ES Windows Windows & Doors: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
ES Windows replacement and repair in Pompano Beach typically runs $450-$1,200 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum units, with impact-rated ES Windows systems landing in the $800-$2,400 range depending on series and size. We stock common ES Windows hardware, balances, and weatherstrip profiles on our Pompano Beach trucks, and most part replacements are completed in a single visit. Homeowners usually discover trouble when a window won’t stay open, a door latch won’t engage the jamb, or they feel salt air blowing past a closed sash - the kind of gradual failure that gets worse every hurricane season.
Which ES Windows Models This Applies To
ES Windows manufactures across several product lines, and the part you need depends on series, vintage, and whether your unit is impact-rated. The ES 100 and ES 200 series are the aluminum single-hung and horizontal roller workhorses you’ll see throughout Pompano Beach’s 1980s-2000s construction, with stamped series numbers on the sash lock or roller track. The ES Impact line (ES 3000 and ES 5000 series) uses heavier-duty balances, laminated glass retainers, and reinforced multi-point locks that do not interchange with standard series hardware.
To identify your part, check the etched code in the glass corner or the sticker on the frame head - it lists the series, date of manufacture, and DP (design pressure) rating. A DP-50 sticker means impact-rated; standard units carry DP-30 or less. We source OEM ES Windows parts direct from the manufacturer’s Miami-Dade distribution when available, and where lead times stretch past two weeks, we spec quality aftermarket equivalents from Truth Hardware or Amesbury that meet the same load and cycle ratings. One compatibility gotcha: ES Windows changed its roller housing geometry in 2016, so a 2015 ES 200 roller will not seat in a 2017 frame without shimming - we measure before we order.
Signs Your ES Windows Windows & Doors Is Failing

- Sash drops or won’t stay open. The coil balance or spiral tensioner has lost preload, usually from corrosion in the balance shoe. In Pompano Beach, salt air accelerates this - we see it in units within eight years of install, sooner if the weep holes are clogged and water sits in the frame.
- Hard to lock or latch won’t catch. The multipoint lock mechanism has worn cam surfaces, or the keeper has shifted as the frame settled. On ES Impact units, this often traces to a single failed locking point that overloads the others.
- Air or water infiltration around closed sash. Compression weatherstrip has hardened or the wool pile is flattened. Florida UV degrades silicone bulb seals in roughly six to eight years; replacement restores the original DP rating only if we match the exact profile dimension.
- Roller grinding or door jumps track. The tandem roller assembly has flat-spotted wheels or corroded axles. ES horizontal rollers use either 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch wheel diameters depending on series - wrong size chews the track.
- Condensation between glass panes. The insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. ES Windows IGUs are replaceable without changing the frame, but the glass thickness and Low-E coating must match for energy code compliance in Broward County.

What drives the range: unit size, whether the frame is square and reusable, and whether the original installation used proper shims and fasteners or shortcuts we need to correct. Our quote is a flat written price with line-item parts and labor - no change order unless you add scope, and under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, that price is locked before anyone picks up a tool. Every ES Windows repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the balance drags or the latch slips, we make it right. You’ll also receive a documented photo record of the failed part, the installed replacement, and the final operation test.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s safe checking, and then there’s the work itself. A homeowner can verify the series stamp, clear weep holes with a wire, and lubricate rollers with silicone spray - all sensible maintenance. But ES Windows coil balances store significant tension; releasing one without a winding tool can snap the balance or the sash into your hands. Impact-rated units are heavier than they look, and the multipoint lock alignment requires shimming the frame square before the keeper will engage properly. We’ve been called to Pompano Beach homes where a DIY roller swap left the door racked and the track gouged - the $12 part became a $400 frame repair. If you’re not certain of the series match or the frame condition, call us. We’ll measure twice, say it once, show our work, and give you a written price before any work starts.
FAQs
Standard balances and rollers last eight to twelve years in coastal Broward County; impact-rated hardware closer to ten to fifteen with annual track cleaning and weep hole maintenance. Salt air and UV are the accelerators - units within a mile of the Intracoastal see faster corrosion. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll inspect the specific wear points at no charge.
Sometimes: a dry roller can be lubricated, a clogged weep hole cleared, a loose keeper remounted. But coil balances, failed IGUs, and cracked weatherstrip profiles are replace-only - the part is sealed or fatigued and will fail again. We tell you which category yours falls into before quoting. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact assessment - estimates are free.
Standard hardware swaps run ninety minutes to three hours per opening; IGU replacements two to four hours including cure time for sealants. We sequence tightly so you’re not waiting between trades - that’s the discipline Grant Rowan built this operation on. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule.
We carry common ES 100/200 series balances, rollers, locks, and weatherstrip profiles on our Pompano Beach trucks.

Call (754) 714-6540 to set up a visit.
