CWS Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CWS service across Boca Raton, from Boca West to the barrier island. Our techs have worked on CWS 8500, 7800, 4800, and 3000 Series products in this city for over a decade. The one thing that makes our CWS work here different is that we plan every job around your HOA’s Architectural Review Committee timeline, not just the repair itself.

Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Dale Kessler grew up in the Boca Teeca neighborhood, and our shop has been setting and sealing windows across Palm Beach County since 2008. We know CWS product lines the way you know your own house. We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is independent, which means we tell you when a part will hold and when it won’t. We stock the proprietary rollers, latches, and weatherstripping that CWS windows and doors need as they age, and when a part isn’t available, we tell you that too, then offer a marine-grade alternative that actually outlasts the original in Boca’s salt air.
Our CWS CWS sales & service work spans the whole Boca Raton service area, and we price repairs against what replacement actually costs in this city, not some national average. When the rebuild cost exceeds 40 to 50 percent of a new impact-rated unit, we say so in writing and show you both numbers side by side. That’s the square deal Dale has kept on the whiteboard since 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Salt-air pitting on CWS 8500 aluminum frames. Within a half-mile of the Intracoastal, raw aluminum develops white oxidation and pitting that makes sashes stick and frames look decades older than they are. We clean, treat, and re-seal what’s salvageable, and we tell you straight when the frame has gone too far.
- Corroded steel rollers on CWS 7800 sliding glass doors. East Boca units fail years before west Boca ones. Original steel rollers grind against aluminum tracks until the panel won’t move without a fight. We pull the panel, replace the rollers with marine-grade stainless, and dress the track.
- Brittle, shrunken weatherstripping. On both the 8500 and 7800 lines, original weatherstripping turns brittle after two decades of salt and sun. You get air leaks, water intrusion during summer storms, and failed wind-mitigation inspections. We replace it with high-durometer material that compresses clean and seals tight.
- Broken locking levers and keeper hooks on CWS casement operators. Weak or snapped hardware means the window won’t seal tightly enough to pass an insurance impact test. We rebuild the operator assembly and test the seal before we leave.
- Stuck or jammed CWS 3000 fixed and picture windows. These don’t open by design, but failed glazing seals and corroded perimeter frames are common. We’re careful to assess whether the glass is single-pane non-impact before recommending any work, because that changes the math on replacement.
CWS Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part most out-of-town contractors miss. Boca Raton’s HOA Architectural Review Committees in Boca West, Broken Sound, and Woodfield require a CWS product approval sheet, a NOA number, and color-chip sign-off before the city will even initiate a permit inspection. That adds a two to four week buffer to any job involving visible product changes. Neighboring Delray Beach and Deerfield Beach rarely deal with this. If you skip the ARC submittal, you risk a stop-work order and a re-do. We build that buffer into every proposal as standard practice and handle the paperwork submission ourselves. For CWS owners, this means the repair-or-replace conversation happens before any work is scheduled, not after the building department calls.
Last fall we rebuilt a six-panel CWS 7800 sliding glass door in a second-floor condo on South Ocean Boulevard as part of our Door Installation in Boca Raton. The original steel rollers had corroded into the aluminum track. We removed the panels, ground out the pitted track, installed marine-grade stainless rollers and new interlocking weatherstripping, and the door now glides with one hand. No full replacement needed, but we documented every old part for the owner’s insurance wind-mitigation file. That’s the kind of detail Boca Raton HOAs and insurance carriers won’t take on faith.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We service the full CWS aluminum lineup still common in this city’s 1960s through 1980s housing stock: the 8500 Series single-hung and sliding windows, 7800 Series sliding glass doors, 4800 Series casement and awning windows, and 3000 Series fixed and picture windows. Parts-wise, we use genuine NOS CWS components when they’re available, especially rollers, latches, and balance systems. For common wear items like weatherstripping and rollers, we install proven aftermarket marine-grade stainless or high-durometer equivalents that hold up better in Boca Raton’s salt air than what the factory put in originally. When CWS frames are pitted beyond repair or the glass is single-pane non-impact, we give you an honest repair-versus-replace quote with no pressure. If the rebuild price exceeds 40 to 50 percent of a new impact-rated unit, we recommend our Window Installation in Boca Raton and show you why.
CWS Service Pricing in Boca Raton
What a CWS repair costs in Boca Raton depends on what failed and where the building sits. A roller replacement on a CWS 7800 sliding door might run $180 to $340. Weatherstripping replacement on an 8500 window typically falls between $120 and $240 per unit. Full operator rebuilds on casement or awning windows range from $220 to $480. If your property is east of U.S. 1 or within a half-mile of the Intracoastal, expect more corrosion-related labor. Our free estimate includes a written line-item breakdown, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Most pitted CWS 8500 frames can be saved if the pitting is surface-level and the frame is still square. We clean the oxidation, treat the aluminum, and re-seal the frame. If the pitting has eaten through the frame wall or compromised the corners, replacement is the honest answer. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll assess it in person.
Yes. Boca West’s Architectural Review Committee requires a CWS product approval sheet, NOA number, and color-chip sign-off before the city will schedule a permit inspection. We handle that submittal for you and build the two to four week buffer into the project timeline so you’re never waiting on paperwork we should have filed.
Almost certainly. Original CWS 7800 Series steel rollers corrode in salt air, especially within a half-mile of the Intracoastal, and the grinding is metal dragging on a pitted aluminum track. The fix is removing the panel, installing marine-grade stainless rollers, and dressing the track. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate, we’ll have one of our techs look at it.
Salt air. East Boca sits closer to the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so raw aluminum frames oxidize faster, steel hardware rusts sooner, and weatherstripping degrades quicker. The same CWS 8500 window that runs smoothly in west Boca may be pitted and stuck east of U.S. 1 after the same number of years. Our repair approach accounts for that difference.
In most cases, no. A non-impact CWS window generally can’t be retrofitted to meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. We can improve the seal, replace the hardware, and document the work for your insurance file, but true code compliance on opening protection usually means an impact-rated replacement. We’ll show you both options in writing.
