CWS Windows & Doors in Greenacres, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service CWS windows and doors across Greenacres, from the original 1960s ranch homes near Jog Road to newer CBS construction off Lake Worth Road. We’re independent, not manufacturer-authorized, which means we can be honest about what’s worth repairing and what needs full replacement. The one thing that sets our CWS work apart in Greenacres is that we pre-check every Florida Product Approval number before pulling a permit, because we’ve seen too many jobs stall at the Palm Beach County building desk. Call (754) 238-2201 for service that’s done right the first time.
Why Greenacres Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Greenacres is a specific kind of town. Single-story CBS ranch homes built from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, most of them still carrying original aluminum single-pane windows and thin steel doors. That housing stock is our bread and butter. We know what CWS jalousie frames look like after forty years of South Florida rain, and we know what the Palm Beach County building department expects when you pull a permit here.
Dale Kessler started this company because he kept seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties that could have been avoided. He grew up in Kendall and spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail. He’s been measuring and setting windows in South Florida for going on three decades. When we quote a CWS job in Greenacres, Dale still measures every opening himself. It’s slower, but it means the numbers on the estimate match the numbers on the wall.
We use OEM CWS hardware where it’s still available: tilt-latches, rollers, jalousie clips. When OEM is backordered, we machine quality aftermarket parts rather than leave a job half-done. And we stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right, no arguing.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Greenacres
- Jalousie frame bowing and blade tension loss: Original CWS 7000 Series jalousie windows from the late ’60s and ’70s are all over Greenacres. After decades of wind-driven rain, the aluminum frames bow slightly and the blade tension fails, so the glass panes rattle in the clip line and leak during the afternoon summer downpours. We can tighten existing clips, replace worn glass, or move you to impact-rated fixed or casement windows if the frame is too far gone.
- Sliding door roller delamination near the canals: Homes within a half-mile of the Lake Worth Drainage District canal network have a distinct problem. The water table rises in wet season, and CWS 3000 Series sliding door tracks pick up more mineral-laden moisture. Rollers delaminate, and the panel starts grinding against the track. We replace rollers, inspect the track for pitting, and reset the sill pan if water’s been getting underneath.
- Screen spline groove cracking from UV and salt dirt: Inland Palm Beach County gets a specific mix: intense UV, fine canal dust, and salt-laden air that drifts in from the coast. CWS interior screen frames weren’t designed for that combination. The spline grooves crack over time, and bugs get in before the impact glass itself shows any wear. We re-spline and reinforce where possible, or replace the screen frame entirely.
- Balance shoe failure on CWS 500 Series single-hungs: The die-cast balance shoe at the bottom rail snaps when a homeowner forces a stiff sash. The sash gets stiff because humidity swells the weatherstripping. We see this regularly in Greenacres 1980s ranchers. The fix is a new balance shoe and fresh weatherstripping, not a whole new window, unless the frame’s also fatigued.
- Thin steel entry doors failing to meet current code: Original front doors on Greenacres CBS homes are often hollow-core steel or aluminum. They don’t meet Palm Beach County wind-load requirements and they leak air. We replace them with rated CWS impact doors and document the FPA numbers for your insurance file.
CWS Service in Greenacres: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most contractors get wrong in Greenacres, and it costs residents weeks of delay. Greenacres sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so Miami-Dade NOAs don’t apply here. Palm Beach County requires Florida Product Approval numbers on every window and door permit. We’ve watched out-of-county crews habitually spec Miami-Dade-rated CWS products and submit NOA paperwork, only to get flagged at the building desk in West Palm Beach. The re-submittal wastes two or three weeks and sometimes means ordering a different model line entirely.
When we quote CWS work in Greenacres, we verify the FPA number before we ever write the estimate. For CWS 500 Series single-hungs, CWS 3000 Series sliding glass doors, and their impact lines, that FPA documentation is often different from what’s available elsewhere in Florida. We also check the design wind speed for your specific neighborhood, because a home near the canal network off Jog Road can have different exposure than one closer to Wellington or Lake Worth Road. The permit goes through cleaner, the inspection passes sooner, and your insurance paperwork isn’t rejected because the product doesn’t match the jurisdiction.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Greenacres
We work on the CWS product lines most common in Greenacres housing stock. That includes the CWS 500 Series Aluminum Single-Hung, the CWS 3000 Series Impact Sliding Glass Door, the CWS 7000 Series Jalousie, and the CWS 4000 Series Awning. Our parts approach is practical: OEM CWS hardware when it’s available and in stock, quality aftermarket machining when OEM is backordered and will hold the job open. We stock common CWS rollers, jalousie clips, tilt-latches, and balance shoes for faster Greenacres turnaround, so we’re not waiting on a distributor in Riviera Beach to open Monday morning. For windows with both frame fatigue and multiple parts failures, we recommend full tear-out impact replacement rather than piecemeal repairs, because throwing new parts at a tired frame just buys you a year or two.
CWS Service Pricing in Greenacres
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Roller replacement (sliding door) | $75-$160 per panel |
| Jalousie blade replacement & clip tensioning | $45-$90 per window |
| Balance shoe replacement (single-hung) | $95-$180 per sash |
| Screen re-spline and frame reinforcement | $60-$120 per frame |
| Full impact window replacement (per opening) | $700-$1,400 installed |
| Sill pan reset and weatherseal detailed for canal-adjacent thresholds | $120-$220 |
What shifts the price in Greenacres is less about the CWS part and more about what we find when we open the opening. A sliding door on a canal-side lot may need a full sill pan reset with negative slope before the new rollers even matter. A jalousie that’s been leaking for years may have hidden frame rot behind the aluminum. Our free estimate includes a leak-check, a straightness check on the frame, and a written line-item quote. No surprises on the bill, no change orders after the fact. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Greenacres
Greenacres is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Palm Beach County requires Florida Product Approval numbers, not Miami-Dade NOAs, on window and door permits. Submitting an NOA here gets flagged at the building desk in Boynton Beach or West Palm Beach, which stalls your permit and may force a re-order. We verify the correct FPA for your CWS model before we pull anything. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want us to check your existing paperwork.
No. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet impact code, period. The frame design and blade-and-clip system were never engineered to take wind-borne debris. The honest answer for a 1970s CBS ranch is tear-out replacement with rated CWS impact windows, either the 500 Series dual-pane or a verified impact product line. We can quote both side by side on paper, with FPA numbers referenced, so you see exactly what you’re buying. An estimate is free.
Yes, in most cases. Palm Beach County recognizes FPA-approved impact products for wind mitigation credits, and Citizens and private carriers here are aggressive about requiring documented impact protection. The credit depends on your insurer’s specific wind-mitigation inspection. What matters is that the product’s FPA matches the Palm Beach County jurisdiction and that both warranty layers are registered in writing. We register both before we leave the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your openings.
Usually both, but it starts with the track. On Greenacres canal-side lots, the Lake Worth Drainage District raises water levels in wet season, and the rising moisture attacks the track and rollers from underneath. Rollers delaminate, the track pits, and the panel drags. Humidity also swells the weatherstripping, which adds resistance. We’ll clean or replace the rollers, inspect the track for pitting, and reset the sill pan if water’s been pooling. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you what you’re dealing with.
Expect 20 to 30 years on the frame and glass, but the hardware, rollers, and weatherstripping will need attention sooner if you’re close to the canals. The mineral-laden moisture shortens roller life and accelerates corrosion on aluminum components. Some homeowners near the canal network off Jog Road replace rollers every 5 to 8 years instead of the 10 to 15 we see on higher, drier lots. We’ll tell you exactly what your windows need, not what a brochure says they should need. Call (754) 238-2201.
