AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Delray Beach
Door installation in Delray Beach runs $950-$4,800 for most residential projects, with entry and swing doors at the lower end and impact-rated sliding doors on the upper end. That range covers the hardware, the frame work, and the labor from a crew that knows the A1A condo towers, the Lake Ida CBS homes, and the Old School Square historic district as well as the streets themselves. If you’re in Delray Beach and the door binds in August, or the frame has swollen shut after forty years of salt air, call (813) 320-9346. We’ll measure twice, quote on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve worked Delray Beach long enough to know that no two jobs on this stretch of coast are alike. A 1960s ranch in Del Ida Park has different framing than a 1980s condo tower on A1A, and the Historic Preservation Board cares about the profile of a front entry door in the Old School Square district in a way most cities don’t. Dale Kessler, who founded TruePane in 2008, still carries the rule he learned from his father: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s why our techs measure every opening twice and why the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not a verbal assurance.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and local. They know how to stage materials on a zero-lot-line street without blocking a neighbor’s driveway, and they know which condo associations require written notice before a sliding glass door replacement on an upper floor. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a Delray Beach homeowner calls about a door that won’t open before a closing date, they talk to a person, not a recording.
Our Door Installation Services in Delray Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors in Delray Beach take a beating. The sun breaks down finishes, and the humidity from two bodies of water swells wood cores and rusts hinges. We install entry and swing doors sized for your existing rough opening, with weatherstripping that holds up to coastal exposure. Whether you’re on a quiet street in Del Ida Park or a gated community off Linton Boulevard, we’ll set the door so it closes square and stays square through hurricane season.
Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Doors
On the A1A condo corridor, the original aluminum sliding glass doors have spent four decades in salt air from the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Many of them won’t open anymore. We replace them with impact-rated units engineered for the 170+ mph design pressures Palm Beach County requires on coastal lots. The right door here isn’t an aesthetic choice. It’s what keeps the building insurable.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors in Delray Beach are popular for patio access and interior transitions, but they fail faster here than inland. Salt in the air attacks the rollers, the hinges, and the finish. We install double doors with marine-grade hardware where it matters, and we shim and seal every joint so the doors don’t sag or stick when the house settles. If you’re in a stucco CBS home near Atlantic Avenue, we’ll match the door to the existing frame without tearing out more than necessary.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding doors open up a Delray Beach living room to the pool deck or the Intracoastal breeze. They also weigh a lot and demand a level floor and a straight header. Our crews have installed folding door systems on tight lots where the staging area was a narrow easement and the dumpster had to be wheeled in by hand. We plan the site work before we start, so the job stays clean and the neighbors stay tolerant.
Storm Doors
Storm doors protect your entry door from the salt spray and the summer downpours, and in Delray Beach they’re a practical upgrade, not a cosmetic one. We install storm doors with corrosion-resistant frames and closers that don’t seize up after a season of sea air. It’s a smaller job, usually done in one visit, and it extends the life of the door behind it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. For Delray Beach work, we regularly install PGT and CGI impact-rated doors because they’re engineered specifically for Florida wind-load zones. We also work with Simonton, Ply Gem, Andersen, Pella, and Marvin. Stocking local parts for Delray Beach customers means we don’t wait on a ship date from Ohio when a hinge or a roller needs replacing. It’s in a bin on a truck that’s already in the county.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Swollen, oxidized aluminum sliding doors on A1A condos. After 40 years of dual salt-air exposure from the ocean and the Intracoastal, the original frames have corroded to the point where they won’t slide. We see this most often when a unit goes under contract and a home inspector flags the door as non-compliant with current impact ratings.
- Historic district door profile conflicts. In the Old School Square Historic District, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board must approve replacement door profiles and materials. A contractor who skips the application risks a stop-work order and a fine. We file the paperwork first.
- Zero-lot-line staging and access issues. Many Delray Beach home sites are narrow, with homes built close to property lines. Loud sub-sill demo before 8 a.m. draws noise complaints and code enforcement visits. We schedule the noisy work after 8 and stage materials where they don’t block a neighbor’s driveway.
- Salt-corrosion on standard hardware. A door installed with standard aluminum framing in coastal Delray Beach will seize its rollers and lose its finish within a decade. We use marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant frames on every exterior door within a mile of the water.
Pricing for Door Installation in Delray Beach, FL
A standard entry door replacement in Delray Beach typically runs $950-$1,850. Double French doors run $2,200-$4,200. Impact-rated sliding glass doors run $2,800-$4,800, depending on the size of the opening and the wind-load rating required. Storm doors run $450-$900 installed. What changes the price is the access. A ground-floor ranch in Lake Ida with a wide driveway is a simpler job than a 12th-floor condo where the crew has to wheel materials through a service elevator and the dumpster needs to be staged on a narrow easement. Historic district approvals add paperwork time but not hidden fees. We quote the total before we start, and we don’t send a change order because the framing was worse than expected. We already measured it. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Delray Beach
Yes. Any door profile change on a contributing structure in the Old School Square Historic District requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board before work starts. We prepare the application, include the manufacturer specifications and profile drawings, and wait for approval before we open the wall. Call (813) 320-9346 if you want us to handle the filing for you.
Coastal Delray Beach is in a wind zone requiring products engineered for 170+ mph design pressures under Palm Beach County’s adopted wind-speed maps. Non-impact doors are effectively non-starters for permitted exterior work. We quote impact-rated doors, typically PGT or CGI, matched to the exact wind-load rating for your specific address. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll look up your property’s zone while you’re on the phone.
No. A1A condo towers require written notice to the association before any exterior door replacement, and many buildings have specific hours for construction debris removal and service elevator use. We coordinate with the association management as part of the site plan, so the work doesn’t stop halfway because a board member pulls up in the parking lot. Call (813) 320-9346 for an estimate that accounts for the building’s rules.
We walk the site before we quote, and we plan the staging. On zero-lot-line streets, that means wheeled carts instead of pallets on the curb, a dumpster staged on the narrow easement where it legally fits, and no loud demo before 8 a.m. We stage materials in the driveway or on the side yard, never in the public right-of-way. Call (813) 320-9346 and ask us to walk your property before you sign anything.
On the A1A corridor, a sliding door that won’t open is almost always a replacement, not a repair. The frames have oxidized from four decades of salt air, the EPDM seals have crumbled, and the track has warped past adjustment. Repair attempts on a door in that condition typically fail within a year. We’ll confirm it on site, but expect to replace the door with an impact-rated unit. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free assessment.
