Why Wellington Homeowners Call TruePane First
Our crews know Wellington’s housing stock because they have worked on it for years. Most of the village’s core neighborhoods, Sugar Pond Manor, Paddock Park, Palm Beach Little Ranches, went up between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. That means the original door in a Wellington home is likely a hollow-core slab in an undersized CBS jamb, with weatherstripping that gave out a decade ago. We measure every opening twice before quoting, so the number we put on paper is the number on the final bill.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That principle carries through every door we hang in Wellington. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds here because we plan to be in this community in thirty years, still answering the phone.
Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
Entry & Swing Doors
A front door in Wellington does two jobs: it is the first thing an HOA architectural committee sees, and it is the first line of protection in a wind-borne debris zone. We install impact-rated fiberglass and steel entry systems from PGT and Jeld-Wen, set in true jambs sized for the weight. Most Wellington entry door replacements run $1,800-$3,800 installed, depending on glass package and hardware.

Storm Doors
Wellington’s older CBS homes often have a decent entry door but no storm protection on the secondary exterior door. A storm door buys you an extra layer of wind and rain defense for $400-$1,100. We stock frames that work with the shallow jambs common in 1980s planned-community construction, so the finished product seals tight and swings clean.

Arched & Custom Doors
The equestrian corridor around Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill has some of the most architecturally demanding door openings in the village. Oversized arches, custom transoms, specific wood-like grain profiles. TruePane is your best option for any custom door project in Wellington. We work with our manufacturers to match frame color, glass tint, and panel profile to your HOA’s approved list, then we handle the submittal packet. Custom arched door installations typically start around $2,500 and climb with size and glass spec.

Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are showing up more in Wellington’s newer and renovated estates, especially along the golf and polo communities. They’re heavy, and they demand a subframe that will not settle or twist in Florida’s humidity. We have installed enough of them in Palm Beach County’s high-wind zone to know what the inspectors want to see. Pricing starts near $4,800 for a standard oversized pivot, installed with a properly engineered header and saddle.

Do I Need HOA Approval Before Installing a New Front Door in Wellington?
Yes, in nearly every Wellington community. This is the part of the process that surprises homeowners, and it is also where we earn our keep. Olympia, Versailles, Isles at Wellington, Buena Vida, each one keeps an Architectural Review Committee approved-product list. That list dictates allowable frame colors, glass tints, grid patterns, and sometimes the panel profile itself. A door that meets Florida Building Code impact standards can be rejected because the bronze is the wrong bronze or the low-E tint is a shade too dark.
In Paddock Park, our crew replaced a hollow-core entry door with a ViewLux impact-rated swing door after the HOA approved a specific bronze frame finish and clear low-E glass. We filed the submittal packet with the Palm Beach County Building Division the same week, and while the permit was in review we pre-hung the door in our shop so the actual install took one morning.
That is how we schedule every Wellington door job. We clear the HOA first, immediately file with the county, and use the review window to prep the unit. Your opening never sits half-finished waiting on a committee.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- HOA rejection after purchase. Someone buys a door online or through a big-box store, gets it delivered, and the architectural committee turns it down because the color or grid pattern is not on the approved list. The return and reorder adds three to five weeks. We quote from the approved list from day one.
- Permit delay from an incomplete packet. Palm Beach County Building Division will not release a permit for a door replacement without the HOA approval letter and, on impact-rated units, the wind load calculations. If those documents are missing, the opening stays boarded. We assemble the full submittal before anything goes to the county.
- New door, old jamb. Older CBS homes in Wellington were built with jambs sized for hollow-core doors. Hang an impact-rated panel that weighs three times as much and the jamb twists, the door binds, and air leaks before the first storm. We inspect the rough opening and replace the jamb when the math says we should.
- Weatherstripping gone in a humid climate. Wellington’s year-round humidity above 70% and UV index that routinely tops 10 destroy old glazing compounds and seals fast. A door that looks fine can be bleeding conditioned air every afternoon. We reflash and reseal the full perimeter on every install.
Pricing for Door Installation in Wellington, FL
Straight numbers. A standard entry door replacement in Wellington runs $1,200-$2,200 for a non-impact steel or fiberglass unit, and $2,400-$3,800 for an impact-rated PGT or Jeld-Wen with a full frame replacement. Storm doors run $400-$1,100. Arched and custom doors start around $2,500 and rise with size, glass package, and hardware. Pivot doors start near $4,800.
What moves the price is the HOA approval step, which is usually straightforward once you know the list; the condition of the rough opening; and whether the jamb needs to be replaced. We write every quote as a line item on paper, no surprises on the bill. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate. A live person answers.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We are an authorized installer for PGT, and Ply Gem, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. That matters in Wellington because the HOA approved lists often name a manufacturer and a specific product line or color; a contractor who only carries one brand cannot serve every community. We keep side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.

FAQs - Door Installation in Wellington
Yes. Nearly every Wellington community, including Olympia, Versailles, Isles at Wellington, and Buena Vida, requires Architectural Review Committee approval before any exterior door work. The committee checks your door against an approved-product list that covers frame color, glass tint, grid pattern, and panel profile. We prepare and file that packet for you, then submit the county permit once the HOA signs off. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote, the estimate is free.
Most Wellington HOA architectural reviews take one to three weeks, depending on when the committee meets. The county permit review typically runs another week or two. We schedule around that window by pre-hanging your door in our shop while the paperwork clears, so the actual install usually takes one morning once approvals are in hand. If you want a firm timeline for your specific community, call us at (561) 708-6771.
Twisted or undersized jambs. Most Wellington CBS homes built from the 1970s through the mid-90s have original door frames sized for hollow-core doors. When you hang an impact-rated panel that weighs two or three times more, the jamb deflects and the door binds, usually worse in summer when humidity swells the framing. We inspect the rough opening before quoting and replace the jamb when the numbers call for it. To schedule a door assessment, call (561) 708-6771.
Sometimes, if the existing jamb is straight, properly anchored to the CBS rough opening, and sized for the weight of an impact-rated door. Most original Wellington jambs are not. We measure side-wall deflection, check the hinge mortise depth, and confirm the rough opening is square before making that call. If the jamb can stay, we tell you and the price drops. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free, no-commitment look at your opening.
Yes, and many Wellington homeowners are doing exactly this. Palm Beach County carriers increasingly demand proof of opening protection or reward it with meaningful premium cuts. A door that meets FBC impact standards, installed with a documented permit and a registered warranty, is evidence your carrier can actually use. We provide the documents you need after every install. Call (561) 708-6771 to talk through your specific policy and what your door upgrade might do to it.
