AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hobe Sound
Door installation in Hobe Sound usually costs between $900 and $4,800 depending on whether you’re setting a standard entry door into a sound opening or reframing a salt-corroded jamb on a 1960s CBS ranch. Most jobs here take one to two days once the old frame comes out. We’ve worked the side streets off SE Bridge Road and the US-1 corridor long enough to know that what looks like a simple slab swap on the phone often turns into structural work once the jamb is exposed. If you’re pricing a door in Hobe Sound, call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate. We’ll measure, quote, and tell you exactly what the opening needs before any work starts.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane has been installing doors and windows in Florida since 2008, and Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties left for homeowners to fight alone. We’re not a franchise outfit running a regional playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up in uniform with a background-checked crew that measures every opening twice before a door is ordered.
Hobe Sound homeowners call us because we understand what salt air does to door hardware within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, under The Keystone Standard. That’s not a verbal promise. It’s paper, with durations stated, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise behind it. If the door isn’t right, we make it right. No arguing.
Dispatch for Hobe Sound is coordinated from our South Florida office, and our crews serve this area locally. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You won’t get a voicemail tree when you call about a door that won’t latch or a jamb that’s gone soft from salt moisture.
Our Door Installation Services in Hobe Sound
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry door replacement on Hobe Sound’s CBS ranch homes is the bulk of what we do. The original aluminum jambs from the 1960s through 1980s wick salt moisture behind the stucco, and by the time the door binds in July humidity, the frame underneath is often beyond saving. We pull the old unit, inspect the rough opening, and rebuild the jamb with pressure-treated stock and flashing tape before setting a new door. Standard steel hinge pins and striker plates rust solid within two years on doors facing the Intracoastal, so we specify stainless hardware as standard here, not as an upgrade.
Storm Doors
Storm doors in Hobe Sound take a beating from the salt breeze off Hobe Sound Beach, less than a mile east of the mainland corridor. A cheap aluminum storm door with powder-coated steel hardware will start showing corrosion at the hinge points within 18 to 24 months. We install storm doors with corrosion-resistant frames and stainless hardware, sized to fit the non-standard rough openings common on older ranches. The door has to close tight against wind-driven rain that tracks under the threshold if the sill pan isn’t set right.
Arched & Custom Doors
Some of Hobe Sound’s newer Intracoastal-adjacent homes call for arched entry doors with marine-grade hardware and impact-rated glass. We’ve built and installed custom arched units that match the architectural lines of houses along the water, where standard door slabs look wrong and perform worse. Every custom door is measured twice, quoted with manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and set with a continuous sill pan and flashing tape against the CBS opening so wind-driven rain can’t rot the subfloor.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors on newer Hobe Sound builds and gated-community homes need floor and header hardware that can handle the weight of a large slab without sagging. The salt air here isn’t kind to pivot hinges, especially on doors facing the water. We spec marine-grade pivot systems and set them level the first time, because a pivot door that’s off by a quarter inch will drag and bind within a season. The Keystone Standard applies here the same as everywhere: if the pane isn’t true, the job isn’t done.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, and Marvin. When you sit down with us for a quote, you’ll see those brands side by side on paper, with the warranty durations written out. We don’t steer Hobe Sound homeowners toward one brand because of a spiff. We spec the door that matches the opening, the exposure, and the budget. For coastal homes, corrosion-resistant frames and marine-grade hardware from lines like PGT and CGI often make the most sense. We’ll show you why, in your house, with your measurements in front of you. Our Door Installation team stocks common parts for fast turnaround on standard jobs.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt-corroded jambs on 1960s-1980s CBS ranches. The original aluminum frame turns to white powder behind the stucco, and a new door set into that decayed opening sags and binds within one humid season. Martin County inspectors flag this routinely when the rough opening isn’t reframed first.
- Rusted hinge pins and striker plates on water-facing doors. Standard steel hardware seizes solid within two years on doors within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. When that happens, the door has to be cut out instead of simply unlatched. Stainless hardware is the fix.
- Non-standard jalousie door openings. Many original jalousie door openings in Hobe Sound are 36 inches wide or narrower, which doesn’t meet current code for impact-rated doors without header modification. Contractors from outside Martin County frequently underquote this work because they don’t know the local inspection standards.
- Wind-driven rain under thresholds. Impact-rated doors installed without a continuous sill pan and flashing tape let water track under the threshold and rot the subfloor. We see this on jobs where the door slab was replaced but the opening was never properly sealed.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hobe Sound, FL
A standard entry door replacement in Hobe Sound, with the opening in sound condition, runs $900 to $1,800 including installation. A storm door typically lands between $700 and $1,400. Impact-rated entry doors start around $2,200 and go to $4,800 or more depending on size, glass package, and hardware. Custom arched doors and pivot doors start near $3,500 and can run well past $6,000 for large openings with marine-grade hardware.
The real cost driver in Hobe Sound isn’t the door slab. It’s the rough opening. When the original jamb is salt-soaked and the header needs reframing, add $400 to $1,200 for framing, flashing, and inspection coordination. The cheap spec, a standard steel door with powder-coated hinges, costs less today. It costs more within a decade, because you’ll be cutting it out and starting over. We quote the coastal-spec version because it’s the one that holds. Estimates are free, written, and itemized. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hobe Sound
You can, and it will fit the opening the day it’s installed, but standard steel hinge pins and striker plates rust solid within about two years on any door facing the Intracoastal Waterway. Hobe Sound’s salt air is more aggressive than what you get a few miles inland in Stuart, because the barrier island is less than a mile east and the onshore breeze carries salt straight across the mainland corridor. A cheap steel door with powder-coated hardware becomes a door you have to cut out just to open it. Stainless hardware and a corrosion-resistant frame cost more up front and last decades here. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll show you the price difference on paper, not as a surprise line item.
Maybe, but it won’t be a simple swap. Jalousie openings on Hobe Sound’s older ranches are non-standard rough-opening sizes, and a 36-inch opening is narrower than what Martin County building code requires for most impact-rated doors. The header usually needs structural modification, which means framing work, a permit, and an inspection. This is the most common reason a door job gets underquoted by out-of-county contractors: they price the slab, then the inspector flags the opening, and the homeowner is stuck with a change order. We measure the opening, check the header, and tell you what’s required before we quote. Estimates are free.
Under Martin County’s Florida Building Code mandates, yes. Hobe Sound is in the high-velocity hurricane zone, and the post-Andrew code requirements for 150+ mph design wind loads apply to the entire mainland corridor, not just the beach side. The lee side of the house takes less direct wind, but the code doesn’t distinguish by exposure when it comes to impact-rated openings. We’ll quote what’s code-compliant for your specific opening, and we’ll register the warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
An unreframed rough opening. When the original aluminum jamb on a 1960s CBS ranch is corroded, and the installer sets a new impact door into that decayed frame without reframing and flashing, Martin County inspectors routinely fail the job. The jamb has to be solid, flashed, and properly anchored before the door can be set. We pull the old frame, inspect the opening, and rebuild it with pressure-treated stock, flashing tape, and a continuous sill pan before the new unit goes in. That’s the difference between a job that passes on the first inspection and one that drags out for weeks.
In Hobe Sound, a marine-grade entry door with stainless steel hinges, a corrosion-resistant frame, and a properly flashed opening typically lasts 20 to 30 years. A standard steel door with powder-coated hardware set into an unprepared opening usually starts showing serious corrosion within two to three years, and many are cut out and replaced inside a decade. The price gap is real: marine-grade hardware and framing runs $300 to $800 more up front. Replacing a rusted door and rebuilding a rotted opening runs three to four times that. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote.
