AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach usually means working on a tight CBS lot, often in a historic district, sometimes with salt air already eating at the hardware. A straightforward entry door replacement in West Palm Beach generally runs $1,200-$3,400 installed, and a hurricane-rated front entry door typically lands between $2,500 and $5,500 depending on the opening size, frame condition, and whether the property sits in a designated historic district. Our crews work these streets every week, and a live person answers at (888) 635-0804 whenever you call. We schedule a free in-home measure, put the numbers on paper, and don’t start until you’ve seen exactly what you’re buying.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and we’ve spent the years since doing one thing: installing windows and doors the way a tradesperson would want them installed in their own home. West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we know the difference between a Flamingo Park original and a 1990s western subdivision stucco front, and we quote accordingly. We don’t sell from a catalog and hope the opening matches.
Every tech who walks onto a West Palm Beach job is background-checked and uniformed. We measure every opening twice, write the quote on paper side by side with manufacturer options, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job we do. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. No arguing, no fine print.
West Palm Beach customers get the same thing as everyone else we serve: a company that’s been rooted in Florida communities since 2008, that hires local, trains apprentices into journeymen, and plans to be here in thirty years. We’re not a franchise playbook and we don’t act like one.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
We install, replace, and service doors across West Palm Beach, from the 33401 core out to the western subdivisions in 33411 and 33413. Our Door Installation team handles everything from a single entry door to a whole-home package, and we quote every line item before work begins.
Entry Doors
A new entry door in West Palm Beach has to do more than look right. It has to stand up to 140-150 mph design wind speeds, salt air off Lake Worth Lagoon, and afternoon sun that bakes west-facing facades in the summer. We install Therma-Tru and PGT entry doors with proper flashing, sealed sills, and hardware that won’t bind in July. Most entry door replacements are done in a single visit once the unit arrives.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
West Palm Beach sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means impact doors here require Florida Product Approval rather than the stricter Miami-Dade NOA. That’s not a downgrade. It’s a different set of paperwork, and we file it correctly the first time. For homes in El Cid or Flamingo Park, we also coordinate the Certificate of Appropriateness with the Historic Preservation Board before the door is ordered. One missed filing can stop a job cold for weeks, and we don’t let that happen.
French & Double Doors
French doors are common on West Palm Beach homes with patios, pools, and lanai access, and they’re also one of the most common failure points when original aluminum frames have corroded for forty years. We replace French and double doors with PGT and ViewLux units sized to the actual opening, not the nominal one. On older CBS homes, that often means a buck-and-anchor installation because the original masonry opening is rarely square after decades of settling and salt exposure.
Replacement Doors
If your West Palm Beach home still has a single-pane aluminum slider or a jalousie door from the 1960s, it’s past time. Replacement doors in West Palm Beach must meet current impact-resistance requirements when the permit is pulled. We stock or order Florida Product Approved units for the openings we work, and we walk you through the wind-mitigation inspection credits that come with the job under Florida Statute 627.0629.
Storm & Exterior Doors
A storm door in West Palm Beach isn’t decoration. It’s the first line against wind-driven rain in the summer and the salt spray that works its way inland from the Intracoastal. We install storm and exterior doors with corrosion-resistant hardware and sealed frames that keep water out. If the old frame shows oxidation, we address it before the new door goes in, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on West Palm Beach jobs we most often quote PGT and Therma-Tru side by side with Mr-Glass where the opening calls for it. That means you see the real numbers for each option on paper before you commit. We keep common parts and hardware on hand for West Palm Beach service calls, which helps when a latch fails on a rental property on the north side or a hinge binds on a door facing Olive Avenue. We service what we install, and we stand behind it.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded frames on original CBS openings. Salt air from Lake Worth Lagoon reaches well past Flagler Drive. Forty-year-old aluminum door frames in Flamingo Park, SoSo, and the 33405 corridor are often oxidized enough that the frame fails a large-missile rating test during wind mitigation inspection.
- Stop-work orders from missed Certificates of Appropriateness. In Historic Preservation Board districts, installing even a fully code-compliant impact door without the city’s sign-off triggers a stop-work order and mandatory re-review. That adds weeks and costs money.
- Miami-Dade NOA products rejected at permit. West Palm Beach requires Florida Product Approval. Some contractors quote Miami-Dade units because they’re easier to source, and the city bounces the permit. We file the right approval the first time.
- Aging first-generation impact doors in western subdivisions. The 1990s and 2000s tract homes in 33411, 33412, and 33413 are now seeing failed seals and fogged glass on their original impact doors. These are replacement jobs, not repairs, and they’re a big part of what we do in West Palm Beach.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
A standard entry door replacement in West Palm Beach runs $1,200-$3,400. A hurricane-rated front entry door is typically $2,500-$5,500. French and double door replacements land in the $3,000-$7,000 range depending on opening width and frame condition, and a full replacement package for a whole home can run anywhere from $8,000 to $25,000 or more when you’re doing every opening at once. Salt corrosion on the original frame, historic-district paperwork, and site access all move the number. We give you a written line-item quote after a free in-home measure. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll come out and price it properly. No change orders, no surprise line items.
What Door Installation Costs in West Palm Beach
Every quote in West Palm Beach starts with the opening count, the wind zone, and the frame’s condition. An impact-rated door for a single opening generally runs $800-$1,500 for the unit alone, with installation pushing the total up. A single-hung impact unit is $900-$1,800 installed. Large or custom openings, like a double French door on a pool-facing wall, run $2,500-$5,000 each. Whole-home packages across a typical three-bedroom CBS start at $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 when you’re replacing every door and window opening at once. The price moves with frame material, floor height, and whether the opening needs a buck-and-anchor rebuild. We measure free, quote on paper, and never start work until you’ve approved the numbers. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship, and both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave the driveway.
Working a Tight West Palm Beach Lot
Most West Palm Beach door jobs are not on wide open suburban lots. They’re on 50-foot lots in Flamingo Park, parking on the street in SoSo, or working behind a walled courtyard in El Cid where the neighbors are ten feet away and the sidewalk is public. A door install on a lot like that is a logistics job as much as a carpentry job. We stage everything in the driveway or the street right-of-way with the proper permits and keep the work zone contained with vacuum-attached debris barriers. Our crews follow the city’s noise and work-hour ordinances, and when a wall is shared, we give notice before we start cutting into a buck.
Access affects the quote. If the door is in a rear lanai with no exterior gate wider than 28 inches, we carry the unit through the house with floor protection laid down. If the opening is on an upper floor, that’s hoist time or a shoulder-carry up a tight stairwell. We price that reality, not a fantasy of empty space and easy access. On a narrow lot in Flamingo Park, we replaced a corroded original jalousie door with a PGT impact-rated French door using a buck-and-anchor installation. Our crew coordinated staging entirely within the driveway, used vacuum-attached debris containment, and filed the Certificate of Appropriateness seven weeks before the install so the muntin profile stayed true to the 1940s CBS original. The homeowner passed wind mitigation inspection and now qualifies for insurance credits under Florida Statute 627.0629.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive stack is real, and West Palm Beach homeowners should know what’s on the table. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors. The state sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. A federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, for qualifying efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75-$150, many carriers cut the windstorm premium by around 25%. We don’t guarantee the final numbers, because programs and insurance carriers set those. We do tell you what’s available and how the paperwork lines up.
One comparison is worth stating plainly: impact doors provide permanent protection. No panels to haul out of a shed, no tracks to clear in the dark, no decision to make as a storm turns. For a homeowner planning to stay in West Palm Beach for another twenty years, that’s the difference that matters.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Yes. If your property falls within a designated historic district in West Palm Beach, including Flamingo Park or El Cid, you must get a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Board before installing a new door, even a fully code-compliant impact unit. The Board reviews the door’s profile and muntin pattern as seen from the street. The process typically adds three to six weeks to the timeline, and we start it before the door is ordered. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll check your address against the district map at the free measure.
West Palm Beach falls outside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the city requires Florida Product Approval rather than a Miami-Dade NOA. A permit application citing an NOA-only product will be rejected during review. It’s a paperwork distinction, but it’s one that stops jobs cold if it’s missed. We file the correct approval with every West Palm Beach permit.
Salt-laden air from Lake Worth Lagoon accelerates frame oxidation, hardware corrosion, and sill rot, and it reaches well inland from the waterfront. In the 33405 corridor around South Dixie Highway, original aluminum frames are often corroded enough to fail a wind-mitigation inspection. We inspect the existing frame before quoting, and if it’s compromised, we build the new opening properly rather than mounting a good door into a bad buck.
A buck-and-anchor installation sets a treated wood buck into the original masonry opening, then anchors the new door into that buck. It’s common in West Palm Beach because the dominant housing stock is CBS construction from the 1940s through the 1980s, and those original openings are rarely square after decades of settling and salt exposure. The buck gives you a true, square, structurally sound frame for the new door, and it’s the correct fix for openings where the masonry has deteriorated.
No. Any door replacement that touches the building envelope in West Palm Beach requires a permit, and the replacement unit must be Florida Product Approved. The 1990s and 2000s tract homes in western ZIPs like 33411 and 33413 are now seeing failed seals on their original impact doors, and those replacements go through the same permit process as any other door in the city. We pull the permits, file the approvals, and close out the inspection. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact quote, and we’ll start with a free in-home measure.
