AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Plantation
Door installation in Plantation costs between $1,800 and $6,500 for most entry and storm door replacements, with impact-rated units running higher because of Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That is the honest range, and we will put it in writing before any work begins. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed, replaced, and serviced doors across Plantation for years, and our crews know exactly what inspectors in this city will flag, what HOAs will approve, and what the salt-laden humidity does to builder-grade hardware. Call (813) 320-9346 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, not a voicemail tree.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Plantation’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Plantation homeowners call us because we do not treat a door swap as a simple product exchange. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters in a city where a poorly set door frame means air leaks, failed inspections, and a second full replacement down the line. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying before you commit.
We have earned a strong local reputation in Plantation for one reason above all: we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is not a marketing phrase. It is a practice. Every job also carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not correct, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither.
Homeowners in Plantation Gardens, Jacaranda, and the HOA-governed developments around Central Park and Volunteer Park reach us fast because our scheduling is coordinated from the South Florida office, and crews serve Plantation locally. When you call, a live person answers. You will not wait on a callback form. You will get a square deal, a written quote, and a crew that shows up when we say.
Our Door Installation Services in Plantation
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Plantation entry doors are single or double swing units on CBS ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1980s, and many still have original hardware that has corroded under decades of salt-laden humidity. We replace full frames and slabs, re-set jambs that have rotted or shifted, and install impact-rated entry doors that carry the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval required for permitted work in Plantation. A new swing door in Plantation typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on the manufacturer line and whether the frame needs full replacement.
Storm Doors
Storm doors are a practical choice on Plantation’s older concrete-block homes, where the primary entry door takes direct Atlantic-corridor weather and afternoon UV. We install storm doors that fit the original jamb dimensions common on 1960s and 1970s ranch construction, and we quote options that match HOA-approved finishes where that applies. Expect $700 to $2,400 for a quality storm door installed, with impact-rated glass pushing toward the upper end.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors are common on Plantation homes that open onto patios, pools, and garden areas, especially in the Jacaranda and newer master-planned sections. The failure point we see most often is the weatherstripping: builder-grade seals break down within three to five years under Broward’s salt-laden humidity, and the owner does not realize the door is leaking air until cooling bills climb. We replace those seals, re-hang sagging panels, and install full-frame impact-rated French doors that pass inspection the first time. Budget $2,800 to $6,500 for a double door replacement in Plantation, with custom sizing and HVHZ-rated glazing accounting for most of the spread.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding doors are increasingly common in Plantation homes where owners want a wide opening to outdoor living space without the swing clearance a double French unit requires. We handle track alignment, panel replacement, and full installs. If the opening is on a load-bearing wall, the permit conversation is different, and we coordinate that with the structural review Plantation requires. A bifold door install in Plantation generally starts around $3,200 and can reach $8,000 or more for multi-panel impact-rated systems.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a statement entry on newer Plantation construction and on custom renovations throughout the city. They are heavier than a standard swing door, which means the frame, hinges, and floor pivot all need to be set to a tolerance most handymen will not hit. Our Door Installation team has set pivot doors on Plantation homes where the slab had settled slightly, and we adjust the pivot geometry to keep the door swinging true rather than binding in July humidity. Pivot door installs in Plantation run $3,500 to $9,000 depending on door weight, size, and finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Plantation work we regularly quote Simonton, PGT, and CGI because those lines carry the Florida Product Approvals and Miami-Dade NOAs that Broward County inspectors expect to see. We stock common parts and hardware for these lines locally, which shortens turnaround when a latch or hinge fails. When we quote, we put the manufacturer lines on paper side by side, so you can see the cost difference and the warranty difference between, say, a Simonton entry system and a PGT impact-rated unit. No surprise substitutions, no vague line items.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames and rotted jambs on 1960s-1980s CBS ranches. The original aluminum door frames on Plantation’s older concrete-block homes were never designed for decades of salt-laden humidity. We regularly pull frames where the jamb has rotted so badly the deadbolt no longer seats into the strike plate.
- Builder-grade weatherstripping that fails in 3 to 5 years. Newer master-planned sections of Plantation have entry doors with factory seals that break down fast under Broward’s humidity and UV. The door still looks fine, but the energy bill tells the truth.
- HOA architectural review rejections after the door is installed. We see this too often: a homeowner in a Plantation HOA development swaps an entry door without submitting the style and color for architectural review, and the HOA requires removal because it does not match the approved palette. We help our customers get approvals before purchasing.
- Unpermitted non-impact doors that fail resale inspection. A door replaced during an unpermitted handyman job with a non-impact unit means the entire opening fails a later resale inspection in Plantation. That forces a second full replacement, which is a double-cost mistake no one should make twice.

FAQs - Door Installation in Plantation
Yes. Plantation sits in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and any permitted door replacement, including a slab-only swap, must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for impact-rated glazing. If the opening is being permitted, the inspector will check for that documentation. If the work is not permitted, you still have a door that fails code and will cost you a second replacement at resale. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will tell you exactly what your opening requires before you spend a dollar.
Submit the door style, material, and finish to your HOA’s architectural review committee before you order anything. Plantation HOA-governed developments typically require a written approval with the approved palette and style range documented. We help our customers with this process because we have seen too many doors removed after install. Our team will provide the spec sheet and finish samples the HOA wants to see.
A builder-grade door uses a thin-gauge metal or hollow core, factory weatherstripping that fails in three to five years under Plantation’s salt-laden humidity, and hardware that corrodes quickly. An upgraded door uses a heavier-gauge frame, an impact-rated core that carries a Florida Product Approval, and weatherstripping rated for coastal humidity. The price difference on paper is usually $800 to $2,000 per opening, but the builder-grade door will cost more over ten years because you will replace seals, hardware, and eventually the whole unit. Call (813) 320-9346 for a side-by-side quote on both.
Because Plantation’s Housing stock still includes thousands of 1960s and 1970s homes with jalousie windows, and those louvered glass units are explicitly prohibited under HVHZ code for any permitted scope of work. When you pull a permit for a door replacement, the inspector may flag jalousie windows on the same elevation as a mandatory code violation that must be corrected. Our crews have seen this happen in Plantation Gardens, and we quote the full package so you clear inspection in one permit cycle instead of two. We will not let the permit trigger a surprise; we will tell you before we file.
Sometimes, but only if the frame is structurally sound, square, and free of corrosion or rot. On Plantation’s older CBS ranch homes, we typically find the jamb has shifted or rotted behind the hinge points, which means a slab-only swap would bind or leak. We measure the frame before quoting anything. If the frame is good, we will say so. If it is not, we will show you the rot or the corrosion and let you make the call with the fix in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will measure your opening for free.
