AfterES Windows Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent ES Windows service across Palm Beach, from routine hardware replacement to full historic restoration. The single factor that separates our ES Windows work here from anywhere else: every job on this island has to satisfy both the town’s Architectural Commission and Florida’s impact-code requirements, often on the same opening. Our crews have been doing exactly that for years. If you have an ES Windows unit that’s sticking, corroding, or leaking, call (850) 801-5596. Dale Kessler and our team will come look at it, tell you straight what it needs, and quote the work on paper.
Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
ES Windows aren’t something you learn from a catalog. The brand builds slim-profile aluminum frames and custom radius units that end up on Mizner-era estates, oceanfront contemporaries, and Intracoastal-facing homes throughout Palm Beach. Their hardware tolerances are tight. Their weatherstripping is proprietary. Their finishes are specific. We’ve spent years working on these systems, including on landmarked properties where the frame geometry is anything but standard.
Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up in El Cid, west of the Intracoastal, watching his father repair jalousie windows on houses that had weathered forty Florida summers. That taught him early what salt air does to aluminum and stainless hardware. After training in glazing and building construction at Palm Beach State College, he built a career around the idea that a window is only as good as its worst seal. We bring that same standard to every ES Windows repair, service, and Window Installation - Palm Beach replacement we take on.
We’re an independent ES Windows service provider. We’re not the manufacturer, and we don’t pretend to be. What that means in practice: when we tell you a part is worth replacing with OEM, it’s because we’ve seen what the aftermarket version does after two seasons of salt spray, not because a brand rep told us to say it. And when a repair isn’t worth doing, we’ll tell you that too, with a written quote for the alternative.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach
Here’s what we see most often on ES Windows units in Palm Beach, and why it happens here specifically:
- Salt-air pitting and corrosion on exposed aluminum frames and stainless hardware. Palm Beach sits on a barrier island less than half a mile wide. That means ocean salt on the east side, Intracoastal salt on the west side, and no real relief in between. ES Windows’ slim profiles look sharp, but the exposed surfaces take a beating. We strip, convert, and recoat these frames with marine-grade products, and replace pitted hinges and operators before they seize.
- Weatherstripping compression-set and loss of seal on casement and awning vents. Coastal humidity here stays high year-round, and the thermal cycling between air-conditioned interiors and 90-degree exterior heat works the seals hard. ES Windows weatherstripping can compress flat and stop rebounding. We replace it with OEM or matched-density profiles so the vent closes tight and the A/C stops leaking out the frame.
- Sticking or misaligned sashes on custom arched and radius ES Windows units. The 1920s and 1930s estates in Palm Beach were built before anyone planned for impact glass. Original cast-stone surrounds settle, shift, and transmit that movement into the frame. ES Windows radius units are precise. When the rough opening moves, the sash binds. We reset the stone, shim the frame back to true, and get the unit operating without touching the historic sightlines. If the frame is right and the glass is rated, the rest is just following through.
- Finish delamination and sealant failure around impact glazing beads. On Palm Beach’s oceanfront and landmarked homes, ES Windows narrow frames meet thick masonry, and the glazing bead is the first point of failure. Salt spray gets under failed sealant, the finish starts lifting, and water follows. We remove the old bead, prep the channel properly, and re-seal with products rated for coastal exposure.
- Failed casement operators and stripped hinge arms on barrier-island installations. Wind-driven sand on Palm Beach works itself into hinge mechanisms and gear tracks faster than anything inland. We see ES Windows casement operators that still look new on the interior but are grinding internally. OEM replacement is usually the right call, especially where ARCOM has already approved the original hardware profile.
ES Windows Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Palm Beach is the only municipality in Florida where a window swap on a landmarked Mizner-era estate has to pass ARCOM design review using the original 1920s cast-stone jamb depth. That’s not a footnote. It means the standard ES Windows frame extrusion, the one where the frame depth matches a modern rough opening, often will not sit flush with the historic jamb. The geometry is wrong before you even get to the impact-rating question. To make an ES Windows unit work in one of these openings, the frame has to be custom-fabricated to match the existing depth, and the flashing has to be maritime-grade, because the barrier island gives you salt exposure on both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides. We stock the flashings and conversion coatings these jobs require. Most inland shops never see a single request for them, which is exactly why we keep them on hand.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach
We service the full ES Windows line we encounter across Palm Beach: the Classic Series, Estate Series, Impact Series, and Custom Arch & Radius Series. The Classic and Estate lines show up most often on older estates and low-rise condominiums, while the Impact Series is the common answer on oceanfront and Intracoastal renovations where Florida Product Approval is non-negotiable. The Custom Arch & Radius Series is what we see on Mediterranean Revival homes built around original arched stone surrounds, where the window has to match a curve that hasn’t changed since 1927.
For critical hardware and weatherstripping, we order OEM ES Windows parts. For discontinued trims or obsolete rollers, we source or machine quality equivalents and tell you exactly what you’re getting before we install it. Our ES Windows sales & service work always starts with an honest repair-versus-replace conversation based on frame integrity, glass condition, and whether the property falls under ARCOM or Landmarks Preservation Commission review.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Palm Beach
Most ES Windows service calls in Palm Beach run between $150 and $500 for diagnosis and common repairs like seal replacement, operator adjustment, or hardware swaps. Larger jobs, like a full sash rebuild or replacing multiple impact units on a landmarked property, run higher, and the ARCOM review process adds time and cost that no other municipality in the county imposes. Our free estimate includes a written line-item breakdown, the warranty durations in writing, and a straight answer on what’s worth repairing versus replacing. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule yours - you won’t get a callback form or a voicemail tree. A live person answers, day or night.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Usually yes, but with custom fabrication. The original cast-stone jamb depth on a Mizner-era opening doesn’t match a standard ES Windows frame extrusion, so the unit has to be built to the existing geometry. If the frame profile and sightlines stay true to the original, ARCOM typically reviews the application without requiring a full redesign. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your property.
Because Palm Beach is a barrier island with salt water on both sides. The Intracoastal side doesn’t get the direct Atlantic wave spray, but it gets constant brackish humidity and steady salt-laden air moving across the waterway. ES Windows stainless hardware is quality material, but no stainless grade shrugs off that environment without maintenance. We recommend marine-grade conversion coatings and regular hardware inspection on Intracoastal-facing elevations.
They do. Wind-driven sand from the beach gets into the operator gears and hinge tracks, and it grinds away at the mechanism. We see it on oceanfront homes and on properties within a few blocks of the dune line. Replacing the operator with an OEM ES Windows unit is usually the right fix, and it’s a job we can handle the day we’re out there if the part is stocked.
Yes. We carry the conversion coatings and finish-matched paints used on ES Windows dark bronze, and we’ve matched them against original units on landmarked properties across Palm Beach. On a South Ocean Boulevard estate, we restored three ES Windows Estate Series casements that had pitted hinges, refinished the frames to match the surrounding bronze work, and ARCOM signed off without a single change to the sightlines.
Some early ES Windows units, especially non-impact Classic Series from before the current Florida Product Approval standards, cannot be brought up to code once the seal has failed. In those cases, patching the seal buys time, but replacement with an Impact Series unit is the only compliant long-term answer. We’ll tell you which side of that line your windows fall on, and quote both options so you can decide. Call (850) 801-5596 for an honest assessment.
