AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Delray Beach
Door installation in Delray Beach usually runs between $900 and $4,800 depending on whether you’re replacing a standard entry door, setting an impact-rated French door, or building out a custom arched unit. For homes needing full protection, we also install Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach. Most single-door replacements in Delray Beach take one day once the slab arrives, though historic district approvals can add a few weeks to the front end. If your door is binding in July or showing rust at the hinges from salt air, call us at (561) 708-6771. We’ll send a technician who measures every opening twice before we quote anything.
What makes Delray Beach different from Boca or Boynton is not just the housing stock. It’s the combination of a 1960s CBS building era, a historic preservation overlay, and a snowbird population that leaves homes unattended from May through November. A door that meets code in Orlando may not survive the first summer storm here. We spec every opening for Palm Beach County’s 160+ mph wind-borne debris standard, and we know which products the Historic Preservation Board will approve without a fight.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded the company in 2008 on a rule he keeps written on a whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard carries through every door we set in Delray Beach, from a simple storm door on a mid-century ranch in Chatelaine to a pivot door in a Pineapple Grove renovation. We do not sub out our work. Background-checked, uniformed technicians install every unit, and both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
We answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center reading from a script. When a snowbird customer in Lake Ida calls from Michigan at 9 p.m. to ask whether their back slider held up through a storm, they get a person who can pull up the job file. That kind of availability is rare these days, and it matters more in Delray Beach than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County because so many homes sit empty for half the year.
Our crews know the local permitting path well. We have guided dozens of Delray Beach homeowners through the city’s building department, including projects where the Historic Preservation Board required pre-approval of door muntin profiles before we could even order the slab. We tell you the timeline honestly on day one, not after the deposit clears.
Our Door Installation Services in Delray Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
Most of the entry doors we replace in Delray Beach are original 1960s or 1970s models on CBS homes in neighborhoods like Pines of Delray, Chatelaine, and the streets east of Federal Highway. These slabs are often hollow-core or thin steel with rusted hinge screws and weatherstripping that hardened years ago. We set new impact-rated fiberglass, steel, or wood entry doors rated to 160+ mph, with marine-grade hardware where salt air is a factor. Every opening is measured twice, and we quote the door slab and the frame as separate line items so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Delray Beach does more than keep rain off the front entry. It protects an expensive primary door from salt spray and UV exposure, which shortens the life of finishes and weatherstripping within a mile of A1A. We install full-view and ventilating storm doors with powder-coated frames that resist corrosion longer than standard mill finish aluminum. One trade secret we share with every customer: if the primary door faces east toward the ocean, count on replacing storm door hardware every five to seven years, not fifteen.
Arched & Custom Doors
Delray Beach has a surprising number of arched door openings, especially in the mid-century CBS homes and the Spanish-influenced builds scattered through the Nassau Park and Old School Square areas. Arch-top doors cannot be ordered off the shelf in most cases. We template each radius, shop the slab through our manufacturer lines, and order a true curved-top unit with matching impact glass. For homes in the historic overlay, we work with the board’s design guidelines from the first drawing, not as an afterthought. That saves you weeks and prevents a rejected product the manufacturer will not take back.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors are common in Delray Beach’s canal-front and Intracoastal homes, where owners want a full view of the water and a clear path to the patio. These doors carry more glass than a standard swing door, so the energy load and the wind load both go up. We set fusion-welded impact-rated vinyl and marine-grade aluminum French doors with low-E glass, tuned for the home’s exposure. On a canal-front home in Lake Ida we recently replaced a corroded aluminum slider with a pair of impact-rated French doors and stainless hardware. We also specialize in Sliding & Patio Doors - Delray Beach homeowners trust for water views and storm protection. The owner was away for the summer. The house kept itself secure through the season.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We are an authorized installer for Door Installation lines from PGT, and Ply Gem, among others. When a Delray Beach customer asks for a specific brand, we quote it side by side with comparable options on paper: load rating, glass package, warranty duration, and lead time. If you need a matching slab for a door we did not originally install, we can source it. If parts are available locally in Palm Beach County, we pull them same week. If they need to come from the manufacturer, we tell you the honest ETA before you commit.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion within a mile of A1A. Interior-grade hinges and weatherstripping start failing within two seasons. We see jambs that rust at the bottoms and sashes that sag because the hardware is eating itself. We spec marine-grade hardware on every coastal install as standard.
- Non-impact doors on street-facing walls. Palm Beach County code requires impact protection or a full impact-rated assembly on any door facing the street. An off-the-shelf swing door fails inspection, and a homeowner away for hurricane season has no one to throw up panels. Full impact-rated doors are the only practical answer for snowbird homes.
- Failed original sliders and jalousie inserts. Many 1960s CBS homes in Delray Beach still have the original aluminum sliders with jalousie glass. The insulated units fail, argon leaks out, and the sash weeps salt. Replacing just the glass is a short-term fix. The frame usually needs to go too.
- Historic Preservation Board rejections. In the Old School Square and Nassau Park overlays, the board requires replacement doors to match original profiles, including muntin patterns. An off-the-shelf impact door can be rejected on sight. We check the rules before we order, not after delivery.
Pricing for Door Installation in Delray Beach, FL
Here is what we quote in Delray Beach on a typical basis:
- Standard entry door replacement: $900-$2,200 installed, depending on slab material and whether we replace the frame.
- Impact-rated entry door: $1,800-$4,200 installed, including code-required anchoring and hardware.
- Storm door: $450-$1,100 installed, depending on glass package and frame finish.

- Double or French impact doors: $3,800-$8,500 installed, including reinforced frame and sill pan work.
These ranges are honest Delray Beach market prices, not teasers. The biggest variables are the slab material, the glass package, whether the rough opening needs reframing, and whether the historic board has to sign off. We provide a written line-item quote before any work starts, and we do not change the price once we are on-site unless we uncover something structural and show you in person first. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate. You’ll know the number before we touch a screwdriver.

FAQs - Door Installation in Delray Beach
Yes, but you need a door that matches the original muntin profile and meets Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris standard at the same time. That narrows the approved product list to a handful of manufacturers. We work with the Historic Preservation Board’s design guidelines from the first drawing, so your door gets pre-approved instead of rejected. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll tell you which lines make the cut for your specific opening.
A proper impact-rated door with a low-E glass package and a tight perimeter seal will cut down on air leakage and solar heat gain through the front of the house. Homeowners looking to lower cooling costs often pair this with Energy-Efficient Windows in Delray Beach for whole-home performance. The frame matters as much as the glass. We set every door with a full sill pan and backer rod, not a bead of caulk and a prayer. If your current door has daylight showing around the jamb, that’s conditioned air leaving your house every minute the AC runs.
A fully impact-rated door assembly, not a standard door with removable panels or accordion shutters. Rated impact glass and reinforced frames do not require anyone to deploy anything before a storm. That’s the setup we recommend for nearly every vacant-season home in Delray Beach, and it’s the only one that keeps the house protected when you’re 1,200 miles away in July. We register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
If the insulated glass unit has failed (fog between panes), the frame is corroded, or the rollers are worn through, weatherstrip is not going to fix it. Salt air accelerates all three failures within a mile of the ocean. The telltale sign is a sash that’s heavy to move or a visible gap at the meeting rail. We’ll inspect the door and tell you the straight answer, not the answer that sells a bigger job.
Most Delray Beach condo associations restrict door styles, finishes, and sometimes specific product grades. Many buildings on Federal Highway and A1A now have architectural review requirements and post-Surfside Milestone Inspection mandates driving building-wide replacements. We coordinate directly with HOAs and property managers, pulling their specifications before we order a single slab. If your association requires a specific manufacturer or profile, we quote it.

A door that binds in July, rusts by October, or fails a wind inspection the year you install it is not a deal. We build every Delray Beach door job to the same standard Dale Kessler set in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, all in writing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before we pull out of the driveway, and the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.
