AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Royal Palm Beach
Door installation in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $5,500 for a standard impact-rated entry door, and most replacements take one to two days once the unit arrives. That’s the real number, and it’s the one we quote from our first visit. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been putting doors into Palm Beach County homes since 2011. If you’re weighing a replacement door for a CBS ranch off Okeechobee Boulevard or a French door on a half-acre lot in The Willows, call (561) 928-0302 and Ed Winslow’s team will give you a straight answer.
This page is about Royal Palm Beach specifically. Not a generic South Florida page with the city name swapped in. We’ll cover what door installation costs here, why your HOA matters more than you think, how county permitting works for this village, and what to ask before anyone quotes you.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Royal Palm Beach homeowners have a particular set of problems when it comes to doors. The village went up fast in the 1980s and early 1990s, which means most of the concrete block homes are now at the age where original aluminum sliders and thin entry doors are failing, corroded, or out of square. We see it every week in neighborhoods like Crestwood, Victoria Grove, and The Acreage-adjacent lots that fall under Royal Palm Beach mailing addresses but county jurisdiction.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, literally and figuratively. Every job we take on in Royal Palm Beach gets owner-level accountability, not a ticket number dispatched to a call center. When a homeowner calls (561) 928-0302, a live person answers. At 2 a.m. if necessary. No voicemail loops, no “we’ll call you back by end of business.”
We also know the permitting and HOA terrain here. Royal Palm Beach’s many planned subdivisions, a direct legacy of its original platting, often require architectural review board approval before any exterior door replacement. Boards commonly restrict frame color and grid patterns. Contractors who skip this step lose weeks to approval delays. We build the HOA submittal packet into our standard sales process. It’s a small thing that wins jobs and saves homeowners a headache.
Our Door Installation team arrives background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before they knock. And if something isn’t done right, the Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s a lasting standard. No national chain can touch it.
Our Door Installation Services in Royal Palm Beach
Entry Doors
A new entry door on a Royal Palm Beach CBS ranch changes the whole face of the house. Most original doors on these 1980s-era homes are hollow steel or thin wood veneer units that have warped under decades of direct Florida sun and 60-plus inches of annual rain. We install fiberglass and steel impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru and PGT, sized correctly for the slab-finished openings that are standard in this village’s tract housing. If your front door sticks in summer and won’t latch flush in the winter, the jamb has likely moved. We fix the rough opening, not just the panel.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Royal Palm Beach sits in Palm Beach County’s inland wind zone, which imposes design wind speeds around 140 to 150 mph. That means impact protection is a legal requirement on replaced doors, not an upgrade you can skip. Here’s what most homeowners in this village don’t know to ask: Royal Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward counties. You do not need HVHZ-certified doors here. Standard Florida Product Approval impact doors meet the code. That’s a meaningful cost difference, and it’s one of the first things we clarify when we quote a job. We handle the full installation and the permitting paperwork to back it up.
French & Double Doors
The older CBS ranches in Royal Palm Beach often have original aluminum sliders where a French door should be. Many homeowners want the look, but the real benefit is structural: a properly anchored French door with impact-rated glass and a reinforced jamb holds its square better than any 40-year-old slider can. We install double doors from PGT, CWS, and other Florida Product Approved lines. On widened openings, we verify the header before anything gets ordered. A lot of Royal Palm Beach homes had carport-to-garage conversions in the 1990s, and the framing over those old openings isn’t always what you’d want carrying a double door.
Replacement Doors
Replacement door work in Royal Palm Beach usually means pulling a corroded original aluminum unit and installing a code-compliant impact door in the same opening. The challenge here is that settlement has shifted many of these ranch slabs. A rough opening that was square in 1987 might be 3/8 inch out of plumb today. We don’t just shim it and call it done. The jamb gets set properly against the slab, the threshold gets sealed to keep summer downpours out, and the finished product opens and closes like a door should, not like a piece of trim fighting the framing. Whether you’re off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard or tucked back in a cul-de-sac near the Commons Park area, we approach every replacement the same way: measure everything, order exactly what the opening needs, and install it without surprises.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, CWS, and several other premium Florida lines. What matters more than the brand list is that we know which product fits a Royal Palm Beach opening without padding the quote. For example, a standard Florida Product Approval impact door from CWS or Mr-Glass will satisfy Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code in this village. You don’t pay for product certifications you don’t need. We stock common parts locally for Royal Palm Beach jobs, and when a unit arrives from the manufacturer, our local crew schedules installation promptly.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded original aluminum sliders. Most homes in the village were built between 1978 and 1995, and the sliding glass doors from that era are now 30 to 40 years old. The tracks are pitted, the rollers are shot, and the frames are out of square. A replacement isn’t a repair job. It’s a full install with new flashing and anchorage.
- HOA submittal delays. Many Royal Palm Beach subdivisions require architectural review board approval before a door replacement. If your contractor doesn’t include the submittal packet in the sales process, you’re waiting weeks with a tarp over the opening. We pull the HOA packet first.
- Slab settlement and out-of-square rough openings. Decades of Florida heat and soil movement have thrown many ranch-style rough openings out of plumb. We treat the jamb properly instead of stacking shims until the gap disappears.
- Incorrect product certification being quoted. Some contractors default to HVHZ-certified doors on every Palm Beach County job. That’s unnecessary in Royal Palm Beach, and it adds cost to every opening. We spec standard Florida Product Approval units here, which keeps prices down while remaining fully code-compliant.
Pricing for Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach, FL
A standard impact-rated single entry door in Royal Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $3,500 installed. Hurricane-proof front doors with reinforced frames and upgraded hardware typically run $2,500 to $5,500. French and double door installations sit between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on opening width, glass package, and whether additional framing is needed. Storm and exterior doors with Florida Product Approval ratings generally run $1,500 to $3,800.
What moves the price in Royal Palm Beach specifically: HOA-required frame colors and grid patterns can mean a custom order instead of a stock unit. County-permitted work for homes on septic systems may involve verifying setbacks from drainfields before the final installation. Openings wider than 6 feet often require header reinforcement. We don’t quote until we’ve measured, pulled the permitting requirements, and checked the HOA restrictions. That’s why our quotes are accurate the first time.

What Door Installation Costs in Royal Palm Beach
In Royal Palm Beach, impact doors typically run $1,800 to $5,500 per opening for most entry and French door replacements. Larger or custom openings can push $7,000 or more. Whole-home door packages, where every exterior door is replaced at once, land in the $8,000 to $25,000 range depending on the number of openings, glass packages, and framing corrections. These are the same price bands we quote in Greenacres and West Palm Beach, but the HOA review process here adds time to the front end, not cost to the invoice.
What actually moves the price in Royal Palm Beach: the size of the opening, whether you need a custom frame color for HOA approval, the wind zone rating for your specific lot, and whether any framing or header work is required. We give you a written line-item quote before any work begins, so the number doesn’t change once the job is underway. Same price on day one, same price on final invoice. Call (561) 928-0302 for your free in-home measure.
Florida Pays You Back
If you’re replacing doors in Royal Palm Beach, there are real rebates and credits worth knowing about. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-rated doors count. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost up to $600 per year for qualifying units. Many Royal Palm Beach homeowners also see windstorm premium reductions after a wind-mitigation inspection, with carriers typically discounting the windstorm portion by around 25%. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never promise a specific dollar amount. We’ll walk you through what’s available and what documentation you need.
One comparison worth making: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if you’re home and have time to hang every panel. Impact doors are always on duty. They also add resale value in Palm Beach County, where buyers expect code-compliant openings. For most Royal Palm Beach homeowners, the permanent solution wins.

FAQs - Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach
A door replacement in Royal Palm Beach requires a Palm Beach County permit, and if your home is in an HOA-governed subdivision, you’ll need architectural review board approval first. The HOA approval is separate from the county permit, and both take time. We handle the permit paperwork and the HOA submittal as part of the installation. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific address requires before we quote anything.
No. When you replace a door in Royal Palm Beach, the new opening must meet current Palm Beach County wind-borne debris requirements, which means impact-rated glazing or an approved alternative. Existing shutters on other openings don’t exempt the door you’re replacing. Royal Palm Beach sits outside the HVHZ, so standard Florida Product Approval impact doors satisfy the code without the HVHZ premium. Call (561) 928-0302 for a quote on the right product for your opening.
It can. On Royal Palm Beach-area properties with septic systems, the drainfield setback from the home must be maintained, and certain door swing paths or equipment access routes can affect how the job is scoped. We flagged this on a recent Crestwood job where a 350-pound PGT impact panel had to be hauled across an unpaved rear access path using a tracked dolly to avoid rutting the freshly graded yard. We check all of this before quoting, so there are no change orders mid-install. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule a free assessment of your lot.
No. Royal Palm Beach is in Palm Beach County, which is outside the HVHZ that covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Standard Florida Product Approval impact doors are fully code-compliant here. Some contractors quote HVHZ-certified doors by default, which adds cost you don’t need to pay. We spec the right rating for the opening and don’t pad the quote. Call (561) 928-0302 to get a straight answer on your home.
French doors hold up well on CBS ranch homes in Royal Palm Beach when the rough opening is properly squared and the jamb is anchored correctly. The issue is usually the original opening, not the door itself. Many of these 1980s and early 1990s sliders have corroded frames and lost their square. We recondition the rough opening, install proper flashing, and set the French door so it seals and latches the way a door should. We’ve replaced dozens of these in Royal Palm Beach, from The Willows to homes along Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. Call (561) 928-0302 to talk through your specific opening.
