AfterTrusted Door Installation for West Palm Beach Homeowners
Door installation in West Palm Beach is not a simple swap-and-go job. Our heat, humidity, and six-month hurricane season punish cheap frames and poorly hung slabs within a year or two. A door here has to do three jobs at once: seal against wind-driven rain, hold up to impact and intrusion, and look sharp doing it. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 to do exactly that kind of work, and we’ve been installing entry, hurricane, French, and storm doors across West Palm Beach ever since. Every job carries one line on the contract: our Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. Call (561) 660-9539 for a free estimate.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we hang in West Palm Beach starts with a conversation about what that opening actually needs to survive. A north-facing entry on Flagler Drive gets different wind and salt exposure than a side door tucked into a Flamingo Park bungalow. We measure, we check the rough opening, we look at the existing flashing, and then we recommend a door that fits the opening, the house, and the budget. Here’s how we handle each type.
Entry Doors
An entry door is the first thing a guest touches and the first thing a buyer notices. In West Palm Beach, it’s also the first line of defense against afternoon thunderstorms and whatever the next named storm decides to bring. We install entry doors from Therma-Tru more than any other brand because the fiberglass holds paint, resists swelling, and comes rated for coastal wind loads. The installation includes new weatherstripping, a full threshold seal, and hardware adjustment so the door closes with one finger and locks without a fight.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
A hurricane-rated door is more than a thick slab. It’s an engineered assembly: impact-rated door, reinforced frame, multi-point locking hardware, and anchor points rated for the wind zone your street sits in. Winslow Windows & Doors installs hurricane-proof front and entry doors from PGT and CGI that meet Florida Building Code for high-velocity hurricane zones. We pull the permit on every single one. When the inspector signs off, you’ll have paperwork proving the door will do what the manufacturer says it will do.
French & Double Doors
French doors are beautiful and they are also, historically, where water finds a way in. West Palm Beach humidity makes wood double doors swell, stick, and eventually rot at the bottom rail. We install French and double doors with composite frames and impact-rated glass so you keep the light and lose the leakage. We’re particular about the center astragal and the threshold cap because that’s where leaks start, and we test both before we clean up.
Replacement Doors
A replacement door makes sense when the slab is shot but the frame is still square and solid. You save money, keep your interior trim intact, and avoid ripping into stucco or drywall. We’ll tell you honestly when a replacement door will do the job and when a full tear-out is the better use of your dollar. Either way, you get the same upfront line-item quote before we order anything, so there’s no mystery on the invoice.
Storm & Exterior Doors
A storm door in West Palm Beach buys you an extra barrier against flying debris and a shaded spot to talk to the neighbor without letting the A/C out. We install storm and exterior doors that fit the existing opening without looking like an afterthought. Hardware, closer, weather seal, and screen: we set it all, test it, and adjust it until the door closes true.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, including CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass. That authorization is not a sticker. It means those manufacturers have vetted our installation crews, our methods, and our warranty process, and they’ve decided we can represent their product line in Palm Beach County. When you buy a CWS or ES Windows door from us, the factory warranty is intact because the installation meets their spec.
We work on doors from every major manufacturer, whether or not we sell the brand. If your home came with a Mr-Glass door or an ECO Window Systems unit, we can service it, adjust it, and replace it when the time comes. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do, so we don’t cut corners on brands we didn’t sell just to speed a job along. Call us with the make and model, and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Daylight around the door when it’s closed. If you can see light through the gaps around your door, you’re losing conditioned air every hour the AC runs. It also means the weatherstripping has failed or the slab has warped. Either way, the fix is usually a new door, not a tube of caulk.
- The door sticks at the top or drags on the floor. Humidity in West Palm Beach swells wood and shifts framing. A slab that sticks today will refuse to close the night a storm arrives. Swollen, warped doors don’t unbend. Replacement is the honest fix.
- You have to lift or shove the door to get it to latch. When a deadbolt no longer lines up with the strike plate, the door has moved and the frame has lost its square. A forced latch gives a false sense of security. The door needs to be re-hung or replaced, and before the next storm, not after.
- Soft spots at the bottom corners or visible rot in the frame. Doorways are where rainwater collects. Once rot starts in the jamb or the threshold, it spreads behind the stucco where you can’t see it. We find it with a moisture meter before we tear anything out, so you know the full scope before we start.
- You upgraded your windows but not your doors. Impact windows with a standard door next to them creates a hole in the shell of the house. Wind force travels through that weak point. If you’re making the investment, match the opening.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a real person. When you call (561) 660-9539, someone answers. No call center, no voicemail loop, no ticket number. We ask about the door, the house, and when you want us to come look. Then we set a time and show up.
- 2
Site visit and measurements. One of our background-checked, uniformed technicians comes to your home. We measure the rough opening in three places, check the floor for level, inspect the framing and flashing, and photograph the site. This is how we quote accurately and avoid surprises.
- 3
Written line-item estimate. You get a proposal with the door, the hardware, the labor, the permit fee, and the haul-away cost broken out. No allowances, no “to be determined,” no change orders buried in fine print. Ed reviews every proposal personally.
- 4
Permit, install, and inspection. We pull the permit where the county requires it, install to manufacturer spec, and schedule the inspection. This is the part where the difference between a licensed installer and a guy with a truck actually shows up. We get it passed.
- 5
Walkthrough and the Done Right Promise. Before we leave, we walk the door with you, test the lock, check the seal, and answer your questions. Then we put the promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for 36500 days. You’ll have Ed’s word and his signature.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in West Palm Beach?
A standard entry door replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs $2,200 to $4,600 installed, depending on the material and hardware. Hurricane-rated impact entry doors start around $3,800 and can reach $9,000 or more for custom sizes or premium finishes. French and double door installations generally fall between $4,500 and $11,000, with impact glass on the high end. A basic storm or exterior door install lands around $800 to $1,800, while a full replacement with a reframed rough opening adds labor and runs from $2,500 to $5,000.
What moves the price: the size of the opening, the brand and glass package, whether the frame needs reframing, and whether you need a permit. What shouldn’t move the price? The number on the final invoice. We quote line items, not a single vague number, and we honor it. You’ll never pay for a change order we didn’t show you in writing first. And don’t forget the standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge in the home county. The free estimate we give you will include every cost, so call (561) 660-9539 and compare.
