We’re Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida, and our team handles full window and door projects for Palm Beach homeowners from the estate section near Worth Avenue to the waterfront properties along South Ocean Boulevard. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate - we’ll walk your property, assess your existing fenestration, and give you upfront pricing that accounts for Palm Beach’s unique ARCOM review timeline.
Living on a barrier island surrounded by salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal means every fastener, frame, and hinge in your home corrodes faster than inland construction. We’ve replaced original steel window hardware on homes near the Flagler Museum that had turned to dust after ninety years of exposure. That local reality shapes how we spec materials, how we sequence your project, and why we keep impact-rated, corrosion-resistant options from Andersen, Pella, and Marvin ready for Palm Beach conditions.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Our crew knows the difference between a standard window swap and a landmarked estate replacement requiring full ARCOM elevation drawings with material samples. We’ve navigated the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission review for multiple properties in the Estate Area and along Chilean Avenue, where design standards govern massing, materials, and fenestration down to the hardware finish. That expertise saves our clients months of delays that out-of-town contractors routinely underestimate.
We maintain a strong local reputation across Palm Beach County, with homeowners in West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, and Lake Park referring us to neighbors for exterior envelope work. Our response time to Palm Beach is typically same-day for consultations, and we stock parts and materials calibrated for coastal corrosion - not inland specs that fail early here. Raymond Estevez leads our project planning personally, and you’ll speak with him directly when ARCOM coordination or historic-preservation detailing enters your scope.
We’re not a window-only shop that disappears after install. Our Windows & Doors team is embedded within a full-service residential construction company that handles roofing, hardscaping, and home additions under one contract. One contractor, every phase. No coordination gaps between your window replacement and the stucco repair, trim carpentry, or structural reinforcement that follows.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Custom Windows & Doors
Palm Beach’s 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival estates weren’t built for off-the-shelf vinyl inserts. Addison Mizner’s original fenestration patterns - arched casements, divided-light proportions, pecky-cypress surrounds - require custom milled frames when replacement becomes necessary. We partner with Marvin and Pella’s architectural-grade divisions to fabricate impact-rated units that mirror historic profiles, then shepherd those samples through ARCOM’s monthly review cycle. You choose the brand, we handle the build. And the bureaucracy.
Impact Windows & Doors
Post-2002 Florida Building Code wind-speed requirements for Palm Beach’s coastal exposure zone mandate impact-rated glazing on all new and replacement openings. That means laminated glass, reinforced frames, and hardware tested to withstand missile-impact simulation. We source impact-rated product lines from Andersen, PGT, and CGI that satisfy the Town building department’s rigorous enforcement while meeting ARCOM’s aesthetic standards. For landmarked properties, this often means custom wood-clad impact frames rather than standard aluminum - higher material cost, but the only path to approval.
Door Installation
From pivoting entry doors on North Lake Way estates to sliding glass systems opening onto Lake Worth Lagoon, door replacement in Palm Beach demands corrosion-resistant hardware and proper flashing for salt-air exposure. We see too many installations fail at the sill pan or jamb seal because the crew treated this like an inland job. Our door installations include marine-grade fasteners, proper WRB integration with your existing stucco or cast-stone surround, and coordination with structural engineers when we’re cutting new openings into CBS walls.
Window Replacement
Original steel casement windows on pre-1945 Palm Beach homes are past their service life. The glazing compound has hardened, the operating hardware has seized, and the frames themselves are bleeding rust onto stucco surrounds. Full replacement with modern, thermally-broken, impact-rated units typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a standard Palm Beach home, with landmarked properties requiring custom work at the higher end. We assess whether your existing openings can accommodate standard sizes or whether custom fabrication - and the associated ARCOM review - is unavoidable.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We work with 50+ recognized industry brands across every residential construction category, and our window and door installations draw from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI. For Palm Beach’s historic and luxury market, we most often specify Marvin’s Signature Collection or Pella’s Architect Series - both offer custom sizing, divided-light patterns, and wood interiors that satisfy ARCOM’s material standards while delivering modern impact performance. We don’t lock you into proprietary products. You choose the brand that matches your budget and your home’s character; we handle the engineering, the ARCOM submittal, and the install.
Our relationships with these manufacturers mean faster lead times on replacement parts when salt-air corrosion claims your hardware mid-season. That’s not theoretical - we’ve had homeowners near the Breakers call in October when their original brass window latches finally gave out, and we had matching hardware from Pella’s heritage line in hand within days.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Original steel springs and hinges on 1920s-1940s carriage-house doors snap from decades of salt-air corrosion, often with no replacement parts available. We recently replaced a failing one-piece sectional door on a Mizner-era garage off Via Mizner, where the original steel springs had snapped and the aluminum track had corroded from the incessant salt air. Because the estate is landmarked, we custom-fabricated impact-rated wood-framed doors that mimic the 1920s carriage-house style, and we coordinated with ARCOM to get the color and hardware approved before we pulled the permit.
- Legacy one-piece doors lack impact rating required by the post-2002 Florida Building Code, failing inspection and leaving openings vulnerable in storms. Many Palm Beach homeowners don’t discover this until they’re selling and the buyer’s inspection flags non-compliant garage or patio doors. Retrofit with impact-rated custom units, or full replacement - we’ll tell you which path makes sense for your timeline and ARCOM status.
- Decorative cast-stone and terra-cotta surrounds on Mediterranean Revival openings crack or spall, and modern aluminum frames clash with the historic aesthetic, complicating ARCOM approval. We keep masonry restoration specialists and trim carpenters on call to rebuild surrounds before new windows go in, so your installation doesn’t look like a retrofit - it looks like original construction.
- Condensation between panes on early insulated-glass retrofits means the seal has failed and the thermal performance is gone. In Palm Beach’s humidity, this accelerates frame rot and mold at the sill. We see this most on 1980s-1990s replacement windows that weren’t impact-rated to begin with - a full upgrade to modern laminated-glass units solves both the condensation and the code compliance in one project.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes, if your property is within the Town of Palm Beach and visible from the public right-of-way, ARCOM review is required for virtually all exterior alterations, including window and door replacement. The Commission meets on a fixed monthly schedule and requires fully rendered elevation drawings with material samples - miss the submittal deadline by a day and your project waits another month. We prepare ARCOM packages as part of our standard pre-construction process for Palm Beach clients. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll confirm your property’s landmark status and timeline.
Original steel springs on 1920s-1940s Palm Beach carriage-house doors corrode from decades of simultaneous Atlantic and Intracoastal salt-air exposure, and replacement parts for vintage hardware often no longer exist. The springs aren’t just fatigued - they’re chemically compromised. We replace with marine-grade, corrosion-resistant hardware and can fabricate custom impact-rated door systems that maintain historic appearance. For an assessment of whether your hardware is salvageable, call us for a free inspection.
Yes, but they must pass ARCOM’s design standards, which typically requires custom milled frames that mirror the original fenestration patterns rather than standard aluminum units. We work with Marvin and Pella’s custom divisions to fabricate impact-rated, wood-clad windows with divided-light proportions and hardware finishes that satisfy both the Building Code and the Architectural Commission. The additional lead time and cost are substantial, but it’s the only legal path for landmarked properties. We’ll walk you through the exact requirements for your home.
A full-home impact window replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $8,000-$25,000, with landmarked properties or custom architectural requirements trending toward the upper range. Standard sizes, non-landmarked homes, and vinyl or fiberglass frames keep costs lower; custom wood-clad units with heritage hardware for ARCOM compliance push pricing up. We itemize every line - windows, frames, installation, permit, ARCOM submittal, and any masonry or trim restoration - so you see where your money goes. Call (844) 665-0162 for a precise quote; estimates are free.
ARCOM review typically adds 4-8 weeks to your project timeline, depending on where your submittal falls in their monthly meeting cycle and whether revisions are required. Local GCs learn early that missing the submittal deadline by even one day means waiting another full month. We build this reality into every Palm Beach proposal and coordinate our fabrication lead times around the ARCOM schedule so your project doesn’t stall after approval. For current meeting dates and our availability, call (844) 665-0162.
