AfterTrusted Door Installation for North Palm Beach Homeowners
Door installation in North Palm Beach typically runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on the door type, framing condition, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated hardware. Most residential door replacements we complete in the North Palm Beach area are finished in a single day, with the written quote delivered before any work begins and the final invoice matching that document exactly. Call (561) 475-1246 to schedule your measured survey.
Since 2012, Sightline Windows & Doors has installed and replaced more than 18,000 openings across Palm Beach County under the Haven Standard. In North Palm Beach Door Installation work, we regularly see salt-air corrosion on coastal-facing door hardware, frame swelling from the summer humidity that peaks above 90 percent from June through September, and jamb rot in homes built during the 1970s and 1980s construction boom around Prosperity Farms Road and US-1. We don’t guess at what’s wrong. We measure the rough opening, document the existing frame with photos you receive, and specify the exact product by performance tier and price range before anyone orders material.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival, per Haven Clause 3. The person at your door is the person on the record. Live phone coverage is available 24/7, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard, not offered as a courtesy.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
An entry door is the primary access point for your home, and in North Palm Beach, it needs to withstand salt-laden air, driving rain from the east, and the occasional tropical system that pushes water against the jamb. We replace entry doors in single-family homes from the estates along Anchorage Drive to the ranch-style homes near North Palm Beach Country Club, and we specify products from CWS and Therma-Tru by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. Our measured survey captures the rough opening width, height, and plumb to within 1/8 inch; the written quote cannot differ from that document.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Impact-rated front doors in North Palm Beach must meet Florida Building Code requirements for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones, including Miami-Dade and Broward protocols that Palm Beach County frequently adopts. We install hurricane-proof front and entry doors from PGT and CGI with laminated glass and reinforced frames tested to withstand missile impact and cyclic pressure loading. In the North Palm Beach market, we typically see homeowners upgrading from decorative glass panels that failed to meet post-2017 code revisions; we specify the design pressure rating, the glazing thickness, and the exact hardware schedule in writing before ordering.
French & Double Doors
French and double doors create wide openings to patios, pools, and Florida rooms, but they also multiply the failure points for air infiltration, water intrusion, and structural flex. In North Palm Beach, we install French and double door systems from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems with multi-point locking hardware and composite sill pans that direct water to the exterior. The measured survey for a double door replacement includes the header deflection check and the subsill condition, because a French door that binds in summer humidity is usually a frame that was never square to begin with.
Replacement Doors
Door Installation - Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach both require the same careful approach: replacement door installation addresses the full assembly: slab, frame, hardware, and weatherstrip, not just the visible panel. In North Palm Beach homes built between 1960 and 1995, we regularly find original frames that are out of plumb by 3/8 inch or more, with subsill rot hidden beneath aluminum threshold covers. We document the condition with photos you keep, specify the remediation scope in writing, and install the replacement door with a composite or pressure-treated subsill as required. The written price before any work starts includes the frame remediation, the door unit, and the finish trim; no change orders emerge after demolition.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm and exterior doors provide a secondary barrier against weather and a deterrent against forced entry, but they also create a trapped air space that can accelerate corrosion if the primary door is already compromised. We install storm and exterior doors from ViewLux and Mr-Glass with full-view or screen configurations, and we specify the ventilation pattern and the strike reinforcement based on whether the primary door is impact-rated or standard construction. In North Palm Beach, where the ocean breeze carries salt year-round, we use stainless steel or coated fasteners exclusively; the hardware schedule is itemized in the written quote.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines for every door installation in North Palm Beach, specified by performance tier and price range, not by margin. Our technicians have direct experience with CWS entry door systems, including their impact-rated fiberglass and steel offerings with composite frames that resist the moisture absorption we see in coastal Florida. We’ve installed hundreds of ES Windows French and sliding door configurations in Palm Beach County homes, including our Door Installation in Palm Beach projects, and we stock their OEM hardware for common service sizes. ECO Window Systems provides the aluminum-framed impact doors we specify for modern and coastal contemporary homes around Singer Island and the Intracoastal Waterway, where the design pressure requirements exceed 50 psf. Mr-Glass contributes the laminated glazing packages and custom glass inserts that we integrate with Therma-Tru and PGT frame systems for homeowners who want visible light transmission without sacrificing impact resistance.
Whether you have CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or any other make currently installed, we can service, repair, or replace it. Our measured survey identifies the manufacturer, the series, and the date code when visible; when it’s not visible, we measure the glazing thickness, the frame extrusion profile, and the hardware mounting pattern to specify the correct replacement. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we will review it at no charge under our Free Second Opinion policy.

- Visible daylight around the frame perimeter. Gaps between the door slab and the jamb, or between the jamb and the rough opening, indicate that the weatherstrip has compressed beyond recovery or the frame has shifted. In North Palm Beach, we measure the gap with a feeler gauge during our survey; anything exceeding 1/8 inch at the lock stile or 3/16 inch at the head is documented as a air infiltration source that drives cooling load.
- Water staining on the interior floor or drywall adjacent to the door. Water intrusion at a door opening typically follows the path of least resistance: the subsill joint, the jamb-to-sill intersection, or the fastener penetrations in the threshold. We remove the threshold cover to inspect the subsill condition, and we photograph the finding for the documented photo record you receive.
- The door binds, sticks, or requires shoulder pressure to latch. Binding is not normal seasonal expansion. In North Palm Beach’s climate, a door that sticks in summer and frees in winter is usually a frame that was installed out of square or has settled due to inadequate shimming. Our measured survey includes a diagonal check of the frame opening; if the diagonals differ by more than 1/4 inch, we specify frame reconstruction, not just a slab replacement.
- Corrosion on hinges, screws, or the threshold. Salt-air corrosion accelerates after the factory coating is compromised, and once pitting begins, the fastener or hinge loses cross-sectional strength. We specify stainless steel or coated replacement hardware for every coastal installation, and we itemize the hardware schedule in the written quote.
- The door slab or frame shows cracking, delamination, or rot. Fiberglass doors can delaminate at the skin-to-stile joint; steel doors rust from the interior face outward; wood frames rot at the sill and lock stile base. We probe suspect areas with an awl during survey and specify the full replacement scope, including any structural remediation, in the written price before any work starts.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and documented condition. We arrive at your North Palm Beach home with a laser measure, a digital level, and a camera. The technician records the rough opening width, height, and diagonal squareness; checks the header for deflection; probes the subsill and jamb bases for moisture damage; and photographs every finding. You keep a copy of the measured survey. This document becomes the basis for the written quote; Haven Clause 1 requires that the price and the measurement travel together.
- 2
Written quote with product specification. Within 24 hours of the survey, you receive a written quote that names the manufacturer, the series, the design pressure rating (for impact-rated units), the U-factor and SHGC (for energy-efficient units), the hardware schedule, the finish options, and the total installed price. The quote is a fixed price. It does not change unless you change the scope. We do not estimate and revise later.
- 3
Material order and permit application. Once you approve the written quote, we order the specified door unit and apply for permits if the installation requires them. In North Palm Beach, replacement of an existing door in the same opening typically does not require a permit; enlargement of the opening, structural modification, or new construction does. We identify the permit requirement in the written quote and include the permit fee when applicable.
- 4
Installation by verified crew. The installation crew arrives on the scheduled date, identified by name and license number per Haven Clause 3. They remove the existing door and frame, remediate any subsill or rough opening damage, install the new unit with composite shims and structural fasteners on a bed of sealant, verify plumb and level, and apply the finish trim. The lead technician photographs the completed installation from multiple angles for the documented photo record.
- 5
Final inspection, documentation, and warranty activation. You walk the installation with the lead technician, verify operation and finish, and receive the final invoice, which matches the written quote exactly. The documented photo record is uploaded to your file. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated automatically. If anything is not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in North Palm Beach?
A typical West Palm Beach Door Installation or North Palm Beach entry door replacement runs $1,800-$3,400 for a standard fiberglass or steel unit in an existing frame that is plumb and sound. Hurricane-proof front and entry door installations with impact-rated glass and reinforced frames range from $3,200-$6,500 depending on the design pressure rating, the glazing package, and whether the opening requires structural reinforcement. French and double door systems start around $4,500 and can exceed $8,000 for oversized or custom configurations with multi-point hardware. Storm and exterior door installations are typically $800-$1,600 for a standard size with screen or full-view panel.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Frame condition is the most significant: a subsill or jamb that requires reconstruction adds $400-$1,200 to the scope. Impact-rated hardware and laminated glazing add 40-60 percent over standard construction. Custom sizes, specialty finishes, and integrated blinds or shades are priced per the manufacturer list. What does not move the price is our process: the measured survey, the written quote, the documented photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise are included on every job, not sold as upgrades.
To avoid overpaying, compare written quotes line by line, not headline to headline. A lower initial price that excludes frame remediation, permit fees, or finish trim will grow after demolition. Our written quote itemizes every component; the final invoice matches it. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate; bring it to us and we will review the scope and pricing at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in North Palm Beach
Door installation is the complete placement of a new door unit, including the slab, frame, hardware, and weatherstrip, into a prepared opening. Door replacement removes an existing unit and installs a new one, which may or may not require frame reconstruction depending on the condition we find. In North Palm Beach, most of our projects are replacements in homes built between 1960 and 2000, where the original frame has settled, corroded, or rotted. Call (561) 475-1246 for a measured survey that determines whether your project is a straightforward replacement or requires frame remediation.
A standard entry door replacement in North Palm Beach takes 4-6 hours from removal to final trim, assuming the frame is sound. Hurricane-rated units with multi-point hardware or French and double door systems typically require a full day. Frame reconstruction, structural header modification, or stucco repair adds time that we specify in the written quote before work begins. We do not promise same-day completion on planned construction work; we promise arrival on schedule and completion without return visits, per Haven Clause 2.
Standard entry door installation in North Palm Beach ranges from $1,800-$3,400; hurricane-proof units run $3,200-$6,500; French and double doors start at $4,500.

The measured survey identifies your existing manufacturer and series when visible; when it’s not, we measure the extrusion profile and hardware pattern to specify the correct replacement.
We do not offer emergency installation for planned door replacement, which is a scheduled construction project. If your door has been damaged by a break-in, storm impact, or structural failure that creates a security or weather exposure, call (561) 475-1246; our live phone coverage is available 24/7 and we will assess whether temporary secure boarding or expedited replacement is appropriate. For non-urgent replacement, we schedule measured surveys within 48 hours in North Palm Beach.
Every door installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard: if it’s not done right, we make it right. This covers workmanship, installation materials, and operation for one year from completion. Manufacturer warranties on the door slab, glass, and hardware run concurrently and vary by brand; we provide the manufacturer warranty documents with your final invoice. The warranty and the documented photo record travel together, so there is no dispute about the condition at completion.
Clear a path to the door from the nearest exterior access, remove wall hangings and furniture within 6 feet of the opening, and secure pets in a separate room. You do not need to remove the existing door, trim, or hardware; our crew handles demolition. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it for our Free Second Opinion review. The measured survey takes 30-45 minutes; you receive the written quote within 24 hours, and you are not obligated to proceed. Call (561) 475-1246 to schedule.
