Why Boca Raton Homeowners Choose ES Windows Windows & Doors
We provide independent ES Windows service in Boca Raton, from the waterfront high-rises along A1A to the Arvida-era communities west of I-95. Our team has disassembled, repaired, and reinstalled hundreds of ES Windows units, and we know exactly how these products behave after a decade of salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and the occasional hurricane close call. TruePane Windows & Doors is not affiliated with or authorized by ES Windows, and we’re straightforward about that. What we are is a local independent ES Windows service provider with the repair knowledge that only comes from pulling hundreds of these units apart and putting them back square. If you have an ES-7700 casement that whistles in a northeast wind or an ES-220 slider that binds after rain, call us at (561) 264-1337 and we’ll tell you straight what you’re dealing with.
Why Trust TruePane Windows & Doors for Your ES Windows Windows & Doors?
There’s a difference between a contractor who has seen ES Windows in a catalog and one who has spent years setting their compression seals, re-profiling their multi-point locks, and replacing their laminated glass units. We’re the second kind. Dale Kessler grew up in Boca Teeca, where his father spent weekends replacing jalousie windows in every house on the block, and he’s been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Palm Beach County for more than two decades. Our technicians work on ES Windows units the way a mechanic works on a car they’ve serviced for years: they know the torque patterns, the seal profiles, and the failure points before the first screw comes out. Every ES Windows repair and window installation we do is backed by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every ES Windows job we take in Boca Raton.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Fix in Boca Raton
- Loss of compression seal on ES-7700 casement sashes. The ES-7700 Series Aluminum Impact Casement is built to take a wind load, but the compression gasket that seals the sash against the frame eventually loses its memory, especially within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. The first sign is a whistle on breezy days. The second sign is water wicking into the jamb during a driving rain. We replace the OEM weatherstrips and re-set the sash so the seal loads evenly all the way around.
- Multi-point lock misalignment on ES-7700 casements. Boca’s salt air works on aluminum hardware the way it works on everything else on the coast: slowly, then all at once. The multi-point lock rods and striker plates on ES-7700 casements expand and shift as the hardware oxidizes, leaving the lock either jammed or sloppy. We re-profile the striker plates, clean the lock tracks, and re-time the multi-point mechanism so it locks square without forcing, which is the only way it was ever meant to operate.
- Fogging between laminated impact glass panes. ES Windows impact glass is laminated for a reason: it holds together under debris impact. But the desiccant seals around the insulated glass unit eventually fail, and when they do, moisture gets between the panes and stays there. That fog can’t be wiped off because it’s on the inside of the unit. We replace the sealed glass unit, not just the exterior pane, and we register the new glass with the manufacturer so the warranty clock starts fresh.
- ES-5500 awning sash hinge wear and squeaking. The ES-5500 Series Aluminum Impact Awning is a good operator, but the hinge pivot points are exposed to the same salt-laden air that eats everything else in Boca. Once the factory grease washes out, the stainless hinge barrels begin to gall against each other and the sash starts to squeak with every open and close. We disassemble the hinge sets, clean them, re-lubricate with marine-grade grease, and replace any pivot pins that have pitted beyond spec.
- ES-220 sliding glass door rollers binding or seizing. If you live anywhere near Boca’s barrier island or along the Intracoastal, sand finds its way into door tracks. It happens slowly, a grain at a time, until your ES-220 Series Aluminum Sliding Glass Door starts dragging like it has a flat tire. The steel roller bearings inside the assembly delaminate and the roller binds. We pull the panel, clean the track, and replace the roller assemblies with precision-machined aftermarket rollers that match or exceed factory tolerance. Then we adjust the panel height so it glides with gravity instead of fighting it.
ES Windows Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We source exact OEM replacement hardware, gaskets, and laminated glass units for ES Windows whenever the part is available and the warranty status requires it. Where OEM parts fall short, we use precision-machined aftermarket rollers and multi-point lock components that match or exceed factory tolerance. Every ES Windows repair starts with an assessment of the frame itself. We always assess whether a full frame replacement is safer for near-coast wind codes, but when the existing ES Windows frame is structurally sound, we recommend an insert replacement and leave the frame in place. That’s often the difference between a one-day job and a multi-week tear-out. We’ll show you the numbers for both options, side by side, on paper. Then you decide. No one at TruePane will push a full-frame replacement because it’s a bigger invoice. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll tell you which direction makes sense for your building and your budget.
Our ES Windows Service Process - Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis on site. Our technician pulls the sash, inspects the compression seal, checks multi-point lock rod alignment, and runs a flashlight around the entire frame looking for daylight and moisture intrusion. We work on ES Windows units in Boca’s high-rises and single-family homes, and we know the difference between a seal failure and a frame that shifted with the building.
- 2
Repair or install, with the right parts. Whether it’s an ES-7700 casement weatherstrip, an ES-220 slider roller, or a full-frame ES-7700 Series retrofit, we use the parts that will hold: OEM where it matters, precision aftermarket where it outperforms factory spec. Every opening gets measured twice, the way Dale learned from his father.
- 3
Operational testing, not a quick visual. We cycle every casement, awning, and slider through its full range of motion, check the lock timing on multi-point hardware, and run a compression seal test on any unit that’s supposed to stand up to wind-driven rain. If it doesn’t operate smooth and seal tight, we adjust it until it does.
- 4
Warranty and promise, in writing. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves the driveway. Your Done Right Promise is active from that same moment. If something’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors Service in Boca Raton
In most cases, you can replace just the laminated insulated glass unit without buying a whole new sash. We remove the glazing stops, swap the sealed unit, and reset the compression seal, which costs far less than a full sash replacement. The one exception is when the casement frame itself has corroded to the point that a new glass unit would sit crooked and compromise the seal. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in after we pull the sash. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
The squeak is almost always dried-out or salt-contaminated hinge lubricant. Boca’s salt air finds its way into the hinge pivot points on ES-5500 awning sashes, pushes out the factory grease, and leaves metal-on-metal contact that squeaks with every open and close. We disassemble the hinge sets, clean them, re-lubricate with marine-grade grease, and replace any pitted pivot pins. It’s a quick fix, and it extends hinge life years beyond what you’d get ignoring the noise.
It’s not normal, but it is common on Boca’s coastal edge. Heavy rain pushes sand and fine debris into the ES-220 door track, and once that grit works its way into the roller bearings, the rollers bind and the door drags. The fix is pulling the panel, cleaning the track, and replacing the roller assemblies, then adjusting the panel height so it rolls square and smooth. If you catch it early, you save the track itself, which is far more expensive to replace. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll get it rolling right.
Yes, and we do it regularly in Boca Raton. If the existing ES Windows frame is square, structurally sound, and shows no signs of salt-water intrusion at the fasteners, an insert replacement preserves the original waterproofing and costs far less than a full tear-out. We only recommend full frame replacement when the existing frame has pitted, corroded, or shifted out of square, or when near-coast wind codes demand an upgraded assembly. We’ll show you the difference on paper.
The most common post-storm failure we see is compression seal damage on ES-7700 casements caused by wind-driven rain forcing its way past a weakened gasket. The seal was probably already compromised before the storm, and the sustained pressure finished the job. Water gets into the jamb, wicks through the flashing, and shows up days later as a musty smell or a water stain on the interior sill. That’s why we recommend an annual seal inspection on any ES Windows unit within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate.
ES Windows repair pricing in Boca Raton varies by job, but here’s what we see most often: compression seal replacement on a single casement runs roughly $180 to $340 depending on unit size and accessibility; roller replacement on an ES-220 slider typically runs $250 to $450; a new laminated insulated glass unit for an ES-7700 casement generally falls between $600 and $1,200 installed; and a full-frame ES-7700 retrofit can run $2,800 to $6,000 per opening depending on size, glass package, and whether we’re pulling a permit. We offer a free written repair estimate, a maintenance check, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Every quote is line-item, in writing, before work starts. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact number.
