ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood: What to Know First
ES Windows custom and geometric windows in Hollywood are built on extruded aluminum frames that hold their shape in salt air better than roll-form competitors, but the weak points on these products are almost always the corner keys and the glazing beads. As an independent ES Windows service provider, TruePane Windows & Doors diagnoses and repairs ES Windows custom shapes, arched units, and oversized openings throughout Hollywood, with most straight repairs completed in a single visit and custom glass orders turned around in 5 to 10 business days depending on the lite and the laminate schedule. If you own an ES Windows product and the corner is separating or the glass is fogged, call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll tell you honestly whether it is a repair or a replace. This page is for Hollywood homeowners who already own ES Windows and need someone who knows the line well enough to work on it properly.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ES Windows Series 7200 corner key separation. The 7200 series uses a crimped aluminum corner key that corrodes in Hollywood’s salt-laden air faster than the frame itself. When the key swells or cracks, the miter opens up by an eighth of an inch and you feel a draft even though the glass is fine. We disassemble the corner, replace the key with a marine-grade aftermarket or OEM key, seal the miter, and re-square the unit before resetting it in the opening.
- ES Windows Series 5000 glazing bead shrinkage on radius units. The flexible vinyl bead used on arched and curved ES Windows products shrinks under direct South Florida sun, especially on west-facing elevations in Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Lakes. When the bead pulls back, water sits in the channel and stains the sill. We replace the bead with a properly specced replacement and re-bed the glass with a sealant rated for aluminum-to-glass bonds.
- ES Windows custom trapezoid units losing their gas fill. Any shaped unit with a non-rectangular lite puts more stress on the spacer at the acute corners. ES Windows trapezoids and triangles in Hollywood typically lose their argon fill within eight to twelve years, which shows up as a milky film between the panes you can’t wipe off. TruePane sources exact-size IGUs through our glass suppliers and swaps the lite without replacing the whole frame.
- ES Windows Series 8000 roller and track wear on oversized sliders. Oversized ES Windows sliding units in Hollywood carry heavy laminated glass, and the rollers are the first thing to go. You’ll feel the panel get stiff, then it starts dragging, then it won’t close at all. We replace rollers and clean or replace the track, and we always check the frame for racking before we call the job done.
- ES Windows impact units with a compromised gasket at the fixed lite. On impact-rated ES Windows fixed geometric units, the gasket between the aluminum frame and the glass takes the brunt of every storm cycle. Once the gasket compresses and hardens, water gets behind the glass and sits against the laminate edge. We pull the stops, replace the gasket, and reset the glass with new setting blocks, then air-test the unit before we leave.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Diagnostic visit. We measure the opening, the frame, and the existing glass before we quote anything. Dale Kessler has a rule about that: measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.
- 2
Parts decision. We tell you whether OEM or a quality aftermarket part makes sense for your ES Windows unit, and we put the trade-offs on paper in plain English, including what the warranty covers either way.
- 3
Repair or rebuild. For repairable frames we do the work on site. For custom glass replacement we order the exact IGU spec and schedule the swap when it arrives.
- 4
Setting and sealing. We bed the glass, set the stops, and seal every joint with materials matched to aluminum and rated for coastal Florida exposure.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We check for air movement, water entry, and smooth operation, then we clean the glass and the sill. We leave the opening cleaner than we found it.
- 6
Warranty registration. Before the truck leaves your Hollywood driveway, we register both warranty layers in writing and hand you a copy, per The Keystone Standard.
What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood
| Service | Typical Hollywood Range |
|---|---|
| Single corner key repair on ES Windows 7200 | $180-$320 |
| Glazing bead replacement on one arched unit | $120-$260 |
| Custom IGU replacement (trapezoid, triangle, radius) | $450-$1,200 per lite depending on size and laminate |
| Roller and track replacement on slider | $220-$480 |
| Full frame reset of an out-of-square unit | $350-$700 |
What moves the price on ES Windows custom work in Hollywood is the lite shape, the glass spec, and whether the frame is salvageable. Odd angles and oversized dimensions cost more because the IGU fabricator charges for the cutting and the spoil. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a number that holds.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
We’ve been serving Hollywood since 2008, and the company has been under Dale Kessler’s direction since 2008, when he started TruePane out of a simple observation: too many out-of-true installs and voided warranties, not enough companies willing to stand behind the work. Every ES Windows job we take gets the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, with no paperwork fights and no fine print. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and when the right fix on an ES Windows product is a replacement rather than a repair, we quote PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, and the tech who shows up will be background-checked, uniformed, and working in your home the way he would work in his own mother’s.
FAQs
No, not if the repair is performed correctly and documented. As an independent ES Windows service provider, TruePane keeps your warranty intact by using OEM or manufacturer-acceptable parts and by documenting every step. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific unit.
We can usually match the tint closely enough that the difference is undetectable from inside the house, though exact matches on glass made more than a decade ago depend on what the supplier has available. We’ll show you samples before we order anything. For an exact match assessment, call us for a free estimate.
If the frame is square, the corner keys are intact, and the only problem is glass or gaskets, repair is usually the better investment. If the frame itself is corroded through or the unit is racked, replacement gives you a longer service life. We’ll tell you which makes sense for your unit and quote both options on paper when it’s a close call. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule a diagnostic.
Most custom IGU replacements for ES Windows units take 5 to 10 business days from ordering to installation in Hollywood, depending on the lite shape and the glass package. Straight repairs are usually done in one visit. Call us and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific window.
No. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise line items on the bill. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule yours.
