Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most window companies in Broward County will work on anything. We would rather do a handful of product lines well than a dozen badly. CWS is one of the lines Dale Kessler has kept close since he founded TruePane in 2008. Dale grew up in the Sailboat Bend neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows and cursing the humidity. He learned the framing and glazing fundamentals at McFatter Technical College in Davie, then spent nearly two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor. That background matters when a pre-2000 CWS unit in Sunrise has frame oxidation from driven rain and a rough opening that crumbles the moment you pull the old frame.
We stock OEM CWS parts for the components that count: impact-rated sashes, locking mechanisms, and hardware that must maintain Miami-Dade compliance. For seals and weatherstripping, we use high-quality aftermarket equivalents where performance is proven and the price to you is lower. Homeowners in Sunrise deal with intense afternoon convective storms that push water into aging aluminum frames. They need a service provider who understands that pattern, not a technician who just swaps glass. Our live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You call, a person picks up. That has never changed here.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Aluminum frame oxidation and sill rot. Sunrise sits inland with no coastal buffer, fully exposed to wind loads and afternoon storms that drive rain sideways into aging frames. On pre-2000 CWS single-pane units, that repeated wet-dry cycle accelerates frame oxidation. We see pitted frames and rotted sills regularly, especially on homes built in the 1970s and 1980s.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion complications. A significant share of Sunrise’s 1960s and 1970s HOA communities still have original CWS louvered units. When we remove them, the rough opening often has crumbling CBS block edges, a condition we rarely see to this degree in newer cities like Weston or Coral Springs. We reframe, re-flash, and re-anchor before the new unit goes in.
- Failed gaskets and seals on CWS sliding glass doors. Wind-driven rain in Sunrise gets past worn gaskets on older CWS 5000 Series sliding glass doors. Many homeowners end up replacing weatherstripping nearly every year if the frame has shifted. We replace seals with aftermarket equivalents that hold up and we tell you honestly when a full door replacement is the better call.
- Non-impact CWS windows failing current HVHZ wind-load requirements. Sunrise falls entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means every CWS replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Older non-impact units often do not. When an insurance company mandates a full-perimeter retrofit, we handle the product selection, the permit, and the inspection.
- CWS 400 Series impact casement hardware wear. Impact-rated hardware works hard in Sunrise. Salt is not the issue here the way it is on the coast, but humidity and heat still take a toll on locking mechanisms. We replace worn hardware with OEM parts so the unit keeps its NOA compliance and your insurance discount stays intact.
CWS Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the Sunrise-specific fact that shapes every CWS job we do here: Sunrise falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for impact resistance and requires a permitted inspection. That requirement does not apply to customers just across the county line in Palm Beach County. For a Sunrise homeowner with an aging CWS 2000 Single Hung or a tired CWS 5000 Series sliding door, that single code fact changes the whole conversation. If you need our Door Installation in Sunrise, we never quote without first confirming the product carries the right NOA number stamped on the frame. We never quote a window without first confirming the product carries the right NOA number stamped on the frame. We have seen homeowners buy windows from a big-box store, schedule an install, and fail their first inspection because the product was not NOA-approved for HVHZ use. In Sunrise, that mistake costs time, permit fees, and sometimes an entire second window purchase. Dale has a rule about this that applies to every CWS job we quote: “If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.”
Combine the HVHZ mandate with Broward County’s homeowner insurance rates, and the financial case for impact-rated CWS products in Sunrise is stronger here than almost anywhere in Florida. Documented opening protection premium discounts on impact-rated windows and doors can offset a significant share of the upgrade cost. We have seen Sunrise homeowners recover their full replacement investment through insurance savings within four to seven years.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
We service the full CWS lineup seen across Sunrise, with the deepest experience on four product families: the CWS 400 Series Impact Casement, the CWS 5000 Series Sliding Glass Door, the CWS 2000 Single Hung, and the CWS Architectural Fixed Window. For critical components like impact-rated sashes and locking hardware, we use OEM CWS parts to keep your units code-compliant and your insurance discounts valid. For seals, gaskets, and weatherstripping, we use proven aftermarket equivalents where they perform as well and cost less. That blend keeps repairs honest. On Sunrise’s 50 to 60 year old CWS units, we are straightforward when full-frame replacement is the better investment than repeated patchwork. If you are in CWS sales & service territory and unsure whether to repair or replace, we will show you the numbers side by side.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Sunrise lies entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation that covers Broward and Miami-Dade counties and requires every window and door replacement to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Plantation and Weston also fall within Broward County’s HVHZ, so the requirement applies there too. The real contrast is with neighbors just across the county line in Palm Beach County, where the HVHZ does not apply and NOA documentation is not mandatory. If you are in Sunrise and replacing a CWS unit, insist on a product with the NOA number stamped on the frame. Call (954) 280-4413 if you want us to verify your existing units.
Sometimes. If the rough opening is structurally sound and the CBS block edges are intact, we can install a full-frame replacement without rebuilding the wall. On many 1960s and 1970s Sunrise homes, though, the block behind the old jalousie frame crumbles when we pull the unit. That requires re-flashing and re-anchoring the full frame before the new impact-rated window goes in. We will not know until we open it up, but we will tell you what to budget for either way. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will inspect your openings for free.
In most cases, yes. Broward County homeowners insurance carriers offer documented premium discounts for opening protection credits on impact-rated windows and doors. A full-perimeter retrofit with NOA-compliant CWS products typically produces the largest discount. The exact dollar amount depends on your carrier and policy, but we have seen Sunrise homeowners recover the cost of a full replacement within four to seven years through premium savings alone. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written estimate, then take it to your agent to run the numbers.
Sunrise sits in the inland western Broward flatlands with no coastal buffer, fully exposed to afternoon convective storms that drive rain into aging aluminum frames. That repeated wet-dry cycle accelerates frame oxidation and seal failure on pre-2000 CWS single-pane units. Twenty-year-old frames in Sunrise often look like forty-year-old frames in a coastal city with less storm exposure. The fix depends on how far the oxidation has spread. We will inspect the frames, check the seals, and give you a straight answer on repair versus replacement. Estimates are free at (954) 280-4413.
Most likely yes. A significant share of Sunrise’s 1960s and 1970s HOA communities still have architectural review processes that govern exterior changes, and window replacement is almost always on the list. We have worked through dozens of Sunrise HOA approvals. Our team can provide the product specifications, NOA documentation, and installation details your board or management company will ask for. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will help you get the paperwork right the first time.
