ES Windows Construction in Fullerton, CA | Stallion Contractors
We provide independent ES Windows construction service across Fullerton, CA, from the downtown historic core to the tracts climbing toward the Coyote Hills. What makes our ES Windows work here different is that we know the two Fullertons: the one with preservation review and the one with mid-century stucco that hides water damage. We install, repair, and replace ES Windows units, and we know where they fail in this city’s inland heat and Santa Ana wind cycles. Call us at (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate.
Why Fullerton Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Fullerton’s housing stock runs from early-1900s Craftsman bungalows near the Fox Theatre to post-war tracts across 92833 and 92835. That means the ES Windows units we see range from original aluminum single-hungs in mid-century homes to newer vinyl double-hungs that were installed without proper flashing. Ruben Montoya, our owner, has spent more than two decades working on Southern California homes, and he’s the first to say that window problems are usually wall problems in disguise. We handle ES Windows-specific flashing, anchoring, and glazing swaps without ever claiming manufacturer authorization. One contractor. Every trade.
We stock OEM ES Windows replacement sashes, balances, and glazing for the model lines common in Fullerton, and we specify aftermarket weatherstripping and flashing when an obsolete aluminum line needs it. ES Windows sales & service is a core part of what we do, but we’re a full-scope general contractor, which means when a window job opens up a wall and we find rotted framing or bad wiring, we fix it under the same contract. That’s the difference between a window installer and a construction company.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Fullerton
- Aluminum frame pitting and corrosion in mid-century stucco tracts. ES Windows 1500 Series aluminum frames corrode where stucco was installed tight against the jamb with no drainage plane. We see this constantly in the 92831 and 92833 areas, where 1950s and 1960s homes have original units. Water wicks behind the jamb and sits there. The fix is removing the unit, rebuilding the opening with a drainage plane, and reinstalling with proper flashing.
- Vinyl sash and weatherstripping shrinkage from inland heat. On south-facing and west-facing walls, ES Windows vinyl sashes bake in Fullerton’s summer heat and dry out. Weatherstripping shrinks, the sash gets hard to operate, and drafts show up in winter. This is a heat-cycling failure, not a manufacturing defect, and it’s repairable with new OEM balances and fresh weatherstripping in most cases.
- Rotted rough sills on downtown bungalows from Santa Ana-driven rain. Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes near Downtown Fullerton often have ES Windows units set with minimal flashing. When a Santa Ana event pushes rain sideways, water finds those gaps and rots the rough sill behind the stucco. You won’t see it until the window is pulled. We rebuild the opening and install the replacement with self-adhered membrane and proper sill flashing.
- Degraded aluminum screens and plastic vent clips in north Fullerton. The hillside and canyon-edge edges of north Fullerton sit in higher fire-severity zones. Older ES Windows aluminum screens and plastic vent clips degrade faster under UV and ember exposure up there, which compromises the ignition-resistant envelope. We replace these with fire-rated vent detailing where Chapter 7A requirements apply.
- Hard-operation sashes on unmaintained rentals and deferred-maintenance homes. Fullerton has plenty of older rental stock and homes where window maintenance was skipped for a decade or more. Balances wear out, sashes bind, and locks stop aligning. If the frame is sound, this is a parts repair. If the wall opening is compromised, we recommend full replacement with proper water management.
ES Windows Service in Fullerton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact about Fullerton that changes how window work gets done here, and it’s not true in Anaheim or Brea. Fullerton’s historic-preservation review covers exterior changes visible from the public right-of-way in the Downtown Fullerton Historic District, which means an ES Windows replacement on a contributing building near the Fox Theatre block or Villa del Sol can require a Certificate of Appropriateness before a permit is issued. Identical window work in a flatland tract in 92833 doesn’t trigger that review. We know how to navigate the process: like-for-like profiles, matching sightlines, and detailing that keeps the preservation officer happy. Our experience with ES Windows product lines makes those conversations faster, because we can specify what works within the historic constraints without sacrificing performance.
On a 1920s Spanish Colonial bungalow near the Fox Theatre block, we found original ES Windows wood double-hungs with rotted sills and no flashing behind the stucco. After historic review approved like-for-like profiles, we rebuilt the rough openings with self-adhered membrane and installed ES Windows 8000 Series vinyl units with integral nailing fins. The owner kept the downtown look and passed inspection without a hitch.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Fullerton
We service the ES Windows 1500 Series Aluminum Single-Hung, the ES Windows 8000 Series Vinyl Double-Hung, and the ES Windows 3000 Series Vinyl Sliding Glass Door. For aluminum lines, we source OEM replacement sashes and glazing when the frame is sound; for obsolete parts, we specify aftermarket weatherstripping and flashing that meet or exceed original performance. Our repair-versus-replace stance is simple: if corrosion or frame damage is isolated, we repair. If the wall opening itself is compromised, we recommend full replacement with proper water management. Pro-grade materials, professionally installed.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Fullerton
Yes, if your home contributes to the district and the window change is visible from the public right-of-way, you’ll need a Certificate of Appropriateness before a permit is issued. We handle that paperwork and specify ES Windows profiles that meet the review requirements. Call (855) 600-3192 to talk through your specific block.
In Fullerton’s mid-century tracts, stucco was often installed tight against the window jamb with no drainage plane, trapping water behind the frame. It’s a wall-detail failure, not a product failure. We rebuild the opening with proper flashing and drainage. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free assessment.
Yes, when installed correctly. Vinyl sashes hold up if the wall opening has proper flashing and the weatherstripping is maintained. What kills them is heat cycling on south and west walls combined with poor original installation. We install with full water management so the units perform for decades.
North Fullerton properties in higher fire-severity zones hit Chapter 7A ignition-resistant requirements: fire-rated vent detailing, specific glazing, and ember-resistant screen assemblies. Flatland jobs never see these. We specify ES Windows units and ancillary detailing that pass the fire marshal’s review.
Most single-unit replacements in Fullerton take one to two days, assuming the rough opening is sound. If we find rotted sills or need historic review, add time for drywall, stucco, and inspections. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start. Call (855) 600-3192 for an estimate on your specific project.
