Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Davie’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been pulling permits and installing windows and doors across Davie long enough to know the difference between a standard Broward County build and one that has to clear Davie’s equestrian overlay zoning. That dual-permitting sequence, where Davie’s Planning and Zoning Division signs off on equestrian use compatibility before Broward County Building Division issues the structural permit, trips up out-of-town contractors who treat barn and paddock doors like ordinary accessory structures. We don’t.
Our crew knows the 1960s-1980s concrete block ranch homes that dominate Davie’s older neighborhoods, and we know the newer master-planned communities where builder-grade doors and windows were spec’d to pass inspection, not to perform for fifteen years. Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that you choose the brand and we handle the build, and that applies whether you’re replacing a rotted Jeld-Wen slider in Pine Island Ridge or upgrading to impact-rated PGT windows on a home near Griffin Road.
We carry 50+ recognized industry brands across every category we touch, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI for windows and doors. That means Davie homeowners aren’t locked into whatever’s on our truck. You pick the tier that matches your budget and your home’s exposure.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Davie
Impact Windows & Doors
Davie sits in a hurricane zone where unsealed glass sliding doors fail impact tests and shatter under wind-borne debris. We install impact-rated windows and doors from PGT and CGI that meet Miami-Dade and Broward County product approval standards, and we size them for the larger openings common in Davie’s ranch-style homes. A typical impact window installation in Davie runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count and frame material.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The west-facing rear walls on many Davie homes take brutal afternoon sun, and builder-grade aluminum sliders warp their tracks within a few seasons. We replace these with vinyl-framed or thermally broken aluminum units from Milgard or Simonton that roll smoothly and seal tight. In the equestrian zones near SW 136th Avenue, we’ve also installed heavy-duty sliding barn doors for equipment storage that meet agricultural building codes while matching residential trim requirements.
Window Replacement
Davie’s 1960s-1980s housing stock still runs on original single-pane aluminum windows that bleed conditioned air and rattle in every thunderstorm. Window replacement in Davie typically costs $4,500-$15,000, and we spec double-pane, low-E coated units that cut the heat gain those west and south exposures generate. We replaced the windows on a 1974 CBS ranch near Orange Drive last year; the homeowner’s FPL bill dropped noticeably the first summer.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Not every Davie homeowner wants full impact glass. We install accordion, roll-down, and colonial-style hurricane shutters that meet Florida Building Code requirements for wind-borne debris protection. For homes in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, which cover portions of Davie, we factor in elevated finished-floor requirements when we measure and mount shutter housings so your protection doesn’t become a water intrusion point.

We order through normal distribution channels, so lead times are standard, not inflated by middlemen.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Builder-grade garage door torsion springs corrode and fail within 5-7 years in Davie’s salt-laden air, causing doors to slam shut without warning. The humid coastal conditions accelerate rust on uncoated spring wire, and we’ve replaced dozens of these on homes built since 2015.
- Non-insulated steel garage doors on west-facing homes turn attached garages into ovens, spiking temperatures above 110°F and damaging stored items, increasing cooling load on adjacent living spaces. We regularly upgrade these to insulated polyurethane foam-core doors that hold R-values of 12-18.
- Unsealed glass sliding doors fail impact tests and leak or shatter during storms because they were installed before current Florida Building Code requirements or were never rated for high-velocity hurricane zones. This is especially common in Davie’s pre-1994 housing stock.
- Original aluminum windows in 1960s-1980s Davie homes have failed thermal breaks and corroded weep systems, causing condensation damage to interior drywall and window stools during summer humidity spikes.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Davie, FL
| Service | Typical Range in Davie |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
These ranges cover most Davie homes we see, from modest three-bedroom ranches to larger equestrian-property residences with above-average opening counts. Final pricing depends on frame material (vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, or wood), glass package (standard, low-E, or impact-rated), and whether we encounter rot in the existing rough openings that needs structural repair. Homes in Davie’s flood zones sometimes require additional sill pan flashing detail that adds labor. We provide itemized, upfront estimates before any work begins, and every estimate is free. Call (844) 665-0162 to get your specific numbers.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Davie
Shutters that meet Florida Building Code standards for high-velocity hurricane zones satisfy the code requirement, so impact windows are not mandatory if you have compliant shutter protection. Many Davie homeowners choose impact windows anyway for the convenience of permanent protection and the cleaner look, especially in HOA communities like Weston Hills where exterior aesthetics are regulated. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll walk through the cost difference for your specific openings.
Yes, we install myQ-enabled belt-drive and chain-drive openers that connect to your home’s Wi-Fi for remote monitoring and control. We replaced the single-layer steel garage door on a 2020-built home in the Weston Hills community with a double-layer insulated 2″ polyurethane foam-core door, pairing it with a myQ-enabled belt-drive opener for Wi-Fi monitoring. The homeowner’s original opener struggled in the humid heat; our new setup runs quieter and holds the cool better, and we also upgraded the side-entry door to match the equestrian-style trim the HOA requires.
Builder-grade non-insulated steel doors have an effective R-value near zero, while our upgraded polyurethane foam-core doors rate R-12 to R-18, cutting heat transfer by 90% or more. In Davie’s climate, that difference means a garage that stays below 85°F instead of spiking past 110°F on summer afternoons, which protects anything you store there and reduces the thermal load on living spaces above or adjacent to the garage.
Yes, and this is where Davie’s unique zoning matters. Davie is one of the only municipalities in all of South Florida that maintains an active equestrian overlay zoning district, meaning construction contractors here regularly permit and build barns, paddocks, feed storage structures, and agricultural outbuildings. Any builder operating in Davie must navigate both Broward County building codes and Davie’s equestrian zoning requirements simultaneously, which creates a specialized dual-permitting process. A contractor pulling a permit for a new barn or equestrian shelter in Davie’s A-1 or equestrian overlay zones must get sign-off from Davie’s Planning and Zoning Division specifically for equestrian use compatibility before Broward County Building Division will issue the structural permit. We handle that sequence. We’ve installed agricultural-grade entry doors, Dutch doors for stall access, and side-entry doors that satisfy HOA trim requirements while meeting agricultural code.
Window upgrades alone typically do not change your flood insurance premium, which is based on FEMA flood zone designation, finished-floor elevation relative to base flood elevation, and building occupancy type. However, if your window replacement is part of a larger substantial improvement that triggers elevation requirements under Broward County floodplain ordinances, the overall project could affect your rate. We coordinate with local floodplain administrators when permits touch FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in Davie. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll flag any flood-related permit triggers before we start.
