Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who got tired of watching homeowners pay for out-of-true installs and voided warranties. The company’s been serving Broward County since 2008 through that heritage, and the founding rule is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every swing door, French unit, and storm door we set in Davie.
What Davie homeowners get with us is a written quote before work starts, both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing with durations stated, and a Done Right Promise on every job. We don’t argue about callbacks. If it’s not done right, we make it right, on paper, without fine print that covers neither. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side so you can see exactly what you’re buying. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen lines, including, PGT.
Dispatch for Davie jobs is coordinated from our Miami area office, but the crews working your home live and schedule locally. When we say we’ll be there, we mean it. A live person answers the phone around the clock, and we sponsor county fairs and church roof funds in this community because we plan on being here in thirty years.
Our Door Installation Services in Davie
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Davie front doors on 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch homes are original hollow-core or thin aluminum units that have warped in the humidity. We replace them with properly flashed, plumb, and true swing doors rated for Broward County wind loads. On a 1978 CBS ranch off Flamingo Road, our crew pulled a corroded slider and reset the opening with stainless hardware that won’t seize the way the original did. In equestrian-zoned neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Imagination Farms, we see a lot of homeowners who want a sturdier entry door before hurricane season. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, Andersen next to so you can see the actual difference in frame construction and finish warranty.
Double & French Doors
French doors in Davie fail in predictable ways: the mullion between panels sags, the active leaf drags, and the weatherstripping gets eaten by salt air and UV. We rebuild or replace those openings with fusion-welded frames and stainless rollers where the design allows. If you have a wide sliding glass door opening designed for indoor-outdoor living, common across Davie’s ranch stock, we can set an impact-rated unit that actually opens and closes in July. That’s not a luxury here. It’s the difference between a door that passes a wind-mitigation inspection and one that doesn’t.
Storm Doors
Storm doors take a beating in Davie. Intense UV exposure fades and embrittles the outer skin, and salt air pits the aluminum threshold within five to seven years. We install storm doors with powder-coated frames and stainless hinges that hold up to the same conditions. For homes near the intersection of Stirling Road and Davie Road, we recommend a full-view storm door with a reinforced core so it can handle the sun and still give you cross-ventilation in the winter months.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a different animal. They rely on a floor pivot and top pin rather than traditional hinges, and they require a dead-level floor and a perfectly plumb rough opening. In Davie’s CBS ranch homes, slab settlement and humidity drift mean the floor is rarely level by the time we’re called. We measure, shim, and set the pivot hardware so the leaf swings true on day one and stays that way. Pivot doors can be fitted with impact-rated glass, but the frame and hardware must be specified for HVHZ wind loads. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
If you’re not sure which service your home needs, call (954) 280-4413. We’ll walk you through it over the phone and set a time to measure the opening.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Davie jobs we lean on the products that actually survive this climate. ViewLux impact-rated sliders with fusion-welded frames and stainless rollers are a frequent specification for coastal-exposure homes here, because the salt air chews through lesser aluminum in under a decade. Andersen and ES Windows come up regularly for entry and French door work where the homeowner wants a specific aesthetic or finish warranty. We don’t push one brand. We quote them side by side on paper, durations stated, so you see exactly what your money buys. Local Davie customers get the same parts turnaround as any other neighborhood we serve, because we stock common components and order the rest before the truck leaves the driveway.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Salt air corrosion on aluminum thresholds and hardware. Within five to seven years, rollers bind and frames pit. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware on every exterior door we set in Davie.
- Original single-pane sliding glass doors failing HVHZ wind-load testing. These doors cannot be retrofitted to comply. Insurance companies often won’t write or renew a policy with them in place. Full replacement with a Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact unit is the only fix.
- Rusted fasteners on exterior hinge doors snapping during removal. When a 40-year-old hinge screw shears off in a CBS jamb, we repair the masonry before setting new hardware. This is normal in Davie and we plan for it.
- Fogged insulated glass in double French doors. Humidity and UV here kill seals faster than central or northern Florida. Once the seal fails, the panes need replacement or the whole unit needs to be swapped. We’ll tell you which one makes sense before we touch the door.
Pricing for Door Installation in Davie, FL
A typical entry door replacement in Davie runs $1,400-$3,200, depending on whether you choose a standard steel or fiberglass slab or a full-frame unit with side lites. Double French doors fall between $2,800-$6,500, with the higher end covering impact-rated glass and stainless hardware. Storm doors run $600-$1,400. Pivot doors are a different beast entirely: most Davie pivot jobs land between $4,500-$9,000 because the rough opening almost always needs attention before the pivot hardware can be set true. These are installed prices, not just product costs. You’ll know the exact number before we start because we measure twice and write the quote line by line.
The biggest factor in Davie pricing is whether the existing opening needs masonry repair. Salt air rusts fasteners into the block, and removing a 45-year-old door often means patching the jamb before the new unit goes in. That work is honest labor and we tell you about it before it happens. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, no obligation.

FAQs - Door Installation in Davie
Because the frame itself is the problem. Original 1970s and 1980s aluminum sliders in Davie homes were never engineered for the wind loads Broward County requires today. The glass is only one part of the failure. You can put new glass in an old frame, but the unit will still fail a wind-mitigation inspection, and your insurer can still decline coverage. The frame has to come out and a full Miami-Dade NOA-rated unit has to go in. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll explain what your specific opening needs.
Salt air creates a fine corrosive film on metal surfaces. Hinges pit, screws seize, and weatherstripping loses its memory and cracks. Within five to seven years, a standard steel hinge in Davie can look ten years older than the same hinge in an inland neighborhood. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware on exterior doors here as a matter of course. It costs a little more up front and saves you from paying for a second install in under a decade. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on replacing that tired front door.
Yes, in a specific way. Impact-rated laminated glass blocks a significant portion of UV radiation compared to single-pane glass. That means less fading on your floors and furniture behind the door. It’s not the main reason to buy one, but it’s a real side benefit, especially on east- and west-facing openings in Davie. We’ll quote both impact and non-impact options side by side so you can see the cost difference and decide what matters to you. Call (954) 280-4413 to talk through it.
The seal has failed. Moisture has gotten into the insulated glass unit and it will never clear on its own. In Davie’s humidity, a failed seal on a French door can fog within a year of failing. The fix is replacing the glass unit or the entire door, depending on the condition of the frame. We’ll check the frame first, because if the mullion is sagging or the active leaf is dragging, new glass won’t fix the real problem. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you which repair is worth your money.
Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact units cost more than standard doors, and Davie is squarely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone where those units are required. On top of that, many Davie homes need masonry repair when the old corroded fasteners come out. Inland Broward homes don’t face the same salt air exposure, so their openings and hardware deteriorate differently. The cheap inland spec doesn’t survive Davie’s conditions for long. The price gap is the difference between a door that passes inspection and one that fails it. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
