ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Davie: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows custom and geometric window service across Davie, including arched, curved, radius, triangle, trapezoid, and oversized opening work. Most custom and geometric ES Windows jobs are quoted within one business day and completed in a single visit, because the frame is rarely the problem; the hardware, seal, or installation was. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we are not the manufacturer’s service arm, which means we fix the actual failure instead of steering you toward a replacement you may not need. If you own an ES Windows custom or geometric window in Davie and it is binding, fogging, leaking, or not locking, call (863) 208-5172 and ask for a free estimate.
This page is for Davie homeowners who already own ES Windows products and need an honest assessment of what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether the window is worth repairing or replacing. Dale Kessler founded TruePane because out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently, and that is exactly the standard we bring to every ES Windows job in Davie.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ES Windows builds a well-engineered frame, but in Davie’s climate, the weak points show up at the joints, seals, and hardware. Here is what we actually see on custom and geometric ES Windows in Broward County, and what we do about it.
- Corner seal failure on geometric units. ES Windows geometric shapes like trapezoids and true triangles carry more stress at the mitered corners than rectangular units. In Davie’s wet season, a failing corner seal lets water wick into the frame channel, and the first sign is usually condensation between the panes that comes and goes with the weather. We remove the sash, clean the channel, re-bed the corner with a marine-grade sealant, and reset the unit. If the insulated glass unit itself has failed, we order a replacement IGU built to the same spec and shim the corner true before we seal it.
- Arched window hardware grinding and refusal to lock. ES Windows arched and radius units use a multi-point lock system that depends on the frame staying square. When the top hinge or pivot wears, the lock plates drift out of alignment, and homeowners force the handle, which wears the gear teeth. The repair we do most often in Davie is a hardware rebuild: we replace the worn hinge or pivot, realign the lock plates, and lubricate with a dry silicone, not grease. Grease holds grit, and grit kills a lock mechanism. Forced handles are the number one cause of a full hardware replacement, so we tell customers plainly: if it fights you, stop forcing it and call us.
- Radius window glass stress fractures from Davie heat cycling. ES Windows radius and oval units with large glass areas expand and contract more in Davie’s summer heat than the spec sheets ever anticipated. We have pulled more than one ES Windows radius unit out of a Davie home where the glass cracked in a clean arc from the edge, and the cause was a frame installed too tight against the rough opening, with no room for the thermal movement. We recut or adjust the opening tolerance, install the replacement with the proper expansion gap, and the window stops breaking. This is one of those details you will not find on the manufacturer’s site.
- Fogged insulated glass on larger ES Windows fixed units. ES Windows fixed custom shapes, especially big half-rounds and oversized rectangles, rely on desiccant in the spacer to keep the airspace dry. Once the desiccant saturates, the IGU fogs. ES Windows owners in Davie often assume the whole window needs replacing. It does not. We measure, order a matching IGU with the correct spacer thickness and glass package, and reglaze the existing frame. The frame is usually fine; the seal package failed. Replacing only the IGU is typically a third to half the cost of a new window, and the original frame stays in the wall, which means no stucco or trim work.
- Improperly shimmed oversized openings causing binding. ES Windows makes large custom units for oversized openings, and when the original installer did not shim the frame evenly, the window operates fine for a few years and then starts to bind. We see this in Davie homes built in the early 2000s, where contractors rushed large openings. We reset the frame, shim it true at every anchor point, re-level the sill, and re-seal the perimeter. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is not a slogan; it is how we check our own work.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
The call. You call (863) 208-5172 and a live person answers, 24/7. We ask which ES Windows product you have, what the window is doing, and whether you can see a label or stamp on the frame. That label tells us the series, the glass package, and sometimes the manufacturing date.
- 2
The on-site assessment. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your Davie home and measures every opening twice. On a custom or geometric window, we check for square, for plumb, for level, and for the expansion tolerance the original installer should have left. We also check the frame for water damage, which is the silent killer in South Florida installs.
- 3
The parts decision, on paper. We quote OEM ES Windows parts when they are available and the right call, and we quote quality aftermarket parts when they are a better value. We put both options side by side on paper, with prices, so you see exactly what you are buying. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right in the wall.
- 4
The repair or replacement. The technician completes the work the same day if the parts are in the truck or close by. For a custom IGU order, we schedule the return visit before we leave, and we are there when we say.
- 5
The test. We operate the window through its full travel, check the lock, check the weep system if the unit has one, and verify the seal. Then we walk you through it.
- 6
The guarantee, in writing. Every ES Windows job is covered by our Done Right Promise, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights, no fine print.
What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Davie
Here are the ranges we quote most often for ES Windows custom and geometric work in Davie. These are real numbers based on jobs we have completed in Broward County, not national averages.
- Hardware rebuild on an ES Windows arched or radius window: $180 to $420, depending on the parts and whether the lock body needs replacing.
- Corner seal repair on a geometric unit: $220 to $380, including removing the sash, cleaning, re-bedding, and re-setting.
- Custom IGU replacement for a fogged fixed unit: $340 to $850, depending on size, shape, glass package, and whether it is a tempered or laminated spec.
- Full frame reset on an oversized ES Windows opening: $600 to $1,400, depending on access, anchor work, and perimeter sealing.
What moves the price: size of the unit, whether the shape is a stock template or a true custom cut, glass package, and how much of the existing frame is worth saving. We give you a written, line-item quote before work starts, and the price does not change unless you change the scope. Call (863) 208-5172 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs
Most of the time, we can repair it. The frame on an ES Windows custom or geometric unit is usually in good shape; what fails is the seal, the hardware, or the original installation. We rebuild, reglaze, and reset before we ever recommend full replacement, and we will show you the numbers for both options on paper so you can decide with your eyes open. Call (863) 208-5172 to have us assess your window. The assessment is free.
No. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we perform repairs that preserve the manufacturer warranty where it is still in effect, and we register both warranty layers in writing on every job. We use OEM parts when the warranty depends on it and we tell you before we touch anything whether a particular repair could affect your coverage. Our Done Right Promise applies to our workmanship regardless of the manufacturer’s status.
Hardware and seal repairs are typically completed in a single visit because we stock the common ES Windows hardware and sealants. A custom insulated glass unit can take a week or two to fabricate because the glass is cut to your exact measurements, and we schedule your return visit before we leave the first day. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will tell you the realistic timeline for your specific window, not a guess.
Yes. Arched, radius, half-round, oval, triangle, trapezoid, and true custom cuts are a significant part of our ES Windows work in Davie. Geometric units fail differently than rectangular ones, and we have the experience to diagnose the corner stress, the hardware drift, or the expansion issues that a standard window shop will miss. If you have an unusual shape, call (863) 208-5172 and describe it; chances are we have fixed one like it this month.
Replacing just the insulated glass unit in an ES Windows custom or geometric window in Davie generally runs $340 to $850 depending on size, shape, and glass package. That is typically a third to half of a full replacement, and the work is done in one visit once the IGU arrives from fabrication. Call (863) 208-5172 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the price is in writing before we start.
