ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Lauderdale Lakes: What to Know First
We install and replace ES Windows custom and geometric shapes in Lauderdale Lakes as an independent ES Windows service provider, with most measured surveys scheduled within 48 hours and installations completed on the date we name. Custom arched, radius, and oversized ES Windows units in this market typically run $1,800 to $4,500 installed, depending on whether the opening requires structural reinforcement or just a precision fit into existing framing. We write the price before any work starts, and that written quote is the final invoice.
This page is for Lauderdale Lakes homeowners who already know they want ES Windows and need shapes that don’t come out of a standard catalog: arched tops for Mediterranean entries, trapezoids for gable-end daylighting, or oversized fixed picture units that exceed stock dimensions. If the measurement isn’t written down, it doesn’t exist. Call (754) 240-8381 to schedule your free measured survey.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

- ES Windows ES-8000 series radius tops with seal creep in the curved jamb. The thermal break in ES-8000 aluminum radius units can shift 2-3 mm over five to seven Lauderdale Lakes summers due to the daily expansion cycle against our 90+ degree heat and afternoon thunderstorms. We see this most in Oriole Gardens and the neighborhoods east of State Road 7 where 1980s stucco homes got retrofits without full frame prep. We remove the unit, reseat the thermal break with manufacturer-specified structural silicone, and reinstall with composite shims that don’t compress like pine.
- ES Windows ES-5000 geometric fixed units with weep channel blockage. The narrow weep slots on custom polygon shapes (pentagons, trapezoids) clog with stucco dust and helicopter seed from the live oaks common in Lauderdale Lakes. Water backs into the track and rots the sill. We flush the channels with low-pressure water, install oversized weep covers that still drain, and document the before condition with photos the homeowner keeps.
- ES Windows oversized custom fixed glass with IG (insulated glass) seal failure. ES Windows builds IG units up to 80×144 inches in their custom line, but the silicone primary seal on units over 60 inches sees accelerated degradation within three miles of the Florida Turnpike corridor due to salt particulate in the air. We source replacement IG from ES Windows or, when lead times stretch past eight weeks, from a Miami-Dade-certified third-party fabricator with matching spacer specs and Low-E coating.
- ES Windows arched casement units with hinge fatigue on the radius side. The continuous hinge on ES Windows’ custom arched casements carries uneven load because the radius stile is shorter than the jamb stile. After four to six years, the top hinge cup loosens in the aluminum frame. We replace with heavy-duty stainless cups and add a secondary friction stay at the quarter-point, which ES Windows’ own hardware kit doesn’t include but which prevents recurrence.
- ES Windows custom geometric mulled assemblies with field-mullion leaks. When ES Windows ships a three-wide custom geometric assembly, the field mullions arrive knocked down for site assembly. Installers who rely on sealant alone, without the backer rod and mechanical clip ES Windows specifies, create a leak path that shows up first in our September storms. We disassemble, inspect the mullion cavity for standing water, reinstall per the ES Windows detail drawing, and flood-test with a calibrated spray rack.
Before
AfterOur ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a senior tech arrives with a laser measure, level, and the ES Windows custom order worksheet. We record every angle, radius, and sightline dimension. You keep a copy before we leave.
- 2
Diagnosis and parts decision. We determine whether the fix requires OEM ES Windows components, quality aftermarket equivalents (we stock Miami-Dade-approved IG from two local fabricators), or structural reframing. We note this on the written scope.
- 3
Written price, fixed. Haven Clause 1: the quote matches the survey document exactly. No line item changes without a change order you sign.
- 4
Installation with verified crew. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, with license numbers visible. They install per ES Windows’ published details, not field improvisation.
- 5
Testing and documentation. We operate every moving part, check drainage with a measured water pour, and photograph the completed work. The photo record uploads to your file by end of day.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The Haven Standard warranty is stamped, not verbal. If the seal creeps again or the hinge loosens, we return and make it right.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Lauderdale Lakes for ES Windows Work
We’ve worked in Lauderdale Lakes long enough to know which ES Windows units were installed during the 2017-2019 retrofit wave and which are now showing the predictable failures: seal creep in radius tops, weep blockage in fixed geometrics, hinge fatigue on arched casements. Sonia Raman grew up in Miami, studied building construction technology at Miami Dade College, and spent the better part of two decades learning how South Florida’s humidity, salt air, and hurricane seasons actually behave against a window seal. That background shows up in how we specify composite shims instead of pine, oversized weep covers instead of stock, and stainless hinge cups instead of the standard kit.
We also carry PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. If an ES Windows custom lead time doesn’t match your project schedule, we can cross-specify by performance tier and price range, not by what we have in stock. The Haven Standard governs every opening, regardless of manufacturer.
FAQs

ES Windows’ product warranty covers manufacturing defects regardless of who installs the unit, provided the installation follows their published details and uses OEM or approved components. Our documentation includes photos of every ES Windows detail we followed, which we provide if a warranty claim arises. For installation-related issues, our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. Call (754) 240-8381 to discuss your specific unit’s warranty status.
Standard custom geometries from ES Windows currently run eight to twelve weeks from approved shop drawing, with oversized units (over 60 inches in either dimension) sometimes extending to fourteen weeks. We maintain relationships with two Miami-Dade-certified local IG fabricators who can produce matching units in four to six weeks when ES Windows’ lead time doesn’t fit the project. We always disclose the source on the written quote.
Repair makes sense when the frame is square, the thermal break is intact, and the failure is isolated to IG seal, hardware, or weep function. Replacement is the better value when the frame has corrosion at the sill, the thermal break has migrated, or the unit was improperly mulled in the field and leaks at multiple points. We diagnose this on the measured survey and write both options when both are viable. Call (754) 240-8381 for an exact assessment.
ES Windows offers eleven standard interior finishes on their custom line, with custom color matching available at additional cost and extended lead time. We bring color chips to the survey and, when necessary, remove a small hardware cover for a factory spectrophotometer match. The match is noted on the order confirmation you sign before fabrication begins.
It doesn’t. Haven Clause 1 states that the measured survey and the written quote are the same document. The only way the price changes is if you request additional scope in writing, which we document on a change order you sign before the extra work proceeds. No surprises means no surprises. Call (754) 240-8381 to schedule your free measured survey.
