CWS Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide Cws sales & service across Palm Beach, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is simple: we rebuild CWS fenestration on this barrier island the way ARCOM and the salt air demand, not the way a standard replacement crew would. Palm Beach sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so every CWS unit faces corrosion from two sides at once, and the Town’s Architectural Commission will not accept a generic aluminum insert where a bronze original belongs. Our techs have rebuilt CWS impact units on Mizner-era estates for years, and we can do the same for you. Call (754) 238-2201.
Why Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most window companies in Palm Beach will sell you a new window. We will tell you whether your CWS unit can be rebuilt, what ARCOM will approve, and what it will cost in a written line-item quote before any work begins. That difference matters on an island where a single estate section casement window can cost more to replace than a whole tract home’s window package.
Dale Kessler, our owner, trained at Miami Dade College’s vocational program reading rough openings the way a doctor reads an X-ray. He measures every job himself. It is why our CWS work in Palm Beach passes inspection the first time, and why we carry genuine CWS parts plus marine-grade stainless aftermarket hardware for the failures aluminum parts have in this salt air. We are not a franchise, not a call center, and not authorized by CWS. We are an independent service provider, and we have been doing glazing work in South Florida long enough to know what the ocean does to a weep corner.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Palm Beach
Palm Beach is hard on CWS equipment. Here is what we see most often, and why it happens here:
- Salt corrosion at aluminum frame weep corners, east-facing elevations. The Atlantic side of Palm Beach drives salt mist into every drainage opening on a CWS Estate Series casement or single-hung. The weep corners are the first aluminum to pit and crust over. Left alone, the frame stops draining and water backs up into the track and the wall cavity.
- Argon gas seal failure and fogging in impact laminated glass, ten to fourteen years in. Palm Beach gets relentless tropical UV, and the thermal cycling between air-conditioned interiors and the island’s humid air stresses the laminated layers. A CWS Architectural Impact 7000 unit that has been under full sun for a decade can lose its argon seal and fog between the panes, and replacing just the glass is often the right fix.
- Pitting in bronze and steel hinge and operator hardware on west elevations. The Intracoastal side may not get the surf, but it gets the lagoon’s still, humid air sitting against the hardware all day. CWS bronze casement operators on the west side of a Palm Beach home pit and bind far faster than the same hardware across the bridge in West Palm.
- Weatherstripping breakdown on CWS sliding door tracks. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through Palm Beach almost daily from June through September, and a sliding door with flattened weatherstripping will let water walk in under the threshold. This is a common failure on CWS Signature Door Collection sliders on pools and loggias.
- Frames out of square from settlement and storm loads. Older Palm Beach homes move, and a CWS Monumental fixed or picture window that has been racked out of square will bind its sash and leak at the corners. We true the frame or reset the unit before it turns into a wall leak.
CWS Service in Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Palm Beach is the only town in Palm Beach County where the Architectural Commission requires that any window or door replacement on a contributing property in the Estate Section match the original bronze or steel profile exactly. At the same time, Palm Beach County demands full HVHZ impact glazing. Those two rules collide in a very specific way for CWS owners: a standard CWS aluminum insert will not get ARCOM approval on a Mizner-era home, because the frame profile is too thick, too square, and too obviously modern. You cannot simply swap in a stock impact unit. You need custom steel-reinforced frames, bronze cladding where the original was bronze, and impact-laminated glass set into profiles that read as period-correct from the street. That is the dual-compliance burden we handle on South Ocean Boulevard and throughout the Estate Section. It is not a paperwork exercise. It is custom fabrication, and it is the reason we keep a metal shop relationship within a twenty-minute drive of the island.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Palm Beach
We service the full CWS line that shows up on Palm Beach homes. That includes the Estate Series casement and single-hung units, the Architectural Impact 7000 series, Monumental rated fixed and picture windows, and the Signature Door Collection. For historic profiles, we use genuine CWS replacement parts when precision matters, because nothing aftermarket matches the original extrusion on a bronze casement. But where OEM aluminum parts fail early in salt air, we source marine-grade stainless hardware that will outlast what CWS shipped from the factory. We repair what remains structurally sound, and we replace full units only when ARCOM compliance or an impact-rating upgrade makes repair the wrong call financially.
CWS Service Pricing in Palm Beach
CWS service pricing in Palm Beach depends on what failed and where the unit sits, including Cws repair in Greenacres. For planning purposes:
- Full CWS impact window replacement (standard operable unit): typically $1,800 to $4,200 per opening, installed.
- CWS sliding patio door replacement: $3,500 to $7,500.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes, ARCOM jurisdiction covers all properties in the Town of Palm Beach, not only contributing historic structures. Any replacement must match the original profile, material, and finish unless ARCOM grants a deviation in writing. For CWS windows, that usually means custom fabrication rather than a stock insert. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on ARCOM-compliant replacement windows.
The laminated glass in CWS impact windows loses its argon seal over time, and Palm Beach’s constant thermal cycling and UV exposure accelerate the process. Once the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and fogs the glass. We can replace just the glass unit in most frames. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on seal replacement.
Yes, we restore CWS bronze casements by rebuilding the frames, replacing pitted hardware, and installing new impact-laminated glass where the original single-pane glass no longer meets county wind code. This keeps the original look and passes ARCOM review. Call (754) 238-2201 to have your casements assessed.
Yes. The Intracoastal side of Palm Beach sees less wind-driven rain but more constant humidity. Weatherstripping on the lagoon side should be marine-grade EPDM or silicone, while the ocean side benefits from a heavier compression seal that resists wind-driven water. We stock both. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on sliding door weatherstripping replacement.
No, ARCOM will usually reject a thicker frame profile on a contributing or visible elevation. The solution is a steel-reinforced replacement sash with marine-grade cladding that matches the original sightlines while meeting HVHZ impact standards. We fabricate these in Palm Beach regularly. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your elevations.
