This page is for homeowners in Wellington who own ES Windows and have noticed leaks, drafts, fogged glass, or a roof unit that will not close square. You’re not looking for a sales pitch. You want to know what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether the company on the other end of the phone actually knows the product. We do. Dale Kessler has been setting and sealing windows in Palm Beach County for going on three decades, and the ES Windows roof line has a set of failure patterns we see often enough to describe them in our sleep.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

ES Windows makes a solid product. But in Wellington, where afternoon thunderstorms roll in off the Everglades and the humidity sits above eighty percent for half the year, certain failures show up more often than the manufacturer’s brochure admits. Here is what we see on roof units specifically:

• Weep channel clogging on the ES6500 series. The roof-mounted units in this line drain through narrow weep slots that Wellington’s oak pollen and wind-blown sand can plug within two or three wet seasons. Water backs up inside the frame, runs down the interior wall, and the homeowner assumes the roof flashing leaked. Our fix involves removing the sash, clearing the channels, and re-sloping the interior drain pan so water moves out instead of pooling. If the frame itself has corroded at the corners, we show you the corrosion before you spend a dollar on a patch.
• Operator gear stripping on ES7000 crank-out roof windows. The gear mechanism on this series is metal-on-metal and holds up well in dry climates. In Wellington, condensation inside the sash accelerates oxidation on the gear teeth, and eventually the crank spins without moving the sash. We replace the operator assembly with OEM or a hardened aftermarket gear set that outlasts the original in high-humidity environments. Either way, we quote both options on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
• Seal failure between glass and frame on the ES8000 aluminum thermal-break line. This is the fogged-glass failure every Wellington homeowner over sixty has seen at least once. On roof units, the problem is worse because the unit sits flat or near-flat, so direct sun and standing heat accelerate seal degradation. When we replace these, we set the new IGU (insulated glass unit) with a secondary perimeter seal and verify the thermal break is intact. A roof unit that fogs again two years later is usually not a glass problem; it is a frame alignment problem the original install left behind.
• Frame racking on larger ES Windows roof spans. Wellington homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s frequently used the ES5000 series on sunrooms and Florida rooms with spans over six feet. After twenty-plus years of thermal cycling, the aluminum frame deflects enough that the sash binds at one corner and will not seat against the weatherstripping. We re-square the opening, shim correctly per manufacturer tolerance, and replace the weatherstripping with EPDM-rated material that holds its compression in Wellington’s heat.
• Improper flashing from the original installation. This is not an ES Windows defect; it is an installer defect. We have opened up more than a few Wellington roof units to find step flashing cut short, missing kick-out flashing at the upper corners, or no ice-and-water shield at all. The window gets blamed, but the real cause is right there under the shingles. When we reinstall a roof unit, we pull back the existing roofing, inspect the rough opening, and re-flash the entire perimeter before the new unit goes in. Then we re-roof the transition so water sheds past the frame instead of into it.

Our ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Process

Every ES Windows job follows the same sequence, whether it is a single roof unit or a full bank of them. No shortcuts, no surprises:

1. 1
   Call and walkthrough. You call (561) 349-4826. A live person answers, 24/7, and schedules a time that works for you. We do not put you into a voicemail tree.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures the opening twice, inspects the existing flashing and frame condition, and identifies the failure mode before any recommendation is made. We show you what we found.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote. We put the parts options side by side on paper: OEM ES Windows replacement sash, quality aftermarket glass package, operator assembly, flashing materials, and labor. You see exactly what you are buying and what it costs. Fixed pricing, no change orders.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We set the new unit or sash level and square, re-flash the perimeter if the job requires it, and seal everything to Wellington’s climate demand. For dangerous roof access, we use proper fall protection and never rush the set. A roof unit that is dropped on day one leaks on day thirty.
5. 5
   Testing and documentation. We cycle the unit, check water drainage, verify the sash seats square in the frame, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Durations are stated, not implied.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise. If something is not right within ninety days, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.

What ES Windows Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Wellington

Roof replacement pricing on ES Windows units varies by series, glass package, and how much surrounding framing needs to be corrected. Here are the ranges we quote most often in Wellington:

• Sash replacement (glass and frame section), ES5000 or ES6500 series: $400 to $650 per sash, depending on glass type and whether the original frame can be reused.
• Full roof unit replacement, standard ES7000 size: $550 to $850 installed, including new flashing, sealants, and debris removal from the old unit.
• ES8000 thermal-break roof unit replacement with upgraded glass: $700 to $950 installed, including perimeter re-flashing and frame alignment correction if the opening has moved.
• Operator assembly and gear replacement (crank-out units): $180 to $320, parts and labor.

What moves the price: whether the roof deck or rough opening needs repair before the new unit goes in, whether the unit is on the second story (roof access and fall protection requirements), and whether we are re-flashing or re-shingling the transition area. We do not quote blind. We measure, show you the condition of what is behind the frame, and bring a written line-item quote before anything is signed. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ES Windows Work

We are not the cheapest bid in Wellington, and we do not try to be. What we are is the last call you should need to make on a window or door. Every ES Windows job we take is covered by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a Done Right Promise on the workmanship. If something is not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights.

We also stock and service the surrounding window ecosystem. If you have PGT, CGI, CWS, or ECO Window Systems units elsewhere in the house, the same truck can handle those too. That matters when you are replacing a roof unit on the sunroom and the rest of the house was built with a different brand. One call, one crew, one standard.

Dale Kessler grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park neighborhood, where half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades. That bothered him enough to make it his life’s work. He learned glazing tolerances at Palm Beach State College’s building construction program in Lake Worth, spent nights in the lab and days shadowing every installer who would let him carry a lite of glass, and has been setting and sealing windows and doors in Palm Beach County for three decades. The company he runs still follows one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

We are licensed and insured. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We plan to be in town in thirty years, and we work like it.
