AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach Gardens
Door installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $1,800 to $6,500 for a standard impact-rated entry door, and $4,000 to $12,000 for French or double door systems once HOA approvals and custom sizing are factored in. The range is wide because this city is not like inland Palm Beach County. Palm Beach Gardens sits in Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, and if your home is in a master-planned community like PGA National, BallenIsles, Mirasol, or Frenchman’s Creek, your door also has to clear an architectural review board before the county will even look at the permit. That sequence, if handled wrong, costs homeowners an extra $2,000 to $8,000 in reorders. We walk every Palm Beach Gardens job through the approvals in the right order, and we have been doing it long enough that the committees know our paperwork. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that spells out every line item before you sign.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who built the company on a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to doors as much as windows. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, and CGI, and we put those quotes side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. No verbal shortcuts. No “trust me” pricing.
Palm Beach Gardens homeowners deal with two layers of approval on nearly every door replacement: the HOA architectural committee and Palm Beach County’s impact requirements. A contractor who does not know the city’s sequence of approvals will let you order a door the HOA rejects, or pull a county permit before the committee signs off, and you eat the cost. We have replaced doors in every major community in the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes, and we know which communities require specific frame colors, which ones cap glass tint at a certain VLT percentage, and which ones will only accept a short list of manufacturers. We handle the HOA packet, the Florida Product Approval documentation, and the permit application in the order that keeps your job from stalling.
Every TruePane job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. We stand behind the work. We have been serving local communities since 2008 through Dale’s family craft tradition, and we act like a company that plans to be in Palm Beach Gardens in thirty years. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. Call (888) 635-0804 and you will speak to a person who can schedule your free estimate.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Entry Doors
Entry door replacement in Palm Beach Gardens is rarely a swap-and-go job. Most homes in the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes are 1980s to 2000s CBS construction with Mediterranean or Tuscan detailing, including arched openings, transom windows, and glass sidelites that require custom-sized units. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and order the door to the exact rough opening, not the nearest stock size. That matters when your HOA requires a specific frame profile or glass package.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Palm Beach Gardens is squarely inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region under the Florida Building Code. Impact-rated doors are not an upgrade here. They are the code minimum on any replacement permit. We install PGT and CGI impact doors with Miami-Dade NOA documentation, stainless steel hinges, and marine-grade powder coat on hardware. In communities like PGA National’s eastern sections, where salt-laden breezes off the Intracoastal pit standard hardware within a few years, the hardware spec matters as much as the glass. This is the one line item where cheap bids come back to bite you within a decade.
French & Double Doors
French doors in Palm Beach Gardens present two problems that inland cities never see. First, older homes often have non-impact French doors installed under earlier codes, which means they will fail a large-missile impact test and let wind-borne debris breach the envelope during a storm. Second, HOA committees in Mirasol and Frenchman’s Creek regulate the glass tint, frame color, and sometimes the stile width on French doors, and a deviation triggers a full reorder at your expense. We check the committee’s pre-approved palette before we order, not after. The same applies to arched double doors on Tuscan-style homes, which are nearly always custom fabrication with a 4 to 6 week lead time.
Replacement Doors
Replacement doors in the older MacArthur-era sections of Palm Beach Gardens, the 1960s and 1970s homes with original aluminum frames, are often beyond saving. Salt air oxidizes aluminum at the jamb, the door seizes, and the seal goes with it. We recommend full frame replacement on those homes rather than a slab swap, because installing a new slab into a corroded frame is a warranty claim waiting to happen. On newer CBS homes, a slab replacement can work if the frame is square and the threshold is solid. We will tell you which applies to your opening and quote it straight.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We are an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, PGT, and CGI, three lines that come up constantly in Palm Beach Gardens because they carry Florida Product Approval numbers and Miami-Dade NOA documentation that HOA committees and building departments recognize. We also service and install ViewLux and other major manufacturers. Because we install these lines in this city week after week, our crews know which models clear the BallenIsles and Frenchman’s Creek review boards and which glass packages meet Mirasol’s tint requirements without a second look. That local knowledge is the difference between a six-week job and a twelve-week job. We keep common hardware, thresholds, and weatherstripping on our trucks so most service calls are a single visit.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- Salt corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Homes five to seven miles from the Atlantic, especially near the Intracoastal, get salt-laden prevailing breezes that pit standard door hardware and oxidize aluminum frames within eight to ten years. We specify stainless steel hinges and marine-grade powder coat on every coastal-spec install.
- HOA rejection after the door is ordered. Mirasol and Frenchman’s Creek committees enforce specific frame colors and glass tints, and a homeowner who orders before approval can be forced to reorder at full cost. We pull HOA approval first, county permit second, and do not order until both are signed.
- Non-impact doors failing wind-mitigation inspection. French doors installed under older codes fail the large-missile rating and leave the home’s envelope exposed. Replacement means a full impact-rated system, not a patch job.
- Arched and custom openings with stock-door workarounds. The Tuscan and Mediterranean homes in PGA National and BallenIsles are full of arched transoms, sidelites, and non-standard rough openings. A stock door shoehorned into an arched opening looks wrong and leaks. We order to the opening, not around it.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Expect a standard impact-rated entry door in Palm Beach Gardens to run $1,800 to $6,500 installed. A French or double door system runs $4,000 to $12,000 depending on size, manufacturer, and HOA-driven customizations. Large custom openings with arched transoms or oversized sidelites can push past $15,000. What moves the price here specifically: the wind zone demands impact certification on every unit, HOA committees can require a single pre-approved manufacturer, and the coastal salt environment means we specify stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes that an inland contractor might skip. A cheaper bid that substitutes inland-spec hardware on a door five miles from the Atlantic will cost you more inside a decade. We quote it on paper, line by line, before you commit. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule your free in-home measure.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Here are the real numbers, based on what we actually install in this city. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages, where you are replacing every window and door in a Palm Beach Gardens home, run $8,000 to $25,000 and up. The factors that move the price: the number of openings, the wind zone (all of Palm Beach Gardens is in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, but floor height and exposure can shift design pressures), the frame material (vinyl versus aluminum versus wood-clad), and whether the opening is standard or requires custom fabrication. Custom glass shapes and arched tops add 4 to 6 weeks and real cost. We measure every opening twice, and the written quote you get is the price you pay. No change orders when the job starts.

Florida Pays You Back
Florida and the federal government put real money behind impact-rated doors and windows, and Palm Beach Gardens homeowners are positioned to claim all of it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can cover 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. 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 premium. We will point you to the programs and document the install correctly. The final numbers come from the state and your carrier, not from us, and we will not promise a credit we cannot put in writing.
One comparison worth making before you spend: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect glass, but only when someone is there to hang them, and they do nothing for the door frame, the seal, or the daily operation of the entry. Impact doors are permanent protection, always on, with no panels in the garage. In a city where evacuation orders mean you may not be home to hang anything, the permanent option is the one that actually protects the house. That is the conversation we have with every Palm Beach Gardens homeowner weighing the two.
The Salt Air Problem: Why Palm Beach Gardens Door Specs Differ
Palm Beach Gardens sits five to seven miles from the Atlantic with the Intracoastal running along its eastern edge. That geography means prevailing breezes carry salt, and salt decides which door hardware fails early. We replace corroded Therma-Tru entry doors on 1990s CBS homes in BallenIsles where the original aluminum frame has pitted from years of Intracoastal salt exposure. The fix is not another aluminum frame with standard hardware. We specify PGT impact-rated doors with Miami-Dade NOA, stainless steel hinges, and a marine-grade powder coat, then walk the HOA packet through before pulling the county permit. On one BallenIsles job, that sequence cleared in six weeks instead of the usual twelve. The price gap between the coastal spec and the inland spec is real, usually $300 to $800 on hardware and finishes alone. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. That is not a sales line. It is what we see on the service calls we run in this city every month.
Palm Beach Gardens is also unique in one specific way no other city in the county shares. A door replacement in PGA National’s eastern section must satisfy the Florida Building Code’s Wind-Borne Debris Region impact requirements and an HOA architectural committee that can name a single pre-approved door manufacturer. Inland cities like Westlake never trigger that combination. In Palm Beach Gardens, it is the default. We handle both approvals in sequence, and we do not order a single unit until both are locked.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians do every job. They measure twice, quote on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is the only way we work. It is why a company founded in 2008 still answers the phone at (888) 635-0804 day or night.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes. PGA National’s architectural review committee must approve your door before Palm Beach County will accept the permit application, and a homeowner who pulls the county permit first can be ordered to remove a non-compliant door at their own expense. We pull HOA approval first, then the county permit, and we do not order the door until both are signed. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will walk your packet through in the right order.
A Florida Product Approval number is the state’s certification that a door or window has been tested and approved for use in Florida’s wind zones, including the Wind-Borne Debris Region that covers all of Palm Beach Gardens. Every impact-rated door we install in this city carries a Florida Product Approval number, and many carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation as well. Your HOA and the county building department will both ask for it. We provide the documentation with your quote and again with your permit packet.
HOA architectural review in BallenIsles, Mirasol, and Frenchman’s Creek routinely adds four to eight weeks to a door replacement. Inland cities with no HOA review can complete the same job in one to two weeks after the unit arrives. We sequence the approvals to run in parallel where possible, and on a recent BallenIsles job the HOA packet and county permit cleared in six weeks instead of the usual twelve. Call (888) 635-0804 to find out what your community’s committee requires.
In most cases, yes. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Palm Beach Gardens homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. The final credit is set by your carrier and the inspection report, not by us, and we will not promise a number we cannot put in writing. We install the door to spec and document the work correctly so the inspection credits you for what is actually there.
It depends on the condition of the existing frame. In the older MacArthur-era sections of Palm Beach Gardens, the 1960s and 1970s aluminum frames are often oxidized and seized at the jamb from salt air, and putting a new slab into a corroded frame is a warranty claim waiting to happen. In those homes we recommend a full frame replacement. On newer CBS homes with square, solid frames, a slab replacement can work. We will inspect the opening and tell you which applies, straight. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free assessment.
