AfterImpact Entry & French Doors in Boynton Beach, FL
Impact entry and French doors in Boynton Beach typically range from $3,500 to $8,500 per unit installed, depending on the material, the hardware specifications, and the condition of the existing frame. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we specialize in Impact Windows & Doors services that include replacing standard residential doors with impact-rated entry systems meeting stringent Florida building codes, ensuring your home remains secure against severe weather while maintaining the curb appeal you expect. If you are looking for a solution that prioritizes structural integrity and reliable craftsmanship, call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate.
We believe that an entry door is more than a way to get in and out of the house. It is the primary barrier between your family and the outside world. When we talk about impact-rated doors, we are not talking about simple storm shutters or light-duty frames. We are talking about heavy-gauge materials and high-performance glass designed to withstand the debris and pressure associated with coastal weather. Founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, our team brings years of combined trade experience to every job. We have seen how improper installation leads to water intrusion and seal failure, which is why we follow the Keystone Standard on every project. This means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and our Done Right Promise ensures that if something is not perfect, we make it right without the runaround.
Whether you are upgrading for security, energy efficiency, or simply because your current doors are binding in the summer heat, our team is here to help.

When You Need Impact Entry & French Doors
Living in Boynton Beach means dealing with specific environmental factors that wear down building materials faster than in other parts of the country. We often hear from homeowners who are struggling with doors that no longer function as they should. You likely need an evaluation if you are noticing these specific issues:
- The door binds or sticks in the summer: If your door is difficult to open or close during the humid months, it is often a sign that the frame has shifted or the material has expanded beyond its tolerances. This is common in older homes where the foundation has settled or the original framing was not braced for the weight of modern impact glass.
- Visible seal failure or fogging: If you see moisture trapped between the panes of glass in your French doors, the seal has failed. Once this seal breaks, the unit loses its energy efficiency and its impact rating is compromised because the glass is no longer structurally sound.
- Corrosion on hinges and hardware: The salt air in Boynton Beach is relentless. If your hinges are showing signs of heavy pitting or rust, the integrity of the entire door system is at risk. We replace these with marine-grade hardware that holds up to the local climate.
- Drafts and light leaks: If you can see daylight around the edges of your door when it is closed, you have a gap. This allows air conditioning to escape and, more importantly, allows water to penetrate during heavy rain. We see this frequently in older installations where the weatherstripping has hardened and lost its ability to create a tight seal.
- Security concerns: If your current door uses a standard lockset that feels flimsy or the frame itself is showing signs of rot, it is not offering the protection your home requires. An impact-rated door is built to resist forced entry, providing a physical barrier that standard wood doors simply cannot match.
These issues are not just inconveniences. They are indicators that your home’s primary security and weather barrier is failing. If you notice any of these signs, call (561) 708-6771 to speak with a member of our team. We do not use high-pressure sales tactics; we simply look at what you have, explain what is wrong, and provide a clear, written quote for the repair or replacement.
Our Impact Entry & French Doors Process
We do not treat door replacement as a simple transaction. It is a craft. When we arrive at your home, we are there to ensure that the new unit performs exactly as the manufacturer intended. We follow a strict process to ensure that your investment is protected by the manufacturer’s warranty and our own workmanship guarantee.
- On-site Assessment and Precise Measurement: We do not rely on rough estimates. A technician comes to your home, measures the rough opening, and checks the level and plumb of the existing frame. We check for rot or structural damage in the substrate that might need attention before the new door is set.
- Side-by-Side Product Comparison: We are an authorized installer for brands like. We bring the catalogs and the facts to your table. We show you the specific features of different doors so you can see exactly what you are paying for, whether it is the frame material, the glass thickness, or the locking mechanism.
- Removal and Substrate Preparation: This is where most shortcuts happen. We carefully remove the old door and inspect the opening. If the wood framing is compromised, we address it. We do not install a new, high-quality door into a rotting frame. We ensure the opening is square, plumb, and ready to accept the new unit.
- Installation and Anchoring: We set the door according to the specific manufacturer’s installation instructions, which are required for the warranty to remain valid. We use the correct anchors and spacing to meet Florida’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. This ensures the door is anchored to the structure, not just the trim.
- Sealing and Finishing: We apply high-grade sealant to the exterior perimeter to prevent water intrusion. We check the operation of the door, the alignment of the deadbolt, and the compression of the weatherstripping. We do not leave until the door operates smoothly and closes securely.
- Warranty Registration and Cleanup: Before we leave your property, we register the manufacturer warranties and provide you with the documentation. We clean up all debris, leaving your home exactly as we found it, only better protected.
This process is how we uphold the Keystone Standard. We take the time to do it right the first time because we want to be the last contractor you ever have to call for your Impact Garage Doors, windows, and entry systems. If you have questions about how we handle specific openings or complex architectural details, call us at (561) 708-6771.
Impact Entry & French Doors Pricing in Boynton Beach
Pricing for impact doors varies significantly based on the size of the opening, the material (fiberglass, steel, or aluminum), and the configuration (single door, double door, or door with sidelights). We believe in upfront pricing. We do not hide costs, and we do not add surprise line items to the bill at the end of the job.
The following table provides an honest look at what you can expect in the Boynton Beach market for a professional-grade installation.
| Door Type | Estimated Installed Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Single Impact Entry Door | $3,500 - $5,500 |
| Impact French Door System (Double) | $5,500 - $8,500+ |
| Entry Door with Sidelights/Transom | $6,000 - $10,000+ |
These figures include the cost of the door, the professional installation, the removal and disposal of your old door, and all necessary sealing materials. Several factors can influence where your project falls within these ranges:
- Hardware Upgrades: A standard handle set is included, but high-end multi-point locking systems or custom finishes will adjust the price.
- Glass Options: Decorative glass, obscure glass for privacy, or high-performance tints for energy efficiency will change the cost of the unit.
- Substrate Repair: If we open the wall and find wood rot in the header or the jambs, we will need to address that to ensure the new door is secure. We always discuss this with you before proceeding.
- Configuration: A simple replacement is more cost-effective than changing the size of the opening or adding architectural elements like sidelights or transoms.
We offer free estimates for all projects. We will come to your home, assess your specific needs, and provide a written quote that stays valid. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, as well as a maintenance check if you are not ready for a full replacement. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule your appointment.
FAQs - Impact Entry & French Doors
How long does the installation of an impact entry door take in Boynton Beach?
Most standard entry door replacements are completed in a single visit, typically taking between four to eight hours. We prioritize getting the opening sealed and the door operational within the same day so that your home remains secure. If you are replacing a complex French door system with sidelights or transoms, or installing Impact Sliding Glass Doors, it may take a full day to ensure every element is perfectly aligned and sealed. Call (561) 708-6771 to get an accurate timeline for your specific project.
Is it cheaper to repair my current door or replace it with an impact system?
If your door is simply binding or needs new weatherstripping, a repair is often the most cost-effective solution. However, if the door is rotting, the seal has failed, or you are looking to improve your home’s security and energy efficiency, a replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Repairing a door that is structurally compromised is like putting a bandage on a deep wound. We will always give you an honest assessment of whether a repair is viable or if a replacement is the smarter choice for your home.
Can you install impact doors in homes that were built before 2000?
Yes, we frequently upgrade older homes in Boynton Beach to current impact standards and Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance. The process requires careful preparation of the opening, as older framing can sometimes be out of square or require reinforcement to handle the weight of modern impact-rated units. We have the experience to handle these older structures correctly, ensuring that the new door functions properly and meets all current building codes. If you are concerned about the age of your home, call us at (561) 708-6771 to discuss your options.
How do I know if an impact door is actually “impact-rated”?
Every impact-rated door we install comes with specific documentation, including the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or a Florida Product Approval number. This is the certification that proves the door has been tested to withstand high-velocity wind loads and debris impact. We provide this documentation with your warranty paperwork. Do not trust a door that is marketed as “storm-ready” without verifiable product approval codes. We only install units that are fully certified for our region.
A Note on Safety: Impact-rated doors are significantly heavier than standard residential doors, and their installation requires precise anchoring to the structural framing of your home. Attempting to install these doors yourself or using an uncertified contractor can result in serious injury or a door that fails to provide the protection you paid for. We strongly recommend using trained, professional installers for any exterior door project involving impact glass. If you are ready to secure your home, call (561) 708-6771 for an estimate from our team.
