ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Delray Beach: What to Know First
We repair, replace, and install ES Windows custom and geometric units throughout Delray Beach, and we do it as an independent ES Windows service provider - not as a manufacturer rep reading from a script. Most custom geometry jobs run one to three weeks from measure to completed install, depending on glass fabrication and whether impact ratings are required. Pricing is honest and upfront: shaped and curved glass costs more than rectangular stock, and we put that difference on paper before the truck leaves the driveway. If you own an ES Windows arched transom, radius casement, or oversized trapezoid that is fogging, binding, or failing in the frame, this page is for you. Call (561) 940-2917 and a live person answers - day or night.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a solid product, but Delray Beach humidity, salt air, and afternoon sun expose the weak points in any window. Here is what we see most on custom and geometric units in this area:
- Arched and radius transoms losing their seal (ES Signature Series and custom arch-tops). The tight-radius glass bends in an arch put more stress on the edge seal than flat glass ever sees. Add Delray Beach’s wet season and the seal degrades faster than the manufacturer’s average. We replace the insulated glass unit to the exact arc, not with a forced flat-panel retrofit that looks wrong from the street.
- Trapezoid and parallelogram sashes binding in the frame (ES Colonial and ES Estate lines). Geometric windows have angled jambs that carry the sash weight unevenly. Salt air corrodes the hardware pivots and the sash drops a fraction, then the corner welds start to bind. We pull the unit, reset the hardware, and realign the frame so the sash closes square - the way it did the day it was installed.
- Curved glass bowing outward under South Florida heat load. Oversized curved-glass units absorb enormous thermal stress in the long afternoon sun. The glass flexes; the exterior glazing bead starts walking out of its channel. We rebed the glass, replace the glazing tape with a UV-stable alternative, and set the unit so there is no residual tension.
- Impact-rated geometric windows with failed laminate (PGT-adjacent ES impact series and custom impact shapes). The laminate interlayer in impact glass can delaminate at the edges after years of salt and heat cycling. Homeowners notice what looks like peeling or cloudiness at the perimeter. This is a glass replacement, not a frame repair - and it must be done with the correct interlayer spec to preserve the unit’s Miami-Dade or FBC rating.
- Factory mull joints opening on mulled geometric combos. When two or more shaped windows are mulled - say a radius top over a fixed trapezoid - the joint between them is the vulnerable point. West-facing Delray Beach walls heat and cool hard; the mull seal fails, water creeps in, and then you get staining or mold at the joint. We disassemble, reseal with the right structural silicone for the Miami-Dade wind load, and reassemble with new mull clips.
Each of these repairs starts with an inspection of the rough opening as much as the window itself. Dale Kessler grew up in Lake Ida and learned early that a window failure is often half glass, half framing. We do not fix one without checking the other.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
Every ES Windows job runs the same path, no matter how unusual the shape:
- 1
Call and schedule. You call (561) 940-2917, a live person takes the details, and we set a time. No voicemail tree.
- 2
Measure, twice. Our background-checked, uniformed tech arrives and measures every opening twice - because a radius that is off by a quarter inch is a window that will never seal. We also check the rough opening for rot, settling, or a frame that has pulled out of true.
- 3
Diagnosis on paper. We identify the exact failure - failed IGU, failed mull joint, hardware fatigue, glass delamination - and write it down with the fix, the part source, and the price. You see the numbers before you approve anything.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM where it matters, proven aftermarket where it is better. For glass, we use manufacturer-spec or equivalent IGU construction that preserves your warranty and your impact rating. For hardware, we recommend the right quality aftermarket parts where an OEM replacement would cost twice as much for the same metallurgy. We explain this choice in plain language.
- 5
Install, test, and clean. We set the window, run a full operation test, check the seal, and clean the work area. If the pane is not true, the job is not done - that rule has never had an exception.
- 6
Warranty registration before we leave. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck pulls out of your driveway. And the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights.
What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Delray Beach
Custom and geometric glass runs real money in Delray Beach, and we would rather give you a straight number than a vague range that turns into a surprise. Here is what we typically see on ES Windows jobs in this area:
- Arched or radius transom glass replacement: $400-$900 depending on arc, glass package, and whether impact rating applies.
- Trapezoid or parallelogram sash realignment with hardware replacement: $250-$600 per unit.
- Curved or bowed glass rebed and reseal: $350-$800 depending on glass size and accessibility.
- Failed mull joint repair on mulled geometric combos: $300-$700 depending on the number of joints and whether scaffolding is needed.
- Full custom impact geometric window replacement (installed): $1,800-$5,000+ per unit, driven by shape complexity, glass type, and size.
What moves the price: the arc radius, impact versus non-impact glass, the height of the opening (second-story curved glass needs lift access), and whether the frame is still sound or needs replacement. We quote the line items separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate - we measure twice, quote once, and charge what we quoted.
Why Delray Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work
Because the last contractor they tried did not answer the phone when the window failed again. We have been serving local communities since 2008 through a heritage of craft and community commitment, and TruePane was started in 2008 by Dale Kessler on a simple principle: out-of-true installs and voided warranties are problems worth fixing permanently. Every ES Windows job is backed by the Done Right Promise - if it is not done right, we make it right, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. The Keystone Standard goes further: both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave. And when we need to talk through the brand decision on a full replacement, we quote ES Windows side by side with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems on paper - you see the numbers for every line, side by side, so you know exactly what you are buying. Live people answer this phone 24/7, and we plan to be here, in Delray Beach, in thirty years.
If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee - it is a conversation. We put it in writing.
FAQs
Most of the time we can repair it. Fogged or failed glass in an arched or radius ES Windows unit is a glass-pack replacement, not a full window replacement. If the frame is still square and the hardware is functional, you keep the window and we replace the insulated glass unit to the exact original arc. If the frame is rotted or the welds are broken, replacement is the honest answer. Call (561) 940-2917 and we will tell you which one you are looking at.
No, not when the repair is done correctly. We preserve warranty coverage by using manufacturer-spec or equivalent glass construction, by not modifying the frame, and by registering both warranty layers in writing before we leave. The Keystone Standard exists specifically so your warranty does not quietly disappear because someone used the wrong sealant or the wrong glass spec. If you have doubts about your specific unit, call us and we will walk through the warranty language with you.
Typical turnaround is one to three weeks from measure to completed install, with the glass fabrication schedule driving most of that. Simple arch-top insulated units run closer to one week; oversized curved impact glass runs closer to three. We will give you an honest timeline on the first visit and we will be there when we say. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate and a real schedule.
We are an independent installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines - ES Windows included, plus Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, PGT, and CGI. If you have a mix of ES Windows geometric units and a few PGT or CGI impact windows from a previous remodel, we service the whole house in one visit. It is convenient and it saves you scheduling two companies.
It covers the workmanship in writing. If the window does not close square, if a seal fails, if a mull joint opens, or if anything we touched is not done right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing, no fine print. And because we register both manufacturer warranty layers before we leave, you have the manufacturer’s protection documented too. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule your free estimate - a live person picks up, day or night.
