CWS Construction in Las Lomas, CA | Framework Contractors
We’re Framework Contractors, an independent CWS service provider working throughout Las Lomas and the surrounding Salinas Valley. If you own a mid-century home here with CWS windows and doors, you already know the drill: foggy glass, sticking sliders, and rot where fog meets wood. We fix all of it, and we know exactly how Monterey County permits and farmland dust rules shape every job in Las Lomas. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate.
One thing to know up front: we are not authorized, sponsored, or warranted by CWS. We’re an independent contractor who has spent years installing, sealing, and repairing CWS window and door lines across the Salinas Valley’s older wood-frame housing. That matters in Las Lomas, where the fog, winter rain, and dry summer wind test every window and door on your property. We run on CWS sales & service knowledge that comes from hands-on work, not a training manual.
Why Las Lomas Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Noel Carbajal, our owner, grew up patching stucco and reroofing porches with his uncle in Santa Ana. After the Construction Technology program at Santiago Canyon College, he spent nearly three decades building and remodeling across Orange County before expanding Framework Contractors into the Salinas Valley. His sons have both worked summers on the crew, and one stayed on full-time. That kind of background means we approach CWS work in Las Lomas the way a builder would, not just a parts swapper.
Las Lomas is unincorporated Monterey County, which changes everything about how a project gets permitted and how dust gets managed. We’ve pulled those county permits, dealt with the ag-buffer setbacks, and worked next to active row-crop fields. Homeowners here call us because we already know the answers to questions they’d otherwise have to figure out themselves.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Las Lomas
- Seized aluminum slider tracks. Dry summer wind pushes field dust and grit into the tracks of older CWS aluminum sliders. By late summer, the rollers bind and the sash feels welded shut. We pull the sash, clean the track, and install OEM CWS rollers where they’re still available.
- Fog-and-dew rot on sill plates and lower jambs. In pier-and-beam homes, morning fog and dew condense on window frames, and moisture wicks through the floor cavity into the wood. We see sill plates that look fine at eye level but are mush below the surface. We repair or sister the framing, then seal it properly.
- Cracked glazing gaskets and shrinking seals. The sun and dry summer wind in Las Lomas bake the life out of older CWS gaskets. Once winter rain hits, those dried seals become active leaks. We replace the gaskets with OEM or quality aftermarket glass units and get the sash tight again.
- Fogged double-pane insulated glass. Older vinyl CWS sashes eventually lose their sealed-unit integrity. Fog builds between the panes, and there is no way to clean it. We replace the glass unit rather than the whole frame when the frame is still sound.
- Warped or rotted mid-century frames. If a frame has already twisted from years of fog-side moisture and temperature swings, new hardware is not going to save it. We tell owners straight when it’s time for a full CWS service in Gilroy-style replacement rather than another patch.
CWS Service in Las Lomas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Las Lomas sits in an unincorporated pocket of Monterey County where construction projects don’t run on city permits. Our CWS window and door projects here run on Monterey County building permits rather than city permits, and work near active row-crop fields frequently requires a dust-control plan the county reviews before framing or window installation can start. That single fact changes how fast a job moves, how much prep it takes, and what the inspector looks for on day one. A window swap three miles away in an incorporated city skips all of that. Here, we build the dust plan into the job from the first site walk.
We’ve worked on mid-century wood-frame homes off Las Lomas Road in the 95076 area where the CWS aluminum sliders over the sink were seized from field dust and the pier-and-beam rim was rotting from fog-side condensation. On that job, we pulled the Monterey County permit, replaced the failed units with new sealed vinyl sliders, sistered and sealed the sill framing, and filed the county-required dust-control plan so the work could proceed next to an active row-crop field. That’s what working in Las Lomas actually looks like.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Las Lomas
We service the CWS product lines most common in the Salinas Valley’s older housing stock: CWS aluminum sliding windows, CWS vinyl single-hung windows, CWS Series sliding patio doors, and CWS metal-clad wood windows. For replacement parts, we lean on OEM CWS rollers, glazing seals, and glass units where they’re still available. When OEM parts are discontinued, we substitute quality aftermarket hardware that matches the original dimensions and function. On mid-century windows and doors, we’re honest with owners when sealing and hardware repairs are wasted money on a frame that warp and rot have already made past saving. We also handle full window replacement, impact window installation, and home additions built around the existing CWS openings.
If you’re deciding between repair and replacement, the free estimate includes a straight answer on what’s worth doing. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll walk the property with you.

FAQs – CWS Construction in Las Lomas
Yes. Las Lomas is unincorporated, so Monterey County issues the building permits, not a city building department. We pull those permits for you and handle the paperwork from application to final inspection.
Dry summer wind blows fine field dust and grit into the aluminum slider tracks. By late summer, the rollers bind and the sash seizes. We clean the track, replace worn rollers, and usually restore smooth operation without replacing the whole window. Call (844) 681-3590 for an exact quote.
Often, yes. We remove the affected sill plate or lower jamb section, sister in new framing, seal the area against future moisture, and reinstall the window. If the rot has spread into structural framing, we’ll tell you straight and scope the repair before starting.
Yes, when the frame is still square and the sash is structurally sound. We replace the failed insulated glass unit with OEM or quality aftermarket glass, which costs less than a full replacement and stops the fog permanently.
No, we are not authorized, sponsored, or warranted by CWS. We’re an independent contractor. Any CWS manufacturer warranty remains between the homeowner and the manufacturer; our workmanship, permits, and parts installation are on us. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered.
