We’re a locally owned, owner-operated company founded in 2011, and we’ve been authorized installers for Therma-Tru, PGT, CGI, and other premium brands for over a decade.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company

Wellington homeowners call us because we know the difference between a door that looks good and a door that passes a Palm Beach County wind mitigation inspection. The village sits on a flat, unobstructed inland plain, so there’s no natural wind break between the Everglades and your front entry. Every replacement door here must carry a valid Florida Product Approval. We’ve pulled permits through Palm Beach County for hundreds of Wellington door replacements, and our crews know exactly what the inspectors look for.

Our Door Installation team shows up in uniform, background-checked, and on schedule. When we replaced a corroded 1980s aluminum slider on a CBS home off Greenbriar Boulevard with a PGT WinGuard impact-rated sliding glass door, the homeowner got the full sequence: permit, install, final inspection, and wind mitigation documentation sent to the insurer. No shortcuts. No mystery subcontractors. Ed Winslow personally stands behind every job with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability no national chain will put in writing.

We don’t bury our address or license number behind a ticket system. We publish them. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. That level of transparency matters when you’re spending $2,500 to $12,000 on a door that has to protect your family when a hurricane makes landfall.

Our Door Installation Services in Wellington

Entry Doors

A new front entry door on a Wellington CBS home typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 installed, depending on material, glass package, and whether it’s a single or double door. We install Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors and Mr-Glass impact-rated systems, both of which hold up better in Wellington’s subtropical UV and humidity than painted steel. If your current door is original to a late-1980s or 1990s build, the threshold is likely rotted and the jamb has settled. A proper replacement includes the full frame, not just the slab.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Wellington’s wind zone means a hurricane-proof entry door isn’t optional on new construction, and it’s the smart upgrade on any replacement. These doors carry Florida Product Approval and are tested to withstand windborne debris at 140-150 mph. We install CGI and Therma-Tru impact-rated entry systems with laminated glass and reinforced frames. If you live in one of the original Wellington subdivisions built before Palm Beach County hardened its post-Andrew codes, this is the single highest-value door upgrade you can make. The insurance wind mitigation credit alone often pays back a meaningful share of the cost over a few years.

French & Double Doors

French and double door systems are common on Wellington’s larger single-family homes, especially on rear patios facing the lake or preserve. A double impact-rated French door set starts around $3,800 and can reach $9,000 for wide openings needing custom engineering. The challenge with French doors on an inland plain is racking: when the frame isn’t perfectly square and the astragal isn’t sealed, you get air leaks and water intrusion at the first heavy summer squall. We square the rough opening, install a reinforced mullion where required, and document everything for your record.

Replacement Doors

Most Wellington door replacements are driven by one of three things: a failed wind mitigation inspection, a corroded aluminum frame, or a homeowner who’s tired of a door that sticks every June when the humidity peaks. A standard single replacement door with impact-rated glass runs $2,200 to $4,800. We remove the old jamb rather than sliding a new pre-hung unit into wood that’s been wicking moisture for 35 years. That matters in Wellington’s flat, humid terrain, where a reused jamb can sag within a season and pull the weatherstripping out of alignment.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington

We’re authorized installers for eight premium lines, including Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass. Being an authorized installer matters because it means we can offer the full manufacturer warranty, not a no-name labor-only promise. When a Wellington homeowner needs a specific glass package or a custom size for a non-standard opening, we can quote it accurately the first time. We don’t stock every unit locally, but we coordinate fabrication and delivery specifically for Wellington jobs, and we schedule installs so you’re not waiting weeks between when the old door comes out and the new one goes in.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes

• Non-compliant big-box doors failing permit inspections. Homeowners buy a door at a warehouse store, schedule an install, and get red-tagged because the unit has no Florida Product Approval. The door goes back, the money gets tied up for weeks, and the old door is already out.
• Reusing old aluminum jambs on heavyweight impact doors. A large-missile impact door can weigh 150 pounds or more. The original aluminum jamb from a 1980s CBS home was never designed for that load. Reusing it leads to sagging, air leaks, and broken weatherstripping within a season or two.
• Skipping the wind mitigation inspection. You spent $6,000 on a compliant door. The install is clean. But no one filed the wind mitigation documentation, so the county never records the upgrade and your insurer never applies the Florida Statute 627.0629 premium credit. We handle that paperwork as part of the install.
• Moisture intrusion at the threshold on older slab homes. Wellington’s flat terrain and high water table mean door thresholds on 1990s slab-on-grade homes are prone to rot and settlement. A new door on an old, unlevel threshold leaks within months. We inspect and repair the threshold as part of every install.

What Door Installation Costs in Wellington

Think in bands, not exacts, until we measure your opening. For Wellington’s dominant CBS housing stock, impact-rated doors generally run $900 to $1,800 per unit for straightforward replacements. Large or custom openings, common on the equestrian estate properties near the polo grounds, push $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home door packages where you’re replacing a front entry, rear slider, and side garage door together land $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on count and glass package. Wellington’s wind zone doesn’t change the material cost much, but it does mean you can’t buy the cheap non-rated door from a warehouse and expect it to pass inspection. The Florida Product Approval is non-negotiable here. We include a free in-home measure and written quote with every conversation. Call (561) 660-9539.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s real money on the table for Wellington homeowners who install impact-rated doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Wellington homes are squarely eligible when the application window is open. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6% to 7% on the full invoice. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150 in Palm Beach County, most Wellington homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t set the program rules or the carrier numbers, but we do file the paperwork that makes the credits possible. A cheap door-only quote from a guy with a pickup won’t.

Here’s the comparison that clarifies the decision: an impact door gives you permanent protection that’s already in place when the storm hits. Hurricane shutters require someone to be home, physically able, and willing to wrestle panels in 40 mph gusts. If you’re a seasonal Wellington homeowner who’s in Kentucky or New York when a September storm turns toward Florida, shutters rely on a neighbor or a property manager. An impact-rated door doesn’t. That’s the difference between protection that’s there when you are and protection that’s there when you aren’t. And when you compare a big-box retail install to a licensed impact specialist, the critical question is whether the person doing the work knows what a Florida Product Approval number means and which design pressure rating matches your specific opening. We do. It’s our name on the permit.

How Wellington’s 140-150 mph Wind Zone Changes Your Door Decision

Here’s what most door companies won’t tell you, and it’s the single most important fact on this page. Wellington sits on a flat, unobstructed inland plain, which means the Florida Building Code places the village at roughly 140-150 mph design wind speeds. Every replacement exterior door must carry a valid Florida Product Approval number. This is different from neighboring coastal cities where HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) rules apply differently, and it’s different from Royal Palm Beach or Loxahatchee where standard residential door lines satisfy most jobs. In Wellington, a non-rated door from a warehouse store is a code violation the moment it’s installed, and it fails the permit inspection. A compliant quote includes the Florida Product Approval paperwork, the Miami-Dade NOA where applicable, the permit pulled through Palm Beach County, the post-install inspection, and the wind mitigation documentation filed for your insurer. A cheap quote leaves all of that out, because the cheap quote is doing a different job than the one you need.
