Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
We’ve learned that Palm Beach homeowners don’t want surprises. They’re investing in properties where a single exterior paint color change can require Architectural Commission approval, and where a roof replacement on a 1926 Mizner estate demands cast-stone matching that most contractors have never encountered. Our team has walked these projects before - from the landmarked compounds along North Lake Way to the waterfront homes near Everglades Island.
What separates us from contractors who commute from the mainland: we understand that ARCOM meets monthly, not on demand. We’ve built relationships with the specialist plasterers, terracotta fabricators, and pecky-cypress craftspeople who still work in this market. And because we’re a single-source contractor, you’re not coordinating a roofer, a Windows & Doors - Palm Beach specialist, and a hardscape crew who’ve never spoken to each other - we handle every phase, every trade, every material sample submission.
Our clients in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach return to us because the project they approved is the project that gets built. No substitutions for convenience. No “we’ll figure it out later.”

Palm Beach’s coastal wind-speed zone and the prevalence of clay barrel-tile roofs on landmarked properties require specific expertise. We work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral to specify assemblies that satisfy both the Florida Building Code and ARCOM’s aesthetic standards.

Windows & Doors
Impact-rated products are mandatory here, but that doesn’t mean settling for generic. We install Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and impact specialists like PGT and CGI - including architectural-grade lines that preserve the fenestration proportions of Mizner-era homes.
Fence Installation
Palm Beach Fence Installation for privacy fencing, estate perimeter walls, and decorative aluminum or vinyl systems - we source from Barrette and other manufacturers whose products withstand salt corrosion better than standard-grade alternatives.
Driveway & Pavers
Our hardscape team handles Driveway & Pavers in Palm Beach with Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc on driveways, courtyards, and pool decks. In Palm Beach, where ARCOM governs even driveway materials and patterns, we submit full samples and elevation drawings with every proposal.
Home Additions & ADUs
Considering our Home Additions & ADU in Palm Beach by expanding a landmarked estate or adding a guest cottage? We offer traditional stick-built construction plus prefab partnerships with Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, and Boxabl - modern, fast-track options where the site and ARCOM timeline allow.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach
We’ve completed projects across the island’s distinct residential enclaves, each with its own character and, often, its own ARCOM considerations:
- North End - Estate properties and compound renovations requiring extensive historic-preservation coordination
- Everglades Island - Waterfront homes with demanding exterior envelope and marine-grade material requirements
- Palm Beach Estates - Mid-century and newer construction where impact-rated upgrades and modern additions predominate
- South End - Mix of landmarked villas and renovated properties near the Par 3 Golf Course
Most Palm Beach consultations are scheduled within 48 hours of your call.
Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Every project in Palm Beach starts with geography. This is a barrier island barely a mile wide at points, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Salt air circulates constantly, not directionally. We’ve seen aluminum window frames corrode in five years that would last fifteen in West Gate. Steel lintels above arched doorways deteriorate from the inside out. Fasteners on ocean-facing decks simply fail if they’re not marine-grade from day one.
The housing stock compounds these challenges. The 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival estates - many designed by Addison Mizner or his followers - were built with poured concrete slabs, CBS walls, ornamental cast-stone, and clay barrel-tile roofs. These aren’t decorative flourishes; they’re structural systems that require specialist knowledge to repair or replicate. A roofer who knows asphalt shingles but has never sourced matching terracotta barrel tiles will not succeed here. A window installer who doesn’t understand how to maintain the proportion and shadow lines of original steel casement windows will draw ARCOM rejection.
Then there’s the code layer. Post-2002 Florida Building Code wind-speed requirements for this coastal exposure zone are non-negotiable. Impact-rated windows and doors, engineered roof assemblies, and specific fastening patterns are mandatory - and the Town of Palm Beach’s own building department enforces these standards with rigor that exceeds what we see in mainland municipalities. We engineer for this from the first drawing, not after the first inspection failure.

FAQs About Construction in Palm Beach
ARCOM review adds 6-12 weeks to most exterior projects in Palm Beach, and sometimes longer if revisions are required. The Commission meets on a fixed monthly schedule, and missing a submittal deadline by even one day pushes review to the following month - a reality that out-of-town contractors frequently underestimate. We build this timeline into every Palm Beach proposal from the start. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss your project’s specific ARCOM path.
Yes - we maintain relationships with specialist subcontractors and suppliers who fabricate cast-stone balustrades, terracotta roof tiles, and pecky-cypress ceiling panels for restoration work. These aren’t off-the-shelf products; they’re custom-quoted based on existing conditions and ARCOM’s material standards. Material matching is standard on our landmarked Palm Beach projects, not an upgrade.
Impact-rated windows and doors are required by the Florida Building Code for Palm Beach’s coastal wind-speed zone, and the Town’s building department enforces this strictly. We specify products from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, PGT, and CGI that carry the HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) ratings required here. For landmarked properties, we work with manufacturers who offer impact-rated products in profiles that satisfy ARCOM’s design standards.
Spot repair of isolated tile breakage or underlayment failure typically costs $5,000-$15,000, while full replacement runs $45,000-$120,000+ depending on roof complexity and whether the original tile can be salvaged or must be custom-matched. On landmarked properties, ARCOM often requires in-kind replacement rather than substitution, which can influence the repair-versus-replace calculation. We’ll inspect your roof and give you both options with real numbers. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule.
That’s exactly what we specialize in. As a single-source contractor, we coordinate kitchen and bathroom remodels with concurrent roofing, window, or hardscape projects - one timeline, one point of accountability, no gaps between trades. This matters especially in Palm Beach, where exterior work triggers ARCOM review and interior work may not, and where sequencing the two correctly prevents costly re-work. From driveway to roofline, one contractor handles every phase.
