AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Hollywood
Door installation in West Hollywood costs roughly $1,850-$7,400 for a standard entry replacement, with arched or custom steel-profile work running $4,200-$12,000+ depending on the opening and what your permit triggers once the wall is open. We serve every corner of the 90069 ZIP with door crews who know the RSO rules and the Design Review process before the first hinge is set. If you’re in a 1920s courtyard apartment on Sweetzer or a Mid-Century condo off Santa Monica Boulevard, call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through what the job will actually involve, on paper, before you sign anything.
What separates a TruePane install from a generic Los Angeles operator is the local knowledge baked into every step. West Hollywood is only 1.9 square miles, but it packs more rent-stabilized, design-review-scrutinized multifamily housing into that footprint than any neighboring city. That changes how a door gets spec’d, approved, and installed here, and we plan for it from the first inspection.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Door Installation in West Hollywood is not a sideline for us. TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company has served local communities since 2008 through a heritage of craft. Dale keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard governs every door we hang on a WeHo apartment or single-family home.
West Hollywood customers keep calling us back because we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and state the durations before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it means you never get a door installed and then discover the manufacturer won’t honor a claim because the paperwork was never filed. Every TruePane job is also covered by our Done Right Promise. If something is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work inside occupied units the way they would work in their own mother’s home. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree and not a regional call center. When you call about a West Hollywood entry door that binds in July, you talk to a person who can help you that day.
Our Door Installation Services in West Hollywood
Entry & Swing Doors
The entry door on a West Hollywood apartment is the most security-critical and design-review-sensitive opening on the unit. We replace out-of-true, corroded, or poorly sealing entry doors with manufacturer lines including PGT and CGI, sized and set to hold a true reveal on all four sides. On RSO-covered buildings, we handle the tenant notification and access scheduling so the job gets done without violating the ordinance or the relationship with your tenant. Most single entry door replacements in West Hollywood run $1,850-$4,600.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched openings are common on Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival buildings along Fountain Avenue and Havenhurst Drive, and they are where careless contractors fail. An arched door is not a stock item. We measure the radius with a template before ordering, then match the original profile and sight lines so Design Review doesn’t kick the permit back. Custom arched doors in West Hollywood typically run $4,200-$12,000, and the price reflects the fabrication, the city review, and the patience the install demands.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors in 1920s-60s stucco buildings often hide the most expensive problems behind the original casing: undersized headers, rotted sill plates, and flashing that failed decades ago. We inspect the rough opening before we quote, write framing and waterproofing allowances into the contract so there are no surprise line items later, and price every change in writing before we touch it. A standard double door replacement in West Hollywood lands between $3,200 and $8,800, with the upper end almost always involving reframing or RSO-required review.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a growing request in West Hollywood’s newer construction and full-gut remodels along the Sunset Strip corridor. A pivot door changes the physics of the opening, and it demands a subframe that can carry a several-hundred-pound slab without sagging. TruePane installs pivot systems flush, square, and balanced, and registers both warranty layers before the truck leaves. Pivot door installation in West Hollywood starts around $5,500 for a single slab with hardware and runs upward from there.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for West Hollywood’s older building stock, the brands that matter most are the ones built for coastal climates and impact conditions. We regularly quote and install PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others, and we show you manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. When a 1930s courtyard apartment needs a steel-profile match for a corroded Casement door, we source or fabricate the right profile rather than slapping in a vinyl slab that Design Review will reject on sight.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Outdated wiring behind the wall triggers a permit upgrade. On more than one WeHo job, opening a wall around a door revealed knob-and-tube or ungrounded wiring that the inspector required us to address before closing the permit. We catch this during the initial inspection and write the allowance into your contract, so the price moves before the wall is open, not after.
- Undersized or rotted framing in 1920s-60s stucco buildings. A new pre-hung door will not square up in a rough opening that has drifted or rotted over 60 years. Reframing is the fix, and it is the single biggest reason a West Hollywood door quote moves. We price it as a clearly stated allowance, never a hidden change order.
- Failed waterproofing behind original door casings. The original flashing tape and sill pans on many WeHo courtyard units are long gone, and moisture has been working its way into the wall cavity for years. Once the inspector sees the open wall, the waterproofing fix is required, not optional. Our contracts already account for this.
- Design Review rejections for mismatched replacement doors. West Hollywood’s Design Review process scrutinizes whether a new door preserves the architectural character of the building. A stock fiberglass door on a Spanish Colonial facade will get sent back. We spec replacements that match original proportions and profiles the first time.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Hollywood, CA
A standard single entry door replacement in West Hollywood runs $1,850-$4,600, including the slab, hardware, installation, and warranty registration. Double or French door replacements land between $3,200 and $8,800. Arched and custom steel-profile doors start around $4,200 and climb past $12,000 on RSO-covered buildings where fabrication and Design Review add time and cost. The two biggest movers on any West Hollywood door quote are reframing (when the rough opening has rotted or shifted) and compliance work triggered by a permit inspection. We inspect first, write those allowances into the contract, and any additional scope is priced and approved in writing before we touch the wall. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the numbers on paper for your specific building.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Hollywood
Yes. West Hollywood’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance covers almost all pre-1979 multi-family apartment buildings, and door replacement in an occupied unit triggers landlord-tenant notification and coordinated access scheduling requirements. Our crews work directly with property owners to plan the notification, schedule the work inside the unit, and keep the job moving without putting you out of compliance. Call (888) 635-0804 to get the exact protocol for your building before you sign a contract, and our estimate is free.
Almost certainly not. West Hollywood’s Design Review process specifically checks whether replacement doors preserve the architectural character of Art Deco, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Mid-Century Modern facades. On a Spanish Colonial building, that means matching the original door’s proportions, panel configuration, and sight lines, not dropping in a stock door from a supply yard. TruePane specs and fabricates replacements to clear Design Review before the permit is filed, so you don’t get a rejection letter halfway through the job. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact quote on a code-compliant, review-ready door.
If your contractor didn’t inspect first, you’ll find out about the outdated wiring or failed waterproofing as a surprise change order after the wall is open. TruePane inspects the rough opening, the wall cavity, and the surrounding framing before we quote, then writes those allowances into the contract in writing. Any additional scope that appears later is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. That is the difference between a firm price and a door quote that doubles mid-job. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate that includes the inspection.
No, not on a permitted swap. West Hollywood sits in LA’s Climate Zone 9, and Title 24 sets specific Solar Heat Gain Coefficient thresholds for replacement doors. Dual-pane low-e glass is effectively required on any permitted replacement, which is a recurring education point for landlords of older buildings who assume single-pane is still an option. We’ll show you the exact Title 24 pathway and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through the code compliance on your specific building, free.
We fabricate steel-profile replacements with matching sight lines, or we source an approved aluminum clad that holds the same visual profile, then build the frame and threshold to the original opening’s dimensions. Our crew replaced a corroded original steel casement entry door on Havenhurst Drive in a 1930s courtyard apartment where the jamb had shifted over decades. We fabricated the steel-profile match with low-E glass and argon fill, sealed the flashing tape, and set a new threshold that cleared RSO-mandated design review. That is the craft commitment, and it’s covered by our Done Right Promise if the install is not true. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate on your door.
