AfterTrusted Door Installation for Boynton Beach Homeowners
Door Installation in Boynton Beach typically runs $1,200-$4,800 depending on the opening type, frame condition, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated products. Most residential door replacements we complete in Palm Beach County take one day from removal to final hardware adjustment, with the written quote finalized during our measured survey before any work begins. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule yours.
We’ve installed and replaced doors across Boynton Beach since 2012, from the single-family homes near Boynton Beach Boulevard to the townhome communities off Gateway Boulevard, and also handle Door Installation - Delray Beach. The salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane exposure here do specific damage to door assemblies: frame rot at the sill, corrosion on coastal-grade hardware, and seal failure that shows up as condensation between glass lites on patio doors. Our technicians document every opening with frame readings, sightline measurements, and product specs - the measured survey you keep, the written scope you approve, and the photo record you receive when we’re done. That’s Haven Clause 1 (Have it in writing), Haven Clause 4 (Evidence on every job), and Haven Clause 5 (No surprises) applied to every one of the 18,000+ openings we’ve touched.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
An entry door is the primary operable assembly at your home’s main access point, comprising the slab, frame, hinges, hardware, and weatherseal system. In Boynton Beach, we see the most failure at the bottom rail and threshold, where splashback from summer storms saturates the substrate and the frame pulls away from the rough opening. We measure the existing rough opening to 1/16 inch, specify the replacement unit by performance tier - from standard fiberglass to impact-rated - and the written quote reflects the exact product, labor, and finish carpentry required.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Hurricane-proof doors, properly called impact-rated doors, carry Florida Product Approval and meet Miami-Dade or Broward County standards for large-missile impact and cyclic pressure loading. Boynton Beach sits in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any door replacement on an exterior wall should at minimum be evaluated for impact rating. We stock and install impact-rated entry systems from PGT and CGI, specifying glazing packages by design pressure rating and exposure category. The measured survey includes your home’s exposure - single-story versus multi-story, corner versus interior lot - because the design pressure requirement changes.
French & Double Doors
French doors are paired operable units with full glass lites, typically opening to a patio or balcony, while double doors describe any paired assembly including those with reduced glazing. The critical failure point we find in Boynton Beach is the astragal and multi-point locking hardware, which corrodes in salt air and allows the inactive leaf to rack in the frame. We specify hardware by coastal-grade finish - stainless steel or PVD-coated - and adjust the installation sequence to maintain sightline alignment across both leaves. Our written scope notes whether the existing header carries the load or requires reinforcement.
Replacement Doors
Replacement door installation addresses an existing unit that has failed or no longer performs: air infiltration, water intrusion, binding operation, or security compromise. We don’t assume the existing frame is reusable. Our measured survey checks the rough opening for square, level, and plumb; notes the substrate condition; and documents any water damage to the surrounding wall assembly. The written quote specifies either a retro-fit installation (new unit in existing frame) or full-frame replacement with finish carpentry - two different price points, two different scopes, both named in dollars before work starts.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm doors are secondary protective assemblies mounted on the exterior of primary entry doors, while exterior doors describe any door exposed to weather - garage service doors, side-entry doors, pool bath doors. In Boynton Beach, we install full-view storm doors with retractable screens for ventilation season, and specify extruded aluminum frames with stainless steel hinges for coastal durability. The written scope addresses the mounting surface (masonry, wood, or vinyl cladding), the closer type (pneumatic versus hydraulic), and the screen mesh specification.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We specify from eight manufacturer lines, selected by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For entry door systems, we regularly install Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel units, specifying their Pulse and Classic-Craft lines by U-factor and SHGC performance for the exposure. We’ve completed hundreds of Therma-Tru installations in Palm Beach County and maintain direct distributor relationships for warranty registration and parts availability. For impact-rated patio and entry doors, PGT and CGI are our primary specification - their WinGuard and Estate Collections carry the Florida Product Approval numbers required for permit submission in Boynton Beach and for Boca Raton Door Installation. We document the approval number on the written scope so the permit inspector has it at rough and final.
ViewLux handles our custom and oversized openings where standard unit dimensions won’t work, including the tall entry systems popular in the newer construction west of Lyons Road. Their made-to-order lead times run 8-12 weeks, which we note on the written quote so you can plan accordingly. Whether you have Therma-Tru, ViewLux, PGT, CGI, or any other make - including units we didn’t install originally - we can evaluate, specify replacement, and complete the installation under the Haven Standard.

AfterSigns You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Visible daylight around the closed door perimeter. Gaps at the jamb, head, or threshold mean the weatherseal system has failed or the frame has shifted in the opening. In Boynton Beach’s summer humidity, this gap drives air conditioning load and allows wind-driven rain to reach the subfloor.
- Operation requires shoulder force or the latch doesn’t catch. Binding indicates frame racking, hinge failure, or foundation settlement affecting the opening. Continued forced operation damages the hardware mortises and can split the door slab at the lock stile.
- Water staining on the interior floor or baseboard below the door. This is active intrusion, not past damage. The source may be threshold seal failure, improper flashing at the sill, or frame separation from the rough opening. Left unaddressed, it rots the sill plate and adjacent framing.
- Condensation between glass lites on a patio or entry door with insulating glass. Seal failure in the IGU (insulated glass unit) means the low-E coating and argon fill are compromised. The glass will continue to fog, and the metallic coating visible at the edge indicates the unit is beyond repair.
- Corrosion on hinges, handles, or multi-point locking hardware. Salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion, particularly on hardware with zinc or standard steel substrates. Stiff or seized hardware compromises security and can damage the door slab if forced. Coastal-grade replacement hardware is part of our standard specification for Boynton Beach installations.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and written quote. Our technician arrives at the scheduled time (Haven Clause 2: Arrive on schedule), verifies identity by license number (Haven Clause 3: Verified crews), and measures the existing opening - width, height, depth, and squareness - to 1/16 inch. We photograph the existing condition, note substrate and trim requirements, and specify the replacement unit by manufacturer, model, and performance data. You receive the written quote before we leave; the measurement and the quote are the same document, unchanged at installation.
- 2
Permit application and product ordering. For impact-rated replacements and any work affecting the egress path, we pull the permit and schedule inspection. The written scope includes the Florida Product Approval number, the design pressure rating, and the installation method. Product lead times vary: standard fiberglass entry units run 2-4 weeks, custom ViewLux orders 8-12 weeks. We confirm delivery before scheduling installation.
- 3
Removal and substrate inspection. On installation day, we remove the existing unit, protect the interior with drop cloths, and inspect the rough opening for water damage, termite activity, or frame deterioration - common in Boynton Beach homes where splashback has been ongoing. Any substrate repair is documented with photographs and added to the written scope only with your approval; Haven Clause 5 means no surprises.
- 4
Installation, insulation, and air sealing. We set the new unit on a bed of sealant, shim to plumb and level, and secure through the frame or with structural screws per manufacturer specification. The gap between frame and rough opening is insulated with low-expansion foam and capped with backer rod and sealant. We test operation, verify lock engagement, and confirm the sightline - the visible alignment of frame edges when the door is closed - is true.
- 5
Documentation, walkthrough, and warranty registration. We photograph the completed installation, register the product warranty with the manufacturer, and provide you with the documented photo record, the final invoice matching the written quote, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is not done right, we make it right - written into the Haven Standard, not a verbal assurance.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Boynton Beach?
A standard entry door replacement in Boynton Beach, using a quality fiberglass slab in the existing frame, typically runs $1,200-$2,400 including removal, installation, hardware, and trim carpentry. Full-frame replacement with impact-rated product, new flashing, and finish work runs $2,800-$4,800. French and double door assemblies start around $3,200 for standard product and reach $6,500+ for impact-rated units with multi-point hardware and custom sizing. Storm door installation on an existing primary door runs $800-$1,600 depending on frame material and screen type.
| Door Type | Typical Range in Boynton Beach | What Affects Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard entry door (retro-fit) | $1,200 - $2,400 | Slab material, hardware grade, trim condition |
| Impact-rated entry door (full frame) | $2,800 - $4,800 | Design pressure rating, glazing, permit/inspection |
| French/double doors | $3,200 - $6,500+ | Unit width, impact rating, hardware specification |
| Storm door | $800 - $1,600 | Frame material, screen type, closer mechanism |
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Frame condition is the largest variable: a rotted sill or damaged rough opening requires carpentry repair before the new unit can be set. Product specification matters - a standard fiberglass slab from Therma-Tru costs less than their impact-rated Pulse line with decorative glass. Hardware upgrades, custom paint or stain matching, and sidelite or transom coordination add scope. What doesn’t change the price after the fact is our process: the written quote you approve is the invoice you pay. No change orders for conditions we should have caught, no “while we’re here” additions. If we missed something in the measured survey, we absorb it.
To avoid overpaying, get the specification in writing - not just the brand name, but the model, the performance data, and the installation method. Compare quotes line by line, and bring us any competitor’s written estimate for a free second opinion. We’ll review the product specification, the scope of work, and the price - no charge, no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Boynton Beach
Door installation is the complete process of removing an existing door assembly and setting a new unit, including the slab, frame, hardware, weatherseal, and finish carpentry. At Sightline, it begins with a measured survey you keep and ends with a documented photo record, with the written quote unchanged between those two points.
Most single door replacements are completed in one day, from removal through final hardware adjustment and cleanup. French and double door assemblies, or jobs requiring substrate repair, may extend to two days. We specify the duration on the written quote so you can plan accordingly. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact timeline - estimates are free.
Standard entry door replacement runs $1,200-$2,400; impact-rated full-frame installations run $2,800-$4,800; French and double doors start at $3,200. The specific price depends on frame condition, product specification, and whether permits and inspections are required. Call (561) 421-3844 for a written quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We specify and install Therma-Tru, PGT, CGI, ViewLux, and the full range of manufacturer lines we carry, and we service doors we didn’t originally install. The measured survey identifies the existing unit by manufacturer and model; if parts are available, we can repair. If replacement is more cost-effective, we specify by performance, not by margin.
We answer calls live 24/7 and schedule measured surveys as promptly as possible, but door installation is planned work requiring product ordering and permit lead time. For security-compromised openings, we can board and secure the opening as a temporary measure while the replacement unit is sourced. Call (561) 421-3844 to discuss timing.
Every installation is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not done right, we make it right, written into the Haven Standard. Product warranties vary by manufacturer: Therma-Tru offers limited lifetime on the slab, PGT and CGI offer limited lifetime on the frame and glass. We register the product warranty and provide you the documentation.
Clear a path from the entry to the work area, remove window treatments on adjacent sidelites, and secure pets. Our technician needs access to the interior and exterior of the opening. Beyond that, no special preparation is required - we bring drop cloths, tools, and removal debris containment. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your measured survey.
