ES Windows Windows & Doors in Longwood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent ES Windows service provider working across Longwood, and the short answer is this: we service, repair, and replace ES Windows aluminum and impact lines throughout the city, including the historic district where most outside window companies trip over the Certificate of Appropriateness requirement. If you need ES Windows work done in Longwood, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and exactly what the historic board will and won’t allow. We know the ES-7000 casement, the ES-700 single-hung, the ES-500 slider, and the ES-900 picture window the way a mechanic knows a particular engine. Longwood is our backyard, from Sanlando Springs to the Historic Village, and ES Windows is one of the lines we work on most.
Why Longwood Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Most window companies in Seminole County sell what they’re told to sell. We work on what’s actually in your house. ES Windows are Miami-built aluminum and impact units, and they behave differently in Longwood than they do on the coast. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up around glazing work in South Florida and has been setting windows and doors for going on three decades. He taught our crews that an ES-7000 casement on a 1978 Sanlando Springs ranch needs different attention than the same unit on a beachfront condo.
We’re not manufacturer-affiliated. That matters because we can give you an honest repair-vs-replace answer without a sales quota behind it. If the frame is square and the glass is sound, we repair it. If a Certificate of Appropriateness or a wind-mitigation inspection exposes a non-compliant original unit, we’ll price the replacement and explain why it’s the cheaper long-term path. We register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and we stand behind the work for 90 days with no argument. For ES Windows service in Longwood, you want a company that actually understands the equipment and the street it sits on. Our full ES Windows sales & service page has more on how we handle the line.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Longwood
These are the failure modes we see most often on ES Windows units in Longwood, and they’re usually tied directly to our climate and housing stock:
- Sagging ES-7000 casement sashes. The crank hardware was never serviced on many original installs, and Longwood’s afternoon thunderstorm humidity cycling makes it worse. The sash drops, the crank binds, and eventually the gears strip. We re-square the sash, replace the crank mechanism, and install new weatherseal.
- Seal failure and interior fogging on ES-900 picture windows. West-facing units in 1970s Sanlando Springs ranches sit in direct Central Florida UV for hours every afternoon. The insulated glass seal breaks down, and you get that permanent haze between the panes. We replace the glass unit with matching lite patterns where required.
- ES-500 sliding door tracks packed with sandy grit. Longwood’s CBS homes are surrounded by landscaping, and fine grit works its way into the track. The rollers skip, the track wears, and the door feels like it’s off the rail. We clean, replace rollers, and re-align the door so it glides.
- Failed or missing sash locks on ES-700 single-hungs. In 1980s tract homes, original hollow-core sliders adjacent to the ES unit create cross-draft pressure that pops secondary locks. We replace the lock hardware with components that hold under that pressure.
- Deteriorated weatherstripping and flashing gaps. Longwood’s humidity promotes mold growth in any gap around improperly flashed frames. We see this constantly on original 1970s installations. We remove the old seal, address the flashing, and install new weatherstripping that handles our humidity.
ES Windows Service in Longwood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that catches Longwood homeowners off guard, and it’s the reason we document the existing sash before ordering anything for the Historic Village streets. The city’s Historic Preservation Board requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before any window or door replacement can even reach the permitting desk. That’s a step Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary, and Casselberry don’t impose. The Board will reject any ES unit whose lite pattern or profile doesn’t match the original. So that standard off-the-shelf double-hung you saw at the supply house? It’s likely non-approvable in the Longwood Historic Village. We take photos, measure the lite divisions, and document the frame profile before we order a single unit. It saves you money and keeps the permit from getting challenged. Meanwhile, most of Longwood is 1970s and 1980s concrete-block ranch, and those homes have original single-pane aluminum sliders that don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load minimums. ES Windows impact units are a logical retrofit there, and we handle those installs without the historic overlay complicating the paperwork.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Longwood
We work on the full ES Windows residential line: the ES-7000 Series impact casement, the ES-700 Series single-hung, the ES-500 Series impact sliding glass door, and the ES-900 Series fixed and picture window. On impact-rated units, we use genuine ES Windows hardware where it matters for structural integrity. For non-rated wear parts like rollers, weatherstripping, and balance tubes, we install high-grade aftermarket equivalents that often outlast the originals in Longwood’s heat and humidity. Our tech pulled an original ES-7000 casement on a Ranch Road home in Sanlando Springs last month; the sash had sagged 3/8 inch, the crank gears were stripped, and the perimeter weatherstripping had crumbled from years of Longwood humidity. We replaced the crank hardware, installed new silicone bulb weatherseal, and re-squared the sash within the frame. No full replacement needed, and the homeowner passed a wind-mitigation re-inspection two weeks later. That’s the standard we work to.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Longwood
No. The Certificate of Appropriateness applies only to properties within the Longwood Historic Village overlay. If your home is in Sanlando Springs, the Wekiva-area tracts, or any other part of Longwood outside that district, you follow standard Seminole County building permits. If you’re in the Historic Village, the Board must sign off before the permit is issued, and your ES unit must match the original lite pattern and profile. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll check your address against the overlay before you spend anything.
Yes, and that’s often the path we recommend. The Board cares about the visible profile and lite pattern, not the glass itself. If your ES frame is square and sound, we replace the insulated glass unit with a matching pattern and keep the original frame in place. That preserves the historic character and usually costs far less than full replacement. We’ll document everything in writing for your Board submittal.
Thermal expansion. Longwood’s afternoon heat expands the aluminum frame and track, and a door that slides fine in the morning can bind by 3 p.m. Add fine sandy grit from your landscaping into the track and the binding gets worse. We clean the track, replace worn rollers, and check the frame alignment so the door doesn’t bind at peak heat. For an exact diagnosis, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll come take a look.
A repair does not trigger replacement. You can service the sashes, replace locks, and install new weatherstripping without any code upgrade requirement. Replacement becomes mandatory only when the existing unit fails a wind-mitigation inspection for insurance purposes, or when the work involves removing the entire frame. We tell you before we start whether your repair stays in grandfather territory. Estimates are free, so call (754) 238-2201 if you’re unsure which side of the line your window falls on.
The Board reviews finish and color as part of the approval. White aluminum frames that don’t match the original wood or bronze-tone profiles common in the Historic Village often get rejected, even if the lite pattern is correct. We photograph the existing finish before ordering and can match ES units to the Board’s requirements. That documentation goes into your submittal package so the approval moves the first time. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll review your property against the district’s current standards.
