AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across North Palm Beach
Door installation in North Palm Beach costs between $1,200 and $6,800 for most entry and exterior doors, with hurricane-rated systems running $2,800 to $8,500 installed. The price depends on whether the original 1960s frame can be reused or needs a block-opening rebuild. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
We know North Palm Beach door work the way only a company that has pulled original jalousie frames from CBS block openings can. The salt air off the Intracoastal and the Atlantic hits your door hardware from two directions at once. That changes what gets installed, how it gets anchored, and what it costs. Our crews work the 33408 ZIP every week, from Lighthouse Drive to the canal fingers off Prosperity Farms Road.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s company, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, and we have been doing this kind of work since 2008. North Palm Beach homeowners keep calling us because we show up when we say, we measure twice, and we do not pad the bill with surprise line items. Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Our installers are background-checked and uniformed. They are trained apprentices who became journeymen the old way, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, so you get side-by-side quotes on paper, not a sales pitch for whatever is in stock. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That matters when you are standing in front of a door that will not close square.
Our Door Installation Services in North Palm Beach
Entry Doors
Most North Palm Beach entry doors are original to the house. That means 50 to 60 years of salt exposure on the hardware and frame. We install fiberglass and composite entry doors sized to today’s standard openings, which are wider and taller than what builders framed in the 1960s. The job often includes reworking the rough opening and replacing the threshold while we are in there, because the aluminum threshold has usually pitted and oxidized past saving.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Palm Beach County’s HVHZ wind zone requires impact-rated doors on every replacement. We install Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval rated entry systems from Therma-Tru and CGI, with laminated glass interlayers that hold together under impact. On canal-front lots, where the wind loads are higher and the salt is harsher, we specify stainless steel hinges and composite jambs so the door does not sag or seize within a decade.
French & Double Doors
French doors on a North Palm Beach patio or canal-facing wall get the worst of both weather directions. The astragal, the hardware, the threshold all corrode faster than the same door installed a few miles inland in Palm Beach Gardens. We replace French and double door systems and anchor them properly into the block, with astragals that seal against wind-driven rain from the east and the west.
Replacement Doors
When a North Palm Beach homeowner calls about a door that binds in July or lets daylight through the jamb, the real issue is usually the opening, not the slab. We pull the old frame, inspect the block behind it, and rebuild what is needed before the new door goes in. This applies whether you are replacing a front entry, a side door off the carport, or a utility door on the canal side of the house.
For the full scope of what our Door Installation team handles, we cover storm and exterior doors, impact-rated systems, and custom sizing as well.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install and service Therma-Tru, PGT, and CGI door systems, and we keep common hardware and threshold components for these brands staged for North Palm Beach jobs. That means faster turnaround when your door fails a wind mitigation inspection or a hinge lets go. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying and what the warranty covers in writing.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum thresholds. Double-direction salt air from the Intracoastal and the Atlantic pits aluminum thresholds and steel hinges within 10 to 15 years. The door starts binding at the bottom, then the hinges sag, then the whole slab drags on the jamb.
- Crumbling 1960s jalousie frames. Original aluminum door frames on CBS ranch homes are often so thin from oxidation that the anchor fins disintegrate when we remove them. What began as a slab swap becomes a block-opening repair and regrout job once the old frame comes out.
- Non-rated replacements failing wind mitigation. Some contractors install doors that do not meet Palm Beach County’s HVHZ requirements. The door goes in, the insurance inspector comes out, and the homeowner loses windstorm credits. We match design pressures to the opening and the wind zone before we quote.
- Undersized original openings. 1950s and 1960s builders framed door openings smaller than modern code. A replacement often requires recutting the opening, which means permits, structural headers, and a longer install, but we scope all of it before you sign anything.
Pricing for Door Installation in North Palm Beach, FL
A standard fiberglass entry door replacement in North Palm Beach, reusing a sound frame, runs $1,200 to $3,400 installed. If we need to rebuild the block opening and regrout the jamb, expect $2,800 to $5,200. Hurricane-rated entry systems with Miami-Dade NOA compliant glazing start around $2,800 and run to $8,500 on canal-front lots where wind loads push design pressures higher. Storm and exterior doors fall between $900 and $2,600 depending on rating and hardware. We give every North Palm Beach customer a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
What Door Installation Costs in North Palm Beach
The big driver in North Palm Beach is whether the original frame survives removal. On a 1960s CBS ranch, it usually does not. The salt air has been eating the anchor fins from both directions for 60 years, and the frame crumbles when we pull it. That adds a structural repair line item: block work, regrout, new jamb anchors, sometimes a new header. The second driver is wind zone. Canal-front and Intracoastal-facing doors must handle higher design pressures than doors on the interior streets off PGA Boulevard, and the rated product costs more. The third driver is size and configuration: a single entry door runs less than a French double or a custom-width opening.
Where other companies quote a door and then add change orders for the block work, we scope it before you sign. Our in-home measure is free, and the written quote includes the rebuild line item if we know the frame will not survive. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule yours.

Florida Pays You Back
North Palm Beach homeowners can stack multiple programs on an impact door replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we will not promise a credit amount, but we will give you the documentation to file for it. Every door we install carries a Noa or Florida Product Approval number matched to the opening, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave.
Building on Acreage Around North Palm Beach
Some North Palm Beach properties are not on the standard village grid. The larger lots near the eastern edges of the 33408 ZIP, and the canal frontages, can involve county rather than village permitting, septic and well setbacks, and long material hauls for equipment access. If you have a detached ADU, a workshop, or a shop building, each exterior door on that structure needs its own design pressure calculation and its own permit line. We include grading and drainage checks on open-lot installs, because a door set too low on a grade collects runoff and rots the threshold from underneath within a few seasons. Before we quote, we confirm which jurisdiction issues the permit and which code version applies, so the price you sign reflects the actual scope. This is not the cheapest way to buy a door. It is the way that keeps the door on the opening for 30 years in a salt environment.

FAQs - Door Installation in North Palm Beach
The salt air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal and canals on the other attacks aluminum from both directions simultaneously. After 50 to 60 years, the anchor fins that hold the frame to the CBS block thin out to the point where they break off during removal. That is why full frame replacement is the near-universal job type in North Palm Beach, not a slab swap. We quote the block-opening repair line item up front. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will measure your opening before the old frame comes out.
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a permit for exterior door replacement regardless of opening size, because the door must meet current HVHZ wind load requirements. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the door passes on the first visit. The permit cost is in your written quote.
Canal-front doors in North Palm Beach must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the specific wind pressure at that elevation and exposure. We pull the design pressure requirement for each opening, then match the door and glazing to it. A door that meets inland code may not meet the canal-front number, and installing one means failing your wind mitigation inspection. We will not install a door that does not match the opening. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free measure and pressure check.
316 marine-grade stainless steel hinges and hardware hold up best against the double-direction salt exposure in North Palm Beach. Powder-coated hardware fails faster, and aluminum thresholds pit within a decade on canal-front lots. We specify stainless or composite components on every job within a few hundred yards of salt water, and we will show you the difference in writing before you choose.
If the frame is original to a 1960s North Palm Beach home, the answer is usually full frame replacement. The salt has been working on the anchor fins for 60 years, and the frame will not securely hold a new slab. We will tell you the truth after we inspect the opening, and our written quote will show both scenarios before any work begins. Estimates are free. Call (888) 635-0804.
