AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach Gardens
Door installation in Palm Beach Gardens almost always means one thing: impact-rated, Florida Product Approved units that satisfy Palm Beach County’s 160-mph wind-load code. If your home sits in PGA National, BallenIsles, Mirasol, or any of the older CBS communities built before 2001, that original builder-grade door was installed before today’s code existed. Most replacement doors here fail permit review unless they carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number specific to the opening. Winslow Windows & Doors has handled hundreds of these retrofits across Palm Beach Gardens, and we know the HOA submittal process, the permit triggers, and the design standards for every major community. Call (561) 660-9539 and a live person answers, any hour.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been installing doors in Palm Beach Gardens long enough to know the difference between a French door that just looks dated and one that’s quietly failing from salt-laden Intracoastal air. That matters here. A door slab can look fine while the jamb, sill pan, and hidden weatherstripping have corroded enough to fail a wind mitigation inspection. Our Door Installation team checks the whole assembly, not just the slab, before recommending anything.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and his name is on the door, literally and figuratively. Every job in Palm Beach Gardens gets a background-checked, uniformed crew, a written line-item quote before work starts, and the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Forever. No shell companies, no ticket numbers, no call center. You call, Ed’s team answers. And we don’t charge a trip fee inside the county.
We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor, a permanent $40 credit on any repair over $200, and a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t promotions. They’re how we’ve done business in Palm Beach Gardens for over a decade.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Entry Doors
Entry door replacement in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed, depending on the slab material, hardware package, and whether the existing frame needs a full tear-out. Most homes here have Mediterranean or Tuscan-style single doors with decorative glass and sidelights, which means frame color and glass pattern fall under HOA architectural review. We handle the submittal for you, and we’ll never order a door until the review board signs off.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
In Palm Beach Gardens, a hurricane-proof entry door isn’t optional. If your home was built before 2001, Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated or otherwise Florida Product Approved assemblies any time a door is replaced. That usually means a fiberglass or steel impact door with laminated glass and NOA-rated hardware. Installed costs for a standard single impact entry door here run $2,200 to $6,000, with custom heights and arched tops pushing toward $8,000 in older PGA National properties.
French & Double Doors
French doors in Palm Beach Gardens open onto screened lanais and pool decks, which puts them directly in the salt air path. We regularly replace French units in BallenIsles and Mirasol where the IGU seals have failed and the aluminum frames show pitting. An impact-rated French door replacement, installed with a new sill pan and jamb, typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on width and swing configuration. We stock and install Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass fiberglass units that match the Tuscan styling common here.
Replacement Doors
Replacement doors in this market almost always pair with Palm Beach Gardens HOA and code requirements. We often see online-ordered doors arrive without a Florida Product Approval, and the building department rejects the permit on day one. Don’t do that to yourself. We pull permits, coordinate the HOA review, and install the compliant unit in as fast as a single day once your door arrives from the manufacturer. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We’re authorized installers for Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, ECO Window Systems, along with PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That means warranty coverage stays intact, and we can order factory-matched parts rather than field-adapting something close. Palm Beach Gardens homeowners with HOA color-matching requirements benefit most from this; we can spec the exact frame finish and grid pattern before any order goes in.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- Non-compliant online purchases: A homeowner orders a door without Florida Product Approval, and the permit gets rejected. The door can’t legally be installed, the return shipping hurts, and the HOA may also deny the style. We see this at least once a month in PGA National and BallenIsles.
- HOA design-review denials: The architectural board rejects a door because the frame color or exterior grid pattern doesn’t match community standards. This often happens after a contractor already pulled the permit, forcing a reorder and weeks of delay.
- Hidden jamb and sill corrosion: Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal Waterway corrodes the hidden frame components first. The new impact door gets installed into a rotten jamb, and the wind mitigation inspection fails because the assembly no longer meets design pressure.
- Failed insulated glass units: Doors facing east into the Atlantic breeze develop failed seals, fog between panes, and humidity in the foyer. By the time you notice the haze, the frame has likely been compromised for years.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Here’s what we tell homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens when they ask about cost. A standard single entry door replacement runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed. Impact-rated entry doors run $2,200 to $6,000. French and double doors run $3,500 to $9,000. Large custom openings and arched tops in older Mediterranean homes can reach $8,000 to $12,000. What moves the price: the opening size, whether the jamb and sill need replacement, the hardware package, and the specific design-pressure rating your opening requires. We give written, line-item quotes with no change orders, and estimates are always free. Call (561) 660-9539 to schedule a measure.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach Gardens
Whole-home door packages in Palm Beach Gardens typically land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on the number of openings and whether you’re doing entry doors only or adding French doors, patio sliders, and garage service doors. A single impact single-hung window runs $900 to $1,800, and if you’re pairing doors with windows, impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per unit installed. Large or custom openings on second-story lanais or waterfront elevations push higher. The wind zone here is the same across the city, but floor height and exposure to the Intracoastal can raise the design pressure requirement, and that changes the hardware spec. We’ll measure every opening, pull the right Florida Product Approval numbers, and hand you a written quote before any deposit changes hands.
Florida Pays You Back
Palm Beach Gardens homeowners can stack a few programs to offset door replacement costs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact doors. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying efficient units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many carriers reduce the windstorm portion of your premium by roughly 25%. We can’t promise what your insurer or the state will approve, but we’ll point you to the right inspections and paperwork.
HOA Rules and the Door Replacement Process in Palm Beach Gardens
Here’s the thing no national retailer tells you about door replacement in Palm Beach Gardens. In the gated golf communities like PGA National and BallenIsles, every window and door replacement requires HOA architectural review approval before you can even pull a permit. Frame color, external grid pattern, glass tint, finish sheen. Each community has its own design book, and contractors who don’t know them get jobs rejected after permits are already in process.
We replaced a badly corroded aluminum French door in a BallenIsles courtyard home not long ago. The original weatherstripping had degraded from salt-laden Intracoastal air, and the failed insulated glass unit let humidity into the foyer. HOA architectural review required a dark bronze frame and no exterior grids. We spec’d a Therma-Tru impact-rated fiberglass unit, handled the HOA submittal, pulled the permit, and installed it with Miami-Dade NOA hardware. The wind mitigation inspection passed on the first visit. That’s the process done right.
Most homes in PGA National, BallenIsles, and Mirasol were built between the late 1970s and early 2000s with aluminum single-pane doors that predate Palm Beach County’s current 160-mph wind-load requirements. That means a door replacement here isn’t a cosmetic decision. You can’t legally pull a permit for a non-impact door in most of Palm Beach Gardens. This is a code-compliance retrofit, and treating it as a simple swap gets homeowners stuck in permit limbo.
For newer master-planned communities in Palm Beach Gardens, builder-grade entry doors are often the first thing owners replace. The slab is a hollow steel or basic fiberglass unit, functional but thin, with cheap hardware. Upgrading to a solid-core fiberglass door with a decorative glass insert and quality hardware is one of the best first upgrades here, running $2,000 to $4,500 installed. Just check your builder warranty first; some builders prohibit structural modifications in the first year. We’ll walk you through that before any work happens.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach Gardens
Because Palm Beach County building code requires impact-rated or otherwise Florida Product Approved door assemblies for replacement work, and most homes in Palm Beach Gardens sit squarely inside that wind zone. Any door without the right NOA or FL number will be rejected at permit review. We only order compliant units, so your permit clears the first time. Call (561) 660-9539 to discuss your opening.
In BallenIsles, HOA architectural review typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the board’s meeting schedule and whether your submittal package is complete. We prepare and submit the full package, including frame color, grid pattern, glass tint, and the Florida Product Approval documentation, so it doesn’t get bounced for missing paperwork. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll start the package the same week.
Yes, especially if your current French doors have failed seals or single-pane glass. Impact-rated units use laminated glass and low-E coatings that cut solar heat gain and stop humid outdoor air from leaking into your conditioned space. In Palm Beach Gardens, where summer cooling runs nine months of the year, that shows up on your FPL bill within the first full season. We can show you the spec sheet for every unit we install.
It can, but only after a wind mitigation inspection documents the door’s design pressure rating and compliance. In Palm Beach Gardens, those inspections run $75 to $150 and many carriers reduce the windstorm portion of your premium afterward. We install doors with the NOA documentation in hand so the inspection goes smoothly. Call (561) 660-9539 for details.
Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, and ECO Window Systems all offer frame color and glass options that match the Mediterranean and Tuscan styling common in Palm Beach Gardens HOAs. We can spec dark bronze, true white, and custom finishes, with or without exterior grids, and match your community’s design book exactly. Bring us your HOA’s architectural guidelines and we’ll build the package around them.
Your Next Step: A Free Measure and a Written Quote
If your entry door, French doors, or side doors are 25 to 40 years old and original to a Palm Beach Gardens home, they’re almost certainly not compliant with current code. That’s not a judgment on how they look. It’s a permitting requirement, and it’s the reason most door replacements here are full assembly retrofits rather than slab swaps. We’ll measure every opening, spec compliant units, handle the HOA submittal, pull the permit, and install the door right. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
