How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS Series 600 double-hung units with fogged glass: We see this constantly in Boca Raton homes built between 1998 and 2008. The factory seal around the insulated glass unit (IGU) fails first along the lower sash corners, where Florida humidity works its way in. The Low-E coating oxidizes, the window clouds, and the argon gas escapes. We replace the IGU with a dual-sealed unit matched to the original Low-E spec (cardinal glass, most often), not a generic double-pane from a supply house. The original CWS frame is usually fine; the glass simply failed. That’s a $300-$600 repair, not a $1,800 replacement.
• CWS sliders in Boca Teeca and Mizner Country Club homes with worn weatherstripping: Older CWS horizontal sliders used a compression weatherstrip that turns brittle after 12-15 years in direct salt air. Once it cracks, you get a constant draft and humidity infiltration that your AC fights all summer. We replace the weatherstripping with a marine-grade bulb seal rated for coastal exposure, and we adjust the roller tension while we’re in there. Most owners don’t need new windows; they need new seals around the sashes they already have.
• CWS Series 400 casement windows with dropped or sagging sashes: The casement’s friction stay hinge can wear unevenly on the hinge-side jamb, especially in west-facing rooms where the afternoon sun bakes the hardware. The sash drops a fraction of an inch, the seal breaks, and your energy bill picks up the tab. We realign or replace the friction stay, re-square the sash against the frame, and reseal the weatherstrip channel. Done right, the window closes like it did the day it was installed.
• CWS fixed and picture windows with blown edge seals on the south-facing wall: Boca Raton’s UV load is brutal. A fixed CWS picture window that sits in direct sun from noon to sunset can blow its edge seal in as few as eight years. The telltale sign is a milky haze that appears around the perimeter first, then creeps toward center. We replace the IGU with a Low-E coated, argon-filled unit, and we often recommend a slight upgrade to a Low-E3 coating for south-facing installations because it cuts the solar heat gain without noticeably darkening the glass. This is where a free estimate with a written line-item breakdown pays for itself.
• CWS Series 700 single-hung windows with failed balance systems: When the spiral balance or block-and-tackle balance fails in a CWS single-hung, the upper sash drifts, the lower sash doesn’t stay up, and the air seal around the sash is compromised. The energy problem starts as a mechanical one. We replace the balance system with an OEM-matching spiral balance where available, or a quality aftermarket equivalent where CWS has discontinued the part. Either way, the window seals properly again, and your AC stops working overtime.

Our CWS Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person, any hour: A live person answers at (561) 264-1337, 24 hours a day. Tell us what brand and model you have and what the window is doing. If you can read the CWS model sticker or etching off the glass, that helps us bring the right parts on the first visit.
2. 2
   On-site inspection and measurements: A background-checked, uniformed technician visits your Boca Raton home, measures every affected opening twice, and checks the frame, the glass, the seals, the balance system, and the surrounding wall for moisture intrusion. We do not quote a repair without seeing the window; too many CWS failures look identical on the surface but have different causes beneath.
3. 3
   Side-by-side options on paper: We show you what your CWS window needs, what OEM parts cost versus a quality aftermarket equivalent, and what a repair versus a full replacement would run. If you’re replacing, we quote manufacturer lines side by side so you can see exactly what you’re buying. No verbal estimates, no vague hand waves.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement: Most CWS repairs are completed in a single visit. For full replacements, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. This is The Keystone Standard, and it goes on every job.
5. 5
   The seal test: After the work, we check the finished window with a smoke pen and thermal imaging camera to confirm the air seal is tight and the glass is performing. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done. That’s the rule.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the Done Right Promise: We leave the work area clean, walk you through what we did and why, and hand you the written warranty paperwork. If anything isn’t done right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print.

What CWS Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Boca Raton

• CWS IGU (glass) replacement for a fogged double-pane: $275-$600 per window, depending on size and glass spec. Most CWS Series 600 double-hungs fall in the $350-$450 range.
• CWS weatherstripping and seal replacement for a drafty slider: $150-$400 per window, including roller adjustment and a clean, square reseal.
• CWS casement friction stay replacement with sash realignment: $180-$350 per window, parts and labor.
• Full CWS window replacement (mid-size double-hung, installed): $1,100-$2,400 per opening, depending on frame material, glass package, and accessibility of the opening. Impact-rated upgrades run higher.
• Whole-house energy audit for CWS windows: We inspect every window in the home, identify every air leak and failed seal, and give you a written, priority-ranked report. The audit fee is waived when you schedule any repair or replacement with us.

What moves the price: the size of the unit, whether it’s on a second story or accessed by ladder, whether the frame is salvageable or needs a full retrofit, and whether you’re replacing glass only or glass plus sash. We write a fixed, line-item quote before work starts, and the price on that piece of paper is the price on the bill. Call (561) 264-1337 to schedule a free estimate.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We’re not the cheapest bid in Boca Raton, and we don’t try to be. We’re the last call. Dale Kessler grew up in the Boca Teeca neighborhood, and he started TruePane after watching too many homeowners accept a low bid on a window install and then spend three years fighting a fogged seal and a contractor who stopped answering the phone. We’ve served this area since 2008, and we plan to be here in thirty more. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. We service CWS windows with OEM-matching parts where available and quality aftermarket where they’re better, and we’re authorized installers for more than a dozen other manufacturer lines, including, PGT. When a repair doesn’t justify itself, we’ll tell you. When a replacement does, we’ll show you side-by-side quotes on paper so you know exactly what you’re paying for. That’s a square deal, and we stand behind it.
