CWS cabinetry built its reputation on plywood boxes, dovetail drawers, and finishes that withstand daily use. In Boca Raton, that reputation meets a harder test: Atlantic humidity, salt air infiltration in beach-adjacent homes, and the city’s dual-track permitting through both the building department and private Architectural Review Boards. We’ve handled enough CWS kitchens and baths in this market to know which hinges, drawer glides, and face-frame details are actually in the wall before we open it. Our crew stocks CWS-compatible parts locally, so we’re not ordering blind and waiting two weeks to find out the match is wrong.

The Haven Standard, which Rowan Construction Group operates under, requires a written price before any work starts. For CWS projects, that means a line-item quote: cabinet boxes, door skins, glides, countertops, backsplash, labor, and permit fees if ARB approval is required. No change proceeds without a signed change order. That discipline is why our projects finish within a few percent of the number the customer agreed to.

Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton for Your CWS Construction?

Grant Rowan grew up in Beverly Hills, CA, where his father spent weekends restoring a 1960s ranch house and handed him his first framing square at age nine. He trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades learning how buildings actually behave under load, in heat, and through permitting offices. Grant has led projects across Boca Raton, including tenant build-outs and structural repairs near Mizner Park, and his crew is known for documentation-first scheduling: every phase signed off before the next one begins. “Measure twice, document everything, then build” - that’s the practice he coaches on Saturday youth baseball fields, where the infield teaches the same lesson as a good foundation: level matters before anything else does.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers calls 24/7. Every visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. When we arrive for a CWS service call, we photograph the existing condition, note the model line and failure mode, and deliver a written scope with a flat price before any tool comes out of the truck.

We know CWS products specifically. The Charleston door style in antique white. The Providence raised-panel oak. The Designer Series maple line. The white thermofoil bath cabinets that were standard in so many 1990s Boca Raton builds. We’ve seen what this climate does to each. That specificity matters because CWS dealer support for discontinued lines is thin in South Florida; independent crews with the right parts knowledge are often the only path to a matched repair.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Fix in Boca Raton

• Thermofoil door skins peeling and bubbling. CWS white thermofoil bath cabinets and some Charleston series doors were factory-finished with a vinyl skin over MDF core. In unconditioned Florida utility rooms, garages, and beach-adjacent homes where AC cycles off seasonally, that skin delaminates. The adhesive softens in heat and humidity, bubbles form at panel edges, and the skin pulls away in sheets. We’ve replaced dozens of these with matched aftermarket doors that use a higher-grade thermofoil or solid paint-grade replacement.
• Face-frame rails splitting at hinge screws. CWS face-frame construction uses hardwood rails and stiles with a plywood panel. Over years of door sagging - especially on wide base cabinet doors loaded with pots - the hinge screws wallow out and the frame splits. The real fix is not longer screws; it’s relocating to solid wood with a hardwood dowel or epoxy plug, then installing soft-close hinges with a wider mounting plate that distributes load. We check the frame integrity before quoting; if the rail is cracked through, we sister in a matching hardwood repair block.
• Laminate countertop edges delaminating near sink and dishwasher. CWS base cabinets with factory laminate tops see repeated water exposure at the sink cutout and dishwasher return. The particleboard substrate swells, the edge banding lifts, and the laminate cracks. In Boca Raton’s humidity, that swelling accelerates. We remove the damaged top, assess whether the cabinet base has taken moisture (common with particleboard bottoms), and quote either a local repair or a full quartz replacement over the existing CWS boxes.
• Particleboard cabinet bottoms sagging under load. Some CWS lines used particleboard shelving and base bottoms to hit price points. Heavy stand mixers, countertop appliances, and stacked cookware cause visible sag. The permanent fix is a sistered plywood bottom, cut to fit and sealed at edges against humidity, with upgraded full-extension glides that carry weight to the cabinet sides instead of the floor. We’ve done this repair in Boca West, Woodfield, and Broken Sound homes where the original CWS kitchens are otherwise sound.
• Drawer glides failing at the rear bracket. Standard CWS drawer kits used lightweight metal rear brackets that fatigue under load. The drawer tilts, binds, and eventually jams. We replace with CWS-compatible soft-close full-extension glides with heavier-gauge steel brackets, mounted into solid hardwood blocking where the original bracket stripped out. The difference in daily use is immediate: drawers that slide quietly and stay level when loaded.

CWS Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

CWS cabinet boxes are worth saving when the frame and plywood are sound. We replace hinges, glides, and door skins with matched aftermarket and OEM-compatible CWS parts rather than tear out a solid run. Our local inventory includes CWS-compatible soft-close hinges, full-extension drawer glides in standard 18-inch and 21-inch lengths, and thermofoil-matched door blanks we can cut to CWS Charleston and Providence profiles.

When thermofoil has failed across a whole door face, or substrates have swollen from a leak, honest replace is cheaper than chasing patch after patch. We’ll tell you which. A Boca Raton homeowner in a 1990s build had CWS Charleston cabinets with thermofoil skins peeling on three upper doors and a sagging drawer base under the cooktop. We sourced matched aftermarket doors and CWS-compatible soft-close glides, then sistered a new plywood bottom into the base cabinet and re-sealed it against the humidity. Two years on, the run is square, quiet, and still lines up with the original CWS frame.

Our CWS Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with documentation. We photograph every CWS cabinet run, note the model line, measure door and drawer openings, and test each hinge and glide for wear. In Boca Raton, we also check for humidity damage patterns: bubbling thermofoil, swollen bottoms, salt-air corrosion on hardware in beach-adjacent homes.
2. 2
   Written scope and flat price. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Your quote lists each CWS part by description, labor by phase, and any ARB or permit fees if your community requires them. No “call for a quote” - the number is on the page.
3. 3
   Repair or install with signed change order. If we find additional damage once work begins - a cabinet base we couldn’t see behind the dishwasher, for example - work stops until the change order is signed. That’s the discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and the reason projects finish within a few percent of the agreed price.
4. 4
   Testing and photo record. Every door is swung, every drawer loaded and cycled, every hinge adjusted. We deliver a documented photo record of what was found and what was done, included as standard.
5. 5
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. The guarantee is printed on every page and backed by a terms page, not an asterisk.

CWS Products We Service & Install in Boca Raton

We work with CWS Charleston door style in antique white; CWS Providence raised-panel oak cabinets; CWS Designer Series maple cabinet line; and CWS Bath Cabinets in white thermofoil. For each, we stock or source CWS-compatible hinges, glides, door skins, and matching hardwood face-frame repair stock.

Our local inventory covers the most common CWS configurations found in Boca Raton’s 1970s-through-1990s housing stock: 30-inch and 36-inch base cabinets, 12-inch and 15-inch uppers, and the 24-inch drawer bases that fail most often under load.

We Also Service These Brands

Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton is not a single-brand shop. We source and install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets; Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone countertops; Kohler and Toto fixtures; GAF and Owens Corning roofing; and Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. That breadth means the written quote for your CWS project includes honest numbers on adjacent trades - countertop, backsplash, plumbing - rather than inflated single-source pricing.

FAQs - CWS Construction Service in Boca Raton

Is Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton authorized by CWS?

No. We are an independent CWS service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by CWS. We source OEM-compatible and matched aftermarket parts based on hands-on familiarity with CWS product lines, not factory certification. Our expertise comes from field experience with CWS installations across Palm Beach County, not dealer training.

Can you still get replacement doors and drawer fronts for a discontinued CWS cabinet line?

Often yes. We maintain relationships with suppliers who stock or can fabricate matched door blanks to CWS Charleston, Providence, and Designer Series profiles. For thermofoil lines that are truly obsolete, we quote paint-grade hardwood replacements that match the original dimensions and hinge boring. Call (754) 254-8065 with your model information; we’ll verify availability before scheduling.

My CWS thermofoil doors are peeling in the Boca Raton humidity - is refacing or replacing the better call?

It depends on extent and substrate condition. Localized peeling on one or two doors: refacing with matched aftermarket skins or solid replacement doors is cost-effective. Widespread bubbling across multiple doors, or swelling in the MDF core beneath: replace. The humidity here doesn’t stop, so patching failing thermofoil is temporary. We’ll photograph the damage and quote both paths. Call (754) 254-8065 for a free estimate.

Do you install quartz or granite countertops over existing CWS base cabinets?

Yes, when the CWS boxes are level, square, and dry. We inspect the cabinet tops for sag, the bases for moisture damage, and the structure for adequate support of stone weight. Most CWS plywood-box cabinets built after 1985 handle quartz or granite with proper support brackets at seams and overhangs. The quote includes templating, material, fabrication, and installation.

What’s involved in a small CWS kitchen remodel rather than a full gut?

Typically: cabinet door and drawer replacement or refacing, new hinges and soft-close glides, countertop replacement, backsplash, and any layout adjustments that don’t require moving plumbing or electrical. We keep the CWS boxes if they’re sound, which saves $4,000-$8,000 against full replacement. A small CWS kitchen refresh in Boca Raton runs $9,000-$20,000 depending on countertop material and linear footage.

How do you handle a CWS drawer base that has sagged under heavy dishes?

We remove the drawer, inspect the bottom panel and glide mounting points, and sister in a new plywood bottom if the original particleboard has sagged or delaminated. We replace lightweight original glides with CWS-compatible full-extension soft-close hardware mounted into solid hardwood blocking. The drawer returns to level operation and carries more load than it did new.
