ES Windows Construction in Pomona, CA | Polaris Contractors
Polaris Contractors provides independent ES Windows in La Verne and across Pomona, from the pre-1960s bungalow core in 91766 and 91767 to the newer tract housing on the south and west edges. We are not an ES Windows dealer or authorized service center, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a full-scope general contractor with years of hands-on experience diagnosing and repairing ES Windows failures specific to Pomona’s climate, soil, and housing stock, and we stock OEM-compatible parts so most repairs happen faster than a full replacement would.
If your ES Windows are sticking, leaking, or rattling, call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate.
Key Takeaways
- Independent service, not authorized. Honest repair-vs-replace calls based on what the frame actually needs.
- Pomona-specific experience. We know how expansive clay soil and Santa Ana winds stress ES Windows frames across the older core.
- OEM parts stocked locally. Sashes, balances, rollers, and weatherstripping for Series 2000, 3000, 4000, and 6000.
- Free estimates. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll come out and tell you what needs doing.

Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
We’ve spent the better part of three decades working on Pomona homes, and a good portion of that time has involved ES Windows products. Rick Sondermann grew up in Corona del Mar and learned construction fundamentals at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo before spending years building and renovating along the Newport Beach coastline. What that taught him, and what our crew applies every day in Pomona, is that window and door failures are rarely isolated. They’re connected to the framing, the soil, the drainage, and the local weather patterns. That’s the full-scope lens we bring to every ES Windows job.
ES Windows sales & service is something we approach as a general contractor would, not as a parts-swapper. We diagnose the whole opening. We check the rough framing. We look at how the window sits in the wall. We ask what the soil has been doing. That’s why Pomona homeowners call us when their ES Windows act up; they want someone who solves the problem, not someone who replaces a part and hopes for the best.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Aluminum sill corrosion on Series 2000 single-hungs. Years of wind-driven dust and summer heat eat away at the aluminum at the sill, especially on Pomona’s older bungalows and Craftsman homes. We see pitting and white corrosion that eventually lets water bleed into the wall cavity. Our fix usually starts with sill refinishing and new weatherstripping; if the frame is corroded through, we’ll tell you straight.
- Vinyl double-hung sashes that warp and bind. This one is almost always a soil story. Pre-1960s Pomona homes sit on expansive clay that swells with winter rain and shrinks through summer drought. The rough opening goes out of square, and the Series 4000 vinyl sash binds against the frame. We re-shim, adjust, and often replace the balances with OEM parts to restore smooth operation.
- Sliding glass door tracks packed with Santa Ana grit. When the wind blows down from the San Gabriels, it carries fine dust and sand that packs into Series 6000 slider tracks. Rollers grind, the door gets hard to slide, and eventually the roller wheels fail. We clear the tracks, replace the rollers, and adjust the door so it moves easily again.
- Dried and cracked weatherstripping on awning and casement units. Series 3000 awning and casement windows rely on factory weatherstripping to seal out drafts and dust. After several hot, dry Pomona summers, that weatherstripping shrinks and cracks. The result is a rattling window that leaks air and lets dust settle on your interior sills. We replace the weatherstripping with OEM or quality aftermarket equivalent and re-align the sash for a tight close.
- Windows that won’t latch after years of foundation movement. On many older Pomona lots, the cracking and settling homeowners notice traces back to expansive clay soil. When the wall framing shifts, the window latch and strike plate no longer line up. We re-square the opening, adjust hardware, and often add low-expansion foam around the frame to lock the window in place thermally and structurally.
ES Windows Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pomona sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains where the Inland Empire’s Santa Ana winds funnel down, and much of the older core, especially the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs, was built before 1960 on clay-heavy soil with shallow foundations and original plaster walls. That combination means window rough openings in these homes routinely drift out of square as the ground expands and contracts through drought-and-rain cycles. For ES Windows owners, this shows up as binding double-hungs, latches that won’t catch, and frames that develop hairline gaps at the corners. Newer tract homes on the south and west edges of Pomona rarely see this because they sit on more compacted, engineered fill. But in the older grid, every Los Serranos ES Windows service call we run starts with the assumption that the opening may no longer be square, and we plan the repair accordingly. That’s a local distinction you won’t find on a generic ES Windows service page.
On a 1920s Craftsman bungalow off Lincoln Avenue in the 91767 ZIP, our crew found ES Windows Series 2000 single-hungs that wouldn’t latch because the clay soil had shifted the wall framing. We re-squared the openings, installed new OEM sash balances and weatherstripping, and added low-expansion foam around the frames. The windows now close smoothly, and the homeowner avoided a full replacement.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We work on the full ES Windows residential line that appears most often in Pomona’s housing stock: the Series 2000 Aluminum Single-Hung, Series 4000 Vinyl Double-Hung, Series 6000 Sliding Glass Door, and Series 3000 Awning/Casement units. Our approach to parts is straightforward. We use OEM ES Windows sashes, balances, rollers, and weatherstripping whenever they’re available, because preserving fit and finish matters on a window that has to seal against Santa Ana dust. When a line is discontinued, we move to quality aftermarket equivalents that match the original tolerances. We keep common ES-specific parts on hand for the Pomona area so most repairs don’t wait on a shipping lead time.

FAQs – ES Windows Construction in Pomona
In most Pomona homes, we can repair pits and minor sill corrosion with aluminum refinishing, new weatherstripping, and proper sealing. Replacement is only the better call when the frame is corroded through or the thermal break has failed. We’ll make that call with you, not for you. Call (855) 473-6535 for an exact diagnosis and free estimate.
Your rough opening has likely gone out of square. Older Pomona homes, especially those built before the 1960s on expansive clay, shift seasonally as the soil expands and contracts. That movement transfers through the framing and pinches the window. We re-shim the opening, adjust or replace the sash balances, and the window operates smoothly again.
Yes. After a Santa Ana event, fine grit has usually packed into the Series 6000 track. If you leave it, the rollers grind through the grit and fail. We recommend clearing the track after every major wind event and having the rollers inspected annually. If your door already sticks or grinds, call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll get it sliding properly.
Yes. We are an independent contractor, not an ES Windows authorized dealer. We install and service ES Windows products because our Pomona customers ask for them and because we know the product lines well. We install to the manufacturer’s specification and to our own, which is how we handle every brand we work with. The warranty on the window comes from ES Windows; the labor warranty comes from us.
That’s almost always dried-out weatherstripping. The factory seal on Series 3000 awning and casement units hardens and cracks after several hot, dry Pomona summers. We replace the weatherstripping with OEM or a quality equivalent and re-align the sash so it closes tight against the frame. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate on the repair.
