AfterTrusted Door Installation for West Palm Beach Homeowners
West Palm Beach Door Installation typically runs $1,200-$4,800 depending on the opening, the product tier, and whether the frame needs structural modification. Most residential door replacements we complete in West Palm Beach are finished in a single day, with the written price established before any work begins. Call (561) 354-3861 to schedule your measured survey.
We’ve installed and replaced doors across West Palm Beach since 2012, operating under the Haven Standard that governs every one of the 18,000+ openings we’ve completed. The salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane exposure in this market punish doors that aren’t specified correctly. We see the result in water-damaged frames in El Cid, corroded hardware in Flamingo Park, and impact-rated doors that were never properly anchored to the structural opening in Northwood. Our measured survey documents every condition we find - frame squareness, rough opening dimensions, substrate integrity, and sightline alignment - and the written quote you receive is built directly from that document. No separate estimate, no revised invoice, no change orders. Haven Clause 1: Have it in writing.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. Every completed job leaves a documented photo record and carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard. Live phone coverage is available 24/7 at (561) 354-3861.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
Entry doors are the primary access point for your home and the first line against forced entry, water intrusion, and air infiltration. In West Palm Beach, we regularly replace entry doors that have failed at the sill due to capillary water migration during our summer storm season, or where the jamb has separated from the framing because the original installation used inadequate fasteners for our wind-load requirements. We specify entry doors from Therma-Tru and CWS by performance tier - standard fiberglass, steel, or impact-rated - and we measure the rough opening to 1/16 inch to determine whether the existing frame can be preserved or must be rebuilt. The written price reflects that finding before any demolition begins.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Hurricane-proof front and entry doors are impact-rated assemblies tested to Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards for missile impact and cyclic wind pressure. West Palm Beach lies in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement door we install must either carry a valid Florida Product Approval or meet the site-specific engineering requirements for your structure. We work with PGT, CGI, and ES Windows impact-rated door systems, specifying the glazing package - laminated glass thickness, interlayer type, and frame reinforcement - based on your home’s exposure and our Door Installation in Palm Beach expertise. The measured survey includes a photo record of the existing door’s Florida Product Approval label, if present, so we can match or exceed that rating without unnecessary cost.
French & Double Doors
French and double doors create wide openings that are inherently less resistant to racking and water intrusion than single doors. In West Palm Beach, we see this most often in patio-to-living-room transitions where the inactive panel has settled, breaking the weatherstrip seal and allowing driving rain to penetrate during easterly storms. We measure the head jamb for level and the sill for pitch to determine whether the frame can be adjusted or must be replaced. For impact-rated French door installations, we specify multi-point locking hardware and reinforced hinges from CWS or ECO Window Systems, and we document the operational force of each panel - the pounds of pressure required to open and close - to confirm compliance with ADA and Florida accessibility standards where applicable.
Replacement Doors
Door Installation in Greenacres and surrounding areas addresses doors that have reached functional failure: warped slabs, rotted frames, failed seals, or hardware that cannot be sourced. In West Palm Beach homes built between 1980 and 2010, we regularly find original doors installed with non-integral aluminum frames that have corroded at the fastener points, or wood frames that have been compromised by termite damage hidden behind interior trim. Our replacement process begins with a destructive inspection of a small section of the existing frame to assess substrate condition - we photograph this and include it in your documented record. The written price distinguishes between a direct replacement (same opening, no structural modification) and a rebuild (frame replacement, header reinforcement, or stucco repair), so you understand the scope before authorizing work.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm and exterior doors are secondary protective layers or standalone access doors for garages, utility rooms, and rear entries. In West Palm Beach, these are often the most neglected doors in a home, exposed to sprinkler systems, pool chemicals, and direct sun without the protective overhang that front entries typically receive. We specify aluminum storm doors from ViewLux and impact-rated exterior doors from Mr-Glass for coastal exposure, with hardware packages rated for salt-air corrosion. The measured survey notes the door’s orientation - south and west exposures in West Palm Beach receive significantly more thermal and UV stress - and we specify glazing and finish accordingly. Every storm door installation includes a written operational checklist that we review with you before final sign-off.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We specify and install doors from eight verified manufacturer lines, selected by what your opening requires rather than what we have in inventory. For impact-rated installations in West Palm Beach, we regularly work with PGT and CGI - both hold current Florida Product Approvals for the wind-borne debris regions of Palm Beach County, and we maintain direct distributor relationships that allow us to source replacement hardware and glazing without the delays common to special-order channels. Our technicians have completed factory-authorized installation training for both product lines, and we document the approval numbers on every permit application we file.
We also specify CWS and ES Windows for mid-tier and premium energy-efficient door systems, ECO Window Systems for custom and geometric configurations, Mr-Glass for specialized impact glazing, Therma-Tru for fiberglass and steel entry systems, and ViewLux for sliding and patio door applications. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can evaluate the existing installation, source compatible replacements, and provide a written price for the scope required. Our home page outlines the full range of window and door services we offer across West Palm Beach and surrounding markets.

AfterSigns You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Visible daylight around the door perimeter when closed. Gaps between the door slab and the frame indicate weatherstrip failure, frame settlement, or slab warping. In West Palm Beach, this condition allows conditioned air to escape and humid outdoor air to enter, accelerating mold growth in wall cavities. We measure the gap pattern to determine whether the door needs adjustment, weatherstrip replacement, or full replacement.
- Water staining on interior flooring adjacent to the door. Water intrusion at the sill is the most common door failure we diagnose in West Palm Beach, where afternoon thunderstorms produce wind-driven rain that overwhelms inadequate flashing. The damage often extends into the subfloor before becoming visible. Our survey includes moisture-meter readings of the sill plate and adjacent framing.
- Difficulty latching or locking the door. A door that requires lifting, pulling, or shoulder pressure to engage the latch has likely settled in its frame or experienced hinge failure. In impact-rated doors, this operational stress transfers to the multi-point hardware and can cause premature failure of the locking mechanism. We check latch engagement depth and strike plate alignment as part of every survey.
- Corrosion or pitting on hardware and hinges. West Palm Beach’s salt air attacks unprotected metal surfaces within two to three miles of the Intracoastal Waterway. We see this most frequently in original hardware on homes in neighborhoods like Southland Park and Paradise Cove. Hardware replacement alone is often insufficient - the underlying frame may also be compromised.
- Cracked or delaminated door slab, especially at the bottom rail. Water absorption causes wood and composite doors to swell, crack, and delaminate. In fiberglass doors, impact damage from debris or UV degradation of the gel coat can expose the structural layer. We photograph the damage pattern to determine whether the failure is cosmetic or structural, and we specify replacement accordingly.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and documented condition report. Our technician arrives at the scheduled time, identified by name and license number. We photograph the existing door from exterior and interior perspectives, measure the rough opening width, height, and squareness to 1/16 inch, and record the frame condition, substrate type, and any visible damage. You receive a copy of this survey before we leave. This is Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document.
- 2
Written scope and fixed pricing. Within 24 hours, we deliver a written quote that specifies the door product by manufacturer and model, the installation method (direct replacement or frame rebuild), the permit requirements for your West Palm Beach address, and the total fixed price. The quote cannot differ from the measured survey. We also note any conditions that could affect the scope - concealed termite damage, non-standard rough opening dimensions, or stucco repair requirements - with pricing for each scenario.
- 3
Permit application and product ordering. For impact-rated and structural door replacements in West Palm Beach, we pull the permit and schedule inspection before work begins. We order the specified product with confirmed lead times and communicate the installation date once the product is in hand. Haven Clause 2: Arrive on schedule.
- 4
Installation by verified crew. The technicians who arrive are the technicians on your documentation - background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number. We protect your flooring and adjacent surfaces, remove the existing door without unnecessary damage to surrounding finishes, install the new assembly to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code requirements, and verify operation of all hardware. We photograph the completed installation from multiple angles for your documented photo record. Haven Clause 3: Verified crews. Haven Clause 4: Evidence on every job.
- 5
Final inspection, walkthrough, and warranty activation. We operate the door with you to confirm smooth latching, proper weatherstrip engagement, and correct lock function. We provide the manufacturer’s warranty documentation and activate the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard. The final invoice matches the written quote exactly. Haven Clause 5: No surprises.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in West Palm Beach?
A standard entry door replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs $1,200-$2,400 for a pre-hung fiberglass or steel unit in an existing frame. Impact-rated entry door installations range from $2,800-$4,800 depending on the glazing package, frame reinforcement requirements, and whether the rough opening needs structural modification. French and double door installations in West Palm Beach generally fall between $3,200-$6,500, with the upper range reflecting impact-rated specifications or wide-format openings requiring header reinforcement.
| Door Type | Typical Range in West Palm Beach | Primary Cost Drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard entry door (direct replacement) | $1,200 - $2,400 | Material tier, hardware package, finish |
| Impact-rated entry door | $2,800 - $4,800 | Glazing thickness, frame reinforcement, permit/inspection |
| French / double door | $3,200 - $6,500 | Opening width, header modification, impact rating |
| Storm / exterior door | $800 - $1,800 | Frame material, screen package, corrosion-resistant hardware |
| Frame rebuild or structural modification | $800 - $2,500 additional | Substrate condition, stucco repair, header engineering |
Several factors move the price within these ranges. The condition of the existing frame is the most significant - a frame that measures square and plumb allows direct replacement, while a settled or rotted frame requires rebuild labor and materials. Impact-rated products carry higher material costs and require permit fees and inspection scheduling in West Palm Beach. Custom sizes, non-standard finishes, and specialized hardware (multi-point locks, electronic access systems) add incremental cost that we itemize in the written quote.
To avoid overpaying, we recommend obtaining a written scope that specifies the exact product by manufacturer and model number, the installation method, and the permit status. Vague quotes that reference “similar product” or “allowance for materials” expose you to change orders after work begins. Our written quote is the final price - Haven Clause 1 guarantees it. Every free estimate includes the measured survey you keep, the written scope, and our line-item pricing with no obligation to proceed. Call (561) 354-3861 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Door installation is the complete replacement of the door slab, frame, and hardware as an integrated assembly, rather than component-level repair of existing parts. You need installation rather than repair when the frame is no longer square, the substrate is compromised, the product is obsolete and parts are unavailable, or the door has failed to perform its basic function of security, weather protection, or accessibility. In West Palm Beach, we most often recommend full installation when we find water damage to the sill plate or when the existing door lacks the impact rating required by current Florida Building Code for the replacement. Call (561) 354-3861 for a free evaluation - estimates are free.
A standard residential door replacement is typically completed in four to six hours, with the home secured and weatherproofed by the end of the workday. Impact-rated installations or frame rebuilds may extend to a full day or require a return visit for inspection, depending on the municipality’s inspection schedule. We do not leave an opening unsecured overnight. The written scope we provide specifies the expected duration for your particular installation. Call (561) 354-3861 to schedule your measured survey and receive a timeline with your written quote.
Door installation in West Palm Beach ranges from $1,200 for a standard entry door replacement to $6,500 or more for wide-format impact-rated French doors with structural modification. The specific price depends on the product tier, the frame condition, and whether permits and inspections are required. Our written quote itemizes every component - product, labor, materials, permit fees, and any scenario pricing for concealed conditions - before you authorize work. Call (561) 354-3861 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

We provide urgent response for security-compromised doors - forced entry damage, structural failure, or storm damage that leaves an opening exposed - with live phone coverage 24/7 at (561) 354-3861. We do not promise same-day completion for planned replacements, which require measured survey, product procurement, and permit coordination.

Every installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard - if it’s not done right, we make it right, including labor and materials to correct any defect in our workmanship. Manufacturer warranties on the door product itself vary by brand and range from limited lifetime to 20-year coverage on specific components; we register these warranties in your name and provide the documentation at completion. The documented photo record we create serves as baseline evidence for any future warranty claim. Call (561) 354-3861 for warranty details specific to your product selection.
Clear the interior and exterior access paths to the door, remove wall hangings and window treatments that could be disturbed by vibration, and locate any documentation you have about the existing door - manufacturer labels, prior permits, or warranty records. You do not need to move furniture or remove the existing door; our survey is non-destructive unless we identify a concealed condition that requires minor exploratory work, which we photograph and discuss with you before proceeding. The technician will need access to measure both sides of the opening and inspect the frame condition. Call (561) 354-3861 to schedule your free measured survey.
