AfterCWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent Delray Beach Window Installation and doors contractor that repairs and retrofits CWS products across the city, from the barrier island condos to the historic districts west of the Intracoastal. The one thing that makes our CWS work here different is simple: we’ve spent years learning which CWS series hold up under Delray’s salt air and which fail in predictable, fixable ways. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate on any CWS repair, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s wrong and what it costs.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
TruePane has served Delray Beach since 2008 through a heritage of craft that started with founder Dale Kessler’s father repairing storefronts and residential windows along Atlantic Avenue. Dale grew up in Lake Ida, learned glazing and frame installation at Palm Beach State College’s Lake Worth campus, and spent two decades working through every window type the South Florida climate can punish before starting TruePane in 2008. We know CWS product lines from the inside out: which rollers bind on a Series 840 slider after three summers of salt exposure, which hinge screws loosen on a Series 950 casement carrying laminated impact glass, which glazing beads shrink and crack on a Series 700 single-hung after a decade of UV. More importantly, we know how to fix them correctly the first time, with OEM parts when they’re available and premium aftermarket components when older CWS lines have long lead times. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee – it is a conversation.
We’re not a manufacturer-authorized CWS dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. We’re an independent service provider, which means we recommend the repair or replacement that serves your house and your budget, not a factory sales quota. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (561) 940-2917 and you’ll speak with someone who can talk through the problem right then.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Corroded rollers and tracks on CWS Series 840 sliding glass doors. East of the Intracoastal in Delray Beach, salt air eats stainless hardware faster than inland markets. We see 840 sliders grinding and sticking because the rollers have oxidized and the track is pitted. We replace the rollers with marine-grade aftermarket bearings and dress the track, which usually restores smooth operation without replacing the entire door panel.
- Fogged IGU seals in CWS Series 700 and 950 windows. Delray’s peak humidity months, May through October, are also when the snowbird condos along A1A sit sealed and unoccupied. A failed seal has nobody to notice it until November, when seasonal owners return and find glass they can’t see through. We find failed seals every November in Delray Beach, and we re-glaze the insulated glass unit without ripping out the frame.
- Sagging or misaligned hinges on CWS Series 950 impact casements. The laminated glass in a 950 casement is heavy, and after enough cycles the hinge arms wear and the sash drops. We see this consistently on Delray Beach condo buildings where the prevailing east wind works the hardware daily. We replace the hinge arms and re-square the sash, which stops the binding and prevents the corner seal from opening up.
- Brittled weatherstripping and shrunken glazing beads on CWS Series 700 windows. Years of salt and UV exposure in Delray Beach turns flexible weatherstripping brittle and causes vinyl glazing beads to shrink and pull away. The result is air leakage, water intrusion during driving rain, and a window that rattles. We replace the weatherstripping with a higher-durometer marine-grade material and re-bed the glazing bead.
- Storm-damaged CWS impact frames and sashes. Delray Beach sits inside Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone windborne debris region, so impact-rated CWS products take direct hits from flying debris during named storms. We handle frame extraction, glazing replacement, and complete sash swaps for CWS impact units, including the documentation your insurance carrier needs.
CWS Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach has something that neighboring Boynton Beach and Boca Raton don’t: a Historic Preservation Board with real authority over window and door replacements in Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and the Marina District. If you own a CWS window or Door Installation in one of those districts and it needs replacement, you’re facing a dual compliance burden. The HPB must approve the replacement for style, profile, and material compatibility, and Palm Beach County’s windborne-debris mandates require impact-rated glazing. That means a generic off-the-shelf CWS unit won’t pass: the mullion sightlines have to match the original architectural character, the frame profile can’t bulk up too much, and the custom sizing has to fit a masonry opening in a 1940s or 1950s CBS bungalow. We’ve navigated this process more times than we can count, and we know which CWS series can be modified to satisfy both the HPB and the county inspector without losing energy performance. In the Marina District, our tech replaced a storm-damaged CWS 950 impact casement in a 1950s CBS bungalow after the HPB flagged a non-conforming off-the-shelf unit. We pulled the exact CWS frame profile, worked with a local fabricator to match the narrow stile and historic awning sightline, then moved the existing laminated glass into the new sash to save the owner hundreds on glazing. The result passed HPB review and the county inspector signed off on the windborne-debris certification the same week.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service the CWS product lines most common in Delray Beach homes and condos: the Series 700 vinyl single-hung and picture windows, the Series 950 impact-rated casement and fixed windows, the Series 840 sliding glass doors, and the Series 990 architectural-grade impact windows. Our parts approach is straightforward: we source OEM CWS parts when they’re available because impact-rated hardware tolerances are tight, and we use premium aftermarket rollers, hinges, and seals for older or discontinued CWS lines where OEM delays would leave your home unprotected. We keep a working stock of common CWS replacement components in our Delray Beach service vehicles so a roller swap or seal replacement doesn’t require a second appointment.
CWS Service Pricing in Delray Beach
What you’ll pay depends on what failed and where the unit is installed. Simple service calls, like a track dressing or weatherstripping replacement on a CWS Series 700, run on the lower end. Full roller and track overhauls on a Series 840 slider, hinge arm replacement on a Series 950 casement, or IGU re-glazing on a fogged unit cost more because the parts and labor are heavier. Salt-air corrosion east of the Intracoastal tends to add prep time when hardware is seized. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed before any work starts, and our pricing doesn’t change once the job is underway.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. A fogged insulated glass unit is a failed seal, not a failed frame. We replace the IGU glass pack and leave the original CWS frame in place, which is faster and costs far less than a full window replacement. This is one of the most common repairs we perform in Delray Beach condos along the A1A corridor, especially in November and December when seasonal owners return. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll send a tech to measure the IGU and give you a written quote.
Summer heat and humidity in Delray Beach cause the aluminum track and the rollers to expand, and if the rollers already have corrosion from salt air, the door binds when the materials swell. It’s a seasonal symptom of a year-round problem: the rollers are failing and the track needs cleaning and dressing. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact diagnosis and a fixed quote. Estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases. We work with the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board’s requirements in mind from the start, and we’ve matched CWS Series 950 and 990 products to the original profiles in Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and the Marina District. The work involves custom frame sizing and narrow mullion sightlines, and we handle the HPB submission and the county windborne-debris certification together so you’re not left managing two bureaucracies. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll walk you through what’s involved for your specific house.
We do, and it’s one of the most common service patterns we see in Delray Beach. Units sealed from May through October sit through peak salt-humidity months, so failed IGU seals and corroded door hardware go unnoticed until the owner returns. We’re ready for the November and December surge, and our techs can typically handle multiple repairs in one visit so you’re not scheduling round after round. Call (561) 940-2917 to book a service visit before the January rush.
It depends on the frame condition and the glazing. If the CWS frame is structurally sound and the impact laminate is intact, a repair like a hinge replacement or IGU re-glaze usually makes sense. But if the frame has severe corrosion or the impact glazing is compromised, a repair won’t satisfy current Palm Beach County windborne-debris codes, and we’ll tell you that plainly. We’d rather recommend a validated replacement than install a repair that won’t pass inspection. Call (561) 940-2917 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
