Door Installation in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach

Door installation in Palm Beach isn’t a one-size-fits-all job, and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t spent much time on this island. Most standard replacement doors run $1,800 to $4,500 installed, while custom impact-rated units on historic estates routinely run $8,000 to $20,000 once Architectural Commission review and custom fabrication are factored in. If you’re replacing a door on a Mizner-era home near Worth Avenue or a condo along South Ocean Boulevard, you need a crew that understands both the wind code and the town’s preservation rules. We’ve been doing exactly that since 2011. Call (561) 928-0302 and you’ll get Ed Winslow’s team, not a call center.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company

Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and he still answers the phone. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we operate. When you call our Palm Beach door installation line at (561) 928-0302, a live person picks up, day or night. No voicemail loops, no ticket numbers, no “we’ll get back to you within two business days.” You get a straight answer about lead times, permits, and pricing.

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and Door Installation brands like Therma-Tru, and every technician who steps onto your Palm Beach property is background-checked and in uniform. Homeowners on this island have been burned before by vague estimates and no-show crews. We don’t play that game. Upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard, and it’s the only kind of warranty worth having on a $15,000 custom entry door.

Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach

Entry Doors

Your entry door is the first thing anyone sees from Chilean Avenue or El Bravo Way, and on this island it’s often the first thing the Architectural Commission reviews. We install solid wood, fiberglass, and steel entry doors with the profiles and hardware that pass Palm Beach scrutiny. Whether you want a period-correct pecky cypress surround or a clean modern pivot door, we measure every jamb, document every reveal, and submit the paperwork correctly the first time.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Every exterior door in Palm Beach must meet Florida Building Code wind-borne debris standards, and that’s just the starting point. We install impact-rated doors from PGT and CGI with laminated glass interlayers, marine-grade stainless hinges, and multi-point locking systems. On oceanfront and Intracoastal-front properties, we spec anodized or marine-grade finishes because the salt air here attacks aluminum and standard steel hardware twice as fast as it does across the bridge in West Palm Beach. A generic big-box door will not survive what this island throws at it.

French & Double Doors

French doors are beautiful and demanding, especially on Palm Beach estates where an arched transom typically sits above the pair. We install impact-rated French and double doors with custom transoms matched to the original architecture. The difference between our work and a generic installer is what happens at the meeting rail: we verify deflection ratings, astragal alignment, and weatherstripping compression before the first windstorm, because a door that leaks air on a $12 million estate is a callback waiting to happen.

Replacement Doors

Replacing a failing door in Palm Beach means more than pulling the old slab and hanging a new one. On 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes, we often find non-standard rough openings, settled jambs, and handcrafted surrounds that no catalog unit fits without field adjustment. We order custom doors with exact dimensions and profiles, fabricate when necessary, and install with the same care the original builder used. If the old door has historical value, we’ll tell you before we touch it, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We’re an authorized installer for eight window and door brands, and for Palm Beach door work we lean heavily on CGI, PGT, Therma-Tru, and ECO Window Systems. CGI and PGT make the impact-rated units that satisfy Florida Product Approval and HVHZ requirements for this wind zone. Therma-Tru builds entry door systems with the stile and rail profiles that work well on traditional Palm Beach homes. ECO Window Systems gives us flexibility on custom configurations and larger openings. Parts and hardware ship directly to our South Florida office, which means Palm Beach customers aren’t waiting on a distributor three states away.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Architectural Commission rejections. A generic impact door fails review because the stile and rail profiles don’t match the original Mizner-era door on a landmarked home. That triggers a costly reorder and a four-to-six-week permit delay. We submit the door profile drawings with the permit application so review happens once, not twice.
• Salt-air corrosion on hardware. Uncoated aluminum or standard steel hinges and handles on an oceanfront door on South Ocean Boulevard start pitting and seizing within two seasons. We use marine-grade stainless or anodized finishes as standard on any property within a block of salt water on either side of the island.
• Non-standard arched openings. Palm Beach estates built in the 1920s and 1930s rarely have a single standard door opening. Attempting to force a stock impact door into an arched rough opening causes jamb distortion, air leakage, and failed wind mitigation inspection. We field-measure every opening and custom-fabricate when the architecture demands it.
• Deteriorating frames hidden behind trim. On older Palm Beach doors, the visible slab looks fine but the jamb and threshold are rotted from decades of humidity and salt. We inspect the entire opening, not just the part you see, and we tell you what we find before we write the quote.

What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach

Entry door replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 for a standard single door with impact-rated glazing and installation. French or double door systems run $6,000 to $14,000 depending on transom work and hardware. On historic estates with custom arched openings and Architectural Commission review, expect $8,000 to $20,000 or more. Whole-home door packages with multiple entries range from $15,000 to $45,000.

What moves the number? Opening count, wind zone requirements, floor height (second-story doors on the ocean side face higher design pressures), and frame material. Custom work in pecky cypress or mahogany costs more than primed fiberglass, but it’s often the only material the town will approve on a landmarked home. We give a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote before any order is placed. The price we write is the price you pay. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule yours.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has real incentive programs that make impact-rated door replacement in Palm Beach more affordable, and the programs stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades including impact doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $12,000 door package is meaningful. The federal 25C energy credit pays 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After installation, a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) typically supports windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs change and carriers set final numbers, so we’ll point you to the current program rules rather than promise a specific check.

One honest comparison before you decide: impact windows and doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront but leave you scrambling to hang panels before every storm and do nothing for daily energy efficiency or UV protection. Impact-rated doors are permanent, always in place, and add real value to a Palm Beach property. If you’re also looking at a big-box retail install, understand that a licensed impact specialist like Winslow pulls the permit, submits the Architectural Commission paperwork, installs to the Product Approval, and stands behind the work with the Done Right Promise. A big-box install crew may not even know what HVHZ means.

Navigating Architectural Commission Review in Palm Beach

This is the part most generic door installation guides never cover: Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires that even impact-rated replacement doors on landmarked Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates replicate original Mizner-era profiles and hardware. That’s a dual compliance burden, Florida Building Code wind loads plus historic aesthetics, and it does not apply across the bridge in West Palm Beach or down the coast in Boca Raton. A door that meets Miami-Dade NOA impact standards but has clean modern stiles and rails will be rejected on a landmarked home if the original had ornate moldings and handcrafted iron scrollwork.

We manage this process end to end. On a 1930s Mediterranean Revival estate near Worth Avenue, our crew replaced a rotted, non-compliant arched entry door with a custom CGI impact-rated unit that matched the original wrought-iron grillwork and pecky-cypress surround. We coordinated the Architectural Commission submittal, ordered the door with a laminated glass interlayer and marine-grade stainless hardware, and installed it within the four-week commission window, preserving the period aesthetic while securing a wind mitigation discount for the owner. That’s what we mean when we say we know Palm Beach door installation.
