AfterECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We provide independent ECO Window Systems roof replacement and installation across Fort Lauderdale, with most full replacements completed in two to four days depending on roof size, slope, and underlayment condition. Pricing for a typical Fort Lauderdale single-family home runs $11,500 to $22,000 for architectural shingle replacement, while tile and metal systems run higher and are quoted after an on-site inspection. If you own a home with ECO Window Systems products and the roof above them is failing, call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate from a crew that knows both systems and how they interact.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already have ECO Window Systems windows or doors installed and need roof work done around them, or who are planning a roof replacement and want it done without damaging the ECO products already in place.
Key Takeaways
- We’re an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer. That means we work for you, not a warranty department.
- Roof replacement around existing ECO Window Systems products requires flashing, sealant, and sequencing decisions that generic roofers routinely get wrong.
- Fort Lauderdale’s wind-driven rain and salt exposure create failure patterns specific to this climate, and ECO products have known interaction points with roofing systems.
- Every job is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
- Free estimates, upfront pricing, and Ed Winslow’s name on the work. Call (904) 913-5886.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ECO Window Systems builds impact-rated aluminum and vinyl products popular in South Florida coastal construction. We see them regularly in Fort Lauderdale homes built or renovated after 2010. When a roof replacement or installation goes wrong around ECO products, the damage shows up in predictable ways. Here are the five failure patterns we fix most often.
- Flashing separation at the head of ECO casement and picture windows. Roofers who rush the transition between roof deck and window opening leave gaps that let wind-driven rain behind the flashing. In Fort Lauderdale, that rain comes sideways during summer storms. We pull the affected flashing, re-tape the transition with butyl-backed flashing tape, and re-seal with an elastomeric sealant compatible with ECO’s frame coating. The fix is mechanical, not cosmetic.
- Scuppers and parapet caps leaking into cavities above ECO fixed windows. This shows up on flat-roof portions of Fort Lauderdale homes. Water pools at the scupper, finds a path through the parapet cap, and runs down inside the wall until it hits the top of an ECO window frame. The homeowner sees water at the window but the roof is the source. We repair the scupper detail, replace the cap, and verify the drainage path before touching the window itself.
- Sealant incompatibility between silicone-based roof products and ECO frame finishes. Some silicone sealants used on roofing projects contain acetic acid that degrades the powder coat on ECO aluminum frames over time. We use neutral-cure sealants specified for coated aluminum when we tie roofing membranes into ECO window perimeters. It’s a small detail that prevents chalky, peeling frames two years down the road.
- Roof tear-off debris damaging ECO low-E glass. During tear-off, falling shingles and tile fragments can strike window glass below the roofline. ECO laminated impact glass resists breakage well, but scratches and edge chips compromise the glass over time. Our crews tarp and shield all ECO windows and doors below active tear-off zones before work begins, and we document pre-existing condition with photos on every job.
- Improper step flashing at ECO picture window side walls. Where a roof slope meets a vertical wall next to an ECO picture window, each shingle course needs individual step flashing. Production roofers sometimes skip this step on the window side, relying on sealant alone. Sealant fails in Fort Lauderdale’s UV and heat within two to three years. We install full step flashing, counter-flashing, and kick-out flashing at the bottom of the wall so water exits the wall plane before it can reach the window opening.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every ECO Window Systems roof job we do in Fort Lauderdale follows the same sequence. It’s not glamorous, but it prevents the failures listed above.
- 1
Site walk and documentation. We inspect the roof, the ECO window and door perimeters, the attic if accessible, and photograph everything. You get a written line-item estimate, not a verbal ballpark.
- 2
Protection setup. Before tear-off, we shield all ECO windows, doors, and any deck or patio surfaces with plywood-backed tarps. Your windows stay clean and uncracked.
- 3
Tear-off and deck inspection. We remove the old roofing material and inspect the deck for rot, especially around penetrations and at roof-to-wall transitions near ECO products. Rotted decking is replaced and documented, never covered over.
- 4
Flashing and waterproofing. We install new drip edge, underlayment, and full step and counter-flashing at every transition touching an ECO window or door perimeter. We use neutral-cure sealants on ECO frames, never acid-cure silicone.
- 5
Roof installation and perimeter tie-in. Shingle, tile, or metal system installed per manufacturer specs and Broward County code, with the final tie-in to ECO window openings double-checked before we call it done.
- 6
Final inspection and cleanup. We walk the property with you, peel back the shielding, run a hose test where weather isn’t cooperating, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. You get photos of the finished flashing details for your records.
What ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement pricing in Fort Lauderdale depends on roof size, slope, material, and how many ECO window and door openings require detailed flashing work. Below are the ranges we typically quote after an on-site inspection.
- Architectural shingle replacement, 2,000 sq ft single-story: $11,500 to $16,500, including full perimeter flashing tie-in at ECO openings.
- Architectural shingle replacement, 2,500 to 3,000 sq ft two-story: $16,000 to $22,000, with higher cost for steep slopes or multiple valleys.
- Tile roof replacement: $28,000 to $45,000 depending on tile profile, underlayment system, and structural reinforcement required.
- Standing seam metal roof installation: $25,000 to $40,000 for typical Fort Lauderdale homes, including ECO-compatible flashing details.
- Scupper, parapet, or flashing repair around ECO windows without full replacement: $850 to $3,200 per detail, depending on access and damage extent.
What moves the price: number of roof penetrations, accessibility, whether the existing deck passes inspection, and how many ECO window openings need custom flashing work. We give written line-item estimates before work starts, and the price doesn’t move once you sign. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate.

We’ve been doing this long enough to know that the moment a roofer says, “Don’t worry, we’ll work around the windows,” someone should start worrying. Fort Lauderdale homes with ECO Window Systems products need a crew that treats those windows and doors as part of the roof system, not as an obstacle to shingle around. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and we’ve built our reputation on jobs along Las Olas and the surrounding neighborhoods where salt air and hard Atlantic storms sort out quality work fast.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on ECO Window Systems frame coatings, sealant compatibility, and flashing details specific to this climate. And since we also install and service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, we understand how roofing decisions affect window warranties across multiple brands, not just one.

FAQs
It can, if the roofer uses incompatible sealants or damages the frame coating during installation. ECO Window Systems warranty coverage requires that work around their products not introduce damage from outside trades. Our process uses neutral-cure sealants, proper flashing, and documented protection of all ECO products, so your window warranty stays intact. Call (904) 913-5886 if you’re planning a roof replacement and want the ECO tie-in done correctly.
For roofing work around ECO products, OEM parts are rarely needed because the roof work involves flashing, sealant, and waterproofing rather than window components themselves. When a roof leak has damaged an ECO window frame or sash, we recommend OEM replacements where available and cost-effective. We’ll show you the difference in price and durability before you commit to anything.
Most Fort Lauderdale single-family roof replacements take two to four days from tear-off to final inspection. Homes with complex roof lines, multiple ECO window openings requiring custom flashing, or tile systems may take longer. We set a schedule at contract signing and stick to it. Estimates are free, so call (904) 913-5886 to get a timeline for your specific roof.
Yes, in most cases. If the leak is isolated to one flashing detail, scupper, or parapet cap, we repair the specific failure point for $850 to $3,200 depending on access and extent. If the roof itself is at end of life, spot repairs won’t hold. We’ll tell you straight which situation you’re in after the inspection, not before we’ve seen it.
Yes. We pull required Broward County and Fort Lauderdale permits on every roof replacement, and the work is inspected and passed before we call the job complete. No shortcuts, no unpermitted work. That’s part of the Done Right Promise.
