AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Royal Palm Beach
A new entry or patio door in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $6,500 installed, depending on whether you need a stock door set into an existing opening or a custom impact-rated unit that requires reframing. Most Royal Palm Beach homes were built between 1970 and the mid-1990s, which means the original rough openings rarely match modern door sizes, and that single fact drives more of your cost than the door itself. We’ve been working in these subdivisions long enough to know what’s behind the stucco before we cut into it. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate from a crew that has done the hard version of this job many times.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We started as a glazier’s shop, not a marketing company. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Royal Palm Beach, that matters because the original aluminum sliders and jalousie frames in the pre-1985 housing stock were rarely square, plumb, or sized to anything you can buy off a shelf today.
Our Door Installation team has replaced doors in La Mancha, Counterpoint Estates, and the older sections off Crestwood Boulevard, so we already know the wall construction, the HOA committees, and the county inspectors you’ll be dealing with. Homeowners in Royal Palm Beach repeatedly tell us the same thing in reviews: we showed up when we said, the quote matched the bill, and the second visit wasn’t needed.
No regional call center. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dispatch and scheduling for Royal Palm Beach are coordinated from our South Florida office in Miami, but the crews working on your door are local, background-checked, and uniformed.
Our Door Installation Services in Royal Palm Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
Front entry doors in Royal Palm Beach take a beating from the daily late-afternoon thunderstorms that roll through from May to October. South-facing doors especially. We set entry doors with full perimeter flashing, sill pans, and weatherstripping rated to survive more than a couple of seasons of direct sun and driving rain. If your existing jamb has rot from years of that exposure, we catch it before the new door goes in, not after.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors are one of the most common replacements in the village because the original units in 1970s and 1980s CBS ranches sag badly at the meeting stile. If you live in a home built before Hurricane Andrew changed the code in 1994, those doors were not rated for anything close to the wind loads Palm Beach County requires today. We install impact-rated double doors that close tight and pass inspection the first time.
Storm Doors
A storm door makes sense on a lot of Royal Palm Beach homes, but it has to be vented properly, or you’ll trap heat between the doors and cook the finish off your entry door. We install storm doors that account for the full-sun western and southern exposures common in the village’s platted subdivisions. The difference is in the details, and we measure for those details.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are appearing in more Royal Palm Beach remodels as homeowners open up rear Florida rooms to patios. The catch is that the original opening usually wasn’t framed to carry the weight of a folding door system. We handle that framing work, the permit, and the HOA architectural review that goes with it.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
After years in this trade, the floors of Royal Palm Beach homes have taught us a few things. Here’s what turns up most often:
- Undersized rough openings in pre-1985 CBS homes. When a Royal Palm Beach home was framed with jalousie windows or narrow aluminum sliders, the rough opening often doesn’t match any stock impact door made today. Forcing a modern door into that opening is the fastest route to a jamb that flexes under wind load, and that means leaks and failed inspections.
- Skipped HOA architectural reviews. Most of Royal Palm Beach’s planned-unit developments have architectural review committees that must approve exterior door changes before the county will sign off. Skipping that step triggers a stop-work order, and you lose weeks. We’ve seen it happen to homeowners who hired outside contractors unfamiliar with the village’s dual-track process.
- South-facing weatherstripping that rots early. Stock weatherstripping on a south or southwest entry door in Royal Palm Beach degrades within two summers of intense convective storms. The seal fails, the door starts to bind, and by July the humidity gets in. We spec materials for the actual exposure, not whatever comes in the box.
- Florida rooms with now-banned jalousie windows. In older Royal Palm Beach subdivisions, rear Florida rooms and screen enclosures were finished with aluminum jalousie windows that don’t meet current code. When a door in one of those rooms needs replacing, the opening often requires custom sizing or full rough-opening reconstruction, which is a cost nobody figures into their first quote.
Why Royal Palm Beach Door Replacements Cost More Than You Expect
Royal Palm Beach’s pre-1985 subdivisions are dotted with rear Florida rooms enclosed in now-banned jalousie windows. That matters to your door project because the rough openings around those old jalousie frames are non-standard widths. When a door in or near one of those rooms needs replacing, you’re often not looking at a simple swap. You’re looking at custom-sized impact units or full rough-opening reconstruction to bring the opening into compliance with Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code. It’s a real cost, and it’s one homeowners rarely anticipate when they price the job elsewhere. We write it into the estimate up front, not as a surprise change order.
In the La Mancha subdivision off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, our crew replaced a corroding aluminum sliding door on a 1979 CBS ranch where the original rough opening was 2.5 inches narrower than any stock impact-rated unit. We ended up reframing the jamb and installing a custom Andersen double-hung impact door with low-E glass and argon fill. County permit and HOA ARC approval were handled before we touched the wall. That’s how the job gets done right here.

FAQs - Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach
Royal Palm Beach sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, so a county building permit is required for any exterior door that must meet impact standards, and nearly all of the village’s subdivisions are planned unit developments with architectural review committees that must approve changes to exterior doors before work starts. If you skip the HOA step, the county won’t finalize the permit and the HOA can issue a stop-work order and force you to re-submit, which delays the job by weeks and can add administrative fines on top of the original cost. We handle both tracks at the same time. Call (386) 251-6745 and we’ll walk you through the exact process for your subdivision.
Yes, you can replace only the door, but understand that jalousie windows are no longer allowed under current Florida code, so if the door opening is adjacent to or framed like those jalousie openings, the rough opening may not match any stock door. We can install the door correctly while leaving the existing windows in place, but you’ll likely need a custom-sized unit or reframing around the door opening. If you ever enclose or renovate that Florida room later, those windows will have to go. For an exact quote on your specific room, call (386) 251-6745.
Royal Palm Beach’s pre-1985 housing stock was built with aluminum slider and jalousie frames that left non-standard rough openings, so door replacement here often requires reframing, custom sizing, or both. Wellington has a lot of newer construction with standardized openings, so the same door costs less to install there. You’re not being overcharged in Royal Palm Beach; your house simply has old framing that a new door has to fit into. We quote the actual work your wall requires, not a generic number.
Look at the door from both sides, check whether the top and bottom gaps are even when the door is closed, and note any sticking, dragging, or daylight visible around the edges. Then look at the condition of the frame itself, especially the bottom corners where water pools after a storm. If you can see rot, rust, or cracking stucco around the frame, tell us. We’ll still do our own inspection and measurements, but your notes help us give you a quote that’s close to the final number on the first visit.
When we open a wall and find conditions we couldn’t see from the outside, we stop, show you what’s there, and give you a written price for the added work before we proceed. That price is an allowance we discuss during the original estimate, so the extra work is never a surprise line item. You approve it, we do it, and the bill matches what you signed. That’s been our practice since 2008, and it’s the only way we work in Royal Palm Beach.
