Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose ES Windows Construction
We’re an independent Es Windows in Fort Lauderdale service team, and we repair and install these high-end aluminum and impact-rated systems without the runaround. Most ES Windows problems we see don’t require a full replacement. Salt-air pitting, worn rollers, failed mitered corner seals, and seized interlocks are fixable with the right parts and the right hands. Call (754) 354-3720 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
ES Windows builds some of the toughest aluminum frames in the impact market. Their Series 500, 700, 9500, and 3000 lines show up in coastal high-rises, intracoastal mid-rises, and older single-family homes across Fort Lauderdale, especially east of US-1 where hurricane codes and salt spray punish every exterior component. We have spent years taking these units apart and putting them back together correctly. That means we know which parts fail, why they fail, and when a repair will outlast a replacement. We are not affiliated with or authorized by ES Windows. We are an independent service provider. That independence means our loyalty is to your house, not a manufacturer’s replacement quota.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale for Your ES Windows Construction?
Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and picked up his first framing tools as a teenager before studying construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He has spent the better part of two decades running remodeling and construction projects across South Florida, with a good stretch of that time in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park. He has opened enough walls and pulled enough window sashes to know what failing aluminum looks like before it becomes a problem. The same discipline applies to every ES Windows job we take on.
Our techs work on ES Windows units every month. They recognize the feel of a worn roller assembly on a Series 500 impact slider and the specific white corrosion pattern that forms where salt spray settles on a Series 700 frame. We use genuine ES Windows replacement parts whenever possible, especially rollers, keepers, and weatherstripping. Aftermarket dimensions differ by millimeters, and a millimeter is enough to make a sash bind or a lock miss its keeper. When the right part no longer exists, we source quality equivalent hardware and tell you exactly what we are installing and why. Every crew member who comes to your door is background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name and photo before the visit. That is the Threshold Standard, and it applies on every job we run.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale
- Aluminum frame pitting and white corrosion on coastal homes. Salt-laden air off the Atlantic and the intracoastal settles into the frame’s clear anodized or painted finish. Over a few seasons, hairline pits open up, then white oxidation blooms at the corners and along the sill track. Series 500 and Series 700 frames on older Fort Lauderdale condos show this first where sprinkler overspray hits the glass. We clean the corrosion, neutralize the oxidation, and re-seal the affected frame. If the pitting has compromised the structural web, we will be honest about replacement.
- Mitered corner leaks where the factory silicone fails. The 45-degree mitered joints on ES Windows aluminum frames are sealed at the factory, but a decade of UV exposure and thermal movement eventually breaks that bond. Water creeps into the track, then into the drywall below. On a Series 9500 picture window or a fixed lite beside a slider, this shows up as a water stain at the interior corner. We pull the corner joint, clean out the old sealant, and re-bed it with marine-grade silicone rated for coastal exposure in Fort Lauderdale.
- Roller assemblies wearing out on heavier impact sashes. ES Windows impact sashes carry thick laminated glass, and that weight sits on two or four roller assemblies. In Series 500 sliders and Series 3000 horizontal rollers, the nylon wheel bearings wear flat, which causes the sash to stick or derail when you try to slide it. Homeowners often think the track is bent. It is usually the rollers. We replace them with OEM stainless steel roller assemblies and adjust the sash so the track sits square with the jamb.
- Sliding door interlocks corroding and seizing. The interlock is the vertical aluminum extrusion where the active panel meets the stationary panel on an ES Windows sliding door. In Fort Lauderdale, salt spray and summer humidity work their way into the interlock channel and corrode the internal locking pin. The result is a door that will not lock or a handle that will not turn. We disassemble the interlock, clean out the corrosion, replace the lock cylinder or keeper as needed, and lubricate the mechanism with a non-petroleum grease that will not attract sand.
- Weatherstripping degradation from UV and heat. The pile weatherstripping on ES Windows doors and windows is the first line against air and water infiltration. South Florida sun bakes it brittle, and salt air accelerates the breakdown. You will feel a draft along the sash edge or see daylight at the meeting rail. We replace worn pile with OEM-profile weatherstripping matched to the original channel width. On Series 700 and Series 9500 windows, this is a quick job that makes a measurable difference in your A/C load.
ES Windows Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use genuine ES Windows parts whenever they are available. Rollers, keepers, locking pawls, and weatherstripping are the parts we will not substitute with aftermarket, because the dimensional tolerances are too tight. A roller that is half a millimeter too tall will lift the sash and throw the lock out of alignment. A keeper that is a fraction too deep will let the door rattle in its track.
When an ES Windows unit is old enough that the original part is discontinued, we source quality equivalent hardware. We will show you the replacement part and explain the difference before we install it. Some repair jobs do not make economic sense. If the frame is deeply pitted, the glass is fogged, or the sash is racked, we will tell you that a full sash replacement is cheaper over five years than repeated patchwork. On a 1960s ranch near Victoria Park, our crew replaced two failed Series 500 impact sliders that had salt-pitted tracks and seized rollers. We pulled the old sashes, swapped in OEM stainless steel rollers and new pile weatherstripping, then re-bedded the exterior flange with marine-grade sealant. The homeowner no longer has a breeze flowing through the closed window, and the frames run smooth after six months of salt air. If you are not sure whether your ES Windows unit should be repaired or replaced, call (754) 354-3720 for a written assessment, not a sales pitch.
Our ES Windows Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We identify the specific failure on your ES Windows unit. We measure the frame, inspect the rollers or hinges, test the interlock, and check for water intrusion at the mitered corners. The quote comes from what we find, not from a phone description.
- 2
Repair or install. We order the correct ES Windows or OEM-compatible parts, then schedule the work. For impact window or full replacement projects, we pull the old unit, flash the rough opening per Fort Lauderdale wind-load requirements, and set the new frame plumb and square. For roof repair work tied to window leaks, we address the roof penetration or flashing first so the window weatherstripping is not the only thing holding water back.
- 3
Test. We run the sash or door through its full travel, check the locking action, and water-test exterior seals where necessary. We will show you what we fixed and what we did.
- 4
Warranty. Every completed project is covered by a written guarantee with clearly stated terms. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies here. If the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
No. We are an independent ES Windows service provider. We are not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer. That independence means we have no incentive to push replacements over repairs. Call (754) 354-3720 for an honest assessment of your ES Windows unit.
Look for a faint water stain at the interior drywall corner directly below the window or at the joint where two aluminum frame pieces meet at a 45-degree angle. You may also see ghosting or paint bubbling along that seam after a heavy Fort Lauderdale downpour. The factory silicone at the miter has failed and water is riding through the joint into the wall. We re-bed the corner with marine-grade sealant. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule a look.
Yes. ES Windows uses standard anodized and painted frame finishes, and we order the replacement sash from the same manufacturer’s color code where it is still produced. For older or discontinued colors, we can powder-coat a replacement sash to match the existing frame closely. There will be a slight texture difference at the corner joint, but the color itself will not stand out. Call (754) 354-3720 for a quote.
Aluminum expands in heat. Fort Lauderdale summer temperatures can push a Series 500 or Series 700 door frame tight enough that a marginally worn roller or a buildup of salt and dust in the track causes the door to drag or jam. In winter, the frame contracts slightly and the door slides more easily. The fix is usually cleaning the track, checking the roller assemblies, and adjusting the sash. We handle this repair regularly. Call (754) 354-3720.
Rarely. Most ES Windows pocket door jamming comes from a corroded interlock or a misaligned keeper, not a failed door. If the slab itself is straight and the rollers run, we can replace the lock cylinder, clean the interlock channel, and realign the keeper. That is a service call, not a replacement. If the slab is badly racked, we will tell you. Call (754) 354-3720 for an assessment.
Fogging means the sealed unit has lost its argon or krypton fill and moisture has worked into the airspace. ES Windows glazing warranties vary by series and installation date. We can help you identify the glass unit’s manufacturing date and determine whether a warranty claim is worth filing. If the warranty has lapsed, replacing the insulated glass unit, not the whole window, is usually the right fix. Call (754) 354-3720 and we will explain the options and the cost.
The cost depends on the unit, the failure, and whether we are repairing or replacing. Here are the price ranges we give Fort Lauderdale homeowners for the services tied to ES Windows work:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
Repair work on existing ES Windows units, such as roller replacement, weatherstripping, or interlock repair, falls inside these broader service lines and is quoted after diagnosis. Every quote is written, not verbal. No price changes once we start, and we do not offer vague estimates that grow on the final bill. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact written price on your ES Windows job.
