AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach usually means working through two checkpoints before a single screw turns: your community’s architectural review committee, then Palm Beach County’s permit office. We know both processes cold, which means your new entry door, French door, or storm-rated replacement gets installed without a stop-work order halfway through. Whether you’re in a 1980s golf-course home near the Intracoastal or a custom build in PGA National, call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your property needs, what it costs, and how long the approval chain will take.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and that name is on every door we hang in Palm Beach. Locally owned and owner-operated, we are not a call center farming your job to whichever subcontractor answers first. The crew that shows up is background-checked, wears a Winslow uniform, and reports to Ed. That accountability matters when you are spending $2,500 to $5,000 on an impact-rated front entry door and you want to know who to call if something is off. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including during June to November storm watches.
Palm Beach homeowners in the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes call us because we already know what their HOA will approve. We keep submittal records from communities like PGA National on file: frame color codes that pass architectural review, mullion profiles the committees accept, and glass tint ranges that do not bounce back for revision. A contractor who has never worked in Palm Beach has to learn all of that on your timeline. We learned it years ago.
Our technicians arrive in uniform with years of experience on Palm Beach’s specific housing stock: 1980s-to-2000s master-planned golf and country club homes built with original aluminum single-pane sliders that are neither impact-rated nor energy-compliant under current Florida Building Code. Replacing those openings with modern, code-correct doors is the bulk of what we do here. We also hold the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right. That is a lasting standard, and it applies to every door we install in Palm Beach.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach
Door Installation from Winslow covers the full range of what Palm Beach homes actually need. Each service below is handled by our own crews, never subcontracted out, and every job carries the same published-address accountability and license-number transparency.
Entry Doors
A new entry door in Palm Beach is as much about curb appeal as security. In communities like PGA National, the architectural committee will have opinions on frame color, glass, and hardware finish, so we spec doors that pass review on the first submittal. Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors are common choices here because they hold paint well in salt-laden air and offer impact-rated configurations for openings that face the Intracoastal or Atlantic exposure.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
If your Palm Beach home sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, which includes the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes, Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on glazed openings. We install impact-rated front and entry doors with Miami-Dade NOA numbers matched to the exact frame-and-glass combination, so Palm Beach County inspectors sign off at the in-progress inspection without a correction notice. This is not an optional upgrade here; it is the law, and it is also what insurers look for when they set your windstorm premium.
French & Double Doors
French doors are one of the most requested replacements in Palm Beach, especially when homeowners convert an old single-pane slider to a hinged impact-rated unit. Our crew recently did exactly that on a 1990s PGA National home: the original aluminum slider had corroded past repair from years of salt air, and the homeowner wanted a PGT impact-rated French door instead. Before pulling the county permit, we filed the product-spec submittal to the community’s architectural committee, including the exact Sherwin-Williams frame color code, the 7/8″ mullion profile, and 35% SHGC Low-E glass, then held the install until written approval arrived. Nothing sat half-finished waiting on a committee. That is how it should work.
Replacement Doors
Most door replacements in Palm Beach involve swapping out original aluminum units from the 1980s and 1990s. These doors were built before impact codes, before Low-E glass was standard, and before anyone thought about how salt air eats aluminum hardware. We replace them with marine-grade or PVC-based systems that resist pitting and seized hinges near the Intracoastal Waterway. The process starts with a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote, so you know the exact number before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
Winslow is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, including PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. We regularly specify CGI and PGT impact-rated door systems for Palm Beach homes because their Miami-Dade NOA documentation is thorough and their designs hold up under coastal exposure. When a warranty claim or parts need arises, we go through our authorized channels, not a third-party broker. For Palm Beach homeowners, that means faster resolution and a single accountable party: Ed Winslow’s team.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Homes near the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic get persistent salt-laden air that pits aluminum frames and seizes hinges within a few years. Non-marine-grade aluminum doors fail fast here, which is why we push marine-grade finishes or PVC-based systems for exterior openings.
- Original single-pane sliders that are not impact-rated. The dominant 1980s-to-2000s housing stock in the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes came with aluminum single-pane sliders. Those units do not meet current FBC wind-load or impact requirements, and they are an insurance-policy liability during hurricane season.
- HOA architectural reviews stalling permits. In master-planned communities like PGA National, contractors who pull the county permit before getting written product-spec approval from the HOA end up with a stop-work order, a re-submittal, and weeks of dead time. We file the HOA submittal first, every time.
- Impact-rated doors without the matching Miami-Dade NOA. A door might say “impact rated” on the brochure, but Palm Beach County inspectors reject installations that lack a Miami-Dade NOA for the exact frame-and-glass combination being installed. We verify the NOA before the door is ordered, not at the inspection.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated windows in the Palm Beach market typically run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800 depending on size and frame material. Large or custom openings, including French doors and oversized entry systems, land between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening when engineered for Palm Beach’s wind zone. Whole-home packages, including door and window replacement across multiple openings, start around $8,000 and climb past $25,000 for large custom homes with extensive glazing.
What moves the price in Palm Beach specifically: the number of openings being replaced, floor height and exposure (second-floor openings above pooled water require higher design pressures), frame material (PVC versus marine-grade aluminum versus impact-rated wood-clad), and whether the home sits in an area that triggers the highest wind-load calculations. HOA architectural review does not add to the door cost, but it adds calendar time, typically two to four weeks in communities like PGA National when the submittal is done correctly the first time.
Every quote we give is a written line-item price, not a verbal ballpark. We measure, spec, and price the door based on Palm Beach’s actual wind zone and your community’s approval requirements. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free in-home measure and written quote.
Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Here is a clearer breakdown for Palm Beach specifically. A standard replacement entry door using a Therma-Tru fiberglass unit runs $2,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on size and whether impact glazing is required. An impact-rated hurricane front entry door runs $4,500 to $7,500 for a typical single opening, higher for double doors or transom configurations. French door replacements run $3,500 to $6,000 per opening when converting from a slider, adding structural work and new framing. Storm and exterior doors run $900 to $2,200 per door. These are installed prices including labor, hardware, and Palm Beach County permit coordination. Architectural review submittals are included at no extra charge. Your exact price is a free in-home measure away: call (844) 901-4551.
Florida Pays You Back
Palm Beach homeowners have a stack of incentives available for this work. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors and windows. 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 energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150 in this market), your windstorm premium credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. These are state and federal programs, so the final numbers come from the program administrators and your carrier, not from us. That said, we keep current on all of them and will point you to the right applications. For Palm Beach homeowners, the cost conversation is not just about the invoice; it is about the offset. One comparison we often walk through with Palm Beach customers: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect the opening when you remember to hang them. Impact doors are always on, holding the envelope together even when you are not home. In Palm Beach’s wind zone, permanent protection is usually the smarter long-term buy.
How Long Does Approval Take in Palm Beach?
In the 33410 and 33418 ZIP codes, the sequence works like this, and it is the thing most contractors get wrong. First, we file a product-spec submittal with the HOA architectural review committee if you live in a master-planned community. That packet includes the exact door type, frame color code, glass tint and SHGC value, mullion profile, and hardware finish. Communities like PGA National pre-approve every one of these details before the county permit gets submitted. Written HOA approval typically takes two to four weeks. Then we pull the Palm Beach County permit, referencing the approved specs. That sequencing, HOA first, county second, is what prevents the stop-work orders and re-submittals that trip up out-of-town crews. We file both; you sign once, and the installation is scheduled only after both gates clear. That way your door does not sit half-finished in an open rough opening waiting on a committee.
Door installations themselves are usually completed in a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabricated doors run four to six weeks from approval to delivery. We coordinate the calendar so the day the door lands in our warehouse is the day your install is scheduled, not a week later. That planning is part of why Palm Beach homeowners keep calling us back for their next opening.

FAQs — Door Installation in Palm Beach
PGA National’s architectural review committee pre-approves exact door frame color codes, mullion profiles, and glass tint values before Palm Beach County will accept the permit application. The county verifies code compliance; the HOA verifies aesthetic compliance. If the HOA approval comes after the county permit, the county’s in-progress inspection will catch the mismatch and issue a stop-work order until the re-submittal clears, which adds weeks. We file the HOA submittal first, every time. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will confirm what your specific community requires.
Yes. Both ZIP codes sit inside Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, and Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing or approved shutter protection on all glazed exterior openings when you are pulling a permit for replacement. You cannot legally install a non-impact single-pane door on a permitted replacement in Palm Beach. We handle the Miami-Dade NOA documentation for the exact frame-and-glass combination so the county inspection passes cleanly. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure.
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic accelerates oxidation on aluminum frames and corrodes door hardware, especially hinges and lock mechanisms. A non-marine-grade aluminum door in these neighborhoods can show pitting within two years. We specify marine-grade finishes or PVC-based systems for exterior doors near the water, and we match hardware to coastal exposure. Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss which material is right for your home’s distance from the water.
Replacing a non-impact single-pane slider with an impact-rated French door can qualify you for a windstorm premium credit once a wind-mitigation inspection verifies the new opening. Credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium in Palm Beach, but the final number comes from your carrier. The inspection runs $75 to $150. We install doors with the Miami-Dade NOA documentation your inspector will ask for. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free quote, and ask us about the inspection process while we are there.
Design pressure is the wind-load rating a door is engineered to withstand, measured in pounds per square foot with both positive and negative values. Palm Beach’s wind zone requires higher design pressures than inland Florida, especially on second-floor openings and on homes with direct Atlantic or Intracoastal exposure. County inspectors verify that the installed door’s rating matches the opening’s required design pressure. We calculate that requirement before we order the door, so there are no surprises at the inspection. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home assessment of your openings.
