How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CWS 380 Series roller drag and track wear. The 380 is a single-hung impact window common in older Westchester ranches, and we regularly see the balance rollers wear into the track, leaving the sash heavy on one side. The fix is usually a roller and track cleaning plus a balance adjustment, not a whole new window from us or the manufacturer.
- CWS 680 Series sill weep blockage. Westchester’s heavy summer rain finds every clogged weep hole in the 680 horizontal slider. Debris and hard-water scale from sprinkler overspray block the sills, water pools, and the frame starts showing salt-and-sun corrosion. We clear the weeps, replace damaged weatherstrip, and reseal the sill flashing so the water leaves the way it was designed to.
- High-velocity hurricane zone seal fatigue on older CWS casements. Westchester sits well inland from the coast, but CWS casements installed 12 to 15 years ago with original gaskets dry out from heat and sun exposure, compromising the water and air seal. You’ll feel a draft or hear wind whistle at the hinge side. We replace gaskets and re-square the sash rather than tell you to replace a window that still has years of life.
- Laminated glass haze at the edge of CWS impact sashes. We see edge haze form on CWS laminated glass when the interlayer absorbs moisture through a failed perimeter seal, which happens more often on west-facing walls in Westchester that take the full afternoon sun. Haze can’t be buffed out, but we swap in a matching CWS-compatible sash or glass pack, matched to the existing frame color and glazing bead.
- CWS 700 Series multislide patio door stacking misalignment. The stacked sashes drift out of line when floor rollers wear unevenly, and in Westchester homes with older masonry frames, even a 1/8-inch slab shift compounds it. We pull the sashes, replace rollers, and shim the track back to true so the panels stack flush and the interlock seals the way CWS engineered it.
Our CWS Impact Windows Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach us at (863) 251-5864. We ask what the window’s doing, when it started, and whether it’s a CWS or just stamped as one.
- 2
We come out and inspect. A background-checked, uniformed tech arrives at your Westchester home, checks the sash, frame, track, rollers, seals, and glazing, and gives you a straight diagnosis. No charge for the trip.
- 3
Parts decision. We match the part to your CWS series and tell you honestly whether OEM makes sense or a quality aftermarket equivalent does the same job for less. We don’t upsell OEM when it doesn’t matter.
- 4
The fix. Whether it’s rollers, gaskets, a new sash, or a full window replacement, we install, align, and seal everything to the manufacturer spec for your model line.
- 5
The test. We cycle the window, check the interlock, run a hose test on the exterior when applicable, and confirm the operation is smooth and the seal is tight.
- 6
The guarantee. Every job leaves under the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Period.

Why Westchester Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for CWS Work
Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and has spent nearly two decades measuring, installing, and standing behind windows and doors, and Westchester has been his crew’s backyard for years. We aren’t affiliated with CWS and we won’t pretend to be. We’re an independent CWS service provider, which means we diagnose first and recommend what’s actually wrong. When CWS isn’t the right answer, we install PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems as authorized dealers, so we’re not trying to force one brand into every opening. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the work, and Ed’s name is on the business. That means the job doesn’t end when we pull out of your driveway.
FAQs
CWS warranties typically cover the glass and frame against defects for the original owner, but normal wear items like rollers, gaskets, and balances are rarely included after the first couple of years. We can tell you up front whether your issue is likely a warranty claim or a repair job, and we won’t sell you work a manufacturer should cover. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll sort it out together.
Yes. CWS parts are available through a few distributor channels, and we keep a stock of the common rollers, gaskets, balances, and glazing beads for the 380, 680, and 700 lines. When OEM is backordered or priced unreasonably, we’ll offer a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you exactly what you’re getting. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll check availability while you’re on the phone.
Hard-to-open is almost always a roller, balance, or track alignment issue, and that’s repairable for a few hundred dollars. We replace the window when the frame is rotted, the glass seal has failed, or the damage is structural, not just inconvenient. Get us out to look, and we’ll give you an honest answer either way. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free diagnosis.
Most CWS service calls are scheduled within the week, and if we have the parts in stock, the repair itself is usually a one-day job. We don’t promise impossible timelines, but we do show up when we say we will, and we call if anything changes. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll put you on the schedule.
No. You get a line-itemed written quote before we begin, and the price on the quote is the price you pay. If we find something unexpected, we stop, explain it, and get your approval before proceeding. No change orders sprung on you at the end. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll quote it straight.
