AfterTrusted Door Installation for Delray Beach Homeowners
Door Installation in Delray Beach typically costs between $600 and $4,500 depending on whether you’re replacing a standard entry door or installing a custom arched unit with impact glass. Most standard door replacements are completed in a single day by our own uniformed crews, not subcontractors. TruePane Windows & Doors has been setting doors square in Delray Beach homes since 2008, and our founder Dale Kessler’s rule still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What that means for you is simple. We measure twice, order once, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. If you’re tired of a door that binds in July or lets afternoon heat pour through the jamb, call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate. A live person answers, day or night.
Key Takeaways:
- Standard door replacement in Delray Beach usually takes one day on-site
- Every install is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard
- Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave
- Free written estimates with no surprise line items on the bill
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry & Swing Doors
Your front door is the first thing you touch when you come home and the first thing a guest notices. A properly set entry door closes with a solid thunk, not a rattle, and the weatherstripping seals evenly around all four sides. We pull the old door, inspect the rough opening for rot or settlement, and set the new slab with shims at the hinges and strike plate so the reveal is even and the latch engages without lifting the handle. In Door Installation - Boynton Beach and Delray Beach, where afternoon sun beats on west-facing entries, we pay particular attention to door material selection so you’re not replacing a warped slab in five years.
Double & French Doors
Double doors fail at the meeting stile. That’s where the two active panels come together, and if the hinges are not set in perfect plane, the doors will bind there or leave a gap that lets conditioned air escape. We install French and double doors with adjustable hinges where the manufacturer allows, and we set both panels before we trim the astragal. Whether you’re putting French doors on a patio facing the Intracoastal or a double entry at the front of a Golf-front property, the process is the same: both panels plumb, both panels level, and a meeting point that closes clean every time.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold doors turn a wall into an opening, which means the track and the floor line have to be in near-perfect agreement. If the floor settles even a quarter inch over a twelve-foot span, the panels will drag or gap at the top. We check the floor with a laser before we set the track, and we adjust the carriers so all panels fold and stack without scraping. These doors are popular in Delray Beach homes that open onto a pool deck, and they’re heavier than they look. Proper anchoring and top-hung hardware selection matter.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door hangs on a hinge mechanism at the top and bottom instead of side hinges, which lets you run a much wider slab than a conventional hinged door would allow. The catch is that a pivot door demands a floor and header that can carry the load. We verify the structural blocking before the door is ordered, then dial in the pivot points so the slab swings with one hand and stays put wherever you stop it. In custom Delray Beach builds and renovations, our Door Installation in Boca Raton and nearby areas also feature pivot doors as the single most visible piece of hardware in the house. We treat them that way.
Storm Doors
A storm door gives you cross-ventilation on the days when Deerfield Beach Door Installation and Delray Beach homes actually cool down, and it protects your primary door from the summer sun. The key to a storm door that lasts is a square install with no tension on the frame corners. We set storm doors with the reveal consistent around the brickmold, and we test the closer so it pulls the door tight without slamming. If you’re adding a storm door over an older entry door, we’ll check the existing frame first because a storm door on a rotted jamb is a wasted trip.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched doors in Delray Beach’s older neighborhoods, particularly the historic districts and the streets off A1A, are often one-off pieces. That means every measurement has to be taken from the actual opening, not from a catalog spec. We template curved openings, order the radius to match, and set the door so the arch gap is even all the way around. For fully custom work, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before a single dollar changes hands.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. We do not push one brand. What we do is lay out your options on paper, side by side, with the actual warranty durations written next to each line item. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is the only way we’ve done business since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008.
On the custom end, we’ve installed CWS and ECO Window Systems units in homes along the barrier island, and we work with ViewLux for homeowners who want a specific profile or finish. Each brand has its own anchoring requirements, flashing details, and thermal ratings, and our crews are trained to the manufacturer’s installation spec, not a generic one-size-fits-all method. If your door is an older Andersen or PGT unit that has shifted out of true, we can often reset it without a full replacement. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll tell you straight what the opening needs.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Door binds or sticks in one season. Wood and composite slabs move with humidity, but a door that binds in July usually means the original install was off-plane. In Delray Beach’s wet summers, a binding door will only get worse as the frame continues to shift.
- Daylight visible through the weatherstripping. If you can see light around the door when it’s closed, you’re losing conditioned air every hour the AC runs. A new door with proper sealing in a Delray Beach home can drop the summer electric bill enough that the install partially pays for itself.
- Door slab is cracked, rotted, or delaminating. South Florida’s salt air is hard on door skins, especially within a mile of the ocean. Once the outer skin splits, water gets behind it and the damage accelerates. Patch jobs buy months, not years.
- Lock set is loose or the strike plate is wallowed out. A door that’s been forced or that has sagged will tear the screws out of the strike plate over time. You can put longer screws in, but if the slab is out of square, the problem returns. This is a security issue as much as a mechanical one.
- You’re planning to sell or renovate. Real estate agents in Delray Beach will tell you that a front door is one of the highest-return curb appeal upgrades a homeowner can make. If the door is tired, it colors the whole showing. A square, solid entry door reads as a well-kept house.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free on-site assessment. We arrive on schedule, in uniform, and measure the opening with a laser and a level. We check the rough opening for rot, settlement, and out-of-square conditions. You’ll see the numbers, not just hear a price. Most assessments take under 45 minutes.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated. No vague “premium door” language. You’ll see the door, the hardware, the flashing, the labor, and the disposal, each as its own number.
- 3
Order and inspect. When the door arrives, we inspect it before the install date. We’ve rejected slabs at the warehouse for dents, warped stiles, and finish flaws that most homeowners would never see until the sun hit the door at the right angle.
- 4
Install day. The old door comes out, the rough opening gets corrected if needed, and the new door is set level, plumb, and square. We flash the sill and jambs properly for South Florida’s wind-driven rain, and we test the door through at least ten open-close cycles before we call it done.
- 5
Warranty registration and walkthrough. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and the durations are stated on your paperwork. We walk the door with you, show you the reveal lines, and answer any questions. If something is not right, we fix it under the Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Delray Beach?
A standard single entry door replacement in Delray Beach typically runs $600 to $2,800 installed, depending on material, glass package, and hardware. A pair of French doors runs $1,800 to $5,000. A custom arched or pivot door can run $4,000 to $12,000 or more once you factor in templating, structural blocking, and finish work. These are real-world ranges for this market, not national averages that ignore Florida’s impact-rating requirements and labor costs.
What moves the price: door material (fiberglass is the middle ground between steel and solid wood), glass type (impact-rated glass adds cost but may cut your windstorm insurance premium), hardware finish, and the condition of the rough opening. If the opening is rotted or out of square, that work is separate and we’ll show it as a separate line item.
How to avoid overpaying: get every quote in writing with the door model, hardware included, warranty duration, and disposal called out. If a price seems too good, ask about the flashing details and the warranty registration. We include both in our price, in writing. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
