Door Installation in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach

Door installation in Palm Beach runs somewhere around $850 to $4,800 for most entry and French door replacements, and the final number depends on two things that rarely show up on a mainland quote: whether your home is on a landmark-designated lot and exactly how much salt damage the framing has absorbed over the years. TruePane handles both sides of that equation every week. If you’re off South County Road, along North Lake Trail, or tucked into a Mizner-era estate near the Everglades Club, call (386) 251-6745 and a live person will answer, not a voicemail tree.

Our Door Installation team knows Palm Beach well enough to predict what the opening will look like before we pull the first piece of trim. We have to. On a barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, doors that looked fine on the surface are often hiding rot, corroded hardware, or framing that no longer meets current wind-load code once the walls are opened.

We arrive with the right tools, the right local knowledge, and a written quote that includes the permit and site-specific conditions in the contract. No verbal assurance. No “we’ll figure it out when we open it.” Just a square deal, on paper.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company

Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard traveled well from our Miami-area dispatch office to Palm Beach, where our crews now work on a regular basis. We keep a live phone line answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and when a Palm Beach homeowner calls about a double French door that won’t latch after a storm line passes through, we hear from them directly.

Local reputation in Palm Beach matters more than anywhere we work, because the town is small and word travels through the barrier island quickly. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in a customer’s home the way they would work in their own mother’s. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard Dale set on day one. When a Landmarks Preservation Commission inspector sees our work on a designated property, they see divided-light patterns matched, muntin profiles reproduced, and coral-stone surrounds left clean and intact.

Response time to Palm Beach is coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, with crews scheduled locally so we’re not making you wait on a truck from Dade County. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, and stand behind the work with our Done Right Promise.

Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach

Every door we install in Palm Beach has to clear two hurdles: Florida Building Code wind-load requirements and, on any designated historic property, the Landmarks Preservation Commission review. We handle both. Here’s how we approach the four most common door jobs on the island.

Entry & Swing Doors

Entry door installation in Palm Beach generally runs $850 to $2,900 depending on material, size, and whether the opening needs reframing. The salt-air exposure on the island means we recommend stainless hardware and properly flashed thresholds as standard, not upgrades. Corroded hinge screws and seized lock cylinders are the first signs a door is pulling away from its jamb and losing its wind-load rating. We catch that before it fails.

Double & French Doors

A double French door replacement in Palm Beach runs roughly $2,200 to $6,800 for impact-rated units, though custom arch work pushes beyond that. The older Mediterranean Revival estates along South Ocean Boulevard and down toward Phipps Plaza often have oversized French casements with coral-stone surrounds that standard door units can’t fit. We measure every opening twice, then order the doors to match, including divided-light patterns where the town requires it. On a landmark-designated Mizner-era estate, our crew removed an original arched double French door with rot in the jamb and failed flashing tape. The coral-stone surround and divided-light pattern meant we ordered custom impact-rated doors from a fabricator who matched the muntin profile exactly, then replaced the undersized framing and installed new stainless hardware and flashing before the Landmarks Preservation Commission inspector signed off. No stop-work order. No surprise.

Bifold & Folding Doors

Bifold and folding door installation in Palm Beach typically falls between $3,000 and $9,500, with higher-end aluminum or impact-rated systems landing above that. These are popular on newer waterfront builds and renovations where the owner wants the threshold to disappear between the living space and a patio facing the Intracoastal. The dual salt-air exposure demands careful attention to track drainage, stainless rollers, and weep-hole placement so the track doesn’t turn into a corrosion bed inside two seasons.

Pivot Doors

Pivot door installation runs $5,000 to $12,000 or more in Palm Beach depending on size, material, and whether the door is on a custom home or a newer spec build along the North End. These doors are heavy, often eight feet tall or better, and they rely on top and bottom pivot hardware precisely aligned. Anchoring into the floor slab and header of an older home means verifying the framing first. An undersized header will deflect under the weight, and that deflection shows up as a door that binds and a slab that takes wind water over time. We check all of it before we order the door.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. In Palm Beach we also work with specialty fabricators who produce CWS, ES Windows units built to replicate historic muntin profiles and true divided-light patterns. We keep accelerated parts access for Palm Beach customers through our South Florida network, which means hardware replacements and warranty callbacks don’t wait on a shipment from the Midwest. When a French door hinge fails on a coral-stone estate on Australian Avenue, we can usually have the correct replacement part in hand within days, not weeks.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

Palm Beach doors fail differently than doors in West Palm Beach, Greenacres, or Palm Beach Gardens. Opening up an older home here turns up the same four issues more than anything else:

• Corroded multi-point lock hardware and hinges from dual salt-air exposure. The Atlantic drives salt spray across the island while the Intracoastal adds reflected moisture from the west, so door hardware corrodes faster here than anywhere else in the county. Lock cylinders seize, hinge pins snap, and multi-point systems lose the engagement that holds a door against wind-load pressure. When we open a Palm Beach door, we expect to find stainless replacement hardware going in.
• Undersized or termite-damaged framing hidden behind old door units. Homes built in the 1920s through 1940s used dimensional lumber that often does not meet current Florida Building Code for header spans. Termite damage from years of ground contact and humid air makes it worse. Once the casing comes off and the opening is exposed, the framing inspection often triggers a structural upgrade and a permit revision. We write allowances into the contract for exactly this situation.
• Off-the-shelf impact doors on historic properties trigger stop-work orders. The Landmarks Preservation Commission requires designated properties to match original divided-light patterns, muntin profiles, and exterior paint colors. A contractor who shows up with a standard impact casement gets stopped before the first screw goes in. We maintain relationships with custom fabricators who build code-compliant, historically sympathetic units and we shepherd the dual permit and landmark approval process ourselves.
• Failed flashing and waterproofing at the threshold. Palm Beach gets some of the heaviest short-duration rain in South Florida, and a door with missing or deteriorated flashing tape channels that water straight into the subfloor and framing. By the time a homeowner notices the door binding or a musty smell near the jamb, the damage is usually well underway. We replace the flashing as standard on every door we touch here, whether the quote needs it or not.
