Trusted Windows & Doors for South Florida Homeowners
Window and door replacement in South Florida typically runs $4,500-$25,000 depending on scope, with impact-rated systems commanding the upper range due to Miami-Dade and Broward County hurricane code requirements. Most full-home window replacements in our market take 2-5 days once materials arrive, and we coordinate permits through local building departments so you don’t chase paperwork.

We’re Groundwork Construction Co., and we’ve learned that South Florida homeowners don’t want to coordinate separate window contractors, door installers, and permit expediters for what should be one coherent project. From Wellington to Boca Raton, we handle the full exterior envelope, including roofing, siding with James Hardie, and Custom Windows & Doors, under one contract and one point of accountability. Our team works with eight major window and door manufacturers, so you choose the brand that fits your performance needs and budget, not whatever happens to be in our warehouse.
What Our Windows & Doors Service Includes
Window Installation
New window installation becomes necessary when you’re building an addition, converting a garage to living space, or replacing outdated units that no longer seal properly. In South Florida’s climate, we see accelerated frame deterioration in coastal zip codes like Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, where salt air attacks aluminum and wood alike. We measure every opening individually, check for square and level, and install to manufacturer specifications so your KraftMaid kitchen or expanded living area isn’t compromised by drafts or water intrusion.
Door Installation
Door Installation, interior door upgrades, and patio door replacements each demand different framing skills and hardware knowledge. We install pre-hung units and slab doors, handle jamb extensions for thicker wall assemblies common in newer South Florida construction, and ensure proper threshold sealing against our driving rain events. Whether you’re upgrading to a fiberglass entry system or adding French doors to a Lake Worth cottage, we integrate the work with your existing trim and flooring.
Window Replacement
Full window replacement removes the entire existing unit, frame and all, which is the only way to address rot, termite damage, or failed insulated glass seals. In older South Florida homes, particularly in Lake Worth and Belle Glade, we encounter original aluminum single-pane windows that conduct heat and offer no structural protection. We replace these with modern systems that include proper flashing integration, meeting current Florida Building Code requirements for wind resistance.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are mandatory in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones and increasingly chosen by homeowners in inland areas like Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens for insurance premium reductions. These products combine laminated glass with reinforced frames tested to withstand missile impact and cyclic pressure loading. We source impact systems from multiple manufacturers so you can compare performance ratings and price points rather than accepting a single option.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding glass door replacement addresses the most frequently used opening in many South Florida homes, and it’s where we see the most water intrusion complaints. Rollers fail, tracks corrode, and weatherstripping compresses until the door sticks or leaks. We install multi-panel sliding systems, lift-and-slide units for larger openings, and standard two-panel replacements, always with proper sill pan flashing and drainage plane continuity.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems create unobstructed views for balconies, pool enclosures, and elevated decks without sacrificing code-compliant fall protection. We install framed, semi-frameless, and frameless systems using tempered or laminated glass depending on application and local amendment requirements. In coastal South Florida, we specify marine-grade hardware and proper glass edge protection to prevent corrosion and spontaneous breakage.
Custom Windows & Doors
Custom window and door solutions accommodate non-standard openings, historical replication requirements, or specific architectural visions that off-the-shelf products can’t satisfy. We’ve fabricated arched top units for Mediterranean Revival homes in Boca Raton, oversized pivot doors for modern additions, and divided-light patterns that match original steel casement windows. Our process includes detailed shop drawing review and job-site templating before production.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane Impact Windows represent a permanent alternative to shutter installation, protecting your home without the annual installation ritual. These systems are tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards and carry Miami-Dade County product approval or Florida Product Approval numbers that your building department will recognize. We handle the permit application, schedule required inspections, and provide documentation for your insurance carrier.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors combine the largest opening in your home with the highest wind-load requirement, making proper installation critical. We specify multi-point locking systems, reinforced interlocks between panels, and impact-rated glazing that meets or exceeds the design pressure for your specific address. In South Florida, where these doors face direct exposure to easterly winds, installation quality determines whether they perform when needed.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Hurricane shutters provide seasonal protection for existing windows and doors that aren’t impact-rated, or redundant protection for impact systems in the most exposed locations. We install accordion, roll-down, Bahama, and colonial-style shutters, each with different deployment characteristics and aesthetic impact. For homes in Canal Point and Bryant with limited storage, permanent mounted systems that deploy quickly make the most sense.

Brands We Service for Windows & Doors
Our window and door installations draw from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI, covering mainstream through impact-rated and architectural-grade product lines. We’ve completed numerous projects with Andersen A-Series and E-Series in coastal North Palm Beach, where the aluminum-clad exterior and wood interior meet both durability and finish expectations. Pella’s Architect Series and Impervia lines serve different aesthetic goals, and we know which performs better in direct salt exposure versus protected courtyards.
PGT and CGI dominate the South Florida impact market for good reason, their vinyl and aluminum frames have proven track records in Miami-Dade testing and local code adoption. We specify PGT WinGuard for cost-conscious projects and CGI Estate Collection where sightlines and hardware finish matter. Whether you have Andersen, PGT, or any other make, we can source, install, and service your windows and doors properly.
Signs You Need Windows & Doors Right Now
- Visible water staining or soft drywall near window corners. This indicates failed flashing or sealant, and in South Florida’s humidity, the damage accelerates quickly. We inspect the drainage path, sill pan condition, and exterior sealant before recommending repair or full replacement.
- Difficulty operating windows or doors, including sticking, binding, or requiring force. This symptom often traces to frame settlement, hardware wear, or moisture swelling in wood components. Continued forcing damages the operating mechanism and may crack the glass.
- Condensation between panes of insulated glass. The seal has failed, and the inert gas fill has escaped, permanently reducing thermal performance. In South Florida’s cooling-dominated climate, this means higher energy bills until replacement.
- Air infiltration audible during windy conditions or visible with a candle test. Weatherstripping compresses over time, and sash-to-frame clearances open up as hardware wears. The comfort impact is immediate, but the hidden energy cost accumulates monthly.
- Corroded or damaged frames, particularly on coastal properties. Salt air attacks aluminum and steel frames aggressively within a few miles of the Atlantic. We see this regularly in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, where replacement with properly specified materials prevents recurrence.
Our Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Initial consultation and measurement. We visit your South Florida home, discuss your goals for performance, aesthetics, and budget, and take precise measurements of every opening. We note existing conditions that affect installation, including siding type, interior trim profile, and any structural concerns.
- 2
Product selection and proposal. Based on your priorities, we present options from our brand portfolio with clear differentiation between standard, upgraded, and premium lines. Our proposals itemize labor, materials, permit fees, and disposal so you understand where your investment goes.
- 3
Permit application and scheduling. We prepare construction documents and submit to your local building department, whether that’s Palm Beach County, Broward County, or a municipal jurisdiction like Boca Raton or West Palm Beach. We don’t start work until permits are issued.
- 4
Professional installation. Our crews remove existing units, prepare openings with proper flashing and air sealing, and install new windows or doors to manufacturer specifications. We protect your interior finishes and complete a thorough cleanup before inspection.
- 5
Inspection, finishing, and walkthrough. We coordinate required building inspections, complete interior and exterior trim integration, and conduct a final walkthrough with you to demonstrate operation, maintenance, and warranty documentation.
How Much Does Windows & Doors Cost in South Florida?
A typical window replacement project in South Florida runs $4,500-$15,000 for standard vinyl or aluminum units in a modest home, while impact window installation ranges $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count, sizes, and product tier. Single door replacements generally fall at the lower end, but full-home impact upgrades with architectural-grade products can exceed these ranges.
Several factors move the price within these brackets. First, product selection: a basic vinyl single-hung costs substantially less than a wood-clad casement with impact rating and custom exterior color. Second, installation complexity: stucco exterior requires more careful cutting and patching than siding; second-story work adds labor; and non-standard sizes demand custom fabrication. Third, current condition: rotted framing, failed flashing, or termite damage discovered during removal adds necessary repair scope.
To avoid overpaying, get multiple quotes that specify the same product line and performance grade, apples-to-apples. Be wary of quotes that seem low because they omit permit costs, use non-impact glass in HVHZ areas, or skip proper flashing details. Our free estimates include all costs, and we explain where you can adjust scope or product selection to meet your budget without compromising code compliance or weather protection.
