New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Clewiston pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

CWS Custom & Geometric Windows in Clewiston: What to Know First
We install and service CWS custom and geometric windows in Clewiston as an independent CWS service provider, with most measured surveys scheduled within 48 hours and written quotes delivered before any work begins. A typical CWS custom or geometric window replacement in Clewiston runs from $890 for a standard arched fixed unit to $4,200 for oversized impact-rated geometric combinations, and we do not start a job until you have that number in writing. This page is for CWS owners in Clewiston and nearby areas who need arched, curved, trapezoid, or oversized custom windows and want to know what failure looks like, what fixing it costs, and who will actually show up. Call (863) 509-1135 to schedule your free measured survey.
How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CWS Custom Impact (CI-Series) - seal decompression in arched tops. The curved aluminum extrusion on CI-Series custom arches creates a slightly longer thermal expansion path than rectangular frames. In Clewiston’s humidity cycle, that differential movement works the glazing tape loose at the crown. We’ve replaced dozens of these in homes near the U.S. Sugar Corporation corridor where afternoon heat buildup is severe. Our fix: pull the sash, clean the extrusion channel to bare metal, and reinstall with a two-part structural silicone back-bedded to CWS spec - not generic caulk. The measured survey notes the exact radius so the replacement glass ships pre-cut.
- CWS Geometric (G-Series) fixed trapezoids - corner weep clogging. The G-Series uses a single bottom-weep design that sits low in the frame. On trapezoid units installed with the short leg down, debris collects in the acute corner faster than the weep can drain. We see this on east-facing geometric banks where morning rain hits hard. We clear the weep track, verify the slope with a digital level, and if the geometry allows, add a secondary weep port per Florida Building Code drainage requirements. The photo record shows before and after flow testing.
- CWS Custom Vinyl (CV-Series) - bowing in oversized fixed units over 72 inches. The CV-Series reinforced vinyl frame carries a 72-inch maximum span in the manufacturer’s engineering tables, but we’ve found that Clewiston’s combination of high solar heat gain and occasional wind gusts from the lake can stress 68-inch and wider units after five to seven years. The symptom is a visible bow in the horizontal rail and, eventually, operable sash binding in adjacent units. Our fix: sister the frame with aluminum reinforcement channel, or spec a CWS aluminum custom unit if the opening allows. We document the deflection measurement in the written scope.
- CWS Custom Impact (CI-Series) - laminated glass delamination at geometric cutouts. Impact-rated laminated glass in custom shapes requires CNC cutting after lamination, which leaves a raw edge exposed to Clewiston’s salt-laden air during certain weather patterns. The interlayer can separate starting at the cut, visible as a fog line that doesn’t wipe off. We source replacement laminated glass from CWS-approved fabricators with post-cut edge sealing, or specify a warm-edge spacer upgrade if the unit is being replaced. The parts decision - OEM glass versus certified third-party - is noted in writing before ordering.
- CWS geometric combination units - mullion seal failure between dissimilar shapes. When a rectangular operable is mulled to a fixed arch or trapezoid, the mullion joint sees stress from the different deflection characteristics of each shape. CWS uses a snap-in mullion cover with a foam bulb seal; after several years of Clewiston heat cycling, the bulb compresses permanently. Water enters at the joint and pools in the sub-sill. We remove the cover, replace the bulb seal with a silicone extrusion rated for 200°F continuous exposure, and re-bed the mullion to the frame with structural tape. The fix outlasts the original assembly.
Before
AfterOur CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a printed license number, measures the rough opening and the existing frame in three planes, and records sightline dimensions to 1/16 inch. You keep a copy of this document.
- 2
Failure diagnosis. We identify the CWS series, document the failure mode with photos, and test operability where applicable. For geometric units, we verify the radius or angle against CWS fabrication tables.
- 3
Parts decision in writing. We specify OEM CWS parts, certified compatible components, or a full-unit replacement, with the price difference noted. No parts are ordered until you approve the written scope.
- 4
Installation per CWS spec. Rough-opening prep, frame leveling, and glazing follow CWS installation guidelines - we do not substitute methods that would void your remaining warranty coverage.
- 5
Testing and photo record. Every unit is operated, sealed, and water-tested where accessible. The documented photo record goes to you within 24 hours.

Why Clewiston Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Clewiston for CWS Work
We’ve installed and serviced more than 18,000 openings since 2012, and a measurable share of those have been CWS custom and geometric units in South Florida’s humidity zone. Our technicians carry license numbers, not just business cards. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into every job, not offered as a courtesy if you complain loudly enough. And because we also specify PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, we can recommend a different manufacturer when a CWS unit is not the right fit for the opening - no margin-driven pressure to sell what’s in stock. Measure it right the first time. Everything after that is just paperwork.
FAQs
It depends on who does the work and what parts they use. As an independent CWS service provider, we use OEM or certified-compatible parts and follow CWS installation specifications, which preserves any remaining warranty coverage. Work by unlicensed installers or with uncertified parts typically voids it. Call (863) 509-1135 and we’ll review your warranty status during the free estimate.
A standard geometric replacement in Clewiston takes one day for installation once parts arrive; custom-fabricated CWS units typically ship in four to six weeks. We do not start demolition until the replacement is in our warehouse and inspected. Call (863) 509-1135 to schedule your measured survey and get a written timeline.
We can often source from CWS’s archived extrusion dies or specify a compatible profile from another manufacturer in our line - PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or ECO Window Systems - that matches the sightline dimension within 1/8 inch. The measured survey determines whether a match is possible. Call (863) 509-1135 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
Repair makes sense when the frame is square, the glass is intact, and the leak is at a seal or weep. Replacement is the better value when the frame has deflected, the laminated glass is delaminating, or the unit is past 15 years and CWS parts are scarce. We document both options in writing with prices for each. Call (863) 509-1135 to schedule the survey.
Yes, when Florida Building Code requires it - which is any impact-rated replacement or any change to the rough opening dimensions. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and pass it. The permit number goes on your written scope. Non-impact repairs to existing frames typically do not require permitting. Call (863) 509-1135 to confirm for your specific job.
