Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve worked across Royal Palm Beach long enough to know the difference between a Cypress Head HOA spec and a VillageWalk materials requirement. Our Windows & Doors team understands that in this village, exterior changes aren’t just about performance - they’re about compliance.
Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they called us because they were tired of contractors who didn’t read the covenants. One Royal Palm Beach customer in The Preserve told us our quote was $800 higher than a competitor’s, but the competitor’s proposal used a white frame that the HOA would have rejected outright. We priced the approved bronze-tinted impact unit from the start. That’s the kind of local knowledge that saves a project.
We carry stock and maintain supplier relationships that let us source HOA-compliant materials without the multi-week delays that plague special-order jobs. For Royal Palm Beach residents dealing with insurance renewal deadlines, that timing matters.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Royal Palm Beach
Impact Windows & Doors
This is our most frequent request in Royal Palm Beach, and for specific reasons. The village’s housing stock was built before the 2002 Florida Building Code overhaul, which means most homes still have original non-impact openings. Citizens Property Insurance renewal inspections are increasingly demanding mitigation upgrades - roof clips, wrapped trusses, and impact-rated windows and doors - or policyholders face non-renewal. We install impact windows and doors from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI, covering everything from standard vinyl impact units to architectural-grade aluminum systems. In Royal Palm Beach, we typically see these jobs triggered by inspection notices rather than storm damage, which means homeowners need fast turnaround to meet insurance deadlines.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Not every Royal Palm Beach homeowner wants full window replacement. Some HOAs actually prefer or require colonial-style aluminum shutters for aesthetic consistency, especially in the older sections near Southern Boulevard. We install code-compliant hurricane shutter systems that satisfy both Palm Beach County wind-load requirements and neighborhood architectural review boards. For homes with newer impact windows already installed, we also see requests for secondary protection - a belt-and-suspenders approach that some insurers reward with additional premium credits.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The original single-pane aluminum sliding doors in Royal Palm Beach’s 1980s CBS homes are failing en masse. The tracks corrode from decades of salt-laden humidity. The rollers seize. The weatherstripping crumbles. And when a summer downpour hits, water finds its way through gaps that weren’t there twenty years ago. Our crew recently replaced a legacy single-pane aluminum sliding door at a 1980s CBS home in the Cypress Head neighborhood. The old track had corroded from years of salt-laden summer humidity, and the homeowner’s HOA required a specific bronze-tinted impact glass to match the community’s architectural standards. We installed a new impact sliding glass door that met both the HOA’s color spec and Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements, solving the sticking and air-leak issues.
Window Replacement
Full window replacement in Royal Palm Beach runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical single-family home, depending on opening count, frame material, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated units. Most of the homes we work on have original single-pane aluminum windows with failed thermal seals - you can spot them by the condensation between panes, or the fog that never wipes away. These units have essentially zero insulating value, and in a village where summer AC runs eight months a year, that shows up on FPL bills.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We don’t lock you into one manufacturer. Our window and door installations draw from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI - a range that covers vinyl impact units for budget-conscious retrofits up to architectural-grade aluminum and wood-clad systems for custom homes. For exterior siding that often gets paired with window jobs, we also work with James Hardie fiber-cement products. On the cabinetry side of full remodels, we’ve installed KraftMaid and Wellborn systems. And for homeowners doing kitchen overhauls alongside their window replacement, Cambria engineered quartz countertops are a frequent pairing. We stock common sizes and maintain supplier relationships that keep special-order lead times manageable for Royal Palm Beach’s insurance-driven deadlines.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Failed thermal seals on original aluminum windows. The 1970s-1990s single-pane and early dual-pane units in Royal Palm Beach homes weren’t built to last forty years. Once the seal fails, condensation between panes is permanent. The window doesn’t just look bad - it stops insulating entirely.
- Corroded sliding door tracks from tropical humidity. Salt-laden air penetrates the track housing, pitting the aluminum and causing rollers to seize. We’ve seen doors that require two hands and a shoulder to open. That’s a safety issue, not just an annoyance.
- Non-impact openings failing Citizens Insurance inspections. This is the hidden driver behind most of our Royal Palm Beach window jobs. An inspection notice arrives, the homeowner has 90 days to comply, and suddenly that “someday” upgrade becomes urgent. We plan for these timelines.
- Foundation-shifted door frames allowing water intrusion. Slab-on-grade CBS construction in Royal Palm Beach settles and shifts over decades. Door frames that were plumb in 1985 aren’t anymore. During the wet season, water finds the gap.
- Obsolete hardware with no replacement parts. Thirty-year-old crank operators, locksets, and roller assemblies are simply no longer manufactured. We can sometimes fabricate a fix, but often the labor exceeds the cost of a new unit with modern, available hardware.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach, FL
Here’s what window and door work actually costs in the Royal Palm Beach market:
| Service | Typical Project Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
These ranges assume a typical single-family CBS home in the 1,400-2,200 square foot range, which covers most of Royal Palm Beach’s housing stock. Factors that push you toward the higher end: impact-rated upgrades required by insurance or HOA, custom sizes for non-standard 1980s openings, bronze or tan frames instead of white (the HOA-mandated colors in several village communities), and additional work like stucco repair or interior trim replacement. We don’t guess at your job. Our estimates are free, detailed, and based on actual measurements - call (844) 665-0162 to schedule.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach
HOA covenants in Royal Palm Beach communities like The Preserve and Cypress Head strictly govern exterior aesthetics to maintain property values and visual consistency. These rules typically specify frame colors (often bronze, tan, or white), glass tints, and even shutter styles. Your replacement must match the community’s architectural standards or the HOA can reject the project and require re-work at your expense. We review your HOA docs before ordering materials to avoid this scenario. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check your specific requirements during our free estimate.
No. Single-pane aluminum windows installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code do not meet current wind-load or impact-resistance standards for Citizens Property Insurance mitigation credits. Inspectors specifically look for impact-rated openings or code-compliant shutters. Without them, you’ll lose mitigation discounts and may face policy non-renewal. We replace these units with code-compliant impact windows weekly in Royal Palm Beach. Call (844) 665-0162 for an inspection-readiness assessment.
Sometimes, but rarely economically. The track corrosion, obsolete roller assemblies, and failed weatherstripping on 1980s sliding doors usually mean replacement parts are no longer manufactured. We’ve attempted track resurfacing and custom roller fabrication, but the labor cost often approaches half the price of a new impact-rated unit that also satisfies insurance requirements. For a Royal Palm Beach home with original sliders, replacement is typically the smarter long-term investment. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll give you honest guidance on repair versus replace for your specific door.
Yes. Palm Beach County requires permits for all window and door replacements, and Royal Palm Beach’s village administration enforces this through its building department. The permit process includes verification of impact ratings, wind-load calculations, and for many homes, HOA architectural review approval before the county will issue the permit. We handle the entire permitting process as part of our installation service, including HOA documentation if needed. This is standard on every Royal Palm Beach job we do.
January through April is ideal. The dry season means fewer weather delays, and you’re completed before hurricane season begins June 1. That said, we install year-round in Royal Palm Beach because insurance deadlines don’t wait for ideal weather. If you’ve received a mitigation notice with a compliance deadline, schedule as soon as possible regardless of season. Call (844) 665-0162 to check our current availability - we can often accommodate urgent timelines.
