We provide independent ECO Window Systems service across Fort Myers, from single-hung impact window repairs to full sliding glass door replacements.

Call (239) 323-5522 for a free estimate on any ECO Window Systems window or door in Fort Myers.
Why Fort Myers Residents Choose Us for ECO Window Systems Service
Dale Kessler built TruePane Windows & Doors around a rule that’s been on his whiteboard since 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re a second-generation glazing operation, not a franchise playbook, and we’ve been serving Lee County for over 42 years. Our team has spent years rebuilding and retrofitting ECO Window Systems products across Fort Myers’s post-Ian landscape, which gives us direct, hands-on familiarity with every ECO frame series, its hardware quirks, and how its Impact Windows - Fort Myers configurations behave under our UV, salt air, and humidity. We are an independent service provider – not affiliated with or authorized by ECO Window Systems – but our repair and replacement volume in this market means we see failure patterns most installers never encounter.
Every call is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. When you call about an ECO window, you get someone who has pulled that exact frame out of a stucco CBS home on this side of the Caloosahatchee.

Common ECO Window Systems Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Fort Myers
After years of post-Ian service calls across Lee County, these are the ECO-specific failures we see most often. Each one is shaped by Fort Myers conditions, not generic wear and tear.
- Vinyl frame warping and UV bleaching on ECO 2000 Series units. Fort Myers’s year-round sun is brutal on south- and west-facing vinyl. The ECO 2000 Series frames chalk, expand, and eventually bind the sashes, which snaps balance springs years before they should fail. We see this constantly on homes in older Gateway neighborhoods where the original windows date to the early 2000s. Once the vinyl has UV-embrittled, we recommend full unit replacement rather than band-aid fixes.
- Salt corrosion on ECO 1000 and 3000 Series aluminum tracks and rollers. Homes within two miles of the Gulf coast get hammered by salt-laden air. Aluminum tracks on ECO 1000 single-hung impact windows and 3000 Series sliders pit and corrode, and the brass rollers grind grooves into the rail until the window or door will barely move. We repair frames, sashes, and rollers when the track is structurally sound; once the aluminum is pitted, replacement is the honest answer.
- Glazing bead shrinkage and cracking on older ECO Classic Series windows. The exterior glazing bead on non-impact ECO Classic units shrinks and cracks under Fort Myers’s heat and humidity, allowing water to intrude behind the stucco. The rot that follows usually stays hidden until we pull the window for replacement. If you have original 1990s Classic Series windows, the water damage is often already underway.
- Loss of design-pressure compliance on early-2000s ECO impact windows. Many ECO impact windows installed between 2000 and 2008 no longer meet current Florida Product Approval re-certification standards because the original fasteners and mullions have degraded. Post-Ian, Fort Myers inspectors check this on every permit. We flag it up front before you get blindsided at the inspection counter.
- Jammed lower sashes on ECO 1000 Series single-hungs. The combination of salt pitting and UV-baked vinyl glazing beads means the lower sash on these aluminum impact windows seizes. Often the homeowner thinks it’s a simple balance replacement, but the track damage underneath tells a different story once we’re inside the frame.
ECO Window Systems Service in Fort Myers: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Fort Myers was the direct landfall point for Hurricane Ian in 2022, Lee County’s building department now treats every window and door swap on homes built before 2002 as a permit-required upgrade – never a like-for-like maintenance job. That means a homeowner on a quiet street in Lehigh Acres with a cracked ECO Classic sash is often required by the inspector to replace the entire opening with Florida Product Approval-rated impact glass. The scope changes fast, and so does the cost. This does not happen in Tampa or Orlando, where non-impact replacement is still routinely permitted.
Our crew pulled a 1998 ECO 1000 Series single-hung impact window from a house on Columbus Boulevard after the homeowner called about a jammed lower sash. The aluminum track was so badly pitted from Gulf salt that the brass roller had ground grooves into the rail and the vinyl glazing bead was leaking water behind the stucco. We quoted our Window Installation in Fort Myers with a current ECO 2000 Series impact-rated unit to meet Lee County’s DP requirements, and the inspector approved it without a re-inspection because we pre-loaded the Florida Product Approval documentation. That’s the difference between knowing the code and knowing how Fort Myers inspectors apply it.
ECO Window Systems Models & Products We Service in Fort Myers
We work on the full ECO Window Systems residential lineup, including the ECO 1000 Series aluminum single-hung impact windows, ECO 2000 Series vinyl single and double-hung impact windows, ECO 3000 Series horizontal roller and sliding glass doors, and the non-impact ECO Classic Series vinyl windows. We use factory-spec ECO balance assemblies and weatherstripping where available to preserve warranty continuity and fitment. For discontinued Classic Series hardware, we source high-quality aftermarket equivalents that match the original load ratings and channel profiles – we won’t put an under-spec part in your frame just to make a quick repair.
We stock common ECO balance springs, rollers, and glazing beads for fast Fort Myers turnaround, and we bring side-by-side manufacturer quotes on paper so the homeowner sees exactly what they’re buying before they sign anything.
ECO Window Systems Service Pricing in Fort Myers
Most ECO Window Systems repairs in Fort Myers fall into predictable ranges depending on the frame series and the damage. A single-hung sash balance replacement typically runs $120 to $220 per window. Roller assembly replacement on a 3000 Series slider is usually $180 to $320 per panel. Full IGU glass replacement for an impact unit runs $350 to $700 per window, depending on size and DP rating. Full impact window replacement on a pre-2002 home – often required by Lee County code – starts around $1,200 per opening and climbs with size and design pressure requirements.
What drives the cost is what the inspector will accept. If your home predates 2002, a cracked ECO Classic sash is rarely a $100 repair anymore. A free estimate from us includes a written line-item quote, the permit scope spelled out, and both warranty layers ready to register. If it is not in writing, it is not a promise. Call (239) 323-5522 for an exact quote – estimates are free, and we don’t add surprise line items on the bill.

FAQs - ECO Window Systems Windows & Doors in Fort Myers
Yes, in most cases. Fort Myers homes built before 2002 fall under Lee County’s post-Ian permitting rules, which treat any window or door swap as a permit-required upgrade to Florida Product Approval-rated impact glass. You can’t do a like-for-like non-impact replacement on those openings. Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll tell you exactly what your home requires before you spend anything.
That chalkiness is UV bleaching, and the binding comes from vinyl that has expanded and embrittled after years of direct Fort Myers sun. The frame warps just enough to pinch the sash, which then breaks the balance springs. Once the vinyl reaches that state, replacing the balances alone won’t last. We’ll show you the frame condition on the estimate so you can decide with open eyes.
If the aluminum track is pitted and the rollers have ground grooves into the rail, you’re chasing a symptom. Fort Myers’s Gulf salt air corrodes the track itself, not just the roller wheels. We repair rollers when the track is clean and the frame is sound. When the track is pitted, a full panel or door replacement is the square deal. We’ll tell you which one you have.
Often, yes – if the frame, track, and fasteners still meet current Florida Product Approval re-certification standards. If the frame is sound and the glass is the only issue, we replace the insulated glass unit as a standalone job. If the frame fasteners or mullions have degraded, the inspector may require a full unit swap. Either way, call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll put the scope in writing before you commit.
Fort Myers insurance carriers are dropping or repricing policies on homes without documented impact protection, particularly after Ian. Your ECO windows may be perfectly functional by everyday standards, but if they carry no current Florida Product Approval rating for your home’s wind zone, the carrier will not underwrite the risk. This is a Fort Myers-specific pressure point, and it’s one of the main reasons we quote so many full impact replacements now.
