AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Pembroke Pines
Door installation in Pembroke Pines, FL typically runs $800-$2,400 for a standard entry door swap and $2,800-$6,500 for an impact-rated door with full frame replacement. Most jobs take one day once the permit is approved, but the permit and HOA sign-off usually add one to three weeks up front. We coordinate both. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence for your street, your HOA, and your door.
We know Pembroke Pines because we work it every week. The CBS homes in Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail, and Pembroke Falls have their own rhythms: builder-grade doors that were marginal in 1992, HOA architectural committees with strong opinions, and a city building department that will not issue a permit until both the product approval and the HOA letter are in hand. If you’re replacing a door here, you need a crew that has done it here before. That’s us.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Pembroke Pines’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We have been installing doors in Pembroke Pines long enough to know the difference between a Walnut Creek townhome and a Century Village condo, and we treat them differently. A townhome on a slab with a shared wall has different flashing details than a single-family CBS home in Pembroke Falls. A condo in Century Village has three sign-offs. A house in Silver Lakes has an HOA review board that meets on a schedule.
Our Pembroke Pines customers keep our number. We arrive on time, in uniform, with the right door on the truck and the right paperwork in the folder. We measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. It is how Dale Kessler built the company and how we run every job, including yours at (954) 280-4413.
We also answer the phone. A live person, any hour, every day. Not a voicemail tree. Not a regional call center. You call, a person picks up. That matters when your door is binding in July and you want an answer, not a callback.
Our Door Installation Services in Pembroke Pines
Impact-Rated Entry Doors
Most entry doors in Pembroke Pines were installed before the post-Andrew code overhaul, and many are hollow-core or single-lite steel with no impact rating. An impact-rated entry door runs $2,800-$6,000 installed here depending on size, swing, and finish. The door itself must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and the installation must meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone fastening schedule. We handle the product approval paperwork and the installation. We also coordinate the HOA submittal, because in Pembroke Pines, no HOA letter means no permit, and no permit means no inspection.
French & Double Doors
French doors are common on pool decks, patios, and rear elevations in Pembroke Pines homes, and most original units are aluminum sliders or builder-grade steel French doors that have been leaking air for twenty years. A new impact-rated French door set starts around $3,200 and runs to $7,500 for a wide opening with full frame replacement. We replace the entire unit, not just the slabs. Rebuilding the sill, flashing the rough opening correctly, and setting the threshold for proper drainage matters in a climate with a true rainy season and hurricane wind loads.
Storm Doors
A storm door is a smart second layer for Pembroke Pines front doors, especially on homes where the front door faces east or south and takes direct afternoon sun. Storm doors range from $600 to $1,800 installed. They protect the main door from UV and driven rain, and they let you vent the house in winter when the humidity is low. We stock storm door hardware locally and can usually install one in a single visit, HOA approval pending.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are showing up more often in higher-end Pembroke Pines remodels, particularly in Chapel Trail and Pembroke Falls where homeowners are reworking entry elevations for curb appeal. A pivot door is a different piece of hardware than a standard hinged door: the weight rides on a pivot hinge at top and bottom rather than two or three butt hinges. Installed correctly, a pivot door is stable and smooth. Installed by someone who has not done one before, it sags. We measure, order, and set pivot doors on the correct axis for the slab and the opening. Expect $4,500-$9,000 installed for a custom pivot entry.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pembroke Pines
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Pembroke Pines we most often quote CGI, PGT, and ES Windows for impact-rated door work. These are manufacturers whose product approvals are current with Miami-Dade and Broward County, which means the NOA paperwork is clean. We quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, and we stock common hardware and replacement components locally across South Florida so a service call in Pembroke Pines does not become a two-week parts wait.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Pembroke Pines Homes
- Rotted builder-grade jambs from 1985-2005 construction. The original entry doors on many Pembroke Pines CBS homes have wood jambs that were never properly flashed. After thirty years of South Florida humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, the lower jamb legs are soft. Reusing a rotten jamb is the single most common cause of a new door binding within a season. We replace the jamb and flash the rough opening correctly.
- Installers who skip the HOA architectural review. In Pembroke Pines, the HOA review is not optional. Start work before the architectural committee signs off and the city will not issue the permit. We have seen stop-work orders on jobs exactly like this. We file the HOA submittal first, every time.
- Doors installed without a Miami-Dade NOA. There are still contractors who will tell a homeowner that living west of I-75 exempts them from HVHZ rules. It does not. Broward County requires a valid NOA on every replacement exterior door in Pembroke Pines, water or not. If the door has no NOA, the inspection fails and the warranty on the door may be void from day one.
- Aluminum frame oxidation from UV and humidity. Original aluminum door frames in Pembroke Pines oxidize faster than most owners expect. The combination of intense UV, high year-round humidity, and periodic salt-air intrusion from the Atlantic eats the finish and seizes the weatherstripping. When the frame is gone, the door can never seal properly. We replace the full frame rather than band-aid it.
Pricing for Door Installation in Pembroke Pines, FL
Here are honest ranges from our recent Pembroke Pines jobs. A standard single entry door replacement, slab only, runs $800-$1,400. A full frame entry door replacement with rot repair runs $1,800-$2,800. An impact-rated entry door with full frame replacement and new hardware runs $2,800-$6,000. French double doors with impact glass run $3,200-$7,500. Storm doors run $600-$1,800. Pivot doors run $4,500-$9,000.
What changes the price is the condition of the rough opening, whether the jamb can be saved or needs full replacement, whether the door carries an NOA, and which hardware finish you choose. We give a written line-item quote before work starts, and the price does not change unless the scope does. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate. We give you the numbers on paper.

FAQs - Door Installation in Pembroke Pines
Yes. Every replacement exterior door in Pembroke Pines must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, regardless of how far inland your home sits. Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers all of Pembroke Pines, and the city will not issue a permit or pass a final inspection without a valid NOA. If a contractor tells you the NOA does not matter for an inland home, that contractor is wrong, and the door will likely fail inspection. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will confirm the NOA for any door you are considering.
Yes, and this is the most common scheduling mistake we see in Pembroke Pines. The city will not issue the permit until the HOA’s architectural review committee has signed off. If you install first and ask later, the HOA can require you to remove the door, and the city can issue a stop-work order. We submit the HOA package before we order the door, and we time the install to the committee’s meeting calendar. It costs nothing extra and keeps the job legal.
In a Century Village condo, replacing only the slab of a sliding glass door is almost never the right move. The original frames are aluminum, most have corroded tracks, and the slab you buy new will not seat correctly in a thirty-year-old frame. Worse, the condo association, the city, and the HVHZ product approval rules all treat a door replacement as a building-envelope change, so you need three sign-offs regardless. We replace the full frame and coordinate all three approvals. It is a slower process, but it passes inspection the first time.
No. Reusing a rotten jamb to avoid an HOA review is a false economy. The HOA review is still required either way in Pembroke Pines, and a new door set into a rotten jamb will bind, sag, or fail within a season. We replaced a corroded single-lite entry on a CBS home in Silver Lakes where the jamb was completely gone. We installed an impact-rated Pella fiberglass door with a multi-point locking system and new weatherstripping, but the jamb was replaced first. The HOA submittal and city permit went through together, and the job passed on the first inspection. Save your money for the right fix, not a patch.
For a true interior door swap inside your unit, with no changes to the exterior wall or the fire-rated assembly, you generally do not need a city permit in Pembroke Pines. But in a townhome, the wall between your unit and your neighbor’s may be a fire-rated assembly, and modifying the door within that assembly could require HOA and city review. If the door you are replacing is on an exterior wall or serves a garage, the NOA and permit rules apply. Call (954) 280-4413 before you pull the old door. We will tell you where your specific opening falls.
