AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Wellington
Door installation in Wellington runs $900-$2,800 for a standard single entry door and $3,500-$9,500 for impact-rated French or sliding units, with custom equestrian-scale openings landing higher. Most Wellington jobs take one day once the door arrives; the estimate is free and the line items are in writing before anyone lifts a tool. If you’re calling from Olympia, Versailles, or out near Palm Beach Polo, you already know the variables: wind-load specs, HOA sightlines, and a house that was built when single-pane aluminum was standard. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk the opening with you.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve replaced enough doors on Wellington’s CBS ranches and two-story block homes to know what we’re going to find behind the casing before we pull it. The conversations we have with homeowners here run a certain way: a 1990s French door with fogged sidelights, a hollow-core front slab that swells in August, a sliding patio door that binds after every summer rain. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently, and that’s the standard our technicians carry into every Wellington job.
Our Door Installation team works in this part of Palm Beach County every week. We know the CBS substrate, we know the HOA boards, and we know that a door on a graded acreage lot needs flashing and slope work that a coastal condo job never asks for. When a Wellington customer calls, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. That’s been true since 2008 across our communities, and it’s true at (561) 349-4826 right now.
Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
Entry & Swing Doors
A front entry door in Wellington does two jobs at once: it has to hold a Square D latch against a summer storm and it has to satisfy an HOA that notices hardware finish before wind rating. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and set the new slab plumb against the CBS jamb so it doesn’t sag toward the latch side in three years. Standard in-swing entry installs in Wellington run $900-$2,800 depending on slab material, glazing, and hardware.
Double & French Doors
French doors are the most common retrofit we do in Wellington’s 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods, and the failure pattern is consistent: the original units were built with non-impact glazing, the insulated glass seals failed, and the bottom rails swelled against the slab. We reset the threshold with proper flashing tape lapped over the CBS substrate per Palm Beach County’s current retrofit detail. A pair of impact-rated French doors in Wellington typically runs $3,500-$7,800 installed, with custom sizing and transoms pushing higher.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Wellington’s indoor-outdoor living pattern, especially on the larger lots, makes bifold and folding doors a frequent request. The difference between a folding door that tracks true for fifteen years and one that binds in two seasons is how the header is carried and how the track is flashed. We carry the load across the opening with proper structural work, not shims and hope. Expect $6,000-$14,000 for a four-panel impact-rated folding door in this area, with width and finish driving the range.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are the current conversation in Palm Beach Polo and the newer custom builds. They’re heavier than a hinge door, they need a floor closer and a jamb that can hold a 300-pound slab, and they fail fast if the pivot hardware isn’t set dead level. We’ve installed enough of them in Wellington to know that the real cost driver isn’t the door itself, it’s the preparation. A pivot entry in Wellington runs $4,500-$12,000, and the HOA review is its own step. We handle that with you, not around you.
We also set storm doors, arched and fully custom units, and anything a builder drew on a napkin. If it opens and closes, we can make it open and close for twenty years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Wellington’s wind-borne debris region we lean on the ones that hold up: PGT and CGI for impact-rated slabs and sashes, and ES Windows for the custom and architectural work. We stock common weatherstripping, rollers, and latch sets for these lines so a Tuesday service call doesn’t turn into a three-week wait. When you call for a quote, we put manufacturer options side by side on paper, with both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every door we set in Wellington.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Non-impact doors on permitted change-outs. Palm Beach County requires FL-approved impact glazing on every permitted opening. We’ve seen homeowners buy a beautiful standard door, pull the permit, and get flagged at inspection. The fix is a full tear-out and a second door purchase. We scope code compliance before the quote, not after the install.
- Fogged sidelights on 1990s French doors. The original insulated glass units lose their argon, moisture gets between the panes, and the whole jamb has to come out to fix it properly. In Versailles we replaced a failing Jeld-Wen French door on a CBS ranch where both sidelights had fogged. We pulled the jamb, reset the new impact-rated glazing with flashing tape lapped over the block, and it passed HOA inspection first round.
- Septic setbacks on acreage lots. Wellington’s equestrian and larger lots often have septic tanks and drain fields with a required 10-foot clearance. A new door or landing placed within that setback triggers a redesign or a variance. We check the survey before we quote, which saves you money before you’ve spent any.
- Threshold rot from graded open lots. Wellington’s summer rains pond against door thresholds on flat or poorly graded lots. Bottom rails rust out within two seasons. We slope the landing and flash the threshold so water moves away from the door, not into it.

FAQs - Door Installation in Wellington
Palm Beach Polo’s architectural review board approves impact-rated doors with traditional sightlines: raised panel or flat slab in neutral finishes, clear or low-E glass with no tint, and hardware in oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, or matte black. They reject pivot doors with non-conforming latch styles and oversized doors with sightlines that break the street view. We submit the door spec and finish schedule to the board before install so you’re not refitting after the fact. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk your spec against the current review standards.
Wellington’s larger lots usually have septic tanks and drain fields, and Palm Beach County requires a 10-foot setback from any structure, landing, or deck. If a new door swings out over that line or a landing sits within the clearance, the county flags it and you’re redesigning. We pull the survey and mark setbacks before quoting so the door goes where it’s allowed the first time. Estimates are free at (561) 349-4826.
You need an impact-rated door on any permitted opening in Wellington. Palm Beach County lies in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so standard insulated doors fail code on a permitted replacement. Wellington is not in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so standard Florida Product Approval (FL number) impact doors suffice, which keeps pricing lower than a Miami-Dade NOA unit would run. Call (561) 349-4826 for exact numbers on your opening.
Custom barn-style sliders in Mallet Hill and the surrounding equestrian corridor are usually oversized units ordered from out-of-state suppliers, and last-mile delivery often needs a crane rather than a pickup. The door is too wide for a standard liftgate, and the access roads through the estates complicate the drop. We coordinate the crane, the supplier, and the HOA access rules before the door ever leaves the factory. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll scope the whole delivery path with you.
The original French doors on Wellington’s 1990s CBS homes were built with insulated glass units that lose their argon seal after 15 to 20 years of South Florida heat and humidity cycling. Once the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and the only real fix is replacing the glazing or the entire door. In Versailles we see this constantly. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll tell you whether you need new glass or a new door, with a written quote either way.
