AfterCWS Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re an independent CWS window and door service provider working across North Palm Beach, and we handle everything from seized casement operators to full-frame impact retrofits on canal-front homes. What makes our CWS work different here is simple: we know what salt spray and tidal air do to aluminum frames along these finger canals, and we budget for it before we ever touch the opening. Call (754) 238-2201 and you’ll get a live person who can talk through what you’re seeing.
TruePane has been serving South Florida since 2008 through a craft tradition that started with Dale Kessler’s father re-glazing storefronts along the Tamiami Trail. We’re not a manufacturer affiliate, and we’re not the authorized CWS dealer. We’re the crew North Palm Beach homeowners call when the original hardware has frozen solid and the franchise installers won’t touch the tear-out.
Why North Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most window companies in Palm Beach County install whatever line they carry and move on. We service CWS because we’ve spent years understanding how these specific windows fail in this specific place. A CWS Series 8300 slider on a canal-west exposure in North Palm Beach faces a completely different corrosion profile than the same window set three miles inland, where Cws repair in Palm Beach Gardens deals with milder salt-air conditions. We know where the weep-corner welds crack first, which hardware seizes, and when a frame is too far gone to worth saving.
Dale Kessler grew up in Kendall, back when that part of Miami-Dade was mostly nurseries and canal roads, and he trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program reading rough openings the way a doctor reads an X-ray. He still measures every job himself. That’s who picks up the phone when you call. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry OEM-grade CWS hardware plus Florida Product Approved laminated impact glass for faster turnaround on North Palm Beach jobs. We’ve been in this community long enough that we plan to be here in thirty years, and we act like it.
We also carry full CWS sales & service capability for homeowners who want new impact windows matched to existing openings, not just repairs.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in North Palm Beach
- Corroded screen tracks and sill pans. On canal-west exposures in North Palm Beach, tidal spray accelerates galvanic corrosion on unprotected aluminum. We routinely see lower weep-corner welds cracked within five to seven years. The fix is often a new sill pan with marine-grade drainage, not a patch.
- Fogged insulated glass units in 2005-2010 CWS impact windows. East-facing elevations get the ocean breeze, and salt-laden air attacks the desiccant seal along the bottom edge of the IGU. We replace the glass unit with Florida Product Approved laminated impact glass rather than pretending the seal will hold.
- Failed locking hardware and stripped adjustment screws in 1990s CWS casements. The sash won’t seat against the weatherstripping, which means a failed wind mitigation inspection and a note from your insurer. We match OEM-grade locking mechanisms and hinge arms, because aftermarket substitutes rarely line up with the screw hole patterns on pre-2005 CWS frames.
- Corrosion-bonded aluminum frames inside 1960s rough openings. This is the North Palm Beach signature. Original CWS frames can fuse to the CBS masonry on canal-front homes, and we’ve spent afternoons with hammer and chisel removing two inches of corroded aluminum before a new frame could go in.
- Sliding doors that bind or won’t track. On original CWS Series 4700 non-impact sliders, the threshold hardware and screen tracks corrode fastest on the lagoon side. Sometimes it’s a roller replacement; sometimes the track is gone and the whole door needs a full-frame swap to an impact-rated unit.
CWS Service in North Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
North Palm Beach is a post-1956 planned community built largely along finger canals feeding the Intracoastal Waterway. That geography produces a double salt-air assault: ocean breezes from the east and tidal spray from the west. Our techs see it most sharply in the older ranch-style CBS homes west of US-1, where original 1960s CWS aluminum slider frames have corroded into the concrete rough opening. We’ve pulled frames that were no longer aluminum in any structural sense, just a fused oxide layer welded to the masonry. On Lighthouse Drive, a canal-front ranch built in 1963 still had its original non-impact CWS Series 4700 sliders, a situation our Cws service in Jupiter also encounters on older canal homes. The western-most unit on the lagoon side had corroded so deeply that our tech had to chisel out two inches of fused aluminum frame from the CBS rough opening. We reframed the opening with pressure-treated buck, set a new CWS Series 8300 impact slider with dual marine-grade weep-hole screens, and documented the before-and-after wind-load calculation for the homeowner’s insurance wind mitigation credit. The inspector passed it the first time.
That’s the reality of CWS service in North Palm Beach. You’re not just replacing a window. You’re often rebuilding the opening, addressing masonry, and producing documentation your insurance company will actually accept. Measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back.
CWS Models & Products We Service in North Palm Beach
We service the full range of CWS residential lines, including the CWS Series 7000 Single Hung Impact Window, the CWS Series 8300 Horizontal Slider Impact Window, the CWS Series 9200 Casement Impact Window, and the older CWS Series 4700 Aluminum Single-Pane Non-Impact Slider. For hardware, we match OEM-grade parts whenever they’re available, especially locking mechanisms, hinge arms, and balance springs. Aftermarket substitutes rarely match the screw hole patterns on pre-2005 CWS frames, and forcing them creates a worse problem than the one you called about. For glass, we use Florida Product Approved laminated impact glass from the same laminators CWS used. We stock common CWS hardware and glass locally for faster North Palm Beach turnaround, and we’ll always quote a full replacement honestly when the frame is too corroded to hold a new sash or IGU.
We’re also an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI, which means when a CWS full-frame replacement makes more sense, we can show you side-by-side quotes on paper.
CWS Service Pricing in North Palm Beach
CWS service in North Palm Beach typically runs between $180 and $340 for hardware repairs like locking mechanisms, hinge arms, and roller replacements. A single impact IGU replacement usually lands between $450 and $900 depending on size. Full-frame impact retrofits on canal-front homes, where masonry repair and new buck framing are part of the job, generally start around $2,800 per opening and go up from there. What drives the price is what we find when we open the wall: corrosion depth, rough opening condition, and whether the original frame can be salvaged or needs chiseling out.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach
Canal-front homes get salt exposure from two directions: ocean breezes from the east and tidal spray from the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Oceanfront homes typically only face one direction of salt-laden air. The western exposure on a canal-front North Palm Beach property never dries out the same way, which accelerates galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames, screen tracks, and sill pans. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll assess what’s salvageable.
Yes, in most cases. We replace individual IGUs using Florida Product Approved laminated impact glass from the same laminators CWS used. The exception is when the frame itself is too corroded to hold a new sash or IGU, at which point we’ll show you the frame condition and quote a full replacement.
Generally no. North Palm Beach sits within Palm Beach County’s 130+ mph design wind speed zone, and many 1990s CWS units were not rated to current standards - a gap Cws in Palm Beach properties often share. We can inspect your existing windows and document what qualifies for insurance wind mitigation credits and what needs upgrading. Give us a call at (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer.
On older North Palm Beach canal-front homes, the original aluminum frames often corrode into the CBS rough opening. We have to chisel out the fused aluminum before the new frame can be set, and that leaves masonry surfaces that need repair or a pressure-treated buck before the new window goes in. Skipping that step means the new frame sits on compromised material.
Yes. We match grid patterns, frame colors, and glass tints against your existing CWS units so a partial replacement doesn’t look like a patch job. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll come measure and match in person.
