AfterES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We repair, service, and replace ES Windows across Sunrise, from the original aluminum frames in 1970s CBS homes to current impact-rated models in Sunrise Lakes condos. The difference in our ES Windows work here comes down to one hard fact: every permitted repair in Sunrise can trigger a whole-opening HVHZ upgrade, because the entire city sits inside Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and the original housing stock predates impact codes by decades. If your ES unit is leaking, fogged, seized, or failed inspection, call (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer on what Sunrise code actually requires before you spend a dollar.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 out of a simple frustration: too many South Florida window jobs were set out of true, with warranties voided by sloppy paperwork and no one answering the phone when a seal failed. We’ve been fixing that ever since, one measured opening at a time.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We know ES Windows the way a mechanic knows a specific engine line. The ES-7000 casement, the ES-9000 sliding glass door, the ES-6000 awning, the ES-5000 fixed picture window: each has its own track geometry, its own hinge load ratings, its own corrosion points in a climate like Sunrise’s. When a 1982 ES sliding door in a Sunrise condo seizes up, we don’t guess at the roller spec. We pull the door, mic the track, and order the right part the first time.
Dale grew up watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail, then trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program where he learned to read a rough opening slowly and without guessing. That’s the standard we bring to every ES Windows job in Sunrise. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a call center. Us.
We’re an independent ES Windows service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, and we don’t pretend to be. That independence means we recommend what’s right for your Sunrise home, not what a factory rep needs sold this quarter. For an honest look at your ES windows or doors, see our ES Windows sales & service page or call the shop directly.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Aluminum corrosion at frame corners and weep-hole clogging. Sunrise humidity is relentless, and it’s worse in the western part of the city closer to the Everglades flats. Original 1980s ES frames in condo towers develop white chalky corrosion at the corners, and the weep holes that should drain rainwater clog with mineral deposits and dust. Water backs up, stains the drywall, and accelerates rot. We clean, treat, and when the extrusion is too far gone, we tell you straight that replacement is the only honest fix.
- Warped or seized sliding glass door rollers. ES-9000 doors in Sunrise take open-fetch wind exposure that coastal cities break up with denser building mass. Decades of that wind load warp the aluminum tracks and seize the original rollers. Homeowners yank harder, the track bends, and suddenly the door won’t close at all. We replace rollers with OEM-spec stainless steel units and re-true the track to factory alignment.
- Failed weatherstripping and fogged insulated glass units. Sunrise’s heat and humidity destroy the rubber weatherstripping on older ES casements and sliders faster than owners expect. Once air and moisture get past the seal, the insulated glass unit fogs and the window loses whatever energy performance it had. Where the sash is structurally sound, we replace the weatherstripping and the IGU. Where the frame is compromised, we talk replacement honestly.
- Stress cracks in ES picture windows from settled CBS walls. Sunrise was built out fast in the 1970s and 1980s, mostly on concrete-block-and-stucco construction over fill that has settled over 40 to 50 years. When a CBS wall settles and racks an opening, the fixed ES-5000 picture window takes that stress at the corners. We see hairline cracks that grow into full splits under HVHZ wind loads. Those windows need replacement, not caulk.
- Missing or illegible NOA stickers. This one costs Sunrise homeowners real money. A missing Miami-Dade NOA sticker on an ES window or door fails an insurance wind mitigation inspection every time. We document the existing product approval, and where the unit can’t be verified, we quote the compliant replacement so your mitigation paperwork holds up.
ES Windows Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the thing most window companies won’t tell you about Sunrise: the entire municipal boundary lies inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the original housing stock was built before impact codes existed. That combination means any ES Windows repair that requires a permit automatically triggers a whole-opening upgrade to a current Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval. You cannot replace a pane of glass and call it done. You cannot repair a rotted frame corner and leave the old non-impact assembly in place. The inspector will flag it, the association will flag it, and the insurance company will absolutely flag it. Cities just north, like Tamarac, don’t face this trigger because parts of their boundaries fall outside the HVHZ. In Sunrise, there is no carve-out. Every permitted opening is held to the stricter standard, full stop.
That’s not a problem we work around. It’s a requirement we build into every estimate from the start, so you know exactly what compliance costs before we touch the first screw.

ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
Our Sunrise crews work on the full ES Windows line: ES-7000 Casement, ES-6000 Awning, ES-9000 Sliding Glass Door, and ES-5000 Fixed & Picture Window. We service the 40-year-old original aluminum frames from the 1970s and 1980s, and we install current impact-rated versions of the same models. Parts philosophy is simple: we prefer OEM ES Windows parts for structural components like hinges, rollers, and locking mechanisms because that preserves the original NOA-rated assembly. For non-structural hardware and weatherstripping, where the original part is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that meet the same performance spec. We keep the specialized shims, tracks, and weatherstripping needed for HVHZ compliance stocked locally so Sunrise turnaround stays short.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Sunrise
Here’s what we can tell you on paper, without seeing the opening. Typical single-window repairs on ES units in Sunrise run from about $180 for a roller or track service up to $500 and beyond for a full IGU replacement in a casement. Sliding glass door roller replacements on ES-9000 units, the kind all through Sunrise Lakes, commonly fall between $250 and $500 when the track can be salvaged. Full ES window replacement in Sunrise, including HVHZ-compliant product and permit work, starts in the $900-to-$1,600-per-opening range, and full ES-9000 impact sliding door replacements start at roughly $2,500, depending on size, engineering, and the current NOA documentation.
Your free estimate gives you the exact number. We measure the opening, check the existing product approval, verify what code demands, and put it on paper. Call (754) 238-2201 to set that up. No surprise line items. No change orders. A square deal, in writing.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Because Sunrise lies entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which specifically requires Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval on window and door openings. A general Florida product approval does not satisfy local code here. The cheaper option isn’t cheaper if it fails inspection and you pay to do the job twice. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you which approvals your specific ES model carries before you spend anything.
If the frames are structurally sound, yes, we can replace the weatherstripping and address the sealing surfaces in place. But if the aluminum is corroded at the corners or the glazing has failed, repair won’t restore HVHZ compliance on a 40-year-old extrusion. In that case we recommend replacement, and we’ll show you the corrosion so you can see it yourself before you decide. Call (754) 238-2201 for an honest assessment of your specific windows.
Yes. Sunrise Lakes buildings pull a single building-wide permit for window and door replacements, which means the association board has to sign off before work begins. Our crew handles that step. We replaced a corroded ES-9000 sliding glass door in a Sunrise Lakes Phase 3 condo where the original 1979 aluminum track had seized rollers and the NOA sticker was missing. We pulled the building-wide permit through the association, documented the structural mullion pressures with an engineering letter, and installed a current ES-9000 impact-rated assembly before the inspector reviewed it. We handle the paperwork so you don’t have to chase board members.
Your insurance wind mitigation inspection looks for the product approval documentation, the NOA number, and proof that the installation matches the approved assembly. We provide a written record of the manufacturer warranty registration, the product approval documentation, and a description of the installation that matches the NOA drawings. If the inspector has questions, we answer them directly. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll explain exactly what paperwork you’ll receive for your specific windows.
Western Sunrise sits closer to the Everglades flatlands, with open-fetch exposure and a steady diet of wind-driven sand and organic matter that coastal buildings break up before it ever reaches the glass. That constant micro-abrasion pits the exterior glass surface faster than the same ES model would pit in, say, Pompano. It’s not a defect in the glass. It’s the location. We flag it during estimates so owners understand what their windows are up against. Call (754) 238-2201 for a specific assessment of your glass.
