AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach means working with the Town’s Architectural Commission, not against it. A typical entry or pivot door replacement on the island runs $4,800 to $18,000 depending on size, impact rating, and whether the property sits under ARCOM review. TruePane handles the full sequence: historic-preservation questions, Miami-Dade NOA impact glazing, marine-grade hardware, and an install crew that measures twice and registers both warranty layers in writing before leaving the driveway. If you’re in Palm Beach and need a door quoted, fetched, or fixed, call (561) 349-4826.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that has not changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Four-plus decades of glazing craft runs through every install we do on the island. Palm Beach homeowners tend to keep their houses for twenty, thirty, sometimes fifty years. They remember the contractor who left a door that binds in July. We build our reputation the other direction.
Our Door Installation team works from the Miami coordinating office, but the crews know Palm Beach street by street. We pull original 1920s architectural drawings from the Town’s historic archive before specifying a profile. We sit through ARCOM review cycles, because that is not bureaucracy to us; it is the reason the island looks the way it does. When a homeowner on South Ocean Boulevard or Clarke Avenue calls, they get a live person, every time, day or night, at (561) 349-4826.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That matters in Palm Beach because a door order often starts with the manufacturer’s engineering department, not a showroom. We put quotes side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, and the price is fixed in writing before anything goes to fabrication.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door on a Palm Beach estate is not a commodity. It is the first thing a visitor meets, and on a Mizner-era home, it carries the weight of the original design. We install custom stile-and-rail, bronze-framed, and wood entry doors sized to the opening as-built, not to a standard 36×80 spec. Every unit is impact-rated and every install starts with a full jamb inspection. Salt air on the Intracoastal side of South County Road eats standard hardware fast, so we specify marine-grade stainless or bronze hinges and thresholds from the start.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors in Palm Beach typically connect interior rooms to loggias, courtyards, or pool terraces. The wind-load requirement on a barrier island is the highest in the county, and a double door has to carry that load across two leaves and a center astragal without deflection. We specify reinforced jambs, multi-point locks, and Miami-Dade NOA-rated glazing on every pair. For ARCOM-reviewed properties, we match the original muntin profile and frame depth so the door reads as the architect intended.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding doors open a room to the Atlantic breeze, but only if the track system, rollers, and panels are engineered for coastal exposure. Standard aluminum track corrodes within five years on Palm Beach. We use marine-grade track, stainless rollers, and impact-rated panels that stack clean without binding. The hardware is ordered with the door, not picked off a shelf, and the lead time is part of the quote you see before you sign.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door is the signature of high-end Palm Beach construction. The hinge point is offset, the slab is heavy, and the pivot mechanism has to hold true under wind, humidity, and salt. On Clarke Avenue, our crew replaced a rusted original steel casement entry with a custom bronze-framed, impact-rated pivot door that matched the depth and arch of the 1920s Mizner opening. We pulled the original architectural drawings from the Town’s historic archive, specified a marine-grade stainless jamb and pivot hardware for salt-spray exposure, and coordinated with the architect to get ARCOM approval before the long-lead glass order went to fabrication. That is the standard. If the pivot is not true on final swing test, the job is not done.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We install and service doors from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. These three lines matter on the island because they carry the Miami-Dade NOA ratings the Town’s wind-load review requires, and they offer the narrow frame depths that ARCOM will actually approve on contributing Mediterranean Revival properties. We stock replacement hardware, thresholds, and weather stripping for these lines, so a schedule issue does not stall your project while a part crawls from a regional warehouse. When you call about a door, we know what we are looking at.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM denial on the first submittal. A proposed impact door with a visible vinyl frame or a muntin profile that does not match the original 1920s steel casement gets rejected. That reset costs six to eight weeks and restarts the design clock. We pre-coordinate with the design reviewer before the permit lands.
- Aluminum hardware corroding in under five years. Direct Atlantic salt spray on both ocean and Intracoastal exposures attacks hinges, thresholds, and weep systems. Jamb seizure and sash misalignment follow. We specify bronze or marine-grade stainless on every coastal install.
- A non-impact door failing wind-load review. A door rated below the highest Miami-Dade NOA threshold may pass a basic building inspection somewhere inland and fail in Palm Beach. The difference can trigger an insurance rejection that stalls the entire project. We only specify doors that meet the island’s wind zone.
- Frames out of true on original openings. On 1920s and 1940s mansions, slabs have settled and rough openings are rarely square. A door ordered to blueprint dimensions binds on day one. We field-measure every opening twice, including reveal at top and bottom, before any order goes to the manufacturer.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach, FL
What you pay depends on what your opening demands. A standard impact-rated entry door in a non-contributing mid-century house on the island typically runs $4,800 to $8,500 installed. A custom Mizner-profile entry or swing door with bronze cladding and marine-grade hardware starts around $11,000 and can reach $22,000 on a wide opening. Pivot doors run higher still: $9,000 on the low end for a modest slab, and $18,000 to $35,000 for a large custom bronze or wood pivot with long-lead glass. Bifold and folding door systems for a loggia run $12,000 to $28,000 depending on panel count and track engineering.
Lead time drives the calendar, not labor. A custom impact door from PGT, CGI, or ES Windows is six to fourteen weeks once approved. We put the full price in writing before ordering, so the quote you sign is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach
Yes, if your property is a contributing structure or landmark, the Town’s Architectural Commission must approve the door profile, frame depth, and muntin pattern before you order anything. Submitting a standard vinyl impact door to a Mizner-era estate review is typically an automatic denial. We pull the original architectural drawings from the Town’s historic archive, prepare the submittal package, and coordinate with your architect or designer before the permit application goes in. The approval timeline adds two to six weeks, so start early. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence for your address.
Because Palm Beach is a different jurisdiction with a design review standard that does not exist in West Palm Beach. ARCOM will reject a door that visibly alters the character of a contributing Mediterranean Revival facade, and a standard fiberglass door with a wide, modern frame almost always does that. The Town looks at frame depth, muntin profile, and color from the street. We specify custom profiles from PGT, CGI, or ES Windows that carry the full Miami-Dade NOA rating but echo the original steel-casement proportions. The price is higher and the lead time is longer, but it is the only path through review on a contributing property. We quote it in writing before anything is ordered.
Marine-grade stainless steel or bronze is the minimum on the Intracoastal side. Standard aluminum hinges, thresholds, and weep systems corrode within five years of direct salt spray, and the failure shows up as a jamb that seizes or a sash that will not align. We specify 316 stainless or solid bronze hardware on every coastal door install, and we register the manufacturer warranty on that hardware in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. It costs more up front; it means you are not calling us in five years to replace seized hinges at full price. Call (561) 349-4826 for a written quote.
At least sixteen to twenty weeks. A custom pivot door with impact glass and an ARCOM-required profile runs six to fourteen weeks at fabrication once the order is approved, and add two to six weeks for design review on a contributing property. If you want the door installed before the winter residents return in November, start the process in June or early July. We coordinate the long-lead order, the ARCOM submittal, and the install date so you are not caught mid-season with a boarded opening. Call (561) 349-4826 early; a live person answers, not a call center.
Yes. We have done exactly that on Clarke Avenue, El Bravo Way, and other contributing properties across the island. The key is starting from the original architectural drawings, not a catalog page. Arch radius, frame depth, and muntin pattern all carry through, while the glazing is impact-rated to the highest Miami-Dade standard. The price for a custom arched impact door in Palm Beach starts around $12,000 and runs to $30,000 or more depending on size, material, and hardware. We put the full specification in writing before the order goes to fabrication. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll come measure your opening.
Door Installation in Palm Beach is a coordination job above all: ARCOM approval, impact rating, marine-grade hardware, and a fabrication schedule measured in weeks. We manage the sequence and stand behind the result with the Done Right Promise and both warranty layers registered in writing. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule a free estimate.
