How ECO Window Systems Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
Roof windows and skylights take more weather than any other unit in the house, and in Fort Lauderdale that weather includes salt air, hurricane season, and a sun angle that never lets up. Here is what we actually see on ECO Window Systems jobs in this area, and what we do about it.
- Condensation between the panes on older ECO roof windows. The seal assembly on roof-mounted units fails faster than vertical windows because the glazing bakes in direct Florida sun. We replace the insulated glass unit and rebuild the gasket channel rather than smearing caulk over a failed seal. Caulk is a bandage, not a repair.
- Sticking or binding operation on hinged roof windows. Aluminum and steel hardware corrodes quickly in salt air, especially in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods east of US-1. ECO Window Systems hardware is generally well made, but no hinge loves ocean air. We replace worn operators, lubricate with marine-grade product, and correct any sash misalignment before it wears the gear teeth down.
- Roof leak around the flashing, not through the glass. We find this on ECO Window Systems skylights that were installed before current Fort Lauderdale code updates. The flashing detail at the roof line was often under-specified for our rainfall. We remove the old flashing, inspect the decking, install proper step flashing and a new curb seal, and re-set the unit so water sheds away from the opening.
- Frame rot on curb-mounted units. On homes near the Intracoastal or along the New River, we see rot forming where the curb meets the deck when the original flashing failed years before anyone noticed. We replace the curb, treat the surrounding sheathing, and re-install the ECO Window Systems unit with a new weatherproofing sequence that meets current code.
- Hail or storm damage to glass and cladding from summer squalls. Fort Lauderdale gets sudden, violent storms that can crack a skylight or dent the cladding. We inspect the entire roof-window system, not just the broken pane, because a split gasket or shifted flashing can cause a leak six months after the glass is replaced.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Here is how a typical ECO Window Systems roof replacement job goes when we are on it.
- 1
Call and assessment. You call (754) 310-3589 and speak with a live person who knows roof windows. We ask about the symptoms, the age of the unit, and where the house sits in Fort Lauderdale. Then we schedule a site visit.
- 2
On-site inspection. We inspect the ECO Window Systems unit from the roof and the interior. Dale Kessler reads the existing framing before quoting anything. That habit has kept our callbacks rare for years.
- 3
Parts decision on paper. We lay out your options: OEM ECO Window Systems parts where warranty coverage matters, and quality aftermarket alternatives when they make more sense for an older unit. We quote both side by side so you see exactly what you are buying.
- 4
Replacement and installation. Background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work. We measure every opening twice, set the new unit true, and flash it correctly for Fort Lauderdale weather. No shortcuts on the curb, no half-done flashing.
- 5
Warranty registration before we leave. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and we do not make exceptions.
- 6
Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right within 90 days. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
What ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Roof window work is not a place to guess. Here are the ranges we typically see for ECO Window Systems jobs in Fort Lauderdale.
- Glass-only replacement (seal failure, intact frame): $450 to $900 per unit, depending on size and glazing type.
- Full skylight replacement with new flashing: $1,200 to $2,800 per opening, including curb repair where needed.
- Complete roof window unit replacement with interior trim: $1,800 to $4,200 per unit, depending on access, framing condition, and finish work.
What moves the price: whether we are replacing glass only or the whole frame, the roof pitch and access, the condition of the existing curb and decking, and whether the home is east of US-1 where salt exposure has done more work. We give you a written line-item quote before any work begins. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule your free estimate, and we will put the numbers in front of you in plain English.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ECO Window Systems Work
We have been serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding communities for over 42 years through a heritage of craft, and Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties treated as normal. Every ECO Window Systems job we take is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves, durations stated, no arguing. When parts for an ECO Window Systems unit are backordered or discontinued, we can often source a solution through our other authorized manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, because we are set up to quote side by side. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
FAQs
Yes. We match the rough opening and re-flash the curb to fit a current unit, whether from ECO Window Systems or another manufacturer line we carry, like PGT or ES Windows. Call (754) 310-3589 and we will tell you what fits before you spend a dollar.
Not when it is done correctly. An independent ECO Window Systems service provider is allowed to perform replacement work, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. If the original warranty is still active, we will protect it. If it has lapsed, we will tell you plainly.
Most single-unit roof window replacements are completed in one visit, usually four to six hours depending on roof access and the condition of the existing flashing. We will tell you the window of time before we start, and we will be there when we say.
We repair what can be repaired and replace what cannot. If your unit is under 15 years old and the frame is sound, a glass replacement or hardware rebuild often makes more sense than a full swap. If the curb is rotted or the frame is out of true, we will recommend replacement and show you the numbers for both paths.
