AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Boca Raton
Door installation in Boca Raton runs $900 to $5,000 per opening, depending on whether you need a standard replacement door or an impact-rated unit engineered for Palm Beach County’s coastal wind zone. Most single-door replacements in Boca Raton take one day once the door arrives; custom or HOA-approved work adds 3 to 6 weeks for architectural review and fabrication before we ever schedule the install. If your doors are original to an Arvida-built home from the 1970s or 1980s, you are probably looking at salt-corroded frames that need full replacement, not repair.
Our crews work throughout Boca Raton every week, from Boca West and Broken Sound down to the beachside condos in 33487. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with the exact door line, ratings, and warranty terms spelled out on paper.
Key Takeaways:
- Most Boca Raton door replacements run $900-$5,000, with impact-rated units on the higher end.
- HOA communities like Boca West and Woodfield require Architectural Review Committee approval before any exterior door work, adding 3-6 weeks of lead time.
- Palm Beach County’s coastal wind zone effectively requires impact-rated glazing for any new door under current Florida Building Code and insurance underwriting standards.
- Every TruePane job includes the Done Right Promise and both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started the company in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We have served South Florida communities since 2008 through the Kessler family’s craft tradition, and our Boca Raton work is coordinated from our South Florida office so scheduling and permitting move quickly. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before ordering. Boca Raton homeowners repeatedly tell us the same thing: they called us because a previous contractor left a door that binds in July or a fogged seal nobody would stand behind. We hear it in St. Andrews, in Woodfield Country Club, in the beachfront buildings along A1A. Our answer is the same every time: a square deal, upfront pricing, and a written warranty that covers both the manufacturer layers and our own Done Right Promise.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and when we quote a Boca Raton door replacement, we put the options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, what each line costs, and what the warranty durations actually say. Dale Kessler’s rule governs every install we do in Boca Raton.
Our Door Installation Services in Boca Raton
Our Door Installation team handles the full range of entry, patio, and storm door work across Boca Raton, with particular depth in the replacement and impact-rating upgrades that older Arvida communities constantly require. Here is what Boca Raton homeowners call us for most.
Entry Doors
A new entry door in Boca Raton is typically a one-day install once the door arrives. The real questions are frame material, glass rating, and finish. Many homes in 33428 and 33498 still have the original builder-grade steel doors from the 1990s, which are now warping from humidity and salt exposure. We walk you through solid-core, composite, and impact-rated entry options from lines like Therma-Tru and PGT, quoted side by side.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Boca Raton sits squarely in Palm Beach County’s coastal high-wind zone, with design wind speeds around 150 mph. That is not a suggestion; it is a Florida Building Code mandate. Impact-rated front doors with laminated glass and reinforced frames are what most Boca Raton homeowners need to satisfy both code officials and their insurer. We handle the full Miami-Dade NOA paperwork, design pressure matching for your specific opening, and permit documentation so the install is compliant on day one.
French & Double Doors
French doors in Boca Raton’s Mediterranean-style Arvida homes often fail at the meeting stile where the two panels close, especially on older single-track sliders that have been breathing Atlantic salt air for 40 years. If the original jambs are corroded, reusing them is a mistake. We replace the full rough opening when the substrate is compromised, and we match trim, frame color, and grille patterns to whatever your HOA’s Architectural Review Committee has on file.
Replacement Doors
Most replacement door work in Boca Raton happens in homes built before 1995, when South Florida building codes tightened after Hurricane Andrew. Those original doors were never engineered for modern wind loads. We handle complete removal and replacement, including any rotted or corroded framing. That is the difference between a door that seals and a door that leaks air, water, and your cooling bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We stock and install door lines that hold up in coastal Florida conditions. For Boca Raton homes, we often recommend PGT and CGI impact-rated doors because their Miami-Dade NOA compliance is well documented and their hardware is built for salt air. We also work with Therma-Tru for entry doors and Mr-Glass for specialty glazing. Whatever line fits your opening and your budget, we quote it with the exact model, glass package, and warranty terms printed in the estimate. No vague promises about coverage; the durations are stated in writing.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Salt-coroded aluminum frames: Homes east of Dixie Highway and along the Intracoastal in 33487 breathe concentrated Atlantic salt air. Aluminum frames and hardware corrode faster here than even 20 miles inland, and by year 15 or 20, repair is usually uneconomical. We see it constantly in waterfront condo buildings and single-family homes built in the 1980s.
- HOA stop-work orders: Boca Raton has dozens of gated communities with Architectural Review Committees that must pre-approve any exterior door replacement. Homeowners who skip this step get a stop-work order and a door opening exposed for weeks. We handle ARC submittals before we order the door.
- Non-impact doors in a wind zone: Installing a standard door where the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing can trigger insurance non-renewal. We have walked into homes in 33486 and 33433 where a previous contractor installed non-rated doors to save money, and the homeowner is now paying for a second, correct install.
- Reusing corroded jambs: On 40-year-old Arvida doors, the original jambs are often too far gone to hold a new unit square. Reusing them leads to sash misalignment within months and voids Florida Product Approval warranty coverage outright. We open the rough opening, check the substrate, and replace framing when it needs it.
Pricing for Door Installation in Boca Raton, FL
For Door Installation in Boca Raton, a standard entry door replacement typically runs $900 to $2,200 installed. Impact-rated entry doors start around $2,000 and often land between $2,500 and $4,500 depending on glass package and frame material. French or double door replacements run $2,500 to $5,000 on average, and custom or oversized openings can push past that range. HOA architectural approval work adds no cost from us; we handle the submittal as part of the job.
What moves the price in Boca Raton is straightforward: opening count, wind zone requirements, floor height on elevated beachside homes, and whether the HOA mandates specific frame colors or grille patterns. We do not give ballpark numbers and then surprise you on the bill. We measure, quote, and hold the price. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home estimate.
What Door Installation Costs in Boca Raton
Door pricing in Boca Raton is driven by three things: impact-rating requirements, HOA specifications, and the condition of the existing rough opening. Here is what we tell homeowners during the in-home measure:
- Standard replacement door (non-impact): $900-$2,200 installed. Fine for interior-facing doors or protected openings that do not fall under code wind-load requirements.
- Impact-rated single entry door: $2,000-$4,500 installed. This is the price band most Boca Raton exterior doors fall into.
- Impact French or double doors: $2,500-$5,000 installed. Wide spans need reinforced framing and heavier laminated glass, which moves the number.
- Custom or oversized openings: $5,000 and up. Architectural shapes, extra-tall sliders, and multi-panel assemblies in Woodfield Country Club or St. Andrews homes require fabrication lead times.
- Whole-home door packages: $8,000-$25,000+. Most older Arvida homes need multiple doors replaced at once for consistent glass tint and frame color.
We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side, and hand you a written line-item price before any order goes in. No change orders, no surprise add-ons. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule your free measure.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has incentive programs that can offset a meaningful chunk of a door replacement in Boca Raton, and we help you navigate them without overpromising. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated doors and windows. There is also a Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which takes a real percentage off the top of a $10,000 project. The federal 25C energy credit can cover 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, homeowners in Boca Raton often see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The inspection runs $75 to $150.
We will not guarantee a specific premium discount or grant approval; that is between you, your insurer, and the state. What we will do is install impact-rated doors with documentation that makes those incentive and credits applications straightforward. One point worth stating plainly: impact windows and doors are permanent protection. No panels to haul out before a storm, no shutters to store. Once the glass is in, the protection is always in place.
When choosing between a big-box retail install and a licensed impact specialist, here is the difference that matters in Boca Raton: a licensed specialist pulls the permit, matches design pressures to each opening, registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before leaving, and knows how to navigate HOA Architectural Review Committees. A retail subcontracted crew may not do any of that. We do all of it.

FAQs - Door Installation in Boca Raton
For any exterior door in Boca Raton’s coastal wind zone, the answer is almost always impact-rated glazing. Palm Beach County code and your homeowner insurer effectively require it. Standard glass on an exterior opening puts you at risk of non-renewal and leaves your home vulnerable when the 150 mph design wind load hits. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will tell you exactly what your specific opening requires.
In an HOA community like Boca West, the ARC approval process adds 3 to 6 weeks of lead time before fabrication even begins, and then custom units run another 4 to 6 weeks. The actual on-site replacement is usually one day once the door arrives. We coordinate the architectural review submittal as part of our standard process so the timeline does not stall at the committee desk. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will map out the full schedule for your specific community.
Yes, but only if the work is done to current Florida Building Code and the HOA’s architectural specs. That means impact-rated glass where required, matching frame color and grille pattern, and proper permit documentation. We handle the permit and the ARC submittal because skipping either step is how builder warranties get voided. Call (888) 635-0804 and mention your warranty question; we will work it into the quote.
If the frame is aluminum and more than 15 to 20 years old, the salt air along Boca Raton’s coast has likely compromised the track and the jambs to a point where repair is not worth doing. A door that still closes but has visible corrosion is usually a full replacement candidate, and if it is non-impact, it is also a code compliance issue. In the gated Woodfield Country Club, our crew replaced a corroded original 1980s Arvida sliding door with a PGT impact-rated slider, matching the ARC-approved frame color and grille pattern, and the homeowner did not void any builder warranty. We can do the same for your home. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free measure.
The safest approach is to match the community’s original architectural spec. Existing frame color, glass tint, and grille pattern are typically what the ARC will approve. That is why we pull the HOA’s documentation before recommending a door style. For French doors specifically, we often recommend impact-rated laminated glass in a frame finish that matches the original, with hardware finishes that coordinate with the home’s other exterior fixtures. Call (888) 635-0804 and mention your community; we will tell you what the ARC is likely to approve.
