The Story

She wanted the look of a South Florida home

Miss D. lives in a beautiful Mediterranean-style home in a gated community in Lutz. Her original white, non-impact windows were showing their age, and some frames were cracking along the stucco.

At her first meeting with our sales manager, Mr. M. Cohen, Miss D. shared her vision: the clean, modern look of a Miami home, without giving up hurricane protection. Together they chose ECO Window Systems aluminum impact windows and doors in a bronze finish. Slim, dark frames make the stucco, the arches and the pool view stand out.

  • Every product Miami-Dade approved and impact-rated, replacing non-impact glass
  • Bronze color change approved by the HOA before work began
  • Final measurements, HOA approval, permits, direct-from-manufacturer custom production, installation, stucco and drywall repair, and final inspection, all handled by our team

From Start to Finish

How we delivered this project

One team, one point of contact and a clear plan. Here’s exactly what happened, step by step.

May 17, 2026

Consultation & Measurements

Mr. M. Cohen met Miss D. at her home, walked every elevation with her, took measurements and documented each opening. She chose ECO Window Systems aluminum impact units in bronze for a modern South Florida look.

Before Installation

Final Measurements, HOA, Permits & Production

We took final measurements of every opening, secured HOA approval for the color change from white to bronze, and pulled the permits. Then every unit was custom-built to those measurements, ordered direct from the manufacturer with no middleman. Miss D. didn’t have to deal with any of it.

We Treat Your Home Like Our Own

How we protect every home before we start

Replacing windows shouldn’t mean dust on your furniture or scratches on your floors. Before the first old window came out, our crew laid protective paper along every walkway, covered the floors with drop cloths and wrapped furniture, shelves and the fireplace wall in plastic.

These are real videos our crew recorded at Miss D.’s home on Day 1, while setting up inside before any work began. The home stays protected like this every day until the job is done.

  • Protective paper on every walkway and floor
  • Furniture, shelves and décor wrapped in plastic
  • Work areas cleaned at the end of every day
Day 1: walkways covered and furniture wrapped
Day 1: floors and furniture protected before work begins
