At TruePane Windows & Doors, we have been serving local communities since 2008, following the founding rule Dale Kessler keeps on our whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. When you choose us for your project, you are getting more than just a door; you are getting a team that registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. We specialize in the precision installation of French and double doors, ensuring that every hinge, sweep, and lock operates with the precision of a second-generation glazier’s craft. If you are exploring options for your home, our Door Installation in Greenacres page provides a broader look at our full range of services.
We understand that homeowners in Greenacres face specific challenges. Between the intense summer heat that causes material expansion and the salt air that accelerates corrosion on metal components, your doors endure a lot. We do not use franchise playbooks or generic installation methods. We treat every home as if it were our own, focusing on the details that prevent future leaks, drafts, and security risks. We are an authorized installer for major lines including CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, and we bring side-by-side quotes on paper so you can see exactly what you are purchasing.
When You Need French & Double Doors
Replacing a set of French or double doors is often a necessity driven by performance failure or security concerns rather than just aesthetics. We recommend inspecting your doors if you notice any of the following symptoms:
- Binding or Rubbing: If your doors require a shove to close or drag along the threshold, the frame has likely shifted. In Greenacres, this is often caused by humidity-induced swelling or, more seriously, foundation settling that has pulled the frame out of square.
- Seal Failure: If you see fogging between glass panes or notice drafts, the insulating seal has broken. This leads to higher energy bills, as your air conditioning works harder to compensate for the thermal leakage.
- Corrosion and Rust: Salt air is a constant factor in our climate. If you see bubbling paint, rust on the hinges, or corrosion on the threshold, the structural integrity of the door assembly is compromised.
- Water Intrusion: Finding moisture on the floor inside your threshold after a heavy rain is a sign that the flashing or weatherstripping has failed. This is not just an inconvenience, it is a risk to your subfloor and wall studs.
- Security Concerns: Older, non-impact doors often feature outdated locking mechanisms. If your current doors lack modern multi-point locking systems, they are vulnerable to forced entry.
- Lack of Impact Rating: If your home still has builder-grade glass doors that are not hurricane-rated, you are relying on shutters or plywood. Upgrading to impact-rated French doors provides permanent protection and often reduces homeowner insurance premiums.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, call us at (754) 339-0784. We offer honest assessments and will always tell you if a repair is viable or if a full replacement is the more prudent long-term investment. We do not push for unnecessary sales, as our reputation is built on years of community trust.
Our French & Double Doors Process
Our process is rooted in the Keystone Standard, which means we do not cut corners. We follow a specific, disciplined workflow to ensure your new doors perform correctly for decades. Every job is led by our background-checked, uniformed technicians.
- The Initial Measurement: We do not rely on rough estimates. We measure your door opening twice, accounting for the specific layout of your home and the required clearance for the new doors. We look at the subfloor condition and the state of the existing frame to ensure we have a solid surface for the new installation.
- Reviewing Options: We sit down with you to review manufacturer lines from companies like CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. We provide side-by-side paper quotes so you can compare impact ratings, frame materials, and glass options without the pressure of a sales pitch.
- Site Preparation: On the day of installation, we protect your floors and furniture. We carefully remove the old doors and inspect the rough opening for any signs of water damage or rot. If we find an issue, we address it before the new door goes in. We never cover up existing structural problems.
- Precision Setting: This is where the craft happens. We level, plumb, and square the new frame. A door that is off by even a fraction of an inch will eventually bind, leak, or fail to latch correctly. We use high-grade shims and fasteners to ensure the frame is rock-solid.
- Flashing and Sealing: In Greenacres, water intrusion is the primary enemy. We apply professional-grade flashing and sealants around the perimeter of the frame to create an airtight, watertight barrier.
- Warranty Registration: Before our truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers for you. You receive the paperwork immediately. We stand behind our work with our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right-no paperwork, no arguing, no fine print.
Please note that installing heavy impact-rated doors involves significant weight and potential hazards. We use specialized equipment and training to handle these units safely. We strongly advise against attempting to install these doors yourself, as improper handling can lead to injury or structural damage to your home. Rely on our trained professionals to manage the heavy lifting and the technical requirements of the install.
French & Double Doors Pricing in Greenacres
Pricing for French and double doors varies significantly based on the configuration, the material, and the impact rating required. We provide transparent, upfront pricing so you know exactly what the job costs before we begin. We do not have hidden fees or surprise line items. Every estimate is free.
| Door Type / Scope | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Replacement (Non-Impact) | $2,800 - $4,200 |
| Impact-Rated French Doors (Standard) | $4,500 - $6,500 |
| Custom Configuration / Specialized Hardware | $6,500+ |
Several factors influence where your project falls within these ranges. Impact-resistant doors, which are essential for hurricane protection in Florida, carry a higher cost due to the reinforced glass and heavy-duty framing required to meet building codes. The condition of your existing frame also matters; if the wood surrounding the door has suffered water damage, it must be repaired or replaced to ensure the new door has a secure anchor. We always include these details in our written quotes.
We offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans to show our appreciation for our community members. If you have a smaller issue, we also offer a free written repair estimate and a maintenance check. Call (754) 339-0784 to schedule your free estimate and get a clear, written price for your project.
FAQs - French & Double Doors
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my French doors?
Repairing is usually cheaper, but it only makes sense if the structural components and the glass seal are in good condition. If your doors are binding due to severe frame rot, if the glass seal is broken, or if you need to upgrade to impact-rated glass for hurricane protection, a full replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution. Call (754) 339-0784, and we will inspect your door to give you an honest recommendation on whether a repair will hold or if replacement is necessary.
Do you handle the permit process for door installations in Greenacres?
Yes, we manage the permit requirements for any door installation that necessitates one, ensuring the work complies with local building codes. We handle the paperwork and the inspection coordination so you do not have to navigate the municipal requirements yourself. Our goal is to make the process as simple as possible while ensuring your home remains fully compliant and safe.
