This page is for homeowners in Palm Beach who already know the ES Windows name and want someone who understands how these windows age in salt air and humidity. We’ll cover the failure points we see on ES Windows energy-efficient windows, what repairs actually cost in this market, and why we handle ES Windows differently than a parts-swapper would.

How ES Windows Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

• Seal failure on ES Windows impact-rated double panes. ES Windows builds a lot of impact-rated insulated glass units for coastal Florida, and we regularly see fogging between the panes on homes within a mile of the Intracoastal in Palm Beach. The real cause is usually a compromised edge seal from years of thermal cycling plus salt-laden air working on the perimeter. The fix is a new IGU, not a patch job, because once the desiccant inside the spacer is saturated, the fog comes back. We order the replacement unit to the original glass makeup so the energy rating stays intact.
• Argon gas loss in ES Windows Low-E units. When an ES Windows energy-efficient window loses its argon fill, the U-factor quietly rises and the homeowner feels a draft that is not actually a draft. The telltale sign is condensation forming in the center of the glass on a cool morning, not just at the edges. We verify gas loss with a glass analyzer, then rebuild the unit with the correct gas fill percentage for Palm Beach’s climate zone, which is different from what a spec sheet written for a northern market would assume.
• Frame gasket and weatherstripping degradation on ES Windows aluminum lines. Palm Beach sun is hard on rubber and EPDM. On ES Windows aluminum-framed units, we see the glazing gaskets turn brittle and pull away from the frame, especially on west-facing elevations along South Olive Avenue and the lakefront. That gap leaks conditioned air and pushes the HVAC bill up. We replace the gasket with a marine-grade material rated for UV exposure, not a generic extrusion that will harden again in three summers.
• Hardware misalignment causing incomplete compression on ES Windows casement and awning units. ES Windows makes a tighter-operating casement and awning than most, but when the hinges wear or a hinge screw pulls loose from the frame, the sash stops compressing the weatherstrip fully. The window looks closed, but air moves. We re-set the hardware, shim the hinge points, and test the compression with a feeler gauge before calling it done.
• Low-E coating degradation on older ES Windows single-pane retrofits. On some of the earlier ES Windows energy-efficient glass, the Low-E coating would develop a visible hazing after fifteen or more years of direct Florida sun. Nothing removes it. The glass has to be replaced. When we see this on a Palm Beach job, we quote the replacement with a modern double-pane unit and let the numbers tell the story: the new unit pays for itself in reduced solar heat gain, and the home gets quieter as a side benefit.

Our ES Windows Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   Call us and a live person answers. Not a callback form, not a voicemail tree. We schedule a time that works for you, and we show up when we say we will.
2. 2
   We inspect every opening and measure twice. Dale Kessler grew up watching his father repair jalousie windows in El Cid, and the habit stuck: on every ES Windows job, we measure both diagonal dimensions of the rough opening before we order anything. An eighth of an inch out of square changes how the window sets.
3. 3
   We quote the repair and the replacement side by side, on paper. If the ES Windows unit can be rebuilt and re-rated, we quote that. If replacement is the honest call, we quote it. We won’t push a full replacement when a seal replacement and gas refill returns the window to spec.
4. 4
   We use OEM parts where they matter and proven aftermarket parts where they are equal. For ES Windows glass units, we order the replacement IGU to match the original spec. For hardware and gaskets, we use materials we have tested in Palm Beach conditions and would put in our own homes. The parts decision is written on the work order, not buried in a verbal assurance.
5. 5
   We install, test, and register. The Keystone Standard applies to every job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. We test the unit for air movement, condensation potential, and proper operation, then walk you through what we did and why.
6. 6
   We stand behind it with the Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.

What ES Windows Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Palm Beach

Here is what we typically see on ES Windows work in Palm Beach. These are line-item ranges for the common scenarios, not a quote. Every home is different, and we price the job after we measure.

• IGU replacement on a single ES Windows double-pane unit, including new spacer, desiccant, glass, gas fill, and labor: $450 to $900 per window depending on size, impact rating, and tint.
• Full ES Windows replacement with a mid-range Low-E double-pane, insulated aluminum frame, standard size: $850 to $1,600 per opening installed.
• Full ES Windows replacement with impact-rated insulated glass and upgraded Low-E coatings for coastal exposure: $1,800 to $3,200 per opening installed.
• Weatherstripping and gasket replacement on an existing ES Windows unit: $110 to $260 per window, parts and labor.
• Complete hardware re-set and compression test on an ES Windows casement or awning: $140 to $300 per sash.

What moves the price: impact-rating requirements, glass tint, size, second-story access, and whether the existing frame is square enough to take a new IGU without a full re-set. We quote a fixed number before work starts, so if the job runs longer than we planned, the bill does not move. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the numbers in writing.
