AfterCWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent CWS window and door service across Delray Beach, and the one thing that sets our work here apart is simple: we know exactly what four decades of dual salt-air exposure does to original CWS aluminum frames along A1A and the Intracoastal. We also handle CWS in Boynton Beach with the same expertise. TruePane Windows & Doors is not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we recommend the repair or replacement that serves your building, not a brand quota. If you have CWS windows or doors that bind, leak, or rattle, call (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Our crews have spent years resolving CWS window and door failures in South Florida’s coastal multifamily stock. That hands-on familiarity with the original aluminum CWS products found throughout Delray Beach condominium towers and mid-century homes means we don’t show up to learn on your dime. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up around building maintenance long before he founded TruePane in 2008, and his rule has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We arrive background-checked and uniformed, measure every opening twice, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Delray Beach homeowners and condo boards call us because we’ve already worked on buildings just like theirs down the street, and because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. CWS sales & service is what we do year-round, not as a side line.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Aluminum frame oxidation and swelling. The dense corridor of 1970s and 80s condo towers along A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway holds original CWS aluminum sliding glass doors that have spent forty years breathing salt air from two directions at once. The frames swell shut, and residents reach for a block of wood just to get a door open.
- Failed EPDM seals and dried-out gaskets. After 15 to 20 years of salt-laden moisture, CWS sliders lose their seal compression. Wind-blown water finds its way inside during summer storms, and the first sign is usually a damp carpet edge or a white crust forming along the track.
- Corroded jalousie hardware and bent torque bars. Inland Delray Beach CBS homes from the 1950s through 70s, in neighborhoods like Del Ida Park and Lake Ida, still carry original CWS jalousie windows. The torque bars corrode, the clips snap, and panes rattle or fall out entirely.
- Weep-hole clogging from airborne salt and sand. Oceanfront CWS frames collect sand and salt dust in the weep channels. Water stands inside the track, the rollers sit in brine, and the bearings fail years before they should.
- Pre-sale inspection failures. On the older A1A towers, inspectors flag original CWS sliding doors immediately because they don’t meet current impact ratings. We regularly replace doors in specific buildings where this same flag comes up on every sale.
CWS Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something we deal with in Delray Beach that you won’t hear from a contractor working in Wellington, CWS repair in Boca Raton, or Lake Worth. The A1A condominium towers contain one of the densest clusters of pre-1994 CWS aluminum sliding glass doors in Palm Beach County, and those doors sit in a salt-air corridor with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. The result is a failure pattern that repeats building by building: aluminum oxidizes, the track swells, the door binds, and the unit goes to market. Inspectors write it up, and suddenly the seller needs a door replaced within two weeks of closing. We know which buildings generate those calls because we have taken them for years. That’s the local knowledge that keeps a tenth-floor CWS door from turning into a closing-day crisis.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We service the CWS 7000 Series Aluminum Sliding Glass Doors, the 5000 Series Aluminum Single-Hung Windows, the Architectural 400 Series Casement Windows, and the pre-impact jalousie line still found throughout inland Delray Beach. Our approach is straightforward: where the original frame is structurally sound, we source OEM CWS replacement components. Where oxidation has eaten into the structural web or impact retrofit is required, we use code-approved stainless steel hardware and aftermarket impact glazing matched to the original sightlines. If a patched roller or gasket would only win you a few months, we will tell you it’s time to replace. We’d rather lose a small repair ticket than install a temporary fix in salt air that will fail again before next hurricane season.
CWS Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Most CWS roller, gasket, and hardware repairs in Delray Beach run between $180 and $450 depending on the door model, the extent of track damage, and whether we’re working on a ground-floor unit or a tenth-floor balcony where access equipment changes the job. Full sliding glass door replacement with code-approved impact glazing typically starts around $2,400 for a standard two-panel CWS 7000 opening, and rises with hardware upgrades and custom sightline matching. Your free estimate includes exact line-item pricing on paper, not a ballpark over the phone. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side, and register every warranty before we leave. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 for a quote on your CWS repair or replacement.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
The problem isn’t usually the rollers, it’s the aluminum track itself. In coastal Delray Beach and nearby CWS in Greenacres, the frame is oxidizing from salt exposure on both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides, and the corrosion expands inside the track profile. New rollers glide for a year or two, then the swelling outpaces them again. The permanent fix is machining the track back to spec and treating the aluminum, or replacing the door when the structural web is compromised. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you which path applies to your door.
You can replace one window, but you’ll likely trigger the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board review if your home sits in a designated district, and that board cares about profile and material consistency. A single impact window beside original jalousies is code-compliant as an opening-by-opening upgrade, though our honest recommendation is to plan the elevation as a set so sightlines match and you don’t pay mobilization twice. We can quote it both ways on paper.
A basic home inspector checks operation and visible condition. A wind mitigation report checks design pressure ratings, impact certification, and attachment methods against Palm Beach County’s adopted wind-speed maps, which place coastal Delray in a zone requiring products engineered for 170+ mph design pressures. Original CWS aluminum windows from the 1970s and 80s were never tested to that standard, so they pass a visual but fail the engineering review. That’s why pre-sale replacement has become routine along A1A.
No. Florida law generally permits condo associations to require uniform appearance, but they cannot require a specific manufacturer brand unless the governing documents explicitly say so. What they can enforce is size, color, sightline, and finish. We regularly install code-approved impact doors from other manufacturers that match the CWS 7000 profile closely enough for board approval, and we can supply the documentation your association will ask for.
Repair is possible for the hardware, the torque bars, and individual panes, but it’s usually a short-term play. The jalousie design has zero impact rating and fails wind mitigation by default, so repair makes sense only if you’re not selling, not remodeling, and not pursuing an insurance discount. Otherwise, replacement with a modern impact-rated window is the honest long-term fix. We’ll show you the numbers for both and let you decide.
