AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Wellington
Door installation in Wellington typically runs $1,800-$6,500 for a standard exterior replacement, with Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington starting around $3,200 and custom estate doors running $8,000-$25,000 or more. Most standard swaps take one day; permit-triggered reframing on older homes adds a second visit. We serve every village subdivision, from Olympia to Palm Beach Polo, and a live person answers when you call (813) 320-9346.
TruePane has walked enough Wellington door openings to know what’s behind them before the jamb comes off. That matters here more than in most places. The village built out fast between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, and a lot of what went in then is now failing in predictable ways. We plan for it, price it in writing, and do not hand you a surprise change order after the wall is open.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We have pulled enough corroded aluminum sliders out of Binks Forest and Olympia homes to know Wellington’s failure patterns by subdivision. On a 1980s CBS-block house in Binks Forest, our crew removed a sliding door that had fogged between the glass, only to find the original jamb had rotted where the pan flashing was never tied into the slab. We reframed that opening, set a new impact-rated Jeld-Wen French door with a fusion-welded frame and flashing tape, and wrote the change order for the rotted subfloor before touching it. The homeowner approved it in writing the same day. That is how we work: inspection first, allowance written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved before we pick up a saw.
Wellington homeowners tend to be the type who read the fine print. We respect that. Every quote is itemized on paper, side by side across manufacturer lines, so you see exactly what you are buying. Dale Kessler’s rule hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hold to it on a $600 storm door in Wellingtons Edge and a $20,000 pivot entry on Mallet Hill the same way.
We also understand Wellington’s permitting realities. Palm Beach County sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so your doors need Florida Product Approval but not Miami-Dade NOA certification. That spec distinction saves real money on impact-rated entry systems when the contractor knows it. Ours do, and they write the spec correctly instead of upcharging for a Miami-Dade product you do not need.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither.

Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Wellington entry doors come down to one question: impact or non-impact. If your home is in a wind-borne debris region, and virtually all of Wellington is, the answer is impact-rated. We install steel, fiberglass, and wood entry systems with Florida Product Approval, properly flashed to Wellington slab-on-grade construction. A standard 36-inch fiberglass impact entry with side lites runs $3,200-$5,800 installed, depending on glass package and hardware.
Double & French Doors
Sliding & Patio Doors - Wellington and French doors are common across planned communities, but the originals on 1980s homes were often set with no pan flashing tie-in at the threshold. When that fails, you get rot at the subfloor and a door that binds in summer humidity. We reframe and reset with fusion-welded frames and flashing tape tied into the slab. Impact-rated French door replacement in Wellington runs $4,500-$9,000 for a standard 6-foot opening, more if reframing is required.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are increasingly common on Wellington’s larger homes, particularly in the equestrian estate sector. These systems are heavy, and the header work matters more than the panel itself. On a CBS-block home, a folding door retrofit often requires structural header modification because the original rough opening was sized for a slider, not a full folding stack. Budget $8,000-$18,000 for impact-rated multi-panel folding doors in Wellington, depending on panel count and header scope.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a signature feature on Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill properties. They are also unforgiving to install. A pivot hinge system moves the door’s entire load to the top and bottom pivot points, so the header and floor block need to be dead level and reinforced. We set oversized pivot entries with steel-reinforced headers and adjustable bottom pivots built for Florida humidity. Custom pivot door systems in Wellington start around $9,000 and run to $30,000+ on estate projects with sidelites and transoms.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and the brands we recommend most for Wellington homes are Pgt in Wellington, CGI, and Simonton. PGT and CGI produce impact-rated products tuned for Florida’s wind-borne debris region, and they hold up to Wellington’s UV exposure and afternoon convective storms. Simonton is a solid mid-range line we use on tighter budgets where impact rating is still required. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves. We also keep common parts and hardware in local stock for faster turnaround on Wellington service calls.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames on original sliders. Homes in Olympia, Binks Forest, and similar 1980s tracts got aluminum-frame sliding doors that pit and oxidize in Wellington humidity. The sashes bind, the tracks wear, and the door no longer seals against wind-driven rain. Replacement, not repair, is usually the right call.
- Undersized rough openings from 1980s tract construction. Original door openings were sized for narrow aluminum frames. When you upgrade to an impact-rated system with a beefed-up frame, the rough opening often needs cutting into the load-bearing CBS header. That triggers a structural permit review. We flag this before we cut, and the allowance is already written into your contract.
- Failed threshold waterproofing on slab-on-grade homes. Many Wellington homes have stucco weep systems from the original build that were never integrated with door pan flashing. Water wicks under the threshold, rots the subfloor, and the rot hides until the jamb is pulled. Our written change-order process means you approve the fix before we touch the rotted framing.
- Fogged glass in 1990s dual-pane units. High humidity and years of thermal cycling break down the seals in original dual-pane door glass. In some cases the glass can be swapped into the existing frame; in others the frame corrosion dictates a full replacement. We will tell you which one applies to your door, and quote the cheaper fix when it is legitimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Wellington
Yes. Wellington sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code, and distance from the coast does not exempt you. Every replacement exterior door must carry valid Florida Product Approval. If you have an older non-impact door and your insurance carrier is reviewing your policy, a non-impact door is increasingly likely to trigger a non-renewal notice. Energy-Efficient Windows in Wellington and impact-rated replacement protects the home and keeps your insurance position cleaner. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate and we will spec the correct rating for your exact opening.
Florida Product Approval means the product is tested and approved for use anywhere in Florida, including the wind-borne debris region. Miami-Dade NOA is a stricter certification required only in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Wellington is in Palm Beach County, outside the HVHZ, so your doors need Florida Product Approval but not the Miami-Dade NOA certification. A contractor who reflexively specs Miami-Dade-rated product on every Wellington estimate is adding cost you do not need. We spec correctly, which saves money on impact-rated entries.
It depends on two things: the condition of the frame and whether the glass package is still available. In many Wellington homes, the aluminum frames have pitted and oxidized enough that the tracks are compromised, and replacing the glass into a failing frame is throwing good money after bad. If the frame is sound and the panel size is still supported, a glass swap is the cheaper fix. We will inspect the frame and quote both options honestly. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free assessment.
At minimum, an exterior door replacement requires a building permit in Wellington, and the work must be inspected for code compliance. If the existing rough opening is undersized for the new impact-rated frame, which is common on 1980s tract homes, the opening must be cut into the load-bearing CBS header. That triggers a structural review and sometimes an engineering sign-off. We handle the permit application, coordinate the inspection, and the inspector sees a job done to code. Permit fees run $150-$400 depending on scope.
Yes, mostly in scale and structural load. Equestrian estates like Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill typically have oversized openings that demand engineered headers and heavier pivot or hinge hardware. Custom arched entries, carriage-house doors, and large-panel glass walls all need Florida Product Approval even at luxury scale. We measure, engineer, and spec these systems to the estate’s exact opening, and because we are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and other Florida-focused lines, we can quote impact-rated custom work that many contractors in neighboring suburban markets rarely handle at this volume.
