AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach runs anywhere from $450 for a basic interior slab to $6,500 or more for a custom impact-rated entry system, with most exterior door replacements landing between $1,200 and $3,800. What separates a straightforward job from a costly one here is rarely the door itself. It is the intersection of Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements and, in neighborhoods like El Cid and Flamingo Park, the Historic Preservation Board’s aesthetic review. Our crews serve West Palm Beach directly, and a live person answers at (786) 829-6722 whenever you call. We have worked these blocks long enough to know which doors clear permitting on the first submittal and which ones will stall for months.
If you live in a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home near the Intracoastal or a post-war CBS ranch in SoSo, your door needs are not the same as someone in a gated development west of I-95. We scope every job with that in mind.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, but the craft tradition behind it runs deeper than that. Our company has served local communities since 2008, and we bring that steadiness to every West Palm Beach job. We are not a franchise. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be in this town answering the phone in thirty years.
Every West Palm Beach install gets the Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. We back the workmanship with a Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. West Palm Beach homeowners who have been burned once by a fogged seal or a door that binds in July tend to read that kind of language carefully. We expect them to.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, and CGI. That matters when a Historic Preservation Board reviewer wants to see a bronze-finish impact unit with simulated divided lites, not a catalog screenshot.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
We install, replace, and service the full range of residential doors across West Palm Beach. These are the four sub-services we handle most often in this area. For a complete overview, see our Door Installation team’s main service page.
Impact-Rated Entry & Swing Doors
This is the core of our work in West Palm Beach. The city sits solidly within the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region, which means impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system is a legal requirement for virtually every exterior opening, not an upgrade. A typical impact-rated entry door in West Palm Beach runs $2,200 to $5,500 installed, depending on size, finish, and whether the surrounding jamb needs re-flashing. In historic districts, that same door often needs a bronze or white finish with simulated divided lites to clear HPB review, which can add $400 to $1,200 to the material cost.
Double & French Doors
West Palm Beach’s older Mediterranean Revival homes frequently have original French door openings with steel or wood casements. Replacing them with modern impact-rated units that preserve the look of the original profile is a specialty, not a default. A pair of impact-rated French doors in West Palm Beach generally runs $4,800 to $9,000, including the wider header work these older openings often require. Near Lake Worth Lagoon, we spec marine-grade hinges and anodized finishes as standard, because salt air eats standard hardware within two years.
Bifold & Folding Doors
On West Palm Beach’s waterfront and pool-facing elevations, bifold and folding door systems are common in both renovated 1950s ranches and newer Intracoastal builds. A four-panel impact-rated folding door system typically runs $7,000 to $13,000 in this market. The track system matters as much as the glass. Within a mile of the lagoon, we use corrosion-resistant roller hardware designed for marine exposure. Standard stainless rollers will seize. We have seen it happen repeatedly.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors have become popular in newer West Palm Beach construction, particularly in SoSo and Prospect Park where owners are doing contemporary renovations of older CBS homes. A pivot entry door, especially one large enough to require impact glazing, runs $4,500 to $12,000 installed. The pivot hinge carries enormous load at a single point, which means the rough opening framing and header must be dead level and correctly reinforced. We measure every opening twice precisely because a pivot door reveals sloppy framing faster than any other type.
Arched & Custom Doors
West Palm Beach’s historic districts, El Cid and Flamingo Park in particular, are packed with arched entryways, many of them original to the 1920s and 1930s masonry construction. Custom arched doors are not a stock item anywhere. We work with manufacturers who produce true radius impact-rated doors, and a custom arched entry door in West Palm Beach typically runs $5,000 to $11,000. The HPB review process adds time, usually two to four months, and we handle that paperwork before the order is placed, not after the opening is cut.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on any West Palm Beach job we will quote side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying. Each of these manufacturers builds impact-rated units that meet Florida Building Code standards, but their profiles, finishes, and hardware options differ in ways that matter to both the homeowner and the HPB. In historic districts, we find Marvin’s bronze-finish impact units with simulated divided lites clear review more cleanly than any other line we carry. In contemporary ranches, Andersen and Pella both offer strong value on standard impact swing doors. We stock local replacement parts for these brands, which speeds turnaround on service calls across West Palm Beach.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
These are the failure modes we encounter most often in this specific market, and they are not the same ones a contractor from Boca Raton or Delray Beach would list.
- Historic Preservation Board rejections. A contractor submits standard 3-1/2-inch aluminum impact frames in El Cid or Flamingo Park. The HPB rules the frames incompatible with the district’s original narrow-profile steel or wood casement windows. The permit stalls for months, and the homeowner is forced into a costly product swap to simulated divided-light or bronze-finish units. Pre-clearing your door spec with the HPB is the difference between a two-month job and a six-month one.
- Salt-air corrosion within a mile of Lake Worth Lagoon. We replace doors that are barely two years old but look ten. Steel thresholds pit, standard hinges seize, and rollers lock up from the constant salt spray. Marine-grade hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames are not an upsell near the Intracoastal. They are the only spec that holds.
- Improperly flashed thresholds on terrazzo slabs. On a 1950s CBS ranch near SoSo, we replaced a corroded jalousie door with a fusion-welded Marvin impact-rated swing door. The original threshold had been graded flat against the slab, which is why a water stain appeared on the terrazzo every rainy season. We re-sloped the landing, added a waterproof sill pan, reflashed with butyl tape, and sealed the jamb. The stain has not returned.
- Outbuilding and ADU doors set before setbacks are confirmed. If you are adding a detached ADU or finishing an outbuilding on a larger West Palm Beach lot, the county permit process requires septic and well setback lines confirmed before the entry door is set against grade. Setting the door first changes drainage and can force a re-grading plan. We check setbacks before we order anything.
Pricing for Door Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
Here is what we tell West Palm Beach homeowners before any quote goes to paper.
- Interior slab door: $450 to $950 installed
- Standard exterior entry door, non-impact: $1,200 to $2,600 installed
- Impact-rated entry door: $2,200 to $5,500 installed
- Impact-rated French door pair: $4,800 to $9,000 installed
- Impact-rated bifold/folding system: $7,000 to $13,000 installed

Those ranges reflect West Palm Beach’s real market, including the permitting and HPB review costs that most quotes from outside Palm Beach County simply do not include. A door quote from a Boca Raton or Delray Beach contractor will often be lower, and it will also likely be illegal here, because it will not account for the city’s HPB aesthetic review layered on top of Florida’s wind-borne debris code. That is not a scare tactic. It is the single most common reason we see West Palm Beach jobs arrive half-finished from another contractor. Call (786) 829-6722 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Yes. If your home is in El Cid, Flamingo Park, or Old Northwood, you are dealing with two overlapping mandates. The city’s wind-borne debris region designation means impact-rated glazing is legally required on virtually every exterior door. The Historic Preservation Board then reviews the aesthetic of what you install, and standard aluminum impact frames are routinely rejected for not matching original Mediterranean Revival profiles. The workable solution is an impact-rated unit with a bronze or white finish and simulated divided lites. We pre-clear the spec with the HPB before ordering, which saves months of review cycles. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will walk you through what your block requires.
Within about a mile of Lake Worth Lagoon, standard steel thresholds and hinges will pit and seize within two years. Salt air is relentless. We spec marine-grade stainless hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames on any waterfront door install, and we treat weatherstripping as a consumable that needs replacement every few years rather than a permanent feature. It costs more up front and lasts far longer. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will give you a specific hardware recommendation for your location.
No. West Palm Beach sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County for some permitting purposes, and any new outbuilding or detached ADU requires septic and well setback lines confirmed before the door pad is set against grade. If the door is installed first, it can change drainage on the open lot and force a re-grading plan that costs more than the permit would have. We check setbacks before we order anything. Call (786) 829-6722 for a site visit.
Because the quote likely did not include West Palm Beach’s HPB review, wind-borne debris compliance, or salt-air hardware upgrades. A door quote from a Boca Raton or Delray Beach contractor often comes in lower, and it is also likely illegal here. We quote the job as it must actually be built, complete with the permitting costs and the hardware spec your SoSo block requires. When you compare our line items to a competitor’s, look for what is missing, not just what is different. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will review any quote you have received.
Often no. A fogged door usually means a failed insulated glass seal, and in many West Palm Beach homes the glass unit can be replaced without removing the entire door slab. If the door is impact-rated, the replacement glass must also be impact-rated to maintain code compliance. We will tell you if the frame, hardware, and jamb are still sound and replace only what needs replacing. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will come assess it.
