AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Wellington
Getting a new door installed in Wellington usually runs between $2,800 and $6,500 for a standard impact-rated entry unit, with custom French doors and oversized openings landing closer to $4,500–$9,000. That’s the honest range we quote homeowners across Olympia, Versailles, Palm Beach Polo, and Binks Forest every week. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the whole job: HOA paperwork first, then the permit, then the install.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been pulled into plenty of Wellington jobs that started with another contractor getting a stop-work order. The reason is almost always the same: someone skipped the HOA architectural review and pulled the county permit anyway. Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011 because he was tired of watching that happen to good homeowners. We know Wellington’s planned communities inside and out. We know which HOAs require a specific Sherwin-Williams exterior finish, which ones want oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and which ones will flag a door with the wrong grid pattern during their monthly drive-by. That local knowledge keeps your job moving instead of sitting in limbo.
Every technician who pulls up to your Wellington home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before the truck stops. And if you call us at 2 a.m. with a question about your door, a real person answers. Not a call center. Not a voicemail loop.
Wellington homeowners also get our Done Right Promise. If your door installation isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. That’s not a marketing line. That’s a century of accountability, in writing, from a locally owned company with a published address and license number.
We’re the Door Installation team Wellington calls when the first quote didn’t hold up.
Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
Entry Doors
A front door in Wellington does double duty. It has to look sharp for the HOA and hold up to 140+ mph wind pressures. Most of the entry doors we replace in 33414 are original 1980s and 1990s units with aluminum frames and worn weatherstripping. They leak air, they bind, and they don’t come close to current Florida Building Code impact standards. We install Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors that are impact-rated, energy-efficient, and available in finishes Wellington HOAs actually approve.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the service we prioritize across Wellington, because insurance companies are forcing it. Palm Beach County carriers are surcharging or non-renewing policies on homes without verified impact-rated openings. A hurricane-proof front door isn’t an upgrade anymore. It’s what keeps your policy in force. We install CGI and CWS impact-rated entry units with the proper Florida Product Approval numbers and design pressures matched to your specific opening. No guessing. No generic “impact-rated” claims without documentation.
French & Double Doors
French doors in Wellington are a particular challenge. The equestrian estates and custom homes in Palm Beach Polo often have oversized or arched openings that no distributor stocks. We order these specialty impact-rated units directly, which means custom fabrication runs about 4–6 weeks. Yes, a French door unit can absolutely meet the 140 mph wind requirement in Wellington. The key is the frame reinforcement and the proper anchoring schedule, not just the glass. We’ve done enough of these to know exactly what the county inspector will check.
Replacement Doors
Replacing an old door in a 1980s Wellington home often turns up problems you can’t see from the outside: rotted jambs, failed waterproofing under the threshold, or undersized framing that can’t carry a heavier impact-rated unit. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and get your written approval before touching anything unexpected. You’ll never get a surprise change order from us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, among others. That matters in Wellington because HOAs routinely require documentation proving the door meets Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval standards. We provide that paperwork with every install. And because we work with these manufacturers directly, Wellington customers get faster turnaround on warranty claims and replacement parts than they would through a big-box subcontractor.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- HOA stop-work orders. A door replaced without HOA pre-approval gets flagged during the community’s monthly drive-by review. The homeowner then has to reorder with a different exterior finish, eating the cost. We file HOA approval before we pull the permit, every time.
- Rotted jambs and hidden subfloor damage. Failed waterproofing around an older door’s threshold lets decades of Wellington’s afternoon thunderstorms soak into the wood. You don’t see the rot until the old door comes out. We quote for this up front.
- Undersized framing from the 1980s. Impact-rated doors weigh significantly more than the original aluminum units installed in Wellington’s first planned communities. If the rough opening isn’t rebuilt, the door binds and the weatherstripping fails within a year.
- Worn weatherstripping and failed IGU spacers. Wellington sits in an intense UV zone with near-daily summer storms. Original door seals from the 1990s are long past their functional life. That’s why your AC bill climbs and your door sticks every June.
Pricing for Door Installation in Wellington, FL
Here’s what we tell Wellington homeowners, straight up. A standard impact-rated entry door, installed, typically runs $2,800–$4,500. That includes removal of the old unit, reframing where needed, new weatherstripping, hardware, and finishing to HOA spec. French doors and double door units run $4,500–$9,000 depending on size and wind-load requirements. A simple non-impact replacement door is less, but we rarely recommend one in Wellington’s wind zone. The biggest cost drivers are opening size, frame material, whether the rough opening needs rebuilding, and the specific finish your HOA requires. We give free in-home measures and written line-item quotes so you know the exact number before you sign anything. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours.
What Door Installation Costs in Wellington
For a broader view of what door work runs in Wellington: impact windows generally land at $800–$1,500 per window installed, impact single-hungs at $900–$1,800, and large or custom openings at $2,500–$5,000. Whole-home packages that combine impact doors and windows typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on the house size. What moves the price in Wellington specifically? Opening count, floor height on two-story homes, the wind-zone calculations for your specific address, and frame material. Aluminum costs less than impact-rated fiberglass or wood-composite. We’ll measure every opening, check the existing framing, and give you a written quote before you commit to anything.
One comparison worth making: impact doors versus hanging hurricane shutters on your existing openings. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they only protect you if someone is home to hang them before a storm. Impact-rated doors protect you permanently, don’t require storage, and don’t add a nightly chore during hurricane season. For a lot of Wellington families, the permanent solution is the right call, especially given the insurance premium credits that follow a wind-mitigation inspection.
Florida Pays You Back
Wellington homeowners can stack several incentives on a door replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And once you install and document your impact-rated door, many Palm Beach County carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs roughly $75–$150). Programs and carrier decisions set the final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right paperwork but never guarantee an outcome.

FAQs — Door Installation in Wellington
The process starts with us pulling your HOA’s architectural review guidelines and submitting the required application with the exact frame color, exterior finish, and grid pattern specified before we ever file for a county permit. Your HOA board reviews it, usually at their next monthly meeting, and issues written pre-approval. Only then do we pull the Wellington permit. We handle all of that paperwork for you. Skipping this step is how stop-work orders happen. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll check your HOA’s requirements before you spend a dime.
Yes, very commonly. Homes built in Wellington’s 1980s and early 1990s planned communities often have rough openings framed for lightweight aluminum doors. Impact-rated doors weigh much more and need solid, properly anchored framing. We routinely find rotted wood, failed waterproofing, or undersized headers when the old door comes out. We inspect first, write the allowance into your contract, and get your written approval before doing any structural work.
Insurance companies treat the front door as a pressurization weak point. The wind force that enters through a failed front door during a storm can blow out the rest of your envelope. If even one opening isn’t impact-rated, they’ll rate the home as partially protected. Wellington sits in Palm Beach County’s 140+ mph design wind speed zone, so carriers are strict about it. An impact-rated front door closes that gap and often triggers premium credits.
Rotted jambs, subfloor damage from failed threshold waterproofing, undersized framing, and deteriorated weatherstripping are the big four. In the Olympia neighborhood, we replaced a 1990s aluminum entry door with a Therma-Tru impact-rated fiberglass door after finding the original jamb had rotted from years of afternoon thunderstorms. Our techs had to reframe the rough opening to meet current Florida Building Code, and the HOA required a specific paint finish before we could schedule the final inspection. That’s a typical Wellington job.
Yes. Impact-rated French door units are tested and approved for these wind loads. The key is the reinforced frame, the anchoring schedule, and the correct Florida Product Approval documentation for the configuration. We order these custom from our authorized manufacturers, which is why fabrication runs 4–6 weeks. Once your units arrive, installation is typically done in as fast as a single day. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote, including the HOA approval timeline.
