AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Davie
A new entry door in Davie typically runs $1,400 to $7,500 installed, depending on whether we’re working with a standard pre-hung steel door or a hurricane-rated impact door with a Miami-Dade NOA. Most single-door replacements in Davie’s CBS ranch homes take one day once the unit arrives. If you’re staring at a sagging door that won’t latch or flinching every time a summer squall kicks up off the Everglades, call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll come measure it right.
We know Davie’s housing stock because we’ve been in it for over a decade. The single-story concrete block and stucco homes off Orange Drive, the ranches tucked back near Pine Island Road, the equestrian properties along Shotgun Road with barn doors that swing a little wide after thirty Florida summers. That’s the stuff we work on every week. Our Door Installation team covers the full 33314 zip code, and we bring the tools, the shims, the flashing, and the NOA documentation to every opening we touch.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 and put his name on it. That’s not a branding decision; it’s an accountability decision. When you call us about a door in Davie, you’re not getting a national chain’s ticket system or a subcontractor farm. You get a locally owned, owner-operated company with a published address and a license number you can check. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Davie homeowners call us because we answer. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center in another state. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And we back every installation with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard of accountability, no fine print about who’s responsible.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Davie specifically, that matters because PGT and CGI carry the Miami-Dade NOAs we need on water-adjacent and equestrian-zoned properties.
Our Door Installation Services in Davie
Entry Doors
A front door in Davie isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s the first thing the sunshine hits, the first surface a burglar checks, and the first air leak your AC dollar fights against. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors sized exactly to your opening, meaning we fix the jamb, the threshold, and the weatherstripping from day one, not with a call-back in three months.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Davie sits entirely inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every permitted exterior door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval NOA with a large-missile impact rating. We install PGT and CGI impact doors that meet that bar, and we handle the paperwork so your Davie inspection passes the first time.
French & Double Doors
We see a lot of French doors on Davie ranches, often framing a patio or pool view. The common failure isn’t the glass; it’s the astragal, the sill, and the frame weatherstripping after years of wind-driven rain. We install full-frame replacements, not slab swaps, so the entire opening drains and seals properly. Impact-rated French doors from CWS or PGT keep the glass unbroken and the opening square.
Replacement Doors
Most Davie requests we get are for replacement doors in homes built between 1968 and 1991. The old unit comes out, and we find what’s behind it: sometimes a clean rough opening, sometimes a rotten wooden buck and a settled sill. We price the door replacement, and we handle whatever the framing inspection turns up with a written change order before any drywall comes down.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm doors on Davie’s east-facing homes take a beating. You want ventilation on the cooler winter mornings without giving bugs and debris a free pass. We install Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass storm doors that hold their seals and keep the critters out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We work with the brands that hold up in South Florida’s wind and humidity: CGI for large-missile impact front doors, PGT for ranch-house replacements with a Miami-Dade NOA on file, and Therma-Tru for insulated fiberglass entry systems. Because we run volume through Davie and the surrounding Broward corridor, we stock hardware, thresholds, and common astragal replacements locally, which means faster turnaround when your old threshold is rotted and the door won’t close. No six-week wait for a standard sweep or hinge. We carry what Davie’s older homes actually need.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Non-compliant rough openings on 1968–1991 CBS ranches: the old door was framed for a 1960s or 1970s unit, too shallow or too warped for a modern pre-hung frame. We sister new pressure-treated framing and re-shim the jamb to square before the new door goes in.
- Missing sill pan flashing: original installs in Davie’s older CBS homes frequently skipped the Z-flashing at the sill, so decades of afternoon thunderstorms wicked water into the subfloor. We restore the flashing as part of the replacement, not as an upsell.
- Rotted wooden bucks behind stucco: the old door buck in a concrete block wall has been drinking humidity for 30 years. We remove the rot, treat the block, and set a new pressure-treated buck before any new door lands in that opening.
- Non-impact glazing flagged during door permits: Davie inspections don’t grandfather the adjacent windows. If the inspector flags the 1975 aluminum window next to your new door, we quote the entire elevation to HVHZ so the project doesn’t stall at final.
- Barn and stable doors on equestrian properties: large swing-out or slider doors on Davie’s horse properties need large-missile-rated hinge hardware and wind-driven rain seals that generic door suppliers don’t stock. We source and install these under the same permit umbrella.
This is the reality of Door Installation in Davie, and it’s not something a big-box installer who services all of South Florida is prepared for.
Pricing for Door Installation in Davie, FL
A standard single entry door replacement in Davie runs $1,400 to $3,200. A hurricane-rated impact entry door from CGI or PGT with a Miami-Dade NOA typically lands between $3,500 and $7,500. French door replacements run $2,800 to $6,500 per opening, depending on whether you go impact-rated or standard insulated glass. Barn-style and oversized equestrian doors start around $3,000 and climb with the opening width, hardware load, and wind zone. If your home is on the lake side of Davie or you have a windward-facing gable, expect the design pressure requirements to push you toward the upper end of those ranges.
What Door Installation Costs in Davie
Here are the anchors we quote from daily, based on the opening, the product, and the inspection path your permit triggers:
- Impact-rated front entry door (PGT or CGI): $3,500–$7,500 installed, including NOA documentation and sill flashing
- Standard pre-hung steel or fiberglass entry door: $1,400–$3,200 installed
- French or double door replacement, standard insulated glass: $2,800–$5,000 installed
- Large or custom opening, or oversized barn door on an equestrian property: $3,000–$9,000, depending on width, swing-out hardware, and design pressure
- Whole-home door packages (front, back, garage entry, patio): $8,000–$20,000+, with volume pricing applied per opening count
What moves the price in Davie is rarely the door itself. It’s the framing behind it. A 1974 CBS ranch off Orange Drive with a settled rough opening, a rotted buck, and missing sill pan costs more to open than a 2005 CBS home with a true opening. That’s honest math, and it’s why we do a free in-home measure and write a line-item quote before you commit to anything. No change orders mailed after we start.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money on the table for Davie homeowners who upgrade to impact doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated exterior doors that meet HVHZ standards. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax outright. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which generally runs $75 to $150, you may also see windstorm premium credits that average around 25 percent on the wind portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set final numbers, so we never quote a guaranteed refund. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll point you to the current application path.
What We Find When We Open a Davie Door
Here’s the part nobody tells you before a door replacement in Davie. You pull a permit, the inspector walks the property, and suddenly the scope isn’t just a door. The adjacent 1975 aluminum window doesn’t meet HVHZ impact standards, the lintel above the 1969 opening isn’t sized for a modern pre-hung unit, and the rough opening has settled out of square. Once that wall is open, you cannot grandfather the opening. The new door must carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval NOA with a large-missile rating, and the inspector will verify it.
On a 1974 single-story CBS ranch off Orange Drive, our crew removed an original single-pane aluminum front door to find the rough opening had settled ⅝ inch out of square, and the old wooden buck had rotted at the sill from decades of missing Z-flashing. We sistered a new pressure-treated buck, corrected the jamb with shims, and installed a PGT impact-rated insulated glass entry door with a Miami-Dade NOA, then wrote the sill-flashing repair as a transparent change order before any drywall came down. That’s how we work: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Untrained installers sometimes cut the old cast-in-place threshold anchors to force a stock door into a 1960s CBS opening. That destroys the structural lintel and voids the permit. The fix later costs triple what a proper framing correction would have on day one. We won’t cut corners, because Ed’s name is on the job.
Davie’s Equestrian Zoning and What It Means for Your Doors
Davie is Broward County’s only true equestrian municipality. The Western Community. And that changes what a door contractor actually does here. A single work order might include an impact-rated front door on a 1978 ranch house and a large sliding barn door on an adjacent stable, both under the same permit and both held to the same HVHZ standard. The ranch house needs a Miami-Dade NOA on the front door. The barn needs large-missile-rated hinge hardware and wind-driven rain seals on the gable end, because a failing exterior door on a windward barn wall doesn’t just leak, it rots the shear wall from the inside.
Contractors in Plantation or Miramar almost never see this combination. We see it multiple times a month. If you own a Davie horse property, we’re one of the few door crews in Broward that carries the right hardware and the right paperwork for both sides of the permit.

FAQs — Door Installation in Davie
Expect undersized framing, missing sill pan flashing, and a rough opening that may have settled out of square over 50 years. Once the permit is pulled and the wall opens, Davie inspectors do not grandfather the opening; the new door must carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval NOA. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any framing correction in writing before work starts.
Yes. Barn and stable doors on Davie’s equestrian properties still face the same HVHZ wind pressure requirements as a house, so we use large-missile-rated hinges, pressure-treated framing, and wind-driven rain sealing on every agricultural door. Standard farm-supply hardware typically fails inspection, so we source the compliant hardware from the start and document it against the permit.
Because Davie sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Broward County applies the same impact-resistance standard to every permitted exterior door replacement. It’s not about being on the coast; it’s about the wind load your home faces in a named storm, and the inspector will check the NOA number before signing off.
We open the wall with you informed, not surprised. If we find a rotted buck or water damage, we write a transparent change order with a line-item price, you approve it in writing, and then we proceed. No drywall comes down, no sledgehammer hits the old frame, until the price is on paper and signed.
You may see a modest premium reduction on the windstorm portion after a wind-mitigation inspection, but the bigger discounts come when the entire elevation is compliant. A single door helps. Fixing the adjacent non-impact window at the same time compounds the credit. We quote the whole elevation and let you decide what to pull permits on.
