CWS Construction in Plantation, FL | Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale
CWS construction work in Plantation means windows, roofs, and the structural details around them, and that’s what we handle every week. Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale is an independent CWS service provider, not a dealer or authorized affiliate, and our crew knows the brand’s framing, flashing, and window-installation patterns from tearing into enough of these systems to know what fails first. Plantation’s tree ordinance and older CBS housing stock make CWS jobs here different from Sunrise or Davie, and we plan for that before the first cut. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free estimate.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
We run CWS construction jobs in Plantation full-time. That means slab-level waste-line reroutes, second-story pop-tops, impact window swaps on 1960s ranches, and roof replacements where the flashing ties into CWS window frames. Luca Romano, our owner and General Contractor in Plantation, trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College reading structural plans, and he’s been on Broward County jobsites long enough to know that a Plantation house built in 1972 will hide surprises a 2005 townhome won’t. We’re not a CWS dealer. We’re an independent crew that has pulled enough original CWS single-hungs and sliders to know exactly where they leak, bind, and fail in this climate. Every job runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time, and photo updates before and after. You’ll know who’s walking into your home before they arrive, and the invoice number matches the number you approved. That’s the standard on every CWS job in Plantation, not an upgrade.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Leaking CWS Series 9000 impact windows on original CBS walls. Plantation’s daily summer thunderstorms punish old flashing. We commonly find rotted wood bucks behind frames where the original sill flashing was skipped or failed, and the leak shows up as water streaks on interior drywall after an afternoon storm.
- Corroded CWS aluminum frames from trapped humidity. Inland Plantation doesn’t get the salt spray Lauderdale-by-the-Sea does, but high humidity plus old aluminum equals pitting at the sill corners. Once the frame is pitted through, chasing leaks is a losing game, and we’ll tell you straight when replacement beats repair.
- Failed CWS window balances and roller assemblies. Older CWS sliders and single-hungs in Plantation’s 1970s and 80s homes often have original balances that are shot. We retrofit with code-listed Miami-Dade aftermarket stainless roller assemblies and heavy-duty balances when CWS parts are out of production.
- Roof flashing failures where CWS windows meet fascia. Plantation’s low-pitched roofs from the 1960s and 70s drain poorly at the eaves. When the roof underlayment fails near a CWS window, water tracks down the frame and into the wall cavity. We re-flash with self-adhered membrane into the masonry and replace rotted fascia.
- Jalousie window teardowns in original ranch homes. Drive through Plantation Isles off Broward Boulevard and you’ll still see original CWS jalousie windows. They’re air-leaky, they don’t meet current code for impact, and remodeling around them is a false economy. We pull them, re-frame the opening, and set impact-rated CWS units properly flashed for HVHZ.
CWS Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Plantation’s tree-preservation ordinance is the one local factor that changes how a CWS window or roof job gets planned here, and it’s not something a generic Broward County page will tell you. The city requires permits and mitigation for removing or heavily pruning any tree over a certain size on private property, and that extends to where your dumpster sits and where a truck crane parks. On a recent whole-house CWS Series 9000 impact-window swap in the Plantation Isles neighborhood off Broward Boulevard, our crew mapped the tree-drop zones before the first full-frame tear-out. The original single-hungs were so air-leaky that afternoon storms left water streaks down the interior drywall, and after pulling the old frames we found wood bucks under three windows rotted from missing sill flashing. We replaced the rotted lumber, re-flashed with self-adhered membrane into the masonry, set the new CWS Series 9000 windows, and kept the dumpster on the driveway instead of under the two protected oaks. Final inspection passed without a tree-permit hit. That’s the job-by-job dance in Plantation: a cracked root from dumpster weight or a crane pad can trigger landscape mitigation fees, so we plan placement before we ever swing a hammer.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We service the CWS lines most common in Plantation homes: Series 9000 impact-rated single-hung windows, Series 6000 horizontal sliders, Caribbean Awning windows, and the Architectural Aluminum fixed windows you see on older Florida rooms. When the budget and warranty support it, we use genuine CWS replacement parts, especially impact-rated sashes and heavy-duty balances. For older CWS units out of production, we retrofit with code-listed Miami-Dade aftermarket components that meet HVHZ standards. We stock common flashing, gaskets, and roller assemblies locally so a Plantation job doesn’t stall waiting on a parts truck from Orlando. Our material partners include GAF for roofing and James Hardie for exterior trim, so the whole assembly around your CWS windows carries manufacturer backing.

FAQs – CWS Construction in Plantation
Yes, most CWS window replacements in Plantation require a permit, even when the rough opening stays the same. The city’s building department and Broward County’s HVHZ rules treat impact window installation as structural work, and the tree ordinance can add a separate review if a dumpster or crane needs to sit near a protected tree. We pull the permits and handle inspections on every CWS job. Call (754) 354-7423 for the exact permit path on your house.
Keep, yes. Legal to keep in most cases, but not legal to rely on for new code compliance. When you use our Bathroom Remodeling in Plantation, the building department will typically require any window in the remodeled area to meet current impact or shutter requirements if it’s being replaced or altered. We’ll tell you which windows trigger that requirement and which can stay untouched, so you don’t spend money on code upgrades you don’t need.
The tell is where the water shows up. If streaks run down the interior drywall below the window after a storm, it’s usually the wall flashing or a rotted wood buck, not the glass. If you see water pooling on the sill or between the sash and frame, the window itself is the culprit. In Plantation’s CBS homes, the masonry opening is the weak point. We diagnose it with a hose test and a look behind the trim. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll find the actual source, not guess at it.
Yes, we work on CWS windows in Plantation condos and townhomes, including the mid-rise buildings along University Drive. Condo work means matching the association’s specified window appearance and performance, and we coordinate with the board or management company on specs before we order anything. The Relay Visibility Guarantee still applies: written price first, photo updates, and a live arrival time.
Replace the glass when the frame is solid and the failure is a cracked pane or a failed seal. Replace the whole CWS unit when the frame is pitted through, the rough opening is rotted, or the window no longer meets impact code and you’re remodeling anyway. A 20-plus-year-old CWS frame with pitting at the sill corners will keep leaking no matter how good the new glass is. Call (754) 354-7423 for a straight answer on which applies to your house.
