stretch on less common hardware. Where an OEM part is backordered or overpriced, we quote a quality aftermarket equivalent side by side so you decide with both numbers on paper.
Repair when the frame is sound and the failure is isolated: one fogged sash, one failed roller, one stripped operator. Replace when the frame is corroded, the seal system has failed in multiple openings, or the glass package no longer meets current Palm Beach Gardens code. We will give you an honest recommendation after measuring the opening, not before.
Live answer with no hold music, and we schedule most repairs within a few business days. Parts lead times typically run three to ten business days. Custom glass can add a week or two depending on the coating and size. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will tell you a real date, not a maybe.
Yes, where the scope requires it. Structural openings, impact-rated replacements, and anything that changes the building envelope gets permitted and inspected. If your job does not require a permit, we will tell you that too. Either way, the work is done to code and in writing.
If you own ES Windows in Palm Beach Gardens, FL and something is not right, call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate. We answer the phone, we show up, we measure twice, and we put everything on paper before the work begins.
