Call (863) 946-5039

This page is for homeowners who already own ES Windows and need honest answers about repair costs, glass replacement, and whether their warranty still applies. Call (863) 946-5039 and Ed Winslow or a technician who knows ES Windows will talk you through what’s actually wrong, not what’s easiest to sell you.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Seal failure in ES Windows insulated glass units (IGUs). The dual-pane assemblies ES Windows uses in large picture windows and sliding glass doors depend on a flexible seal to keep argon gas in and moisture out. After 8 to 12 years of Miami’s salt air and daily thermal cycling, that seal can crack along the bottom edge. You’ll see fog or a milky haze that won’t wipe off. We replace the IGU with a new glass pack matched to your frame, not a silicone patch job that fails again in two summers.
• Low-E coating degradation on west-facing elevation glass. ES Windows Low-E coatings work great until years of direct Miami afternoon sun and occasional pressure washing with the wrong cleaner break down the micro-thin metallic layer. Symptoms look like faint rainbow streaks or cloudy patches you can feel with a fingernail. We install replacement Low-E glass with the correct coating orientation for south-facing and west-facing exposures, and we’ll tell you which cleaning products to avoid.
• Frame-to-glass seal failure on older ES Windows awning and casement units. The glazing bead and setting tape ES Windows used on certain awning and casement lines dry out and shrink in Miami’s humidity swings, especially in homes near Biscayne Bay or the Miami River. You’ll notice drafts around the glass edge, condensation between the frame and glass, or a slight whistle on windy days. We reglaze with fresh setting tape and sealant rated for coastal exposure, keeping the original frame if it’s structurally sound.
• Argon gas loss without visible fog. Not every seal failure shows moisture. A slow leak can let argon escape while the IGU still looks clear. The only sign is a sudden jump in your cooling bill or that the glass feels warm to the touch from inside on a hot Miami afternoon. We test the unit rather than guessing, then replace the glass pack with fresh argon fill and a new warm-edge spacer bar. You keep the original ES Windows frame and trim.
• UV tint fading and delamination on ES Windows laminated glass. ES Windows laminated glass uses a PVB interlayer for impact resistance and UV blocking. On older units in South Miami and Coral Gables homes with heavy sun exposure, the interlayer can start to yellow or pull away from the glass at the corners. It’s usually cosmetic at first, but it means the glass is doing less work against UV fade on your floors and furniture. We replace the laminated unit with new impact-rated glass that matches the original thickness, so your ES Windows frame doesn’t need to be altered.

Our ES Windows Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   We measure and inspect the glass, not just the brand label. Ed or a trained tech comes out, checks the spacer bar, tests for gas loss, and measures the exact glass thickness and coating orientation your unit needs.
2. 2
   We show you the problem before we quote it. You’ll see the failed seal, the fogged corner, or the faded interlayer. If it’s not broken, we tell you that too and don’t push a replacement.
3. 3
   We match the right glass package to your ES Windows frame. OEM where the manufacturer still supplies it, quality aftermarket glass fabricated to the same thickness and performance spec where OEM isn’t available or cost-effective. We’ll explain the tradeoff in plain language.
4. 4
   We install with the original frame intact. Unless the frame itself is damaged beyond a safe repair, we replace only the glass package. That keeps your ES Windows warranty on the frame intact and costs less.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. We check for drafts, confirm the seal is seated, and make sure the window opens and closes exactly like it did before.
6. 6
   We back it with our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If the glass or the install isn’t right, we come back. Ed Winslow’s name is on the work, not a ticket number.
