CWS Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CWS window and door service throughout Atlantis, FL, including our Window Installation in Atlantis and door services, and the one thing that makes our work here different is architectural review. Nearly every home in Atlantis predates Florida’s 1994 impact-glass mandate and sits under a golf-course HOA that requires board approval for exterior changes. That means CWS repairs and retrofits in Atlantis must be code-compliant and visually faithful to the original mid-century design. We handle both. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
Why Atlantis Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
We’ve spent over a decade servicing CWS impact systems along the South Florida coast, and Atlantis presents a particular set of conditions we’ve learned to read well. Salt-laden Atlantic air works on aluminum frames, hinges, and tracks in ways that inland cities rarely see. Our team knows which CWS failure patterns show up first here and what it takes to correct them without voiding a wind-mitigation credit. Dale Kessler runs TruePane with a simple rule he learned from his father’s maintenance business: a callback is a character flaw, not an inconvenience. That’s why we keep common CWS components in stock, measure twice, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves. We’re not a franchise. We’re the CWS sales & service team that plans to be here in thirty years.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Atlantis
- Corroded stainless steel hinges on CWS 800 Series impact casements. Salt-air exposure at four to five miles from the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on casement hardware. We see sagging sashes and failed compression seals regularly in Atlantis, and we replace with OEM hinges to restore a tight seal.
- Roller and track wear on CWS 900 Series sliding glass doors. Mid-century Atlantis homes often have original slider openings that have carried decades of use. Sand and salt grit work into tracks and chew up rollers. The door starts to bind, then refuses to move. We replace both rollers and track inserts rather than forcing a door that’s already stressed.
- Degraded weatherstripping and dried-out glazing tape on CWS fixed picture windows. Twenty-plus years of UV and coastal humidity break down the flexible seals on fixed units. We see air leaks and fogged glass on these jobs. When the insulated glass unit has delaminated, we recommend a like-size CWS replacement rather than a reseal that won’t hold.
- Broken or jammed multi-point locking mechanisms on CWS Estate Series French doors. Foundation settling and hurricane cycling can throw the door slab just enough to hang up the lock points. We repair the mechanism and realign the slab so the door closes square and locks in one motion.
- Jalousie window removal and retrofit. A lot of Atlantis homes still carry original jalousie windows, and those are not impact-rated, not energy-efficient, and not up to current Florida Building Code. We pull them and install CWS impact casements or single-hung units with full frame replacement.
CWS Service in Atlantis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Atlantis is the only municipality in Palm Beach County where almost 100% of homes were built before Florida’s 1994 impact-glass mandate and sit within a golf-course HOA that mandates architectural review. That combination doesn’t exist anywhere else in the county, and it changes how CWS work has to be done here. Every CWS retrofit in Atlantis must clear two different bars: it has to pass Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-resistance requirements for the Wind-Borne Debris Region, and it has to look right to the architectural board. In practice, that means custom bronze-anodized frames, simulated-divided-light patterns, and finishes matched to the original 1960s-to-1980s character of each home. A standard white vinyl retrofit that would sail through in Lake Worth or Greenacres will not survive architectural review in Atlantis. Owners here pay for premium-spec work because the municipal character depends on it. We’ve done enough of these to know exactly what the board will ask about before you submit, and we build that into the quote.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Atlantis
We service the full CWS line, including the 800 Series impact casement, 600 Series single hung, 900 Series sliding glass door, and Estate Series French door. For any repair, we prioritize OEM components-hinges, rollers, locks, and weatherseals-to maintain original fit, finish, and impact certification. Not all aftermarket parts carry the same wind-load ratings, and using the wrong component on an impact-rated opening can quietly void an insurance credit you’re counting on. For Atlantis service calls, we carry a working stock of common CWS rollers, hinges, and weatherseals on the truck, so the typical repair is one visit, not two. When a frame is corroded beyond safe repair or the glass is delaminated, we’ll say so plainly and recommend a like-size CWS impact unit, installed to Atlantis service area standards with full architectural review in mind.
CWS Service Pricing in Atlantis
CWS repair pricing in Atlantis depends mostly on what failed and whether the unit can be repaired or needs full replacement. Roller and hinge replacements are the most common jobs we do here, and they cost considerably less than our Door Installation in Atlantis or a new impact window. A full frame replacement with CWS impact casements runs higher, especially when custom bronze anodizing or simulated divided lights are required for HOA approval. What drives the cost in Atlantis more than anything is whether the existing frame is salvageable. Salt corrosion on aluminum frames this close to the ocean sometimes makes repair a bad investment, and we will tell you that before you spend money on a fix that will not last. Every estimate is free, written line by line, and includes exactly which components are OEM and which warranty layers we register. Call (813) 320-9346 for a firm number.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Atlantis
Yes. We work with anodizing and finish shops that can match the original mid-century bronze and custom frame finishes common in Atlantis, and we’ve completed multiple architectural-review approvals in the city. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll talk through the finish specification your board requires.
In Atlantis, it’s usually both. Salt and sand grit work into the track, the rollers wear flat, and the door starts dragging before it binds completely. Trying to force it only damages the track further. We inspect both on the first visit and replace whichever components are beyond service. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll schedule a look.
We repair hinges on CWS casement windows whenever the sash is still sound. Corroded stainless steel hinges are the most common failure we see from salt-air exposure in Atlantis, and an OEM hinge replacement costs far less than a new impact casement. If the frame itself is corroded beyond safe repair, we’ll tell you that directly. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote.
Most CWS impact windows installed in the 1990s still meet the impact-resistance requirements of the current Florida Building Code, but that depends on the product line, the installation quality, and whether original components are intact. We verify the product approval and wind-load rating during a wind-mitigation inspection. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule one.
Yes. CWS impact lines are available in configurations that preserve wide sightlines, and we install them as full frame replacements with clean lines that do not obstruct the view. Many Atlantis homeowners choose the CWS 800 Series casement for exactly that reason. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll show you what the view looks like after the job, not just in a catalog.
