AfterES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Lighthouse Point: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows custom and geometric window service in Lighthouse Point, with most measured surveys scheduled within two business days and written quotes delivered before any deposit is taken. Typical custom ES Windows installations run 4-8 weeks from signed scope to final inspection, depending on glass complexity and current manufacturing lead times. We do not quote over the phone; Haven Clause 1 requires a field-measured survey that becomes your written price.
This page is for Lighthouse Point homeowners who already own ES Windows products or are specifying them for a new custom opening - arched transoms, circular accent windows, trapezoid gable units, or oversized geometric combinations. If you need a written price for ES Windows custom work, call (754) 600-8907 to schedule your free measured survey.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ES Windows 8100 Series fixed geometric units: The thermal break in the 8100’s extruded aluminum frame can separate at the miter joints of custom angles, especially on trapezoid and pentagon shapes where stress concentrates. We see this on canal-front homes near Lighthouse Point Marina where salt accelerates galvanic reaction at the break. We remove the sash, re-bond the thermal break with OEM-spec structural adhesive, and replace the glazing tape rather than selling a full frame.
- ES Windows 5500 Series impact-rated custom shapes: The laminated glass interlayer in 5500 Series geometric units can delaminate at the edges of cutouts for arched or circular profiles, creating a fogged perimeter that looks like seal failure but is not. We source the correct laminated lite from ES Windows or, when lead times stretch, match the interlayer spec from an approved aftermarket supplier and document the substitution in your Haven Standard file.
- ES Windows 3000 Series single-hung with custom top sash: The balance shoe track in the 3000 Series jams on non-standard jamb depths, particularly when previous installers shimmed the frame to fit a geometric rough opening without adjusting the balance preload. We measure the actual jamb depth, calculate the correct balance tension for the sash weight, and install a properly specced block-and-tackle or constant-force balance - not a generic replacement that will jam again in eighteen months.
- ES Windows oversized custom combinations: Mullion deflection between large fixed and operating units in custom ES Windows assemblies causes the center seal to compress unevenly, which we diagnose with a feeler gauge at four points, not a visual guess. We shim the mullion to within 1/16-inch of plumb or specify a reinforced mullion kit from ES Windows if the span exceeds their published limit for the series.
- ES Windows coastal hardware corrosion: The standard 316 stainless hinge and lock hardware on ES Windows geometric units is adequate for inland Broward County but insufficient for the salt spray load at Lighthouse Point properties within 1,000 feet of the Intracoastal Waterway. We upgrade to 2205 duplex stainless or silicon bronze hardware on replacement jobs and note the specification on your written scope so the next owner knows what is in the wall.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure, level, and the ES Windows current product catalog. We record rough opening dimensions, structural load path, and exposure class. You keep the measured survey; it becomes the basis for your written quote.
- 2
Diagnosis and parts decision. We identify the ES Windows series, manufacturing date range, and whether the failure is frame, glass, hardware, or installation. OEM parts are our first choice; when ES Windows lead times exceed your tolerance, we present an aftermarket equivalent with matching performance data and your approval in writing.
- 3
Written scope and price. Haven Clause 1: the quote matches the survey exactly. No allowances, no “plus materials” clauses, no change orders for conditions we should have seen. You sign once.
- 4
Installation by verified crew. Haven Clause 3: background-checked, uniformed technicians with license numbers provided before arrival. For ES Windows impact-rated custom units, we verify the installation meets Florida Product Approval and the specific ES Windows installation manual for that series.
- 5
Testing and documentation. We operate every moving sash, check seal compression with a smoke pencil on fixed units, and photograph the completed installation from inside and out. Your photo record and 365-Day Done Right Promise document are delivered before we leave.
- 6
Cleanup and final walkthrough. We remove all debris, verify the opening operates as specified, and leave the written warranty and maintenance instructions on site.

Why Lighthouse Point Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Lighthouse Point for ES Windows Work
We are independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise or manufacturer affiliate. Since 2012, we have installed and serviced more than 18,000 openings, and we carry eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - so we specify what your opening requires, not what is in stock.
Our ES Windows work is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, written into every scope, not offered as a courtesy. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. If ES Windows lead times do not match your schedule, we can cross-reference your performance requirements against CWS or ECO Window Systems custom lines and show you the comparison in writing.
Measure twice, write it down, then we talk price.
FAQs
No, provided the work is performed to ES Windows installation specifications and uses OEM or equivalent parts. We document every specification and part source in your Haven Standard file so warranty claims remain valid. Call (754) 600-8907 if you need a review of your existing ES Windows warranty terms.
Current ES Windows lead times for custom shapes run 6-10 weeks from approved shop drawings, with complex mullioned combinations at the longer end. We do not quote manufacturing timelines we cannot verify; your written scope includes the lead time we confirmed with ES Windows that week. Call (754) 600-8907 for current availability.
We repair when the frame is structurally sound and the glass or hardware failure is addressable without compromising the impact rating. Full replacement is recommended when the thermal break is degraded across the frame, the laminated glass has field-delaminated beyond the edge zone, or the custom shape no longer meets current Florida Building Code. We tell you which category applies after the measured survey, not before. Call (754) 600-8907 to schedule your free evaluation.
We stock common ES Windows hardware and seal kits for the 3000, 5500, and 8100 Series, but custom geometric glass lites and extrusions are always ordered to measured spec. Same-day repair is possible for hardware, balance, and seal failures on standard shapes; custom glass replacement requires manufacturing lead time. Call (754) 600-8907 to describe your failure and we will tell you what we can do today versus what requires ordering.
No. Haven Clause 1 and Haven Clause 5 are explicit: the written price before work starts is the final price. The only exception is if you change the scope in writing after signing. We have not issued a change order for concealed conditions in eight years because our measured survey is thorough enough to catch what other installers miss. Call (754) 600-8907 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
