CWS Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent CWS service across Hobe Sound, from Jupiter Island estates to the CBS homes off Bridge Road. We’re not authorized by CWS, but we’ve repaired, retrofitted, and re-glazed enough of their windows and doors in Martin County to know exactly how they fail here. What makes our CWS work different in Hobe Sound is that we file the Florida Product Approval number correctly the first time, so your final inspection clears without a second visit. Call (754) 324-4646 for our Cws services that account for salt air, storm exposure, and the county’s notoriously strict inspectors.
Why Hobe Sound Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up in Rio just south of Stuart and spent nearly two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors along the Treasure Coast before opening TruePane. His father was a glazier for thirty years and handed Dale his first glass cutter at fourteen. So when we say we know CWS products, we mean we’ve been inside enough failed frames to know what a bad install looks like and what a good repair requires.
We service CWS across Hobe Sound with genuine OEM parts whenever they’re still available, especially for locks, rollers, and weatherstripping where tolerances matter for airtight and waterproof performance. For discontinued CWS lines, we source marine-grade or military-spec aftermarket hardware that matches or exceeds the original. And because we’re local, a live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree. When your CWS window won’t close and a storm’s offshore, that matters.
As an independent CWS service provider, we’re not bound by a manufacturer’s playbook. We’ll tell you when a repair is smarter than a replacement, and we’ll say so in writing. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. For CWS service in Hobe Sound, that’s a square deal with no fine print.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hobe Sound
These are the failures we see repeatedly in Hobe Sound homes, and each one ties back to local conditions:
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames and seized sashes. CWS aluminum frames on homes within a half-mile of the Intracoastal show accelerated corrosion at weep holes and hardware bosses. We see it on Bridge Road and along the waterfront corridors where salt-laden onshore winds off the Atlantic strip the protective finish and the sash eventually binds. Most of these are repairable with OEM hardware and proper cleaning, but left alone they become full frame replacements.
- Sagging hinges and stripped crank mechanisms on CWS impact casements. In Hobe Sound’s 1960s through 1980s CBS homes, the original jalousie openings are rarely square. When a CWS impact casement gets inserted into an out-of-true opening, the crank takes constant torque and the hinges sag. We re-square the opening before installing hardware, which is the difference between a window that works for fifteen years and one that binds every spring.
- Glass-to-frame seal failure and interior fogging on CWS Series 6000 fixed windows. Barrier island estates and homes near the Hobe Sound Preserve catch repeated storm-driven salt spray cycles. The seal between glass and frame degrades, and the unit fogs from the inside. In most cases we re-glaze rather than replace the whole frame, which saves thousands on high-end fixed picture windows.
- Sliding glass door rollers and tracks binding in elevated oceanfront homes. Where stainless steel hardware was substituted for original CWS parts during past repairs, the track and rollers corrode at different rates and the door binds. We restore OEM-spec rollers and tracks so the door moves the way CWS intended.
- Failed spring balances on CWS Series 5000 double hungs. The constant humidity and salt air shorten the life of spring balances in Hobe Sound faster than inland markets. We keep common OEM balances stocked locally so the repair doesn’t wait on a distributor.
CWS Service in Hobe Sound: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the detail that trips up crews from Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties: Martin County requires a separate product-approval verification step tied to the Florida Product Approval database on every permitted window and door replacement. Inspectors in Hobe Sound routinely reject our Window Installation in Hobe Sound where the NOA number on the installed CWS unit doesn’t exactly match the submitted permit documents. A single digit mismatch on a jalousie-to-impact upgrade will hold the final inspection until corrected, and you’ll wait another week for the re-inspection.
That’s why our Hobe Sound crews pre-qualify every CWS product approval before installation. We also know that the Intracoastal Waterway cuts directly through the community, which means salt-laden onshore winds off the Atlantic accelerate corrosion of aluminum frames and our Door Installation in Hobe Sound hardware even on impact-rated products. Any property with a water view or within a half-mile of the Intracoastal faces a re-glazing and hardware-replacement cycle noticeably faster than inland Treasure Coast markets like Indiantown. If the opening is right, the rest is just doing the work, and in Hobe Sound, the opening has to be right in more ways than one.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Hobe Sound
We work on the CWS product lines most common in Hobe Sound homes: the Series 4000 casement and awning windows, Series 5000 double hung and sliding windows, Series 6000 fixed and picture windows, and the 4500 Series impact casement and sliding glass doors. For each one we know the failure points that Martin County’s climate accelerates, and we keep OEM-compatible hardware stocked locally for faster turnaround.
When a CWS line has been discontinued, we’re honest about your options. Marine-grade aftermarket hardware can match the original spec and often outlast it in salt air. But there are times when the smarter money is a full replacement. We’ll show you the math on paper, side by side, so you decide with real numbers, not a sales pitch.
CWS Service Pricing in Hobe Sound
CWS service in Hobe Sound depends on the repair scope and the condition of your existing frames. Minor hardware replacement like locks, rollers, or crank mechanisms typically runs $180 to $450 per window. Re-glazing a fogged CWS Series 6000 fixed unit runs $350 to $700 per sash, sometimes less than half of full replacement cost. Full impact-rated CWS installs in Hobe Sound generally start around $1,800 to $3,600 per opening, and that’s where the NOA verification step and permit documentation matter most.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Check the Florida Product Approval label on the frame or sash, then verify the NOA number against the Florida Product Approval database. If you don’t find a label or the number doesn’t match your permit documents, your windows likely fall short of current code. Martin County inspectors are strict about this. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll check the approvals on your CWS units during a free estimate.
In most cases, yes. The chalky oxidation is surface corrosion from salt-laden onshore winds, and we can clean, seal, and replace the damaged hardware with OEM or marine-grade parts. If the frame itself has corroded through at the weep holes or bosses, replacement may be the better long-term call. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll tell you straight which path makes sense.
For most CWS impact windows, the glass can be re-glazed without replacing the entire sash, especially on the Series 6000 fixed units where seal failure is common along the barrier island. Re-glazing restores the impact rating and the thermal seal at a fraction of full replacement cost. We’ll confirm once we open the sash and inspect the frame condition.
The rough opening and the exposure profile. Inland CBS homes in Hobe Sound often have original jalousie openings that are out of square, so the install requires shimming and re-squaring before the CWS unit goes in. Barrier island estates typically have architect-specified openings that are plumb and level, but the units face constant salt spray and require marine-grade hardware and more frequent seal maintenance. We approach each one differently because the failures are different.
We pre-qualify every CWS product approval before installation begins, verifying the NOA number against the permit documents and the Florida Product Approval database. A single digit mismatch will hold your final inspection in Hobe Sound. We file it correctly the first time so you pass inspection on the first visit.
