New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

ECO Window Systems Energy-Efficient Windows in Hobe Sound: What to Know First
As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider in Hobe Sound, we install and replace energy-efficient windows from this line with written prices starting between $890 and $1,450 per opening for standard vinyl double-hungs with Low-E and argon, and we measure twice before ordering once. Most ECO Window Systems energy-efficient window jobs in Martin County move from survey to install in 10 to 14 business days, not because we rush, but because we do not reorder. This page is for the Hobe Sound homeowner who already has ECO Window Systems products, or is comparing them against PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows for a replacement, and wants the price on the page before making contact. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey. The number we write down is the number on the invoice.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ECO 3000 Series vinyl double-hung: seal failure between panes. We see this most often in Hobe Sound homes within three miles of the Intracoastal, where afternoon heat buildup on the west-facing glass meets the humidity coming off the water. The warm-edge spacer in early production runs of this series can creep under thermal cycling, and once argon escapes, you get the fog band you cannot wipe off. We replace the insulated glass unit with an OEM-spec IGU built to the same dimensions, or a quality aftermarket equivalent with a stainless steel spacer if the customer prefers, and we document the before-and-after sightline readings.
- ECO 5000 Series sliding glass door: roller track wear causing frame twist. The heavier laminated glass package in this energy-efficient line puts more load on the bottom rollers than the catalog suggests, especially when the door is left partially open and catches a cross-breeze off the St. Lucie Inlet. The frame twists microscopically, the weatherstrip no longer seats, and you feel the air leak at the sill. We pull the sash, square the frame with a laser level, and install OEM or upgraded stainless rollers rated for the actual sash weight.
- ECO aluminum single-hung: thermal break degradation at the sill. Older stock aluminum units without a full thermal break conduct heat straight into the frame, but even the improved ECO aluminum line can show separation at the polyamide barrier after a decade of salt-air exposure. We find this by running a thermal camera across the frame during our survey. Repair means full sash replacement with a thermally broken unit, or conversion to vinyl if the opening geometry allows.
- ECO Low-E coating haze from improper cleaning. This is owner-inflicted, not a defect, but it shows up on our surveys because the coating surface on ECO’s earlier soft-coat Low-E is less abrasion-resistant than some competitors. Ammonia-based cleaners etch the surface and reduce the SHGC performance you paid for. We document the damage, quote replacement glass if the efficiency loss is measurable, and leave written care instructions the customer keeps.
- ECO casement and awning: operator arm failure under wind load. The crank mechanism in the ECO 4000 Series uses a zinc alloy housing that corrodes faster than the stainless steel alternative when the weep holes clog with Hobe Sound’s fine coral dust. The sash drifts open, the seal breaks, and the energy rating goes with it. We clean the drainage path, replace the operator with an OEM or upgraded stainless unit, and test the closing force with a gauge.
Before
AfterOur ECO Window Systems Energy-Efficient Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives in uniform with license number visible, measures every rough opening twice, and records sightline, plumb, and square readings the customer keeps.
- 2
Product specification. We match the ECO Window Systems line to the opening’s performance need, not to inventory. If ECO’s lead time or specification does not fit, we explain why and present PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows alternatives with the same written pricing method.
- 3
Written quote. Haven Clause 1: the price is fixed before any work starts. The measured survey and the quote are the same document. No change orders.
- 4
Parts procurement. OEM ECO Window Systems components when available and warranted; quality aftermarket when the OEM part is obsolete or the customer prefers. We document the origin of every component.
- 5
Installation and testing. We install to the measured spec, verify operation, check the seal with a smoke pencil, and photograph the completed work for the customer’s record.
- 6
Cleanup and documentation. The customer receives the photo record, the written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and a copy of the final invoice matching the original quote.

What moves the price: size, glazing package (double-pane vs. laminated impact-rated), frame material (vinyl vs. aluminum thermal break), and whether the opening needs structural remediation from prior water intrusion. We see the last one more than we should in Hobe Sound homes built during the 2004-2007 rush, where flashing details were sometimes skipped. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote on your openings - estimates are free, and the price we write is the price you pay.

FAQs
No. As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we use OEM-spec or equivalent parts and document every component origin, which satisfies the warranty’s maintenance and repair provisions. We have never had a warranty claim denied due to our workmanship. If you have concerns about a specific warranty term, bring your documents to the free estimate and we will review them with you. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule.
Vinyl frames with quality Low-E/argon packages typically perform for 15 to 20 years in Martin County, though units within a mile of salt water may show earlier hardware corrosion if weep holes are not maintained. The glass seal itself is the most common failure point we see at year 8 to 12. We assess this during our survey and tell you what we find, not what we hope. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Replace when the frame is out of square, the thermal break is compromised, or the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of replacement. Repair when the issue is isolated to glass seal failure, hardware, or weatherstrip, and the frame is still plumb and square. We make this recommendation in writing during the survey, with both options priced. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We maintain relationships with aftermarket suppliers who fabricate to ECO’s original specifications, and we can often source hardware and IGUs even for lines ECO no longer produces. When an exact match is impossible, we explain the substitute in writing before ordering. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Measured surveys are typically scheduled within 3 to 5 business days of your call. Installation follows 10 to 14 business days after quote acceptance, assuming no custom glass or specialty orders. We do not promise same-day installation on planned replacement work; that would require us to measure once and hope, which is not how we operate. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
