CWS Patio Door Installation in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
CWS patio door installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $4,600 for a full replacement, with labor and haul-away included. We install and replace CWS sliding glass doors and hinged patio doors as an independent CWS service provider, usually completing a standard slider swap in one day. The price goes on paper before we start, and it does not change at the door.
This page is for West Palm Beach homeowners who already own CWS patio doors, or are buying a home with them, and need straight answers about installation, repair, and cost. If your CWS door is sticking, leaking, or the rollers sound like gravel, call us at (728) 728-9381. We answer the phone.
How CWS Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
CWS builds a solid South Florida door. But every line has its weak points, and in West Palm Beach heat and humidity, those weak points show up faster. Here is what we see on service calls, and what we do about it.
- CWS sliding door rollers seize from corrosion. The original rollers on many CWS sliders are steel-cased, and coastal air eats them. The door gets heavy, then the track starts to scar. We replace them with stainless or polymer-cased rollers sized to the CWS frame so the door moves with two fingers again.
- Weep holes clog and the track floods. CWS doors use a weep system to drain storm water from the track. Once they plug with pollen and sand, water pushes over the threshold and into the floor. We clear the weeps and reseat the threshold with new sealant, and check for frame-end drainage.
- Interlock astragal misalignment on taller sliders. On CWS panels over 96 inches, the center interlock can drift out of plane and let air or water through. We square the panel and reset the interlock, which is a job that requires lifting the panel off the track. Not a shim-and-hope fix.
- Handle sets come loose and strip. The interior handle on CWS doors takes a beating. If the spindle strips, the latch will not engage fully. We use OEM CWS hardware when available, or a machined aftermarket match when OEM lead times would leave your door unsecured for weeks.
- Fogged glass on older insulated CWS panels. That haze you cannot clean off is a failed seal, and in West Palm Beach humidity it gets worse fast. We replace the insulated glass unit, match the low-E coating to the existing panel, and keep the CWS frame in service when it is still square and sound.
One CWS-specific detail worth knowing: the torque spec on CWS panel adjustment screws is tight, and over-cranking them to “fix” a dragging door is the most common DIY mistake we repair. Measure it right the first time and the install explains itself.
Our CWS Patio Door Installation Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers at (728) 728-9381. We book a time, send confirmation, and show up when we said we would. Uniformed, background-checked, no surprises.
- 2
Site inspection and measurements. We measure the rough opening, check the floor for level, and inspect the existing frame for rot or water damage before quoting anything.
- 3
Written price, before work begins. You get a line-item quote on paper. The number on that quote is the number on the invoice. No door-knock revision.
- 4
Removal and preparation. Old door out, haul-away included. We inspect the sill and flashing, and fix any water intrusion issues before the new CWS door goes in.
- 5
Installation and sealing. The new CWS door is set square, shimmed, anchored, and sealed with flashing tape and sealant matched to the existing opening.
- 6
Operation test and walkthrough. We run the door through full travel, check the lock, the interlock, the weep drainage, and show you everything before we leave. Then we put the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call Meridian Windows and Doors West Palm Beach for CWS Work
We are not the manufacturer. We are the installer that comes back. Every CWS patio door installation in West Palm Beach gets the same treatment: a written price, a uniformed technician, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it fails within a year, we come back at no charge. Not pro-rated, no labor exclusions buried in fine print.
Elliot Vance and the crew have been installing doors in West Palm Beach for over a decade, from mid-century homes in Northwood Hills to newer construction near CityPlace. We carry eight manufacturer lines, so if CWS is not the right fit for your opening, we spec PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, or another line that is. The point is the right door, not the one we happen to have on the truck.
A meridian is a fixed line you measure everything against. That is what the name means and how we run every install.
FAQs
No. CWS products are warrantied by the manufacturer, and installation by a qualified independent CWS service provider like Meridian Windows and Doors West Palm Beach does not void the manufacturer’s warranty on the door itself. We install to manufacturer spec, and we document the job so you have the record if you ever need it. Call (728) 728-9381 with your specific CWS model and we will walk you through it before scheduling anything.
Yes. Most CWS patio doors in West Palm Beach can be repaired with new rollers, realignment, hardware, or glass replacement, at a fraction of replacement cost. We only recommend replacing when the frame is bowed, the glass seal has failed on the insulated panel, or the door no longer squares up. We will show you the measurements that support the call, not just tell you to trust us. Call (728) 728-9381 for an honest assessment.
Most standard CWS slider replacements take one day from arrival to cleanup and test. Hinged doors, impact-rated specs, or openings that need rot repair add time. We will give you a realistic timeline on the written quote, and we do not pad it to buy slack. Call (728) 728-9381 to talk through your specific job.
Yes, when the frame and the remaining panel are still in good shape. We match the glass package, the finish, and the hardware as close as the current CWS product line allows. If the line has been discontinued or the tint has shifted, we will tell you straight up before you spend anything. Call (728) 728-9381 with the model number on your door’s corner stamp.
Most like-for-like patio door replacements do not require a permit, but if your job does, we handle the permit and the inspection. We do not cut that corner, and we do not hand you a permit problem to figure out. Call (728) 728-9381 and we will check your opening and applicable West Palm Beach code before we recommend the job.
