New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We install and service ES Windows custom and geometric units as an independent ES Windows service provider in Fort Lauderdale, with most measured surveys scheduled within 48 hours of first contact and written quotes delivered before any work begins. Our typical custom ES Windows order, from measured survey to installation, runs 4-8 weeks depending on the complexity of the shape and the glazing specification. We do not quote over the phone for geometric work; every arched, circular, or polygonal opening requires a field-measured template that becomes the written scope you keep.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already own ES Windows products or are specifying them for a custom opening and need a local installer who handles the measuring, ordering, and installation without handing you off to three different departments. If you’re comparing ES Windows against PGT, CGI, or CWS for a shaped opening, we specify across all eight lines by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your measured survey.
How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ES-5500 Series fixed geometric units: The thermal break in the ES-5500’s aluminum frame can separate at the mitered corners of arched tops, especially where the radius transitions to the jamb. We see this most often in Fort Lauderdale homes east of Federal Highway where salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion at the thermal-break interface. Our fix is a full frame replacement with marine-grade corner keys and a butyl tape bed that accounts for the 1/8-inch expansion the ES-5500 frame sees in summer humidity.
- ES-CW7000 custom curtain wall segments: The pressure plate gaskets in large-format geometric assemblies harden after 6-10 years of UV exposure, losing the seal that keeps wind-driven rain from migrating to the interior track. We replace with EPDM gaskets rated for South Florida exposure, not the standard SBR that ES Windows ships for northern climates, and we document the durometer reading before and after.
- ES-Impact geometric laminated glass: Delamination at the PVB interlayer starts at the edge of shaped units where the glass cutter’s wheel score creates a micro-crack initiation point. In Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms, the thermal shock from rain on sun-heated glass propagates the failure. We do not attempt to re-laminate in the field; we order replacement lites from the ES Windows OEM with edge deletion specified for the exact geometry.
- ES-8000 operable geometric casements: The multi-point locking hardware on the ES-8000’s irregular sash shapes drifts out of alignment because the custom hinge mortising is done by hand at the factory, not by CNC. We measure each keeper position with a digital caliper, shim to within 1/32 inch, and replace worn cams with OEM-spec stainless steel rather than the zinc alloy aftermarket parts that seize in salt air.
- ES-Thermal oversized custom rectangles: Units over 72 inches on either dimension often arrive with bowed frame members that the ES Windows factory considers within tolerance but that prevent proper sash operation. We reject the unit at delivery, photograph the deflection against a straightedge, and reorder - because a window that doesn’t fit isn’t a window, it’s a callback. Sonia Raman keeps a running list of every product failure she’s seen and what caused it, which she considers more useful than any award.
Before
AfterOur ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey and template. We arrive with a digital measuring system and create a full-scale template for any non-rectangular opening. You keep the measured survey; it is the same document we use to generate your written quote.
- 2
Written quote before any work starts. Haven Clause 1: the price is named in dollars on the page, with line items for the ES Windows unit, the glazing specification, the installation method, and any structural reframing. The quote and the survey are the same document.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified equivalent. For ES Windows geometric units, we default to OEM glass and hardware to preserve any remaining warranty coverage. Where ES Windows lead times exceed 12 weeks, we present a verified equivalent with documented Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance numbers and let you decide.
- 4
Installation and real-time documentation. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians install with the license number you were given at scheduling. Every step is photographed: the rough opening before, the shimming, the fastener pattern, the sealant bed, and the finished unit.
- 5
Operational test and sign-off. We cycle operable geometric sashes 10 times, check lock engagement with a feeler gauge, and verify drainage weep holes are clear. You receive the photo record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
- 6
Cleanup and final invoice. The final invoice matches the written quote line for line. No change orders, no surprises.
What ES Windows Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale
These are the price ranges we see most often for ES Windows custom and geometric work in Fort Lauderdale. Your exact quote depends on the measured survey.
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard arched top replacement, ES-5500 series, up to 60″ wide | $1,800 - $2,800 |
| Custom circular or oval fixed unit, ES-5500, with impact-rated laminated glass | $3,200 - $5,400 |
| Large-format geometric curtain wall segment, ES-CW7000, per lite | $4,500 - $8,000 |

| Full glass replacement in existing ES-Impact geometric frame | $1,400 - $2,600 |
What moves the price: the complexity of the shape (a true half-circle costs more than a springline arch), the glazing specification (impact-rated laminated vs. monolithic tempered), whether the opening requires structural reframing for the geometric load path, and access (scaffold, lift, or crane). Call (754) 666-7478 for your exact quote - estimates are free, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale for ES Windows Work
We have installed and serviced ES Windows products across Fort Lauderdale since 2012, from the shaped gable units in Victoria Park to the custom curtain wall segments in Harbor Beach. Our technicians carry license numbers, not just business cards. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into the Haven Standard on every job, not offered as a courtesy.
Because we specify across eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - we can compare performance and price for your custom opening without steering you toward the brand that happens to be in stock. If ES Windows is the right specification, we say so. If another line fits the opening better, we say that too. Measure it right the first time or measure it twice on someone else’s dime.
Live phone coverage is available 24/7. Calls are answered by a person, not a queue.
FAQs
No. As an independent ES Windows service provider, we use OEM parts and documented installation methods that keep any remaining factory warranty intact. We do not perform work that would void coverage, and we flag any warranty limitations in your written scope before work starts. Call (754) 666-7478 if you have questions about your specific ES Windows warranty status.
Standard ES Windows geometric shapes typically ship in 4-6 weeks; complex custom fabrications or oversized units can run 8-12 weeks. We do not quote delivery dates we cannot verify with the factory. Your written quote includes the current lead time estimate and a clause for notification if it shifts. Call (754) 666-7478 for current ES Windows lead times.
Cracked glass in a geometric ES Windows unit always requires full lite replacement; the factory does not approve field repairs for shaped laminated glass, and we do not attempt them. We order the replacement from ES Windows with the exact template from our measured survey. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule a survey and written quote.
Yes. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections as part of the written scope. Fort Lauderdale Building Services requires permits for any window replacement that changes the opening size or the structural header, which is common in geometric conversions. The permit cost is listed as a line item in your quote. Call (754) 666-7478 for details on your specific project.
We inspect every ES Windows unit at delivery before it leaves our warehouse. If we find frame bow, glass delamination, or hardware misalignment, we reject the unit, photograph the defect against a straightedge or gauge, and reorder at no additional cost to you. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our installation; factory defects are handled through our ES Windows distributor with documentation we provide. Call (754) 666-7478 to discuss your project.
