Windows & Doors Near You in Fort Lauderdale, FL
If you’re searching for our Windows & Doors services in Fort Lauderdale, Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida installs replacement windows and new doors for residential projects across Broward County and beyond.

Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
Fort Lauderdale’s coastal environment isn’t forgiving on windows and doors. Salt air accelerates frame corrosion, high humidity warps wood that isn’t properly specified, and hurricane season demands impact-rated glazing that meets Florida Building Code. We factor all of that in before we ever recommend a product line – because a window spec that works in Ohio won’t necessarily hold up a block from the Intracoastal Waterway.
Groundwork is a full-scope residential construction partner, not a trade-specific sub. That matters here because a window or door project rarely lives in isolation. Replacing aging sliders often exposes water intrusion behind the frame. A new front entry door may call for a reconfigured threshold, updated exterior trim, or James Hardie siding repairs to the surrounding wall. We handle all of it under one accountable relationship – from driveway to roofline – so you’re not coordinating three separate crews to close out one project.
For homeowners researching the broader scope of what’s available across the region, our Windows & Doors in South Florida page walks through product lines, impact ratings, and what drives costs across different project types.
Fast, Local Windows & Doors
When a door frame fails or a window seal blows out ahead of storm season, the clock matters. Groundwork serves Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County corridor with a team that’s based here, not dispatched from three counties away. We can typically schedule an on-site estimate within a few business days and move to installation once materials are confirmed and permits are pulled – a process we handle on your behalf so you’re not chasing down the city’s building department.
Fort Lauderdale requires permits for most window and exterior door replacements, particularly when the opening size changes or when the project involves impact-rated units. We submit the documentation, coordinate the inspection schedule, and keep you posted at each stage. No surprises, no passed-off paperwork.
For urgent situations – a compromised entry door, a window that won’t lock after a break-in attempt, a failed slider ahead of an incoming weather system – call (844) 665-0162 directly and we’ll tell you honestly where you stand on scheduling.
Areas We Cover
Our window and door crews work throughout Fort Lauderdale and service a broad residential footprint stretching north and south along the coast and inland. Beyond Fort Lauderdale, we regularly work in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, and Wellington. We also reach inland communities including Belle Glade and Canal Point, where older housing stock often needs full window replacement packages to meet current energy and impact codes.

What We Install
Replacement Windows
Most Fort Lauderdale homes built before 2002 are running single-pane or non-impact windows that don’t meet current Florida Building Code for wind-borne debris regions. Replacing them isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade – it’s a structural and insurance-compliance issue in many cases. We source from Andersen, Pella, PGT, and CGI for impact-rated lines, and from Simonton, Jeld-Wen, and Milgard for projects where the priority is energy performance or architectural style over storm-specific ratings.
- Single and double-hung windows – the most common replacement configuration in Fort Lauderdale’s older neighborhoods like Tarpon River, Croissant Park, and Edgewood
- Casement and awning windows – popular in mid-century homes throughout Lauderdale Isles and Colee Hammock
- Sliding glass doors and impact sliders – a near-universal need in waterfront properties along the New River corridor
- Picture and fixed windows – often specified alongside full renovations to maximize natural light without sacrificing the building envelope
- Impact-rated windows meeting Miami-Dade NOA standards – required in many South Florida jurisdictions and strongly recommended throughout Broward
Door Installation and Replacement
Entry doors, patio doors, French doors, sliding glass units – we install them all, and we pay close attention to the transition between the door system and the surrounding wall. A well-hung impact door that’s poorly flashed at the frame is a liability. We use products from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and PGT depending on the application, and we don’t cut corners on the rough opening prep or the sill pan flashing that determines whether the installation stays watertight five years from now.
- Steel and fiberglass entry doors – better long-term performance than wood in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity
- Impact-rated entry doors – required in wind-borne debris zones and frequently mandated by HOAs in newer Fort Lauderdale developments
- French doors and double doors – common in interior renovations connecting living spaces to covered lanais
- Sliding patio doors – we see a lot of failed rollers and delaminated glass in units installed before 2005; full replacement is usually the right call
Pricing: What Windows and Doors Cost in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale window and door pricing runs higher than national averages for two reasons: impact-rated products carry a meaningful premium over standard units, and Florida Building Code compliance adds permit and inspection costs that don’t apply in other states. The Best Time of Year to Replace Windows in South Florida, FL can also affect your overall project timing and budget. Here’s a general range based on typical residential projects in the area:
- Standard replacement window (per unit, installed): $400 – $900 depending on size, style, and brand
- Impact-rated replacement window (per unit, installed): $700 – $1,800 for PGT, CGI, or comparable lines
- Standard exterior entry door (installed): $800 – $1,500 for fiberglass or steel, including hardware
- Impact-rated entry door (installed): $1,500 – $3,500 depending on configuration and brand
- Sliding glass door replacement (impact-rated): $2,000 – $5,000 for a standard 6-foot opening
- Full-home window replacement (10-15 windows): $8,000 – $22,000 depending on product line and scope
These ranges reflect installed costs including permits. Material-only prices are lower, but in Fort Lauderdale, unpermitted window work creates real problems at resale – buyers’ attorneys flag it, and insurers can use it to contest claims. Pull the permit. Call (844) 665-0162 for a specific quote on your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start a window or door project in Fort Lauderdale?
We can typically schedule an on-site estimate within a few business days of your first call. From there, the timeline depends on product lead times and permit processing – impact-rated products from PGT or CGI usually run 3 to 6 weeks from order to delivery, and Fort Lauderdale building permits for window replacements typically take 1 to 3 weeks. We manage both processes in parallel where possible to compress the overall schedule. Call (844) 665-0162 to get the process started.
Do you serve areas outside Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We cover a wide service area that includes Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Wellington, Belle Glade, and Canal Point, in addition to Fort Lauderdale and communities throughout Broward County. If you’re unsure whether your address is in range, call us and we’ll confirm directly.
How much do impact windows cost compared to standard windows in Fort Lauderdale?
Impact-rated windows typically cost 60% to 100% more per unit than standard replacement windows, installed. In Fort Lauderdale and most of Broward County, that premium is usually worth it – Are Impact Windows Worth It? (South Florida, FL) explains why many homeowners see meaningful reductions in their wind insurance premium after installing compliant impact windows, and you eliminate the need to hang shutters before every named storm. For a side-by-side estimate on both options for your project, call (844) 665-0162.
Can you handle window and door projects as part of a larger renovation?
That’s where Groundwork’s model actually makes the most sense. Because we’re a full-scope residential construction partner covering everything from kitchen remodeling and roofing to fencing and home additions, we can fold windows and doors into a broader exterior project – or a full interior-to-exterior renovation – without you managing separate contractors. One contract, one point of contact, one crew sequence. Call (844) 665-0162 to talk through the full scope of what you’re planning.
