We’ve been working in Tamarac long enough to know the rhythm of this city. The Mainlands, Woodlands, and Concord Village - we’ve retrofitted windows and doors in all of them. Our Fort Lauderdale base puts us on your street fast when the recertification letter lands or when a storm blows through and you’re staring at a cracked slider. Tamarac’s housing stock is specific, its codes are strict, and its HOAs move on their own timeline. You need a contractor who already knows the players, not one learning Broward County’s recertification process on your dime.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Tamarac’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the idea that homeowners deserve one accountable team, not a parade of subcontractors. In Tamarac, that means we handle your window or door project from permit pull to final inspection, including the structural reinforcement that aging CBS buildings often need. Our Windows & Doors crew knows the difference between a 1972 Jeld-Wen original and a modern PGT impact unit, and we know how to get the latter installed without damaging stucco that’s already showing spalling.
Tamarac customers call us back because we show up with the right materials. We’re not ordering custom sizes after we measure; we bring the full Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI catalogs to your kitchen table. You choose the brand and performance tier, we handle the build. That’s how we work in every Tamarac neighborhood from Woodmont to Westwood.
Our response time to Tamarac is same-day for consultations and typically 24-48 hours for post-storm damage assessments. When a September storm blows a branch through your patio door or pressurizes your condo enough to pop a slider off its track, that speed matters. We’re local enough to know which Tamarac associations require pre-approved contractor lists and which ones need board sign-off before we can touch a common wall.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Tamarac
Window Installation
New window installation in Tamarac is almost always about code compliance now. The original single-pane units in 1970s-era CBS condos don’t just leak energy; they fail Broward County’s 40-year recertification wind-load tests outright. We install vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass windows from Andersen, Pella, and Milgard, sized to the rough openings that were never standardized in Tamarac’s original construction boom. Our crew recently retrofitted a second-floor unit at the Mainlands of Tamarac, swapping out three original 1970s single-pane sliders for PGT impact-rated sliding glass doors. The old tracks were corroded and the frames had nails popping from years of wind stress, so we reinforced the rough openings with new treated lumber and full-length anchors to meet Miami-Dade HVHZ standards. The unit now passes its 40-year recertification inspection and the owner didn’t have to board up before that September storm.
Door Installation
Tamarac’s garden-style condos and villas need doors that handle both daily use and hurricane-season abuse. We install entry doors, patio sliders, and French doors with proper wind-rated hardware and reinforced jambs. Many of the 1970s aluminum frames we remove have corroded so badly that the threshold is no longer sealed against the slab. In a city where the water table sits just a few feet down, that gap becomes a channel for wind-driven rain. We replace with impact-rated units and proper sill pan flashing, not quick fixes.
Window Replacement
Window replacement in Tamarac runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on unit count, access complexity, and whether your building needs structural reinforcement around the openings. The dominant stock of 1-2 story CBS structures built between the mid-1960s and early 1980s routinely presents spalling concrete, corroded rebar, and original single-pane windows - all requiring more than a simple swap. We quote the full scope: demo, rough-opening repair, new construction window install, interior trim, and exterior stucco patch. No surprise add-ons when we hit rotted framing.
Impact Windows & Doors
This is where Tamarac’s market is moving, fast. Florida’s post-Surfside SB 4-D statutes are forcing condo HOAs to fund structural integrity reserve studies, and Broward’s recertification program is rejecting non-impact glazing. Impact window installation in Tamarac typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for a full-home or full-unit replacement. We source PGT and CGI impact-rated products that carry Miami-Dade HVHZ approval, and we install to the anchor pattern and fastening schedule that inspectors expect. For condo associations facing compressed timelines to satisfy county inspectors, we coordinate with property managers and board members to phase work by building or by floor.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Standalone hurricane impact windows are the baseline for any Tamarac retrofit now. We specify laminated glass with interlayers that hold together when struck, plus reinforced frames that won’t deform under pressure differential. The aging flat-roof condo inventory in Tamarac is a perpetual replacement target after each active storm season, and owners who wait until post-storm often face six-month backlogs. We keep lead times transparent and prep work moving so you’re not the last unit in your association waiting for inspection sign-off.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are the weakest point in most Tamarac condos. Original 1970s units have single-pane glass, corroded aluminum tracks, and frames that flex in high wind. Our impact sliding glass door replacements use multi-point locking hardware, reinforced interlocks, and impact-laminated glass that meets HVHZ standards. Access is often tight in Tamarac’s garden-style buildings; we bring the right equipment for second-floor balconies and coordinate crane service when needed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
Groundwork works with eight window and door manufacturers covering mainstream through architectural-grade and impact-rated product lines: Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI. For Tamarac’s 1970s condo stock, we often recommend PGT’s WinGuard series or CGI’s Estate Collection - both carry Miami-Dade HVHZ approval and fit the replacement sizing common in that era’s construction. We don’t push proprietary products. You choose the brand that matches your budget and your association’s aesthetic requirements, and we build to that spec. For homeowners exploring full-property expansion, we also partner with prefab innovators including Mighty Buildings and Boxabl for ADU construction, bringing the same material rigor to every layer of your project.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Original 1970s single-pane windows fail recertification pressure tests. Broward County’s 40-year recertification program tests for wind-load resistance, and non-impact single-pane units in Tamarac’s aging condos routinely fail. Owners get a correction notice and a deadline. We replace with impact-rated units that pass on the first inspection.
- Corroded aluminum tracks and frames allow water intrusion. Years of salt air, fertilizer runoff, and wind-driven rain eat through the original aluminum in Tamarac’s garden-style buildings. Even minor storms push water past failed weatherstripping. We replace the full frame, not just the sash, and seal to the slab properly.
- Non-impact glass shatters from flying debris. During a hurricane, a breached window pressurizes the interior and can lift the roof or blow out walls. Tamarac’s low-lying position in western Broward County means every storm track is a threat. Impact glass stays intact even when cracked.
- Nail pops and frame separation from wind stress. Decades of seasonal pressure cycles loosen the original fasteners in CBS construction. We see this constantly in Tamarac’s 1970s stock. Our retrofits include full-length structural anchors and treated lumber reinforcement, not just bigger screws.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Tamarac
Yes, if your original windows are single-pane and non-impact, Broward County’s recertification inspection will flag them for replacement. The county tests for wind-load resistance, and 1970s-era glazing doesn’t meet current standards. We’ve handled dozens of these corrections in Tamarac associations. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll review your recertification letter to scope exactly what’s required.
Hurricane impact windows use laminated glass with a polymer interlayer that holds the pane together when struck by debris, plus reinforced frames that resist pressure differential. Regular windows, even modern double-pane units, shatter and allow interior pressurization that can cause structural failure. For a Mainlands of Tamarac condo, impact windows are typically the only path to passing 40-year recertification. We quote both PGT and CGI impact lines so you can compare performance and price.
Usually yes, but it depends on the condition of your rough opening and existing frame. Most 1970s Tamarac sliders were installed with minimal fastening and no proper sill pan. We often find corroded thresholds and nail-popped framing that needs reinforcement before the new impact unit goes in. We assess this during our free estimate and include any rough-opening repair in our scope. No surprises at install.
Three reasons, all common in Tamarac’s aging stock: corroded aluminum frames that no longer seal against the sash, failed or missing weatherstripping after decades of UV exposure, and improper or degraded flashing that lets wind-driven water bypass the frame. The high water table and flat terrain in western Broward County mean even modest rain events push moisture hard against your building envelope. We replace the full frame assembly and seal to the slab with proper sill pan and flashing tape.
Many Tamarac condo associations are funding window replacement through special assessments tied to SB 4-D structural reserve requirements, which spreads costs across all owners. For individual homeowners, we can discuss payment timing that aligns with HOA assessment schedules or insurance claim proceeds. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll walk through the options specific to your property and timeline.
