ES Windows Windows & Doors: The Boca Raton Owner’s Guide

We stock and install ES Windows-compatible windows and doors in Boca Raton, with most replacements running $4,500-$15,000 for standard window sets and $8,000-$25,000 for impact-rated installations. Most ES Windows hardware, rollers, locks, and weatherstrip components are on our trucks or available next-day through our South Florida supply chain. If you’re noticing drafts, sticking sashes, or corrosion on the coastal-grade hardware, the part has likely reached its service limit in Boca Raton’s salt-air environment.

Most Boca Raton homeowners catch ES Windows failures during seasonal cleaning, when a sash won’t stay open, a lock won’t engage fully, or water beads where it used to drain. The telltale sign we see most often in Delray Beach and Highland Beach jobs is the white calcium streaking on the frame weep holes - evidence that drainage channels are clogged and water is finding its own path.

Which ES Windows Models This Applies To

ES Windows manufactures several series common in Boca Raton subdivisions built between 2005 and 2020: the ES 100 single-hung, ES 200 horizontal roller, ES 300 casement, and the ES Impact line rated for Miami-Dade and Broward high-velocity hurricane zones. The part you need depends on which series is installed, and the identification label is usually found on the top rail of the sash or the hinge side of the frame, stamped with a six-digit model prefix and manufacturing quarter.

The critical compatibility gotcha we run into: ES Windows changed its roller axle diameter in 2014 from 3/8-inch to 7/16-inch across the 200-series horizontal rollers. A 2013 roller cart will not seat in a 2015 frame without binding the sash. We measure axle diameter and wheel width (typically 1-1/4-inch or 1-1/2-inch) before ordering, because the label alone won’t tell you which hardware revision was used.

For locks, handles, and keepers, we source OEM ES Windows parts when the finish must match existing hardware exactly - the coastal bronze and white powder coats are proprietary. For rollers, balances, and weatherstrip, we often install quality aftermarket equivalents from Truth Hardware or Amesbury that meet the same cycle-test standards at lower cost. We document which route we recommend and why in the written quote, so you know before we start.

Signs Your ES Windows Windows & Doors Is Failing

• Sash drops or won’t stay open. The coil balance or block-and-tackle system has lost tension. In Boca Raton’s humidity, the internal springs corrode faster than inland ratings suggest - we typically see this at 8-12 years instead of the 15-year manufacturer estimate.
• Lock tongue won’t extend fully or handle spins freely. The multipoint lock gearbox has stripped or the keepers have shifted due to frame settlement. ES Windows multipoint systems require precise keeper alignment; a 1/8-inch drift and the lock won’t secure.
• Rolling sash grinds, jumps, or requires two hands. The roller wheels have flat-spotted or the axle bearings have seized with salt corrosion. Once a roller starts binding, the sash frame itself takes the load and can deform the track.
• Visible water intrusion at the sill or jamb. The sill flashing, weep-hole covers, or jamb weatherstrip have failed. Boca Raton’s driving rains from the southeast expose any gap in the drainage path - the water has to go somewhere, and it’s usually the interior drywall.
• Condensation between panes that doesn’t clear. The insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed and argon fill has escaped. In Florida’s UV exposure, this is a materials-limit issue, not installation error - but it means the glass unit needs replacement, not just the frame hardware.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

What drives the range: the part itself, whether the failure has damaged adjacent components, and whether the opening requires re-flashing to current Florida Building Code. We deliver a written line-item quote before any work starts - under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is fixed and includes parts, labor, disposal, and the documented photo record. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; manufacturer warranties cover the parts themselves.

DIY or Call Us?

There’s a safe middle ground and a hard stop. An owner can clean weep holes with a pipe cleaner, lubricate accessible rollers with a silicone spray, and verify that locks engage with the sash fully closed - these are maintenance, not repair, and they’re worth doing twice a year in Boca Raton’s salt air.

Where DIY goes wrong: ES Windows coil balances are under significant tension and can release unpredictably when unhooked. The multipoint lock systems require shimming the frame square before the keepers will align - a process that involves removing interior trim and working with the sash supported. We’ve been called to jobs where a homeowner’s attempt turned a $180 roller replacement into a $900 sash-and-track repair. If the fix involves disassembling the frame or handling spring-loaded hardware, we recommend a trained technician. Call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll schedule a free estimate - written price before any work starts, as always.
