AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Greenacres
Door installation in Greenacres typically runs $1,100-$4,800 depending on the door type, the condition of your rough opening, and whether you need impact-rated glazing. Most entry door replacements in this city take one day, though jobs that involve cutting new openings into concrete block run longer. We know Greenacres homes because we work on them every week. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
If you own one of the CBS homes built between the mid-1960s and early 1990s that fill this city, you already know the walls don’t give. That changes how a door goes in. We plan for it before the first cut.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve replaced enough doors in Greenacres to know what’s behind the drywall before we open it. The city’s housing stock is overwhelmingly concrete block single-family homes from the 1960s through the early 1990s. Those homes hide aluminum wiring, termite-weakened framing, and jalousie windows that can’t meet current Florida Building Code. A door replacement here is rarely just a door. It’s an opening into whatever the original builder left behind.
Our Door Installation team includes background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. That matters when the quote has to account for masonry cutting, permit-required upgrades, and waterproofing details that wood-frame towns don’t deal with. We don’t guess. We open the wall, see what’s there, and price it in writing before we proceed.
Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. Dale Kessler founded this company on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- Entry door installation in Greenacres runs $1,100-$4,800; impact-rated units run higher.

- Any permitted door work forces full replacement of jalousie windows in the house.
- We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the job.

Our Door Installation Services in Greenacres
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Greenacres entry doors are original to the house: contractor-grade steel or hollow-core units with failing weatherstripping and hinges that sag from decades of humidity. Replacing one in a CBS wall means pulling the old frame, inspecting the masonry jamb for cracks, and setting a new pre-hung unit with a proper sill pan and backer rod before caulk. We do this every week on homes near Melaleuca Drive, Sherwood Forest Boulevard, and Jog Road. A typical entry door replacement here runs $1,500-$4,800 depending on whether you choose impact-rated glazing.
Impact-Rated Exterior Doors
Greenacres sits roughly 12 miles inland, which puts it in Florida Building Code wind-speed territory requiring about 140-mph design resistance. That means any permitted exterior door must be impact-rated or protected with a shutter system. Homeowners across Greenacres are upgrading under insurance pressure, not just aesthetics. PGT and Jeld-Wen both make impact-rated door lines we install regularly here. A full impact entry system typically runs $2,800-$6,500 in this market.
Double & French Doors
We do a lot of double French door conversions on Greenacres patios. The original aluminum sliders in these 1970s and 1980s CBS homes bind in the humidity and leak during the wet season. Converting to a double French door means cutting the masonry opening wider, which we do with wet-saw cutting to keep dust down. On a home near Greenacres Elementary off Jog Road, we removed a 1980s aluminum slider and set a double French door with a fusion-welded frame, flashing tape at the jamb, and impact-rated low-E glazing with argon fill. The stucco stayed intact, and the homeowner’s insurance carrier accepted the wind mitigation credit.
Arched & Custom Doors
Some Greenacres homes, especially the slightly newer builds near the western edges of the city, have arched entryways or oversized front doors that off-the-shelf units won’t fill. We order custom radius-top doors through manufacturer lines we’re authorized to install, including Jeld-Wen, Simonton, and PGT. Custom arched doors in Greenacres run $3,500-$8,000 or more depending on size, glazing, and hardware. The measurement has to be exact, because the masonry arch won’t flex to hide a mistake.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Greenacres we lean on PGT most often. PGT’s impact-rated products carry product approvals accepted by Palm Beach County building officials, and Jeld-Wen’s pre-hung entry systems hold up in the humidity we get here. We keep local stock moving through our South Florida office, so when a Greenacres customer needs a threshold, hinge, or weatherstrip, we’re not waiting a week on a freight truck from Georgia. We quote these lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard remain available for homeowners who want them. We install all of them, and we register both warranty layers on every line before we leave.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Masonry-bound rough openings that fight the frame. CBS homes don’t have wood studs to shim against. The rough opening is concrete block, and cutting or grinding it square takes diamond blades and patience. A sloppy installer will force the frame in and leave stress points that crack the stucco within two years.
- Jalousie doors and windows that can’t be retrofitted. The original louvered glass entries on 1960s Greenacres homes have no approved impact retrofit. The moment you pull a permit for any door work, every jalousie unit in the house has to go. That single door call becomes a whole-house window job, and we tell you that before you commit to the permit.
- Hidden aluminum wiring behind the entry wall. Opening an entry wall in a 1960s or 1970s Greenacres home frequently exposes aluminum branch wiring. Current code requires remediation at the point of work, which can add $300-$900 to the job. We write an electrical allowance into every Greenacres contract that involves opening an exterior wall.
- Water intrusion at the block-to-frame interface. Older Greenacres doors were set directly against block with nothing but caulk. Over time, water wicks into the masonry and causes hidden mold or stucco cracking. We install sill pans, flashing tape at the jambs, and backer rod before caulk on every exterior door we set in this city.

FAQs - Door Installation in Greenacres
Because current Florida Building Code has no approved method to retrofit jalousie windows for impact resistance, so any permitted opening work forces full removal and replacement of every jalousie unit in the house. Greenacres has an unusually high concentration of these louvered units from its 1960s building boom, which means a single door permit here reliably turns into a whole-house window and door job. We walk you through that before you pull the permit so there are no surprises. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll explain exactly what your house will require.
We cut it with diamond blades, and we do it wet to control silica dust while protecting the existing stucco. CBS walls are masonry-bound, so there’s no stud framing to adjust. The opening has to be cut square, then we set the frame with flashing tape at the jambs and a proper sill pan to stop water from wicking into the block. It’s slower than a wood-frame cut, and the price reflects that.
In most cases, yes. Palm Beach County insurers apply wind mitigation credits for impact-rated openings, and many homeowners in Greenacres are facing non-renewal notices unless they upgrade to impact-rated doors and windows. We provide the documentation your carrier needs, including product-approval numbers and a completed wind mitigation inspection form. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll talk through what your policy requires.
If your home was built before about 1980, there’s a good chance the entry wall contains aluminum branch wiring, which current code requires remediation when the wall is opened. We write an electrical allowance into every Greenacres contract that involves opening an exterior wall, typically $300-$900, so the cost is visible upfront and approved in writing before any work proceeds. No surprise line items at the end.
We install a sill pan under every exterior door, flashing tape at the jambs, and backer rod behind the caulk bead to create a continuous drainage plane that water can’t bypass. On Greenacres CBS homes, the block-to-frame interface is the number one leak point, and most original doors were set with nothing but caulk, which fails within a few seasons. Our Done Right Promise covers this work, and if water gets through in that window, we make it right without arguing.
