AfterECO Window Systems Roof Repair in Fort Myers: What to Know First
ECO Window Systems roof repair in Fort Myers typically runs $325 to $1,450 depending on whether we’re replacing flashing around a skylight well, resetting a curb-mounted unit, or rebuilding a rotted deck opening. Most repairs are completed in one visit, and every job starts with a free written estimate before any work begins. If you own an ECO Window Systems skylight or roof window and you’ve noticed staining on the ceiling below it, water pooling in the frame channel, or condensation between the glass panes, this page covers exactly what’s going wrong, what it costs to fix, and how we handle it. Call (239) 453-7751 and a live person answers, 24/7.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
ECO Window Systems builds a solid product, but like every roof-penetrating skylight and roof window sold in Southwest Florida, the failure usually isn’t the glass. It’s the marriage between the unit and the roof deck. Here’s what we see most often on Fort Myers roofs.
- Flashing separation on the ECO Fixed Skylight line. The original installer may have used caulk-only sealing instead of stepped metal flashing. After two or three Fort Myers wet seasons, the caulk shrinks, the metal expands and contracts, and water finds the seam. We pull the old flashing, install new step flashing lapped correctly under the shingles or tile, and re-bed the curb with a polyurethane sealant rated for Florida UV. That’s a permanent fix, not a recaulk-and-hope repair.
- Roof window frame channel clogging on the ECO Roof Window series. The weep channels on the bottom sash frame are designed to drain condensation and wind-driven rain. In Fort Myers, live oak pollen, cypress needles, and airborne salt spray clog those channels within a season or two. Water backs up, overflows the interior channel, and runs down the drywall. We clean the channels fully, verify proper sill slope, and often add a secondary drainage path. Most homeowners never realize the window itself was fine the whole time.
- Deck rot under the curb. This is the one that turns a $400 repair into a $1,200 repair. Florida humidity and slow leaks rot the wood curb the skylight sits on. We discover this when we lift the unit to replace flashing. We replace the rotted sections with pressure-treated lumber, re-flash properly, and re-seat the skylight. If you catch it early, you save the roof deck. If you wait, the sheathing rots out and you’re into structural work.
- Glazing gasket failure on ECO curb-mounted units. The rubber gasket between the glass and the aluminum frame degrades under Fort Myers sun, especially on west and south-facing roof slopes. You’ll see hazing or fogging between the panes. The glass unit hasn’t failed; the seal around it has. We re-glaze the sash with aftermarket gaskets that match or exceed the OEM spec, and we don’t charge OEM markup for it.
- Improper curb height from the original install. Florida code requires a minimum curb height for roof penetrations in high-wind zones. Some ECO units we service in Fort Myers were installed on curbs too short for current code. Water splashes over the top during heavy afternoon thunderstorms. We raise the curb, rebuild the flashing, and bring the whole assembly up to current Lee County code. It fixes the leak and may save you a failed insurance claim later.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Repair Process
Here’s how a typical ECO Window Systems roof repair job goes from the first call to the final walkaround.
- 1
You call (239) 453-7751. A live person answers, day or night. You describe what you’re seeing; we ask about the age of the unit, when you first noticed the leak, and whether it’s a flat glass skylight or an operable roof window.
- 2
We schedule a roof inspection. There’s no trip charge inside our home county. A uniformed, background-checked technician shows up, climbs onto the roof, and inspects the ECO unit, the flashing, the curb, the roof deck, and the interior ceiling below it.
- 3
We give you a written diagnosis and line-item estimate. You’ll see exactly what’s wrong, what we recommend, and what it costs, before any work starts. No vague “roof repair, ol,200” lines. You get specifics.
- 4
We make the repair. If it needs flashing, we flash. If the curb needs rebuilding, we rebuild. If the sash needs re-glazing, we re-glaze. For parts, we use OEM when warranty or fit requires it, and quality aftermarket when it saves you money without sacrificing performance. We tell you which before we order anything.
- 5
We test and verify. We water-test the repair with a controlled hose flow, check the interior, and confirm the weep system drains. If it doesn’t pass, we don’t leave. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
- 6
We clean up and walk you through the work. You see photos of the repair, know what we replaced, and have a copy of the warranty on the workmanship. You’ll never have to wonder what actually got done up there.

FAQs
In most cases, no. As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we’re careful to use repair methods and parts that don’t compromise the manufacturer’s coverage. Flashing replacement, curb rebuilding, and deck work happen outside the manufacturer’s sealed unit and don’t affect the glass warranty. If we recommend any work that could affect warranty coverage, we’ll tell you before we start and you’ll decide with full information. Call (239) 453-7751 if you want us to walk through your specific model and warranty situation.
Most ECO Window Systems roof repairs are completed within three to five business days of your first call, with many completed same-week. Leaking skylights and roof windows can’t wait through the next afternoon thunderstorm without risking more damage to your roof deck and drywall. Call (239) 453-7751 and we’ll get someone on your roof fast, with an exact completion window once we see the scope of the work.
We use both, and we’re upfront about which makes sense for your repair. If the unit is still under warranty, we use OEM parts to preserve the coverage. If it’s out of warranty, quality aftermarket glazing gaskets, flashing, and hardware often match or exceed the OEM spec for significantly less money. We’ll tell you the part source and the price difference before ordering anything. No surprises on the invoice.
If the glass is intact, the frame is structurally sound, and the leak is coming from flashing, gaskets, or a rotted curb, repair is nearly always the smarter money. You keep your existing unit, fix the failure, and avoid the cost and disruption of a full replacement. If the glass seal has failed and the panes are fogged, or if the frame is corroded through, replacement may cost less than repeated repairs. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way, with numbers for both options.
No. We operate on fixed, line-item pricing. The estimate you approve is the price you pay. If we open up the curb and find rot that wasn’t visible from the outside, we stop work, show you photos, explain the additional scope, and get your approval before proceeding. We never hand you a change order after the fact and call it a surprise. Call (239) 453-7751 for a written estimate that actually means something.
When your ECO Window Systems skylight or roof window develops a problem, you don’t need a national call center; you need a neighbor who knows what he’s doing. My name’s on the door, literally. That means every repair we make has to be right. We’re the one down the road, and we’ll be here long after the invoice clears. Call (239) 453-7751 today for your free roof inspection and written quote.
