AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach typically runs $1,200 to $4,800 for a standard entry door, and $2,800 to $9,000+ for a hurricane-rated impact door on a landmarked or contributing structure. Most jobs that do not involve ARCOM review are completed in a single day once the unit arrives. If you’re on the island and the door is sticking, sagging, or showing rust at the hardware, call (888) 635-0804. Our team knows the difference between a job on South Ocean Boulevard and one in West Palm Beach, and we quote accordingly.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane has been putting doors into Florida homes since 2008. That matters in Palm Beach specifically because door work here is rarely a straight swap. The housing stock leans toward Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates built in the 1920s through the 1940s, and a significant portion of the island’s roughly 3,000 residences carry landmark or contributing-structure designations. That means the Architectural Commission, known locally as ARCOM, gets a say in what goes back into the opening. We have sat through enough ARCOM submittals to know which impact door lines will clear review and which ones get rejected for frame sightlines that are too wide.
Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they measure every opening twice. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That is not a marketing line. It is how Dale Kessler has run this company since 2008, and it is why homeowners in Palm Beach who have been burned before tend to call us second and stay with us after.
Every install is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to doors as much as windows.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
On a narrow Atlantic barrier island, a front door is not decorative. It is the first line against wind-borne debris during a named storm. Our Door Installation team installs impact-rated entry doors that meet Florida Building Code wind-borne debris provisions and carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers matched to the opening’s design pressure. For Palm Beach homeowners, the door also has to clear ARCOM if the home is a contributing structure. We stock slim-profile fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum impact lines specifically for that review.
French & Double Doors
Loggia doors, French doors opening to a courtyard, double doors off a dining room. These are signature features of Mizner-era and Spanish Colonial homes in Palm Beach, and they are also the doors most likely to have old-growth wood rot, rusted hinges, and hardware seized by salt air. We replace or re-hang them to swing plumb, seal tight, and hold an impact rating when the elevation requires it. The original arched profile stays. The sag goes away.
Replacement Doors
If the slab is fine but the frame is gone, we tell you that. If the frame is fine but the slab is warped or the threshold is settling, we tell you that too. Honest assessment before the quote. On Palm Beach’s east-facing ocean-side elevations, we see salt-spray corrosion eat aluminum frames and weatherstripping within two to three years. We recommend materials and hardware rated for that exposure, not whatever the big-box aisle has in stock.
Entry Doors
A new entry door in Palm Beach has to do three jobs at once: match a historic streetscape, hold up to coastal weather, and keep the air-conditioned interior sealed. We walk you through side-by-side quotes on manufacturer lines like PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, with the impact rating, finish, and hardware listed on paper. You see exactly what you are buying before you sign anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on the island we lean heavily on PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. These are the brands that offer slim-profile impact units with the documentation ARCOM wants to see. We keep parts and hardware for these lines close at hand so a Palm Beach homeowner is not waiting on an obscure component from out of state. When a door fails, you want it fixed. We stock what it takes to do that.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM rejections on modern impact doors. The most common failure mainland installers run into is an impact door with an aluminum frame too wide to match the original Crittall steel or old-growth wood sightlines. We pre-clears the profile with ARCOM before you order, so the door you buy is the door that gets approved.
- Salt-spray corrosion on east-facing hardware. Palm Beach sits on the Atlantic, and ocean-side elevations get a constant dose of salt air. Hinges, thresholds, and weatherstripping oxidize fast on these homes. We spec 316 stainless hardware and corrosion-resistant weatherstripping for ocean-facing doors, not the standard components that fail in two seasons.
- Hidden rot or termite damage in old jambs. Removing a 1930s door in Palm Beach often reveals framing that is soft, undersized, or studded with old termite channels. We open the wall, show you what is there, and price the structural repair as a written allowance before work starts. No surprise line items.
- Undersized or failed waterproofing at the threshold. Island rains are heavy and horizontal. If the threshold pan or sill flashing was never right, water has been getting behind the jamb for decades. We re-flash the opening to current Florida code, not just to the old house’s original standard.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach, FL
A standard entry door replacement in Palm Beach runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed, depending on slab material, hardware finish, and whether the opening needs reframing. A hurricane-rated impact entry door starts around $2,800 and commonly lands between $4,500 and $9,000 on a contributing structure where the profile must match the original. French or double door replacement runs $3,500 to $12,000 depending on size, impact rating, and the condition of the rough opening. A whole-home door package on a larger estate can push past $25,000. Every quote from TruePane is free, itemized in writing, and locked before work begins. Call (888) 635-0804 to set one up.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Impact doors in Palm Beach generally run $800 to $1,500 per opening on a standard replacement, with single doors landing between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom arched openings run $2,500 to $5,000 and up, especially when the profile must match a Mizner-era original. Whole-home packages across a Palm Beach estate fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more. What moves the number here: opening count, wind zone (most of the island is HVHZ), floor height, frame material, and whether ARCOM review is triggered. TruePane does a free in-home measure and gives you a written, line-item quote. No numbers over the phone that change later.
Florida Pays You Back
Impact-rated doors in Palm Beach can qualify for several incentives at once. The My Safe Florida Home program has matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are currently exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can cover 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Whether a permanent impact door beats hanging hurricane shutters every storm, the answer is yes: no panels to store, no bolts to fumble in the rain, and protection is always in place. Final numbers come from your carrier and the state, not from us. We will have the opening protected and the paperwork in order.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
The single biggest ask on this page, answered plainly: ARCOM approval. Palm Beach’s Landmarks Preservation Commission and Architectural Commission require that door replacements on designated historic and contributing structures replicate the original profiles. That means an impact-rated unit with slim sightlines that match 1920s and 1930s Mizner-era steel casements. Modern aluminum impact frames are often too wide, and ARCOM rejects them. Our team stocks slim-profile fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum impact doors specifically to clear that review while still meeting HVHZ large-missile ratings. The dual-compliance path is: match the historic look, meet the coastal wind code, and document both.
On a landmarked Mediterranean Revival estate near South Ocean Boulevard, we replaced a salt-corroded 1930s steel entry door with a Miami-Dade NOA fiberglass impact unit from PGT. The original arched profile stayed. A custom jamb reinforcement carried the load, ARCOM approved the submittal, and the door meets HVHZ large-missile rating. That is what dual compliance looks like on a real house. It does not happen with a standard door ordered from a catalog.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach
Only if the structure is designated as a landmark or contributing building under the Town of Palm Beach’s preservation ordinance. Most of the island’s roughly 3,000 residences fall into some level of review, but a non-designated home generally does not need ARCOM sign-off. The best way to know is to check the property’s designation status or bring it to us. We will tell you what applies to your specific address before you order anything. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free assessment.
In a historic Palm Beach home, slab-only replacement often fails ARCOM review because the new slab profile must match the original leaf thickness and edge detail, which modern hollow metal or aluminum slabs rarely do. We can sometimes salvage a solid old-growth frame and hang a custom-milled slab into it, but more often the entire assembly goes. The honest answer depends on what is behind the old jamb. We open it, show you, and quote the fix in writing before we touch anything.
Palm Beach sits in the HVHZ wind zone, so the door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with a large-missile rating and design pressure matched to your specific opening. A wind-mitigation inspection then documents the installation for your carrier. We provide the product approval paperwork and the install details the inspector needs. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will explain the rating your elevation requires.
We stop, show you the damage, photograph it, and price the structural repair as an allowance written into the original contract. That means the number was already agreed upon before we opened the wall. If the fix exceeds the allowance, you approve the new number in writing before we proceed. No surprises on the final bill. This is standard practice on older Palm Beach homes, and any contractor who does not work this way is not being square with you.
Yes. We keep slim-profile fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum impact doors from PGT, CGI, and ViewLux that are narrow enough to pass ARCOM aesthetic review on most historic properties. These are production units, not custom fabrications, so the lead time is shorter and the price is lower. Not every opening accepts a stock door, but enough do that it is worth checking before assuming you need custom joinery. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and we will tell you straight.
