ES Windows Construction in Aromas, CA | Framework Contractors
We provide independent ES Windows construction service across Aromas, CA – installation, retrofit, resealing, and repair of the aluminum-framed window and door systems found on ranch homes, ADUs, and sunroom additions throughout the 95004 ZIP. We also offer general contractor services in Aromas for larger projects. What makes our ES Windows work different here comes down to the three-county permitting reality: Aromas parcels fall under Monterey, San Benito, or Santa Cruz County, and each building department has its own energy-code paperwork and inspection sequence for glazing. We know which county governs your parcel and what it means for your window or door scope before we ever order parts. Call (844) 681-3590 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Aromas Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
ES Windows is primarily a commercial glazing and window/door systems manufacturer. Most homeowners in Aromas encounter these units as installer-supplied components in additions, ADUs, and remodels – not as a residential retail line. The original installer is often long gone by the time problems show up. That’s where we come in. Our crew has spent years measuring, retrofitting, and resealing ES units on 1950s through 1980s ranch homes, the dominant housing stock here in Aromas.
We’re an independent contractor. We are not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by ES Windows. What that means for you is straightforward: we fix what’s failing, we don’t upsell you on a full replacement when a reseal and re-glaze is the right call, and we source parts matched to your unit’s frame profile. Noel Carbajal, our owner, has spent the better part of three decades building and remodeling across California – he learned to read structural drawings and speak the language of framing, concrete, and finish work long before Framework Contractors ever opened its doors. He’d rather tell you the truth about your ES frame than sell you something you don’t need. Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Aromas
- Weathered perimeter seals on aluminum-framed ES units. Aromas summer heat cycling pushes aluminum frames to expand and contract, and winter rain drives water into the frame-to-stucco or frame-to-siding joint once the sealant fails. We remove the old sealant, re-flash the rough opening where needed, and reseal with products rated for our coastal-influenced valley climate.
- Condensation and thermal bridging in single-glazed or non-thermally-broken ES aluminum frames. Cool, wet Aromas winters make interior condensation a real problem on older units – and once it starts, finish damage follows. We replace degraded glazing, install thermal improvements where the frame allows, and fix the damage before it spreads to sills and drywall.
- Roller and track wear on ES sliding door and window systems. Decades of service on 1950s – 1980s ranch homes leaves rollers flattened and tracks scored. Hard operation isn’t just annoying; it leaks air and water. We pull the panels, replace the rollers, clean or replace the track, and get the assembly sliding right again.
- Gasket shrinkage and glazing bead deterioration on ES storefront-style assemblies. Sunrooms and enclosed patios in Aromas often use ES storefront or ribbon-window assemblies. When gaskets shrink and glazing beads crack, panels rattle and wind-driven rain finds a way in. We replace both, matched to the frame profile.
- Failed thermal breaks on older ES aluminum frames. Once the thermal break goes, the frame starts sweating and losing efficiency. We’ll tell you honestly: a frame that’s pitted, out of square, or has failed thermal breaks is better replaced than patched. A sound frame, though? We’ll reseal and re-glaze it and keep it in service.
ES Windows Service in Aromas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most contractors from Gilroy or Watsonville miss when they take an Aromas job. Because Aromas has no municipal building department, permit applicants must go through the county that covers their parcel – Monterey, San Benito, or Santa Cruz – and each has different fees, timelines, and inspection schedules. When your ES window or door scope is part of a home addition or ADU, that means the glazing paperwork, energy-code documentation, and inspection sequence all hinge on which county reviews your parcel. We’ve pulled permits in all three. We know that a San Benito County inspector may sequence the window inspection differently than a Monterey County inspector would.
On a ranch-style 1970s home off Carpenteria Road in Aromas, our crew reworked a failing ES aluminum sliding door and window wall in an enclosed sunroom. We pulled and replaced the worn rollers, installed new glazing bead and gaskets, re-flashed and resealed the perimeter joints ahead of the winter rains, and confirmed the rough-opening and flashing details passed the San Benito County inspector on the first visit. The homeowner got a weather-tight, smoothly operating assembly back in service instead of a full frame-out replacement. That’s what knowing the local rules gets you.
Winter rains here can saturate the clay soils and push water against foundation walls – which means window and door flashing details matter more, not less. Summer dry spells are ideal for exterior glazing work, so we schedule heavy exterior scopes for those months whenever the client’s timeline allows.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Aromas

AfterES Windows Service Pricing in Aromas
Pricing depends on the scope: resealing a few frames is a different job than replacing a window wall, and both are different from a full home addition that includes ES glazing. Here are the price ranges we work within:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Home Addition (including glazing scope) | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What drives the cost: the number of openings, how much demolition and re-flashing is required, whether you need impact-rated units, and which Aromas county inspector has jurisdiction over your parcel. A free estimate includes a written line-item quote. No change orders unless you change the scope. Call (844) 681-3590 to schedule yours.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Aromas
Yes. We handle ES glazing scopes for additions, ADUs, and detached structures across Aromas – and we pull the permits from whichever county governs your parcel, whether that’s Monterey, San Benito, or Santa Cruz. Each county has its own energy-code documentation and inspection sequence for glazing, and we’ve worked with all three. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll verify which building department covers your lot before anything else happens.
No. Framework Contractors is an independent contractor. We are not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by ES Windows. We service ES units because so many Aromas homes have them – not because the manufacturer sends us work. That independence means we recommend the repair that makes sense for your home, not the one a manufacturer program tells us to push.
We source OEM-equivalent gaskets, glazing beads, rollers, and weatherstripping matched to your ES unit’s frame profile where available. When factory parts are discontinued – and on older units, that happens – we spec quality aftermarket hardware and tell you upfront what we’re using and why. You always know what’s going into your home.
Most reseal and re-glaze jobs on a few openings finish in one to two days. Sliding door roller replacements are usually a single day. Full window replacement scopes and home additions with ES glazing run longer, and the county inspection schedule on your Aromas parcel can add a few days to a week depending on which county has jurisdiction. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job.
Repair work like resealing and roller replacement is typically well under the cost of full replacement – often a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Full window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000, impact-rated units run $8,000 to $25,000, and a home addition that includes ES glazing starts around $45,000. Your exact number depends on scope, openings, and your specific Aromas parcel’s permitting path. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free line-item estimate.
