AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach, FL runs $1,850 to $14,000 depending on the opening, the door type, and whether the property falls under ARCOM review. Most standard entry door replacements land between $2,400 and $5,800, while custom arched units for Mizner-era estates typically start around $6,500 and climb from there. We coordinate the permit, the ARCOM sign-off, and the install itself so you are not caught between a code inspector and a preservation board. Call (561) 708-6771 and a live person answers, day or night.
We know this island differently than a franchise crew out of a regional call center would. Palm Beach is not West Palm Beach. The salt air, the historic districts, the dual-approval process with the Town, the specific way a 1920s stucco jamb was built to receive a door. When we measure an opening on Seabreeze Avenue or South Ocean Boulevard, we are already looking for the things an out-of-town estimator would miss. That is the whole job.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company has been serving Florida communities since 2008 through a family trade tradition. We are not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be on this island in thirty years. Dale’s founding rule hangs on the whiteboard every morning: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to doors, too.
Every Palm Beach job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If the install is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing about who is responsible. That matters here, because a door that was hung slightly out of plumb on a landmark property becomes an ARCOM problem on top of a performance problem.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. And when you call TruePane, a live person picks up the phone. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That is the standard we have held since the beginning, and it is one of the reasons Palm Beach homeowners who have been burned once tend to stay with us for the next door, the next window, the next hurricane season.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach
Our Door Installation team handles the full range of residential openings on the island, from a straightforward front entry replacement to a fully custom arched unit that has to satisfy a preservation board. The four services below cover what most Palm Beach homes actually need.
Entry & Swing Doors
A front entry door on Worth Avenue or El Bravo Way has to do three jobs at once: hold wind load, resist salt corrosion, and look like it belongs on the house. Standard big-box fiberglass doors often fail the third test, and many fail the first. We install entry and swing doors that are engineered for the HVHZ wind zone and finished to match the property. In Palm Beach, that often means custom millwork around the jambs and a finish schedule approved by an architect.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors on a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home present a specific problem: the original opening was not built to modern impact standards, and the original brickmold is often long gone to rot or termites. We rebuild the rough opening, install a reinforced mullion where required, and hang doors that carry a Miami-Dade NOA. Then we rebuild the trim to match the original profile. It is more involved than a standard install, and it is the only way to do it correctly.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are common on intracoastal-facing rear elevations where owners want the wall to open to the terrace and pool. The hardware is the weak point in this climate. Standard rollers and tracks corrode fast. We specify marine-grade stainless hardware and stainless or powder-coated aluminum tracks, then adjust every panel so the line stays true when the door is fully open in July humidity. Lead time on these systems in Palm Beach runs six to ten weeks, so we order only after the opening is measured and the structural header is confirmed.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door is a statement piece, and on a Mizner-style home it has to be done right or it will look like a foreign object. The pivot point changes the load path entirely, which means the header, floor plate, and hinge system all need to be engineered together. We have installed pivot doors in Palm Beach that required custom steel headers and reinforced floor blocking to carry a 400-pound slab without sag. It is not a standard install, and it should not be priced or scheduled like one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Palm Beach work we lean on the lines that hold up to salt air: PGT among them. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can compare the NOA certification, the frame profile, and the glass package line by line. Because we are an authorized installer, the warranty registration happens before the truck leaves the driveway. Both layers. In writing. We also keep common replacement hardware and weatherstripping in local stock, which shortens turnaround when a Palm Beach door needs a repair rather than a full replacement.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on new hardware. Non-marine-grade hinges and weatherstripping on an impact door can corrode within two years on this island. We specify stainless or solid brass hardware on every exterior door within a half mile of the ocean, and we document the material grade in the quote so you know what you are paying for.
- ARCOM rejection after a code-compliant install. An NOA-certified door with a modern, flat frame profile on a landmark house can pass the building inspection and still get rejected by the Architectural Commission. We check ARCOM’s design guidelines before we order, and we have navigated enough of these reviews to know which frame profiles and glass reflectivities will clear.
- Flashing failures at the sill. Standard interior-market flashing tape degrades under relentless UV and salt spray, and the first symptom is a leak at the sill after the first real storm. On Palm Beach installs we use marine-grade flashing systems and a pan detail that drains outward, then we photograph the rough opening before the door goes in so you have a record of the work.
- Jamb rot hidden behind old trim. Many 1920s and 1930s homes on the island have original wood jambs that look fine from the outside and are powder behind the trim. We probe every jamb before quoting. If the wood is gone, the quote includes a new pressure-treated and epoxied jamb, not a surprise line item after demolition starts.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Standard entry door replacement in Palm Beach runs $2,400 to $5,800 installed, depending on the door slab, the glass package, and whether the existing jamb can be saved. Double French and folding door systems run $4,800 to $14,000, with the spread driven by the panel count, the track hardware, and structural work at the header. Pivot doors on the island start around $6,500 and frequently reach $15,000 or more once you factor in the engineering, the custom slab, and the reinforced floor plate. Arched and custom doors are the highest tier: $7,000 to $18,000 is a realistic range for a Mizner-era arched opening with true divided lites and a marine-grade steel frame.
Three things move the number in Palm Beach more than anywhere else. First, whether the property sits in a historic district and requires ARCOM review. Second, the distance from the ocean, which dictates the hardware grade. Third, whether the opening is standard. None of these are surprises in our quotes. We write the price in the contract before we order materials, and the price does not change after the permit is pulled. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate. We will come out, measure, and put the numbers on paper.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach
No. A Miami-Dade NOA means the door meets the structural wind-load standard for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, but the Town of Palm Beach can still require review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission or ARCOM if the property is a contributing structure in a historic district. ARCOM evaluates the door’s frame profile, glass reflectivity, muntin pattern, and overall visual compatibility with the original architecture. A door can pass the building code and still be rejected on design grounds. We check both paths before ordering materials. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will tell you where your property falls.
We rebuild the opening from the rough jamb out. That means removing the rotted wood, treating the exposed framing, installing a pressure-treated jamb and a reinforced mullion if the span requires it, and then reproducing the original brickmold profile in a rot-resistant material or a marine-grade wood specified for the exposure. On a landmark property, the trim profile is part of the character, so we match it rather than replacing it with off-the-shelf casing. The process adds one to two days to the install and it is the only way the door will last.
Fogging between the panes means the insulating glass unit’s seal has failed. Moisture has penetrated the space between the lites, and the door is not performing as a sealed unit even if the frame itself is not leaking. In Palm Beach, the combination of intense UV, salt air, and rapid temperature swings accelerates seal failure on units built with interior-market sealants. This is a warranty issue on a new door, and under The Keystone Standard we register both warranty layers in writing so the replacement glass is covered without a fight. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will inspect the unit.
Yes, in most cases. The arched opening stays as it is. What changes is the hardware path: the pivot point needs a reinforced header and a floor plate that can carry the door’s weight at a single point instead of distributing it across three or four hinges. We have installed pivot doors in Mizner-era homes where the original arched opening was preserved and the hardware was engineered to sit inside the existing jamb, not alter it. The slab itself can be fabricated with a radiused top to match the arch. This is custom work from the first measurement to the final adjustment.
Because a custom arched impact door is not cut from a stock blank. The glass has to be fabricated to the curve, the frame has to be engineered and built for the specific radius, and the NOA certification applies to the tested assembly, not to the components. A standard rectangular impact door might ship in two to four weeks. A custom arched unit typically runs eight to fourteen weeks, and the schedule is set by the factory, not by the installer. We submit the order only after the opening is measured and the design is approved, because a mis-ordered arched unit is a costly mistake that no one can return. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will walk you through the exact timeline for your opening.
