We repair and replace CWS custom and geometric windows in Davie for homeowners who want the work done right, not done twice. Most CWS jobs we handle are completed in a single visit, and every estimate is free. The honest posture on price: we are not the cheapest bid in town, and we will not pretend to be.

Call (863) 208-5172

This page is for Davie homeowners who own CWS windows, specifically the shaped and oversized units: arches, radius tops, trapezoids, circles, and geometric combinations that standard window companies will not touch. If you have a CWS window that fogs, binds, leaks, or simply does not sit square anymore, call (863) 208-5172. A live person answers, day or night.

Key Takeaways

• We are an independent CWS service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer. That means we work for you, not a warranty quota.

• We quote OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side, on paper, with the warranty difference stated clearly.
• Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS built its name on impact-rated windows and doors for Florida homes, and in Davie we see a lot of their older architectural and custom-shaped units still in service. The failure patterns are consistent enough that we can usually tell a CWS window from across the room before we read the glass etching. Here is what we find, series by series, and how we address it.

• CWS Architectural Series radius and arch tops: seal failure at the curved glass edge. Curved insulated glass units flex more than flat units during thermal cycling, and in South Florida the daily heat-and-humidity swing works that edge seal hard. When the seal lets go, the window fogs from the top arc downward. CWS owners often tell us the fog comes and goes. It does not heal. What changes is the dew point. We replace the curved IGU with a unit fabricated to the original radius, and we re-glaze with a sealant rated for the full South Florida UV load, not a general-purpose silicone.
• CWS 450 Series casement and picture window combinations: sash sag on wide geometric openings. When a builder pairs a large trapezoid or half-round with a casement below it, the weight of the fixed upper unit bears down on the joined frame. Over twenty years in Davie humidity, the aluminum or vinyl joinery can creep. The casement starts to bind on the latch side, then the crank mechanism wears out fighting the frame. We do not just swap the crank. We re-square the opening, shim the frame back to true, and replace the operator and hinge set as a matched pair. Fixing the crank alone is how you get a callback in eight months.
• CWS impact architectural units: gasket compression set and water intrusion at the mullion joints. Davie gets afternoon thunderstorms that hit a west-facing window wall with real force. The gaskets and mullion splices on older CWS impact units were good products, but rubber has a life span. Once the gasket takes a permanent set, water finds the splice. We see this most often on custom fixed windows that were site-assembled. Our fix is a full de-glaze, new setting blocks, new gasket material cut to the mullion profile, and a proper drainage-plane check so the water that does get past the outer seal has somewhere to go other than your drywall.
• CWS Series 8500 sliding glass door with an arched transom above: roller failure accelerated by a misaligned transom load. The transom is fixed; the door panel below it moves. If the transom’s dead load is not carried properly by the header and the door frame is carrying part of that weight, the rollers on the sliding panel grind down fast. The symptom owners describe: the door was smooth for a decade, then suddenly hard to move and noisy. The real cause is rarely just worn rollers, which is what the first repair guy replaced. We check the header load path, re-level the transom, then replace the rollers with a stainless-steel set that actually matches the track profile.
• CWS single-hung units with custom grid patterns: grid rattling and glass-to-grid contact. On shaped windows with internal grids, the grid frame and the glass become too close when the IGU settles or the frame flexes. The rattle is annoying, but the real risk is grid-to-glass contact that causes a stress crack over time. We remove the sash, inspect the IGU for internal grid clips that have failed, and reset or replace the grid system. If we catch it before the glass cracks, it is an hour of work. After the crack, it is an IGU replacement. That is a good example of why we tell Davie customers to call when the sound starts, not when the crack shows up.

Our CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Here is how a typical CWS custom window job runs at TruePane Windows & Doors, from the first call to the final walkthrough. No surprises, no change orders, no second appointment left hanging.

1. 1
   The call. You reach a live person at (863) 208-5172. We ask what you are seeing: fog, binding, water, noise, a crack. We ask the window’s age and location in the house. If it is a CWS unit, we note the series if you can read the etching or the sticker.
2. 2
   The site visit. One of our uniformed, background-checked technicians comes to your Davie home. We measure every opening twice, because on a geometric window, “close enough” is not. We photograph the unit, check the frame for square, and note the condition of flashing, sealant, and drainage.
3. 3
   The parts decision, on paper. If the job needs a replacement IGU, sash, operator, or hardware, we quote OEM CWS-compatible parts and a quality aftermarket alternative side by side, with prices and the warranty difference in writing. If we think the right call is a full replacement using another manufacturer line we carry, like PGT or CGI, we will say so plainly and show you why.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We schedule the work. For custom geometric units, the IGU is often fabricated to order, so we will tell you the real lead time and then hit it. On the day of the install, we protect the work area, remove the old unit, re-prep the opening, set the new or repaired window true in both planes, and seal it with the right product for the Florida climate.
5. 5
   The test. Before we call the job done, we run the window through its full range of motion, check the seal lines, and water-test the exterior where appropriate. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is not a slogan; it is the standard Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard at the shop.
6. 6
   The paperwork. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with the durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. Then we hand you the invoice, which matches the quote. The Done Right Promise is already in effect.

What CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Davie

Straight numbers are more useful than vague reassurances, so here is what we see in Davie across the CWS work we do regularly. These are honest ranges, not teaser prices.

• Single CWS custom-shaped IGU replacement (fogged or cracked arch, trapezoid, or circle): $450-$950 installed, depending on size, shape complexity, and whether the unit is impact-rated. Curved glass pushes the price to the top end.
• CWS casement or awning hardware replacement (operator, hinges, crank): $180-$380 per unit, including adjustment and re-squaring the sash.
• CWS roller and track service on sliding doors and windows: $220-$420 per panel, with stainless-steel rollers where the track allows.
• Full re-glaze and gasket replacement on a large CWS geometric fixed unit: $600-$1,200, depending on glass size and access.
• Complete replacement of a CWS custom geometric window with a new impact-rated unit from one of our manufacturer lines (PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems): $1,500-$4,800 per opening, driven by size, shape, and impact requirements.

What moves the price: shape complexity, second-story access, impact-rating requirements, and whether the existing frame is salvageable. What does not move the price after we quote it: anything. We write line-item quotes, and we do not hand you surprise line items at the end. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate on your CWS window. We will tell you what it costs and whether it is worth fixing or replacing. We hold a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and that applies to our CWS work.

Why Davie Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

Dale Kessler grew up off Orange Drive near the old Davie Arena, the son of a glazier who kept a shop van parked in the driveway most nights. He learned the trade formally at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and he has been measuring, setting, and sealing windows in Broward County for going on twenty-six years. When a CWS window fails its first serious storm, neighbors call Dale. That is the kind of reputation you earn one job at a time.

We are an independent CWS service provider, which means we answer to you, not to a manufacturer’s warranty department. We know which CWS parts hold up and which ones we will not put back in your wall. And when a CWS unit is not worth saving, we can quote you a replacement from PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems without blinking, because we are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. We show you side-by-side quotes on paper so you know exactly what you are buying. The Done Right Promise covers every CWS repair we do, and The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave. If it is not right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing.
