CWS Roof Repair in West Palm Beach: What to Know First

CWS roof repair in West Palm Beach usually runs between $250 and $900 depending on whether we’re sealing flashing, replacing a cracked skylight frame, or re-bedding a curb-mounted unit that’s been leaking into the ceiling. Most CWS repairs take one visit, and we stock the common seals, gaskets, and fasteners so you’re not waiting on a parts order from out of state. We price the repair honestly on paper before we start, and the estimate is free.

This page is for homeowners in West Palm Beach who own a CWS roof window, skylight, or roof-mounted glass unit and want it fixed by someone who actually works on the brand, not someone learning on the job. If you’ve got water staining on the ceiling under a CWS unit, call us at (561) 264-1279 and we’ll tell you what we’re likely dealing with before we even roll the truck.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS fixed skylights leaking at the curb joint. The most common call we get in West Palm Beach is water running down the inside of a CWS fixed skylight after heavy rain. Nine times out of ten the glass itself is fine. The leak is where the aluminum curb meets the roof membrane, and it’s usually because the original installer used the wrong sealant for our salt air and UV exposure. We pull the old bead, clean the seat down to clean metal, and re-seal with a marine-grade product rated for South Florida roofs. The skylight stays, the leak stops.
• CWS operable venting skylights that bind or won’t close flush. CWS made a line of manual venting skylights, and after ten or fifteen years of West Palm Beach humidity, the hinge pins corrode and the operator mechanisms get stiff. When the unit won’t seat flush, it leaves a gap that lets in rain and bugs. We replace the hinge hardware and adjust the operator so the sash closes true and the weatherstripping actually meets the frame. It’s a repair most people don’t need to replace the whole unit for.
• Fogged glass in CWS insulated roof units. A fogged seal in a roof window isn’t just an eyesore. It means the insulating gas has escaped and the glass is working less against heat gain. We see this more on CWS units that face due south over West Palm Beach rooftops, where afternoon sun bakes the edge seals until they fail. We can reglaze many CWS units with new insulated glass instead of replacing the whole curbed assembly, which saves you hundreds on a job that doesn’t need to be a full replacement.
• Flashing and counterflashing separation on CWS roof penetrations. CWS roof windows sit on a curb, and where that curb meets the shingle or tile, the flashing takes a beating from wind-driven rain and the occasional tropical storm. Once the flashing lifts or splits, water finds the gap. We see it most on older West Palm Beach homes with barrel tile roofs, where the original flashing was never re-bent to the tile profile. We fabricate and install new flashing that actually follows the roof surface and seal it to the CWS curb properly.
• Interior condensation turning into ceiling stains. Some CWS units were installed years ago without adequate interior ventilation, and in West Palm Beach’s humidity, condensation forms inside the frame and drips before the owner realizes it isn’t a leak. The fix isn’t always a new skylight. It’s often a ventilation retrofit or a corrected insulation detail around the curb. We diagnose this accurately before recommending a repair, because we’d rather fix the problem than sell you a unit you don’t need.

Our CWS Roof Repair Process

1. 1
   You call and a person answers. At (561) 264-1279, a live person picks up. You describe the CWS unit and the symptom. We tell you if it sounds like a seal, a hinge, or a flashing issue and schedule the visit.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and the interior. We look at the CWS unit from both sides. Dale Kessler reads a rough opening the way some people read a room, and that means we check the curb, the sealant, the flashing, and the inside ceiling before we tell you anything about the repair.
3. 3
   We price it on paper. Before any work happens, you get a written quote with the parts and labor separated. If we need OEM CWS hardware, we tell you. If a quality aftermarket part will serve better for less, we tell you that too. No surprises on the bill.
4. 4
   We do the repair in one visit. We carry the seals, gaskets, hinge pins, and flashing materials for common CWS repairs, so most jobs get done the same day we quote them.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. Water test, closure test, seal check. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. We don’t leave until the CWS unit closes flush and the sealant is cured enough to hold.
6. 6
   We stand behind it. Every CWS repair we do is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork games.

What CWS Roof Repair Costs in West Palm Beach

What moves the price in West Palm Beach is access. A single-story CWS skylight near an easy ladder set costs less than a unit on a steep tile roof that needs safety equipment and a second tech. Roof type matters too. Barrel tile costs more to reseal than flat shingle, because the flashing work is slower. Call (561) 264-1279 for a free written estimate, and you’ll get a price you can hold in your hand, not a range we tighten later.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

We’ve been working on glass and roof units in West Palm Beach long enough to know which CWS repairs will hold and which ones are a temporary patch. Dale Kessler grew up in Northwood Hills and spent his summers watching his father re-glaze storefront windows along Dixie Highway, so this work isn’t a franchise script to us. It’s the family trade.

We quote CWS repairs side by side on paper, use the right sealants for salt air and hurricane season, and register every warranty layer in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If you’ve got a PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems unit elsewhere on the property, we can look at that too while we’re there. One call, one company, and a live person answers every time. Call (561) 264-1279 and tell us what your CWS unit is doing. We’ll take it from there.
