This page is written for the homeowner who has CWS units in the house and wants them to keep doing what they were bought to do: hold up in a storm and keep water on the outside. We’ll walk through how CWS windows fail in this climate, what we do differently on the jobsite, and what the work costs.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

In Boca Raton, where salt air and July humidity work on every opening in the house, CWS windows fail in patterns we’ve come to recognize. Here’s what we see most often:

• Interlocking sashes that won’t seat flush. On CWS casement and horizontal roller units, the interlock between the vent sash and the frame picks up grime and salt film over time. The sash looks closed from across the room, but it’s not fully engaged. That’s a leak waiting for the first tropical storm. We clean the interlock track, adjust the hardware, and confirm the sashes actually meet.
• Rollers that flat-spot or seize. CWS sliding glass doors and horizontal sliders are heavy, and the rollers take that weight every day. In Palm Beach County, sand and shell grit accelerate the wear. A seized roller means dragging, which means the lock may not align, which means the panel is not impact-secured. We replace rollers with load-rated parts matched to the panel weight, not the cheapest fit on the shelf.
• Weep-hole clogs that turn into sill rot. CWS frames drain through weep holes at the sill, and in Boca Raton those holes pack with pollen, mulch, and dirt. Once they clog, water sits inside the track. On older CWS aluminum units we have found sill corrosion behind the corner keys, hidden until the glass starts fogging. We clear the drains, treat the corrosion, and reseal the corners.
• Wind-load fatigue on larger fixed lites. Boca Raton sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. Big CWS picture windows that face east catch wind load year after year, and the glazing bead can work loose where the frame deflects. We pull the bead, reset the glass with fresh setting blocks, and re-beat the bead so the unit carries load the way the drawings intended.
• Hardware degradation on the CWS 700 and 800 series. These are common in mid-rise condos along the Boca Raton coast, and their multi-point locks are salt-exposed. We regularly see lock pawls that are worn but still “work” by hand, which gives a homeowner false confidence. We pull the lock, inspect the strike, and replace the mechanism when the engagement is no longer positive.

Our CWS Impact Windows Process

When you call us about a CWS window in Boca Raton, here’s how the job goes:

1. 1
   The call. A live person answers at (561) 264-1337. You tell us what the window or door is doing. We ask which model or series if you know it, what side of the house it’s on, and how long it’s been failing.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and diagnosis. We measure the opening twice. Every opening. Then we check the frame for square, the sash for deflection, and the hardware for engagement. We’re not guessing, and we’re not working from photos.
3. 3
   Written options, side by side. If it’s a repair, we quote OEM CWS parts where they’re still cost-effective and quality aftermarket parts where they’re stronger or more available. If it’s a replacement, we show CWS and a couple of comparable lines we install, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, on paper. Same opening, same glass package, line by line.
4. 4
   The work. Uniformed, background-checked technicians do the work. Sills are cleaned, tracks are vacuumed, hardware is tested under load. We don’t leave the job until the sash is square and the lock throws clean.
5. 5
   Warranty registration. On new units, both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Durations stated, copies handed to you. That’s our Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional.
6. 6
   The follow-through. Every job carries our Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fight, no phone tag.

What CWS Impact Windows Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s what we typically see in Boca Raton, depending on the unit and the scope:

• Hardware repair (lock replacement, roller swap, hinge adjustment): $185 to $450 per unit
• Seal repair or glass replacement in an existing CWS frame: $420 to $1,100 per unit, depending on lite size
• Full CWS impact window replacement (standard sizes): $1,800 to $4,600 per opening
• Full CWS impact sliding door replacement: $4,500 to $9,800, depending on panel count and glass package

The big swings are glass package, panel size, and whether the existing frame is square enough to reuse. Salt-exposed frames on the Intracoastal side cost more to remediate than inland jobs. We don’t change the number once we give it. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a written quote on the spot.
