AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach costs $1,200-$4,800 for a standard entry door replacement and $3,500-$12,000 for a Florida Product Approval-rated impact door, depending on the opening condition and whether you’re in a Historic Preservation District. Most jobs take one to two days once the door is on site. If you’re calling from Flamingo Park, El Cid, or Old Northwood, there’s an extra layer of review that changes the timeline and the product list; we’ll walk you through it before you spend a dime.
TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing Door Installation in West Palm Beach long enough to know what the county wind-load code requires and what the Historic Preservation Board will reject. We’re not the cheapest bid. We’re the crew that measures twice, pulls the right permit, and registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate. A live person answers.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
West Palm Beach homeowners don’t call us because they saw a billboard. They call because a neighbor on El Cid or a cousin in Grandview Heights told them we showed up when we said we would, fixed the problem, and answered the phone six months later when a hinge started squeaking.
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 applies to doors as much as glass. We hire local technicians, train apprentices into journeymen, and treat your house the way we’d treat our own mother’s. Background-checked, uniformed, and on time.
Our West Palm Beach customers get the same thing every customer gets: a written line-item quote, both manufacturer warranty layers registered with durations stated, our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree. No callback form. You call, we answer.
We know the difference between a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home in El Cid and a 1972 CBS ranch off Belvedere Road. That matters when you’re choosing a door that has to stand up to Palm Beach County’s ~140 mph design wind speed without the Historic Preservation Board rejecting it outright.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Here are the doors we install most often across West Palm Beach, from the historic districts to the mid-century blocks west of I-95.
Entry & Swing Doors
A front entry door in West Palm Beach does two jobs at once: it’s the first thing a visitor sees, and it’s the first line of defense against a summer storm. In the CBS ranch homes that dominate Grandview Heights and Kenilworth, we frequently replace corroded aluminum entry doors with Florida Product Approval-rated impact units. The frame gets tied to the concrete block, the weatherstripping gets upgraded, and the door actually closes square in July when the humidity makes everything swell.
Storm Doors
Storm doors in West Palm Beach aren’t a luxury; they’re a second layer against wind-driven rain and the salt air that eats hardware along the Intracoastal Waterway. We install storm doors with powder-coated frames and stainless hardware so the sweep doesn’t delaminate after two seasons. If your existing storm door binds or lets water pool at the threshold, the jamb is usually the problem, not the door.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched openings show up in West Palm Beach’s 1920s and 1930s homes, often with a radius that stock doors simply don’t match. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, we’ve replaced arched front doors with custom units that replicate the original profile closely enough to satisfy the Historic Preservation Board. We bring muntin samples and elevation drawings to the pre-application meeting before we quote, because that’s how you avoid a stop-work order.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are heavy, and they require a frame that can carry the load without sagging. In newer builds and renovations along Flagler Drive and the waterfront, we set pivot doors with reinforced jambs and heavy-duty pivot hardware rated for the door’s full weight. Salt air is rough on pivot bearings; we spec corrosion-resistant components so the door doesn’t start grinding a year in.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, and Marvin. That means we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. For West Palm Beach customers, we keep local stock on common replacement parts, and we source doors from Florida Product Approval-rated lines that meet Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements without forcing you into products the Historic Preservation Board won’t accept.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt corrosion on hardware and thresholds. The Intracoastal Waterway puts salt-laden air over half the city, and anodized aluminum that looks fine in Lake Worth Beach will pit and flake within two years on the east side of West Palm Beach. We spec powder-coated frames and marine-grade stainless hardware for anything within a mile of the water.
- Frames not tied to concrete block. A 1950s or 1960s CBS ranch with original jalousie doors usually has a wood buck that was never anchored to the masonry. We’ve seen impact doors fail not because the door gave way, but because the jamb pulled out of the wall during a storm. Reinforcing the opening is part of the job, not a surprise add-on.
- Historic Preservation Board rejections. In Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Old Northwood, a stock impact door with the wrong muntin profile or sightline gets rejected before installation. Contractors who skip the pre-application meeting eat the cost and the delay. We schedule that meeting before quoting so you never face a stop-work order.
- Threshold failure and water intrusion into the slab. When the sweep fails or the threshold corrodes, water works its way into the concrete slab and you don’t notice until the tile starts lifting. We inspect the threshold and sill pan on every door replacement, and we won’t install a new door over a failing pan.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
A standard entry door replacement in West Palm Beach runs $1,200-$2,600 for a basic steel or fiberglass unit, not including impact rating. A Florida Product Approval-rated impact entry door starts around $3,500 and goes up to $8,000 depending on size, glass package, and finish. Storm doors typically run $700-$1,800 installed. Arched and custom doors on historic homes run $4,500-$12,000 because the product is purpose-built and the Historic Preservation Board process adds time, though it doesn’t add cost to our quote; we factor the pre-application meeting into our scope from day one.
What changes the price: the condition of the existing jamb, whether the opening needs structural reinforcement, the glass package you choose, and whether you’re in a historic district. We write it all out in a line-item estimate before work starts. Call (813) 320-9346 for your free estimate, and we’ll give you numbers in writing.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
You need a Palm Beach County permit for any door replacement that changes the opening or the product’s wind-load rating, and in the city’s Historic Preservation Districts you also need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board. We pull county permits for every structural door replacement and schedule the HPB pre-application meeting when the property requires it. In practice, this means a door replacement in El Cid takes about one to two weeks longer than the same job in Greenacres, but we account for that timeline before we quote. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you exactly which approvals your address needs.
You can, but we don’t recommend it, and here’s why: the original jalousie frame on a 1960s CBS ranch in West Palm Beach was never tied to the concrete block, and it wasn’t rated for the wind loads Palm Beach County now requires. Replacing only the leaf leaves a frame that will flex, leak, and eventually fail, and it disqualifies you from wind-mitigation insurance discounts. We replace the full assembly and reinforce the jamb so the door meets current Florida Product Approval requirements. The cost difference is usually $800-$1,500, and it’s the difference between a door that holds and one that blows out. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll do a free on-site assessment.
West Palm Beach sits directly on the western shore of the Intracoastal Waterway, and the salt-laden air that comes off the water affects every property east of I-95, not just the oceanfront homes. Anodized aluminum frames and plain steel hardware will visibly corrode within two to three years in neighborhoods like Kenilworth and Grandview Heights. We install powder-coated frames, stainless steel hinges, and thresholds with a marine-grade finish on any home within a mile of the Intracoastal. The hardware costs more upfront; replacing it every three years costs more long-term. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through the options.
Yes, the Historic Preservation Board affects door installation in Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, and the other designated historic districts; any replacement door must replicate the original profile, muntin pattern, and sightlines closely enough to satisfy HPB design guidelines. You avoid a stop-work order by scheduling a pre-application meeting, bringing product samples and elevation drawings, and getting written HPB approval before pulling the permit. We handle that meeting for you, and we’ve done enough of them to know which products get approved and which get rejected on sight. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll start with your address.
For an interior door, no, impact rating is not required. For any exterior door, including a back door, side door, or garage entry door, Palm Beach County’s building code requires Florida Product Approval-rated impact protection because the entire building envelope has to meet the ~140 mph design wind speed. That includes doors that don’t face the street. We install impact-rated doors on every exterior opening in West Palm Beach, and we’ll flag any opening that doesn’t meet current code during our estimate. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free assessment.
