ES Windows Construction in Orlando, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Orlando
ES Windows service in Orlando comes down to one thing most contractors miss: these aluminum frames get pushed hard by our humidity and afternoon storms, and fixing them correctly means understanding how they fail here, not just how they’re built. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Orlando, an independent ES Windows service provider, and our team has pulled apart more T-Series and 7500 Series units in College Park and Delaney Park than we can count. We handle everything from sash balances to full impact window replacement. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Trevor Nash, our owner, learned framing and finish work at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades on job sites, and he’s the first to say a window that works in dry air behaves differently after five Orlando summers. That’s the experience we bring to every ES Windows job. We’re a full-service remodeling contractor offering Bathroom Remodeling - Orlando and more, so when we find water damage behind a window frame, we fix that too. One call, one crew, one written price.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We know ES Windows products the way a mechanic knows a specific engine. The T-Series thermally broken aluminum, the Summit Series, the 7500 and 8500 lines, they all have distinct hardware, seal geometry, and failure patterns. When a homeowner in Orlando calls about a slider that won’t glide or a frame sweating between the panes, we usually know the cause before we arrive. That saves you a second trip and a second service fee.
Our shop is also local. We stock common ES Windows rollers, balances, weatherstripping, and weep hole covers right here in Orlando, so a sagging sash or a leaking corner doesn’t turn into a three-week waiting game. And because we’re independent, with no factory affiliation, we recommend what’s actually best for your window and your house. If a $200 weatherstripping replacement fixes the leak, we say so. If the thermal break is shot and the frame will keep failing, we tell you that too. If you want to explore new units, our ES Windows sales & service team can walk you through options and get you a written line-item price.
Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and in uniform. A live person answers our phone around the clock, and the price we give you in writing is the price on the invoice. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Failed corner seals on T-Series sliders. Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms hit hard and fast. When the corner seals on an older ES Windows T-Series unit crack or peel away, wind-driven rain gets channeled straight into the frame channel and then onto your tile or carpet. We pulled a T-Series slider in College Park where water pooled on the floor after every storm. The fix was a new OEM gasket, new weep hole covers, and fresh silicone at the fin. It’s stayed dry through two hurricane seasons.
- Stiff or jammed sashes on 7500 Series windows. Our hot days and air-conditioned interiors put aluminum frames through constant expansion and contraction cycles. Over years, that thermal cycling warps tracks and stresses rollers on ES Windows 7500 Series units until the sash won’t move without a fight. We replace the worn rollers and realign the frame, or if the sash itself is twisted, we recommend replacement rather than forcing it.
- Condensation and mold on Summit Series frames. Deteriorating weatherstripping and gaskets on ES Windows Summit Series windows let humid Orlando air infiltrate around the sash. You’ll see fog between the panes first, then black spots forming on the interior frame. This is common in older homes with single-pane Summit units. We replace the gaskets and weatherstripping with materials rated for our humidity, and we check the frame for hidden rot while we’re in there.
- Corroded weep holes on aluminum frames. In parts of Orlando that catch windborne salt from passing storms and constant humidity, even powder-coated ES Windows frames can pit around the weep holes. Those tiny drainage channels are critical, and when they clog or corrode, water backs up inside the frame. We clean out the channels, repair the surrounding metal, and replace the weep covers so drainage works again.
- Water intrusion behind the frame. Sometimes the window itself is fine, but the installation was never flashed correctly. We see this most in Orlando’s 1970s-2000s tract homes, where stucco meets the window fin and water finds a gap. We pull the trim, inspect the rough opening, and reflash the frame so the window and the wall both stay dry.
ES Windows Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something specific to Orlando that surprises a lot of homeowners. Unlike Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Orlando has no coastal zones, so our building code doesn’t mandate impact windows based on proximity to the ocean. But insurance companies don’t care about that distinction. Wind mitigation inspections are everywhere in Central Florida, and the discounts for impact-rated windows and hurricane ties are significant. That’s why so many Orlando homeowners choose ES Windows impact-rated units, not because code forces them to, but because their insurance premium drops enough to help offset the cost. If you’re replacing windows in a major remodel, we’ll tell you exactly which ES Windows models meet Florida Building Code impact standards and what documentation you’ll need for your insurance credit. It’s one of the first questions we ask on a walkthrough, because it changes the window spec and the budget.
In neighborhoods like College Park and Delaney Park, where original 1920s-1950s wood-frame homes sit alongside newer block construction, we also deal with a different kind of challenge. Those older homes frequently have unpermitted additions and original framing that has settled or shifted. An ES Windows unit installed into a racked opening will never seat or seal properly. We check the rough opening for square before we order or install anything, because a perfect window in a crooked hole leaks just like a broken one.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We service the full ES Windows line we most commonly see across Orlando: T-Series thermally broken aluminum frames, Summit Series, 7500 Series, and 8500 Series. Our parts approach is straightforward. We always try OEM ES Windows hardware and seals first because the tolerances are exact and they’re what the window was designed for. When factory lead times stretch out, we use proven aftermarket equivalents that meet AAMA standards for Florida’s wind-load requirements. No generic hardware that fits “close enough.”
We also stock common parts locally for faster turnaround on Orlando repairs. Sash balances, rollers, corner seals, weatherstripping, and weep hole covers for the mainstream ES Windows lines are usually in our van or our shop. That means fewer days with a window that won’t close, which matters when you’re trying to keep July humidity out of your house.

AfterES Windows Service Pricing in Orlando
Window work is priced by scope, not by guesswork. Here’s what you can expect for ES Windows service in Orlando.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| ES Windows Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |

| ES Windows Weatherstripping Replacement | $200 – $600 |

What moves the number: how many windows, which line, impact-rated glass or not, frame condition, and whether we’re repairing the surrounding stucco or trim. A simple sash balance replacement on a single window sits at the low end. A whole-house impact package in a two-story Orlando home lands at the top. We also handle full Orlando service area remodels where windows are part of a larger scope, and our written estimate covers everything line by line. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll come out, measure, and hand you a written number before anyone picks up a tool.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Orlando
Can you replace just the glass in my ES Windows T-Series unit, or do I need a whole new window?
In many cases, yes, we can replace just the insulated glass unit (IGU) on a T-Series frame, provided the frame itself is square and the thermal break is intact. If you’re seeing fog between panes, that’s a failed seal in the IGU, and glass-only replacement is often the cheaper fix. But if the aluminum frame is corroded or the corner seals have failed separately, a glass swap won’t stop the leak, and we’ll say so. Call (850) 427-6454 for an exact assessment, the visit and estimate are free.
Do ES Windows need special hurricane protection in Orlando, or are they impact-rated already?
Some ES Windows models are impact-rated from the factory and carry the proper Florida Building Code approvals; some are standard non-impact units. The label tells us. If yours are impact-rated, you don’t need shutters or film for code compliance or insurance credit, assuming the installation was done to the required standard. If they’re not impact-rated and you want the insurance discount, we can install a compliant ES Windows impact package. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll check the labels during the estimate.
Why is my ES Windows aluminum frame sweating and growing mold on the inside during Orlando summers?
What you’re seeing is condensation from humid outside air leaking past worn weatherstripping and gaskets. The aluminum frame is cold on the air-conditioned side, and when moist air reaches it, water forms. Over time that moisture feeds mold on the interior frame and sashes. The fix is replacing the gaskets and weatherstripping with fresh material, and in some cases upgrading to thermally broken frames if the problem is severe. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written quote on weatherstripping replacement.
Can you match the finish on my existing ES Windows 7500 Series if I only replace a few windows?
ES Windows finish codes are fairly consistent, and we can typically match the powder-coat or anodized finish on a 7500 Series unit when you’re replacing only part of a window wall. There are situations where the original finish has faded and a perfect match isn’t possible, in which case we’ll show you the closest available option before ordering anything. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll bring finish samples to the estimate.
How long does an ES Windows replacement take in an Orlando home, and will I need to vacate the room?
A single window replacement typically takes one day, including trim and caulking. A whole-house package of ten or more windows usually runs three to five working days, depending on framing conditions and weather. You don’t typically need to vacate the room, though we’ll ask you to move furniture away from the openings and keep kids and pets out of the work zone while the old unit is out. Call (850) 427-6454 for a schedule estimate on your specific job.
