AfterECO Window Systems Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Eco Window Systems in West Palm Beach and across Palm Beach, from basic hinge repairs to full-frame impact replacements. The one thing that makes our ECO work different here is the Town of Palm Beach’s ARCOM review: most visible window or door work on a landmarked estate needs board approval before a wrench turns. Dale Kessler and our TruePane crews do that dance weekly, so you’re not paying a mainland outfit to learn the Town’s rules on your house. Call (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer about your ECO unit.
Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for ECO Window Systems Service
Our technicians work on North Palm Beach Eco Window Systems service units across the Palm Beach barrier island every week. That means we know how ECO 5000 Series awning windows behave in a 1940s oceanfront condo, how ECO 7000 Series impact casements hold up against salt spray from two directions, and how ECO Heritage wood-clad arched units age on the North End. We don’t read the catalog to you. We’ve already seen the failure.
Dale Kessler picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program, spending more time on the shop floor than in a classroom seat. That suited him fine. For the better part of two decades he’s been measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across the Tampa Bay area and Palm Beach County, and the work he’s best known for is storm-rated installation done tight enough that a follow-up inspection is never a surprise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common ECO Window Systems Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach
- Salt pitting on ECO aluminum corner keys and hinge pivot pins. Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Standard inland hardware starts pitting within two or three years. We replace those components with marine-grade 316 stainless when the original spec fails.
- Failed compression seals on older non-impact ECO fixed and awning units. Units installed before current Florida Building Code tightness requirements let wind-driven rain through the windward side during squalls. We see this most on pre-2000 ECO 5000 Series awning windows in smaller condos near the Lake Worth Inlet.
- Corroded stainless fasteners in early ECO impact screens and sill tracks. Especially on estates within 500 feet of South Ocean Boulevard. The salt concentration there is relentless. Fasteners that look fine from six feet away are often rotted through at the thread.
- Glazing bead warping on ECO 7000 Series casements. When oversized custom arched panes were fabricated without allowance for thermal movement, the beads pull and the glass shifts. This shows up on Mediterranean Revival replacements where the arch radius was copied from the original steel unit.
- Binding rollers and track wear on ECO 7000 Series sliding glass doors. Sand from the beach and salt air combine to wear rollers fast. What starts as a stiff glide becomes a track that needs full replacement. We quote roller replacement first when the track is salvageable.
ECO Window Systems Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
On the Estate Section properties along South Ocean Boulevard, original 1920s through 1940s steel-frame windows have often corroded so severely they’re structurally compromised. ARCOM mandates that replacements match the original sight-line profiles exactly. That means an ECO Window Systems unit on a landmarked estate cannot use a thicker impact sill or a wider mullion unless the owner files a variance and gets it approved. This profile constraint does not exist across the bridge in West Palm Beach. A homeowner over there can order a standard off-the-shelf impact unit and have it installed the same month. Here, the same job can take six weeks of ARCOM submittal engineering before fabrication even starts. For an ECO 6000 Series narrow-profile casement, that’s an advantage: the line was engineered for exactly this kind of tight profile constraint. For an ECO 7000 Series impact unit on a Mizner-era house, the engineering is the project. We walk owners through what ARCOM will and won’t approve before they spend money on drawings, because guessing wrong costs more than the window does.
Here’s the second Palm Beach reality that shapes every ECO repair here: salt spray from two directions at once. The Atlantic throws salt from the east, the Intracoastal throws it from the west. Aluminum frames, hinges, and locks corrode faster than manufacturers’ standard coastal ratings predict. Marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware is not an upgrade in Palm Beach. It’s the baseline. If an ECO unit was installed with standard inland hardware, we’re usually replacing that hardware within five years, not twenty.
We saw this play out on South Ocean Boulevard just north of the Estate Section. Our tech found a 1930s Mediterranean Revival house with original steel casements so corroded at the bottom hinge stile that one sash actually pulled away from the frame. ARCOM required an exact match to the 1-3/8-inch sight line, so we full-frame replaced that entire south elevation with powder-coated narrow-profile ECO 7000 Series impact casements in dark bronze, after a four-week ARCOM submittal, and re-flashed each rough opening because even with a good frame, salt-laden wind was driving rain through the old stucco interface. The window job was straightforward. The water management was the actual fix.
ECO Window Systems Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach
We service the full ECO Window Systems residential line. ECO 5000 Series awning and fixed windows show up often in smaller 1940s and 1950s oceanfront condos. ECO 6000 Series casement and picture windows, with their narrow-profile aluminum, are frequently spec’d for landmark approval work. ECO 7000 Series impact casement and sliding glass doors appear in larger Mediterranean Revival replacements where ARCOM permits new work. ECO Heritage wood-clad fixed and arched units show up on a few non-landmarked mid-century homes on the North End.
We use ECO Window Systems OEM components whenever dimensions match the original fabrication, especially for corner keys, hinge pivot pins, and sill tracks. For older non-impact ECO units where OEM is no longer produced, we source marine-grade 316 stainless aftermarket parts that exceed the original spec. When a failure is isolated to a seal, roller, or lock, we quote repair first. When the frame is salt-pitted through or cannot meet current FBC impact requirements, replacement is the only legal path, and we say so plainly.
ECO Window Systems Service Pricing in Palm Beach
ECO Window Systems service pricing in Palm Beach runs $180 to $340 for most hinge, roller, and seal repairs, with full-frame replacements starting around $900 per opening for standard sizes. Custom arched impact units on ARCOM-reviewed properties run significantly more due to engineering and submittal time. Palm Beach’s dual salt exposure means we often quote marine-grade hardware up front, which adds to parts cost but prevents a second repair call inside five years.
A free estimate from us includes measuring the opening, checking the frame for salt pitting, and a written line-item quote. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote on your ECO unit.

FAQs - ECO Window Systems Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
In many cases yes, but only if the replacement matches the original sight-line profile within ARCOM’s tolerances. ECO 6000 and 7000 Series narrow-profile casements have been approved on landmarked properties when the mullion width and frame depth mimic the original steel units. You’ll almost certainly need a variance if the new unit’s profile is thicker. Expect a four-to-six-week ARCOM submittal before fabrication. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you what’s approvable before you file.
Because Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with salt water on both sides. The Atlantic is east, the Intracoastal is west. Salt-laden air circulates across the island constantly and settles on aluminum surfaces even when you can’t see beach sand from your house. Standard inland hardware fails fast here. We recommend marine-grade stainless replacement hardware on any ECO repair in Palm Beach. Call (813) 320-9346 for an assessment.
Sometimes, but it depends on the seal condition and whether the frame is still structurally sound. If the compression seal has failed and the frame shows salt pitting at the corners, repair is a temporary measure. Interior-side fixed windows without severe corrosion can often be resealed economically. We’ll tell you if repair buys you five years or five months. Call (813) 320-9346 for an honest look.
Roller replacement is typically considered maintenance and does not require ARCOM review. The work stays inside the existing frame and doesn’t change the exterior appearance. If the track is corroded and needs replacement, that changes the visible profile and may trigger review. We handle the permit question on every service call so you don’t have to navigate Town Hall alone.
Because Palm Beach catches its most wind-driven rain from the southeast, and that’s the exposure that finds failed compression seals and worn glazing beads. A southeast squall pushes water against the window at pressure, and any gap in the seal becomes a leak. Arched ECO units are especially vulnerable at the top arc where thermal movement has been greatest. We locate the exact failure point and quote the seal replacement. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll diagnose it before the next storm.
