ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Sarasota: What to Know First

We install, repair, and replace ES Windows custom and geometric windows across Sarasota, from curved transoms in Laurel Park to oversized trapezoids overlooking Sarasota Bay. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we handle the shaped openings other contractors walk away from: arches, circles, hexagons, triangles, and custom impact-rated builds. Most custom ES Windows jobs run two to six weeks from template to installation, and pricing starts with a free, line-itemed estimate rather than a guess. If you own ES Windows with an unusual shape or a failing seal, call (941) 267-0779 and a real person answers.

This page is for Sarasota homeowners who already know ES Windows builds a serious product but need someone local who actually understands how those custom geometries behave in Florida’s salt air, humidity, and hurricane season. That’s us.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Panda series corner-joint separation on radius units. The ES Windows Panda series, which shows up often in Sarasota condos and mid-century remodels, uses a mechanically fastened corner that can open up on a radius window after years of thermal cycling. The frame expands and contracts at a different rate than the curved glass, and the joint at the spring line is the first to let go. We disassemble the corner, re-bed the gasket, and reinforce the join so air and water stay outside where they belong.
• W-Seal gasket compression set on large fixed geometrics. ES Windows uses a W-shaped weather seal on fixed custom shapes, and after five or six Sarasota summers that rubber loses its memory. The symptom is a window that looks fine but feels drafty, or a faint whistle when an afternoon thunderstorm pushes wind from the west. We replace the gasket with a matched ES-spec profile rather than a generic hardware-store strip, because the wrong durometer rubber leaves the same gap six months later.
• Water infiltration at the sill on custom triangular units. Triangular and trapezoid windows in Sarasota homes collect water differently than rectangles. The bottom apex holds water longer, and if the weep system isn’t perfectly sloped, you get staining on the interior drywall below. We’ve pulled dozens of these out of stucco openings in Gulf Gate and found the same thing: the original installer tucked the pan flashing too shallow. We rebuild the sill with a proper drainage plane and re-seal the exterior with marine-grade sealant that holds up to salt spray.
• Hard-to-operate awning hardware on arched ES Windows. Arched and half-round ES Windows with operable awning vents use a multi-point hardware set that seizes when corrosion builds up in the pivot points. This is a classic Sarasota problem: the salt air wrecks the lubricant first, then the pivot pins. Rather than forcing the crank until something snaps, we disassemble the hardware, clean each pivot, and replace any worn pins with OEM or better-quality aftermarket parts that match the original geometry.
• Glass seal failure on ES Windows impact laminated units. When the seal around the laminated glass in an ES impact window fails, you get hazing or condensation between the panes. On a custom geometric window, replacing that glass means cutting a new lite to an exact template, not ordering from a catalog. We template on-site with laser measurements, order the glass from a local fabricator, and install it under the same standards as the original build. On windows still under the ES Windows warranty, we’ll point you to the right channel and help with the paperwork, because we’d rather keep your warranty intact than make a quick sale.

Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (941) 267-0779, day or night, and get a live human. You describe the window, the shape, the problem. We ask questions a template-script never would: Which direction does it face? When did you first notice it? Is the opening stucco, wood, or block?
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic with laser templating. We show up on time in uniform, background-checked. For custom geometries, we template with a laser rather than a tape measure, because a sixteenth of an inch off on a circle means a gap you’ll feel every winter.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs. matched aftermarket. We walk you through what’s original ES Windows equipment, what’s precision-matched aftermarket, and what the cost and lead-time difference looks like. No decoder ring. If the window is under warranty, we tell you and help you file.
4. 4
   The work itself. We remove, rebuild, or replace the window, protecting the opening and your floors the whole time. Every technician works on Sarasota homes every week, so we know what a stucco opening in this climate actually needs.
5. 5
   Water test and operation check. Before we pack up, we test the install with water where geometry permits and cycle the window open and closed. If the drainage doesn’t work, we don’t leave. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise at work.
6. 6
   Line-item invoice and the promise. You get an invoice that matches the estimate. If anything isn’t right down the road, you call the same number and we make it right. That promise runs for a century, which is longer than the window and longer than a national chain’s attention span.

What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Sarasota

Custom and geometric window work in Sarasota carries a wider spread than stock rectangular work because every template, glass cut, and frame corner is unique. Here’s what we see on typical ES Windows jobs in this market:

• Gasket replacement on a standard-sized ES fixed window: $180 to $350 per window, depending on the linear feet of seal and access.
• Hardware rebuild on an operable arched or awning ES window: $250 to $500, including new pivot pins and lubricant matched to coastal exposure.
• Full corner-joint repair on a radius or custom ES frame: $400 to $750 per joint, including re-bedding and exterior reseal.
• Replacement glass for a laminated ES impact unit: $600 to $1,400 per lite, driven by the size of the template and the impact rating of the glass.
• Complete custom ES Windows replacement for an oversized or shaped opening: $2,800 to $8,000 installed, depending on geometry, frame finish, and whether you’re going back in with impact-rated laminate.

What moves the price in Sarasota: how high the window sits (second-story curved transoms mean scaffold work), the stucco condition around the opening, and whether the original install was flashed correctly in the first place. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed, so nothing changes once we start. Call (941) 267-0779 to schedule yours.
