1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.

Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

ES Windows Window Replacement: The Clewiston Owner’s Guide
We stock and install ES Windows-compatible replacement units across Clewiston, with typical installed pricing running $340 to $780 per opening depending on series, size, and whether the frame needs reworking. Most ES Windows replacements we handle are quoted from the measured survey you keep and installed within two business days once the unit is spec’d. Homeowners usually discover the problem when the sash won’t stay up, the lock no longer draws the meeting rail tight, or they feel air movement around the frame edge during a westerly blow across the cane fields.
Which ES Windows Models This Applies To
ES Windows manufactures three residential series that circulate in Clewiston: the ES 100 single-hung (non-impact), ES 200 single-hung (impact-rated), and ES 5000 horizontal roller. The label you need is the etched mark in the glass corner or the stamped aluminum tag on the frame head, which carries the series code, glass thickness, and NFRC performance numbers. We match to that label, not to a photograph, because ES Windows has revised its frame extrusions twice since 2018 and the 2020-and-later ES 200 uses a different sash balance pocket than the 2015-2019 run.
On OEM versus quality aftermarket: ES Windows sells complete sash packs and frame components through its distributor network, but lead times run 4-6 weeks for discontinued color finishes. We stock commercial-grade aftermarket balances, weatherstrip profiles, and glazing beads that match the ES extrusion dimensions dead-on, and we document the substitution on your written scope. For impact-rated units, we use OEM glass only. The compatibility gotcha in Clewiston is the ES 5000 roller series with the 2 1/4-inch frame depth; aftermarket rollers sized for the more common 2-inch frame will chatter in the track and chew the sill cap within a season.
Before
AfterSigns Your ES Windows Window Replacement Is Failing
- Sash drops or won’t stay open. The coil balance system has lost tension, usually from corrosion in the balance shoe after years of humidity cycling. In Clewiston, we see this accelerate on east-facing elevations where morning condensation sits in the jamb pocket until mid-morning.
- Visible daylight or air movement at the meeting rail. The interlock weatherstrip has compressed past recovery or the sash cam has worn. The underlying cause is often the homeowner forcing a warped sash closed rather than addressing the balance issue that caused the misalignment.
- Condensation between glass panes. The insulating glass unit seal has failed, releasing the argon fill and allowing moisture migration. ES Windows units from the 2016-2018 production window used a dual-seal system that held up well in South Florida but still degrades faster on unshaded south walls.
- Frame corner gaps or sealant separation. Thermal expansion has stressed the mechanical corner keys, or the original installation used an incompatible sealant against the ES aluminum finish. We check this with a feeler gauge at the sill corner; anything over 1/16 inch gets documented.
- Lock tongue won’t engage or spins freely. The mortise lock body has cracked internally, often from repeated slamming against a sash that was already out of square. The lock is the last thing to fail; by the time it does, the balance and weatherstrip are usually already compromised.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Scope | Price Range in Clewiston |
|---|---|
| Balance and weatherstrip replacement (sash-in-place) | $180 - $290 |
| Complete sash pack (glass + frame + hardware) | $340 - $520 |
| Full frame replacement, standard opening | $580 - $780 |
| Full frame replacement, oversized or custom shape | $820 - $1,400 |
What drives the range: the ES series (impact glass adds material cost), whether the rough opening needs reframing from water intrusion, and whether the exterior finish requires color-matched trim coil. Our quote is the measured survey you keep; the final invoice is the same document. Every replacement carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise under the Haven Standard, and we leave a photo record of the completed seal and lock engagement.
DIY or Call Us?
An owner can safely check the label location, photograph any visible frame damage, and confirm the symptom timing. What goes wrong fast: ES Windows impact sashes weigh 40 to 65 pounds depending on glass make-up, and the balance system stores enough tension to snap a finger or launch a sash if released incorrectly. We do not recommend homeowner removal of any sash over 30 pounds or any unit with laminated glass. The other failure mode we see is improper shimming during reinstallation, which voids the manufacturer’s frame warranty and leaves the unit racked for premature seal failure. Call (863) 509-1135 and we’ll schedule the measured survey; the written price comes before any tool is lifted.
FAQs
How long should an ES Windows unit last in Clewiston?
With proper installation, 18 to 25 years for the frame and hardware, 12 to 15 years for the insulating glass seal in full sun exposure. The humidity and wind load near the U.S. Sugar corridor on the south side of town push the lower end of that range if the original installer skipped the sill pan flashing. Call (863) 509-1135 for an exact quote on your specific unit - estimates are free.
Can the window be repaired instead of replaced?
Balance, lock, and weatherstrip failures are repairable. Failed glass seals and cracked frame corners require full sash or frame replacement. We stock the repairable parts on our trucks for ES Windows units; if the glass is fogged, the sash pack is the only fix. Call (863) 509-1135 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How long does the swap take once you start?
A balance or hardware repair runs 45 to 90 minutes per opening. A full sash pack replacement is 2 to 3 hours including removal, rough-opening inspection, and seal verification. Full frame replacements typically finish in a day for a standard residential opening. Call (863) 509-1135 to schedule - estimates are free.
Do you stock ES Windows parts?
We stock balances, weatherstrip, locks, and rollers that match ES Windows extrusion dimensions, plus OEM glass for impact-rated units. Complete frame extrusions and custom-color sash packs are ordered to spec with a 2 to 3 week lead. Call (863) 509-1135 to confirm availability for your series and color - estimates are free.
