ES Windows Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent ES Windows service across Fort Lauderdale, from aluminum sash rebuilds on 1960s canal cottages to impact-rated window replacements in beachside condos. What makes our ES Windows work different here is that we plan every repair or replacement around two things most out-of-town outfits ignore: salt air and FEMA floodplain rules. That means we match the old frame size when possible, use OEM ES parts when lead times allow, and tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement is the smarter spend. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
ES Windows has been a fixture in South Florida construction for decades, and our carpenters and glazing crews have rebuilt sash, frames, and sills in ES Windows aluminum and wood units across dozens of Fort Lauderdale remodels without ever being beholden to a manufacturer rep or dealer parts account. We’re an independent ES Windows service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, and that independence means we recommend what’s right for your house, not what moves inventory. Trevor Nash, owner of Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades running crews across South Florida, including full gut-renovations near Las Olas Boulevard and modest bathroom updates for longtime Fort Lauderdale homeowners. Trevor is known for showing up on day one with a written scope and a realistic number, not a low-ball figure that climbs once the walls are open. For all things ES Windows sales & service, we apply the same standard: written price first, written guarantee always.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
- Salt air pitting and white corrosion blooms on anodized aluminum frames. Within 1,500 feet of the Intracoastal, ES E-3000 sashes routinely develop pitting along the bottom rail and weep holes from airborne salt. We clean, treat, and re-seal these frames, replacing only what’s structurally compromised.
- Roller assemblies on sliding ES doors binding or snapping. Sand and shell grit lodge in the bottom track, especially on Las Olas Boulevard and beachside condos. We pull the panel, clear the track, replace OEM rollers, and adjust the strike so the door glides without grinding.
- Cloudy or failed insulated glass units in ES impact windows. North-facing elevations get hit hardest here, where pressure cycling and humidity differentials stress the sealant until moisture fogs the glass. We replace the IGU and re-bed the sash without swapping the whole frame.
- Wet rot in ES Wood Clad sills and jambs. Screen tracks hold standing water after afternoon thunderstorms, and that water migrates into Dade County pine framing in older eastern Fort Lauderdale homes. We cut out the rot, mill a matching sill, and seal the joint properly.
- Frozen operators and bent hinge arms on casement windows. The intense sun and salt air accelerate metal fatigue on ES hardware. We stock common operator arms and hinges locally so most repairs happen in one visit.
ES Windows Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fort Lauderdale’s FEMA floodplain regulations and the 50% substantial improvement rule push owners to renovate existing structures rather than rebuild. What that means in practice: many of our ES Windows jobs are part of a our General Contractor in Fort Lauderdale elevation or hardening project, where we must match the old frame size to avoid triggering a full impact-rating upgrade. That requirement is applied less aggressively in neighboring Broward cities like Pompano or Hollywood. In a neighborhood like Rio Vista, a 1958 ranch with original ES E-3000 casements might need only a sill rebuild and new hardware to stay compliant, while that same house in a different municipality would be forced into full impact window replacement. We know the Fort Lauderdale building department’s read on this rule because we sit in the same permit office you do. It changes the math, and we plan for it before the first screw comes out. That’s the difference between a contractor who works in Fort Lauderdale and one who actually understands how Fort Lauderdale regulates renovation.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We service the full ES Windows lineup you’ll find in Fort Lauderdale homes and condos: the E-3000 High Performance Aluminum Series, the E-5000 Heavy Commercial Aluminum Series common in high-rise and mid-rise buildings, the Wood Clad Series found in higher-end single-family Bathroom Remodeling - Fort Lauderdale and whole-home remodels, and the Impact Resistant Series that carries Miami-Dade product approval. We default to OEM ES Windows hardware (latches, rollers, balances, weatherstripping) when lead times allow, because the jambs and frames are machined for those exact profiles. For obsolete trim or older wood clad units, we source exact-match aftermarket extrusions and sash kits from local Fort Lauderdale millwork suppliers. We are honest when a full ES window replacement makes more sense than another repair on a salt-battered retrofit.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Fort Lauderdale
In most cases we can repair it. Pitting on the visible face is cosmetic and sandable, but if corrosion has eaten through the wall thickness of the extrusion, the sash loses structural integrity and replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you the difference at the free estimate. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll put eyes on it.
Almost always both. Sand and shell grit grind into the bottom track, the rollers bind, and the track picks up nicks that make the next set of rollers fail faster. We pull the panel, clean the track, replace OEM rollers, and if the track is too far gone, we replace that extrusion too. Call (754) 551-2922 for an exact quote, free.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. ES aluminum frames from the 1970s often have enough throat depth to accept an impact-rated IGU, but we need to check the existing weatherstripping and mounting flange condition first. In Fort Lauderdale, keeping the same frame size can also keep you out of a full impact-rating upgrade on an existing structure, which is a meaningful savings. We’ll measure and tell you straight.
Yes. We regularly work in high-rise and mid-rise condos where ES E-5000 Heavy Commercial units are common. High-rise work requires coordination with condo associations, insurance certificates, and sometimes swing-stage access, and we handle all of that. You’ll get the same written price and 365-Day Done Right Promise whether the job is four floors up or forty.
Yes, if the rot hasn’t spread into the jamb or the rough opening framing. We cut out the rotted material, mill a new sill to match the original profile, and seal everything against standing water from Florida thunderstorms. If the rot has reached the Dade County pine framing, we’ll tell you that too, and the repair gets bigger. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll inspect it.

On a 1958 ranch in Rio Vista, our crew pulled a sagging ES E-3000 casement with a frozen operator and white corrosion at the sill. We replaced the hinge arm and bottom track with OEM ES parts, milled a new sill to match the original 3-1/4 inch depth, and re-bedded the frame in butyl tape before replacing the cracked interior screen track. The homeowner avoided a full window replacement and kept the original barrel tile roof line intact. That’s the kind of judgment we bring to every ES Windows job in Fort Lauderdale.
