We’re not a CWS dealer. We’re an independent service provider, which means our recommendations are driven by what actually holds up in Palm Springs, not by factory sales targets. Our crews have worked on CWS sales & service calls across Palm Beach County’s 1950s to 1970s housing stock for over a decade, and we know exactly which original CWS frames fail first in this climate and how to retrofit them to current Florida Building Code wind-load standards.

Why Palm Springs Residents Choose Us for CWS Service

Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall, back when that part of Miami-Dade was still mostly nurseries and canal roads, and he spent summers watching his father re-glaze storefronts along the Tamiami Trail before he ever picked up a paycheck. 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’s the standard we bring to every CWS job in Palm Springs.

We’ve been measuring, sourcing, and setting windows and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. The work we’re best known for is impact-rated installations that pass inspection the first time and hold through the kind of August storm that sends neighbors back to the hardware store. Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back. That rule governs every CWS jalousie, slider, and casement we touch in this village.

Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Springs

• Pitted and salt-crept aluminum frames. CWS aluminum frames on homes sitting less than a mile from the Intracoastal’s brackish influence develop severe pitting along the bottom weep corners. We see it most on original non-impact sliders from the 1970s, where the corrosion eventually eats through the frame enough to compromise the glass seat.
• Seized jalousie hardware. Lever arms and clip pins on original CWS jalousies corrode from decades of humidity and salt air. Once they seize, the louvers won’t close tightly enough to pass the wind-mitigation inspection your insurance carrier now requires.
• Failed glazing beads on single-pane sliders. Original CWS sliders with cracked or broken glazing beads stop holding the glass under the 140 to 165 mph design wind loads this area carries. A permit inspector will flag these as non-compliant the moment any adjacent work gets pulled.
• Sticking entry doors on settled CBS footings. On 1960s ranch homes where the original rough opening shifted from footing settlement, CWS entry doors sag at the top and drag at the bottom. It’s a structural shifting problem, not a hinge problem, and it needs a full opening correction.
• Insurance non-renewal notices. Palm Beach County carriers are now issuing non-renewal notices specifically tied to the absence of documented impact-rated windows and doors. A CWS jalousie from 1968 won’t satisfy the documentation requirement, no matter how tightly it closes.

CWS Service in Palm Springs: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

The Village of Palm Springs has a post-WWII grid of CBS ranch homes where the original CWS jalousie rough openings are consistently 2 to 3 inches shallower than today’s impact frame depth. So even a “simple insert” replacement often requires full tear-out and stucco rework. This condition barely exists three miles west in Greenacres, where later concrete-frame homes were built with deeper pockets. If you live in one of the original 1950s or 1960s homes around Congress Avenue or along the streets platted just after the war, your CWS replacement is not a drop-in job, and anyone who quotes it that way will be back for a change order before the stucco dries.

Inspectors at the Village of Palm Springs Building Department flag installations where contractors pull a permit for one opening but informally swap out adjacent jalousie panels without permitting each unit. That shortcut is common in this neighborhood type, and it results in failed final inspections and insurance documentation gaps that can void a newly purchased policy. We permit every opening, and we close out every permit before we call the job done.

CWS Models & Products We Service in Palm Springs

We service the full CWS line you’re most likely to find in Palm Springs homes: the CWS 4000 Series Impact Casement, the CWS 2000 Series Aluminum Sliding Glass Door, the CWS Single-Hung Aluminum Window from the 1970s, and the original CWS Jalousie Replacement Sash from the 1960s. For CWS hardware that’s still structurally sound, we use genuine CWS replacement parts when available, especially for impact-rated lock sets and hinge pins. But after six decades, many original CWS components are discontinued. When that happens, we source code-compliant, Florida Product Approval-listed aftermarket parts from manufacturers like CRL and Strybuc. Nothing goes into your opening without an FPA number on it.

On any jalousie or single-pane aluminum unit, we recommend full-frame replacement with current impact-rated CWS or an equivalent before attempting a repair. A patch job won’t satisfy the Village of Palm Springs’ wind-load or insurance documentation requirements, and you’ll end up paying for the same opening twice.
