AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Sliding & Patio Doors - West Palm Beach installation is rarely a simple swap. The city’s mix of 1920s bungalows in Flamingo Park, mid-century CBS homes near the Intracoastal, and newer construction west of I-95 means every opening has a different story. The frame is often out of square. The rough opening was built for a jalousie door that no longer meets code. And if you’re in a historic district, the wrong door gets rejected before the permit ever leaves the desk. TruePane Windows & Doors handles all of it. We measure twice, quote side by side on paper, and stage the job so tight lots and shared walls don’t turn into neighbor disputes. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll schedule your free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve done enough doors in Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Northwood to know what the Historic Preservation Board will accept before we ever submit the application. That’s not a guess. It’s the difference between a permit issued in one submittal and a door sitting in a warehouse while the redesign eats three weeks. Homeowners in West Palm Beach call us because we pre-specify Impact Windows & Doors - West Palm Beach with simulated divided lites and narrower sightlines that clear both the HPB and the Florida Building Code in a single pass. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to the frame, the hardware, the seal, and the permit paperwork.
Every TruePane technician is background-checked and uniformed. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. That matters when a corroded hinge gives out on a Saturday afternoon in West Palm Beach and you need to know if someone can look at it.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Impact-Rated Entry & Swing Doors
The front door on most West Palm Beach homes is the weakest opening in the wind mitigation report. A single-panel door built in 1986 cannot pass a modern inspection, and your insurance carrier knows it. We install impact-rated entry doors from PGT, CGI, and Marvin, each with Florida Product Approval documentation in hand. On an El Cid Mediterranean Revival, that means a door that looks period-correct but carries a 160 mph design pressure rating. On a 1960s CBS ranch off Southern Boulevard, it means clean lines and a frame that will not rack in a storm. Door Installation of this type is the single largest insurance credit most homeowners can earn.
Arched & Custom Doors
The arched entryways in Flamingo Park and the custom millwork along Flagler Drive are not something you buy off a shelf at a big-box store. We order custom radius doors built to your exact rough opening, not the other way around. Marvin and Andersen will not warranty an arched unit that was forced into a square opening or shimmed to death. Neither will we. Our team templates every arch twice before the order goes in, because a custom door that ships wrong is eight to ten weeks of delays on a job that should take two days.
Double & French Doors
French doors on a West Palm Beach patio face two enemies: salt air and afternoon sun. The salt pits aluminum hardware and seizes hinges. The sun warps untreated wood and breaks down cheap weatherstripping. We pre-specify marine-grade hardware on every exterior French door within half a mile of the Intracoastal or the Lake Worth Lagoon. For inland properties, we still recommend stainless hinges and compression gaskets because the humidity here is relentless. A pair of double doors that is not hung level will bind in July. We level both doors, set the reveal, and adjust the threshold so the latch engages without lifting.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding door systems open a living room to a West Palm Beach afternoon, but they require a header that carries real load and a track that stays true under thermal expansion. We see plenty of older homes in the city where the original header is undersized for the span. We will not install a four-panel folding door on a header that will sag in two years. We reframe when needed, pull the permit, and set the track dead level. The doors should fold and stack with two fingers, not a shoulder.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. That means we can register your warranty in your name, with the manufacturer, before we leave the driveway. If a door in West Palm Beach was installed by someone who never filed the registration, that warranty is a piece of paper with no address. We fix that. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the actual cost difference between a PGT WinGuard and a CGI Estate Collection unit, not a verbal range. Parts and glass shipments for West Palm Beach jobs route through South Florida suppliers, so lead times are short and we do not hand our schedule to a freight company.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion near the Intracoastal and Lake Worth Lagoon: Aluminum frames pit and standard hinges seize within a few years on homes east of Dixie Highway. We use marine-grade hardware on every coastal door, because a hinge that fails in two years is a warranty claim nobody pays.
- Historic board rejections in Flamingo Park and El Cid: A flat-profile impact door submitted to the HPB gets kicked back for being incompatible with the streetscape. We pre-specify simulated divided lites and narrower sightlines so the first submittal passes.
- Party-wall and access conflicts on tight lots: Many 1920s and 1940s homes in West Palm Beach sit feet from the property line, sharing a fence or wall with the next house. A neighbor surprised by a crew in their side yard files a complaint and work stops. We handle party-wall notice in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.
- Original jalousie doors that fail wind mitigation: A jalousie door from 1952 cannot meet current Florida Building Code wind provisions. Replacing it with an impact-rated unit is not an option if you want insurance credits; it is the only way to keep coverage affordable in Palm Beach County.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
A standard single entry door replacement in West Palm Beach runs $1,800-$3,200 installed, depending on materials and whether the frame needs resizing. An impact-rated entry door from PGT or CGI runs $3,500-$6,500 installed, with the higher end covering custom sizes and marine-grade hardware. Double French door systems run $5,000-$11,000 installed; folding door systems start around $8,000 and can reach $20,000 on wide openings. Arched or custom doors add 15-35% over a rectangular unit because of templating and manufacturing. Historic district work may add permit and HPB review fees of $150-$400.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Yes. Flamingo Park is a designated historic district, and exterior door replacements require West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board approval before the building permit is issued. A flat-profile impact door will typically be rejected as incompatible with the district’s bungalow and Mediterranean Revival character. We pre-specify impact-rated doors with simulated divided lites and narrower sightlines that clear the HPB and the Florida Building Code in a single submittal, so the permit is not delayed by a redesign. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate that includes the HPB path.
Anything east of Dixie Highway, and most homes within half a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon, sits in the salt-air corrosion zone. Aluminum frames pit, standard steel hinges rust and seize, and threshold screws strip out in a couple of years. We spec marine-grade stainless hardware on every coastal exterior door in West Palm Beach, and we register it under the manufacturer warranty so the protection lasts as long as the door. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate on a salt-air-rated installation.
Yes. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, impact-rated doors with simulated divided lites, appropriate frame profiles, and period-compatible hardware regularly pass HPB review. The key is presenting a submittal that addresses both wind-load requirements and the board’s design criteria at once, not piecemeal. We have done exactly that on 1940s CBS bungalows including a Marvin impact entry door with simulated divided lites installed last spring. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate on your specific door.
If the manufacturer’s seal warranty is registered in writing at installation, the glass unit gets replaced under that warranty, not out of your pocket. The failure happens when an installer never files the registration and the homeowner discovers the lapse a year later. TruePane registers both warranty layers, ours and the manufacturer’s, in writing before the truck leaves your West Palm Beach driveway. The Done Right Promise also covers workmanship issues with no paperwork fights and no arguing. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate on a replacement door.
Yes. The City of West Palm Beach requires a permit for exterior door replacement regardless of district status, and the door must meet current Florida Building Code wind provisions. The permit is straightforward for a non-historic home, but the wind-mitigation documentation matters for your insurance premium. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and provide the documentation your insurer needs to apply wind credits. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate.
If you are near the Intracoastal or the Lagoon, tell us on the call. We will spec marine-grade hardware from the start. If you are in Flamingo Park or El Cid, we will walk the HPB path with you.
