AfterES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service, repair, and replace ES Windows windows and doors across Sunrise, FL. The thing that separates our ES Windows work here from anywhere else is simple: we know what 40 to 60 years of Sunrise sun, storm-driven rain, and building movement does to the aluminum profiles on these units, and we fix them to hold up under the next storm, not just the next season. TruePane is an independent ES Windows service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the honest call. Call us at (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on ES Windows service anywhere in Sunrise.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Our technicians have torn down and rebuilt ES Windows frames from the 1960s through 1980s, the era that dominates Sunrise‘s concrete block and stucco housing stock. We know which original profiles have zero HVHZ certifications left and which modern ES impact lines match sightlines on older homes without making the house look like a patchwork. Dale Kessler grew up in the Sailboat Bend neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale and learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie before spending the better part of two decades working glass and framing in South Florida’s coastal corridor. His rule sets the tone for every Sunrise job: if it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall. We stock OEM ES Windows hardware and new-old-stock locks, operators, and frame clips for the legacy profiles we see in Sunrise, so we are not waiting on a distributor while a window binds in the summer heat. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and measures every opening twice before a crew ever touches a truck.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Corner joint and sill pitting on aluminum frames. On ES units older than 20 years, afternoon convective storms in inland western Broward drive rain directly into aging frame seals. The result is white, chalky oxidation concentrated at the bottom rails, and eventually the corner joints lose structural integrity. We see this most on original installations in Sunrise’s 1970s-era communities.
- IGU seal delamination on ES Thermal units. The double-pane glass in ES Classic Thermal Double-Hung units fails first at the bottom corners after persistent wet-season humidity works its way past the perimeter seal. Once fogging appears, the insulating gas is gone and the window is no longer doing its thermal job. Replacing the IGU is straightforward; ignoring it usually costs more later.
- Stripped or corroded operator hardware on casement and awning units. The gearboxes on original ES casements and awnings sit exposed to the same wind-driven rain that pits the frames. Once water penetrates the operator, sashes seize either open or shut. A sash locked open during a hurricane is not a repair you postpone.
- Frame-to-block anchor failures on early installs. Many early ES installs in Sunrise were never through-bolted to the concrete block, just screwed into the stucco face or set with weak anchors. During high-wind events the entire frame moves, causing binding at the sashes and the door. We re-anchor these properly to CBS block, which is a permanent fix, not a patch.
- Non-impact sliders and jalousies with no wind rating. Sunrise is entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and a significant share of its HOA communities still run original jalousie windows and non-impact sliding glass doors that carry essentially zero wind resistance. Those do not get repaired. They get replaced with Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact units.
ES Windows Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sunrise is one of the only cities in Broward where whole-house jalousie-to-impact conversions are routine enough that our crews schedule them back to back. The city developed fast from 1961 through the 1980s, and a large number of those original HOA communities never upgraded from the aluminum jalousie windows they were built with. The Florida Building Code prohibits new jalousie installation, and for good reason: louvered glass carries nearly zero wind resistance in a building envelope that is now required to meet HVHZ standards. That means a conversion job in Sunrise is rarely as simple as swapping glass. The opening has to be re-framed, the new buck through-bolted into the existing concrete block, and the whole assembly inspected against a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. If the anchors are not robust, the best window in the world is still just riding on stucco. This is a question that never comes up for ES Windows owners in Weston or Coral Springs, where post-1990 construction already assumed impact-rated openings from the beginning. In Sunrise, it is the baseline.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
We service the full range of ES Windows residential product lines, with the most common being the ES ModernImpact Casement & Awning Series, the ES Classic Thermal Double-Hung Series, and the ES PrecisionGlide Sliding Glass Door Series. For hardware, we source OEM ES Windows parts and keep new-old-stock locks, operators, and frame clips for legacy profiles found throughout Sunrise. When seals and glass need replacement, we use only current Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact assemblies or a tested aftermarket match when the OEM is discontinued. We do not patch frames that cannot be re-anchored to CBS block reliably. If the frame is too far gone, we tell you that honestly and quote the appropriate replacement. Sub-services we emphasize on this page: Hurricane Impact Windows, Hurricane Windows, and Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Sunrise
Here is what ES Windows service in Sunrise typically costs when we quote it. Hardware repair on a casement or awning operator runs from $175 to $400 depending on the model and how much corrosion has set in. IGU replacement on a Thermal double-hung is generally $300 to $650 per sash. A full jalousie-to-impact conversion on a standard opening starts around $1,200 to $1,800 per window once you account for frame tear-out, through-bolting, stucco patch, permit inspection, and the impact unit itself. Whole-house conversions on a typical 1960s Sunrise ranch commonly land between $12,000 and $28,000. The variables are opening count, frame condition, and whether the HOA requires a specific finish. Every free estimate from us is a written, line-item quote with manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including the two warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will get you an exact number, not a ballpark.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Because Sunrise sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement window or door in the HVHZ must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the exact size and configuration being installed. This is not a suggestion; it is a code requirement that triggers a permit and an inspection. The same window sold in, say, Orlando or Tampa does not face the same wind-load standard, so the NOA is not required there. In Sunrise, a missing NOA means the permit will fail and the insurance discount will not be applied. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will verify the NOA on any unit before we quote a replacement.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Jalousie frames are prohibited for new installation under the Florida Building Code and carry nearly zero wind resistance. Putting new glass in a jalousie frame in Sunrise would mean spending money to end up with a window that still violates current code, still risks catastrophic failure in a storm, and still leaves you without the wind mitigation credit on your insurance. The honest repair is a full jalousie-to-impact conversion with a properly anchored frame, permitted and inspected. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free conversion quote.
It depends on the frame condition. The grinding noise usually means the roller assemblies are shot and the track has corroded from years of driven rain getting past the bottom gasket. If the frame is still structurally sound and has not pitted through at the bottom rail, we can replace the rollers, re-lube the track, and get the door moving properly. If the frame is pitted or the anchors were never through-bolted to the block, you are looking at a replacement, and we will show you why on the spot. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will inspect it before you spend anything.
Broward County has some of the highest homeowner insurance rates in the state, and carriers apply documented premium discounts for what they call “opening protection,” meaning all windows and doors are impact-rated and installed to code. A wind mitigation report that shows full opening protection is one of the only things that reliably knocks down your premium. We have had Sunrise customers see reductions of more than $900 a year after a whole-house jalousie-to-impact conversion, because the house finally shows zero vulnerable openings on paper. The exact discount depends on your carrier and your report. We will point you toward the right documentation after the install.
This is one of the most common jams we help Sunrise owners out of. HOAs have authority over appearance, but they cannot override the Florida Building Code, and jalousie frames fail HVHZ requirements outright. Most boards will approve a white or bronze impact frame once they see that the only code-compliant option available in the building’s original look is a white or bronze finish. If the board needs documentation, we provide a written explanation of the HVHZ requirements and the NOA listing for the replacement units, so the request is backed by code language, not just a homeowner’s word. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will help you build the case.
