AfterCWS Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service CWS windows and doors across Atlantis, FL as an independent provider - we’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, and we don’t pretend to be. Our CWS work here is shaped by one fact most contractors miss: Atlantis operates like a private community association, so your replacement has to pass both Palm Beach County’s impact code and the city’s unwritten aesthetic review. That dual standard is where we spend most of our time. If you need CWS service or replacement in Atlantis, call (954) 280-4413 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Atlantis Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Our crew has serviced CWS windows and doors in Palm Beach County for over 15 years, including full-frame replacements of CWS aluminum sliders and fixed picture units in Atlantis’ original 1960s-1980s homes. That’s long enough to know CWS frame profiles, glass specs, and hurricane retrofitting the way you know a neighbor’s roofline. We carry the 900 Series slider track dimensions in our heads, not a catalog.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after growing up around South Florida glass - jalousie resealing, humidity, salt air, the whole trade. He learned the fundamentals at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and every job still runs on his rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Around Atlantis that means measuring twice before a crew ever touches a truck, because the city’s aesthetic review won’t accept a frame color or grid pattern that’s close enough. It has to match.
We’re local, background-checked, and uniformed. A live person answers the phone 24/7. And every estimate comes as a written, line-item quote - side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying before you spend a dollar.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Atlantis
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and tracks. Atlantis sits in Palm Beach County’s coastal zone, and the salt air works on raw aluminum like a slow grinder. We see CWS 900 Series sliders with tracks pitted so badly the rollers can’t seat. The door binds, the seal fails, and water finds its way in. If the frame is structurally sound, we restore it; if it’s corroded through, we tell you plainly.
- Failed insulating glass units in original CWS fixed and sliding units. Fogging between the panes on a 40-year-old picture window means the seal is gone. You can’t reseal an IGU - it gets replaced, and in Atlantis that replacement must be impact-rated to meet current wind-borne debris rules. We explain that before we quote it.
- Worn rollers, locks, and guides on CWS sliding doors. A CWS sliding door that scrapes or won’t latch isn’t just annoying - it’s not sealing against wind and rain. We replace rollers, keepers, and weatherstripping with authentic CWS parts when they’re still available, and precision-matched aftermarket hardware when they’re not.
- Non-impact-rated CWS glazing from original construction. Most Atlantis homes went up between the 1950s and 1980s, before Florida’s modern impact code. The original CWS glass won’t pass a wind-load review today. That’s not a glass-only fix - it’s a full-frame replacement, and we’ll show you the code requirement in writing.
- CWS jalousie windows that leak during storms. The 600 Series jalousie was a hallmark of the era, and it’s still everywhere in Atlantis. The original design simply can’t be retrofitted to meet current impact standards. We replace them with the 800 Series single hung or a fixed impact unit, matched to the home’s grid pattern and frame color.
CWS Service in Atlantis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Atlantis that most contractors from outside the city never learn: the city government functions more like a private community association, and it enforces unwritten architectural standards on top of the Palm Beach County permit. You can have a county-approved impact replacement sitting on a truck, and Atlantis can still flag it for the wrong frame color, the wrong grid pattern, or an exterior profile that doesn’t match the original CWS line. A block outside city limits, that callback never happens. Here, it happens regularly.
When we handled our Door Installation in Atlantis for a corroded CWS 900 Series sliding glass door in the Wedgewood subdivision, the original aluminum track had pitted from decades of salt air and the rollers had seized. The homeowner needed code-compliant impact glazing, so we pulled the non-impact CWS door and installed a full-frame impact-rated unit with a matching white finish and the same grid layout. It satisfied the county’s wind-load requirements and passed Atlantis’ aesthetic review on the first pass. That’s the standard we build every Atlantis quote to: pass both, the first time, because Dale’s rule applies here more than anywhere - if it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
For CWS owners, this means one practical thing. Before you replace anything, you need a contractor who knows not just the CWS line, but what Atlantis will accept. We do both. CWS sales & service calls come to us from homeowners who’ve already had one bid bounced back by the city.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Atlantis
We service the CWS lines you actually have in your home: the 900 Series aluminum sliding glass door, the 800 Series single hung window, the 700 Series fixed/picture window, and the 600 Series jalousie. We source authentic CWS replacement parts - rollers, corner keys, keepers, weatherstripping - when they’re still available from distributors. For obsolete jalousie and early aluminum series, we use precision-matched aftermarket hardware and new impact-rated IGUs to restore function. Our honest stance, stated plainly: if the CWS frame is structurally sound and already impact-rated, we repair. If it’s non-impact or corroded through, full-frame replacement is the only code-compliant fix. We’ll tell you which one you need, and why, before any work starts. This includes our Window Installation in Atlantis, full-frame replacement, and impact sliding glass doors - the three jobs that make up nearly every CWS call we take in Atlantis.
CWS Service Pricing in Atlantis
What you’ll pay depends on what you need, and we’d rather give you a real number than a vague range. Here’s how it breaks down in Atlantis, where coastal corrosion and the city’s aesthetic review add specific steps:
- Roller and hardware replacement on a CWS slider: Closer to the low end of our repair range. Straight parts-and-labor job.
- Failed IGU replacement in a fixed picture unit: Mid-range. The glass is impact-rated, which costs more than standard, but it’s the law.
- Full-frame CWS slider or picture window replacement: The higher end. You’re paying for the unit, the frame, the install, and the aesthetic matching Atlantis requires.
- Whole-home CWS retrofit: The broadest range. Depends on the number of openings and how much frame work is left.
Every estimate is free and written line-by-line. The Done Right Promise applies to the work, and The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. No surprises on the bill, no fine print that covers nothing. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote on your CWS work in Atlantis - we’ll give you a number you can plan around.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Atlantis
No - if your existing CWS slider was installed before modern impact standards, which is most of Atlantis’ housing stock, the frame itself isn’t rated to carry the wind load. Glass-only retrofits typically won’t pass Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements. You need a full-frame replacement with an impact-rated unit. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you exactly what your door needs.
That’s salt-air oxidation, and it’s common in Atlantis because of the coastal exposure. The salt in the air reacts with the aluminum, pitting the surface and eventually compromising the seal. If the corrosion is surface-level, we can often clean and restore it. If it’s pitted through the frame, the unit needs replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 to have us evaluate it.
Yes, quite possibly. Atlantis enforces aesthetic standards on top of county permits - frame color, grid pattern, exterior profile all get reviewed. That’s exactly why we spec every Atlantis quote to match the original CWS line’s look. We’d rather prepare for the review than get it bounced. Call (954) 280-4413 to talk through your specific opening.
No. The original CWS 600 Series jalousie design can’t be retrofitted to meet current Florida impact standards. The louvers simply aren’t rated for the wind-borne debris rule. The code-compliant fix is replacement with an impact-rated single hung or fixed unit, matched to the home’s existing look. Call (954) 280-4413 for a line-item quote.
Yes, when it makes sense. If the CWS frame is structurally sound and the hardware is the only issue, we replace rollers, locks, keepers, and weatherstripping as needed. We only recommend full-frame replacement when the unit is non-impact-rated or corroded through. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll give you our honest call on repairs versus replacement.
