ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood: What to Know First
We install and replace ES Windows custom and geometric windows in Hollywood as an independent ES Windows service provider. Most measured surveys are scheduled within two business days, and the written quote you receive is the same document we build the job from - no change orders, no surprises. Custom shapes, arched tops, and oversized fixed units typically run $1,800-$4,200 installed depending on the series and whether the opening needs structural reframing.
This page is for Hollywood homeowners who already have ES Windows products and need custom or geometric units replaced, or who are comparing ES Windows against other impact-rated lines for a new installation. If you’re looking at a shaped opening - an eyebrow arch, a half-round, or a trapezoid unit over a front door - the measurement protocol matters more than the brand name. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule a free measured survey, or bring us any written estimate for a free second opinion.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ES-Impact 5500 series: seal failure in geometric sashes. The 5500’s dual-pane IGUs in custom shapes often develop fog between the glass after six to eight years in Hollywood’s salt-air corridor. The curved or angled spacer bar creates stress points that standard rectangular units don’t face. We measure the sightline and order a replacement IGU with a warm-edge spacer sized to the exact chord dimensions, not a field-cut approximation.
- ES-Casement custom widths: operator arm binding. Wider custom casements in the 4000 series - especially those over 36 inches - can develop operator fatigue where the scissor arm meets the sash rail. The geometry of a trapezoid or parallelogram puts uneven torque on the mechanism. We replace with OEM-grade operators rated for the actual sash weight, and we shim the frame square before the new hardware goes in.
- ES Fixed Architectural: water intrusion at the head flashing. Oversized fixed geometric units, particularly half-rounds installed above rectangular picture windows, often leak where the curved head meets the straight jamb. The ES factory flashing detail assumes a standard rectangular rough opening. We fabricate a custom sill pan and head flashing in the field, documented in the photo record, to bridge that transition without disturbing the stucco.
- ES Sliding geometric: roller track deformation in south-facing elevations. Custom-shaped sliding units on Hollywood homes with unshaded southern exposure can develop track bowing from thermal cycling. The aluminum rail expands and contracts more aggressively than the vinyl jamb. We specify stainless steel rollers with a higher dynamic load rating and verify the track is shimmed to maintain level across the full span.
- ES 3000 series: laminated glass delamination at cutout points. Custom geometric units in the 3000 line that include notched corners or radius cuts for structural posts sometimes show separation of the PVB interlayer at those stress concentrators. It’s a manufacturing vulnerability, not an installation error. We document the delamination with frame readings and photos, then source a replacement sash with reinforced edge deletion per ES’s engineering bulletin.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process

- 1
Measured survey you keep. We arrive with a laser measure, level, and the ES Windows spec binder. You get a copy of every dimension, including rough opening, daylight opening, and sightline - the visible glass edge after the frame covers.
- 2
Diagnosis and documentation. We photograph the existing unit, note the series marking on the frame extrusion, and record any deflection or squareness issues. This becomes the evidence file for the job.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified equivalent. For IGUs and hardware, we default to ES factory parts when lead times are under four weeks. For discontinued series or urgent timelines, we source aftermarket components that meet the original performance spec and document the substitution in writing.
- 4
Fabrication coordination. Custom geometric units require a shop drawing approval. We review the drawing against our field measurements before signing off - Sonia Raman checks every geometric order against the actual rough-opening dimensions before anything gets released to production. Measure the opening, not your optimism.
- 5
Installation and testing. The crew installs per ES’s published guidelines, with our added flashing details for Hollywood’s wind-driven rain exposure. We operate every moving part, check the seal with a smoke pencil, and photograph the completed work.
- 6
Written closeout. You receive the final invoice - identical to the quote - plus the photo record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped under the Haven Standard.

AfterWhat ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard rectangular replacement, ES-Impact 3000/4000 series | $1,100 - $1,800 |
| Geometric fixed unit (half-round, quarter-round, trapezoid) | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Custom arched casement or awning, operable | $2,400 - $4,200 |
| Oversized fixed architectural unit, over 60 sq ft | $3,800 - $6,500 |
| Structural reframing for enlarged or reshaped opening | $800 - $2,400 additional |
What moves the price: the series you choose (3000, 4000, 5500, or Architectural), whether the unit is impact-rated or non-impact, the complexity of the geometric cut, and whether the rough opening needs reframing. Laminated glass, low-E coatings, and custom grid patterns add line items we name in writing.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Hollywood for ES Windows Work

We’ve installed ES Windows products in Hollywood since the line first showed up in South Florida distribution, and we’ve learned where the factory details hold up and where they need augmentation for local conditions. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. Every job leaves a documented photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on the invoice, not offered as a favor.
If ES Windows lead times stretch or a series discontinues, we can specify equivalent performance from PGT, CGI, CWS, or ECO Window Systems without starting your research over. The measured survey you keep works for any brand we quote.
FAQs
No. ES Windows’ product warranty covers manufacturing defects regardless of who installs or services the unit, provided the work follows their published guidelines. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we install to factory spec and document our methods in the photo record. If a defect is factory-origin, we help you file the claim with the documentation ES requires. Call (754) 714-7309 and we’ll review your warranty status during the free estimate.
Standard geometric shapes in the 3000 and 4000 series typically ship in four to six weeks. The Architectural line and oversized custom units can run eight to twelve weeks depending on glass complexity. We quote the current lead time in writing at the survey, and we don’t start your deposit clock until you’ve approved the shop drawing. Call (754) 714-7309 for current ES Windows production schedules.
Sometimes. ES has retired several early geometric profiles, but we can often fabricate a compatible replacement from the current Architectural line or specify a PGT or CGI equivalent that fits the same rough opening. We bring the extrusion samples to the survey so you can compare sightlines and frame depths before deciding. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule a look at your unit.
If the frame is square, the hardware operates smoothly, and the exterior finish is intact, an IGU replacement is usually the right call - typically $380-$720 for a custom geometric depending on size and whether it’s impact-rated. If the frame shows deflection, corrosion at the weep holes, or repeated seal failure, replacement protects you from a second service charge. We document both options in writing with prices for each. Call (754) 714-7309 for a free second opinion on any estimate.
Yes, for any job that requires it under Hollywood’s building code. Impact-rated replacements in the same opening typically don’t need a permit. Enlargements, structural modifications, or conversions from non-impact to impact-rated do. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and pass it - included in the written scope, never added later. Call (754) 714-7309 and we’ll confirm whether your specific job triggers a permit requirement.
