We are not the manufacturer and we are not an ES Windows authorized dealer. We are an independent service provider who has spent years working on the exact ES Windows systems found in Palm Beach’s housing stock, and we stock or custom-source the parts those units actually need. Our relationship to ES Windows is straightforward: we service their equipment, we source their hardware when it is available, and we tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when it does not. Dale Kessler, our owner, has been working glass and framing in South Florida’s coastal corridor for the better part of two decades, and the rule he keeps on the whiteboard is the one every ES Windows job here gets measured against: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For full context on what we do with this brand, see our ES Windows sales & service page.

Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service

Palm Beach is not a generic Florida market. The homes here carry ES Windows from at least three distinct eras: original steel casement lines from the 1950s through 1980s, aluminum casement and awning units retrofitted in the 1980s and 1990s, and impact-rated series built after the 2001 Florida Building Code update. Each era fails differently, and each era demands a different repair philosophy. We know which ES operators seize, which seals delaminate, and which anchors corrode because we have worked on all of them from South Ocean Boulevard to the lake side of the island.

Dale grew up in Sailboat Bend in Fort Lauderdale, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows and cursing the humidity. He learned the trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie, then spent nearly twenty years working glass and framing in South Florida’s coastal corridor. That background matters when you are standing in a 1920s Mizner estate off El Bravo Way trying to figure out whether an ES steel casement can be saved or must be replicated. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in Palm Beach in thirty years, because we do. As a local company rooted in the area, our Palm Beach service area coverage runs deep.

Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach

• Salt-air pitting on aluminum frames and hardware. Homes on South Ocean Boulevard and El Bravo Way get wind-driven salt from the Atlantic on the east elevation and brackish air from the Intracoastal on the west. ES aluminum frames pitting on both street and courtyard sides simultaneously is a pattern we see constantly here, and it is almost never a manufacturing defect. It is the island doing what the island does.
• Frozen or seized steel casement operators on original ES units. Mizner-era steel windows were built beautifully and maintained terribly. Decades of paint buildup plus salt-laden air will freeze an operator solid. The good news is the frame is often fine. We machine marine-grade stainless replacements that fit the original spline, so you do not lose the window’s character or trigger an ARCOM issue.
• Failed double-pane seals on southern and eastern exposures. Constant onshore humidity plus direct sun accelerates seal failure on mid-century ES windows with exposed southern or eastern orientation. The tell is condensation between the panes that will not wipe away. Sometimes the sash is worth reglazing, sometimes the unit has reached the end of its service life. We will tell you which.
• Corroded anchors and rusted steel inside stucco openings. This one passes a visual check every time and fails when a wind-mitigation inspector asks to verify anchor spacing. The frame looks fine, but the anchors inside the stucco have been rusting quietly for decades. On an oceanfront Palm Beach home, that becomes a structural issue, not a cosmetic one. We remove, code-fit, and install impact-rated ES-compatible replacements that the Town will approve.
• ARCOM-related repair complications. A simple operator swap is usually a repair, not a modification. But if the repair changes the exterior appearance, you may need approval. We help homeowners understand which side of that line a given job falls on before any work begins.

ES Windows Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here is the thing that makes ES Windows work in Palm Beach unique, and it is not true in our West Palm Beach Es Windows service area or in Lake Worth. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Commission, or ARCOM, requires design approval for any exterior window or door modification on the island. That means you cannot simply pull a corroded ES steel casement and drop in a standard Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact window, even though the impact window satisfies every hurricane code on the books. The replacement unit’s frame profile, muntin width, and finish must match the original Mizner-era aesthetic, or ARCOM will reject it. So every ES Windows job on this island sits at the intersection of two regulatory standards that do not normally overlap: Florida’s mandatory impact glazing code and the Town’s historic preservation standards. The island’s concentration of 1920s through 1950s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival estates with original steel casement windows makes this the defining challenge of every major ES Windows project here. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.

ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach

We service the full span of ES Windows product lines found in Palm Beach homes. That includes original ES steel casement lines from the 1950s through 1980s, the ES aluminum casement and awning units that were commonly retrofitted through the 1980s and 1990s, and the impact-rated ES series built after the 2001 Florida Building Code update. For parts, we source original ES Windows hardware and operators whenever they are available. But we are honest about the limits of OEM parts on salt-prone elevations. Some OEM components corrode too quickly on oceanfront property, and in those cases we pair custom-machined stainless steel or marine-grade aftermarket parts with the original ES frame and hardware where compatibility allows. The goal is a repair that outlasts the next hurricane season, not one that fails the following spring.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Palm Beach

Can I replace my original ES Windows steel casements with standard impact windows on a Palm Beach historic estate?

No, not without ARCOM approval, and standard extruded aluminum impact windows will almost certainly be rejected because the frame profile and muntin width will not match the original Mizner-era aesthetic. You need impact-rated steel casements or historically sympathetic replacements that preserve the original sightlines. We help Palm Beach homeowners navigate that process from the first measurement through final inspection. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your specific property, and estimates are free.

Do I need an ARCOM review just to repair the operator on my ES casement window?

In most cases, no. Replacing an operator, machining a new spline-fit handle, or reglazing a sash is a repair that does not alter the exterior appearance, so ARCOM review typically does not apply. If the repair changes the window’s visible profile or finish, that is a different conversation, and we will flag it before we touch the window. When in doubt, call (954) 280-4413 and we will give you a straight answer.

My ES Windows aluminum frames are pitting on both the street and courtyard sides. Is that normal for Palm Beach?

Yes, and it is unique to barrier-island exposure. Palm Beach sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, so structures receive salt-air corrosion pressure from both directions simultaneously. Aluminum frames and hardware degrade measurably faster here than they would even a mile inland. We address it by pairing marine-grade stainless or other corrosion-resistant components where OEM aluminum parts would fail again too quickly. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and estimates are free.

Which specific models of ES Windows fail most often in Palm Beach’s salt air?

The mid-century ES aluminum casement and awning lines retrofitted in the 1980s and 1990s show the most frame pitting and seal delamination, because the original aluminum alloys were not designed for decades of dual-side salt exposure. Original ES steel casements from the 1950s through 1980s fail differently, usually at the operators and anchors rather than the frame itself. The post-2001 impact-rated ES series holds up best, but hardware corrosion still shows up on oceanfront elevations. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and estimates are free.

Can I use a standard Florida Statewide Product Approval window on a Palm Beach oceanfront home?

Technically yes for wind code, but no for ARCOM if the home is on the island and the window is exterior-visible. Palm Beach requires both Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact performance and design approval that preserves the original architectural character. A generic statewide-approved window will fail the ARCOM review on most estates here. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on a compliant replacement, and estimates are free.
