Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Loxahatchee Groves’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’re the Door Installation company homeowners out here call after a bad experience, not before their first bid. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 so second-generation glazier standards stayed on the truck, not in a sales deck. Around Loxahatchee Groves, that means our technicians show up in uniform, measure every opening twice, and put side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before you sign anything.
Our local reputation in Loxahatchee Groves is built on the jobs that reveal what’s behind the stucco. Homeowners here have lived in their houses for twenty, thirty, forty years. They know their doors are original. They’ve felt the drafts and fought the sticking frames. What they want is a company that will still answer the phone five years after the install, and that’s what we’ve been doing since 2008 here in South Florida. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. If you call (561) 349-4826 at 9 p.m. about a door that won’t close, you get a person. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every job. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule that names the company and governs every install we do in Loxahatchee Groves.
Our Door Installation Services in Loxahatchee Groves
Entry & Swing Doors
Most of the entry doors on 1970s and 1980s CBS ranches in Loxahatchee Groves are hollow-core slabs with steel frames that have been rusting behind stucco for decades. They look sound until you take the casing off. We replace them with properly anchored impact-rated doors sized to the existing masonry opening, and when the rough opening is non-standard, we field-fabricate the header and pull the permit update the same day. That’s the difference between a door that passes inspection and one that gets flagged.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors onto patios and pool decks are common on the ranch homes stretched along Okeechobee Boulevard and the numbered roads running north. The original aluminum sliders that came with these houses have no impact rating and almost no weather sealing left, so many homeowners upgrade to Sliding & Patio Doors - Loxahatchee Groves options instead. A replacement set of French doors with impact glass, installed with masonry anchors into the CBS block, runs $4,800 to $11,000 out here depending on width and manufacturer. We quote Andersen, PGT, and ES Windows side by side so you can see the real cost difference on paper.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Some Loxahatchee Groves homeowners are converting formal living rooms into indoor-outdoor spaces that open onto the acreage in back. Bifold and folding door systems need a structural header that a 1970s ranch was never built with. We inspect the wall first, write the allowance for any header or wiring work into the contract, and get your signed approval before we touch a stud. No surprise line items. No second appointment left hanging.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door on an older CBS wall is a different animal than a swing door. The weight sits on a floor pivot and top anchor instead of butt hinges, which means the concrete slab and overhead header both need to carry load they weren’t designed for. We’ve done enough of these on larger Loxahatchee Groves renovations to tell you in the estimate exactly what reinforcing the opening will take. You’ll know before we start.
Storm Doors
Storm doors on the front of a ranch home out here take direct afternoon sun and hurricane-season rain. The high-humidity, high-rainfall corridor along the Loxahatchee watershed means cheap storm doors rot out at the bottom corners within a few seasons. We install storm doors with reinforced corners and proper drip flashing, and we stand behind the workmanship for 90 days through our Done Right Promise.
Arched & Custom Doors
Some of the early CBS homes in Loxahatchee Groves have arched openings, especially on front entries. Custom arched doors are a full craft job: templating the curve, ordering the slab, and fabricating the frame in place. We do them right, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loxahatchee Groves
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, Loxahatchee Groves Cgi service, and ES Windows. For Loxahatchee Groves customers, we recommend American-made impact lines that hold up to western Palm Beach County humidity. Andersen, PGT, and ES Windows are the three we quote most often out here because their impact-rated door lines handle the open terrain wind loads and the saturated soil conditions around rough openings. We stock common hardware and weatherstripping for these lines locally, which means faster turnaround when a part needs replacing.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Loxahatchee Groves Homes
- Corroded steel frames hidden behind stucco. The frame looks fine from the outside, but the anchor bite is gone. When we pull the casing, the frame often crumbles in our hands. A new impact-rated door needs a full-frame tear-out, not a retrofit insert, because the old frame can’t hold the weight.
- Rotted bottom plates from saturated soil wicking up. Standing water is a year-round condition on many of these agricultural lots. The moisture wicks up through the slab and rots the wood bottom plate under the door. That means framing repair before the new door goes in.
- Non-standard rough openings on room additions. 1970s additions out here were built with whatever was on the truck. The rough opening for the door is often an inch or two off from any standard pre-hung size. We field-fabricate the header and pull the permit revision the same day.
- Jalousie doors on barn-adjacent mudrooms that can’t be repaired. Jalousie and louvered doors cannot meet current wind-borne debris requirements in Palm Beach County. They have to come out completely, not get patched. This is a full-frame replacement job, and it’s one of the most common calls we get in Loxahatchee Groves.
Pricing for Door Installation in Loxahatchee Groves, FL
Let’s talk straight about what doors cost out here. A standard pre-hung entry door, non-impact, runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed depending on size and material. An impact-rated entry door with a full-frame tear-out on a CBS wall runs $3,500 to $7,500. Double French doors with impact glass run $4,800 to $11,000. Custom arched or pivot doors run $6,000 to $15,000 and up depending on the opening and hardware.
What moves the price in Loxahatchee Groves specifically is what’s behind the stucco: rotted bottom plates, corroded frames, outdated wiring inside the wall, and non-standard openings that need field-fabricated headers. That’s why we inspect first and write allowances into the contract instead of springing them on you mid-job. Every estimate is free, and every line item is on paper before you sign. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule yours.

What Opening an Old Loxahatchee Groves Wall Actually Turns Up
Here’s what nobody tells you before the first bid: on Loxahatchee Groves’ minimum-1.25-acre agricultural lots, the flat, open terrain has no windbreaks. Exterior doors on original 1970s to 90s CBS ranches were often never retrofitted with Energy-Efficient Windows in Loxahatchee Groves solutions, and many still have hollow-core slabs with corroded frames that fail Palm Beach County’s current wind-borne debris code once any wall is opened. So the door quote you got over the phone isn’t the door quote you’ll have after inspection. And that’s the honest truth.
This is the single biggest reason a door replacement quote moves out here. Once the wall is open, you find outdated wiring running through the jamb where the new anchor needs to go. You find a steel frame that has lost its bite to the block. You find a bottom plate that’s been wicking groundwater for thirty years and has turned to pulp. The permit triggers a code upgrade the original wall never met. We handle it a specific way: inspection first, allowances written into the contract in plain numbers, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
On C Road, our crew pulled a rusted-out aluminum slider from a 1980s CBS ranch and found the rough opening had no flashing tape and a rotted bottom plate from decades of saturated soil wicking up. We replaced it with an Andersen impact-rated French door using masonry anchors, rewrote the permit scope the same day, and got the homeowner’s signed change order before touching the adjacent jamb. That’s how we work out here. You’ll know what you’re paying for before we spend your money on it.

FAQs - Door Installation in Loxahatchee Groves
The original steel door frames cast into 1970s and 1980s CBS walls have been corroding behind stucco for decades in this humid corridor, and they’ve often lost their anchor bite to the masonry. A retrofit insert relies on the existing frame to carry the new door, and on many Loxahatchee Groves ranches that frame simply can’t. We won’t hang an impact-rated door on a failing frame. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll inspect before you commit to anything.
Palm Beach County requires any exterior door replaced on a pre-1994 structure to meet current wind-borne debris standards, which usually means an impact-rated door with the proper anchor schedule into the CBS block. If the rough opening is non-standard or the framing has rotted, the permit scope expands to include that work. We pull the permit, we pass the inspection, and we price every allowance in writing before we open the wall.
A jalousie door cannot be repaired to meet current Palm Beach County wind-borne debris requirements, period. These doors were common on 1970s Loxahatchee Groves additions and barn-adjacent structures, but they must be fully replaced, not patched. We replace them with a proper impact-rated swing door and handle the full-frame work that goes with it. Call (561) 349-4826 for an exact quote on yours.
Hollow-core slabs absorb moisture, and in Loxahatchee Groves there’s moisture to spare: saturated soil, high humidity, and daily summer rain. The slab swells and binds against the frame, which is also rusting out from the same water. It’s not a hinge adjustment problem; it’s a materials problem. An impact-rated door with a properly flashed frame is the fix. Estimates are free.
Most door replacement permits out here clear in one to three weeks when the scope stays simple. When we find hidden wiring, a rotted plate, or a non-standard opening that requires a revised scope, the review can add another week or two. We handle the paperwork and we get your signed change order before any additional work starts. Call (561) 349-4826 to get your project scheduled.
