AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Greenacres
Door installation in Greenacres typically costs $1,200 to $4,800 for a standard entry door and $2,000 to $8,000 for hurricane-rated French or double doors, with most jobs completed in one to two days once materials arrive. If your existing door is original to a 1970s-1990s CBS home, there’s a strong chance it’s hollow-core, jalousie, or single-pane aluminum - all of which fail Palm Beach County wind-mitigation standards. We replace those doors with impact-rated units that meet Florida Product Approval and actually hold up in this wind zone. Call (561) 660-9539 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
Our crews work throughout Greenacres, from the grid streets off Jog Road down to the neighborhoods near Lake Worth Road and Melaleuca Lane. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, but the technicians who show up at your door are background-checked, uniformed, and local to Palm Beach County.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We have been replacing doors on Greenacres’s compact CBS ranch homes long enough to know exactly what hides behind the old jamb. Original rough openings from the 1970s and 1980s were framed for hollow-core panels and aluminum sliders, not modern impact-rated door systems. When a crew does not re-square the opening and reset the threshold, the result is a door that binds in August and leaks air by November. Our team checks the rough opening, the header, and the floor condition before we ever quote a number, because that’s what separates a clean install from a callback.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, and on every job we do. We answer the phone with a live person 24/7. No call centers, no ticket numbers. When a Greenacres homeowner calls about a door that won’t latch or a sliding glass panel that’s fogged, they speak to someone who can actually help.
Our Door Installation Services in Greenacres
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Greenacres sits inside Palm Beach County’s roughly 140 mph design wind-speed zone. You don’t need Miami-Dade NOA here, but you absolutely need Florida Product Approval, and the door has to be installed to the engineering specifications that match your specific opening. We install impact-rated entry doors with large-missile rated laminated glass, three-point locking hardware, and reinforced jambs. For Greenacres homeowners dealing with Citizens Insurance wind-mitigation inspections, this is the door type that converts a failed inspection into a premium reduction.
Replacement Doors
Most of the replacement work we do in Greenacres involves pulling out original hollow-core entry doors and single-pane aluminum sliders that are 30 to 50 years old. These doors were never designed for the salt-laden humidity that moves inland from the Atlantic, and the weatherstripping degrades 15 to 20 years earlier than it would in a drier climate. We replace them with new impact-rated doors, proper flashing, and drainage that keeps water out of the wall cavity.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm doors make sense for Greenacres homes because they protect the entry door from UV and salt exposure while adding a second barrier against wind-driven rain. They also let you ventilate the front of the house on days when the humidity finally breaks. We install storm doors that fit the specific dimensions of CBS openings, which often means custom sizing rather than an off-the-shelf fit.
French & Double Doors
French doors are common on Greenacres homes with patio access or split-lot layouts. The challenge with older CBS construction is that the original opening may not be square, and the floor may have settled over five decades. We shore the opening, reset the jamb, and install French doors with impact-rated glazing and multi-point locking. Done right, a pair of impact French doors can transform both the light in the room and the wind-mitigation score.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We are an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others. For Greenacres homeowners, that means we can match impact-rated door systems to the specific design pressure of your opening rather than making a generic brand fit. We maintain a local stock of common parts, thresholds, and weatherstripping for these brands, which means faster turnaround when a Greenacres customer needs a hardware swap or a glass replacement. If you have an existing Therma-Tru door that is failing, we can usually address it without replacing the entire frame.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Jalousie and hollow-core doors failing wind-mitigation inspection. Original doors from Greenacres’s 1970s-1990s buildout cannot be retrofitted to any recognized impact rating. Inspections flag them immediately, which blocks insurance credits and forces a full replacement with impact-rated glazing.
- Salt-laden humidity corroding aluminum frames and weatherstripping. Greenacres sits 12-15 miles inland, but the coastal air still carries enough salt and moisture to degrade aluminum door frames and gaskets well before their expected lifespan.
- Original CBS openings not framed for modern impact jambs. The concrete block rough openings from the 1970s and 1980s weren’t built to accommodate today’s impact door jambs. Without re-squaring and proper anchoring, the door settles unevenly and leaks air within a couple of years.
- Settled floors and out-of-level thresholds. Many Greenacres homes have been through enough wet summers and dry winters that the slab has shifted slightly. A door installed on an unlevel threshold will drag, bind, and eventually warp.
Pricing for Door Installation in Greenacres, FL
A standard entry door replacement in Greenacres runs $1,200 to $3,500 installed, depending on whether you choose a basic fiberglass unit or an impact-rated system with laminated glass. A hurricane-proof front entry door runs $2,500 to $6,000, and a pair of impact French doors typically lands between $4,000 and $8,500. Storm doors run $700 to $1,800. What moves the price most in Greenacres is the condition of the rough opening: if the original CBS framing needs re-squaring, shoring, or new flashing, that’s additional labor and material. We give you a written line-item quote before work starts, and that number does not change unless you change the scope. Call (561) 660-9539 to schedule a free in-home measure.
What Door Installation Costs in Greenacres
To give you honest anchors for the Greenacres market: a single impact entry door typically lands between $2,000 and $5,000 installed; an impact single door with sidelights runs $3,500 to $7,500; large or custom openings with transoms can reach $8,000 to $12,000; and whole-home door packages, for example, replacing every exterior door on a 1970s CBS ranch, generally run $10,000 to $30,000. What moves the price in Greenacres specifically is the wind zone calculation for your opening, the floor height, the condition of the existing jamb, and whether the rough opening requires structural repair before the new unit goes in. Every quote starts with a free in-home measure and a written number, so you always know the full cost before you commit.
Building on Acreage Around Greenacres
Greenacres has a surprising amount of split-lot and irregular-lot building stock, especially as you move toward the edges of the city limits. If you’re building on acreage around Greenacres, the door installation conversation shifts in ways that a cookie-cutter tract quote won’t capture. County rather than city permitting often applies, which means different inspection timing and sometimes different documentation. Septic and well setbacks can limit where a slab gets poured and where door openings get placed, which affects the rough opening dimensions and the door swing. Long material hauls and equipment access matter too: if the delivery truck can’t reach the build site, we have to coordinate staging and material movement, and that changes the schedule and the labor.
Outbuildings, detached shops, and ADUs add another layer. County code still requires wind-rated door systems on any conditioned structure in this wind zone, but the design pressure calculations differ from a primary residence. We scope all of that before we quote: we check the property access, the setback lines, the grading and drainage around the slab, and the specific door openings on every structure. That way the written quote reflects the actual job, not a generic per-door price that falls apart when the crew arrives.
Florida Pays You Back
Greenacres homeowners have access to a stacking set of incentives that most people never fully claim. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-rated doors are eligible work. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a $6,000 door package. The federal 25C energy credit can cover 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. Then there’s the windstorm premium adjustment: after a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, many homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on average. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we won’t quote you a guarantee. We will tell you what’s claimable, what’s likely, and what requires documentation.
On a split-lot off Jog Road, our crew replaced a pair of original single-pane aluminum sliders with PGT impact-rated French doors after the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection flagged the old units. The job required shoring the CBS opening, resetting the jamb to accept a large-missile rated laminated glass interlayer, and re-flashing for drainage. While we were there, we also swapped a hollow-core entry door for a Therma-Tru impact unit, which let the homeowner close out their Citizens re-quote the following week.

FAQs - Door Installation in Greenacres
Yes for practical purposes. Greenacres is outside Miami-Dade and Broward’s HVHZ rules, so you do not need Miami-Dade NOA, but you are still inside Palm Beach County’s roughly 140 mph design wind-speed zone, and Florida Product Approval is required for any new door system. More importantly, your original hollow-core or jalousie doors will fail a wind-mitigation inspection, which blocks insurance credits and leaves your home exposed in a storm. Call (561) 660-9539 for a free measure and a straight answer on what your opening actually requires.
In most cases, yes, assuming the rest of your wind-mitigation credits are in place. Jalousie and hollow-core doors are automatic inspection failures, so replacing them removes the biggest blocker to a wind-mitigation credit. The windstorm portion of the premium often drops meaningfully once the inspection passes, but the final number is set by the carrier and the inspector’s report. We install doors that are documented for wind-mitigation purposes, and we will help you understand what to submit.
Figure 15 to 20 years for original aluminum-frame doors and hollow-core entry doors in Greenacres. The salt-laden humidity, UV exposure, and annual hurricane season degrade weatherstripping, hinges, and glazing seals faster here than in inland states. If your door is original to a 1970s-1990s home, it’s already well past its useful life.
Usually, yes. Most original Greenacres CBS openings can accept a modern impact door if we re-square the rough opening, reset the header, and add proper anchoring. Some openings are too far out of square from decades of settling and need minor structural shoring, but full wall rebuilds are rare. We will know within the first 20 minutes of the free measure, and the written quote will reflect whatever the opening actually needs.
The spread comes down to three things: the product, the opening prep, and the paperwork. A quote for a hollow-core door with no impact rating will always be cheaper than a quote for an impact-rated unit with Florida Product Approval documentation. A company that skips re-squaring the opening and re-flashing the jamb comes in lower, but you pay for it in air leaks and water intrusion later. We quote impact-rated systems installed to Palm Beach County wind-zone standards, with the rough opening work included in the number. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll show you exactly what is in the line items.
