ES Windows Construction in San Martin, CA | Framework Contractors
We’re Framework Contractors, an independent ES Windows contractor serving San Martin, CA (95046), and we handle everything from full window replacement to complex remodeling that ties into your ES Windows openings. We’re not manufacturer-authorized or affiliated with ES Windows – that independence means our only loyalty is to getting your San Martin home built correctly. What makes our ES Windows work different here is that we understand how Santa Clara County’s unincorporated permit process, rural septic and well reviews, and agricultural zoning shape every project timeline before we ever order glass.

Why San Martin Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We’ve worked on ES Windows product lines across the southern Santa Clara Valley for years, and we know how their vinyl single-hungs, horizontal sliders, and aluminum architectural units hold up in San Martin’s specific conditions. Noel Carbajal, our owner, grew up learning construction hands-on – weekends patching stucco and reroofing porches with his uncle, followed by formal training in Construction Technology at Santiago Canyon College. He’s spent nearly three decades building and remodeling, and he tells every homeowner the same thing: “Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.”
That’s why San Martin homeowners call us. We know which ES Windows frame profiles warp under south-facing summer heat, which seal packages fail first in dusty, wet-winter cycling, and which rough openings on older ranch homes are likely hiding rot before we even pull the trim. We also know the county’s unincorporated permit path cold – and that knowledge keeps your project moving without surprises.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in San Martin
- Heat-warped vinyl sashes on south- and west-facing walls. San Martin summers bake exposed ES Windows vinyl frames until the sashes rack and the locks won’t catch. We see this constantly on ranch homes with long, unshaded wall runs. If the frame is still sound, we can reset and rebalance the sash. If the vinyl has permanently distorted, we’ll tell you straight that replacement beats repeated repair.
- Failed weatherstripping and glazing seals. The dry-summer, wet-winter cycle in San Martin pulls glazing seals apart over time. The telltale sign is fogged glass and fine dust collecting inside the track after winter storms. We match OEM glass and reseal where the frame is intact, and we’ll flag units past their seal life that are better off replaced.
- Rough-opening rot on older ranch homes. Older San Martin properties with stucco or siding meeting the window frame – especially on parcels with irrigation and wind exposure – often hide rot behind the trim. You won’t know it’s there until water stains appear on the interior drywall. We open the rough frame, assess the damage, and rebuild it properly before setting new ES Windows units.
- Hardware and sash-balance failure. Rollers, locks, and tilt latches on ES Windows sliders and single-hungs wear out from years of dry, dusty summers and wet winters. We replace balances, locks, and rollers with spec-equivalent parts when OEM lead times don’t make sense, and we keep common hardware on hand for faster San Martin turnaround.
- Out-of-square openings on older framing. Ranch homes from the 1960s and 70s settle, and window openings drift out of square. A new ES Windows unit won’t seal correctly if the rough opening isn’t corrected first. We check every opening before ordering glass, so the install isn’t fighting the house.
ES Windows Service in San Martin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most window pages miss: San Martin is unincorporated. That means a window replacement or remodel permit that would go through a Gilroy or Morgan Hill building department instead goes through Santa Clara County. And on rural parcels – which describes a lot of San Martin – the county often won’t issue a building permit until well, septic, and agricultural-exemption reviews clear first. That sequencing changes everything about scheduling. On a project off Llagas Road, our crew replaced a bank of sun-baked ES Windows vinyl sliders on a south-facing wall that had racked so badly the locks wouldn’t catch. Before we could even order new low-E units, the county needed the parcel’s septic and well documentation cleared. We re-flashed the rough openings and trimmed back overgrown vegetation while that paperwork moved, then set the new sashes, corrected the sills and drainage, and the homeowners finally had sliders that latched and sealed through the winter rains. That’s the San Martin reality – the window work itself is straightforward, but the permit path gates the schedule. We plan around it from day one.

ES Windows Models & Products We Service in San Martin
We install, repair, and replace across the ES Windows vinyl single-hung series for both new construction and replacement applications, vinyl horizontal sliders, and the aluminum series built for architectural and agricultural openings – the kind of wide spans you see on San Martin barns and shop buildings. We also handle fixed and picture units with tempered glass for large rural view walls. Our parts approach is simple: we use ES Windows OEM glass, sashes, and hardware when the frame is sound and lead times work, and we turn to spec-equivalent aftermarket balances, locks, rollers, and weatherstrip when OEM would leave you waiting or overspending. On rural homes where one failed window can drag a larger scope into play, we’ll tell you honestly whether resealing or reglazing makes sense or whether replacement is the smarter money.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in San Martin
Yes. Because San Martin is unincorporated, window and remodel permits are issued by Santa Clara County, not by Gilroy or Morgan Hill. We handle that county permit process as part of the job, including any rural parcel reviews that come with it. Call (844) 681-3590 if you want us to check your parcel’s specific requirements before you commit.
It depends on whether the vinyl frame has permanently distorted. If the sash can still be reset and rebalanced, repair is usually the right call and runs on the lower end of our pricing. If the frame has baked out of shape on a south- or west-facing San Martin wall, replacement is the honest answer, and it often costs less over three years than repeated service calls.
If your property sits near wildfire-prone foothill terrain, impact-rated ES Windows units with the right glass package can add real protection against ember intrusion and wind-driven debris. We’ll assess your parcel’s exposure and give you a straight recommendation – impact windows aren’t necessary for every San Martin home, but they’re worth an honest conversation in the right locations. Call (844) 681-3590 for a site visit.
Yes, and it’s often the smartest way to do it – one county permit application covering the ES Windows replacement and the kitchen remodel means one review cycle, one inspection schedule, and one contractor on the hook for the whole scope. We’ve done exactly this for San Martin homeowners replacing windows while gutting a kitchen, including full kitchen remodeling from $14,000 to $45,000, working as your General Contractor – San Martin.
That’s seal failure. San Martin’s hot, dry summers stress the glazing seals, and when winter rain and cold valley air hit, the compromised seal lets moisture condense between the panes and fine dust infiltrate the track. If the frame is still sound, we can match OEM glass and reseal. If the unit is past its seal life, replacement is the better long-term fix. Call (844) 681-3590 for an exact diagnosis and quote.
