AfterTrusted Door Installation for Palm Beach Homeowners
Door installation in Palm Beach is not a trim-and-hang job. It means anchoring a solid barrier that stands up to salt air, hurricane season, and daily exposure to a climate that chews through cheap frames in five years. Winslow Windows & Doors has installed doors across Palm Beach since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, which means every hinge, threshold, and weather seal gets checked by someone who lives with the same storms you do. We install entry doors, hurricane-rated front doors, French and double doors, replacement doors, and storm doors from brands like PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru. Call (561) 831-7863 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
An Entry Door in Palm Beach does more than welcome guests. It is the first line of defense against wind-driven rain, and it is the one surface every visitor touches, which means it has to open smoothly, seal tightly, and look sharp under Florida sun. We install fiberglass, wood, and steel entry doors, but we steer Palm Beach homeowners toward materials that do not swell, rot, or fade in this specific humidity. Every entry door installation includes new weatherstripping, a properly shimmed and squared frame, and hardware that is adjusted so the deadbolt throws cleanly the first time.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
In Palm Beach, a front door is a structural component during code-named storms, not a decoration. We install Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors from PGT and CGI that are tested to withstand windborne debris far above what a standard door will survive. These doors carry a Florida Product Approval number, and we pull the permit and handle the inspection paperwork so your home stays in code compliance. The hardware matters as much as the slab: multi-point locks, reinforced jamb plates, and impact-rated glass lites are standard on the hurricane doors we install here.
French & Double Doors
French & Double Doors are the most common source of air leaks and alignment problems we see in Palm Beach homes, especially on older concrete slabs that have settled over decades. We install both hinged and fixed-panel French doors, and we handle the harder details: leveling each panel independently, adjusting the astragal so the two slabs meet flush, and installing a reinforced header above the opening. Double doors on an exterior wall need each leaf locked into position at top and bottom. We install flush bolts that anchor the passive panel to the frame and threshold, not just to each other.
Replacement Doors
A Replacement Doors job in Palm Beach almost always involves fixing what the original builder skipped. We remove old frames back to the rough opening, correct out-of-square jambs, and reflash the sill so water cannot wick into the subfloor. Then we install the new door on a properly sloped sill pan with backer rod and sealant rated for coastal conditions. We replace doors in stucco homes, CBS block construction, and wood-frame structures throughout Palm Beach, and we never reuse a rotted frame to save time.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm doors in Palm Beach are common on older homes where the original front door is solid but tired, and a full replacement is not in the budget this year. We install storm doors that carry their own impact rating or that fit behind an existing hurricane shutter track without interfering. An exterior door from Winslow comes with the same Done Right Promise as any other job: if it binds, drafts, or lets water through the sill, we come back and fix it. We also inspect the surrounding exterior wall for signs of termite damage before we anchor any new frame.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, which means we have direct access to factory specifications, impact certification documentation, and proper replacement hardware for doors from both brands. Palm Beach code enforcement recognizes PGT and CGI product approvals without hesitation, and we know how to install them so the permit inspection passes the first time. We install a significant number of PGT WinGuard and CGI Estate Collection doors every year in Palm Beach and along the barrier island.
We also install Therma-Tru entry doors, including their Classic-Craft and Pulse series, which give homeowners a wood-look door without the maintenance battle that real wood loses in this salt-heavy air. ViewLux doors come through our lineup as well, typically for homeowners who want a modern glass-forward look with an impact rating. Whether your door is PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, ViewLux, or any other make that is still structurally sound, our team can install it correctly, which is what actually determines how long it lasts.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- You can see daylight around the door from inside the house. That gap is not cosmetic. It means your weatherstripping has failed or the slab has sagged, and every hour of AC air escaping through that seam is money leaving through the frame. Palm Beach humidity also rides through those gaps and feeds mold in the door casing.
- The deadbolt requires lifting, pulling, or a hard slam to throw. A door that does not latch without effort is not just annoying, it is a break-in waiting. Many Palm Beach burglaries are opportunistic, and a door that can be shoulder-checked because the latch does not seat fully is an invitation.
- The bottom rail is soft, chipped, or darkened near the corners. In Palm Beach, that means water has been wicking up the door slab and into the wood or composite for months or years. Once the bottom rail rots, the door no longer holds the hinges or lockset properly, and the failure is structural, not cosmetic.
- Your electric bill climbs every July with no obvious cause. Old doors lose their seal, and in a cooling-heavy climate like Palm Beach, the HVAC system runs harder to fight air infiltration. If the door feels warm on the inside surface during summer afternoons, the door itself is conducting heat into the house.
- You have a single-pane glass insert or sidelight that fogs between the panes. That is a failed seal, and in a hurricane zone, a failed glass insert is also a wind-load weak point. Replacing the door as a full unit, with an impact-rated glass option, solves the fog and the wind rating at the same time.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
On-site measurement and opening inspection. We do not trust the old door size. Ed or one of our background-checked technicians measures the rough opening at three heights, checks the slab for level and plumb, and probes the sub-sill for rot or termite damage. This is where most cheap estimates get it wrong, because they assume the existing opening is square.
- 2
Product selection with code compliance in mind. We walk you through options that suit your exposure. On a Palm Beach oceanfront street, you need a higher design pressure rating than a house on the mainland, and we check the specific wind-zone requirements for your address. You see line-item pricing before anything is ordered.
- 3
Permit pulled and inspection scheduled. Palm Beach and surrounding municipalities require a permit for door replacement when the opening changes or when the door is impact-rated. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on the day. If the inspector flags something, we fix it and re-schedule at no charge.
- 4
Removal, rough-opening repair, and installation. We remove the old door and frame down to the rough opening, rebuild any rotted framing, and install the new unit on a sloped sill pan with proper flashing and backer rod. The new door is shimmed, squared, and anchored to the structure, not just screwed to the old jamb. Hardware is adjusted so the door swings freely and the deadbolt throws with two fingers.
- 5
Walkthrough, cleanup, and documentation. You walk the door with the installer and test the lock, the sweep, and the weatherstripping. We clean the work area, haul away the old door and frame, and leave you with the permit inspection report, product warranty registration, and the Winslow 36500-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Palm Beach?
A standard entry door replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $3,800 installed, depending on the slab material and hardware. A hurricane-rated PGT or CGI front door with impact glass usually lands between $3,500 and $7,500 installed, and a French or double door project tends to run $5,000 to $12,000 when you factor in a new header, wider rough opening, and impact-rated glass on both panels. Storm doors fall on the lower end, typically $800 to $2,500 installed.
What moves the price is the same set of variables on every job: the design pressure rating required for your specific Palm Beach address, whether the rough opening needs framing repair, what style of hardware and finish you choose, and whether the door has impact-rated glass or a standard lite. The cheapest way to overpay is to accept a vague one-line estimate, because that is where low-bid contractors pocket the difference on flashing, sill pans, and frame repair. We price everything on a line-item estimate, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. No change orders, no “unforeseen conditions” surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Palm Beach
Door installation is the process of removing an old exterior or interior door, preparing the rough opening, and anchoring a new pre-hung door unit into place so it is level, plumb, square, and properly sealed against weather. In Palm Beach, it also means meeting Florida wind-load requirements for exterior doors and pulling the appropriate permit. Winslow Windows & Doors has handled door installation in Palm Beach since 2011, including hurricane-rated units that need to pass county inspection.
A standard single entry door installation usually takes one day from removal to final hardware adjustment. Hurricane-rated doors, French doors, or any job that requires framing repair or a wider rough opening typically takes two to three days. The permit inspection adds a day or two depending on the municipality’s schedule, but we schedule it before we start the work whenever possible.
Standard entry door installation usually runs $1,800 to $3,800, impact-rated entry doors run $3,500 to $7,500, and French or double door projects typically run $5,000 to $12,000 depending on glass, hardware, and framing work. The exact price depends on your address’s wind zone, the condition of the rough opening, and the door you choose. We provide a free line-item estimate, and the number we give you is the number you pay. Call (561) 831-7863 for an exact quote.
Yes. Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru, and we install ViewLux as well. We order directly from factory specifications, understand each brand’s impact certification paperwork, and install these doors so they pass Palm Beach County inspections the first time. If you have a different brand that is not on our list, call us and we will tell you honestly whether the door can be properly installed and warrantied.
When a door is kicked in, blown out, or damaged to the point that the house cannot be secured, we treat it as an emergency and respond as quickly as possible. Our phone line is answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail system. Call (561) 831-7863 and explain what happened, and we will get a technician to your Palm Beach home to secure the opening and start the permanent fix.
Every door installation from Winslow Windows & Doors is covered under our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If the installation is not done right, we make it right, period. Product warranties from PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux are registered on your behalf, and we keep your installation documentation on file. If a hinge loosens, a sweep fails, or a door goes out of alignment within the covered period, call us and we come back.
Clear the area inside and outside the door by moving furniture, decor, and vehicles at least eight feet from the work zone. Remove anything hanging on the door itself, and plan for the door to be open for a few hours during the install. Keep pets in a separate room, and make sure the installer has access to power. We handle permits, haul-away, and cleanup, so there is nothing else you need to do except be home for the final walkthrough.
