Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Boca Del Mar
Impact window installation in Boca Del Mar typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for a full home, and most projects require permits through Palm Beach County’s Building Division, not Boca Raton’s. We handle that paperwork so you don’t face the delays that stall projects when contractors file with the wrong authority. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate on window and door work anywhere in the 33433 zip code.
We’re based in Fort Lauderdale and regularly on the road to Boca Del Mar for window replacements, impact upgrades, and storm-hardening retrofits. The 1970s and 1980s CBS homes that dominate this community weren’t built to current wind-load standards, and original single-pane aluminum frames are now hitting 40-50 years of service. That combination means window and door failures aren’t a matter of if, but when the next tropical system tracks through.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Our Windows & Doors team knows the jurisdictional split that defines Boca Del Mar. This unincorporated Palm Beach County community shares a Boca Raton mailing address, but every permit must route through the county’s Building Division in West Palm Beach. We’ve seen contractors file with Boca Raton, wait weeks, then learn they started in the wrong place. We don’t make that mistake.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve one accountable team, not a parade of subcontractors. In Boca Del Mar, that means we manage the county permit process, the wind-load engineering, and the installation ourselves. You deal with us from first measurement to final inspection.
Our response time to Boca Del Mar is typically same-day or next-day for consultations, and we carry impact-rated inventory from Andersen, Pella, and PGT so we’re not waiting on shipments when hurricane season is bearing down. Most of our Boca Del Mar customers come from referrals in neighborhoods like the Boca Del Mar Country Club area and along Palmetto Park Road corridor.
We don’t do emergency patch jobs or cosmetic touch-ups. We’re the team you call when you need a full window and door package that meets current Palm Beach County code and keeps your home sealed when the wind hits.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Boca Del Mar
Window Installation
New window installation in Boca Del Mar is almost always a code-upgrade situation. The original single-pane aluminum frames in these 1970s-80s CBS homes don’t meet current wind-load requirements, so replacement triggers Palm Beach County’s impact-resistant opening mandate. We install vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass frames from Andersen, Pella, and Milgard, sized to the existing block openings with proper anchoring into the concrete shell. Most Boca Del Mar window jobs run $4,500-$15,000 depending on count and material grade.
Door Installation
Front entry, side garage, and patio door replacements in Boca Del Mar face the same code pressures as windows. We install Jeld-Wen, Simpson, and Therma-Tru entry systems with reinforced jambs that won’t pull loose from CBS walls under wind load. For patio openings, we spec impact-rated sliding and French door systems from PGT and CGI that seal against water intrusion even when the pressure drops. Every door installation includes permit pull through Palm Beach County and inspection scheduling.
Window Replacement
Window replacement in Boca Del Mar often reveals hidden damage. The original aluminum frames corrode at the sill and bow away from the stucco, creating gaps that channel wind-driven rain into the wall cavity. We’ve pulled out units where the block behind the frame was saturated and the wood buck had rotted through. Our replacement protocol includes full rough-opening inspection, drainage plane repair, and proper flashing integration with the existing stucco. It’s more than swapping glass. It’s restoring the envelope.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors are the standard we recommend for most Boca Del Mar homes. Palm Beach County’s wind-speed design requirements effectively mandate impact-resistant openings or code-compliant shutters on any new or replacement work. We install laminated-glass impact systems from PGT, CGI, and Andersen that meet HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) standards without the operational burden of shutters. For homeowners who want both, we also install hurricane shutters as a secondary defense. Impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 for a typical Boca Del Mar home; impact sliding glass doors fall in the same range.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The sliding glass doors original to Boca Del Mar homes are a known failure point. Low-profile flat tracks corrode, flex under pressure, and lose their seal before the glass ever breaks. During a hurricane-season retrofit on a 1970s CBS home near the Boca Del Mar Country Club, our team swapped out original single-pane aluminum sliders for impact-rated sliding glass doors. The old track had corroded so badly the door couldn’t seal, and we had to reinforce the rough opening to meet Palm Beach County’s wind-load code before setting the new unit. Three days of work, and the homeowner had a code-compliant, storm-ready entry. We install impact-rated sliding systems from PGT and CGI with reinforced headers and proper anchoring into the CBS wall.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
For homeowners who want layered protection or need to meet code without full impact-window replacement, we install accordion, roll-down, and colonial-style hurricane shutters. These systems must still meet Palm Beach County’s wind-load and missile-impact standards, and installation requires the same county permitting as window replacement. We source from StormSmart and Atlas, with manual and motorized options. Shutters are often the right choice for budget-conscious homeowners in Boca Del Mar who need code compliance now and plan to upgrade to impact glass later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
Our brand roster gives Boca Del Mar homeowners real choice, not whatever’s in the warehouse. For windows and doors, we work with Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI. That range covers mainstream vinyl through architectural-grade wood and aluminum, plus the impact-rated lines that Palm Beach County requires. We don’t push proprietary products.

For exterior cladding integration on full-envelope projects, we also install James Hardie siding and work with KraftMaid and Wellborn on interior millwork when window replacement is part of a larger renovation.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames with failed seals. The original single-pane aluminum windows in Boca Del Mar’s 1970s-80s housing stock have reached end of life. Salt air and humidity pit the frames, the thermal breaks degrade, and the glazing beads shrink until wind-driven rain pushes straight through the gap. We see this on nearly every pre-1990 home we inspect in the 33433 area.
- Sliding patio doors that won’t seal or lock. The low, flat-track systems original to these homes corrode and flex. Under tropical storm pressure, the track deforms enough to break the seal before wind loads even test the glass. Water intrusion follows. In severe cases, the door panel lifts off the track entirely.
- Unreinforced door jambs in CBS construction. Older homes were built with jambs anchored to wood bucks set in the block, not tied into the wall structure. Under high wind, the jamb pulls loose and the door blows inward or out of the frame. Current Palm Beach County code requires reinforced jambs with proper embedment into the concrete block.
- Failed or missing impact rating on replacement candidates. Many Boca Del Mar homeowners assume their existing windows are impact-rated because they’re heavy or have some tint. They’re not. Impact rating requires laminated glass and specific frame construction tested to HVHZ standards. We verify with marking labels and engineering documentation, not guesswork.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Boca Del Mar
Yes. Every window and door replacement in Boca Del Mar requires a permit pulled through Palm Beach County’s Building Division, not Boca Raton’s building department. Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated county land, contractors who file with Boca Raton trigger rejections that cost weeks. We pull county permits as standard practice on every job. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll handle the paperwork from the start.
Palm Beach County requires openings to meet the 170 mph wind-speed design criteria for its High Velocity Hurricane Zone, or to have code-compliant hurricane shutters installed. Impact-rated windows and doors with laminated glass and reinforced frames satisfy this without shutters. We verify every product’s Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval before installation. Call (844) 665-0162 to confirm your home’s compliance status.
It’s almost certainly not. Impact-rated doors carry permanent labels marking the manufacturer, model, and Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number. Original 1970s-80s sliding glass doors in Boca Del Mar are single-pane aluminum with no laminated glass and no reinforcement. If you can’t find a rating label, assume it needs replacement to meet current code. We inspect and document this during our free estimate.
No. There is no legal bypass for permit and inspection on window and door replacement in Palm Beach County. Any contractor who suggests otherwise is exposing you to failed inspections, insurance problems, and forced removal. We pull permits on every job, schedule inspections, and provide the certificate of completion you need for your records. The permit process typically adds 2-3 weeks to project timeline, which we build into our schedule from day one.
A full window replacement in a typical 1,800-2,400 square foot Boca Del Mar home runs $4,500-$15,000 for standard vinyl or aluminum frames, and $8,000-$25,000 for impact-rated systems. The spread depends on window count, sizes, frame material, and whether rough openings need repair. Most homes in this area have 12-18 openings. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact count and itemized quote - estimates are free.
