ECO Window Systems Construction in Hollywood, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
We install, replace, and repair ECO Window Systems windows across Hollywood, from 1950s concrete block houses to beach high-rises. We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means our recommendations on repair versus replacement come from what we see in the field, not a sales quota. Hollywood’s salt air and hurricane codes change how these windows fail, and knowing that difference saves homeowners thousands. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written estimate on any ECO window work.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for ECO Window Systems Service
Trevor Nash, who runs our Fort Lauderdale operation, grew up in Los Angeles and came up through Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades running crews across South Florida. His take on ECO Window Systems work in Hollywood is direct: the windows themselves are solid, but the installation details decide whether they survive fifteen years or forty. We’ve handled everything from full impact retrofits near Las Olas Boulevard to modest window swaps for Hollywood homeowners who just want the fog out from between the glass panes.
Our crew knows which ECO models hold up in salt air and which need extra flashing and moisture management. We’re part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating under the Kingswell Guarantee since 2004. That means every Hollywood job gets a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee. A live person answers our phones 24/7, and our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking into your home.

Common ECO Window Systems Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Fog between the panes in ECO 5500 Series units. Hollywood’s humidity pushes moisture into any compromised seal. We see double-pane seal failure in ECO 5500 windows at the 8 to 12 year mark consistently, especially in homes within a mile of the beach. The fix is either new insulated glass or a full sash replacement, depending on frame condition.
- Roller and track wear in ECO 7000 Series sliders. Oceanfront condos on Hollywood Beach get fine sand driven into window tracks by the same wind that makes the view worth it. Sand grinds down ECO 7000 rollers until the sash drags or jams. We clean, re-roll, and re-align tracks, replacing worn hardware with OEM parts when available.
- Frame warping and crank stripping on ECO 6000 casements. South-facing walls on mid-century Hollywood homes take relentless sun. ECO 6000 casement frames can warp enough over a decade that the crank mechanism strips trying to close them. We replace the crank assembly and straighten or replace the sash as needed.
- Weep hole clogging and sill corrosion on early ECO 800 Series. First-generation ECO 800 single-hungs in Hollywood homes without deep eaves often clog at the weep holes. Water sits in the track, the aluminum corrodes, and eventually the sill rots. We drill, clean, and seal, then treat the corrosion before it spreads.
- Impact code compliance after DIY or handyman repairs. We frequently get called to Hollywood homes where a previous contractor swapped ECO impact glass for non-rated units. Miami-Dade NOA compliance means the glass, frame, and installation all have to match the approved assembly. We document what’s there and bring it back to code.
ECO Window Systems Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood’s historic preservation review shapes more ECO Window Systems work here than most homeowners realize. In designated districts like portions of Hollywood Lakes, any window replacement or exterior renovation must match the original fenestration pattern, muntin profiles, and frame material. That means an ECO impact replacement in a 1920s concrete home often needs custom divided lites and a painted finish that mimics original wood, which we coordinate with the city before pulling a permit. Skip that step and the city can red-tag the job mid-install. We’ve walked our clients through this process enough times to know exactly what the board looks for, so the permit package goes in right the first time.
Last June our crew replaced fourteen ECO 5500 Series windows in a 1962 concrete block ranch on Polk Street in Hollywood Lakes. The original windows had failed seals and corroded weep holes from forty years of salt air, and two bedroom windows wouldn’t close enough to meet impact code. We swapped in new Miami-Dade NOA-approved ECO 6000 impact units with matching muntin grids to satisfy the historic board, replaced all flashing tape and sill pans, and tested each window with a water jet before final inspection.
ECO Window Systems Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work on the full ECO line that shows up in Hollywood homes: the 5500 Series double-hungs with their seal issues, the 6000 Series impact windows spec’d for coastal code, the 7000 Series sliders common in condos, and the 800 Series single-hungs found in older ranches. When parts are needed, we use OEM ECO hardware for impact-rated glass and multi-point locks, because the Miami-Dade NOA requires original components for wind-load compliance. When OEM parts are discontinued or backordered, we source NOA-listed aftermarket components from local Miami-Dade suppliers and document the substitution in writing. For windows past fifteen years with failed seals or heavy frame corrosion, we usually recommend replacement: new impact glass plus labor can hit 60 to 70 percent of a new unit’s cost, and the new unit carries a fresh salt-air warranty. If you’re further north, our ECO Window Systems service in Fort Lauderdale page covers that area.

AfterECO Window Systems Service Pricing in Hollywood
| Service | Typical Range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
What moves the number? Glass package first: full Miami-Dade impact-rated glazing costs more than standard low-E. Historic district requirements add custom muntins and paint-grade finishes. High-rise work carries hoisting and logistics costs that ground-level condos don’t. And any rotted framing we uncover gets addressed before the window goes in, so the number we write is the number you pay. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written, line-item price on your Hollywood ECO job, and see the Hollywood service area page for coverage details.

FAQs – ECO Window Systems Construction in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood requires a permit for window replacement, and if your home sits in a designated historic district like portions of Hollywood Lakes, the city’s preservation board must approve the fenestration details before you pull it. We handle the paperwork, the board coordination, and the inspections so you don’t have to chase the city. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll tell you what your specific property triggers.
If the frame is square and the seal is the only failure, we can replace the insulated glass unit and re-seal the sash. If the frame shows corrosion, the weep system is clogged, or the unit doesn’t meet current impact code, a full sash or full window replacement makes more sense. We’ll show you both numbers and let you decide.
The ECO 6000 Series impact windows carry Miami-Dade NOA approval when installed as part of a listed assembly with the correct hardware, glazing, and anchoring. That’s why we use OEM parts for impact glass and multi-point locks: substituting non-listed components voids the NOA and can fail a Hollywood building inspection. If you’re curious which specific NOA applies to your building, call us and we’ll look it up.
That fog is seal failure. Hollywood’s humidity pressure pushes moisture into the air space between the panes once the butyl or silicone seal breaks down, and daily temperature swings make it condense every morning. It won’t dry out and fix itself. Replacing the insulated glass unit solves it, and doing it sooner prevents the frame from absorbing that trapped moisture. For a quote on your fogged units, call (754) 551-2922.
We plan for fifteen to twenty years on coastal exposure. Interior units away from salt spray can go thirty or more. The failure point is rarely the glass: it’s seal corrosion and frame degradation at the weep holes and sill. A water-jet test every three to four years catches problems early and extends the life of the unit. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate on replacements before the next hurricane season.
