CWS Custom & Geometric Windows in Wellington: What to Know First

We provide independent CWS custom and geometric window service in Wellington, from arched top replacements and radius units to full custom-shaped openings that have failed at the seal or the frame. Most CWS custom window jobs in Wellington run between $450 and $2,800 depending on the shape, glass package, and whether we’re replacing the sash, the glass unit, or the entire frame. We are an independent CWS service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we make parts and repair decisions based on what will actually hold up in South Florida, not what a manufacturer’s program tells us to sell.

Call (561) 349-4826

This page is for Wellington homeowners who bought a CWS custom or geometric window, live with it every day, and now have a problem they want handled correctly the first time. If that’s you, call (561) 349-4826 and a live person will answer. We’ve been doing this work in Palm Beach County since before CWS was a name most homeowners knew.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS Arched and radius units lose their seal at the apex. The CWS Signature Series arched windows we see in Wellington’s Olympia and Palm Beach Point neighborhoods fail most often at the top of the curve, where the glass meets the frame under constant afternoon sun load. The sealant breaks down, condensation shows up inside the glass, and the homeowner is looking at a fogged arch they can’t clean. We pull the unit, order the exact radius glass, and reset it with fresh glazing tape and sealant rated for South Florida UV. A replacement arch is usually $600 to $1,400 on a standard opening.
• CWS geometric transoms over fixed windows collect water in the lower corners. The CWS Estate Collection transoms and trapezoid units we replace in Wellington often have weep holes that were either too small from the factory or got clogged with pollen and dust from the Equestrian Preserve area. Water sits in the frame channel, the aluminum starts to pit, and eventually the frame rots through at the corner. We drill and clear the weeps, treat the corrosion, and if the frame channel is too far gone, we replace the entire unit and upgrade the weep system before it goes back in. The fix runs $380 to $950 depending on whether it’s a cleaning or a full replacement.
• CWS picture windows with attached geometric lites crack at the mull joint. This is a failure we see at least twice a month in Wellington’s older CWS installs. When a large fixed picture window has a half-round or angled lite mulled above it, the structural silicone at the mull joint ages out, especially on west-facing walls that catch the summer storm line coming off the Everglades. The glass separates slightly, then cracks during the next pressure change. We reglaze the mull, replace the cracked lite, and add a reinforcing mull cap so it doesn’t happen again. Budget $700 to $1,600 for a typical job.
• CWS casement and awning windows with curved tops develop operator wear. The CWS Architectural Series casement windows with radius tops put extra torque on the operator and hinge system because the curved sash doesn’t balance the way a rectangular one does. After eight to twelve years in Wellington humidity, the crank gears strip or the hinge arms bend. We replace the operators with OEM CWS parts when they’re available, which they usually are for the Architectural Series, and with a heavier aftermarket assembly when they’re not. Operator replacement on a radius casement is typically $260 to $480 per sash.
• CWS sliding glass doors with custom transoms above fail at the header interface. Homeowners in Wellington’s Buena Vida and The Isles neighborhoods call us when the custom transom over their CWS slider starts letting water in during the afternoon storms. The problem is almost never the transom itself. It’s the flashing and header seal between the transom frame and the wall, which settles over time and opens a hairline gap. We pull the interior trim, reseal the header line, and reset the transom frame on new shims. That’s a $550 to $1,200 repair depending on how much trim we have to remove to get at it cleanly.

Our CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Here’s how a CWS custom window job goes with us, from first call to cleanup.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (561) 349-4826, a live person answers, and we schedule a time that works. No callback forms, no voicemail. You’ll know who’s coming and when they’ll be there.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and diagnosis. Our background-checked, uniformed technician measures every opening twice and figures out exactly what failed. On a CWS geometric unit, we check the glass, the seal, the frame, the weeps, and the hardware. You get a written diagnosis.
3. 3
   Parts decision on paper. If it’s a seal failure, we source the exact radius or angled glass unit. If it’s hardware, we give you the OEM CWS part and the quality aftermarket option side by side on paper, with prices, so you decide with the facts in front of you. Some CWS custom shapes have long lead times from the factory. We tell you that upfront, not after you’ve paid a deposit.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We do most CWS custom window repairs in one visit. The frame gets reset, the new glass goes in square and true, and the sealant goes on clean. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule Dale Kessler has worked by since day one.
5. 5
   Warranty registration before we leave. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. No paperwork fights later.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise. If anything we touched isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print. We stand behind it.

What CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Wellington

Straight numbers for the most common CWS custom and geometric window jobs we do in Wellington:

• Seal failure on a CWS arched or radius window: $450 to $900 for the reglaze and glass replacement on a standard opening.
• Full replacement of a CWS geometric transom or trapezoid unit: $600 to $1,400 depending on dimensions and glass package.
• Cracked lite in a CWS picture window with mulled geometric lite above: $700 to $1,600 with the mull reglaze and reinforcement.
• Operator and hardware replacement on a CWS radius casement: $260 to $480 per sash.

• Complete custom geometric window replacement (framed opening, new unit, trim, finish): $1,500 to $2,800 for most Wellington homes. Oversized openings and large radius units run higher.

What moves the price is the glass package, the size of the radius, and whether the frame itself is salvageable. We quote fixed prices in writing, no change orders, no surprise line items. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. It’s a square deal, the same one we’ve been giving Palm Beach County since 2008.

Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

Most of the people who call us in Wellington have already tried calling someone else. They called a company that put them through a phone tree, scheduled a callback that never came, or sent a tech who took one look at a geometric window and said they’d have to replace the whole wall. That’s not how we work.

TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company has served these communities since 2008 through craft and community commitment, not a franchise playbook. Dale grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park neighborhood, where half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades. That bothered him enough to make it his life’s work. He learned the trade at Palm Beach State College’s building construction program in Lake Worth, spent nights in the lab learning glazing tolerances, and has been measuring, setting, and sealing windows in Palm Beach County for going on three decades.

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That matters on a CWS job because it means we understand how CWS units compare to what else is available, and we can quote you a PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems option side by side on paper if replacement makes more sense than repair. We’ll tell you straight which path saves you money over ten years. That’s the kind of honesty you get from a company that plans to be here in thirty years.

Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we’re not going anywhere. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
