AfterCWS Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CWS window and door repair, service, and our Window Installation in Sunrise for full-frame replacement across Sunrise, FL. We are not affiliated with CWS or authorized by the manufacturer, but our techs know these product lines from years of field work in Sunrise’s 1960s and 1970s concrete-block homes. What makes our CWS work different around here is that we plan for one thing most contractors miss: the soil under this city is still moving, and it takes an out-of-square rough opening seriously. Call us at (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you an honest read on whether your CWS window or door is worth repairing or should be replaced.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up off Oakland Park Boulevard in Lauderhill and spent his weekends as a kid watching his father caulk and reglaze windows for neighbors who couldn’t afford a contractor. He sharpened the technical side at Broward College’s construction trades program in the early 1990s, and for nearly three decades since, he’s measured, set, and sealed windows and doors across Broward County. His specialty is impact-rated installations that hold their specs long after the permit card comes down. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it.
That local grounding matters when you’re working on original CWS aluminum windows in Sunrise. We know what these openings looked like when they were roughed in. We know what the HOA rules say in Sunrise Golf Village. And we know what a corroded CWS 700 Series sill corner looks like before we even pull the trim. This isn’t a franchise playbook. It’s the same work Dale has been doing since 2008, now carried by a crew that trains apprentices into journeymen and plans on being in Sunrise another thirty years.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Sunrise
Here’s what we see on CWS product lines in Sunrise week after week, tied to what this city actually does to windows and doors:
- White corrosion at the sill corners of CWS 700 and 800 Series aluminum frames. Sunrise sits on drained Everglades wetland, and the persistent ground-level humidity wicks up into the frame corners. That white bloom is aluminum oxide, and it only gets worse with time. We clean it, seal it, or tell you straight when the frame is too far gone to save.
- Seized rollers and binding tracks on original CWS sliding glass doors. The muck soil under Sunrise shifts and settles, and the slab moves with it. An original aluminum slider that opened easily in 1985 now binds halfway across the track. We replace rollers with stainless hardware matched to the original dimensions and re-square the opening when needed.
- Snapped crank linkages on CWS Arquati casement windows. When a rough opening settles out of square, the sash binds. Homeowners force the crank, and the linkage gives out. We see this regularly on Arquati 9500 casements in Sunrise. Repairs use genuine CWS part numbers first, and we adjust the sash so it doesn’t happen again.
- Swollen and split composite jambs on CWS Tuscany entry doors. Sprinkler overspray and ground-level humidity wick upward at the bottom corners of Tuscany door jambs. The composite splits, the weatherseal breaks, and the door starts binding in July. We fix the jamb, reset the door in a squared opening, and seal the bottom edge properly.
- Non-impact CWS glass in a high-velocity hurricane zone. Most original CWS windows in Sunrise predate Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew impact-glazing code. When we replace them, we pull permits and install Florida Product Approval impact-rated products that pass inspection on the first look.
CWS Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you’ll only hear from a contractor who actually works in Sunrise: this city was built out almost entirely between the 1960s and 1980s on drained Everglades wetland, and the organically rich, high-moisture soil still shifts and settles today. That means out-of-square rough openings are endemic in Sunrise’s CBS homes and villas. A CWS 700 Series single-hung that was set true in 1972 may now sit in an opening that’s drifted a quarter inch out of square. You can’t just drop an insert replacement into that and call it done. The right fix is a full frame-and-sash tear-out, a squared opening, and a properly flashed and sealed reinstall. That’s what we do. We also know that Sunrise Golf Village and other 1970s-era HOA-governed villa communities layer deed restrictions on frame color and grid pattern on top of Broward County’s impact-code permit process. We pull the recorded restrictions before ordering a single window, because getting that wrong means redoing the job on your dime.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
Most of our CWS calls in Sunrise are on original CWS 700 Series single-hung aluminum windows and CWS 800 Series sliding glass doors from the 1960s and 1970s. We also service the CWS Arquati 9500 impact-rated casement windows that many homeowners have installed as replacements, and the CWS Tuscany Series entry doors with composite jambs. Here’s our parts approach: for current-production lines like Arquati and Tuscany, we source genuine CWS part numbers first. For discontinued 700 and 800 Series frames, we use high-grade aftermarket extrusions and stainless hardware matched to the original dimensions. We stock the common rollers, operators, and locking hardware for fast turnaround in Sunrise, and when a frame is badly corroded or the glass is non-impact in an out-of-square opening, we tell you before quoting whether a replacement is smarter than a repair. We also offer CWS sales & service for homeowners deciding between repair and new windows.
CWS Service Pricing in Sunrise
Service calls for CWS windows and doors in Sunrise typically start around $150 to $200, with common repairs like roller replacement on an 800 Series slider running $200 to $400. A full frame-and-sash replacement on a CWS 700 Series single-hung with an impact-rated Arquati 9500 runs $1,800 to $3,200 per opening, depending on size and condition of the rough opening. Entry door jamb repairs on CWS Tuscany doors average $350 to $600. We price the work before we start, and our quotes are line-itemed so you see exactly what you’re paying for. As an independent provider, our repairs don’t void the CWS warranty either. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate; we’ll tell you what the job needs and what it costs, no runaround.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Yes, permitted replacement is required in Sunrise for any window or our Door Installation in Sunrise change, because Broward County classifies the city within a high-velocity hurricane zone. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and the job is only done when the county signs off. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll walk you through the process before we order anything.
It depends on the frame condition and whether the rough opening has shifted. If the track is corroded but the frame is sound, we replace the rollers and clean and realign the track. If the slab has settled and the opening is out of square, we can often re-square and reinstall. If the frame is badly corroded at the corners or the glass is non-impact, we’ll tell you replacement is the smarter spend and quote it straight. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll take a look; estimates are free.
Yes. We pull the recorded deed restrictions for your specific community before ordering, and we match the original CWS frame color and grid pattern to the HOA’s recorded spec. In Sunrise Golf Village and similar 1970s-era villa communities, this is standard. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll pull your community’s restrictions and walk you through the match.
For most Sunrise homes, impact-rated windows are the better long-term play. Shutters protect openings only when they’re closed, and they don’t address frame corrosion, air infiltration, or energy loss. Arquati impact windows meet Florida Product Approval and stay in place year-round, with no storm prep. They’re a bigger up-front spend, but in a high-velocity hurricane zone they make sense. Call (850) 303-7739 for a side-by-side quote; we’ll walk you through the numbers.
We source genuine CWS part numbers first for current-production lines like Arquati and Tuscany, and we registered both warranty layers in writing for every install we do. For discontinued 700 and 800 Series frames, we use high-grade aftermarket extrusions and stainless hardware matched to the original dimensions. Our Done Right Promise covers our workmanship on every job, and we stand behind it with no paperwork fights. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll explain exactly how it works for your specific windows.
