This page is for homeowners who own CWS impact windows and want straight answers about repair, replacement, and cost. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and we’ve been installing and servicing CWS products across Palm Beach ever since. As an independent CWS service provider, we’re not affiliated with the manufacturer, but that’s exactly why so many owners call us when the warranty’s expired and the original installer won’t return the call.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS 790 Series sashes that stick on the lower track. In Palm Beach, fine beach sand and salt air settle into the reinforced bottom track and bind the roller assemblies. Most installers swap the rollers and call it done, but the real culprit is usually degraded track glazing that re-grips within months. We remove the sash, clean and re-glaze the track channel, and replace the rollers only when the bearings actually show wear. Ed’s crew learned this one on the estate corridors along El Brillo Way, where oceanfront sashes see constant spray.
• Fogged glass on CWS Arquitectural Series fixed units. This isn’t a CWS manufacturing defect in most cases. Palm Beach’s combination of morning condensation and direct afternoon heat stresses the dual-pane seal, especially on east-facing elevations. Once the desiccant inside the spacer bar saturates, the glass fogs permanently. Repair means replacing the insulated glass unit, not the whole frame. We order glass that matches the original CWS low-E coating and impact laminate, so the repair doesn’t alter the window’s energy rating or storm protection.
• Locking hardware on CWS 6040 impact casements that won’t engage. The multi-point locking rods bend slightly over years of repetitive use, and Palm Beach’s humidity accelerates corrosion on the internal gearbox. The symptom is a handle that turns but won’t push the locking pins fully home. On CWS casements, the fix is an aftermarket gearbox assembly with sealed bearings, which lasts longer in coastal exposure than the OEM part. We can show you both options when we’re on-site.
• CWS H Series sliding glass door rollers that grind or skip. Palm Beach homeowners with pool-facing sliders see this constantly. The stainless rollers themselves are durable, but the adjustment screw housings pack with blown soil and salt crystals. The door sags a few millimeters, scrapes the bottom rail, and suddenly a door that worked smoothly for a decade feels like a workout. We pull the panel, break down the roller housing, and rebuild it. If the door has sagged enough to score the frame, we also re-shim the panel to correct the alignment before it damages the track.
• Impact glazing beads that crack near the corners. CWS uses a vinyl glazing bead to hold impact glass in place, and after years of Palm Beach sun exposure, the vinyl gets brittle. A pressure crack appears where the bead is stressed. Homeowners often worry the window itself is failing, but it’s typically a bead replacement, not glass. We replace the bead with a latest-generation UV-stabilized profile and inspect the adjacent seal integrity while we’re in there.

Our CWS Impact Windows Process

1. 1
   You call (561) 831-7863. A real person answers, even at 2 a.m. We ask what the window is doing, which room it’s in, and what CWS model you have if the label is still legible.
2. 2
   We arrive on time and diagnose in person. Ed or a background-checked, uniformed tech comes to your Palm Beach home, inspects the unit, and tells you exactly what’s failing. No guessing from a call center script.
3. 3
   You get an upfront parts decision. If CWS parts are still available and cost-effective, we use them. If the aftermarket route offers better coastal longevity, we tell you why and let you choose. You’ll see the line-item price for both paths before any work starts.
4. 4
   The repair happens same-day where possible. Most roller, track, bead, sealing, and hardware jobs are completed in one visit. Glass unit replacements take a few extra days because the IGU is ordered to match your original CWS coating and laminate spec.
5. 5
   We test the window under real Palm Beach conditions. We cycle the unit, check the seal with a moisture meter, and run the locking hardware through full engagement. If it doesn’t feel right to us, it’s not right.
6. 6
   We leave it clean and covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not warranty marketing. If a CWS repair we did doesn’t hold up, we come back and make it right. Period.
