AfterScreen Door Installation in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
A new screen door installation in Palm Beach Gardens typically costs between $350 and $850, depending on the frame material, mesh type, and whether we are installing a standard sliding screen or a heavy-duty security screen. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we install custom-fitted screen doors that operate on a true track, ensuring they slide without binding, jumping the rail, or catching in the humid Florida heat. If you are tired of a screen door that sags, tears easily, or refuses to glide, call us at (772) 794-8169 to schedule a measurement.
Living here in Palm Beach Gardens, we understand the specific toll our coastal environment takes on patio access. Between the salt air that corrodes lower-grade aluminum and the intense sun that degrades standard fiberglass mesh, a screen door here faces more stress than in most parts of the country. We don’t believe in flimsy, big-box store replacements that need swapping every two seasons. We install doors built to last, often working as a natural extension of our Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach Gardens service. When we install a screen, we check the frame alignment and track condition first, because a perfect screen on a warped track is just a headache waiting to happen.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 with a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to the screen as much as the glass. We are a second-generation glazier operation, and we treat every installation as a craft commitment. We show up on time, measure twice, and ensure the door fits the opening exactly, not just “close enough.” We are an authorized installer for major manufacturers like PGT, and we bring that same factory-certified attention to detail to your screen door installation.
When You Need Screen Door Installation
You might be tempted to patch a tear or try to straighten a bent frame yourself, but in our experience, the structural integrity of the screen door is usually compromised once the frame begins to twist or the rollers fail. Here are the specific signs that it is time for a professional replacement rather than a repair.
- The door jumps the track repeatedly: If your door leaves the track every time you slide it, the rollers are likely worn out or the track itself has developed a divot from years of use. We see this often in older homes near the Intracoastal where salt buildup has caused minor track corrosion.
- The frame is bent or twisted: A screen door frame should be perfectly square. If you see a gap between the door and the jamb when it is closed, insects are getting in. We can replace the unit with a sturdier frame that resists the bending common in our high-humidity environment.
- Mesh degradation and “dry rot”: Florida sun is relentless. If your mesh looks brittle or crumbles when you touch it, the UV protection has failed. We replace these with high-durability mesh options that stand up to the Palm Beach Gardens sun longer than standard fiberglass.
- Binding or heavy resistance: If you have to lift the door to get it to move, the internal tension is gone. This often indicates that the spring-loaded rollers have seized or the bottom rail has flattened.
- Security concerns: If you are looking for more than just bug protection, we install heavy-duty security screens that provide a physical barrier while still allowing for that essential cross-breeze.
If you see any of these issues, call (772) 794-8169. We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics; we simply assess what is there and tell you if it can be salvaged or if a replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective path.
Our Screen Door Installation Process
We do not use subcontractors. When you hire TruePane, you get our uniformed, background-checked technicians who have been trained in our shop. We treat your home with the same respect we would our own.
- Initial Assessment and Precise Measurement: We arrive at your home to inspect the existing door and the track. We measure the opening in three different spots to account for settling in your home’s foundation. A screen door that is measured for an “average” opening will fail; ours are measured for your specific opening.
- Side-by-Side Quote Presentation: We don’t guess prices. We present options from manufacturers like PGT or Ply Gem, showing you the exact cost difference between standard mesh, pet-resistant mesh, and security-grade options. You choose what works for your budget and needs.
- Track Cleaning and Prep: Before the new door touches the track, we clean and lubricate the existing track system. We remove years of grit, salt, and debris. If the track is damaged, we address that first, or the new door will just fail prematurely.
- Custom Installation and Alignment: We hang the door and adjust the tension on the rollers until it glides with a single finger. We verify the seal against the door frame to ensure no gaps exist for insects to enter.
- The Keystone Standard Check: Before we leave, we register both layers of the manufacturer warranty in writing. We walk you through the operation of the door and confirm you are satisfied with the glide and the seal. This is backed by our Done Right Promise.
We pride ourselves on doing the job right on the first visit. We come prepared with the parts and tools needed to finish the work without a second trip, keeping your day moving.
Screen Door Installation Pricing in Palm Beach Gardens
Pricing for screen doors varies based on the size of the opening, the material of the frame (heavy-duty aluminum vs. standard), and the type of screening material used. We believe in upfront pricing, which means you know exactly what you are paying before we begin.

|---|---|
| Standard Sliding Screen Replacement | $350 – $550 |
| Heavy-Duty Aluminum Frame Upgrade | $500 – $750 |

Call us at (772) 794-8169 to get an exact quote for your home.
FAQs - Screen Door Installation
Can you fix a screen door that just needs the wheels replaced?
Yes, we often perform track and roller repairs without needing a full door replacement, provided the frame is still square and the mesh is in good condition. If the frame is twisted or the mesh is badly degraded, a repair is often a temporary fix that costs you more in the long run than a proper replacement unit. Call us for an assessment of your specific door.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my screen door?
It depends on the age and quality of your current door. If you have a high-quality, custom-fit frame that just needs new rollers or mesh, a repair is the more economical choice. However, if you are using a mass-produced, thin-gauge aluminum door that has started to bow, the repair will likely not hold for long, and a replacement is the better value. We will provide an honest recommendation on-site so you can make the right decision for your home.
How long does a screen door installation take?
Most standard screen door installations are completed in a single visit, usually within 90 minutes to two hours depending on the condition of the existing track. Because we are a local business serving Palm Beach Gardens since 2008, we know how to handle the specific challenges of our local architecture, allowing us to work efficiently without sacrificing the quality of the fit.
Do you offer warranties on screen door installations?
Every job we perform is backed by The Keystone Standard, which includes both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Additionally, we provide a Done Right Promise on our workmanship. If the door isn’t sliding correctly or if there is an issue with the installation, we make it right-no paperwork fights and no arguing.
We understand that a screen door is more than just a convenience; it is a primary way to enjoy the Florida weather without the pests. Whether you need a simple roller adjustment or a complete replacement of a worn-out unit, we are here to help. We are proud to serve our neighbors in Palm Beach Gardens with the same care and precision we have used since 2008.
