ES Windows Construction in Lompico, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent ES Windows construction service throughout Lompico, CA, from full window replacement to targeted repairs on the 4000, 5000, and 8000 Series lines. What makes our work different here is that we stage materials at the bottom of Lompico’s steep private roads and shuttle loads up in smaller runs, because standard delivery trucks simply don’t make it up many of these driveways. We’ve been installing and servicing ES Windows products in the Santa Cruz Mountains for over a decade, so we know how these coastal-grade units hold up to Lompico’s storm-driven rain and summer wildfire conditions. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate on any ES Windows project in the 95005 ZIP code.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We’re not an authorized ES Windows dealer, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re an independent general contractor that has spent years repairing and replacing these specific windows on cabins, additions, and owner-built homes throughout the San Lorenzo Valley. That independence means we tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter call, without a manufacturer’s sales quota influencing the recommendation.
Our crews know the failure points on ES Windows 4000 Series aluminum frames, 8000 Series vinyl sashes, and 5000 Series wood-clad units because we’ve pulled them apart and put them back together on Lompico homes. We source OEM ES Windows replacement parts whenever the line is still supported, and for discontinued runs we use aftermarket equivalents that match or exceed the original spec. Noel Carvalho, who runs San Bruno Construction, trained in construction technology at Skyline College and has spent two-plus decades framing, permitting, and finishing residential work across the Bay Area and the Santa Cruz Mountains. He’s the one who walks your site before we quote, because window work on a Lompico hillside is never just window work.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Corroded aluminum frames on older ES 4000 Series windows. Winter storm-driven rain and persistent fog eat away at unsealed frames, especially on north-facing walls that never dry out. We see pitting and white corrosion blooms on the bottom rails first, which tells us moisture has been sitting there for years. Replacing the worst units and sealing the rest buys you time; ignoring it leads to the frame degrading to the point where the glass seal itself fails.
- Warped or cracked vinyl sashes on ES 8000 Series windows. Lompico’s swing between hot, dry summers and soaked winters causes repeated expansion and contraction cycles on vinyl. We regularly find sashes that have bowed just enough to let air and water slip past the weatherstripping. A small crack today becomes a full replacement tomorrow, especially when a winter atmospheric river pushes horizontal rain against the glass.
- Hidden rot in ES 5000 Series wood-clad windows. Hillside homes in Lompico often have inadequate gutters or roof runoff that saturates the lower sill and corner joints. The exterior cladding can look fine while the wood underneath turns soft. We catch this early when we inspect around the weep holes and bottom corners; if you wait until the window feels spongy, you’re usually replacing both the unit and the surrounding framing.
- Fogged glass from seal failure. Exposed ridgelines in Lompico get direct afternoon sun after cool, damp nights, and that thermal shock ages the insulated unit seals faster than any spec sheet predicts. Once the argon or krypton fill escapes and the glass fogs, the only real fix is a new IGU or a full sash replacement.
- Leaks that rot the rough opening before you notice anything inside. Lompico’s heavy winter rain finds every flashing detail that was installed slightly wrong. We’ve opened walls on cabins and found the header plate gone to rot, with the window still looking fine from inside. When we replace ES Windows units on hillside homes, we repair the surrounding framing and reflash the opening properly, not just swap the glass and call it done.
And on more than one Lompico job, the real problem started at the roofline. See our notes on ES Windows service in Ben Lomond for how we handle paired window and roof repairs across the San Lorenzo Valley.
ES Windows Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact that shapes nearly every General Contractor – Lompico ES Windows construction job we take: the private roads and driveways off Lompico Road are often too narrow, too soft, or too steep for a loaded window or material truck to reach the house. A standard delivery from a supplier loads a full pallet onto a flatbed and assumes the truck can back up to the garage. Up here, it can’t. So we stage ES Windows units and materials at the bottom of the hill, often on the pullout near the Lompico Road junction, and shuttle them up in smaller loads on a truck that can actually make the grade. It adds time to the job, yes. But it prevents a delivery driver from tearing up a soft roadbed, getting stuck, or dropping a $900 window on a hairpin turn. It also means your ES Windows arrive intact instead of rattled loose in their frames. We plan for this on every estimate, and we don’t pass through surprise freight surcharges once we see the driveway. The road conditions are just part of doing construction in Lompico, and a contractor who hasn’t worked here won’t know to plan for it. Good construction doesn’t announce itself – it just works, year after year.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work on the full ES Windows lineup you’re likely to find in Lompico homes: the 4000 Series aluminum windows, the 5000 Series wood-clad windows, the 8000 Series vinyl windows, and ES Windows patio doors of all vintages. For current production lines, we source OEM parts directly, which keeps fit and finish consistent with the original install. For older or discontinued ES Windows runs, we use aftermarket equivalents that meet or beat the original glass and hardware specs. We don’t keep a warehouse stocked with every ES Windows component on hand, nobody in the San Lorenzo Valley does. But we stage what we know each job needs during the material run, and we shuttle it up in the loads that the specific driveway can handle. If your project involves full replacements, we’ll pull precise measurements on the first visit and order exact sizes, so there’s no field-cutting compromise on a hillside install.

AfterES Windows Service Pricing in Lompico
ES Windows construction pricing in Lompico depends on three things: the scope (repair versus full replacement), the accessibility of your lot, and whether surrounding framing needs work. A roof leak that soaked into the wall behind a window always costs more than a glass-only swap, because we repair that framing before installing the new unit. Here are the baseline ranges we quote from:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Lompico
Yes, and it’s common. We stage ES Windows units and materials at the bottom of the hill and shuttle them up in smaller loads on a truck that can handle the grade. We plan for this on every Lompico estimate, so the quote you get already accounts for the staging runs. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll walk the driveway before we finalize anything.
Storm-driven moisture getting into the frame and the surrounding rough opening. On older ES 4000 Series aluminum units, that shows up as corrosion along the bottom rail. On wood-clad 5000 Series windows, it’s hidden rot at the sill corners. Lompico’s rain doesn’t just sit on the glass, it gets pushed into every seam by wind, and the damage spreads fast once it starts.
Yes. If a branch comes through a window or wind-driven rain blows out a seal during an atmospheric river, we can get a temporary cover on the opening and then schedule the permanent ES Windows repair or replacement. Call (866) 472-1908 as soon as it happens and we’ll coordinate the response.
The honest tells are fogged glass, frames that have visible rot or corrosion, and sashes that no longer seal against the weatherstripping. If the frame itself is sound, we repair. If the frame is failing, we replace with modern ES Windows or a comparable coastal-grade unit and reflash the opening properly. On a steep lot off Lompico Road, we replaced a run of fogged ES 4000 Series aluminum windows that had been leaking for years; the surrounding framing had rotted enough that full replacement and wall repair was the only sensible path. We’ve also handled ES Windows repair in Felton with similar framing issues.
They can be, but the specific model matters. Modern ES Windows impact-rated units with tempered glass and properly sealed frames perform far better under ember exposure than older single-pane aluminum units. Lompico’s wildfire risk means we also look at defensible space and exterior trim details when we’re planning any window replacement, not just the glass spec. Our ES Windows service in Bonny Doon page covers similar wildfire-zone considerations further down the coast.
