AfterECO Window Systems Construction in Lighthouse Point, FL | Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach
We provide independent ECO Window Systems service across Lighthouse Point, not as an authorized dealer but as a crew that has installed and repaired these units in canal-front CBS homes since the brand first entered the South Florida market. The one thing that makes our ECO Window Systems work here different: we know that salt-air corrosion at the aluminum sill is not a defect in the window, it’s the predictable result of mounting ECO sliders on a Lighthouse Point canal lot without marine-grade fasteners and proper drainage. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Lighthouse Point Residents Choose Us for ECO Window Systems Service
We’ve worked on enough ECO Window Systems units in Lighthouse Point to know the difference between a roller that needs grease and a sill that has pitted through from salt exposure. Our crew carries OEM-equivalent rollers, tandem assemblies, weatherstrip, and laminated impact IGUs on the truck, so most repairs don’t wait on a parts run.
Grant Rowan grew up watching crews rebuild older homes along Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills, then trained in construction technology at Santa Monica College before spending the better part of three decades in the field. He and our team have logged years of work throughout Pompano Beach, including several complete gut-renovations near the historic Old Town district. That background shows up in how we sequence ECO Window Systems jobs: we don’t pull a window until the replacement unit and the reframing materials are on-site, because nothing sits idle while subcontractors wait on each other. Grant keeps a worn copy of the Florida Building Code on his truck’s passenger seat. He’s read more of it than most people would find reasonable. He considers that a professional asset, not a personality flaw.
Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Every ECO Window Systems project in Lighthouse Point gets a flat written quote with a written scope and a written warranty. No change proceeds without a signed change order. That discipline is why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed number.
We are an independent outfit. Not affiliated with ECO Window Systems. Not authorized. Our credibility comes from field experience, not a badge. ECO Window Systems sales & service across Broward County’s coastal communities is what we do.
Common ECO Window Systems Construction Problems We Solve in Lighthouse Point
- Salt-air corrosion at the aluminum sill and bottom rail on ECO sliders. The anodized finish pits and the rollers seize, so the panel drags or jumps the track after 8-12 years on canal-front homes. In Lighthouse Point, where nearly every lot touches salt water, this happens faster than ECO’s inland spec sheets suggest. We see it on the 2600 Series horizontal rollers in original 1960s CBS construction, and on the 7000 Series sliders in later renovations.
- Water intrusion at the head flashing on retrofitted ECO units. Original 1958-1975 CBS openings were framed to looser deflection limits than current HVHZ code requires. When an ECO 5000 Series single-hung or 8000 Series fixed picture unit goes into that opening without proper shimming, wind-driven rain tracks behind the frame and stains interior drywall. We find this on kitchen remodels where the previous contractor reused the original rough opening.
- Laminated impact glass edge seal failure. Cloudiness or a shifting purple tint between panes shows up on ECO windows facing west or south without adequate overhang. The Lighthouse Point sun is relentless, and the canal reflection amplifies UV exposure on waterfront elevations. Once the laminate seal goes, the IGU has to be replaced to maintain the HVHZ rating.
- Fastener rust jacking in salt-spray zones. Standard zinc screws holding ECO frames into old stucco over block will pull the stucco face away as they corrode. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchors on every Lighthouse Point install, because we’ve seen what zinc fasteners look like after five years on a canal lot.
- Seized tandem roller assemblies on ECO 7000 Series sliders. When the bottom rail corrodes, the rollers don’t just wear out - they weld themselves to the track. The panel won’t budge, or it jumps the rail entirely. On a canal-front home, this is usually a full replacement, not a repair.

AfterECO Window Systems Service in Lighthouse Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because nearly every one of Lighthouse Point’s roughly 3,800 single-family lots sits on or steps from a navigable canal, ECO Window Systems openings here are exposed to constant salt-laden air off the water. This pits aluminum sills and corrodes fasteners far faster than the same unit would fail in an inland Broward city like Margate or Tamarac. The city’s original poured-concrete seawalls, installed during the 1960s buildout, are now past their 50-year service life, and Broward County inspectors routinely flag failing seawalls when homeowners pull permits for unrelated renovations. We’ve seen Lighthouse Point Kitchen Remodeling projects on NE 24th Street turn into seawall-replacement projects because the inspector wouldn’t sign off on the window rough opening until the seawall was stabilized. That doesn’t happen in Coconut Creek. For ECO Window Systems owners, this means any window replacement on a canal-front lot needs to account for potential seawall work in the permit timeline, and the new install has to use marine-grade everything - fasteners, flashing, sealant - because the salt doesn’t stop.
On a canal-front 1962 CBS ranch off NE 24th Street in Lighthouse Point, our crew replaced two seized ECO 7000 Series sliding glass doors that had corroded so badly the panels wouldn’t roll and wind-driven rain pooled on the interior sill. We pulled the units out to the original block opening, reframed and shimmed to HVHZ deflection limits, set new ECO sliders on stainless fasteners with fresh head flashing, and the doors now latch, roll, and drain the way they’re supposed to. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
ECO Window Systems Models & Products We Service in Lighthouse Point
We work on the full ECO Window Systems residential line that appears in Lighthouse Point homes: the 7000 Series impact sliding glass doors, common on canal-front living rooms; the 5000 Series single-hung impact windows, standard for bedrooms and street-facing elevations; the 2600 Series horizontal roller windows, still found on original 1960s CBS canal homes; and the 8000 Series large-opening sliders and fixed picture units, popular in tear-down rebuilds on premium waterfront lots.
We carry or source OEM-equivalent ECO Window Systems rollers, tandem roller assemblies, weatherstrip, glazing gaskets, and laminated impact IGUs so repairs match the original HVHZ rating. When salt corrosion has eaten through the extrusion or the laminate seal is gone, we tell you straight: a new unit is cheaper over ten years than chasing a failing frame, but a roller/weatherstrip job on a sound ECO slider is a same-day fix. Our Lighthouse Point service area coverage means we don’t drive from Miami-Dade for parts.

What drives the cost: the number of openings, whether the original CBS rough framing needs reframing to current HVHZ deflection limits, and whether seawall condition triggers additional permit work. A straight ECO 5000 Series replacement into a sound opening is at the lower end. A full-gut kitchen with new 8000 Series picture units, reframed openings, and seawall coordination is at the upper end.

FAQs - ECO Window Systems Construction in Lighthouse Point
It depends on whether the aluminum sill has pitted through. If the extrusion is sound, a roller and weatherstrip replacement is a same-day fix, typically $300-$800 per panel. If salt corrosion has compromised the sill or bottom rail, replacement is the only lasting solution. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll inspect it - estimates are free.
Yes. Wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal hits harder here than inland, and the original 1958-1975 CBS rough openings were not shimmed to current HVHZ deflection limits. We install head flashing with a drainage plane, sealant backer rod, and weep holes that account for the canal exposure. Standard flashing details from a non-coastal install will leak.
We can replace laminated impact IGUs with OEM-equivalent glass that carries the same HVHZ rating, provided the frame extrusion and anchorage are intact. If the frame has corroded or the fasteners have rust-jacked the stucco, glass-only replacement won’t pass inspection. We document the frame condition with photos before quoting.
Salt-laden air off the canal accelerates galvanic corrosion of standard zinc and uncoated steel fasteners. In Lighthouse Point, we see this in 5-7 years instead of the 15-20 you’d expect inland. We use stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized anchors on every install, which is why our replacements don’t repeat the problem.
It can. Broward County inspectors routinely flag failing seawalls when homeowners pull permits for Lighthouse Point Bathroom Remodeling or kitchen projects that include window replacement. If your seawall is past its 50-year service life, the window permit may be held until seawall repair or replacement is documented. We check this during our free estimate so you’re not surprised mid-project. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule - estimates are free.
