ES Windows Construction in Claremont, CA | Framework Contractors
We provide independent ES Windows construction, replacement, and repair across Claremont. The one thing that makes this work different here: Claremont’s design review process. Window work on older homes near the Village often has to clear historic preservation review before a permit issues, so you need a contractor who understands both ES Windows systems and the city’s preservation rules. We’re that team. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate.
Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We have installed and serviced ES Windows aluminum and vinyl window and door systems across the Pomona Valley for years, including Montclair, and the tricky retrofit work older Claremont homes demand. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by ES Windows, so our loyalty is to getting the fit, flashing, and finish right on your house. No brand rep looking over our shoulder. Just the work.
Noel Carbajal, our owner at Framework Contractors, grew up learning construction the hands-on way, patching stucco and reroofing porches with his uncle before he could drive. He spent three decades building and remodeling across Southern California, and he still approaches every Claremont window job the same way: measure twice, flash correctly, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. His signature line applies to window work as much as anything else: “Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.”
Our ES Windows sales & service work covers the full scope: replacement, repair, impact installation, and new construction for additions. We stock OEM-compatible rollers, sweeps, and hardware locally so Claremont homeowners aren’t waiting on a shipment from Florida when a slider stops latching. And we know which retrofit details the city will actually look at during inspection.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Claremont
Here’s what we see most often on ES Windows units in this city:
- Bowed and sticking vinyl sashes. Claremont’s hot inland summers and direct afternoon sun off the San Gabriels are hard on vinyl frames. ES Windows Series 4000 single-hungs and sliders can bow just enough that sashes drag and no longer latch flush. Sometimes we can re-square the opening and replace rollers. Other times the frame itself is done.
- Failed weatherstripping and sweeps on sliding patio doors. Santa Ana wind events push dust and rain through worn seals. On homes in the foothill-adjacent streets of Claremont, those gaps also break the fire-season sealing that matters when wind shifts. We replace sweeps and weatherstripping with ES Windows OEM parts when available.
- Clogged weep systems on aluminum frames. Claremont’s heritage oaks and sycamores drop a lot of debris. ES Windows Series 2500 aluminum sliders and picture windows with factory finishes that chalk are also prone to weep blockage. Water backs up into the sill and eventually the wall. We clear the weeps, restore drainage, and re-seal.
- Loose glazing beads and rattling hardware. Foothill wind gusts shake windows more than people realize. Factory-installed glazing beads and screws work loose on units facing the San Gabriel foothills. The result is air infiltration and sashes that rattle every time the wind picks up.
- Fogged glass on older ES Windows units. Failed seals show up as fog between panes. In Claremont’s older housing stock, where original units were often installed decades ago, fogged glass usually means it’s time to look at a full replacement rather than chasing individual panes.
ES Windows Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Claremont enforces a historic preservation ordinance with design review on older neighborhoods, and that shapes ES Windows work here more than in any neighboring city in the Pomona Valley. Window work on Village-adjacent Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes often has to clear design review and match original profiles before a permit issues. That review step, not just code, is what separates a Claremont ES Windows job from the same job in Pomona or La Verne.
Take the 1920s Craftsman homes near the Claremont Colleges periphery. We replaced a set of fogged, stuck ES Windows vinyl sliders on one of those recently. The rear units faced the afternoon sun off the foothills and had bowed enough to drag, so we re-squared the openings, upgraded the rollers and sweeps, and sealed the sills against wind-driven rain. The homeowner got operable, latching windows back without disturbing the original trim the design review cared about. That’s the balance: modern window performance inside a historic envelope. It takes a contractor who knows both.
Claremont’s tree canopy adds another layer. Heritage oaks and sycamores shade the older streets, but roots run close to foundations and overhead limbs complicate window access. On older Claremont properties, pruning or work near protected trees can need city sign-off. We plan for that before we ever set a ladder.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Claremont
We work on the ES Windows lines most common in Claremont’s housing stock:
- ES Windows Series 4000 vinyl single-hung and sliding windows. The workhorse for mid-century ranch homes and 1950s – 60s builds.
- ES Windows Series 2500 aluminum slider and fixed picture windows. Common on custom infill and remodel projects.
- ES Windows vinyl patio sliding doors and French-style hinged doors. These take the most weather abuse in Claremont.
We use ES Windows OEM replacement sashes, rollers, sweeps, and hardware whenever they’re available so the profile and fit stay true. We turn to quality aftermarket parts only when a factory part is discontinued. On older units, we’ll repair rollers, weatherstripping, and glazing before recommending full replacement. Replacement makes sense when frames are bowed, glass is fogged, or the wall opening needs re-flashing anyway.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Claremont
Yes, if your home sits in one of Claremont’s designated historic districts or is subject to the city’s preservation ordinance, window replacement often has to clear design review before a permit issues. The city wants original profiles and character preserved. We handle the paperwork and know what the review board looks for. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll tell you what applies to your property.
It can often be fixed. Bowed tracks, worn rollers, and heat-expanded frames are repairable when the frame itself hasn’t warped permanently. We’ll re-square the opening, replace rollers and sweeps with OEM parts, and test the latching. If the frame is bowed beyond that, replacement is the honest call. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll assess it on site.
Protected oaks and sycamores create two problems: roots that heave foundations and shift rough openings, and overhead limbs that block ladder and scaffolding access. On older Claremont properties, work near protected trees can need city sign-off. We check for that before installation day. It’s one of the reasons we plan Claremont projects differently.
For homes in the wildland-urban interface near the San Gabriel foothills, impact-rated windows and doors are the better choice. They hold against wind-driven debris and improve fire-season sealing. Claremont’s wind events and proximity to the foothills make impact ratings practical, not just a coastal concern. Call (844) 681-3590 for a quote on impact-rated ES Windows units.
Yes. When we build additions or convert garages in Claremont as your general contractor, we match the new ES Windows units to the existing profile, frame color, and glass. That’s standard practice for us, not an upcharge. It keeps the house looking like one building, which the design review board appreciates too.
