This page is for Plantation homeowners who have ES Windows products already installed and need honest answers about repair, replacement, or custom work. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. Dale Kessler and our team treat every ES Windows job as a craft commitment, not a parts swap.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• ES Custom Shape Windows (radius, arch, trapezoid): The most common failure we see in Plantation is seal fogging along the curved glass edge. Curved glass is more expensive to produce than flat, and the bend point is where the seal fails first. We fix this by ordering OEM-matched insulated glass units with the correct radius and spacer, then resetting the sash with fresh glazing tape and a compression check. Aftermarket curved glass rarely fits the first time, so we order OEM on these every time.
• ES Architectural Grilles and SDLs (simulated divided lites): The grille clip systems on older ES lines loosen over time, especially on west-facing Plantation windows that bake in the afternoon sun. The grilles rattle, then the clips snap, and the aluminum grille bar scratches the glass. We replace the clip set with a tighter-tolerance aftermarket version, check the grille geometry against the original muntin pattern, and reset the assembly. It’s a small fix that prevents a scratched pane and a much larger bill later.
• ES Oversized Glass Panels in sliding doors and fixed windows: On ES commercial-storefront-style and large fixed residential units, we see the panel drop out of square when the original installers skipped a shim step. In Plantation, where homes settle into sandy soil, a panel that was barely square in year one is binding by year six. We pull the panel, re-shim the frame to level and plumb, reset the panel, and run a water test with a hose before we call it done. This is the kind of fix that looks like a replacement to a less careful shop, but it isn’t.
• ES Roller assemblies and track wear on sliding patio doors: ES sliding doors are well-built, but the rollers wear faster in Plantation’s humidity and salt air, especially on canal-side properties or homes within a few miles of the coast. Worn rollers cause the door to drag, then the panel to catch, and eventually the frame to warp from the repeated push. We replace rollers with heavy-gauge aftermarket equivalents, clean and re-lubricate the track, and adjust the reveal so the panel rides true. OEM rollers are available on newer lines; on older lines, a good aftermarket roller often outperforms what the original came with.
• ES custom door swing and binding: On custom ES entry doors and interior glass-panel doors, we frequently see binding at the top hinge and a gap at the bottom latch side. That’s a frame issue, not a door slab issue. We pull the door, check the jamb for plumb, re-shim the hinge side, and reset the threshold so the door closes with a quarter-inch reveal all around. In Plantation’s wet season, a door that binds is also a door that leaks, so this fix is about water as much as it is about function.

Our ES Windows Custom Windows & Doors Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a live person: You call (772) 577-2915. A person answers, not a voicemail tree. Tell us what’s happening with the window or door, and we’ll schedule a time that works for you. We’ll be there when we say we will.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and diagnosis: Our technician shows up in uniform, measures every opening twice, and takes photos of the existing frame, glass, and hardware. For ES Windows work, we identify the exact model and configuration before quoting anything.
3. 3
   Parts decision, in writing: We check OEM availability and lead time against our aftermarket network. For curved glass and proprietary hardware, we go OEM. For rollers, grille clips, and standard seals, we’ll show you the aftermarket quality options and a side-by-side quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement: We do the work carefully, shim where the original installers didn’t, test the panel for square and level, and clean up before we leave. Most ES Windows custom jobs are done in one visit.
5. 5
   Warranty registration and the Done Right Promise: Before we leave, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with the durations stated. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days under the Done Right Promise, no paperwork fights. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
