Door Installation in Palm Beach: What Every Homeowner Should Know First

Door installation in Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $9,500 for most residential projects, with entry doors on historic or contributing structures typically landing between $4,200 and $9,500 once ARCOM compliance and masonry rebuilding are factored in. The single biggest variable on this island is not the door itself, it’s what the crew finds inside the opening once the old unit comes out. On a 1920s Mizner-era estate, that often means a corroded steel frame, crumbling concrete jamb, and a rough opening that was never built for a modern Impact Windows & Doors - Palm Beach unit.

TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing Door Installation work on Palm Beach island long enough to know one thing for certain: this is not a swap-out market. Between the salt air working from both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides, and the Town’s Architectural Commission reviewing exterior changes on older homes, every opening has a story. We’re the crew that comes prepared to read it correctly. A live person answers at (754) 339-0784, 24 hours a day, and we schedule Palm Beach assessments around your timeline, not ours.

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach

Palm Beach homeowners don’t call a door company because they’re browsing. They call because a door is bound, a frame is soft, a storm louver rattled through the last noreaster, or insurance flagged the opening after an inspection. We get it. Our scheduling is built around the island’s reality: we run crews from the South Florida office into Palm Beach daily, and we plan each visit with the understanding that ARCOM review may already be in motion or may need to start before the first screw comes out. A uniformed, background-checked technician answers the phone when you call, not a call center. That technician will be the one who shows up at your door, measuring the opening twice and writing the quote on paper in front of you. (754) 339-0784 is the number to call.

What we keep finding on Palm Beach properties is that the door itself is rarely the whole job. The surround is. Older concrete and CBS jambs crack behind the trim, hidden from view. Original steel casement doors from the 1920s corrode from the inside out while the exterior paint stays deceptively intact. That’s why we don’t quote a door from a photo or a set of dimensions texted over. We open the wall enough to see the condition of the jamb, the lintel, and the flashing before we put a number in writing. It’s the only honest way to price this island’s work.

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

The word “preferred” gets thrown around a lot in this business, so let’s put it in plain terms. We’ve been in South Florida long enough that the same families who hired us for a South End patio door in the early 2000s now call when their Phipps Plaza entry door finally gives out. That kind of repeat business doesn’t come from advertising. It comes from showing up on time, doing the work to the manufacturer’s code, registering both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, and answering the phone when something doesn’t feel right afterward.

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every door we set in Palm Beach. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. The Done Right Promise applies to every install. If it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it is the reason homeowners in Palm Beach keep our number in their phone.

We’re also an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT. That matters on an island where ARCOM wants to see documentation, where high-impact ratings are non-negotiable under the Florida Building Code, and where the wrong door can fail inspection twice in one project. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying and why. No vague “comparable product” language. A square deal, in writing.

Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach

Entry & Swing Doors

Energy-Efficient Windows - Palm Beach entry doors take more abuse than almost any other opening in the house. Salt air corrodes hinges and thresholds, direct ocean exposure bakes the finish, and ARCOM design review means many homeowners need a door that looks like 1926 and performs like 2026. We handle standard and custom entry systems, fiberglass and wood, glazed and solid, and we always verify the swing direction and jamb condition before ordering. Most entry door installs on the island are done in one visit once the unit arrives.

Arched & Custom Doors

This is the work that separates a door company from a glazier. Mizner-era openings are rarely true rectangles, and a standard slab jammed into an arched rough opening looks wrong and leaks. We measure every arch radius, build or order the custom door to match, and make sure the ARCOM reviewer sees the profile they expect. If the existing surround is failing, we rebuild it to original dimensions before the new unit is set. That’s not an upsell. It is the only way a code-compliant door goes into an old opening without failing within five years.

Pivot Doors

Modern estate builds and major renovations in Palm Beach increasingly call for pivot doors, the oversized single panels that swing on a top and bottom pivot instead of traditional hinges. They’re heavy, they demand dead-flat flooring and a beefed-up header, and they’re unforgiving if the framing is out of square by even a quarter inch. We install pivot doors up to oversized dimensions, in impact-rated glass and solid panel configurations, and we coordinate with the builder or the architect from rough framing through final hardware. If the opening isn’t right, we say so before the door is ordered.

Double & French Doors

Double and French doors bring the Palm Beach light in, but they also bring the wind, the rain, and the salt spray if they’re not set perfectly. Both panels have to meet cleanly in the center, sill flashing has to shed water away from the threshold, and the astragal has to seal against driving rain from the Atlantic. We install inswing and outswing French doors and Sliding & Patio Doors - Palm Beach, impact-rated when code requires, and we re-flash and re-seal the entire opening on every job. No old flashing left in place, no shortcuts on the pan.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We install and service doors from PGT, Jeld-Wen, and Simonton, among other manufacturer lines. For Palm Beach homeowners, that means we can source impact-rated units that hold the Florida-product approvals ARCOM wants to see in the permit package. We also keep common hardware and replacement parts on the trucks that run the island route, so a broken threshold or a seized hinge on a PGT door doesn’t wait a week for a part to ship from Georgia. When you call (754) 339-0784, the person on the phone knows what’s on the truck and what needs to be ordered before the first visit.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

We’ve opened enough Palm Beach walls to know what’s waiting. Here are the four most common things we find:

• Salt-corroded steel frames hiding behind intact paint. Original casement and entry doors from the 1920s and 1930s rust from the inside out on Palm Beach. The exterior paint looks fine. The steel underneath has turned to scale. The moment we try to set an impact-rated unit, the jamb crumbles and the real job starts.
• Crumbling masonry surrounds that can’t hold a new door. Concrete jamb filler and old mortar break down after decades of moisture intrusion. Code requires a load-bearing, level opening to accept a high-impact door. We rebuild the surround, then set the door. Skipping the rebuild is how installs fail inspection and doors bind in July.
• ARCOM delays from doors that don’t match the original profile. A homeowner replaces an arched Mizner-era door with a standard rectangular unit, and the permit stalls. On Palm Beach, the Architectural Commission holds design review over historic and contributing structures. We match the profile on paper before you buy the door.
• Impact retrofit on a rough opening that was never right to begin with. Many 1950s CBS homes on the island have openings that were poured out of square. A modern impact door won’t sit cleanly without shimming that looks worse than the old door did. We correct the opening before installation, not after.
