ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall: What to Know First
We provide independent ES Windows service for custom and geometric windows in Kendall, with most measured surveys scheduled within two business days and written quotes delivered before any work begins. Typical custom geometric installations run $2,800-$7,500 depending on shape complexity, impact rating, and opening size. We do not quote over the phone for ES Windows geometric work; the measurement and the quote are the same document, and both require a site visit.
This page is for Kendall homeowners who already own ES Windows products and need custom-shaped replacements, arched transoms, circular accent windows, or oversized geometric openings that standard catalog sizes will not fit. If your ES Windows frames are showing seal failure, your curved top sash has settled out of square, or your builder-grade geometric unit was never impact-rated to begin with, we can specify, measure, and install the correct replacement. Call (786) 321-3319 to schedule your measured survey.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ES Windows 8100 Series geometric transoms: The arched top rail in the 8100 Series uses a welded PVC corner key that stress-cracks after four to six years of Kendall’s thermal cycling. We see this most often in Dadeland-area townhomes where the transom sits above a west-facing slider. Our fix is a full sash replacement with a heat-welded reinforcement plate at the arch apex, not a surface patch that will reopen in the next heat wave.
- ES Windows 5500 Series custom octagonals: The 5500 Series octagonal fixed units were shipped with a single-point glazing tape application that degrades faster in South Florida’s UV exposure than the dual-bead system ES Windows later adopted. We remove the failed tape, clean the rabbet to bare PVC, and reinstall with a structural silicone back-bead plus cap bead - the same method we use on PGT and CGI custom units, adapted to the 5500 Series frame depth.
- ES Windows 4000 Series oversized picture windows: The 4000 Series was not originally engineered for spans over 72 inches without a mullion, yet we regularly find 84-inch and 96-inch custom picture units in Kendall homes built during the 2018-2021 construction surge. The center stile deflects, the IG unit loses its edge seal, and the sash bows visibly. We specify a reinforced subframe or a factory-ordered mullioned replacement, and we document the deflection with a straightedge photo before quoting either solution.
- ES Windows custom radius tops with aftermarket glazing: Some Kendall installers substituted non-ES impact laminates in radius-top units to hit a price point, using flat glass that was heat-bent after fabrication. The result is optical distortion at the crown and premature delamination. We identify the substitute glass with a polariscope check, quote the correct ES Windows OEM curved laminate or a verified equivalent from our CWS or ECO Window Systems lines, and explain the difference in writing.
- ES Windows geometric hardware in coastal exposure: The standard multipoint lock hardware on ES Windows geometric casements uses a zinc alloy that corrodes in Kendall’s salt air within three years if the weep system is blocked. We see this on ground-floor units near Snapper Creek and the canals off SW 88th Street. Our repair includes hardware replacement with a marine-grade stainless option, weep channel cleaning and resizing, and a written maintenance note for the homeowner’s file.
Our ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process

- 1
Measured survey: We arrive with a laser measure, a straightedge, and a camera. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member records the opening width at three heights, the radius or chord dimensions for any arch or circle, and the existing frame’s plumb and level. You keep a copy of this survey; it becomes the basis for the written quote.
- 2
Product specification: We determine whether your job requires an ES Windows OEM replacement, a compatible unit from our PGT, CGI, CWS, or ECO Window Systems lines, or a custom-fabricated solution. We explain the performance difference - U-factor, SHGC, impact rating, and price - in plain terms, and we note any lead time variance.
- 3
Written quote delivery: Haven Clause 1 requires that the measurement and the quote be the same document. You receive a line-item written scope with fixed pricing, no change orders permitted after acceptance. The quote includes the product, installation, sealant, trim, and disposal.
- 4
Installation and documentation: Our crew arrives uniformed and identified by license number. We dry-fit the frame before sealant application - a habit Sonia Raman established years ago that has saved multiple Kendall jobs from costly redos. We photograph each stage: the opening before, the frame set, the glazing bead installation, and the finished unit.
- 5
Final inspection and record: We test operation, verify lock engagement, check weep flow, and review the photo record with you. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated automatically; no separate registration required. You receive the final invoice, the photo documentation, and the warranty terms in one envelope.

Price movers: impact rating level (HVHZ vs. non-HVHZ), glass thickness for oversized units, interior trim complexity, and whether the existing frame can be retained or requires full removal. We do not estimate over the phone; the measured survey determines the final written price.

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

We are an independent ES Windows service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we can source across eight manufacturer lines to match the opening rather than pushing whatever is in stock. Our crew has measured and set frames in Kendall for years, including a full impact-window retrofit on a block of townhomes near Dadeland Mall completed under the Haven Standard with zero change orders.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every ES Windows job we touch - not as a courtesy, but as a clause in our standard engagement. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. Live phone coverage is available 24/7; you will reach a person, not a voicemail queue. And we carry PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems specifications in our quoting system, so if an ES Windows lead time or performance spec does not suit your opening, we can present an alternative with the same written-price guarantee.
Measure once, document it, then cut. That is how we work.
FAQs
No - provided the repair uses OEM or equivalent-spec parts and does not alter the frame structure. We document every part number and sealant specification so the repair record supports, rather than undermines, any remaining factory coverage. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we do not represent the manufacturer, but we follow warranty-safe practices and note them in your file. Call (786) 321-3319 if you need us to review your warranty status against the proposed scope.
OEM ES Windows custom geometric units typically ship in four to six weeks from order confirmation; complex radius tops or oversized units can extend to eight weeks. We maintain relationships with PGT, CGI, and CWS custom shops that can sometimes shorten this window if the ES Windows lead time does not suit your schedule. We quote both options with their respective delivery dates so you can decide. Call (786) 321-3319 to review current lead times for your specific shape and size.
Repair makes sense when the frame is square, the glazing system is the only failure point, and the hardware operates smoothly. Replacement is the better call when the frame has deflected, the IG unit has failed repeatedly, or the original unit was never impact-rated and your insurer or building department now requires it. We make this determination during the measured survey and explain it with photos, not pressure. Call (786) 321-3319 for a free assessment.
Yes - we have cross-referenced ES Windows discontinued profiles against current PGT, CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems catalogs, and we can fabricate matching sightlines and frame depths from those lines when the original is no longer available. We bring sample corners to the survey so you can verify the match before we quote. Call (786) 321-3319 to schedule a sample review.
No. Haven Clause 1 states that the written quote and the measured survey are the same document. The price we write is the price you pay. The only exception is if concealed damage - rot in the rough opening, for example - is discovered after frame removal, and even then we photograph the condition, stop work, and require your written approval before proceeding. We have not issued a change order on an ES Windows geometric job in Kendall in the past three years. Call (786) 321-3319 for your fixed-price estimate.
