CWS Windows & Doors in Edgewood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CWS service across Edgewood, FL, with over a decade of hands-on experience repairing and replacing CWS units in this half-square-mile city’s 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch homes. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we repair first when it’s honest to do so and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. The thing that makes our CWS work different in Edgewood is simple: we know this city’s separate permit queue and its wind-load inspection standards better than any franchised shop. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate from a crew that has pulled Edgewood permits for over ten years.
Why Edgewood Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Our crews have worked on original CWS windows and doors in Edgewood’s mid-century CBS ranch stock long enough to know exactly what these units do after fifty or sixty years of Central Florida humidity. We know the flange corrosion patterns on the 300 Series single-hungs, the fogged seals on the 500 Series sliders, and the way CWS 700 jalousie frames crumble when you try to pull them from block walls. That kind of familiarity means faster diagnosis, fewer return trips, and a repair bill that reflects what was actually wrong instead of a guess.
Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up watching his father reseal jalousie windows in Fort Lauderdale and has spent the better part of two decades working glass and framing in Florida’s coastal corridor. The rule he keeps on the whiteboard has not changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in Edgewood in thirty years.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Edgewood
- CWS 300 Series single-hung aluminum windows with pitting and white oxide bloom. South-facing openings in Edgewood take relentless UV and humidity, and the original aluminum frames on these units oxidize faster than most people expect. We repair what’s salvageable and replace only when the frame has pitted through.
- CWS 500 Series sliding glass doors with failed IGUs and fogged glass. We consistently see five to seven year seal life on original units in Edgewood, not the ten-plus years you’d get on newer thermal-break models. When the glass goes foggy, we weigh a reseal against a full sash replacement and put the numbers on paper before any work starts.
- CWS 700 Series jalousie windows with corroded mounting flanges and wall anchors. This is the most common failure we walk into on Edgewood’s CBS ranch homes. The flanges rust into the block, the anchors let go, and a simple sash swap fails the city’s wind-mitigation checks every time. Full frame re-flashing is usually required, and we handle it as a permit-ready job.
- CWS 900 Series impact-rated casements with hardware binding. Original steel screws seize into aluminum frames after years of thermal cycling in Florida heat. Lubrication doesn’t fix it. Removal often requires drilling out the old fasteners, and we do that without damaging the frame.
- Wind-load anchoring failures on original CWS frames. Many of these 1950s-to-1970s windows were never anchored to meet Orange County’s adopted Florida Building Code. We re-anchor, re-flash, and get the required wind-load sticker on every frame before the Edgewood inspector arrives.
CWS Service in Edgewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Edgewood is a tiny incorporated city completely surrounded by Orlando, and every window and door permit goes through Edgewood’s own municipal building department, not Orange County, not Orlando. That is the single biggest difference between a CWS retrofit in Edgewood and a job one block away. The city’s inspector enforces the same wind-load and SHGC thresholds on a half-square-mile of 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch homes, which means a CWS retrofit that clears Orlando can still fail inspection inside Edgewood on a snapped mullion measurement alone. If it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall. We have spent enough mornings in the Edgewood permit queue to know what the inspector will flag before the inspector does, and we quote accordingly.
Our tech spent a morning off Edgewater Drive on a 1963 CBS ranch where the original CWS 700 jalousie windows had corroded so badly that the aluminum flanges crumbled into the block when we pulled the old glass. We re-flashed all five openings, installed new CWS 900 impact-rated casements with the city’s required wind-load sticker on every frame, and passed the Edgewood inspection on the first trip as part of our Window Installation in Edgewood. The homeowner told us a handyman had failed twice on the same permit. That’s the difference between knowing Edgewood’s code and guessing at it.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Edgewood
We service the full CWS line that shows up in Edgewood’s mid-century housing stock: the 300 Series single-hung aluminum windows, the 500 Series sliding glass doors, the 700 Series jalousie windows, and the 900 Series impact-rated casement windows. Our CWS sales & service work includes full frame replacement, wind mitigation and code compliance, and hurricane impact window installation. We use CWS OEM hardware and glazing when available, but for discontinued 1970s jalousie and single-hung components we source quality aftermarket equivalents that match CWS’s profile and finish. A square deal means telling you when repair is honest and when replacement is the only path to passing Edgewood inspection. We stock common CWS parts locally so the most frequent repairs do not sit waiting on a distributor.
CWS Service Pricing in Edgewood
What drives the cost on a CWS job in Edgewood? Three things: whether the frame is salvageable, what the city’s wind-load inspection requires, and whether you’re replacing glass, hardware, or the entire unit. A simple sash swap on a 300 Series single-hung runs a different number than a full frame re-flash on a 700 Series jalousie. We quote line by line, on paper, before the truck leaves the driveway. Every estimate is free, and the price you sign is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your CWS repair or replacement. A live person answers, twenty-four hours a day.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Edgewood
Yes. Edgewood requires a permit for window and our Door Installation in Edgewood replacements even when you’re doing an insert into an existing frame. The inspector verifies wind-load ratings, SHGC compliance, and anchoring. If the mullion measurements or the anchoring do not meet the Florida Building Code as adopted by Orange County and enforced by Edgewood’s own department, the job fails. Call (954) 280-4413 before you buy anything. We’ll tell you what the inspector will flag and quote the fix.
It is not the city line that does it, it’s the exposure and the age of the stock. Edgewood’s housing is almost entirely 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch homes, and the south-facing walls catch direct afternoon UV with no shade from two-story neighbors. Add Central Florida’s year-round humidity, and the aluminum frames corrode and bloom white oxide faster than newer thermal-break units in Orlando’s mixed housing stock. The windows are not worse. The site conditions are harder. Call (954) 280-4413 for an assessment of your specific openings.
We can source some original CWS 700 jalousie hardware, but specific clips and operators from the 1960s and 1970s are often discontinued. When OEM parts are not available, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that match CWS’s profile and finish. We only recommend full replacement when the frame itself has pitted through or fails wind-load anchoring, which is common on Edgewood’s original jalousie installations. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you which path your windows are on.
The permit and inspection process. Edgewood runs its own municipal building department, separate from Orlando and Orange County, with its own queue and its own inspector. A CWS 500 Series slider replacement that clears Orlando inspection can fail in Edgewood on wind-load anchoring or SHGC paperwork alone. We handle the Edgewood permit process on every job, so you are not standing at city hall trying to decode code language. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate that includes the permit work.
Edgewood enforces the Florida Building Code wind-load requirements applicable to Orange County, which means frames and glass must meet specific pressure ratings even though Edgewood sits inland. The inspector is not checking for coastal exposure levels, but the units still have to pass wind-load standards that many original 1950s to 1970s CWS windows cannot meet. We quote the right rating for your openings. Call (954) 280-4413 and ask for a wind-load assessment on your CWS windows.
