AfterES Windows Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent Es Windows sales & service provider, and we work on these windows and doors across Delray Beach every week. The thing that changes the equation here versus anywhere else in Florida is the salt. Delray sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so ES Windows frames get hit from both sides, which means corrosion shows up years earlier than it does inland. If you own ES Windows in Delray Beach and they’re binding, leaking, or failing a condo inspection, call TruePane at (813) 320-9346. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s repairable or whether Palm Beach County code says it’s time to replace.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties get passed off as normal. He grew up in Seminole Heights, spent more time on the shop floor than in the classroom at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, and has been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Florida for the better part of two decades. Our crew has spent over ten years replacing ES Windows units in Delray Beach condo high-rises and historic CBS homes, so we keep a library of ES Windows profiles and hardware for the exact aluminum and impact models found along the A1A corridor.
We’re an independent service provider, never manufacturer-authorized. That matters for one reason: our recommendations come from building science and South Florida code realities, not from a warranty sales target. We stock OEM-equivalent rollers, keepers, and weatherseals for ES Windows Series 8800 and Portofino lines so we can restore operation without full replacement when the frames are still sound. But when a unit is seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line or a sale inspection is pending, we’ll tell you honestly if a repair won’t pass code, and replacement with a current impact-rated ES Windows model is the only legal path.
Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Sliders that barely open on A1A condo towers. Original ES Windows aluminum doors have spent decades in salt air from the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. The frames oxidize and swell, the tracks corrode, and residents can’t budge the door. We replace the worn OEM nylon rollers, clean or rebuild the track, and get it sliding again when the extrusion is still sound.
- Water intrusion behind the walls on Intracoastal-facing elevations. Corroded EPDM seals and clogged weep systems let water sit inside the frame before you ever see a stain on the drywall. By the time the leak shows inside, the damage is already done. We pull the sash, replace the weatherseal, clear the weeps, and reseal the rough opening.
- Non-impact ES Windows single-hung units failing resale inspections. Anything installed before Hurricane Andrew likely won’t meet Palm Beach County’s 170+ mph design pressure requirements. Inspectors flag them immediately. We quote current impact-rated ES Windows Single-Hung and Fixed/Picture models side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
- Lock stile misalignment from forced operation. When a door binds from frame corrosion and somebody forces it, the door stile bends and the lock stops engaging. We see this in Lake Ida and Del Ida Park regularly. The fix is a straightening or a stile replacement, plus new keepers, but only after the underlying corrosion is addressed.
- Black staining and pitting on anodized aluminum frames. That’s the salt air at work. It’s cosmetic at first, but pitting that penetrates the anodized layer opens the raw aluminum to deeper corrosion. We’ll tell you when it’s worth treating and when the frame has lost enough structural integrity that replacement is the honest answer.
ES Windows Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach is one of the only cities in Palm Beach County where the Intracoastal Waterway runs through the center of the city, which means nearly every property between Federal Highway and the beach gets salt-laden air from two directions at once. Neighboring inland cities like Boca Raton and Boynton Beach simply don’t create this dual-salt environment. What that does to ES Windows frames is measurable. On older A1A condo towers, the original aluminum sliders have oxidized and swollen to the point where residents can barely open them, and when a unit goes to sale, inspectors flag the doors immediately because they don’t meet current impact ratings. A sale that should take 45 days stalls because a door won’t pass inspection. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
Dale Kessler’s crew was called to a condo high-rise on the A1A corridor after a unit’s original ES Windows Series 8800 sliding glass door had swollen so badly the owner couldn’t open it for a pre-sale inspection. We measured the slab, identified corrosion on the bottom track and EPDM seal, and installed a new impact-rated ES Windows sliding door with stainless steel hardware matching the building’s approved bronze finish. The inspection cleared the same week.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service the full range of ES Windows product lines found in Delray Beach: the Series 8800 sliding glass doors, Portofino Series impact sliding doors, Single-Hung Impact Windows, and Fixed/Picture Impact Windows. Our parts approach is simple: we use OEM-equivalent components when they match the original spec and meet current code, and we say so on the invoice. We keep rollers, keepers, and weatherseals for Series 8800 and Portofino lines stocked locally so Delray Beach turnaround doesn’t mean waiting on a shipment. If a frame has lost its structural integrity or won’t meet wind-load requirements, we don’t patch it. We quote the correct impact-rated replacement and register both warranty layers before we leave the driveway.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Service pricing in Delray Beach varies by what we find. A roller replacement on a sliding door is a fraction of a full impact door replacement. We don’t give a number until we’ve measured the opening, checked the frame, and pulled the sash. What drives cost: whether the frame is still structurally sound, whether the unit sits seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, and whether a historic district board must approve the profile. A free estimate from us means a written, line-item quote on paper, no surprises on the bill, and both warranty layers registered in writing if we do the work. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote, and ask about our a free written repair estimate and the permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
The frame is corroding, not the glass. Original aluminum extrusions swell as salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal penetrates the anodized layer, and the bottom track oxidizes until the rollers can’t roll. It’s not a glass problem, and it’s not worth forcing the door. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you if the frame is salvageable or if the corrosion has gone too deep.
Yes, in many cases. Properties seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line fall under stricter wind-load and product-approval requirements, and condos on the A1A corridor often have association-level engineering review before a permit is pulled. We handle the permit path on every job, including the wind mitigation documentation Palm Beach County requires. Our estimates are free, and we’ll walk you through the approval sequence before work starts.
Sometimes, but the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board must approve replacement window profiles and materials, even when you’re installing modern impact glass. If the original frames are structurally sound and the right profile is available, a retrofit may be possible. If they’re corroded past the point of code compliance, replacement is the only legal path. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll give you the straight answer.
It’s the salt-laden air doing its work. The Intracoastal runs north-south through the center of Delray Beach, so even inland neighborhoods like Lake Ida catch salt from the waterway, unlike areas served by our Es Windows repair in Deerfield Beach. The staining is oxidation, and pitting means the corrosion has broken through the anodized finish. Left alone, it weakens the extrusion. We’ll assess the frame and recommend treatment or replacement accordingly.
Insurers and Palm Beach County code-compliance drives are forcing associations to bring pre-Andrew buildings up to current impact standards, and building-wide retrofits are the most efficient path. TruePane has run multi-unit contracts on the A1A corridor for over a decade, and we know the building inventory on that stretch of coast. For associations and owners, our pricing is on paper, up front, and with no change orders. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on your building or unit.
