TruePane Windows & Doors handles the whole job, from pulling the old corroded unit to reframing the opening to registering both warranty layers before our truck leaves your driveway.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Jupiter Inlet Colony’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been doing this work long enough to know that Jupiter Inlet Colony does not forgive shortcuts. The town sits on a sliver of land with the Atlantic on one side and the tidal inlet on the other, and every door we hang there gets judged by the same salt spray that ate the last one. Our crews have pulled more corroded aluminum sliders and rotted jambs out of mid-century homes on Lighthouse Drive, Beach Road, and Colony Road than we can count, and we know what’s behind those walls before the first screw comes out.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means every opening gets measured twice, every quote shows the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and every warranty gets registered in writing before we leave. Jupiter Inlet Colony homeowners tell us they chose us because we answered the phone on the first ring and because our uniformed, background-checked technicians showed up when we said they would. The 90-Day Done Right Promise stands behind every installation, and we do not argue about it.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and dispatch for Jupiter Inlet Colony is coordinated from our South Florida metro office. When a door binds in July or a latch stops catching on a coastal night, we know where you are and how to get there.
Our Door Installation Services in Jupiter Inlet Colony
Entry & Swing Doors
Front entry doors in Jupiter Inlet Colony take a beating from driven salt air, and the failure usually starts where the threshold meets the jamb. We install fiberglass and steel entry systems with impact-rated glazing and stainless or marine-grade hardware, replacing rusted hinges and corroded strike plates as a standard part of the job, not an add-on. A new entry door here typically runs between $2,400 and $5,800, installed.
Double & French Doors
French doors are popular in Jupiter Inlet Colony because they open onto patios and pool decks, but the original aluminum units from the 1960s and 1970s are delaminating and leaking. Our Door Installation team frames the opening to true dimension, sets a fusion-welded impact-rated unit, and flashes the sill so multidirectional salt spray cannot find a way under the threshold. Expect to invest between $6,500 and $14,000 for a quality double French door system here.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Newer luxury rebuilds in Jupiter Inlet Colony often call for bifold or folding door systems that open an entire wall to the inlet or ocean side. These require precise header engineering because the openings are wide and the wind load is real. We quote Andersen and ES Windows lines side by side so you see exactly what the aluminum gauge, glass package, and hardware finish add to the price. A typical bifold installation in Jupiter Inlet Colony runs between $12,000 and $25,000 depending on panel count and width.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door gives a Jupiter Inlet Colony entry real presence, and we install them on a steel pivot hinge system rated for the weight of the slab, not a cheap floor closer that fails in salt air. Custom sizing and impact glazing push these toward the top of the range, but the result is a door that opens smoothly for decades. Budget between $5,500 and $15,000 for a pivot door here, with the higher end reserved for oversized slabs and full custom glass.

Trusted Brands We Service in Jupiter Inlet Colony
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Jupiter Inlet Colony we find ourselves quoting Andersen, ES Windows most often because their impact-rated packages hold up to the inlet’s salt spray. When we quote a door, you get the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with the warranty durations stated in writing. That is the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Jupiter Inlet Colony. We also keep the hardware, rollers, and weatherstripping our local customers need on the truck, because a return trip from the metro office eats your afternoon and ours.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Jupiter Inlet Colony Homes
- Corroded jamb framing behind original aluminum sliders. Once the door is pulled, we routinely find the jamb oxidized behind the flashing tape and rot already spread into the subfloor. The opening has to be reframed before a new impact-rated unit can be set, which is why we write framing allowances into every Jupiter Inlet Colony contract.
- Failed waterproofing at the sill. Decades of multidirectional salt spray force water under the threshold, and the damage is only visible when the old door comes out. We flash and seal every new sill as if it faces the ocean, because in this town, west-facing doors corrode nearly as fast as oceanfront ones.
- Impact-rated retrofits triggering code upgrades. When walls are opened on an older home, a permit often triggers requirements for structural strapping or wiring upgrades. We inspect before we quote and build a written allowance into the contract so the price does not move without your approval.
- Fogged panels from seal failure. In Jupiter Inlet Colony, seal failure is not a cosmetic issue. The constant airborne salt works into failed seals and accelerates desiccant breakdown. When a panel fogs, the glass unit needs replacing, and often the frame is too far gone to save.

Bifold systems run $12,000 to $25,000, and pivot doors run $5,500 to $15,000. The specific number depends on panel count, glass package, and what we find when the old door comes out.

FAQs - Door Installation in Jupiter Inlet Colony
Jupiter Inlet Colony is so narrow that every home sits within a few hundred feet of either the Atlantic or the active tidal inlet channel. The inlet’s constant tidal flushing keeps airborne salt concentration elevated during calm weather too, and west-facing doors get the same salt load from the inlet channel that oceanfront doors get from the Atlantic. That is a pattern unique to this geography, and it is why we treat every door here as a marine install regardless of which way it faces. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free estimate.
We reframe the opening before we set the new door, and the cost is covered by a written allowance in your contract. On Lighthouse Drive, our crew pulled a corroded original aluminum sliding glass door from a 1960s mid-century home and found the jamb completely oxidized behind the flashing tape, with rot already spreading into the subfloor. We reframed the opening, installed a fusion-welded impact-rated Andersen French door with low-E argon-filled glass, and wrote the added framing allowance into the contract before the first cut, so the owner never saw an unapproved change order.
Yes. Jupiter Inlet Colony is a single barrier strip with no sheltered interior, and Palm Beach County high-wind codes apply to every door in the town. Beyond code, the smart reason to use impact-rated glass everywhere is the salt spray, which causes seal failure and frame oxidation faster here than in communities a few miles inland in the broader Jupiter area. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote on your door opening.
Usually the glass unit needs replacing, but the frame likely needs a hard look too. In Jupiter Inlet Colony, the same salt air that failed the seal has often been working on the aluminum frame at the same time. We will tell you if the frame can be saved or if the whole unit should come out, and either way you get a written quote before any work starts.
Yes, but it almost always means reframing the header and often upgrading the structural strapping to current code. Mid-century homes here were not framed for the wide openings that bifold and pivot systems need. We inspect the structure first, price the reframing as a written allowance, and install the door only after the opening is true. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will come out, measure, and give you the numbers on paper.
