AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Wellington
Door installation in Wellington, FL is most often an impact-rating job, not a simple swap. If your home sits in Paddock Park, Palm Beach Polo, Mallet Hill, or any of the other master-planned equestrian subdivisions built through the 1980s and 1990s, your exterior doors almost certainly predate Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew codes. That means a compliant replacement carries specific Florida Product Approval documentation and a permit-and-inspection sequence the inspector will not skip. TruePane Windows & Doors has done this work across Wellington long enough to know exactly what the inspector looks for and what your wind-mitigation carrier needs to see. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate on entry, French, bifold, or custom doors that meet code and stay square.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We grew up in this trade the way Wellington grew up as a town: deliberately, block by block, with no shortcuts. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he still writes on the whiteboard in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every door we set in Wellington, from a standard entry swing in a Paddock Park CBS ranch to an oversized custom arch on a barn-adjacent guest quarter. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, and Ply Gem, and we register both layers of warranty in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Wellington homeowners do not have time for a company that sends a different subcontractor every visit. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see what you are paying for. And when the job is done, we leave you with the permit closeout, the product approval document, and a written warranty registration, because your insurance carrier will ask for all three.
Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
We handle the full range of exterior and interior door work for Wellington homes, from the front entry to the barn-adjacent guest quarters that come with equestrian parcels. Every replacement we install carries the Florida Product Approval rating Palm Beach County code requires for this wind zone, and every opening gets measured for the original CBS block rough opening, not a one-size-fits-all assumption.
Entry & Swing Doors
Most of the entry doors we replace in Wellington are original 1980s or 1990s hollow-core units on wood jambs that have spent three decades in Florida humidity. The telltale signs are a slab that binds in summer, a weatherstrip that has flattened to nothing, and a sill that shows soft rot at the corners. We install reinforced fiberglass and steel entry systems sized for CBS block openings, with impact-rated glazing packages and new jambs built to carry the weight. A compliant entry door replacement in Wellington changes what your wind-mitigation report says, and that matters to your carrier.
Double & French Doors
Wellington homes built as equestrian showpieces often feature double French doors opening onto patios, pool decks, or courtyard spaces. The originals were rarely impact-rated, and after thirty years of inland UV load, the seals are often gone and the frames have oxidized. We install PGT and Jeld-Wen double door units with Florida Product Approval, proper flashing at the threshold, and astragal assemblies that close tight. If your double door faces east or west, expect the old glazing to show seal failure first; the inland sun here is relentless.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding door systems are becoming common in Wellington as homeowners open up living spaces to lanais and summer kitchens. These are not a handyman job. The panels are heavy, the hardware is finicky, and the rough opening has to be dead level or the whole system binds. We set bifold and folding door units on reinforced headers, with the track aligned to the existing CBS block so the panels glide without flexing. If you are pricing this work in Wellington, expect the opening prep to matter more than the door itself.
Pivot Doors
Custom pivot doors show up on Wellington’s higher-end equestrian estates and on newer construction where the architect wanted a statement entry. A pivot door carries its entire weight on top and bottom pivot hinges, not on standard side hinges, and that means the subfloor and header have to be engineered for the load. We have installed pivot systems in Palm Beach Polo and on oversize openings in barn-adjacent guest structures, and we will tell you honestly whether your existing framing can handle one or whether you are better off with a heavy-duty swing system.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Wellington we work most often with PGT for impact-rated systems for entry and double doors, and Ply Gem for value-driven replacements that still carry full Florida Product Approval. Because we install these lines every week across Palm Beach County, we can get Wellington customers faster turnaround on replacement parts and warranty service than a company that has to order blind. We quote manufacturers side by side on paper so you can see the difference in glass, frame, and warranty before you spend a dollar.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Non-impact doors flagged in wind-mitigation inspections. Wellington’s original 1980s and 1990s exterior doors were never built to meet post-Andrew code. When the wind-mitigation inspector flags an opening, the insurance carrier often responds with a premium surcharge or worse. The fix is a Florida Product Approved replacement, installed with a permit, documented on closeout.
- Warped slabs and rotted jambs from humidity. A hollow-core door on an original wood jamb in Wellington spends thirty years absorbing Gulf moisture. The slab warps, the jamb softens at the sill, and the latch stops lining up. Replacing just the slab on a bad jamb is throwing money away; the frame has to go too.
- Heavy impact-rated doors hung on original 1980s framing. A true impact-rated door is significantly heavier than what it replaces. The original wood jamb was never sized for that weight. Hang a PGT-rated slab on a thirty-year-old jamb and the whole assembly sags, the weatherstrip stops sealing, and the latch binds.
- Oversized barn-adjacent openings left out of compliance. Wellington’s equestrian parcels often include guest quarters, tack rooms, or barn offices with oversized exterior openings. Those are still part of the insured structure, and a non-rated door there leaves the whole parcel out of full wind-mitigation compliance.
Pricing for Door Installation in Wellington, FL
Entry and swing door replacement in Wellington typically runs $2,800 to $6,500 installed, depending on whether you need a single impact-rated slab or a pre-hung unit with a new jamb and sidelights. Double French door systems run $5,500 to $12,000, with the higher end covering impact-rated glazing and full reframing of a wide CBS opening. Bifold and folding door installations start around $6,000 and can exceed $18,000 for multi-panel systems on reinforced headers. Custom pivot doors on Wellington estates are quoted per opening, but expect $8,000 to $20,000 or more once the framing and hardware are engineered properly.
What moves the number in Wellington: the width of the rough opening (old CBS block openings are rarely plumb or square), whether the existing jamb is salvageable, whether the door carries Florida Product Approval, and whether the inspector requires a re-frame to current wind-load standards. Our quotes are line-item and fixed. No change orders, no surprise line items on the bill. Call (754) 339-0784 for an exact price on your opening; estimates are free.

FAQs - Door Installation in Wellington
Yes, in practice. Wellington sits 12 to 15 miles inland in Palm Beach County, which places it outside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), but the county’s design wind speed zone still requires every exterior door replacement to carry Florida Product Approval. That does not mean you need Miami-Dade NOA-rated products, which is useful, because it opens up a broader and often more affordable selection of approved units. It does mean a plain hollow-core slab from a home center will fail inspection. The inspector verifies the product approval label as part of the permit closeout.
A compliant Florida Product Approved entry door replacement in Wellington directly changes the openings section of your wind-mitigation report. Once our permit closeout and product approval document are on file, your carrier has what it needs to re-rate the policy. Many Wellington homeowners combine a front door replacement with impact-rated sidelights or a transom to cover the full opening, since a rated slab on non-rated glass beside it does not fully satisfy the underwriter. Call (754) 339-0784 and we can walk through what your specific opening needs to document for your carrier.
The original exterior doors in Paddock Park, Mallet Hill, and the other 1980s and 1990s Wellington subdivisions were set on untreated wood jambs with minimal flashing at the sill. Thirty-plus years of Florida humidity and storm-driven rain wick water up through the bottom corners, and the jamb rots from the inside out. By the time the slab binds or the weatherstrip flattens, the jamb is usually soft enough that driving a longer screw does nothing. The repair is a full pre-hung replacement, not a slab swap.
Yes. The barn-adjacent guest quarters and tack rooms on Wellington equestrian parcels often have arched or oversized rough openings that a standard door unit will not fit. We template the opening exactly, order a custom impact-rated unit sized for the existing CBS block, and frame the header to carry the additional weight. These are specialty configurations we see more often in Wellington than anywhere else in the county, and we treat each one as a one-off, not a catalog order.
A compliant quote includes the Florida Product Approved door unit, a new jamb sized for the CBS rough opening, flashing tape at the sill and jambs, the permit, the inspection, and the closeout documentation your insurance carrier needs for a wind-mitigation credit. A cheap quote leaves out the permit, reuses the original jamb, skips the flashing, and leaves you with no paperwork when the inspector or the underwriter asks. In Wellington, where insurance carriers routinely flag non-impact openings, that paperwork is the difference between a premium credit and a surcharge. Call (754) 339-0784 to get a line-item quote that shows exactly what you are paying for.
