This page is for Wellington homeowners who have CWS units in their house and need straight answers about what goes wrong, what it costs, and whether repair or replacement makes sense. We’ve been setting and sealing windows in Palm Beach County for decades, and the CWS failures we see follow patterns worth understanding before you write a check.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS builds substantial windows, but Wellington’s particular combination of afternoon thunderstorms, hurricane-season wind-driven rain, and salt air from the coast finds every weak point eventually. Here’s what we see most often on CWS units in Wellington:

• CWS Series 5500 fixed and casement units losing seal integrity at the glazing bead. The 5500 line uses a structural glazing bead that holds the glass in place, and in Wellington’s heat-soak-and-downpour cycle, the bead material stiffens and pulls away at the corners first. You’ll see condensation between panes that starts at one corner and creeps inward. Our fix is a full deglaze, bead replacement with current-spec material, and a proper re-seal under controlled shop conditions, not a tube of caulk over the gap.
• CWS architectural grille frames rattling in their channels. On CWS custom units with interior grilles, the aluminum grille frame sits in a channel that gets wallowed out over years of operation, especially on double-hung units where the sash drops and lifts through thousands of cycles. The grille starts as a faint tick and becomes a rattle you can hear from the next room. We rebuild the channel with fresh glazing vinyl and, when needed, pin the grille corners so they stop moving.
• CWS slider and patio door rollers binding on the lower track. CWS sliding units use a roller assembly that sits in a milled track, and Wellington’s fine sand gets into that track and grinds the roller wheels flat on one side. The door starts to drag, then binds, then the handle side lifts and drops. We replace rollers with load-rated aftermarket units that match the track profile, and we reset the door slab so it rides level instead of compensating with a taller roller on one side.
• CWS custom radius and arched windows losing their setting blocks. On CWS shaped units, the glass sits on setting blocks placed at factory-specified points, and if the original install left the block placement off by even an inch, the glass stresses unevenly and eventually cracks from the corner or the apex. We see this on Wellington homes where the original builder-installed CWS shaped units are now fifteen to twenty years old. We pull the sash, check the block placement against CWS’s spacing chart, and reset the unit so the glass bears weight where it should.
• CWS multi-point lock hardware walking out of adjustment on French door sets. CWS hinged patio doors use a multi-point lock with shoot bolts top and bottom, and in Wellington’s humidity swings the door slab moves enough that the bolts no longer line up with the receivers. The handle gets stiff, then the key won’t turn. We adjust the slab, align the receivers, and lubricate the gearbox, and if the gearbox has stripped we replace it with a direct-fit aftermarket unit that costs less than CWS’s list price and carries the same function.

Our CWS Custom Windows & Doors Process

Here’s how a CWS job runs with us, from first call to final walkthrough:

1. 1
   You call (561) 349-4826 and a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback form. You tell us what the CWS unit is doing, and we schedule the visit.
2. 2
   We measure and diagnose on site. Every opening gets measured twice, per our standard. We identify the exact failure, the CWS model and series where we can, and we photograph what we find.
3. 3
   We quote in writing before any work starts. You get a line-item quote showing OEM CWS parts and quality aftermarket equivalents side by side, with the same labor either way. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, per The Keystone Standard.
4. 4
   We do the work in a single visit when parts allow. Custom CWS shapes may require fabrication lead time, but most service calls are one-visit jobs. Our techs arrive background-checked and uniformed, work clean, and leave the opening sealed and true.
5. 5
   We test the unit before we leave. Function, seal, lock alignment, glass clarity. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither.

What CWS Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Wellington

Repair pricing on CWS units in Wellington depends on the failure, the series, and whether we use OEM or aftermarket parts. Here’s what we quote most often:

• Glass replacement on a CWS insulated unit: $220-$480 per pane, depending on size, Low-E coating, and whether it’s tempered.
• Seal repair on a CWS Series 5500 or similar fixed unit: $180-$340 per unit, including deglaze and re-seal.
• Slider or patio door roller replacement: $160-$290, including resetting the slab and track cleanup.
• Multi-point lock hardware repair on a CWS hinged door: $140-$310, depending on gearbox replacement versus adjustment.
• Full CWS window replacement, custom size: $900-$2,800 per window, including the unit, installation, and both warranty layers registered in writing.

What moves the price: whether the unit is a standard rectangle or a custom radius, whether glazing is tempered or laminated, and whether the original install left us a clean opening or a mess to correct. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll quote your CWS job in writing with no surprise line items on the bill.
