We provide independent CWS windows and doors service throughout Plantation, Florida, from single-sash repairs to full impact-rated replacements.

We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and that’s the point. You get straight advice on whether to repair or replace without any brand-loyalty pressure. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.

Our crew has been pulling CWS units out of Plantation homes for years. We know the failure patterns, we know which parts are still available, and we know what a Miami-Dade NOA means when the inspector shows up. If your CWS windows are fogged, binding, corroding, or leaking, we’ll tell you exactly what you’re dealing with and what it’ll take to fix it right. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. See our CWS sales & service page for the full scope of what we handle across Broward County.

Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for CWS Service

Dale Kessler founded TruePane because he got tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties that nobody would stand behind. He grew up in Fort Lauderdale’s Sailboat Bend and still handles CWS repair in Fort Lauderdale, went through the construction trades program at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and spent nearly two decades working glass and framing across South Florida’s coastal corridor. That’s the foundation under every CWS job we do in Plantation.

What that means for you is practical. We measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And we put our Done Right Promise on every job: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

We’re local. We hire local technicians, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor community events because we plan to be here in thirty years, not three. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a CWS window fails in July and you need someone who actually picks up, that matters.

Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Plantation

• Corroded CWS aluminum frames. We see CWS aluminum frames in Plantation develop severe oxidation at the frame corners and along the meeting rails within five to seven years. Salt-laden air carried inland from the coast, combined with year-round humidity, eats through the aluminum faster than homeowners expect. Once the flange corrodes where it meets the stucco, the window is no longer sealing anything.
• Original single-pane glass failing HVHZ impact standards. CWS single-hung sashes with original single-pane glass fail Broward County’s large-missile impact tests outright. Many of these frames also lack the reinforcement tabs needed for a retrofit anchor. We’ll tell you straight: in most cases, repair isn’t legal or safe, and a full frame replacement is the only path to code compliance.
• Sticking CWS sliding glass doors in Plantation Acres. In the Acres, sliding glass doors frequently rack out of square in their tracks because the original rough openings were never squared to standard dimensions. That leaves permanent misalignment and air leakage at the interlocks. A contractor who’s never worked that neighborhood will keep adjusting rollers and never fix the actual problem.
• Crumbling weatherstripping and binding sashes. The original CWS weatherstripping in Plantation homes dries out and crumbles within a few years. Fine dust and South Florida moisture get into the track, sashes bind, locks fail under pressure. This one is usually repairable, but it has to be caught before the track itself wears down.
• Water staining around CWS casement frames. We pulled a 1979 CWS 7000 Series casement out of a Jacaranda subdivision rancher after the homeowner complained of water staining around the frame. The aluminum flange had corroded all the way through where the stucco met the buck. The fix involved measuring a non-standard rough opening, ordering a custom HVHZ impact-rated replacement with a Miami-Dade NOA, and re-flashing the entire perimeter with new anchor bolts into the block.

CWS Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s something you won’t find on a generic CWS service page. Plantation falls entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window or door, even a single unit, must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance and be installed to the most stringent product-approval standards in the United States. That’s a legal obligation, not a recommendation. Combine that with Plantation’s large inventory of pre-1992 CBS ranch homes still fitted with original single-pane aluminum-frame and jalousie windows, and you get a replacement market unlike anything in Palm Beach County or CWS service in Margate just 20 miles north.

For CWS owners specifically, this means the original units in most Plantation homes were never built to meet today’s code. The frames, the glass, the anchoring, all of it predates Hurricane Andrew-era requirements. We don’t just swap hardware. We assess whether your existing CWS frame can even legally stay in the wall, and we quote accordingly. That’s the kind of local knowledge that keeps you from paying for a repair that fails inspection.

There’s another layer in Plantation Acres. The western estate-lot enclave has oversized and non-standard rough openings because homes were custom-built before modular window sizing was common. Any impact-rated CWS replacement there must be custom-fabricated to HVHZ specs, which adds weeks of lead time and cost that contractors who don’t know the Acres routinely underquote. We measure for that from day one. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.

CWS Models & Products We Service in Plantation

We service the CWS 7000 Series Impact Casement, the CWS 8100 Series Single Hung, the CWS 9500 Series Sliding Glass Door, and the CWS 5000 Series Awning Window. Those are the lines we see most often in Plantation homes, and we know their specific weak points. When genuine CWS hardware is still available and can be restored to original spec, we use it. For older and discontinued lines, we source Miami-Dade-approved aftermarket parts that meet the same NOA design pressures. We’ll never tell you to replace an entire CWS window because a $30 spiral balance or latch broke. We keep common CWS parts stocked locally so a Plantation service call doesn’t turn into a two-week wait.
