ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation in Hollywood: What to Know First
ECO Window Systems roof replacement and installation in Hollywood runs between $800 and $2,600 for most residential homes, depending on roof line length, frame condition, and whether you’re replacing glass only or the entire unit. We’re an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we answer to you and the work, not a manufacturer’s sales quota. Most jobs are completed in one visit. If you’re in Hollywood and need a straight answer on what your roof system actually needs, call (863) 334-2933.
This page is written for homeowners who own ECO Window Systems roof glass, skylights, or roof windows and want them replaced or installed correctly. Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood resealing jalousie frames against Atlantic weather, and the lessons from that work apply to every roof opening we touch.
Key Takeaways
- We service all ECO Window Systems roof products as an independent provider, never steering you toward a brand we carry a quota for.
- Roof work in Hollywood fails differently than wall work. Salt air, summer downpours, and UV exposure stress seals and flashing faster than any brochure admits.
- Most ECO roof replacements are done in one visit, but we won’t rush a leak diagnosis to stay on schedule.
- You’ll get a line-item quote on paper before any work starts. No surprises, no change orders, no fine print that covers neither party.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Roof glazing lives a harder life than wall glazing. Water sits on it, sun pounds it, and thermal expansion works against every seal. Here’s what we see on ECO Window Systems products in Hollywood specifically:
- Flashing separation on sloped roof units. The metal flashing around ECO roof windows expands and contracts at a different rate than the tile or shingle surrounding it. After a few Hollywood summers, the flashing lifts just enough for afternoon downpours to find their way in. The leak shows up on the ceiling well away from the actual roof window, which is why the first contractor often misses it. We remove, inspect, and reseat the flashing with proper sealant rather than caulking over the problem.
- Condensation between panes that never burns off. When the desiccant strip inside a sealed ECO unit saturates, the window is done. No amount of cleaning or defogging fixes it. This matters on roof glass more than wall glass because the sun hits it at the worst angle for thermal stress. We replace the IG unit, not the entire frame, when the frame is still square and the flashing is intact.
- Torque-sprung operators on venting roof units. The crank mechanisms on operable ECO roof windows wear out long before the glass does. We see stripped gears and stretched linkages, especially on units that get opened daily against coastal wind. The OEM replacement operator is the right call here; aftermarket versions bind within a year. We stock or can source factory parts for most ECO lines.
- Frame corner separation on older installations. On ECO roof windows over about fifteen years old, the corner welds on the frame can start to pull apart, opening a hairline gap that wicks water. This is a known weak point on certain fixed skylight lines. The honest fix depends on how far the separation has gone: if the frame is still structurally sound, we can disassemble, clean, and re-secure the corners; if it’s too far gone, replacement is cheaper than repeated patchwork.
- Improperly sealed curb-mounted units. Deck-mounted roof windows sit directly on the roof plane; curb-mounted ones sit on a raised frame. We regularly see curb-mounted installs in Hollywood where the original installer skipped the thermal break or used the wrong sealant. The result is a slow leak that starts two or three years in. We rebuild the curb correctly with the right separation layer, then set the unit square and true.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every job follows the same discipline, whether it’s a simple glass swap or a full roof window replacement:
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers at (863) 334-2933, day or night. We’ll ask about the age of the unit, where the leak shows up, and whether you’ve had anyone else look at it. That conversation sets the plan.
- 2
On-site inspection. We measure the rough opening, check the flashing, and test the existing seals. We measure every opening twice. Dale won’t quote a price until we’ve put a tape on it.
- 3
Written line-item quote. You get the numbers on paper before we touch anything. If the frame is salvageable, we say so. If it’s cooked, we tell you that too.
- 4
Parts sourcing. For ECO units, we pull OEM parts where they matter most: operators, flashing kits, and seals. For insulated glass, we spec a replacement unit that matches the original’s solar performance, so you don’t end up with a hot spot that bakes the room below.
- 5
Removal and installation. We protect the roof deck, remove the failed unit, and reset the new one square and level. Flashing gets replaced, not reused. The seal is tooled, not smeared.
- 6
Leak test and documentation. We water-test before we leave, register any warranty layers in writing, and walk you through what was done and why. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.
What ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Hollywood
Here’s an honest look at the numbers, based on what we’ve actually billed in Hollywood:
- Flat glass roof panel replacement (fixed skylight): $800-$1,200 for standard sizes, including seal and flashing touch-up.
- Venting roof window replacement: $1,400-$2,200 depending on the operator assembly and whether the curb needs rebuilding.
- Full deck-mounted roof window replacement with new flashing: $1,800-$2,600 including labor, materials, and disposal.
- Frame-only repair (corner separation or curb rebuild, glass reused): $500-$900, but only if the existing glazing is still in good shape.
What moves the price: roof pitch, number of stories, whether the unit is curb-mounted or deck-mounted, and whether the flashing is integrated into tile or a simpler shingle lap. Steep roofs take longer and cost more. Second-story work adds setup time. You’ll see every line item before we start, and if the job runs into something unexpected, we stop and explain it rather than padding the bill.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ECO Window Systems Work
Because the first callback costs more than the first job done right. We’ve been serving Hollywood and South Broward since 2008 through the shop Dale Kessler built from a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to treat a customer’s roof the way they’d treat their own mother’s. We don’t work on commission, so nobody’s trying to upsell you a full replacement when a glass swap does the job. And we’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, alongside more than a dozen manufacturers, which means we’re not married to one brand. If your ECO unit is beyond saving and another line fits the opening better, we’ll quote both side by side and let you decide.
The Done Right Promise means what it says: if it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no fine print that covers neither. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave your driveway. That’s a square deal, and it’s how we’ve kept Hollywood’s trust for going on three decades.
“Measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.” That’s been on the whiteboard for a long time, and it governs every roof unit we set.
FAQs
No, unless you hired someone who cut corners on the install and didn’t register the work. As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we handle the replacement correctly, use the right flashing and seals, and register every applicable warranty layer in writing before we leave. If there’s a factory warranty still active, we’ll help you preserve it. Call (863) 334-2933 with your model number and we can tell you where you stand.
Often yes. Many Hollywood roof window leaks come from failed flashing or worn sealant, not a failed window. We replace the flashing, rebuild the curb if needed, and re-set the unit square. If the glass itself has lost its seal, that’s a separate fix. The only way to know is to get on the roof and look. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule an inspection.
Most single-unit replacements are done in one visit, typically four to six hours depending on roof pitch and whether the curb needs work. On two-story homes, figure closer to a full day. We protect the roof deck and clean up before we leave. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll give you a straight answer for your specific home.
Both, depending on what fails. For operators, flashing kits, and seals, we use OEM parts because the tolerances matter. For insulated glass units, we source from a local fabricator that matches the original unit’s solar performance specs. We never install a bargain glass pack that turns your roof window into a hot plate. The quote tells you exactly what you’re buying.
If the frame is square, the corner welds are intact, and the glass is sound, repair is usually the better money. If the frame is separating, the flashing is cooked, or the unit is over fifteen years old with chronic leaks, replacement starts to make sense. We’ll give you both numbers and let you decide. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate and we’ll measure it before we quote it.
