CWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent CWS service provider working throughout Delray Beach and nearby areas like Cws in Boynton Beach, and we handle everything from single-hung rebalancing to full impact slider replacement. The thing that separates our CWS work here is straightforward: we know the HOA approval gauntlet in Kings Point, Century Village, and the other 55+ communities better than anyone, and we package the architectural committee paperwork with the Palm Beach County permit before anything gets ordered. Call (954) 280-4413 if you have a CWS window or door that needs attention.
TruePane has been serving South Florida homeowners since 2008, and our crew has put hands on more corroded CWS 795 sliders and bowed Series 7000 single hungs than we can count. We don’t sell CWS product. We service it, repair it, and when the frame’s gone too far, we tell you straight before we quote a replacement. Our CWS sales & service work across Delray Beach is built on one habit: measuring twice, ordering from OEM when the part still exists, and never charging for a second visit when the first one should have done the job.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most Delray Beach CWS windows went in during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, which means the original installers are long gone and the manufacturer’s warranty paperwork is a faded memory. We’ve built our CWS repair practice around that reality. Dale Kessler grew up in the Sailboat Bend neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale watching his father reseal jalousie windows in ninety-degree humidity, and he learned the framing and glazing trade at McFatter Technical College in Davie before spending nearly two decades working glass along the South Florida coast. What that means for your CWS window is simple: the person running the crew understands what three decades of salt air does to an anodized aluminum frame.
We stock OEM CWS hardware when the manufacturer still produces it: rollers, latches, locking bars, balance springs. When a part is out of production, we source a compatible equivalent and tell you exactly what we’re using and why before it goes in. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. No surprise line items. No second appointment left hanging. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that person knows what a CWS 8050 awning window is.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
CWS product is well-built, but forty years of Delray Beach humidity and salt air does what forty years does. Here’s what we’re fixing most weeks:
- Interlocking rail wear on CWS 795 sliding glass doors. The 1980s condo builds in Kings Point and Century Village are full of these doors, and when the original brass rollers seize, the door drags across the track until the interlocking rails stop seating against the weatherstripping. Salt air three to five miles inland accelerates roller corrosion faster than owners expect.
- Frame sag on CWS Series 7000 single hungs. Delray Beach’s concrete block stucco buildings settle over decades, and when the original perimeter caulk dries and cracks, Atlantic moisture attacks the bottom rail. We see bowed mullions and frames out of square, usually on west-facing units that catch the afternoon sun and salt breeze.
- Leaking corner welds on CWS 8050 awning windows. Oceanfront A1A buildings deal with wind-driven salt spray that pools in the sill track. That spray leaves a white oxidation crust along the corner welds, which eventually breaks the seal and lets water into the wall cavity. This is the failure mode we see most on high-rise condos east of Ocean Boulevard.
- Failed perimeter seals on CWS 5500 fixed windows. In Delray Beach’s coastal humidity, the original sealant around the frame dries and cracks even when the insulated glass unit itself is still intact. Air and water get in around the frame, and the homeowner sees condensation between the glass and assumes the whole unit is shot. Often it isn’t; the seal is.
- Balance spring and latch failures on Series 7000 single hungs. These are the workhorse windows in Century Village and similar communities. When the balance springs wear out, the window won’t stay open. When the latch cam strips, it won’t lock. Both are repairable with OEM parts if the frame isn’t corroded.
CWS Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the Delray Beach reality no generic CWS page will tell you: if you own a CWS window or door in Kings Point, Century Village, or most of the age-restricted communities west of I-95, you cannot legally pull a Palm Beach County permit until your condo or HOA architectural committee approves the replacement in writing. That committee will typically require the frame color and grid pattern to match the building’s original 1970s bronze or white anodized aluminum profile. Some boards mandate specific SDL grid patterns for visual consistency across the building. A contractor who orders product and pulls the county permit before getting that HOA letter risks a completed installation being rejected and having to absorb removal costs entirely out of pocket.
We’ve spent years learning these boards’ expectations. Our crew replaced a corroded CWS 795 sliding glass door in a Century Village unit where the bottom roller housings had turned to white oxide from years of salt air. The HOA required the new frame to match the original bronze anodized finish with the same horizontal SDL grid, so we submitted the spec sheet and Florida Product Approval documentation to the architectural committee first, then pulled the Palm Beach County permit. The full impact door went in without a single inspection rejection. That’s the process in Delray Beach, and we’ve got it down to habit. This is what our Delray Beach service area expertise means in practice: we know which boards want what, and we prepare for it before the first dollar is spent.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We work on the full CWS residential line that Delray Beach buildings actually have:
- CWS Series 7000 Single Hung: the dominant window in 1970s-90s CBS condo construction. We handle balance replacement, latch repair, frame straightening, and full unit replacement.
- CWS 795 Sliding Glass Door: the classic 1980s condo slider. Roller replacement, track realignment, interlocking rail repair, and full impact-rated replacement when the frame has corroded beyond a repair that makes financial sense.
- CWS 8050 Awning Window: corner weld leaks, seal replacement, and frame corrosion repair are our daily bread on these.
- CWS 5500 Fixed/Picture Window: perimeter seal failure is the most common job, usually without any need to replace the glass unit itself.
Our parts approach is simple: OEM CWS hardware whenever the manufacturer still produces it. Mixed-sourced parts wear the interlocking rails prematurely, and we won’t put a part in your window that we wouldn’t trust in our mother’s house. When the frame itself is corroded or out of square beyond repair, we say so plainly before you spend money on a band-aid fix.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Because Kings Point’s architectural committee has legal authority over exterior appearance, and Palm Beach County won’t issue a permit for exterior glazing work without proof that the association has signed off. In Delray Beach’s age-restricted communities-and places like Cws in Greenacres-this creates a two-track process that doesn’t exist for single-family homes in other cities. We handle both tracks: we submit the architectural committee package first, then the county permit, and we don’t order product until the approvals are in writing. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through your building’s specific requirements.
If the frame is square and the corrosion is limited to the balance springs or latch, a sash rebuild with OEM parts is often all you need and runs $140-$260. If the frame has bowed or the bottom rail shows significant oxidation, a sash-only fix will buy you a year or two at most. We’ll tell you which one you’re looking at before we quote anything, and we’ll show you the frame condition with the sash pulled. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule an assessment.
Yes. Delray Beach falls under Palm Beach County’s coastal High-Wind Zone, which requires Florida Product Approval documentation for any impact-rated glazing product. Some lower-cost windows sold legally in Orlando or Tampa are non-compliant here. We pre-package the Florida Product Approval paperwork with every HOA submittal and county permit application, so you’re never standing in a permit office holding a spec sheet that doesn’t work.
Because salt air doesn’t care about the quality of the original install. Oceanfront A1A buildings deal with wind-driven salt spray that accelerates aluminum oxidation and roller corrosion dramatically, especially on east-facing and west-facing elevations with direct exposure. A door three miles inland in Century Village-or over in Cws service in Deerfield Beach-may get fifteen or twenty years from the same hardware. If you’re oceanfront on A1A, we recommend inspecting your rollers, tracks, and corner welds every two or three years, not every decade.
Most Florida insurers are now requiring wind-mitigation documentation that includes impact-rated glazing on older condo units, particularly in coastal zip codes. A 1980s CWS window that predates Hurricane Andrew code doesn’t qualify for the full wind-mitigation credit, and we’re seeing insurers demand replacement as an underwriting condition. A full-frame impact replacement is the only path to the insurance credit, and we handle the complete documentation trail. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written quote.
