Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Lake Worth Corridor’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve worked on enough homes in the 33461 ZIP to know the pattern. A homeowner calls for a simple window swap, we open the wall, and find a 1980s carport conversion with no permit, no hurricane straps, and a header that wouldn’t pass today’s load calcs. Palm Beach County red-tags the job until it’s fixed. Out-of-area crews get caught off guard. We don’t.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the idea that one contractor should handle every phase, so Lake Worth Corridor homeowners aren’t juggling a window company, a structural engineer, and a permit runner. Our Windows & Doors team coordinates directly with our in-house crews who handle roofing, siding, and additions, because in this market, a window job often turns into an envelope repair.
We stock parts and maintain relationships with Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard distributors in Palm Beach County, so replacement timelines don’t stretch while we wait on freight from Miami. Most Lake Worth Corridor inquiries get a site visit within 48 hours.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lake Worth Corridor
Hurricane Impact Windows
Every window we install in Lake Worth Corridor must meet Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements, and frankly, anything less is a gamble. The corridor sits in a FEMA-designated high-velocity hurricane zone, and standard annealed glass won’t cut it. We specify laminated impact glass with reinforced frames, pulling from Andersen, PGT, and CGI product lines depending on your budget and architectural style. On older CBS homes near the eastern edge, we often find original jalousie windows with corroded frames from decades of salt exposure. Those get stripped back to the block, flashed properly, and fitted with new impact-rated units that won’t leak during the next summer deluge.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding patio doors are where Lake Worth Corridor homes bleed energy and take storm damage. The old aluminum-track doors common in 1960s and 1970s construction corrode at the threshold, stick in their frames, and offer zero debris protection. We replace them with impact-rated sliding systems from PGT or CGI, sized to the opening with proper sill pan flashing that directs water out, not into your slab. Because the corridor’s humidity never really lets up, we spec stainless or coated hardware that won’t seize after two wet seasons.
Window Replacement
Full window replacement in Lake Worth Corridor typically costs $4,500-$15,000 and addresses more than the glass. The original steel frames in mid-century CBS homes rust from the inside out, and the stucco returns around them crack from thermal movement and moisture intrusion. We pull the old units, repair the surrounding envelope, and install new construction or replacement windows depending on frame condition. If your home has unpermitted additions, we’ll identify that before ordering windows, because Palm Beach County will require those openings to meet current code regardless of what was there.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and patio door systems in Lake Worth Corridor need to resist forced entry, wind pressure, and salt corrosion simultaneously. We source from Jeld-Wen, Simonton, and Marvin lines with fiberglass or clad-wood exteriors that don’t rot like raw wood in this humidity. For homes with direct east or southeast exposure to the ocean breeze, we upgrade to coastal-grade hardware packages. Every door install gets integrated with proper weatherstripping and threshold sealing, because in this climate, a door that leaks air is a door that grows mold in your walls.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lake Worth Corridor Homes
- Salt-air corrosion destroys hardware in 5-7 years instead of 10-12. The coastal breeze that makes Lake Worth Corridor pleasant carries chloride ions that pit and weaken window and door hardware, garage door springs, fasteners, and tracks. We specify 316 stainless or coated hardware for any home within a mile of the Intracoastal.
- Original jalousie windows leak air and water, and can’t be repaired to code. Those louvered glass strips common in 1960s construction were never designed for impact loads or modern energy standards. We replace them with fixed or operable impact windows, which requires reframing the opening on most CBS homes.
- Unpermitted carport conversions and room additions create permit traps. Palm Beach County inspectors will red-tag a window replacement job if they discover an unpermitted addition with non-compliant openings. We survey for this before demo, so you’re not paying for code-compliance work you didn’t budget.
- Humidity-driven rot in door frames and jambs. Poor flashing on older CBS homes lets moisture wick into wood framing around doors. We strip to the block, install proper sill pans and drainage planes, then rebuild with rot-resistant materials.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Lake Worth Corridor
No. Lake Worth Corridor is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so all permits run through the county building department, not any city hall. Your window replacement permit will be issued by Palm Beach County and inspected to Florida Building Code wind-borne debris standards. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll handle the application and scheduling.
Windows in Lake Worth Corridor must meet or exceed the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris provisions for Palm Beach County, which typically means impact-rated products with Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers. Exact design pressure ratings depend on your home’s exposure, height, and proximity to the coast. We engineer each opening to spec during our site visit.
Salt air accelerates corrosion on all ferrous metal, and garage door springs, hinges, rollers, and tracks are no exception. In Lake Worth Corridor, we see spring failure in 5-7 years versus the 10-12 year lifespan inland. We specify galvanized or coated springs, nylon rollers, and stainless or zinc-plated hardware for coastal installations, and we inspect corrosion during every service call.
Yes, and it should be. Jalousie windows can’t meet current impact or energy codes, so replacement is required for any permitted renovation. We remove the entire jalousie frame, repair the surrounding CBS and stucco, and install a code-compliant impact window sized to the opening. On a 1962 CBS home near the corridor’s eastern edge, our crew replaced a failing jalousie window setup with new impact-rated windows and a sliding patio door. The old frames had corroded from decades of salt air, and the unpermitted carport conversion meant we had to coordinate with Palm Beach County to bring the opening up to code before installing the new units.
It will require documentation and compliance work before new windows can be permitted. Palm Beach County inspectors red-tag jobs where they discover unpermitted construction with non-compliant openings. We identify this during our initial survey, document the existing conditions, and coordinate the engineering and permitting to bring those openings into compliance. It’s a hidden cost that catches out-of-area crews off guard, but we’ve handled it enough to build it into our project timeline and quote from day one.
