Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Andover
Window and door replacement in Andover runs $4,500-$25,000 depending on scope, with impact-rated installations requiring Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers that inspectors verify on-site. Our crew reaches Andover from Fort Lauderdale with same-day response for urgent pre-storm reinforcements and leaking track repairs. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
We know the 33023 corridor well. The postwar CBS homes here, built from the 1950s through the 1970s, carry original windows and doors that predate every modern hurricane standard. When June rolls around and the wet season hits South Broward with 60-plus inches of annual rainfall, those aging openings become the weakest link in a home’s envelope. Our Windows & Doors team has spent years working with Andover’s specific building stock, its flat-roofed slab homes, and the inspectors who enforce Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Andover’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve one accountable contractor across every phase of a project. In Andover, that means a single crew who understands how your 1962 CBS block walls interact with modern impact-door jambs, not a rotating cast of subs who’ve never pulled a permit in Broward County.
Our reputation here rests on passing inspections the first time. Out-of-county crews regularly source impact windows approved for Orlando or Tampa standards that fail on Andover job sites because they lack the specific HVHZ product-approval numbers. We don’t. Every Andersen, Pella, and Marvin unit we install carries the Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval documentation that 33023 inspectors expect to see.
Response time matters in Andover. We’re located in Fort Lauderdale, close enough to reach the neighborhood quickly when a sliding door track corrodes during a summer squall or when a homeowner needs pre-season reinforcement before a named storm enters the Gulf. You choose the brand, we handle the build, and we handle it with local permit knowledge already built in.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Andover
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact window installation in Andover typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for a full-home retrofit, with partial replacements starting lower depending on opening count and floor plan. Every unit must carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval number rated for HVHZ wind loads, not just “impact-resistant” labeling from another state. On Andover’s legacy CBS homes, we often need to reinforce the buck pockets before setting new frames, since the original block construction never anticipated the anchoring depth modern impact units require. We work with Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, and Jeld-Wen across multiple price tiers so you’re not locked into a single manufacturer’s product line.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding and patio door replacement in Andover addresses one of the most common failure points we see in 33023 homes. The original aluminum tracks from the 1960s and 70s corrode from salt air and the area’s high water table, which creates drainage problems that pool moisture at the sill. Panels rattle, jam, or lift completely out during wind events. Our installations include reinforced jambs, properly flashed sill pans, and impact-rated glass assemblies with the correct Florida Product Approval documentation. We’ve replaced dozens of these units on homes near the Andover commercial corridors, where the older stock is most concentrated.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Not every Andover homeowner is ready for full impact-window replacement. Hurricane shutters offer a code-compliant alternative that protects existing openings at a lower initial investment. We install accordion, roll-down, and panel systems rated for HVHZ loads, again with the product-approval numbers that Broward County requires. For homeowners in 33023 with original jalousie or single-pane windows, shutters can be the practical bridge solution that gets you through inspection season without a full gut of the opening.
Window Replacement & Door Installation
Standard window replacement in Andover runs $4,500-$15,000, covering non-impact upgrades for homeowners who pair them with shutter systems, or for interior-facing openings where HVHZ ratings don’t apply. Door installation spans entry systems, French doors, and interior upgrades. On Andover’s CBS homes, we frequently encounter terrazzo floors that complicate sill heights and stucco exteriors that require careful cutting to avoid cracking the finish around new frames. Our crew knows how to work with these materials, not against them.

Trusted Brands We Service in Andover
Groundwork partners with eight window and door manufacturers covering mainstream vinyl through architectural-grade impact products: Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI. For Andover homeowners, this means you choose the brand that matches your budget and aesthetic, not what our warehouse happens to stock. We don’t push proprietary lines. If you’re pairing new windows with exterior updates, we also work with James Hardie siding and can coordinate the full envelope as a single project. Our Windows & Doors in Andover service includes the local permit navigation that out-of-area brand dealers typically can’t provide.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Andover Homes
- Original jalousie windows on 1960s CBS homes leak wind-driven rain and cannot be upgraded to impact-rated units without full frame replacement, since the louvered design has no HVHZ-approved equivalent. We replace the entire opening with code-compliant fixed or operable impact windows.
- Non-approved “impact” glass from out-of-county installers gets red-tagged at Broward County inspection, leaving homeowners exposed mid-hurricane season with unpermitted work. We verify every unit’s Florida Product Approval number before it leaves our supplier’s dock.
- Sliding door tracks corroded by salt air and poor drainage cause panels to lift or jam; in a storm surge, these doors can blow inward, pressurizing the home and compromising the roof structure. We replace tracks, reinforce jambs, and install proper sill pan flashing.
- Legacy CBS block lacks the reinforcing anchors and buck pockets that modern impact doors require, so careless installers crack stucco or damage block trying to force fit. We assess wall structure first and build out proper reinforcement before setting the frame.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Andover, FL
Here’s what Andover homeowners can expect for window and door work in the current market:
| Service | Typical Range in Andover |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Hurricane Impact Windows | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Final pricing depends on opening count, floor plan complexity, and whether your CBS home needs structural reinforcement before new frames go in. Homes with original terrazzo floors and unmodified block walls from the 1960s typically require more prep work than newer construction. We provide itemized estimates upfront, and every quote includes the permit and inspection coordination that HVHZ compliance demands. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact figure - estimates are free, and we can usually schedule a site visit within 48 hours.
We Also Serve Cities Near Andover
Our window and door crews work throughout South Broward, including Miramar, West Park, Hollywood, and West Hollywood. Each of these neighborhoods shares Andover’s HVHZ requirements and much of the same postwar housing stock, though 33023’s concentration of 1950s-70s CBS homes creates specific challenges we see less frequently in newer developments to the west. Wherever you are in the area, the same product-approval standards and inspection protocols apply.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Andover
Broward County sits in Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where wind loads exceed those used in most other U.S. building codes. The Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval numbers prove that a window or door has been tested to withstand those specific pressures and missile impacts. Without that documentation, an inspector will fail the installation regardless of how “heavy-duty” the unit looks. We source only HVHZ-approved products and bring the paperwork to every inspection. Call (844) 665-0162 if you want us to verify whether your existing windows carry the right numbers.
Yes, but jalousie windows cannot be directly upgraded to impact-rated equivalents because no HVHZ-approved louvered window exists. We remove the entire jalousie frame and install a code-compliant fixed or operable impact window in the same opening, reinforcing the block pocket as needed. This is one of the most common retrofits we perform in 33023. The original homes simply weren’t built for modern standards.
Impact windows are permanent, transparent protection that meets HVHZ requirements without additional deployment before a storm. Hurricane shutters are secondary systems that cover existing windows and must be closed manually or automatically to provide protection. Shutters cost less upfront but require action before each storm and block light and visibility when deployed. Both are code-compliant in Broward County if properly rated and installed. We offer both and can recommend the right approach based on your home’s current openings and your budget.
The most common cause in Andover homes is a corroded track combined with failed or missing sill pan flashing. Original sliding doors from the 1960s and 70s used aluminum tracks that degrade in salt air, and the slab-on-grade construction common in 33023 often creates drainage issues that pool water at the sill. Once the track is compromised, wind-driven rain pushes past the weatherstripping and into the interior. We replace the track assembly, install a proper sill pan with end dams, and verify the new door’s impact rating carries the correct Florida Product Approval number.
Check for a Miami-Dade County Product Control Division label or a Florida Product Approval number, usually found on the window frame or in your installation paperwork. If your windows were installed before 2002 or by an out-of-county contractor, there’s a significant chance they lack HVHZ approval even if they’re marketed as “impact-resistant.” We offer free documentation reviews for Andover homeowners - call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll help you verify what you have before hurricane season peaks.
