How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS windows have earned a reputation in South Florida for solid aluminum frames and respectable impact ratings, but like every window brand, they have failure patterns we see over and over in Coral Gables. Here’s what we run into most often and what we do about it.

• CWS Series 600/800 thermal break degradation. The thermal break in older CWS Series 600 and 800 frames breaks down after years of Coral Gables sun and salt air. Homeowners notice condensation between the panes first, then drafts. We don’t patch a failed thermal break; we replace the sash or the full unit depending on frame condition. Patching buys you a year. Replacement buys you fifteen.
• CWS 700 Series roller and track wear on horizontal sliders. The 700 Series slider uses a roller assembly that grinds down faster in coastal conditions than the track itself. What sounds like a track problem is usually a $30 roller. We inspect before we quote, so you’re not paying for a full frame when a roller swap fixes it.
• Fogged insulated glass units in CWS 500 Series. Seal failure shows up as permanent fog or mineral streaking between the glass. CWS 500 Series IGUs are replaceable without pulling the entire frame, which saves real money in Coral Gables homes where stucco and tile work would otherwise be involved. We warranty our IGU replacements for as long as we’re standing behind the 36500-Day Promise.
• Frame corrosion at the sill on CWS single-hung models. Salt air is relentless in Coral Gables, especially within a mile of the bay. CWS single-hungs can develop pitting and flaking at the sill corners where water sits. If the frame is still structurally sound, we can rebuild the sill. If it’s gone, we replace the unit and recommend the corrosion-resistant series that fits the opening.
• Hardware fatigue on CWS casement and awning operators. The operator arms on CWS casement windows wear out long before the glass or frame does. Homeowners call us thinking the whole window needs replacement, but often it’s a hardware rebuild with aftermarket parts that match or exceed OEM spec. We’ll tell you straight if a $180 repair beats a $1,200 replacement.

Our CWS Window Replacement Process

1. 1
   You call (904) 478-8983. A live person picks up, any hour, any day. We ask about the window, the symptoms, and your schedule.
2. 2
   We come out and inspect. We look at the CWS model, the frame condition, the opening, and the surrounding stucco or trim. No charge for the trip inside our home county.
3. 3
   We give you a written line-item quote. You’ll see exactly what we’re replacing, what parts we’re using, and what it costs. No vague allowances, no surprise add-ons later.
4. 4
   We decide OEM or quality aftermarket together. Some CWS parts are best sourced OEM. Some aftermarket options outperform OEM at a better price. We walk you through the trade-offs in plain English.
5. 5
   We do the replacement. Old unit out, new unit in, foam and flashing done properly, sills flush, operation smooth. Background-checked, uniformed techs on the job.
6. 6
   We test, clean up, and walk you through it. You open and close every window with us before we leave. If anything’s off, we fix it then or come back. That’s the Done Right Promise.
