AfterECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation in Westgate: What to Know First
ECO Window Systems roof replacement and installation in Westgate runs $9,800 to $24,500 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in five to nine business days once permits clear. We’re an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, and we work on the full range of their impact-rated and non-impact roof glazing lines, skylights, and roof-to-wall transition systems. If you own a Westgate home with ECO products, this page tells you what actually goes wrong, what it costs to make right, and who to call. Reach Ed Winslow and the team at (561) 468-6136 for a free estimate.
Key Takeaways
- ECO Window Systems roof components fail most often at sealant joints and flashing transitions, not in the glass itself.
- We service the ECO lineup as an independent provider, which means we source parts without manufacturer restrictions.
- A roof replacement that touches ECO curb-mounted skylights requires re-flashing to keep the warranty valid on your roofing membrane.
- Westgate’s afternoon thunderstorms and 70-plus inches of annual rainfall turn minor seal gaps into interior leaks fast.
- Winslow Windows & Doors has served Westgate since 2011 with the Done Right Promise behind every job.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
Most Westgate homeowners assume roof glass fails from impact. It rarely does. Here’s what we actually find on ECO roof installations across the area, and how we address each one.
- Skylight curb seal failure on the ECO Vista Series. The Vista line uses an aluminum curb with a factory-applied butyl seal. After eight to ten years of Florida sun, that butyl dries out and separates at the corners. We remove the old curb, inspect the deck opening, and re-bed with a dual-layer sealant system rated for our climate. The glass is usually fine; the seal was never going to last.
- Weep-hole clogging on ECO RoofLight models. The RoofLight frame is designed to drain condensation into small exterior weeps. Westgate oak pollen and debris accumulate there and back water up under the glass. We see this most often on homes along Summit Boulevard and in the older sections of the Villages of Palm Beach Lakes. The fix is a full frame cleaning, weep reaming, and a test cycle with a hose. Then we confirm the interior stays dry through the next storm.
- Flashing separation where roof-to-wall transitions meet ECO glass. When a roofer replaces shingles or tile without touching the ECO unit, the step flashing often gets bent or kicked loose. Water enters behind the frame and travels inside the attic before anyone sees a ceiling stain. On every ECO roof job, we pull the adjacent tile or shingle course, inspect the step flashing, and re-lap it correctly before we even touch the ECO frame.
- Hazing between the glass panes on older ECO insulated units. Once the inner seal fails, humid Westgate air gets pulled between the panes during pressure shifts. It looks like fog that won’t wipe away. On roof applications we recommend replacing the insulated glass unit with a new argon-filled ECO-compatible panel, not trying to dry out a dead seal. You’ll spend more chasing it than replacing it.
- Improper retrofit installations from other contractors. We’ve walked onto Westgate roofs where an ECO unit was secured with deck screws through the frame face instead of the mounting clips. That voids the manufacturer’s leak warranty and it’s structurally wrong. We re-anchor correctly and document everything with photos so your records stay clean.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Process
We don’t send a salesperson. Ed or one of our senior techs comes out, gets on the roof, and takes measurements themselves. Here’s how a typical ECO roof job runs with us.
- 1
On-site inspection and measurements. We check the existing ECO unit, the roofing membrane around it, the flashing, and the attic condition. We look for water tracks, seal breaks, and any movement in the frame.
- 2
Written line-item quote. You get a fixed price with parts, labor, permit fees, and disposal broken out. No vague allowances, no change orders later unless you ask us to expand the scope.
- 3
Parts decision. If the glass is good but the frame or seal system failed, we source OEM-compatible curb, flashing, and sealant kits. If the unit itself is dead, we give you honest numbers for replacement with a new ECO-compatible skylight or roof window, and we’ll walk through whether a comparable PGT or CGI roof glazing unit makes more sense for your home and budget.
- 4
Permit pull and schedule. We file the roof opening permit through Palm Beach County and schedule once it’s approved. Most Westgate ECO jobs run five to nine business days once we start.
- 5
Roof and unit work. We protect the interior, remove the old unit and flashing, repair any deck rot, install the new curb and frame, set the glass, and re-lap the roofing material correctly around the opening.
- 6
Water test and cleanup. We run a hose test on the full surround, check the interior five times during the process, and clean up everything including the roof debris and the driveway. Then Ed walks the job with you before we call it done.
What ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Westgate
Every job depends on size, roof type, and what’s actually failed. Westgate homes run the range, from older ranch builds to newer two-story concrete tile jobs, and that affects access and labor. Here’s honest pricing from our recent work in the neighborhood.
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Skylight curb seal repair, single unit | $450 – $900 |
| Full re-flash of existing ECO roof window during roof replacement | $1,200 – $2,800 |
| Insulated glass replacement for ECO RoofLight | $850 – $1,900 |
| Complete ECO skylight or roof window replacement, mid-range unit | $3,800 – $7,500 |
| Multi-unit roof glazing replacement with deck repair | $9,800 – $24,500 |
The biggest cost drivers are deck rot (when water sat too long before anyone noticed), concrete tile work (slow, and tile breaks), and whether the unit is a standard curb mount or a custom size from an older ECO catalog. We never pad the price. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll give you a written number you can hold us to.
Why Westgate Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for ECO Window Systems Work
We’ve been doing this in Westgate since 2011. Ed Winslow grew up just off Hialeah Drive, and he still considers this neighborhood his backyard. When you call, a live person answers, not a dispatcher in another state. Our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they know ECO frames well enough to diagnose a seal failure before they open the ladder. The Done Right Promise means if something’s not right after we leave, we come back and make it right, for as long as you own the home. We also install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so if your roof project makes you realize a few wall openings need attention too, the same crew can handle it. My name’s on the truck. If it’s not right, I’ll make it right.
FAQs
No, replacing the roof itself doesn’t void the ECO product warranty, but improper re-flashing around an ECO skylight or roof window almost always does. We re-lap flashing and curbs to manufacturer-tested standards and document the work with photos, so your warranty record stays intact.
Yes. We order OEM-compatible curb kits, flashing assemblies, and sealant systems for ECO Vista and RoofLight models through our supplier channels, and we stock the most common gaskets and weep parts in our service vehicles. If a part is backordered, we tell you before we start, never after.
If the glass is clear, the frame is square, and the leak is at the curb or flashing, a re-seal and re-flash fixes it for $450 to $2,800. If the glass is hazed between panes or the frame is corroded, replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll show you photos from the roof so you see the evidence yourself before you spend a dollar.
We answer the phone live and usually have a tech on a Westgate roof within one to two business days for active leaks. If water is actively entering your home, call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll tell you exactly when we can be there. You can also tarp the interior opening temporarily, but don’t climb onto a wet tile roof yourself.
Not unless the roof deck under your ECO unit is so rotten it needs structural repair, which we flag in writing and show you before proceeding. Our quotes are fixed, line-item, and include permits. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, and any repair over $200 gets $40 off, permanently, no expiration.
