AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across South Palm Beach
Door installation in South Palm Beach runs $650 to $2,300 for a standard entry door, and $2,800 to $7,500 for an impact-rated sliding glass door, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Those numbers reflect the reality of working on a barrier island where salt air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other corrodes door frames roughly twice as fast as it does a mile inland. That’s why we measure every opening twice before we quote anything, and why we register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your door needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is South Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been working in South Palm Beach long enough to know what’s behind the doors here. Most of the condominium towers along South Ocean Boulevard were built between 1960 and the early 1980s, and many still have their original aluminum-framed single-pane sliders and jalousie windows. The salt spray that comes off both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway gets into every seam and hinge. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he kept seeing the same thing: installs that weren’t true, warranties that were never registered, and homeowners left holding a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. Our Door Installation team works in South Palm Beach regularly, which means we already know the condo board approval process, the building codes, and which manufacturers hold up in this specific environment. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they approach your home the way they’d approach their own mother’s. We carry more than a dozen manufacturer lines including Andersen, PGT, and ES Windows, and we’ll quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Door Installation Services in South Palm Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors in South Palm Beach take a beating from the coastal climate, and the biggest problem we see is corrosion at the jamb. In older condo units, the original aluminum frame around the rough opening is often so oxidized that the screws holding the door have no bite left. We replace the door, the jambs, and the hardware as a single system, using marine-grade materials rated for salt exposure. A typical entry door replacement here runs $650 to $1,900 depending on size, finish, and whether the existing frame needs to be rebuilt.
Double & French Doors
French doors facing the Atlantic or the Intracoastal catch wind-driven rain even when the weather looks calm. Failed flashing tape and disintegrated barrier paper around the rough opening are common in 1960s through 1980s concrete condo construction, and we address those before we set the new door. Double door installations start around $1,800 and run to $4,500 for impact-rated units with full frame replacement. If you’re replacing a pair that faces the water, the impact rating is not optional; it’s code.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding doors are increasingly popular in South Palm Beach for opening a living room to an ocean or Intracoastal view, but they demand a structural opening that can hold their weight and a properly engineered track system. Many original condo walls here were not framed for wide openings, which means the rough opening often needs reinforcement before the door goes in. We handle that in-house and quote the structural retrofit as part of the job, not as a surprise change order you find out about after the first cut. Count on $3,500 to $8,000 for a quality bifold installation in South Palm Beach.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a statement piece, and in South Palm Beach they’re typically installed in upscale condo remodels where the owner wants a wider, modern entry. The pivot hardware carries the full weight of the door, so it needs a level subfloor and a solid header. In older towers where the original framing is undersized or corroded, we retrofit the opening before we install. A pivot door installation in South Palm Beach typically starts around $2,500 for a single door and goes up from there based on size, material, and hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for South Palm Beach we keep a steady supply of parts and hardware rated for marine exposure. Andersen, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems are three we quote most often in this market because their impact-rated lines hold up to the double-sided salt environment better than standard aluminum. We’ll put a side-by-side quote on paper for you so you can compare what each manufacturer offers, and we register every warranty layer in writing before we leave the driveway.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in South Palm Beach Homes
- Oxidized jambs inside the rough opening. The original aluminum frames in most of these towers are decades old, and when the salt gets behind the door casing, the jamb rots from the inside out. By the time the door sticks or a lock stops catching, the metal behind it is usually gone. We replace the jamb, the flashing, and the door as one job.
- Condo board rejection after the owner has already signed. This happens more than you’d think in South Palm Beach. A unit owner picks a finish or an impact rating, signs a contract, and then the board rejects it because it doesn’t match the rest of the floor. We’ve learned to get board approval in writing before the permit is pulled, not after the door is ordered.
- Undersized or corroded steel framing inside the opening. Modern impact-rated doors are heavy, and many original openings in these buildings cannot support them without structural retrofit. That’s a line item we quote upfront, not a change order we spring on you mid-job.
- Water intrusion through failed flashing tape. The original barrier paper behind old sliding door jambs has disintegrated in most of these buildings. Water gets in around the frame, and by the time you see staining on the drywall, the damage is already done. We strip out the old flashing and install new tape and sill pans before setting any exterior door.

FAQs - Door Installation in South Palm Beach
Your condo board has to approve the door’s impact rating, finish, and manufacturer because nearly every building in South Palm Beach requires visual uniformity across the exterior, and Florida Building Code compliance is a building-wide concern in a Wind-Borne Debris Region. We submit product specs and color samples to the board before any contract is signed, which prevents the most common and expensive delay in this town: a board rejecting a door you already ordered. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll tell you exactly what to ask your board for.
If the rough opening needs structural retrofit or new jambs, yes, there is an additional cost, but it should never be a surprise. We write a framing allowance into every South Palm Beach contract so you know what a worst-case repair looks like. If the actual work comes in under that allowance, you pay less. If it comes in at the allowance, the number was already on paper. That’s how we do change orders: priced and approved in writing before we cut anything.
In South Palm Beach, the whole town is effectively in the salt zone because the island is only a few hundred feet wide. Both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway are within 500 feet of virtually every building, so every exterior door frame is getting hit with salt spray from two directions. We’ve pulled original aluminum frames off mid-rises here where the screws had no threads left from corrosion. It doesn’t take decades of exposure; it takes a decade. If your building is from the 1960s or 1970s and the doors are original, assume the frames are compromised.
Yes. Replacing an exterior door in South Palm Beach requires a permit, and in a condo building you’re also dealing with the association’s approval process. The permit is not optional; it’s how the town verifies the door meets current Florida Building Code impact requirements. We pull the permit, pass the inspection, and hand you the paperwork. It’s part of the job, not an add-on.
You can apply, but your board may require the replacement to match the rest of the floor in finish, profile, and impact rating. That’s exactly the situation we handle best. We’ve worked with South Palm Beach condo boards long enough to know what they’ll approve and what they’ll reject, and we pitch whole-floor or whole-building coordinated replacements to boards that want visual uniformity. A single unit replacement is possible; the board just has to sign off first. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll help you navigate that conversation.
Contact TruePane Windows & Doors for Door Installation in South Palm Beach
On a 1970s mid-rise off South Ocean Boulevard, our crew pulled an original aluminum sliding door to find the jamb so badly oxidized by double-sided salt air that the screws had no bite left. We replaced it with a Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact sliding door from Andersen, wrote a change order for new treated jambs and flashing tape before cutting anything, and got the condo board’s uniform-finish approval in writing before the permit was pulled. That’s the job in South Palm Beach: the door is the easy part. The opening behind it is where the work is.
If you live in a condo tower or a single-family home in South Palm Beach and you need a door replaced, call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. We’ll measure twice, quote on paper, and register both warranty layers before we leave.
