ES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent ES Windows service provider offering Window Installation - Sunrise and more across the city. In short: if you own an ES window or door in this city, the question is rarely whether the hardware can be fixed. It’s whether the fix will still pass Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone inspection. That’s the difference between ES Windows service here and ES Windows service anywhere else in Florida.
Our crew knows the Tuscany Series casements, Ventana Series double hungs, Portofino Series sliders, and Monaco picture windows the way a mechanic knows a particular engine. We have torn them down, found where they fail, and learned what actually holds up when Sunrise’s wind loads and salt air do their worst. Call (813) 320-9346 and describe what you’re seeing. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth fixing.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Most window companies in Broward sell new windows. They’re not particularly interested in the ES unit you already own. We take a different view. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up around building maintenance work, and he still runs TruePane with the rule his father taught him: a callback is a character flaw. That means when we service an ES window in Sunrise, we treat it like our own name is stamped on the jamb.
We carry legacy ES hardware that most supply houses stopped stocking years ago. Hinges for early impact casements. Lock stiles. Interlock headers. Dimensional templates that let us quote a replacement cost before any permit gets pulled. For Sunrise specifically, we know which ES frame series will pass an HVHZ inspection and which ones will not, no matter how good the repair is. That knowledge saves you from spending money on a fix that gets red-tagged.
And yes, a person answers the phone. Every call. Not a menu, not a callback form. If you’re comparing ES Windows sales & service providers, start with the phone call. You’ll know in two minutes whether the company on the other end has ever actually set a window in Sunrise.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Sagging sash on early Tuscany Series impact casements. The factory hinge welds fatigue and crack at the corner under repeated pressure cycles. We see this most often in east-facing units near the Sawgrass corridor, where wind loads hit harder. The sash sags, the compression seal lets water through, and the window stops meeting the NOA rating it was sold with.
- Disengaged tilt latches on Ventana Series double hungs. Sunrise’s humidity is relentless, and in older CBS homes, bedroom jamb liners dry and shrink. Once the vinyl liner deforms, the sash-lock alignment drifts and the tilt latch lets go mid-clean. It’s not a broken window. It’s a sizing problem most techs misdiagnose.
- Frozen rollers on Portofino Series sliding glass doors. In original Sunrise condos, wind-driven coral dust and sprinkler overspray fill the bottom track. The factory nylon rollers seize. The door drags, then stops locking flush against the interlock. We pull the panel, clean the track, and replace rollers with load-rated aftermarket units when the original ES parts are obsolete.
- Failed insulated glass in anodized aluminum ES picture windows. Along Pine Island Road, salt-laden air pits the aluminum frame. Once the frame corrodes, the glazing gasket extrudes and the IGU loses its seal. The same Monaco Series unit three miles inland might last a decade longer. In Sunrise’s coastal zones, we recommend seal inspection yearly.
- Original jalousie windows that cannot be brought into compliance. This is a Sunrise-specific problem. Hundreds of 1970s and 1980s condo units around Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road still have louvered jalousie windows in secondary bedrooms and bathrooms. They carry no Miami-Dade NOA. There is no repair path. Full replacement is the only route to a signed inspection.
ES Windows Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing to understand about Sunrise: the entire city sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the same code designation as Miami-Dade. Every permitted window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or NOA. That’s not a guideline. It’s the law. If the product doesn’t have an NOA, the inspector will not sign off. Period.
What this means for ES Windows owners is specific. A Ventana Series double hung installed in a Sunrise condo in 1987 was never tested to today’s HVHZ wind loads. It may look fine. It may operate fine. But if you’re replacing the glass or the sash, the permit application will trigger a review, and if that frame carries no NOA, the city will require a full replacement to impact-rated product. The Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road corridors are dense with these situations. We’re there regularly. For a wider look at how this affects service, see the Sunrise service area page.
Field Story: A Pine Island Road Guest Bath
Our crew pulled a permit for a third-floor unit off Pine Island Road where an original ES Ventana Series double hung in a guest bath had rotted jamb liners and a disengaged tilt latch. The rough opening was a jalousie pocket. We measured the CBS cavity, ordered a Miami-Dade NOA-approved ES impact picture window with stainless anchors, and submitted the NOA document with the permit application. The inspection was signed off the same day the new unit set. That’s what happens when the paperwork and the window show up together.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
We service the ES lines most common in Sunrise’s housing stock: the Tuscany Series impact casement, Ventana Series double hung, Portofino Series Door Installation - Sunrise sliding glass door, and Monaco Series picture window. For hinges, lock stiles, and interlock headers, we use OEM ES Windows hardware only where the frame and NOA require exact model-series match. For obsolete PV2-era rollers and balance springs, we source quality aftermarket parts with the same load rating and tell you upfront what you’re getting.
Some jobs need a full replacement. We won’t dress up a non-NOA frame repair and pretend it’s going to pass Broward’s wind-load inspection. When replacement is the only code-compliant path, we say so. And if you’re in Surfside for part of the year, we handle service there too: ES Windows service in Surfside.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Sunrise
ES Windows service in Sunrise runs higher than across the county line in Fort Lauderdale, and the reason is simple: HVHZ compliance. A glass-only swap on an ES frame that carries no NOA will not pass inspection, so the scope often expands to a full impact-rated replacement. That’s not padding. It’s the law.
Repairs we quote on ES hardware typically fall into these ranges, depending on the model and whether OEM or aftermarket parts apply:
- Roller replacement on a Portofino Series sliding door: $160-$280 per panel
- Hinge replacement on a Tuscany Series casement: $210-$390 per sash
- Tilt latch and jamb liner correction on a Ventana Series double hung: $130-$250
- Full impact replacement with NOA-approved ES product: $850-$1,400 per opening, permit and anchors included
Every quote includes a written line-item breakdown. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free estimate. We’ll measure, show you your options on paper, and tell you what the code requires.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Because Sunrise sits entirely inside Broward’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on every permitted replacement. Fort Lauderdale has portions outside the HVHZ where standard impact-rated windows are permitted. The NOA requirement drives up product cost and the engineering detail behind the install. It’s a code difference, not an installer markup. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through what your specific opening requires.
Sometimes. If the frame itself is NOA-approved and the rollers are the only failure, a roller replacement keeps the door in compliance. But if the interlock is also worn or the frame predates current wind-load testing, the inspection may flag the entire assembly. We tell you before we order parts, not after. Call (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer on your door.
Current Tuscany Series impact casements carry the Miami-Dade NOA and are approved for HVHZ use in Sunrise. The issue is older Tuscany units from earlier production runs. Early hinges fatigue and crack, which voids the unit’s NOA rating even if the glass itself is impact-rated. If your Tuscany casement sags, don’t wait for a storm to find out.
No. Jalousie windows carry no Miami-Dade NOA, and there is no retrofit kit that brings them into HVHZ compliance. The opening must be fully replaced with an NOA-approved impact unit. This is the most common full-replacement trigger we see along Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road. Call (813) 320-9346 for a quote on your specific unit.
Look for the Miami-Dade NOA number etched on the glass or stamped on the frame. If it’s not there, it’s almost certainly a non-impact unit. We can verify it for you during a service call, and if it’s not compliant, we’ll show you what a code-correct replacement costs before any work is authorized. Free estimates, no obligation.
