AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hobe Sound
Door installation in Hobe Sound means working with salt air, humidity, and one of the strictest wind codes on Florida’s East Coast. We install entry doors, French doors, pivot doors, storm doors, and custom units throughout the 33455 zip code, from the mainland’s concrete ranch homes to the oceanfront estates on Jupiter Island. A typical entry or swing door replacement in Hobe Sound runs $1,800 to $5,200 installed, depending on impact rating and rough-opening work. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll send a uniformed technician who measures twice and quotes in writing.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, who built the company on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’ve spent years serving communities like Hobe Sound, and our crews know what the salt air off the Intracoastal does to aluminum jambs, hinges, and thresholds. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, but the technicians who show up at your Hobe Sound door are local, background-checked, and trained the way Dale trained his first crew: measure every opening twice, register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves, and stand behind the work for 90 days with the Done Right Promise. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
Homeowners in Hobe Sound call us because they’ve been burned before, sometimes by a door that binds every July when the humidity peaks, sometimes by a rusty threshold that let water into the slab. We don’t patch those problems. We re-frame the rough opening, set a marine-grade threshold, and give you something that actually closes square and latches in a blow.
Our Door Installation Services in Hobe Sound
Every neighborhood in Hobe Sound has its own door profile, and we install across all of them. Here’s what we handle most often.
Entry & Swing Doors
Most mainland Hobe Sound homes built in the 1960s and 1970s still have their original entry doors, and many of those are jalousie-framed units whose aluminum jambs have pitted in the salt air. We replace them with fusion-welded impact-rated doors that meet Martin County’s wind-borne debris requirements. On a ranch off Gomez Avenue, our crew pulled an original jalousie entry door whose aluminum jamb had corroded so deeply that the sill screws stripped on removal. We re-framed the rough opening, layered flashing tape over a new pressure-treated buck, and set a custom ViewLux unit with a stainless steel threshold. That’s the standard on every Hobe Sound entry door we set.
Double & French Doors
French doors in Hobe Sound take a beating from the ocean air. The bottom rails corrode from trapped salt moisture at the sill, and the door leaf that gets used most starts to sag within a few years. We install double and French doors with reinforced corner blocks, marine-grade hinges, and fully sealed thresholds, and we size the units so both leaves meet flush without binding when the humidity swells the jambs in August.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are popular on Hobe Sound patios and pool access points, especially on the newer homes west of US-1. The hardware on cheap folding doors rusts fast here; we specify stainless rollers, stainless tracks, and galvanized mounting screws, then seal the bottom track so standing water does not sit against the door panel. If you’re replacing an old patio door with a multi-panel folding unit, we’ll check the header load path before we touch the opening.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors show up on the Jupiter Island side of Hobe Sound, where oceanfront estates answer to architectural review boards and off-the-shelf entry doors don’t make the cut. We install custom steel-reinforced pivot doors with concealed closers, stainless pivot hinges, and impact glazing matched to the house’s original architectural language. These are not stock units. We measure, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Hobe Sound isn’t a decorative add-on. It’s the outer layer of defense against wind-driven rain, salt spray, and seasonal storms off the Atlantic. We install storm doors rated for coastal exposure, with stainless hardware and thresholds that drain away from the slab rather than toward it. For mainland homes without impact-rated entry doors, a well-set storm door also keeps the inner door from swelling and sticking every summer.

A person answers. We fix it.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
These are failures we’ve actually pulled out of Hobe Sound homes, not generic warnings.
- Corroded jalousie door jambs on mainland CBS ranches. The salt-laden air between the ocean and the Intracoastal pits aluminum within a decade. The door sags, the seal fails, and water wicks into the slab every time it rains. The fix is full removal, rough-opening re-framing, and an impact-rated replacement.
- Rusted galvanized hinges and threshold screws on Jupiter Island entries. Big-box galvanized hardware rusts through in about five years of direct ocean exposure. We replace every piece with stainless or marine-grade fasteners so the door latches correctly in a wind event.
- Rotting wood sub-sills from trapped salt moisture. Unsealed paver or slab joints at entry landings hold salt-laden moisture against the door sill. The sub-sill rots, the bottom rail corrodes from underneath, and the door frame starts to spike at the corners. We seal the landing joint and set a marine-grade threshold as part of the install.
- Sagging slabs and out-of-square rough openings on aging ranches. Forty and fifty-year-old concrete slabs in Hobe Sound settle. When they do, the rough opening loses its square, and a new door installed without correcting the framing will bind within a season. We shim, plane, or re-frame the buck so the door swings true on day one and stays true.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hobe Sound, FL
Here’s what Hobe Sound homeowners can expect to pay, including labor, standard hardware, and basic rough-opening work. Impact-rated units cost more than non-impact, and Jupiter Island custom work runs higher due to architectural review and custom sizing.
- Entry or swing door, non-impact: $1,800 to $3,400 installed
- Entry or swing door, impact-rated: $2,600 to $5,200 installed
- Double or French door, impact-rated: $4,000 to $8,500 installed, depending on width and glass
- Storm door, coastal-rated hardware: $900 to $2,200 installed
- Pivot door, custom (Jupiter Island common): $8,000 to $25,000 plus, depending on size, glass spec, and finish
- Rough-opening re-framing (when jalousie jambs have pitted through): add $400 to $1,200 depending on the sill condition
Coastal-spec hardware costs more than the inland version. Stainless hinges, marine-grade thresholds, sealed joints, and impact-rated glazing add anywhere from 20% to 40% to the material line. The cheap inland-spec door is less expensive on day one, but in Hobe Sound it rusts, sags, and fails within a decade, and then you’ve paid for the door twice. We quote the coastal spec as our default because that’s what this air demands. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written line-item quote, and the estimate is free.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hobe Sound
Yes, if your home falls within Martin County’s wind-borne debris region, which covers the coastal parcels of Hobe Sound including most of the 33455 zip. Florida Building Code requires all exterior openings in that region to be impact-rated or protected by shutters. The mainland ranches off Bridge Road and Gomez Avenue are inside the region, not just the Jupiter Island estate homes. We confirm code requirements during your free estimate and quote impact-rated units as the default where code requires them. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll verify your specific parcel’s requirement.
Jupiter Island sits with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, so there is no inland buffer to break the salt spray. Stuart and Palm City sit further from the immediate surf line, and the air reaching them has lost much of its salt load. On Jupiter Island, aluminum door frames without a marine-grade finish or adequate anodization begin pitting within three to five years. We specify powder-coated, coastal-rated aluminum for every Jupiter Island install and use stainless fasteners throughout. For a full assessment of your existing frames, call (954) 280-4413.
Yes. Jupiter Island and several gated communities within Hobe Sound have design review standards that govern door proportions, material finishes, and even glass tint. If you’re in an architecturally reviewed community, you’ll need to submit your door selection for approval before installation. We’ve worked with these boards on custom pivot doors and impact units that meet both code and aesthetic requirements, and we’ll prepare the submittal package for you as part of the job. Call (954) 280-4413 and tell us your community, and we’ll walk you through what’s required.
Run your hand along the bottom rail and the hinge side on a humid morning. If you feel air moving, if daylight shows through the weatherstripping, or if the door sticks only in summer, the seal has failed and the jamb has likely swelled or the slab has shifted. Another tell: condensation or a faint salt crust on the bottom interior corner after a storm. We’ll inspect the door, the sill, and the rough opening during a free estimate and tell you whether it’s a seal replacement or a full re-frame. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule yours.
The original doors in those homes were set in narrow aluminum jambs that can’t accept a modern impact-rated unit. Impact doors run thicker, and the slab-settled openings in these aging ranches have usually drifted out of square. We re-frame the opening, install a pressure-treated buck, and layer flashing tape before setting the new door; without that work, the new unit binds and the warranty will not hold. This adds $400 to $1,200 to the job and it’s the reason a cheap quote skips the framing work. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact figure on your opening.
