AfterEntry & Swing Doors in Riviera Beach, FL
Entry and swing door replacement in Riviera Beach typically costs between $1,500 and $5,500 per unit, depending on the material, impact-rating requirements, and whether the installation involves a simple slab swap or a full-frame replacement. Because Riviera Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, the hardware, frame anchoring, and door material must meet strict Florida building codes to ensure your home remains secure and energy-efficient. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we find that most door issues in our area stem from improper sealing against the coastal humidity or the use of hardware that is not rated for salt-air corrosion. Our Door Installation services address these specific coastal challenges. When we install a door, we follow the Keystone Standard, which means we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
Your front door is the first line of defense for your family and your property. If you have noticed that your door is binding in the summer heat, the sweep is no longer touching the threshold, or the hardware is showing signs of salt-air pitting, it is time to have a professional look at the frame. You can reach us at (786) 829-6722 to schedule an estimate. We are a locally rooted company, founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, and we believe that if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

When You Need Entry & Swing Doors
Homeowners in Riviera Beach often wait too long to address door issues because they assume a draft or a slightly sticking door is just part of living near the coast. However, these are often symptoms of deeper structural issues or hardware degradation that will not improve on their own. We look for these specific indicators when we visit your home:
- Binding or Rubbing: If you have to lift, pull, or shoulder your door to get it to latch, the door frame has likely shifted or the hinges have sagged. In our climate, wood frames can absorb moisture and swell, causing the door to bind in the frame.
- Light Gaps: If you can see daylight around the perimeter of your closed door, you have lost your weather seal. This is an invitation for water intrusion during our heavy summer rains, which can lead to rot in your subfloor.
- Corroded Hardware: If your handles, locks, or hinges are pitted or turning green, they have succumbed to the salt air. We replace these with marine-grade stainless steel hardware that is built to last in the Riviera Beach environment.
- Delamination or Peeling: If the skin of your fiberglass or steel door is bubbling or peeling, the structural integrity of the door is compromised. This often happens on doors facing the direct sun for most of the day.
- Water Intrusion at the Threshold: If you notice dampness or carpet staining inside your foyer after a storm, your threshold seal or the door sweep has failed. We address this by ensuring the new door is installed with the correct slope and high-quality flashing.
Our Entry & Swing Doors Process
We do not use a franchise playbook. Our process is rooted in the craft of glazing and carpentry, designed to ensure your new door operates correctly for years to come. Dale Kessler established our methods based on decades of seeing what happens when corners are cut. Here is how we handle your installation:
- Detailed Measurement and Inspection: We arrive at your home to measure every opening twice. We do not just measure the door; we inspect the rough opening, the condition of the wall studs, and the integrity of the existing subfloor. If there is hidden rot from a previous leak, we identify it before we order your new door.
- Side-by-Side Quote Presentation: We bring samples and manufacturer literature for the lines we trust, such as Andersen, Pella, and Marvin. You will see the pricing for different options clearly on paper, allowing you to compare impact-rated fiberglass against steel or other high-performance materials without any surprise line items.
- Preparation and Protection: Before we begin removing the old unit, we protect your flooring and interior finishes. We treat your home the way we would treat our own mothers’ homes.
- Precision Installation: We install the new door unit, ensuring the frame is perfectly plumb, level, and square. In a house that has settled over twenty years, this requires careful shimming. We anchor the frame to the structure according to the manufacturer’s engineering specifications for Florida hurricane zones.
- Sealing and Finishing: We apply high-performance flashing and sealants to prevent water infiltration. We test the door for smooth operation, ensuring the latch engages without effort and the sweep sits perfectly against the threshold.
- Warranty Registration: We register both manufacturer warranty layers for you, in writing, before we leave. This is the Keystone Standard. You will have the documentation in your hands, so you never have to fight for coverage.

FAQs - Entry & Swing Doors
Can you replace my door in a single day?
Most standard entry door replacements are completed in a single day. We arrive with the new unit, remove the old door and frame, prepare the opening, install the new door, and finish the trim work before we leave. If your project involves Arched & Custom Doors or structural repairs, we will inform you of the timeline during your estimate.
Is it better to replace the door slab or the whole unit?
In the Riviera Beach climate, we almost always recommend replacing the entire pre-hung unit rather than just the slab. A pre-hung unit includes the frame, which allows us to ensure the hinges are perfectly aligned, the weather stripping is continuous, and the threshold is set to keep water out. Replacing just the slab often leads to alignment issues if your existing frame has settled or warped over time. Call (786) 829-6722 if you want an expert opinion on your specific doorway.
Does my new door need to be impact-rated?
If you live in a high-velocity hurricane zone, local building codes typically require entry doors to meet specific impact ratings. These doors are designed to withstand high winds and wind-borne debris without breaching. We specialize in installing code-compliant impact doors and Storm Doors that keep your home secure during hurricane season. If you are unsure about your home’s requirements, we can verify them during our inspection.
What is the Done Right Promise?
The Done Right Promise is our commitment that if your door is not functioning exactly as it should within 90 days of installation, we will make it right. If the door binds, the sweep needs adjustment, or the latch becomes stiff, we come back and fix it. There is no arguing, no paperwork fights, and no hidden fine print. We stand behind our workmanship because we plan to be in town for the next thirty years.
Replacing an entry door is a significant commitment to your home’s security and energy efficiency. We encourage you to look for a contractor who registers warranties in writing and stands behind their work with a clear, documented promise. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we are proud to serve Riviera Beach with the same care and precision we have used since 2008. Whether you need a simple replacement, Pivot Doors, or a complex impact-rated system, we are here to help. You can reach our team at (786) 829-6722 to discuss your project or to request a free estimate.
