AfterEntry & Swing Doors in Greenacres, FL
Door Installation services in Greenacres, FL typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on the door material, impact rating requirements, and hardware selections, with most standard replacements completed in a single day. If your current door binds in the humidity, leaks during heavy storms, or fails to latch securely, it is likely time for a professional assessment. We are TruePane Windows & Doors, and we help homeowners in Greenacres solve these issues permanently by focusing on the install details others skip.
A door is only as strong as its frame and its seal. In our local climate, heat and moisture are the primary enemies of residential entryways. We have been serving local communities since 2008, and we have learned that the difference between a door that lasts a decade and one that fails in three years comes down to how it is shimmed, flashed, and sealed. If you are looking for a company that does not cut corners and ensures the work is done right the first time, call us at (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate.

When You Need Entry & Swing Doors
We often hear from homeowners who assume a sticky door or a drafty entryway is just a normal part of living in South Florida. It is not. A properly installed Storm Door should operate with a gentle push, seal tight against the weather, and provide the security your family deserves. Here are the common symptoms we see in Greenacres homes that indicate a replacement is necessary:
- Binding or Rubbing: If your door scrapes against the threshold or the strike plate, the frame has likely shifted. In our climate, wood frames can absorb moisture and swell, causing these alignment issues. We replace these with composite jambs that resist rot and expansion.
- Air and Light Leaks: If you can see daylight around the edges of your door, you are paying for air conditioning that is escaping outside. This is a common failure point for older installations that did not use proper flashing or high-quality weatherstripping.
- Hardware Failure: A sagging door often puts undue stress on the hinges and the locking mechanism. If you find yourself lifting the handle to get the deadbolt to throw, the structural integrity of the door assembly is compromised.
- Seal Failure or Fogging: If you have a door with glass inserts, moisture between the panes is a sign that the seal has failed. This is not repairable and requires a full glass or door unit replacement to restore your view and energy efficiency.
- Security Concerns: Older, hollow-core, or non-impact rated doors provide very little resistance to forced entry or debris during a storm. Upgrading to a solid-core or impact-rated door is a practical security investment for any Greenacres home.
- Rot at the Threshold: Because of our frequent rain, we often find sub-floor rot underneath the door threshold. We don’t just swap the door; we inspect the sub-flooring to ensure the new door has a solid, level foundation.
The TruePane Approach to Installation
Founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, our company operates on a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We do not use subcontractors or franchise playbooks. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to follow The Keystone Standard. This is our internal protocol for ensuring every install meets our warranty requirements before we leave your property.
- Precision Measurement: We measure your opening twice. We account for the specific material thickness of the new door, the clearance required for your flooring, and the specific wind-load requirements for your street in Greenacres.
- Side-by-Side Quote: We do not guess. We bring manufacturer lines from brands like Pella, Marvin, and Milgard to your home. You see the options on paper, understand the differences in impact ratings and energy efficiency, and choose what fits your budget and needs.
- Removal and Inspection: We carefully remove the old door unit and inspect the rough opening. In many older Greenacres homes, we find hidden water damage or settling issues in the framing. We address these before installing the new unit, ensuring the new door is set into a solid, square frame.
- Installation and Shimming: A door is only as good as its level. We shim the frame at every anchor point to ensure the door hangs perfectly straight. This prevents the binding and sagging issues that plague poorly installed doors.
- Flashing and Sealing: This is the most critical step for our climate. We use professional-grade flashing and sealants to create an airtight, watertight barrier between your home and the elements. This prevents the moisture intrusion that causes rot.
- Warranty Registration: Before our truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing. You are never left to fight with a manufacturer or handle paperwork after we are gone. This is part of our commitment to you.

Safety and Professional Installation
Installing a Pivot Door or swing door is not a simple DIY project. These units are heavy, often weighing over 150 pounds, and they require precise alignment to function safely. More importantly, an improperly installed door can compromise your home’s security and its ability to withstand severe weather. We frequently see doors that were installed without proper anchoring, which can be a significant hazard during high-wind events. If you are struggling with a door that is heavy, difficult to operate, or showing signs of structural failure, we strongly recommend calling a trained professional. Our technicians are equipped to handle the weight and the technical requirements of these installations, ensuring that your door is secure, compliant with local codes, and safe for your family to use every day.
FAQs - Entry & Swing Doors
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my entry door?
In many cases, a simple hardware adjustment or weatherstripping replacement is all that is needed, and we will tell you if that is the case. However, if the door frame is rotting, the door is delaminating, or the security of the unit is compromised by structural damage, repair is often a temporary fix that costs more in the long run. We provide honest assessments; if we can fix it for less, we will tell you. Call (754) 339-0784 for a professional evaluation.
How long does a typical door installation take?
Most standard entry and swing door replacements are completed in a single day. We arrive with the tools, the materials, and the experience to handle the removal, installation, and cleanup without leaving you with an unfinished opening. We plan our schedule to ensure we are there when we say we will be, and we stay until the job is done right.
Do you handle impact-rated doors for hurricane protection?
Yes, we are authorized installers for several manufacturer lines that offer high-performance, impact-rated doors designed to meet the strict wind-load requirements in Florida. These doors provide excellent security and energy efficiency, and we ensure they are installed according to the specific anchoring requirements mandated by local codes. We can discuss these options during your free estimate.

If you notice any issues with the operation, fit, or finish of your new door within the first 90 days, we will return to correct it. There is no paperwork, no arguing, and no fine print.
