This page is for Fountainebleau homeowners who own CWS windows and want someone who actually knows the product line, the local climate, and the difference between a repair that lasts and a band-aid that fails next hurricane season.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS builds a solid window, but every product line has its weak spots. Here’s what we actually see on CWS windows in Fountainebleau, series by series:

• CWS 70 Series single-hung with fogged glass: The seal between the glass panes breaks down over time, especially on the west-facing walls that take that brutal Fountainebleau afternoon sun. You’ll see condensation you can’t wipe off, or a milky haze. We don’t patch seals. We reglaze the sash with a fresh insulated unit, typically Low-E with argon, and your CWS frame stays intact. Cost is usually 30-40% of a full replacement.
• CWS 80 Series casement with crank sag: Casement hardware takes heavy use in Florida’s open-the-breeze season, and we routinely see stripped gears or bent arms from kids cranking too hard. The window itself is fine, but a sagging sash kills the weather seal and leaks conditioned air. We replace the hardware, realign the sash, and the window closes tight again. This is a $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 job, by the way.
• CWS Coastal line with water intrusion at the sill: This one’s common in Fountainebleau because of the driving rain we get off the Everglades in summer. The weep holes clog with dirt and pollen, water backs up, and over time the sill seal degrades. We clear the weeps, check the sill dam corners, and reseal with a commercial-grade sealant that actually holds up to South Florida UV. If the sill extrusion is damaged, we can fabricate a replacement instead of condemning the window.
• CWS horizontal sliders with worn roller assemblies: Sliders get dragged across grit and sand, and those roller wheels flatten. You’ll feel it grind or the panel will stick halfway. The worn rollers drag the weatherstripping, which opens air gaps that show up on your FPL bill. We swap in new roller assemblies and replace the pile weatherstripping while we’re in there.
• Fogged insulated glass on CWS fixed picture windows: Fixed windows shouldn’t fail early, but if the original install didn’t slope the sill properly, water sits against the glass edge and eats the seal from the outside in. We see this on homes where the builder rushed the job. New insulated unit, corrected drainage, done. And because we do roofing too, we can spot when the real problem is a leak above the window, not the window itself.

Our CWS Energy-Efficient Windows Process

Here’s what a CWS window job looks like when you call Winslow Windows & Doors in Fountainebleau:

1. 1
   You call (727) 620-6983. A person answers. Not a call center, not a callback number. We ask what the window’s doing and schedule a visit that works for you.
2. 2
   A uniformed, background-checked tech arrives. You’ll know who’s coming before the truck parks. Our tech inspects every CWS window you flag, checks the sashes, seals, glass units, and the install work around the frame.
3. 3
   We tell you what’s actually wrong. If it’s a failed glass unit, we say so. If the issue is the original installation, we say that too. You get a written line-item quote with no vague allowances.
4. 4
   Parts come from CWS or proven aftermarket suppliers. We use OEM when the warranty demands it or when nothing else matches. Otherwise, we’ll spec a quality aftermarket insulated unit that meets or beats the original spec, often at a better price.
5. 5
   We do the work right the first time. Proper sealant, proper drainage, proper alignment. We test the window for air infiltration before we pack up.
6. 6
   You’re covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s Ed’s word, and Ed’s name is on the door, literally.

What CWS Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Fountainebleau

Here are honest ranges for the CWS work we do most often in Fountainebleau:

• Fogged CWS insulated glass replacement (single sash): $350-$650, depending on size and whether it’s Low-E or clear glass.
• CWS casement hardware repair with realignment: $180-$320, and remember the $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 discount.
• Full CWS slider roller and weatherstripping rebuild: $280-$480 per panel.
• Complete CWS 70 or 80 Series replacement window (installed): $900-$1,800 per window, driven by glass package, frame size, and whether you want impact-rated glass.
• Window energy audit with CWS-specific report: $149, credited toward any repair over $400.

What moves the price: glass package (Low-E with argon is more than clear), window size, access (second floor, over a lanai, landscaping in the way), and whether the original installation was done well enough to reuse the frame. We don’t pad quotes. You’ll know the number before we start, and it won’t change when the invoice comes. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate on your CWS windows.

FAQs

Will replacing the glass in my CWS window void the manufacturer’s warranty? It depends on the warranty terms and the age of the window, but we handle warranty-safe repairs carefully: when a job requires OEM parts to preserve coverage, we use them, and we’ll tell you upfront if a repair choice could affect any remaining warranty. Whenever possible, we match the original spec.

How long does it take to get CWS replacement glass? Most CWS insulated glass units arrive from our suppliers within 5 to 7 business days, and we can often have your window repaired within 3 to 5 business days of the glass arriving. If a storm has just passed through, lead times stretch, so call early before the next hurricane season.

Should I repair my fogged CWS window or replace the whole thing? Repair is almost always the better call if the frame, sash, and hardware are still sound. You keep the window’s structural integrity, spend a fraction of replacement cost, and fix the actual problem: the failed glass seal. If the frame is rotted, warped, or water-damaged, replacement makes more sense, and we’ll tell you honestly which camp you’re in.

Can you fix just one CWS window, or do you require a minimum job size? We fix single windows. No minimum job size, no pressure to bundle. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll send a tech to look at the one window giving you trouble.

Do you give free estimates on CWS energy-efficient window work in Fountainebleau? Yes. Estimates are free, and if you’re in our home county, there’s no trip charge. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, and seniors and veterans get 10% off, every job, no expiration.
