ES Windows Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows impact windows and doors repair, replacement, and installation throughout Hollywood, FL. ES Windows builds a good product, but like every manufacturer, they have their weak points, and we fix those for homeowners who want the job done right the first time. Most ES Windows impact work in Hollywood takes one to three days once we measure and order what’s needed, and Dale Kessler, our owner, will never give you a price before someone has measured the opening. If you’re a Hollywood homeowner with an ES window or door that’s fogging, binding, leaking, or failed inspection, call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We see the same ES Windows issues repeat themselves across Hollywood neighborhoods, from Emerald Hills to Hollywood Lakes. Here’s what we find when we take them apart:
- Fogged or hazy insulated glass on the ES Vinyl Series. Hollywood humidity is relentless, and ES Windows’ older double-pane vinyl line loses its seal after ten to fifteen years of salt air working on the edge seal. Fog between the panes isn’t just cosmetic; it means the insulating gas has left and the window has lost its energy rating. We replace the glass pack rather than the whole window when the frame is still true, which saves Hollywood homeowners real money compared to a full replacement.
- Impact weatherstripping that shrinks and hardens on the ES Aluminum Impact Series. The aluminum frames conduct heat, and over time the weatherstripping that makes the impact seal tight against a hurricane gets brittle and cracks. You’ll notice water pooling on the sill during a hard rain or air moving through the frame when it’s windy. We replace the weatherstripping with a quality aftermarket material that holds up longer in South Florida’s UV exposure, and we set the frame square while we’re in there.
- Roller and track wear on the ES Impact Sliding Glass Doors. These are heavy doors, and when the rollers go flat or the track gets bent, the door binds before it slides. We’ve also found that home settlement in older Hollywood neighborhoods like Royal Poinciana shifts the track just enough to throw the door out of level. We replace rollers and re-level the track so the door moves with one hand, the way it should.
- Failure at the interlock on the ES Multi-Point Locking French Doors. The multi-point lock system needs all three locking points to line up, and when the door sags even a fraction - which happens over years in Florida heat - the center point misses. A homeowner will force it, and that just worsens the misalignment. We re-hang the panel with a proper sag fix rather than shimming the hinge, and we test the lock open and closed before we call it done.
- Frame and gasket failures around ES impact skylights and transom windows. Less common but worth knowing: when a skylight leaks in Hollywood, the water usually follows the gasket before the glass ever fails. If the frame has moved, the glass goes out of true and the gasket loses contact. We re-bed the glazing and re-set the frame so water stays outside where it belongs.
Our ES Windows Impact Windows & Doors Process
- 1
Call comes in. A live person answers at (863) 334-2933. You describe what’s happening with your ES window or door.
- 2
We measure. Our techs measure the rough opening, not just the face frame. You learn to read a rough opening before you learn to drive a company truck; that’s how we catch what’s out of square before we touch a panel.
- 3
Parts decision. We quote OEM ES Windows parts and quality aftermarket alternatives side by side on paper, with the tradeoff explained. You choose what makes sense for your home and your budget.
- 4
Repair or replacement done correctly. We set the frame, bed the glass, torque the fasteners, and leave the job the way the manufacturer should have leant it.
- 5
Every opening is tested. We open, close, lock, and unlock everything. We check for air movement and water. We don’t leave until the pane is true.
- 6
Warranty registration and the Done Right Promise. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.

FAQs
Yes. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, and we repair and maintain ES Windows impact products in Hollywood every week. We source OEM parts where they matter and quality aftermarket parts where they outperform, and we never imply we’re a factory-authorized shop.
Not always. If the frame is still true and the hardware’s solid, we can replace the glass pack only. That saves you the cost of a full frame tear-out. We’ll tell you honestly if the frame isn’t worth saving.
When the job requires permits, we handle that. Impact work in Hollywood has to meet current Florida Building Code, and we do it right: permits pulled, inspections passed. No corner cutting.
Most repairs happen same-day once parts are in hand. If we’re ordering an ES glass pack, that’s usually five to seven business days out. We’ll give you a written timeframe before we start, not after.
No. We give upfront pricing with no surprise line items on the bill. If we find something unexpected, we surface it before we do anything and you approve the change in writing. That’s a square deal.
