Impact French doors in Royal Palm Beach typically run $4,200 to $9,800 installed, with the average homeowner paying around $6,500 for a standard 72-by-80 opening.

Why the Cost Runs Higher in Royal Palm Beach Than You’d Guess
Royal Palm Beach throws a specific set of curves at impact French door pricing that you won’t see in West Palm Beach or Wellington. The village’s planned-community boom from the late 1960s through the 1990s left thousands of single-story CBS ranch homes with original single-pane aluminum sliders, and those openings were never built to modern impact-door dimensions. Most of the subdivisions here also have HOAs with architectural review committees, which means every replacement door needs both a Palm Beach County building permit and HOA approval before the first screw comes out. That dual-track process adds a week or two to the timeline and a $150 to $450 line item in permit and review fees, depending on the subdivision.
We see the same cost surprise in the older Royal Palm Beach neighborhoods built before 1985, where rear Florida rooms were often enclosed with aluminum jalousie frames. Those rough openings are non-standard widths. A standard impact French door won’t drop in without framing modifications, and once you’re modifying the opening, you’re adding $800 to $2,200 on top of the door itself. Homeowners who priced the job elsewhere with a square-measurement estimate don’t find out about that until the job is already underway. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and tell you about the framing work before you sign anything.
Price Breakdown for Impact French Doors in Royal Palm Beach
Here’s what the numbers actually look like for a standard two-panel impact French door, installed in an existing opening with no major framing work:
| Line Item | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Impact-rated French door unit (PGT or CGI, standard 72×80) | $2,800 - $5,400 |
| Therma-Tru or ViewLux impact door unit | $3,200 - $6,200 |
| Installation labor (existing opening, no reframing) | $900 - $1,800 |
| Framing modification for non-standard jalousie or slider openings | $800 - $2,200 |
| County permit and HOA review fees | $150 - $450 |
| Trim, hardware, and finish work | $400 - $900 |
| Total installed (typical range) | $4,200 - $9,800 |
Those are the real numbers we quote in Royal Palm Beach, not national averages. The spread comes down to three things: the manufacturer line you choose, what your HOA will approve, and whether your original opening was built for the door you want.
The inland position helps on one front. Royal Palm Beach doesn’t suffer the chronic salt-air corrosion you see in oceanside Palm Beach County communities, so doors and seals hold up longer here. But the daily summer convective storms bake vinyl weatherstripping and seals faster than people expect, and that’s exactly why we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. If a seal fails down the road, you’ll know who to call and what’s covered, in writing.
What Drives a Good Install Beyond the Price
The door itself is half the job. The other half is whether it’s set square, sealed correctly, and hung to open without binding in August humidity. Dale Kessler grew up off Crestwood Boulevard and has spent the better part of three decades setting and sealing windows and doors across Palm Beach County, and he started TruePane because he watched his father spend twenty years in general contracting learning the same lesson: a bad door installation costs twice what a good one does. Our rule is simple. If it is not sealed right, the next storm will tell you.
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, among other lines, and we quote manufacturer options side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. No surprise line items on the bill. No second appointment left hanging. Most impact French door jobs here are completed in a single visit once the door arrives, and every job carries the Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
What to Expect from Permit and HOA Review
If you live in a Royal Palm Beach subdivision with an architectural review committee, the HOA approval step is not optional, and it’s not fast. Some committees meet once a month. That means the door you choose in April might not get installed until June if you’re not prepared for the timeline. We handle the paperwork with you, submit the drawings, and help you pick a door style and finish that your committee will typically approve. Most of our Royal Palm Beach customers are in homes built between 1970 and 1995, and we’ve walked hundreds of these approvals. We know what gets flagged and what sails through.

FAQs
A standard 72-by-80 impact French door installed in Royal Palm Beach runs $4,200 to $9,800, with mid-range units from PGT or CGI landing around $6,500 all-in. The exact number depends on your rough opening, HOA requirements, and the manufacturer line you choose. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free, line-item estimate on your specific door.
If the door frame is sound and the panel is intact, repairs like roller replacement, weatherstripping, or hinge adjustment run $250 to $700, which is far cheaper than a full replacement starting at $4,200. But once impact glass is compromised, the pane is not repairable and the door must be replaced to maintain hurricane protection and code compliance. We’ll tell you honestly which side you’re on when we look at it, and we quote both options on paper.
Yes, we install impact French doors throughout Royal Palm Beach’s HOA-governed subdivisions, including the older CBS ranch communities where architectural review committees must approve the door style and finish.

A standard two-panel impact French door in an existing, square opening is installed in one day, typically six to eight hours on site. If your opening requires framing modification from an old jalousie or slider configuration, budget two days.

What Neighbors Say About TruePane Windows & Doors
What Our Customers Say
"Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G.
