Window and door replacement in West Palm Beach runs $4,500-$25,000 depending on scope, with impact-rated products required for most exterior openings under current Florida Building Code.

We know the difference between a 1920s El Cid bungalow needing historic-board approval and a 2005-built home in the western subdivisions with failing builder-grade windows - and we plan the job accordingly.

Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve worked across West Palm Beach long enough to know which permits get routed through the historic preservation office and which don’t. That local fluency saves weeks on projects in Flamingo Park and El Cid, where the City’s Certificate of Appropriateness process can stall out-of-area contractors who don’t realize design-board approval precedes the building permit.
Our customers in West Palm Beach consistently mention the same thing in reviews: we show up when we say we will, and we don’t swap in mystery brands after the contract is signed. You choose from our curated roster - Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI - and we build to that spec.
Response time matters here. West Palm Beach sits only 4-8 miles from the Atlantic, and when a tropical system is tracking toward Palm Beach County, homeowners with compromised windows or doors can’t wait. We prioritize West Palm Beach calls during storm season because we understand the urgency - salt air has already been working on your fasteners; a storm finishes the job.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that one contractor should handle every phase of a project. In West Palm Beach, that means your window replacement doesn’t turn into a siding repair subcontractor hunt because we discovered rot behind the frame. We manage the full exterior envelope - windows, doors, siding, roofing - under one accountable team.
Our Windows & Doors Services in West Palm Beach
Window Replacement
Window replacement in West Palm Beach typically costs $4,500-$15,000 for a full-home project, with single openings running less. The eastern ZIPs - 33401 and 33405 - hold dense blocks of 1920s-1950s concrete block and stucco homes where original steel casement windows have corroded past repair. In these historic districts, we spec replacement units that meet design-review standards while delivering modern efficiency. Western subdivisions built in the 1990s-2000s often have vinyl windows that yellowed, warped, or lost their seals early; we replace these with code-compliant alternatives that actually hold up to the heat and humidity.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact window installation in West Palm Beach runs $8,000-$25,000 for a typical single-family home. This isn’t optional luxury here - current Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated products for most exterior openings in wind-borne debris regions, and Palm Beach County sits squarely in that zone. We source from PGT and CGI for hurricane-rated options, plus Andersen and Pella for architectural-grade impact lines. The 2004 double-hurricane season - Frances and Jeanne landing three weeks apart - triggered a county-wide rebuilding wave, and that cohort of now 18-20-year-old impact installations is entering its first major replacement cycle. We’re seeing concentrated demand across West Palm Beach as these aging systems reach end of service life.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
For homeowners who want protection without full window replacement, we install code-compliant hurricane shutters and protection systems. These integrate with existing openings and provide a backup layer when storms track toward the coast. We evaluate your current window condition, the wind-load requirements for your specific West Palm Beach neighborhood, and recommend a solution that matches your risk profile and budget.
Door Installation & Sliding Patio Doors
Entry door and sliding patio door installation rounds out our West Palm Beach work. Salt-air corrosion attacks hardware, weatherstripping, and threshold systems - especially in eastern neighborhoods. We spec marine-grade fasteners and hardware as standard, not an upgrade, because anything less fails prematurely in this environment. For patio openings, we offer impact-rated sliding systems from multiple manufacturers so you’re not locked into one look or price point.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We work with eight window and door manufacturers across every tier: Andersen, Pella, and Marvin for architectural and wood-clad projects; Milgard and Jeld-Wen for mid-range vinyl and fiberglass; Simonton for cost-effective coastal performance; and PGT and CGI for impact-rated and hurricane-certified lines. You choose the brand, we handle the build. That applies to hardware too - we regularly spec Kohler and Moen for associated trim and fixture work when window and door projects extend into bathroom or kitchen renovations. We don’t stock proprietary lines or push whatever’s moving slow in the warehouse. Our relationships with these manufacturers mean faster lead times for West Palm Beach customers and direct warranty support if issues arise.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Builder-grade windows in 2000s subdivisions failing simultaneously. The post-2004 rebuilding wave flooded western West Palm Beach with code-minimum vinyl windows that are now 18-20 years old. Seals have failed, frames have warped, and many were never impact-rated to begin with. We’re replacing entire neighborhoods’ worth of these units.
- Salt-air corrosion of fasteners and hardware in eastern neighborhoods. Homes in Flamingo Park and near the Intracoastal see accelerated metal fatigue. Hinges corrode, locks seize, and sliding door rollers flat-spot from the combination of salt, sand, and humidity. We spec stainless steel and marine-grade alternatives.
- Historic district compliance gaps. Contractors unfamiliar with West Palm Beach’s Certificate of Appropriateness process install non-compliant windows in contributing historic structures, then face stop-work orders and redesign delays. We coordinate with the preservation office before permit application.
- Pre-Andrew and transitional code windows in 1990s construction. Western ZIPs like 33411 and 33412 contain homes built during Florida’s loosest code era or immediate post-Andrew transition. These windows often lack proper wind-load ratings and leak during sustained tropical rain events.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Yes, if your property is in a designated historic district like Flamingo Park or El Cid and is classified as a contributing structure. The City’s Historic Preservation Board must approve your window design before you can apply for a building permit. We handle this coordination as part of our project management - most out-of-area contractors don’t even know this step exists, which is why their projects stall. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify your property’s status and timeline.
10-12 years is realistic for standard openers in coastal Palm Beach County, compared to 15-20 years inland. Salt air corrodes circuit boards, chains, and safety sensors. We spec myQ-enabled openers with battery backup and sealed housings for longer service life. If your opener is original to a 2004-2006 post-hurricane rebuild, it’s likely due.
Yes, for most exterior openings in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. Current code requires either impact-rated windows or permanent shutter systems that meet ASTM standards. Replacement projects must comply with the edition of the code in effect at permit application - not the code from when the house was built. We permit every job to current standards.
Post-2004 builder-grade doors were often code-minimum products installed during the frantic rebuilding rush after Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. Many lack adequate wind-load reinforcement for their exposure category, and 18-20 years of salt-air corrosion has weakened hardware and springs. We recently upgraded a builder-grade garage door in a 2005-built home in the Villages of Wellington - a western West Palm Beach neighborhood - that had a failing opener and no wind-load rating. Our crew installed a hurricane-rated insulated door with a Wi-Fi-enabled myQ opener, sealing the gaps that let in salt air and humidity, ensuring it meets current Florida Building Code.
Remote monitoring, automatic closing alerts, and battery backup during power outages - which are frequent during West Palm Beach tropical storms. You can verify the door is closed from anywhere, receive notifications if it’s left open, and operate it during outages when standard openers fail. Integration with home security systems is standard on most myQ models we install. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss smart opener options with your next door replacement.
