This page is for Miami homeowners who own ES Windows products and need straight answers about custom shapes: what fails, what it costs to fix, and how to get the job done without replacing a perfectly good frame. Ed Winslow grew up in Hialeah, learned glazing through the building trades program at Miami Dade College, and has spent years pulling apart ES Windows units across Miami-Dade. He knows which series hold up and which ones have a nasty habit of failing at the seams.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows builds a solid aluminum product, but Miami’s combination of salt air, intense UV, and hurricane-driven rain finds the weak spots in any frame. Here’s what we see most often on custom and geometric units:

• Stress cracks at the corners of angled glass. Geometric shapes concentrate pressure where two lines meet - a 45-degree corner on a pentagon window carries stress that a rectangle never will. We see this frequently on ES Windows custom units with tempered glass that’s been seated slightly off-axis. The fix is a full glass replacement with proper shimming, not just a bead of silicone over the crack.
• Failed glazing seals on curved-top transoms. Miami’s wet season pushes moisture against arched windows day after day. ES Windows aluminum frames hold up well, but the flexible glazing tape at the curve of an arch degrades faster than the straight sections. We remove the old tape, clean the channel, and re-bed the glass with a marine-grade sealant rated for continuous salt exposure.
• Corrosion at the bottom corners of fixed geometric picture windows. Water pools at the sill, and if the weep holes get clogged with pollen and dust (a real issue in Miami’s spring), the frame sits in standing water. ES Windows frames are aluminum, so they don’t rot - but the corner keys and screws can corrode. We drill out the old fasteners, tap new threads, and treat the area with a corrosion inhibitor before reassembly.
• Hardware strain on oversized casement and awning windows. ES Windows makes large operable units for high-end Miami builds, and the hinge systems on wide awnings eventually fatigue. The early symptom is a window that won’t seat fully at the top corner. We rebuild or replace the hinge assembly and re-align the sash - far cheaper than replacing the window.
• Impact-glazed custom units with delaminating laminate. ES Windows impact glass uses an interlayer that can develop clouding or edge separation after years of Miami heat cycling, especially on dark-framed windows that bake in the afternoon sun. We source OEM-spec glass replacements when possible, and when lead times run long we offer proven aftermarket equivalents that meet Miami-Dade impact standards.

Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Every ES Windows job follows the same discipline, whether we’re fixing a leaking eyebrow window in Coconut Grove or replacing a broken trapezoid unit in Pinecrest:

1. 1
   Call. You reach a live person at (863) 946-5039. We ask what shape the window is, where it’s located in the house, and what you’re seeing. That tells us which technician to send.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic. We measure the frame, check for racking, inspect the glass edge, and test the seal. On geometric units we look specifically at corner stress points and sightlines - a window that looks fine from inside may be failing at the frame corner from outside.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We tell you honestly whether we can save the existing frame and replace only glass or hardware, or whether the frame itself has failed. We use OEM-spec parts where the warranty and budget support it, and quality aftermarket components when they’re the smarter spend for an older unit.
4. 4
   The work. Custom glass is cut to exact dimensions, tempered or laminated per code, and seated with spacer systems matched to the original design. For geometric shapes, every cut is measured against the actual opening, not a catalog spec - Miami homes settle, and frames shift.
5. 5
   Test and verify. We run a water test on the frame, check the operation, and confirm the seal. You see the window work before we leave.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every job falls under our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right - no invoice, no argument.

What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Miami

Real numbers from real jobs, not brochure pricing:

• Glass replacement on a standard arched transom: $600-$1,100
• Corner crack repair on a geometric picture window (glass only, frame intact): $750-$1,500
• Full frame rebuild with new impact glass, oversized trapezoid or pentagon unit: $1,800-$3,500
• Hardware rebuild on an oversized awning or casement window: $400-$900
• Complete replacement of a custom geometric unit (measured, fabricated, installed): $2,400-$4,800+ depending on size and glass

What moves the price: impact-rated glass versus standard tempered, frame condition, accessibility (second-story geometric windows require scaffold or lift work), and whether the unit is a one-off shape or part of a matching series. You’ll get a fixed, written quote before any work begins, and the price doesn’t change once we start. Call (863) 946-5039 for your free estimate.
