Why Lauderdale Lakes Residents Choose Us for CWS Service

Most of the homes and condos in Lauderdale Lakes went up in the 1960s and 70s, and a lot of them still have original CWS aluminum units in place. We’ve worked on enough of those buildings to know what fifty years of Broward humidity does to a CWS frame. Dale Kessler, our owner, has been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors in South Florida for nearly three decades. He trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program, where he learned to read a rough opening the way a doctor reads an X-ray, slowly and without guessing. That matters when you’re retrofitting a 1968 CBS ranch on NW 43rd Terrace that has settled half an inch since Nixon was in office.

We’re a local company that plans to be here in thirty years. We hire locally, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone with a live person, not a voicemail tree. Our CWS sales & service work is backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a Done Right Promise on every job. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lauderdale Lakes

• Corroded CWS jalousie frames from the 1960s and 70s. Year-round humidity and salt air in Lauderdale Lakes eat through aluminum at the weep corners and lower tracks. We regularly see jalousie crank operators and louver clips stripped or rusted beyond repair, which is why louvers fall out or jam open during inspections.
• Blown or fogged CWS insulated glass units in low-rise condos. Original CWS single-pane sliding windows that were “upgraded” with aftermarket IGU retrofits tend to fail after 15 to 20 years here, accelerated by constant moisture and UV exposure. The seal fails, the glass fogs, and the unit needs replacement.
• Binding CWS 900 Series single-hung sashes. On older CBS homes, aluminum frames corrode enough that the sash binds in the track. The window will not lock, which means it cannot be secured and will not pass an HVHZ wind mitigation inspection.
• Worn roller assemblies and bent tracks on CWS sliding glass patio doors. Ground movement in Lauderdale Lakes settles slabs and twists door openings. Original CWS non-impact sliding doors with worn rollers and bent tracks become impossible to secure to wind-load standards without full frame replacement.
• Failed wind mitigation inspections on original CWS units. This is the big one. Broward County inspectors fail original CWS windows and doors that lack current Miami-Dade NOA stickers. It is the most common reason we get called, and it’s the one that costs homeowners the most when it is handled wrong.

CWS Service in Lauderdale Lakes: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s the thing about Lauderdale Lakes that most out-of-area contractors miss. Broward County is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means every permitted window or door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a stricter product standard than counties immediately to the north. Broward County inspectors will red-tag and fail any installation in Lauderdale Lakes that lacks a current NOA sticker, even if the identical product passed inspection on a job in Boca Raton the same week. The HVHZ line runs along the Broward-Palm Beach county border, and it catches out-of-county crews every storm season.

What that means for CWS owners specifically is this: your original single-pane aluminum jalousie or sliding windows from the 1960s and 70s are uninsurable under today’s Florida property market. Nearly every job we do in Lauderdale Lakes is an insurance-mandated, code-specific impact-window upgrade rather than a routine swap. You can’t just patch a corroded CWS frame and call it done. The inspector needs to see current NOA stickers on impact-rated CWS components, or the permit stays open and your windstorm insurance stays unaffordable.

On NW 43rd Terrace, our crew pulled four original CWS 900 Series single-hung aluminum windows from a 1968 CBS ranch that were so corroded at the bottom tracks they would no longer lock. The homeowner had two failed attempts from out-of-county contractors who brought non-NOA impact windows. We tore out the frames to bare block, installed new CWS 900 Series impact units with current Miami-Dade NOA stickers, and had the permit closed in three days. That’s the difference between knowing the code and guessing at it.

CWS Models & Products We Service in Lauderdale Lakes

We work on the CWS model lines most common in Lauderdale Lakes. That includes the CWS 900 Series Single-Hung Impact Window, the CWS 9300 Series Horizontal Rolling Impact Window, the CWS 800 Series Fixed/Casement Impact Window, and the CWS 700 Series Sliding Glass Patio Door. We also service original non-impact CWS aluminum units, including jalousie windows, for repairs and assessments.

For minor repairs where the frame and hardware are still serviceable, we use OEM CWS parts. But most Lauderdale Lakes jobs require full-frame replacement because original CWS aluminum frames are too corroded to accept modern impact glazing. For impact retrofits, we install CWS-certified Miami-Dade NOA components exclusively. No generic aftermarket parts that would red-tag the permit. We stock the common CWS impact window sizes and NOA-stickered components locally so Lauderdale Lakes jobs don’t wait on a distribution center in another county.
