Call (863) 208-6105

We’re TruePane Windows & Doors. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008, but the glazing craft behind it goes back many years through his father’s glass shop. We’ve installed and serviced CWS impact windows across Pembroke Pines, Pembroke Falls, Silver Lakes, and Chapel Trail long enough to know exactly where these products hold up and where they don’t.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Every impact window line has predictable weak points. CWS is no exception. Here are the failure modes we see repeatedly in Pembroke Pines homes, and what we do about them.

• Fogged glass in CWS 900 Series and 5500 Series units. The insulated glass seal fails over time, and South Florida humidity does the rest. We remove the sash or lite, replace the glass at a fraction of full-frame cost, and register the work in writing. The old glass goes, the new lite gets set square, and the warranty paperwork follows.
• Rollers and tracks that bind or scrape. CWS horizontal sliders in Pembroke Pines collect fine sand and lime dust from the lake breeze around Silver Lakes. The nylon rollers wear flat, the track gets scored, and the panel starts dragging. We replace rollers with appropriate OEM or spec-matched parts, clean the track, and adjust the panel so it travels without effort.
• Hardware corrosion near Chap Trail and Pembroke Falls. Coastal air doesn’t stop at the shoreline. Salt and humidity chewing through handle sets and locking points is something we see regularly on CWS casement and awning operators. We replace the hardware, lubricate the lock points, and verify the multi-point system engages so the window actually locks the way it did when it was new.
• Frame separation and sealant failure. CWS frames that were set against concrete block with substandard caulking start pulling away after a decade of afternoon thunderstorms. Water finds the gap. We pull the old sealant, inspect the flange for true, reset any section that has shifted, and reseal with a high-grade construction sealant that holds in our climate.
• Shattered or delaminated impact glass. CWS impact glass is tough, but a stray golf ball from Pembroke Lakes Golf Club or a storm-driven branch can crack the outer lite. When the lamination is compromised, the window still holds but loses its energy rating. We source CWS-compatible impact glazing and replace the lite according to Miami-Dade and Broward code requirements.

Our CWS Impact Windows Process

Here’s what a CWS impact window job looks like when you call TruePane Windows & Doors in Pembroke Pines.

1. 1
   You call (863) 208-6105. A live person answers. You describe what’s wrong. We schedule a time that works for you and confirm the appointment in writing.
2. 2
   We arrive on time and measure. A background-checked, uniformed technician inspects the window, measures the opening twice, and identifies the CWS model and series. We check the frame for true, look for hidden damage, and note any code issues.
3. 3
   You get a written quote. We lay out the options on paper - OEM CWS parts versus spec-matched aftermarket - with prices side by side, so you see exactly what you’re paying for and why.
4. 4
   The work happens. Parts get ordered if needed, or we work from our existing stock. The repair or replacement is done on site, usually in a single visit. Your home stays clean; we protect the floors and haul away any old glass.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. The window is opened, closed, locked, checked for square, and water-tested at the seal. If the pane isn’t true, the job isn’t done.
6. 6
   You get our Done Right Promise. If anything is wrong within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. That’s The Keystone Standard, in writing.

What CWS Impact Windows Costs in Pembroke Pines

Here are honest ranges for common CWS impact window jobs in Pembroke Pines, based on what we’ve seen over the last several years.

What moves the price is the size of the lite, the CWS series involved, whether you need OEM or aftermarket parts, and whether the frame is sound. We don’t pad the bill with vague “miscellaneous” lines. Call (863) 208-6105 for a free written estimate, and keep our standing offers in mind: a free written repair estimate, a maintenance check, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

Why Pembroke Pines Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We’re not the cheapest bid in the room, and we’re not trying to be. Homeowners in Pembroke Pines call us because they’ve been burned before - fogged seals, doors that bind in July, a contractor who vanished when the warranty question came up. We answer the phone. We show up when we say. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated plainly. The Done Right Promise means what it says: if it’s not done right, we make it right. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.

And while CWS is a quality product line, we’re also authorized installers for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters when a CWS window can’t be economically repaired and you need to weigh replacement options across brands. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you make the call with your eyes open, not from a sales pitch. Dale Kessler grew up in Pembroke Falls and has spent three decades setting glass in South Florida homes. He will tell you what you actually need before he ever quotes you what you might want to spend. That’s a square deal, and we stand behind it.

Does CWS still honor the warranty if TruePane works on my windows?

In most cases, yes - CWS warranties generally cover the glass and frame against manufacturing defects, and service work done by an independent company does not automatically void that coverage. What voids CWS warranties is unapproved modification or failure to maintain the product. We’re careful to document every job and use only OEM or spec-matched parts, so your CWS warranty stays intact. If you’re uncertain about coverage, call (863) 208-6105 and we’ll help you understand what your paperwork actually says.

How long do CWS impact windows last in Pembroke Pines before they need real attention?

A properly installed CWS impact window can hold up for 15 to 25 years in Pembroke Pines, but components wear at different rates. Glass seals typically give out after 12 to 18 years, rollers and hardware can need attention after 8 to 10 years of daily use, and frame seals may need re-caulking every 7 to 10 years depending on sun exposure. We check all of these during a maintenance check, so you catch small problems before they become expensive ones. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a guarantee - it’s a guess.

I have CWS impact windows and I’m not sure the glass is still impact-rated. Can you test it?

We cannot re-certify impact glass, but we can inspect the lite, check the label etching, and tell you whether your windows still meet current Broward County code for windborne debris protection. If the label is missing or the lamination is delaminating, the window may not perform as designed during a storm. We’ll give you an honest assessment and a written quote for replacement glazing if needed. Call (863) 208-6105 to schedule an inspection - estimates are free.

Which CWS series do you see most often in Pembroke Pines?

The CWS 900 Series and 5500 Series are the lines we see most often in Pembroke Pines homes, particularly in communities built between 2005 and 2018 around Pembroke Falls, Silver Lakes, and Chapel Trail. The 950 casement unit also shows up in newer construction. Knowing which series you have tells us which hardware components to bring, which glass packages are compatible, and where to source parts without compromising the warranty. When you call (863) 208-6105, a live person can help you identify your series just by describing the window.

Should I repair my CWS impact window or replace it?

Repair makes sense when the issue is isolated - a failed seal, worn rollers, broken handle, or sealant gap - and the frame is still true. Full replacement makes sense when the frame itself is compromised, the damage is structural, or the window has reached the end of its serviceable life and you’d be paying for repairs every other year anyway. We’ll show you both options on paper with prices side by side, and we won’t push replacement unless repair is genuinely a bad investment. Call (863) 208-6105 for an honest assessment from someone who will still be here in thirty years.
