ES Windows Construction in Irvine, CA | Mason Remodeling
We provide independent ES Windows service across Irvine, from window and sliding door repair to full unit replacement and the roof work that often goes with it, as an Irvine General Contractor. We’re not an authorized ES Windows dealer or manufacturer affiliate. What we are is an Orange County crew that works on these aluminum and vinyl units every week, and we know which Irvine neighborhoods still carry original 1970s and 1980s ES Windows frames that need profile-matched replacements. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
Why Irvine Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Most window contractors in Irvine can swap a window. Few can tell you why the ES Windows sliders on your west-facing wall keep pitting while the east side looks fine, or whether your HOA will flag a replacement for profile mismatch. That’s the difference. Our crews know ES Windows extrusion profiles, glazing gaskets, and roller hardware well enough to diagnose a frame, glass, or seal failure without calling the manufacturer and waiting on a callback.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in the Sylmar end of the San Fernando Valley watching his dad, a finish carpenter, catch sloppy trim work from across a room. He brought that habit to Mason Remodeling: check the details first, then talk price. We’ve been serving Southern California since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and our technicians arrive in clean uniforms with photo ID badges, their names and photos sent to you before they ever ring the bell. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it applies to every visit in Irvine.
We stock common ES Windows replacement rollers, glazing gaskets, and weatherstrip locally so most Irvine repairs don’t wait on parts shipped from a distribution center two states away.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Irvine
- Aluminum frame pitting and corrosion on west-facing sliders. The marine layer that rolls into Irvine from the coast sits on west-facing elevations longer than anywhere else on the house. ES Windows aluminum frames hold up well generally, but years of coastal moisture combined with irrigation overspray can leave pitting that eventually compromises the sill. We see this most often in homes along the 405 corridor where fog lingers into late morning.
- Fogged dual-pane glass from failed IGU seals. Condensation between the panes is not a surface cleaning issue. It’s the inert gas escaping and moisture getting in, which means the insulating glass unit seal has failed. In older Irvine Ranch-era homes with original ES Windows dual-pane units, this shows up as haze you can’t wipe off either side.
- Roller and track wear on sliding glass doors. ES Windows sliding doors in high-use openings, like the one between the kitchen and backyard patio, start binding and dragging after 8 to 12 years of daily use. The rollers flatten, the track gets scored, and eventually the door won’t lock because it won’t seat properly.
- Perimeter sealant shrinkage and sill leaks during winter storms. Irvine’s dry Santa Ana wind events and summer UV break down exterior sealant faster than most homeowners expect. When the sealant shrinks away from the frame, wind-driven winter rain finds its way in at the sill. We replace the sealant and reset the flashing where needed.
- HOA-driven replacement constraints on original aluminum frames. Homes in Woodbridge and other Irvine villages built in the 1970s and 1980s often still have their original ES Windows aluminum units. When those fail, the HOA’s architectural review process typically requires replacements to match the approved profile and finish. We know which ES Windows replacement lines fit that requirement and which ones will get rejected.
ES Windows Service in Irvine: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Irvine’s Village of Woodbridge and other planned communities built in the 1970s and 1980s still carry their original aluminum-framed ES Windows units, and HOA architectural review often requires replacement windows to match approved profile and finish-something we handle as part of our Bathroom Remodeling - Irvine and full-home renovation services. That’s not true in most neighboring cities, and it changes what we can actually install. A homeowner in Santa Ana or Tustin can swap in nearly any window that meets code. An Irvine homeowner in Woodbridge or University Park may need a specific ES Windows profile to clear HOA review, and we plan for that from the first measurement. In the Woodbridge neighborhood, our crew replaced a pair of fogged ES Windows aluminum dual-pane sliders in a 1980s two-story home where the IGU seals had failed and the tracks were pitted from marine-layer corrosion. We reset the openings, installed new ES-profile sliding units with fresh rollers and gaskets, and sealed the sills against the Santa Ana wind-driven rain that had been staining the interior drywall. That’s the kind of job generic window companies get wrong half the time because they never ask about the HOA until it’s too late.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Irvine
Our crews work on the ES Windows lines most common in Irvine. That includes Series 5000 aluminum sliding glass doors, Series 2600 and 2700 aluminum single-hung and horizontal sliding windows, the vinyl single-hung and slider lines used in Irvine Village tract homes, and the multi-slide and fixed picture window units found in newer Great Park builds. We source OEM ES Windows replacement rollers, glazing gaskets, and weatherstrip when the profile is still in production, and we use quality aftermarket hardware and glass when OEM is discontinued. When frames are structurally sound, we replace glass and hardware. When webbing, pitting, or repeated seal failure shows up, we recommend full unit replacement rather than chasing a repair that won’t hold.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Irvine
If the frame is straight and free of pitting or webbing, we can replace just the insulated glass unit and seals. If the frame shows corrosion or has already been resealed once, a full unit replacement usually costs less over time than repeated glass swaps on a failing frame. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll assess it in person.
Partially. Irvine’s combination of coastal humidity, Santa Ana wind-driven rain, and intense summer UV shortens the life of IGU seals compared to inland cities. Fogging between panes is the telltale sign of seal failure, and it means the glass unit needs replacement regardless of where you live. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free quote.
Yes, especially in the older villages like Woodbridge, University Park, and Turtle Rock. Many HOAs require replacement windows to match the approved profile and finish, which limits which ES Windows lines we can install. We factor HOA requirements into the estimate from the start, so you don’t buy windows twice.
If the door drags or binds but the frame and glass are intact, new rollers and a track cleaning usually fix it for under $200 in parts and labor. If the track is scored, the frame is pitted, or the glass has failed, replacement is the better call. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you honestly which one applies.
Yes. Many window leaks in Irvine are actually roof flashing failures, and many roof repairs expose window seal damage. We handle both so one crew owns the whole opening and there’s no finger-pointing between trades. Get a written price for the whole job by calling (803) 680-2547.
