Door Installation in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Door Installation for Palm Beach Homeowners

A new front door in Palm Beach typically costs between $1,800 and $6,500 installed, depending on whether you choose a standard Therma-Tru fiberglass unit or a fully custom hurricane-rated PGT system. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been installing doors across Palm Beach since 2011, which means we’ve seen just about every entryway situation this coastal climate can throw at a house. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and every door we hang carries that accountability with it. If your door is warped from humidity, drafty around the edges, or simply looks tired next to the rest of your Palm Beach home, call us at (561) 782-7525. A real person answers, any hour.

What Our Door Installation Service Includes

Every door we install in Palm Beach comes with the same commitments: upfront line-item pricing before work starts, background-checked technicians in uniform, and the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Here’s what that looks like across the five door types we handle most often in Palm Beach.

Entry Doors

Your entry door is the first thing guests touch and the first place Palm Beach humidity finds a way in. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors sized precisely to your existing opening, which matters more than people realize in older Palm Beach homes where door frames have settled over decades. Winslow Windows & Doors carries Therma-Tru entry systems because they hold up to salt air and sun without the swelling and sticking you get with cheaper slabs. We handle the full install, from removing the old door and frame to setting the new threshold, flashing, and weatherstripping so your air conditioning stays where it belongs.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, which means a front door isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s a structural component of your home’s wind protection. We install impact-rated doors from PGT and CGI that are tested to withstand windborne debris without shattering or blowing inward. The code requirements in Palm Beach County are specific about impact ratings and product approvals, and we pull permits and schedule inspections on every hurricane door installation. When a storm is bearing down on Palm Beach, the last thing you want is to wonder whether your front door was installed by someone who understood the pressure ratings. We do.

French & Double Doors

French doors are beautiful and demanding, especially in a salt-air climate. The tolerances are tight, and if the two slabs aren’t perfectly aligned, you’ll feel the draft every evening when the sea breeze kicks up off the Intracoastal. We install French and double door systems with reinforced hinges and multi-point locking hardware so the doors close square and stay square. For Palm Beach homes with pool access or patio walkouts, we often recommend impact-rated French doors from CGI, which give you the glass and the view without the vulnerability. We also address the common failure point we see in Palm Beach: the center astragal where two doors meet, which is where cheap installations start leaking first.

Replacement Doors

Replacing a door in Palm Beach is rarely as simple as swapping a slab. The frame may be rotted at the bottom from years of afternoon rainstorms, or the original opening may be slightly out of square. We remove the entire old assembly down to the rough opening, repair or reinforce the framing as needed, and install the new prehung door with fresh flashing and insulation. If you have a door that jams in August and swings free in January, that’s the humidity moving through the wood, and we solve it with a properly sealed and flashed replacement. Homeowners across Palm Beach call us when the DIY door replacement they attempted turns out to be more than the weekend project they planned.

Storm & Exterior Doors

A storm door adds a layer of protection between the Florida weather and your primary entry door, and in Palm Beach it earns its keep year-round. We install storm and exterior doors with tempered or impact glass, aluminum or steel frames, and self-closing mechanisms that withstand daily use and salt exposure. For homes on Palm Beach’s barrier island or within a few blocks of the ocean, we recommend powder-coated aluminum frames because galvanized steel will eventually show rust in that environment. A well-installed storm door also lets you keep the main door open in the winter months when the temperature finally drops and you want the cross-breeze without the bugs.

Brands We Service for Door Installation

Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, PGT, and CGI, which means we’ve completed the manufacturer training, follow their installation specifications to the letter, and can register your product warranty without a hitch. We’ve installed hundreds of Therma-Tru entry systems in Palm Beach and know their hinge prep and threshold systems well enough to spot a factory issue before it ever gets hung. That matters because a warranty claim is only as good as the installation behind it.

For impact-rated doors, we work with PGT and CGI because those two manufacturers dominate the South Florida hurricane protection market, and we’ve seen how their products perform in real Palm Beach storms, not just in the test lab. We stock common replacement parts for these brands, including sweeps, seals, and hinge kits, so future maintenance doesn’t leave you waiting on a slow parts shipment. Whether your home currently has a Therma-Tru, a PGT, a CGI, or something else entirely, we can assess it and recommend the right replacement for your opening and your budget.

Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now

• You can see daylight around the door edges. If light gets through, so does everything else: hot air, humidity, rain, and insects. In Palm Beach’s climate, a door that doesn’t seal is quietly driving up your cooling bill every single month. This is usually a frame or weatherstripping issue that a new prehung door solves completely.
• The door sticks or won’t latch without force. Palm Beach humidity causes wood doors and frames to swell, and once a door starts binding, the problem compounds as the hinges and strike plate get knocked out of alignment. A door that won’t latch is also a security issue, and forcing it closed just damages the frame further.
• Your door is original to a home built before Florida’s modern hurricane codes. Homes in Palm Beach built before 2002 often have doors that were never impact-rated and were installed without the flashing and fastening schedules required today. Replacing that door isn’t just an upgrade; it’s bringing the home’s envelope up to current wind-load standards.
• You’re repainting around the door every year because of peeling and bubbling. In Palm Beach, peeling paint around a door frame usually means moisture is getting behind the casing, and the wood underneath is slowly rotting. Painting over it hides the symptom but the frame continues to degrade. A full replacement with proper flashing stops the cycle.
• The door is dented, cracked, or the frame is soft to the touch. Dents in a steel door compromise its structural integrity, and softness in the frame means rot has already set in. In a hurricane zone, a compromised door and frame are a failure point the entire wall assembly depends on. If you can press a screwdriver into the jamb, call us at (561) 782-7525.

Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step

We’re specific about how we install doors in Palm Beach because the difference between a door that lasts five years and one that lasts thirty is almost always in the details that never get seen once the trim goes back on.

1. 1
   Measurement and consultation. We come to your Palm Beach home, measure the rough opening in three places, check the slab for level, and assess the condition of the existing frame and threshold. This is also when we talk through your options, door brands, glass packages, and what the total job will cost. You get a written line-item estimate before any commitment is made.
2. 2
   Product ordering and permitting. Once you approve the estimate, we order your door system and pull any required permits with Palm Beach County or your municipality. Impact-rated door installations in Palm Beach require a permit and a final inspection, and we handle that process from start to finish. It protects you and it protects the warranty.
3. 3
   Removal and frame inspection. On installation day, our technicians remove the old door and casing and inspect the rough opening. In older Palm Beach homes, we frequently find rotted sill plates or termite damage that has to be addressed before a new door can go in. We’ll show you what we find and quote any additional framing work transparently before proceeding.
4. 4
   Installation, flashing, and sealing. We set the new prehung door in the opening, shim it plumb and level, and fasten it according to the manufacturer’s spec and Florida Building Code. Then we flash the bottom and sides with self-adhered membrane, install the door, and seal around the perimeter with backer rod and sealant. Every screw, every shim, every detail is checked against a completion checklist.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and warranty registration. We clean the work area, walk the door operation with you, and make sure you understand the lock, the sweep, and any care instructions for your door material. We register your manufacturer warranty on the spot, and the Done Right Promise begins the day we drive away. If anything isn’t right, you call us and we come back.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Palm Beach

What is door installation?

Door installation is the complete process of removing an old door and its frame, preparing the rough opening, and installing a new prehung door system that is plumb, level, sealed, and flashed against water and air intrusion. In Palm Beach, proper installation also includes meeting Florida’s wind-load requirements for exterior doors and passing any required county or municipal inspections. Winslow Windows & Doors handles every step from measurement to final walkthrough so you never have to coordinate multiple contractors.

How long does door installation take?

A standard single door replacement in Palm Beach is usually completed in one day once the door arrives. Impact-rated doors with full frame replacement, or French door systems with rotted framing that needs repair, can take two to three days. The wait between signing and installation depends on the manufacturer’s lead time, which is typically two to six weeks for custom-sized doors. We’ll give you an honest timeline at the estimate and keep you posted on your order.

How much does door installation cost in Palm Beach?

Expect to pay between $1,800 and $6,500 for a new exterior door in Palm Beach, with storm doors landing at the low end and custom hurricane-impact French doors at the high end. Your exact price depends on the door brand, the glass package, the condition of your existing frame, and whether permits are required. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll measure your opening and give you a written line-item estimate for free.

Do you service and install PGT and CGI doors?

Yes. Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for both PGT and CGI, and we install their impact-rated entry doors, French doors, and sliding door systems throughout Palm Beach. We’re also authorized for Therma-Tru, and we register every manufacturer warranty for you on the day of installation. If you already have a PGT or CGI door that needs replacement or a matching style, we can source it through our dealer channels.

Can you install a door in an emergency situation?

If a door has failed, been kicked in, or won’t secure the home, call us at (561) 782-7525 any time, day or night. A live person answers and we’ll get someone out to assess the situation. For temporary security, we can board and secure the opening the same day, and then bring the replacement door through our normal process with a clear timeline and price. Your safety comes first, and that’s never a voicemail situation.

What warranty comes with door installation in Palm Beach?

Every door we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and product line, plus our own Done Right Promise. If the installation is not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right, period. That’s a century’s worth of accountability on every single door. The warranty is tied to the property, so it transfers if you sell your Palm Beach home.

How should I prepare for door installation day?

Clear a path from your entry to the work area, and move any furniture or wall decor away from the door if it’s an interior-facing installation. If you have pets, plan to keep them out of the work zone while our technicians are moving materials in and out. We’ll cover the floor with drop cloths and clean the work area when we’re done. That’s about all you need to do; we handle the rest.
