ECO Window Systems Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Hollywood: What to Know First
ECO Window Systems shingle, tile and metal roofing in Hollywood typically costs between $375 and $1,800 per opening depending on material, the condition of the existing frame, and whether you’re repairing or replacing. As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we complete most repairs in a single visit, and we quote the job in writing before any work begins. This page is for Hollywood homeowners who already own ECO Window Systems windows or doors and need honest, specific answers about keeping them watertight under South Florida weather. Call (863) 334-2933 and a live person answers, day or night.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Jalousie frame seal rot on older ECO louvered units. Hollywood homes built between 1955 and 1975 still carry a lot of crank-out jalousie windows, and ECO manufactured plenty of them. The original perimeter caulking hardens after about fifteen years in salt air and pulls away from the stucco, leaving a gap you can slide a putty knife into. We remove the old sealant, treat any surface corrosion, and rebed the frame with a UV-stable sealant rated for coastal exposure. Then we test it with a hose before we call it done.
- Roller track wear on ECO horizontal sliders. The nylon rollers ECO used on their mid-1990s slider lines flatten on the bottom over time, and the sash starts to drag or bind. You’ll hear it first as a grinding sound on the track. We replace the rollers with a heavier aftermarket set that matches the original mounting dimensions, not a universal kit that needs the track hogged out to fit.
- Cracked glazing bead on impact-rated ECO picture windows. In Hollywood, the afternoon sun hits west-facing fixed windows hard enough to embrittle the vinyl glazing bead after a decade or so. When the bead cracks, water gets behind the glass and you’ll see condensation that won’t clear. We replace the bead with an OEM-profile extrusion, recaulk the glass pocket, and reseat the panel square.
- Weep-hole blockages on ECO single-hung lower frames. Hollywood’s rainy season fills the track faster than a plugged weep system can drain it, and water spills inside onto the sill. The fix is usually simple: clear the weeps, flush the track channels, and verify the sill is pitched slightly toward the exterior. On units where the weep slots were factory-molded too small, we open them with a proper drain bit and cap them with insect baffles.
- Corroded hinges on ECO casement windows near the beach. Salt air eats the zinc-plated hinges on casement sashes within eight to ten years east of US-1. The window gets hard to close, then won’t seal at all. We replace the hinges with stainless hardware and align the sash so the locking points actually engage. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails at the next storm.
Our ECO Window Systems Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. We ask what the window is doing, which room it’s in, and whether you know the ECO series. If you don’t, we’ll figure it out from the sticker or the hardware.
- 2
We measure and diagnose on site. Our tech opens the sash, checks the tracks, the seals, the frame squareness. Dale Kessler’s rule applies: measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself.
- 3
You get a written quote. We show you the OEM option and a quality aftermarket option where one exists, line by line, on paper. No change orders after that. No surprises.
- 4
We make the repair. Most ECO jobs are done in one visit. We carry common ECO replacement parts on the truck, and we don’t leave the job to go hunt a part and never come back.
- 5
We test the work. The window must operate smooth, seal tight, and drain properly before we pack up. If it doesn’t meet the standard, we’re not done.
- 6
We register what’s required and stand behind it. Our workmanship is covered by the Done Right Promise, in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing.
What ECO Window Systems Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Hollywood
Here’s what we typically see for ECO work in Hollywood:
- Roller replacement on a slider: $375 to $650 per sash, including parts and labor.
- Perimeter reseal on a jalousie or fixed frame: $250 to $500 per window, depending on access and how much old sealant has to come out first.
- Hinge replacement on a casement: $475 to $800 per sash, using stainless hardware.
- Glazing bead replacement with reseat: $400 to $700 per panel for fixed picture windows.
- Full frame tear-out and reinstall for a corroded jalousie: $1,200 to $1,800 per opening, including new anchoring and a watertight stucco return.
What moves the price: window size, second-story ladder access, how much rot or corrosion has spread into the rough opening, and whether the unit needs OEM versus aftermarket parts. We don’t quote over the phone blindly. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll schedule a free estimate. You’ll get the number in writing before you approve anything.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for ECO Window Systems Work
We’ve served South Broward since 2008, and Dale Kessler grew up in Hollywood’s Liberia neighborhood. That’s not marketing. That’s the reason our techs know that a jalousie frame near the Intracoastal fails differently than one up by the old Seminole Park area. Every ECO job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And when the unit is beyond reasonable repair, we’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so you can compare ECO against those lines side by side, on paper, with real numbers. Work we stand behind, for a homeowner we plan to still see in thirty years.
FAQs
No. As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we use OEM or manufacturer-compatible parts and follow the original installation specifications, so your remaining ECO warranty stays intact. If the failure was a factory defect that’s still covered, we’ll tell you that before we sell you a repair.
Yes, for most models. ECO used standardized hardware that’s still manufactured by aftermarket suppliers, and we keep common jalousie cranks, blades, and frame track in stock. When a part is discontinued, we’ll tell you exactly what that means and quote a proven replacement.
For water intrusion, we schedule as soon as possible and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll get a tech out to assess the damage before it spreads to drywall and floor.
If the frame is square, the seals are intact, and the hardware isn’t pitted through, repairing an ECO window is usually the smarter spend. If the frame has corroded to the point where the corners are pulling apart or the glass seal has failed on an impact-rated unit, replacement may cost about the same as repeated repairs. We’ll show you both numbers and let you decide.
No. The price we quote before the job is the price on the bill when we leave. We run a square deal: upfront pricing, written line items, no change orders hiding in the fine print. If we find rot inside the wall that nobody could see from the outside, we’ll stop, show you what we found, and approve any change before we touch it.
If your ECO windows are binding, leaking, or just not sealing like they used to, call (863) 334-2933. We’ll measure, diagnose, and hand you a written estimate. No pressure, no guesswork, and someone who answers the phone when you call.
