AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $6,500 for a typical entry door replacement, with impact-rated hurricane doors ranging from $2,800 to $8,000 depending on size, glass package, and frame condition. Most installs take one day once your door arrives. If you’re replacing a corroded or non-compliant door in West Palm Beach, call (561) 928-0302 for a free in-home measure and a written quote before you commit to anything.
We work throughout West Palm Beach weekly: downtown condos off Clematis Street, mid-century CBS homes in the South End, historic bungalows in Flamingo Park, and newer construction near Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. Salt air off the Intracoastal does real damage to door hardware here, and we spec materials accordingly. That’s the difference between a door that lasts eight years and one that lasts thirty.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on every job we do in West Palm Beach. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number, not a franchise with a rotating crew roster. When you call (561) 928-0302, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center. Day or night.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. We carry Florida Product Approval documentation for every impact door we install, and we know the difference between Miami-Dade NOA and FL-number standards, a distinction that trips up a lot of contractors crossing county lines into West Palm Beach. We’ve spent years earning trust in this city, and we back every install with our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Entry Doors
A new entry door changes how your home feels from the curb and how it performs during a storm. In West Palm Beach, we regularly replace 1960s and 1970s hollow-core doors on CBS homes that have warped or swollen from humidity and salt exposure. We install solid-core, impact-rated, and energy-efficient entry doors sized to your existing opening, with proper flashing and sealing so the jamb doesn’t rot out again.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Impact-rated entry doors are the single most important door investment you can make in West Palm Beach. Florida property insurers in Palm Beach County are aggressively non-renewing policies on homes with non-compliant openings, especially the large inventory of pre-2002 concrete-block houses. We install PGT and CGI impact doors with laminated glass interlayers that meet Florida Product Approval standards, and we provide the documentation your insurance carrier needs to apply wind-mitigation credits. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule a free estimate.
French & Double Doors
French doors facing a patio or pool in West Palm Beach take a beating from salt air and afternoon thunderstorms. The weak point is almost always the inactive door’s astragal and the threshold seal. We replace full French and double-door units rather than patching hardware, because a mismatched retrofit rarely seals correctly against wind-driven rain. Our Door Installation team handles everything from standard in-swing French doors to wide-opening double configurations with impact glass.
Replacement Doors
If your existing door frame is sound but the slab is shot, a replacement door makes sense. But in West Palm Beach, “sound” is a high bar: salt-air intrusion rots jambs from the inside out, and a door that looks fine from the street can be structurally compromised behind the casing. We inspect the rough opening, the sill, and the weatherstripping channel before recommending a slab swap versus a full frame replacement. Being honest about what we find is part of how we’ve built our reputation here.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for Therma-Tru entry doors, PGT and CGI impact doors, and Eco Window Systems, among others. That matters in West Palm Beach because authorized installation preserves the manufacturer’s warranty, and because we stock the fasteners, thresholds, and weatherstripping these brands specify for coastal salt-air exposure. If you already have a PGT or Therma-Tru door that’s underperforming, we service it correctly with factory parts instead of generic hardware-store substitutes.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Within five to seven years, standard aluminum door frames near the Intracoastal start pitting, and hinge screws seize or strip. We specify stainless steel hinges and hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every coastal install.
- Rotted jambs on 1950s-70s CBS homes. The original door openings on West Palm Beach’s concrete-block housing stock were often framed with untreated lumber. Decades of humidity and salt intrusion rot the jamb from the bottom up, which is why we rebuild with pressure-treated lumber even when the slab itself looks fine.
- Permitting rejections from Miami-Dade NOA doors. West Palm Beach sits north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which ends at the Broward County line. Doors certified only under Miami-Dade NOA don’t clear permitting here. Florida Product Approval numbers are required, and we handle that paperwork on every job.
- Failed wind mitigation inspections. Non-impact doors on pre-2002 homes routinely fail the wind mitigation inspection insurers require for premium credits. The inspection costs $75 to $150, but without certified impact-rated openings, you may lose the credit entirely or face non-renewal.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach sits just north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which ends at the Broward County line, so doors here must carry Florida Product Approval (FL-number) certification rather than Miami-Dade NOA. Contractors who cross county lines with NOA-only doors routinely get permits rejected. We verify FL-numbers on every impact door we install in West Palm Beach and provide the documentation your permit office and insurer expect. Call (561) 928-0302 if you want us to check your existing door’s compliance.
Salt air corrodes standard aluminum door frames and hardware within five to seven years in West Palm Beach, causing jamb separation, air leaks, and seized hinges. Homes west of I-95 see less of this, but neighborhoods near the Intracoastal and Flagler Drive get constant salt deposition. We spec marine-grade finishes, stainless steel hinges, and hot-dip galvanized fasteners on coastal installs, which adds roughly $150 to $400 to the job compared to an inland-spec door, and it buys you decades instead of a decade.
Yes. Flamingo Park is a locally designated historic district in West Palm Beach, and any exterior door replacement there requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Board before work begins. The replacement door must match the historic profile, which often means a wood-clad or simulated-divided-lite product. That can add weeks to the timeline and 30 to 50 percent to the cost compared to a standard impact swap just outside the district. We’ve guided Flamingo Park homeowners through the COA process and can prepare your submittal as part of the estimate.
PGT and CGI impact doors with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade finishes hold up best in West Palm Beach’s salt-air environment. The frame material matters as much as the glass: aluminum frames need a marine-grade coating, and all fasteners should be stainless or hot-dip galvanized. In Flamingo Park, our crew replaced a corroded 1960s aluminum entry door on a CBS home with a PGT impact-rated door using laminated glass interlayer and stainless steel hinges. The original jamb had rotted from salt-air intrusion, so we rebuilt it with pressure-treated lumber and hot-dip galvanized fasteners, then sealed all joints to prevent further water ingress. That’s the coastal spec, and it’s what we recommend for any West Palm Beach home within a mile of the water.
Yes. A wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150) that documents certified impact-rated openings is the most common path to windstorm-premium credits, which average around 25 percent off the windstorm portion of your premium in Palm Beach County. Carriers are also non-renewing policies on older West Palm Beach homes without documented protection, so an impact door can be the difference between keeping your policy and losing it. We provide the FL-number documentation your inspector and carrier need. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your home qualifies for.
What Door Installation Costs in West Palm Beach
For impact-rated door work specifically, expect $2,800 to $6,500 for a standard single entry door installed, and $4,500 to $8,000+ for French or double door configurations with impact glass. Large custom openings can push past $10,000. Whole-home door packages, where you’re replacing every exterior opening at once, generally land between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on door count and wind zone requirements. In West Palm Beach, floor height matters too: second-story doors on elevated homes near the Intracoastal see higher wind pressures and need higher design pressure ratings, which adds cost. We don’t guess at these numbers. We measure, check the opening’s design pressure requirements, and give you a written quote that holds. Call (561) 928-0302 to book your free in-home measure.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives available to West Palm Beach homeowners can take a real bite out of an impact door project. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6 to 7 percent at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit adds up to $600 per year on qualifying units when your new door carries an Energy Star rating. And the windstorm-premium credit, typically around 25 percent off the wind portion of your premium after a wind-mitigation inspection, compounds every year. The exact payouts depend on your carrier and your home’s inspection results, and no one can guarantee those numbers, but the documentation we provide at install is exactly what those programs ask for.
One more comparison worth making: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but someone has to be home to deploy them, they don’t stop wind-driven rain the way a sealed impact door does, and they add nothing to your home’s market value or insurance profile on their own. An impact door is permanent protection, installed once, working every storm, with no panels to haul out of the garage. For West Palm Beach homeowners dealing with insurance-driven replacement pressure anyway, the impact door usually makes more sense than layering shutters over a non-compliant opening.
