AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach costs anywhere from $900 for a basic storm door to $12,000+ for a custom arched entry in a historic district, and TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing this work across the city’s distinct housing stock long enough to know exactly what your street requires. If your home sits in El Cid or Flamingo Park, you’re dealing with two approval queues before a single hinge goes in. If you’re in a 1960s CBS ranch near Southern Boulevard, the conversation is about impact ratings and Florida Product Approval. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll walk you through what your specific door actually needs, not what a generic installer guesses it needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We work the tight lots, the historic reviews, and the salt-air hardware failures that define door work in West Palm Beach. Our Door Installation crew has replaced front entries on 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes in El Cid, standard sliders on 1960s CBS ranches south of Okeechobee Boulevard, and large-format folding doors in newer western subdivisions near Royal Palm Beach. Each one came with its own permit requirements, its own neighbor notifications, and its own inspection timeline. We quote for all of it on paper before the first cut.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he kept seeing doors that bound in July, seals that fogged by the second winter, and warranty paperwork that mysteriously covered neither. His rule is on the whiteboard at our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every entry door, French door, and storm door we hang in West Palm Beach. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. You get a square deal, and we stand behind it for 90 days with the Done Right Promise.
We’ll be there when we say. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because the homeowner who just watched their front door come off its hinges at 8 p.m. does not want a voicemail tree. When you call (772) 794-8169, you get a human who knows West Palm Beach’s permit offices, its historic board calendars, and its building inspectors.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry door installation in West Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $7,500 depending on material, impact rating, and whether your home falls in a historic district. On a 1950s CBS ranch, that might mean a solid-core impact-rated fiberglass door that handles 150+ mph design wind loads without rusting in the Intracoastal’s salt air. On a 1920s El Cid home, it means a wood door with a divided-lite profile the Historic Preservation Board will actually approve. We carry both, and we do not guess which one your address requires.
Double & French Doors
Double French door installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $3,200 to $9,800. The wide range comes down to structural work: many older masonry homes in the city’s core were framed for single doors, so converting to a double opening means header reinforcement and sometimes a full frame rebuild. We measure the load path, not just the opening. If you’re within a mile of the Intracoastal, we also spec marine-grade hinges and thresholds, because standard hardware pits and seizes in under two years out here.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door installation runs $4,500 to $13,000 in West Palm Beach. These are increasingly common in the city’s newer western subdivisions and downtown condos, where homeowners want to open an entire wall to a patio or balcony. If your HOA or condo association has an approval process, factor that into the timeline. We have worked with association boards from downtown towers to communities near Okeechobee Boulevard, and we submit their paperwork early so your door does not sit in a crate while a board meets.
Pivot Doors
Pivot door installation runs $5,000 to $15,000 in West Palm Beach, and most of that cost is in the engineering. A pivot hinge carries the door’s full weight on a single point, which means the subfloor and header have to be dead level and properly reinforced. That is a real consideration on older masonry homes where floors have settled unevenly over 80 years. Our technicians check the reveal, the subfloor, and the frame before quoting, because a pivot door on an out-of-level floor is a callback waiting to happen.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Historic board rejection on lite patterns: A homeowner in Flamingo Park replaces a front door without design review, the board rejects the lite configuration, and the job stalls for weeks. We pull the review requirements before we quote so the approval queue is factored in from day one.
- Salt spray corrosion on standard hardware: Homes within 1,000 feet of the Intracoastal eat standard aluminum hinges and thresholds in two to three years. We spec marine-grade or stainless hardware on any door within the salt-influence zone, from El Cid down to the South End.
- Shared-wall jamb replacements without notice: In El Cid and Flamingo Park, many door jambs sit on shared masonry party walls. Replacing one without notifying the adjacent owner can trigger a code complaint and a neighbor dispute. We file the notice before we trench or rebuild.
- Non-impact swing doors failing final inspection: Palm Beach County’s design wind speeds mean every exterior door needs valid Florida Product Approval. We have seen contractors install a perfectly good door and then fail the final because the product was never approved for this wind zone. We quote only approved products for exterior openings.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
We are not the cheapest bid in West Palm Beach, and we do not pretend to be. We are the last call you make after the cheapest bid leaves you with a door that binds in July. Here are honest ranges for our market:
| Door Type | Typical West Palm Beach Cost |
|---|---|
| Storm door | $900 - $2,200 |
| Standard entry door (impact-rated fiberglass) | $1,800 - $4,500 |
| Custom wood entry door (historic district) | $3,500 - $8,000 |
| Double French doors | $3,200 - $9,800 |
| Bifold or folding door | $4,500 - $13,000 |
| Pivot door | $5,000 - $15,000 |
What moves the number up or down: whether the opening was framed for a double or single, whether your jamb is rotted and needs full frame replacement, whether you are within a historic overlay district with design review fees, and whether your existing hardware has salt corrosion that requires new rough opening work. We give you a written line-item quote before work starts. Fixed pricing means the number on the quote is the number on the bill. Call (772) 794-8169 for your free estimate, and we will show you exactly where every dollar goes.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Yes, in most cases you need design review approval before replacing an exterior door in El Cid’s historic district, because the board checks that the new door’s lite pattern, material, and profile match the home’s 1920s character. We handle the submission, attend the board meeting if needed, and sequence the work so approval happens before materials are ordered. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will tell you exactly what your specific address requires.
Salt spray from the Intracoastal corrodes standard aluminum hinges, handles, and thresholds within two years on homes within about 1,000 feet of the waterline, so we spec marine-grade stainless or coated hardware for any door in that zone. The upgrade costs roughly $150 to $400 more than standard hardware and prevents a seized mechanism three summers from now. On older homes in El Cid or along Flagler Drive, the existing hardware often shows the same pitting, which tells us the replacement standard is already proven on your house.
No, if the door is an exterior opening in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated glazing with valid Florida Product Approval, and a standard non-impact double French door will fail the final inspection. Plus, the original framing on many 1950s CBS ranches was built for a single door, so the header needs reinforcement before a double unit goes in. That work is part of the quote we give you up front, not a surprise line item after the old door comes out.
You should give written notice at least three days before work that touches a shared masonry wall, and in Flamingo Park, where party walls are common and lot lines are tight, we recommend seven days and a documented delivery. The notice should describe the scope, the hours, and who is doing the work. We prepare and deliver that notice for you, because a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home with a shared wall is not the place to improvise neighbor relations.
West Palm Beach limits construction noise to daylight hours, typically 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and tighter rules apply on weekends, so a door replacement on a tight downtown lot gets scheduled within those windows and wrapped up the same day in most cases. We stage materials in our truck or a panelized containment area rather than on the sidewalk, and we let adjacent property owners know when the noisy work starts. That keeps the job moving without a code complaint from the neighbor whose bedroom window is 12 feet from your door.
