This page is for Stuart homeowners who bought CWS roof windows or skylights and now need them fixed right. Not replaced on a guess. Not band-aided with caulk that fails in the next Florida summer. Fixed properly by technicians who know how CWS units fail in this climate and what it takes to make them true again.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

We’ve worked on enough CWS roof windows across Martin County to recognize the patterns. Here’s what actually goes wrong with CWS units in Stuart, and how we address each one:

• CWS Insulated Glass Seal Failure (fogging between panes). CWS roof windows and skylights used insulated glass units with perimeter seals that degrade differently than vertical window glass because they endure constant thermal cycling and direct UV exposure. In Stuart’s salt air and intense sun, a failed seal shows up as persistent interior fogging that won’t wipe away. The fix is a new insulated glass unit, not a sealant patch. We measure the CWS unit precisely, source the correct replacement glass, and set it so the seal carries the load, not the frame screws.
• CWS Flashing and Curb Leaks at the Roof Deck. The most common CWS roof repair call in Stuart is water staining around the skylight opening. The cause is almost never the glass itself. It’s the flashing or the curb assembly losing its seal against the roof deck after years of thermal expansion and hurricane-season rain. We remove the old flashing, inspect the curb for rot or separation, replace what’s compromised, and re-flash with materials sized for the CWS curb profile. A caulk smear on top of old flashing won’t hold through one Florida wet season, and we won’t pretend it will.
• CWS Operator Mechanism Binding or Seizing. CWS venting skylights and roof windows with manual or motorized operators bind over time as the hinges accumulate salt and grit. In Stuart, the combination of coastal air and roof-level heat accelerates this. We disassemble the operator assembly, clean or replace worn hinge components, and re-lubricate with a high-temperature grease rated for this climate. If the original CWS operator is no longer available, we’ll tell you before touching the unit and quote a compatible replacement in writing.
• CWS Weep System Clogging and Channel Overflow. CWS units with weep channels built into the frame design can clog with pine needles, roofing grit, and wind-driven debris during Stuart’s storm season. When the weep channels stop draining, water backs up under the sash and into the ceiling below. We clear the weep passages thoroughly, check the drainage slope of the frame within the curb, and make sure the system moves water the way the manufacturer intended.
• CWS Aluminum Frame Corrosion at Coastal Exposure. If your Stuart home is within a few miles of the St. Lucie River or the inlet, your CWS frames are fighting salt every day. We see pitting and flaking at frame corners and fastener points. The fix depends on severity: light corrosion gets cleaned, primed, and sealed to stop progression. Deep structural corrosion means the frame is no longer safe to reseal, and we’ll tell you straight that replacement is the honest call. We don’t spend your money chasing a repair that won’t hold.

Our CWS Roof Repair Process

Every CWS roof repair in Stuart follows the same sequence, whether it’s a small seal job or a full flashing replacement:

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (754) 324-4646. A live person answers. We ask about the symptoms you’re seeing, the age of the CWS unit, and where the leak or fogging is showing up. Then we schedule a visit.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. Our technician climbs up, checks the CWS unit from the roof side and the interior side, and reads the rough opening and curb condition. We don’t quote a repair until we’ve seen the actual failure.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote. You get the parts and labor separated on paper. If an OEM CWS part is available and it’s the right call, we quote it. If a quality aftermarket part will last as long and save you money, we quote that instead and tell you why.
4. 4
   The repair. We do the work with the right materials for the CWS profile and for Stuart’s coastal climate. No shortcuts on sealant, no wrong-gauge flashing, no reused fasteners.
5. 5
   Testing and cleanup. We water-test the repair, confirm the unit operates correctly, and leave the roof and room cleaner than we found it.
6. 6
   The guarantee in writing. Every CWS roof repair is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

Why Stuart Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We’re an independent CWS service provider. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we won’t pretend otherwise.

If your CWS unit is beyond repair, we’re also authorized installers for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so we can quote honest replacement options side by side on paper. No upsell. No guessing. A square deal.
