AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Greenacres
Door installation in Greenacres runs $800 to $1,800 for a standard impact-rated entry door installed, and $2,500 to $5,000 for a custom or double-door opening. Most replacements take one day once your door arrives, with custom fabrication running four to six weeks. If you’re replacing a corroded aluminum door on a 1960s CBS home or upgrading a non-impact front entry to meet Palm Beach County wind mitigation standards, we handle the permit, the install, and the inspection. We also install Energy-Efficient Windows in Greenacres when your full opening needs to be brought up to code. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free in-home measure and written line-item quote.
We know Greenacres because we work here every week. The streets off Jog Road, the blocks around Melaleuca Lane, the older sections near 10th Avenue North: these are our routes. When you call, a live person answers, and the crew that shows up has been background-checked and is in uniform. Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and he stands behind every door we hang.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We are not a national chain with a call center and a rotating subcontractor list. We’re a locally owned Florida company with a published address, a license number, and a live person answering the phone 24/7. Homeowners in Greenacres call us specifically because their insurer flagged a door on a wind mitigation report and they need it fixed correctly the first time. That is a different job than a cosmetic upgrade, and it requires someone who knows Palm Beach County code.
Our Door Installation team has replaced entry doors throughout Greenacres, from single-family concrete block stucco homes near Lake Worth Road to newer additions around Ferrara Lane. We routinely see the same three compliance failures on these jobs: doors with Miami-Dade NOAs instead of Florida Product Approval, original aluminum jambs reused without sill pans, and non-impact side lites left untouched beside a new impact door. Each one fails a wind mitigation inspection. We fix all three as standard practice, and we pull the permit on every job so the inspection is on record.
When a Greenacres homeowner calls us, they are usually under a deadline: the insurance company wants wind mitigation documentation, or a purchase contract requires a compliant door before closing. We schedule fast, show up when we say we will, and leave with a signed inspection in hand. No voicemail loops, no next-business-day callbacks. You call, someone picks up, and Ed’s word backs the work.
Our Door Installation Services in Greenacres
Entry Doors
A new entry door on a Greenacres home has to do more than look good. It has to seal against the afternoon thunderstorms that pool water against low-lying slabs, and it has to stand up to wind-borne debris. We install fiberglass and steel entry doors with proper sill pans, weatherstripping, and thresholds sized to the opening, not whatever was on the shelf. Most standard entry door replacements in Greenacres run $800 to $1,500 installed, and we give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the job we do most often in Greenacres. A hurricane-proof front door carries a Florida Product Approval rating, not just a Miami-Dade NOA from a Broward or Dade supplier. The distinction matters here: Greenacres sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region but outside the HVHZ, so the product approval has to match the jurisdiction. We install Therma-Tru fiberglass doors with laminated impact glass that meet Florida Building Code requirements for this area, and we document the approval number on the permit application. A compliant impact entry door in Greenacres typically runs $1,200 to $1,800 installed, depending on the opening size and whether we replace the jamb and threshold.
French & Double Doors
Larger openings cost more because the frame has to carry more load, and in Greenacres that load is defined by wind zone. French and double door replacements start around $2,500 and run to $5,000 for fully impact-rated units with laminated glass in both panels. We check the header, the existing jamb, and the floor elevation before quoting. Many 1970s CBS homes have slab-on-grade floors with a slight settled slope toward the door, which means the threshold and sill pan have to be built up correctly or water finds its way in during heavy rain.
Replacement Doors
Replacing a door on an older Greenacres home usually means replacing the jamb too. The original 1980s aluminum frames corrode in the salt-laden coastal air, and the mounting screws pull loose from the block. We demo the old frame, install a new pre-hung unit, flash it properly, and seal the threshold against standing water. Replacement door pricing in Greenacres runs $900 to $1,600 for a standard single door, and we include the haul-away in the quote. Our standing offers apply: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside the home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers, and on Greenacres jobs we most often specify Therma-Tru for entry doors, ES Windows for impact-rated door systems, and ECO Window Systems for coastal applications. That means we order directly from the factory, not through a distributor’s warehouse, so we can get the exact Florida Product Approval rating your opening requires. We keep common hardware and weatherstripping on our trucks, and we can source replacement hinge sets, sweeps, and thresholds for most brands without a second trip. If another contractor quoted you a door that “should be fine,” get a free second opinion from us. We will tell you if the product actually complies with Palm Beach County requirements.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Miami-Dade NOA doors installed in a non-HVHZ county. Greenacres is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so products here must carry Florida Product Approval. Contractors who work across the county line sometimes install Miami-Dade NOA units, and wind mitigation inspectors fail the opening. We spec the right approval number on every Greenacres job.
- Reused 1980s aluminum jambs and thresholds. The original frames on Greenacres CBS homes are corroded and no longer seal against wind-driven rain. Reusing them saves a few hundred dollars up front and costs thousands in water damage later. We replace the jamb, add a sill pan, and flash the rough opening correctly.
- Non-impact side lites and transoms left in place. Many Greenacres entryways have a narrow glass panel beside the door. If you install an impact door but leave the original single-pane side lite, the inspector can fail the entire assembly for large-missile resistance. We quote the complete opening, not just the door slab.
- Wrong weatherstripping for Florida humidity. Greenacres air is humid and salt-laden all year. Standard foam weatherstripping breaks down fast. We use compression seals and marine-grade sweeps that hold up in this climate and keep air conditioning leaks from showing up on your power bill.
Pricing for Door Installation in Greenacres, FL
A standard impact-rated entry door on a Greenacres CBS home typically runs $1,200 to $1,800 installed, including the permit, new jamb, threshold, and hardware. French or double door replacements start around $2,500 and cap out near $5,000 for large custom openings. The price moves on three things: opening size, whether the entire frame is replaced, and the specific Florida Product Approval rating required for your wind zone. We never change the price after work begins. The quote you get is the invoice you pay. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll measure your opening, confirm the required rating, and hand you a written number the same day.
What Door Installation Costs in Greenacres
Here are the ranges we quote most often in Greenacres:
- Standard entry door replacement: $800-$1,500 installed
- Impact-rated single door with Florida Product Approval: $1,200-$1,800 installed
- Large or custom single opening: $2,500-$4,000 installed
- French or double door, impact-rated: $2,500-$5,000 installed
- Full hurricane opening package (door plus side lite and transom): $3,500-$5,000+ installed
On a 1960s CBS home, the frame condition drives the final number. If the original aluminum jamb is corroded or the rough opening has settled, we replace and flash the entire opening rather than shimming a new slab into a failing frame. That adds labor but it is the only way the door will pass a wind mitigation inspection. Every quote includes the permit fee, haul-away, and final inspection coordination. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free in-home measure and written line-item quote.
Florida Pays You Back
Greenacres homeowners can stack three programs to offset door replacement costs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact doors count. Florida sales tax is exempt on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After your door is installed and inspected, a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy is common, but your carrier sets the final number. We coordinate the wind mitigation inspection paperwork so you have documented compliance to submit. No guarantees on amounts: each program and insurance company applies its own rules.

FAQs - Door Installation in Greenacres
Greenacres is in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region but outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Broward and Miami-Dade. That means impact products here must carry Florida Product Approval, not a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. A door with only a Miami-Dade NOA can fail a Palm Beach County wind mitigation inspection, and you lose the insurance credit. We spec the correct approval on every Greenacres job and document it on the permit. Call (561) 928-0302 if a contractor quoted you a door without showing the approval number.
Yes, in most cases it will, but the reduction depends on the wind mitigation inspection, not the door alone. A compliant impact door with the correct Florida Product Approval, documented on a passed inspection, typically reduces the windstorm portion of your premium by around 25%. Insurers apply their own formulas, so we cannot quote your exact credit. What we can do is install a door that passes the inspection and hand you the paper trail. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free measure and quote.
You need a permit for a door replacement in Greenacres, full stop. Palm Beach County requires it, and without the permit and final inspection, you have no documented compliance for your insurance company. Swapping only the slab while reusing an old jamb also risks failing the wind mitigation inspection because the frame and threshold are part of the rated assembly. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and leave you with signed paperwork. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll handle the entire process.
The most common failure we see is a door with a Miami-Dade NOA installed in a jurisdiction that requires Florida Product Approval. Greenacres sits outside the HVHZ, and some contractors who work down in Broward or Miami-Dade bring the wrong product approval across the county line. A close second is a new impact door with a non-impact side lite or transom left untouched beside it. The inspector checks the whole opening. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free second opinion on any quote.
In most cases, yes. We can order a door sized to your existing rough opening and install it without reframing, as long as the jamb is in good condition. If the original aluminum jamb is corroded or the opening has settled, we replace the jamb and flash it, which still usually does not require structural reframing. The quickest way to know is a free in-home measure. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll come out, measure the opening, and give you a written price.
Our crew replaced a corroded aluminum entry door on a 1970s CBS home off Jog Road after the homeowner’s insurer flagged the original jalousie windows and non-impact door in a wind mitigation report. We installed a Therma-Tru fiberglass door with a laminated glass interlayer and Florida Product Approval, then coordinated the permit and final inspection so the homeowner could submit the wind mitigation form and regain their policy discount. The same attention to detail applies when we fabricate Greenacres Custom & Geometric Windows for specialty openings. That is how a Greenacres door job should go: done once, documented, and on the record.
