AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Tequesta
A properly installed exterior door in Tequesta has to do more than open and close. It has to hold against 160 mph design wind pressures, keep salt-driven rain out of the jamb, and survive a decade of Loxahatchee River estuary air without the frame letting go. That’s the standard we build to. TruePane Windows & Doors serves the entire Tequesta village, from the ranch homes west of US-1 to the waterfront properties along the Intracoastal, and our crews know exactly which products meet Florida’s wind-borne debris code here and which ones won’t pass the first inspection. Call us at (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come out, measure every opening twice, and put a written quote in front of you. No pressure. No shortcuts.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Tequesta’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been doing this work since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008, carrying on a glazing tradition that stretches back more than years. Tequesta homeowners reach out to us for one reason mostly: they had a door installed years ago that now binds, leaks, or fails inspection, and they don’t want to go through that twice. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. That’s not a slogan. It’s the only way a repair company stays in business for four decades in one region.
Every job carries our Done Right Promise under The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated clearly. If something isn’t right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. Just a phone call answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Door Installation Services in Tequesta
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door on a Tequesta home isn’t decorative. It’s the first line of defense in a wind event, and if the slab isn’t anchored to the rough opening with the right fasteners at the right spacing, the whole assembly becomes a missile during a storm. We install impact-rated steel, fiberglass, and wood entry doors that meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements, and we always reframe or reinforce the jamb when the existing structure doesn’t pass. Most single-panel entry door replacements in Tequesta run $1,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on slab material, hardware grade, and whether the rough opening needs reconstruction.
Storm Doors
For Tequesta homeowners who want to protect an expensive front door from direct salt exposure and driving rain, a storm door adds a sacrificial layer that’s easier to replace than the primary slab. We install aluminum and vinyl storm doors with corrosion-resistant hardware that holds up to the estuary air far longer than box-store zinc fasteners. A reputable storm door with proper anchoring runs $500 to $1,200 in Tequesta, installed.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors change the equation. Now you’re talking about two slabs, an astragal, active and passive panel alignment, and twice the hardware exposure. On Tequesta homes, we regularly see French doors from the 1980s where the bottom rail has rotted or the salt has frozen the flush bolts solid. A full impact-rated French door replacement with new framing typically runs $4,500 to $9,500 depending on glass package, material, and width. Half-measures don’t work here. A glass-only swap on non-impact frames won’t pass inspection and won’t satisfy your insurer.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are heavier, wider, and trickier to set than a standard hinged slab. The pivot hinge carries the entire weight of the door at a single point, so the floor reinforcement and header engineering have to be right or the door settles and drags within a year. We’ve installed pivot doors on several newer custom homes in the Jupiter Inlet area, and we handle the structural prep, the leveling, and the final adjustment so the door swings true on day one and stays that way. Pricing for a fully installed pivot door in Tequesta starts around $6,000 and runs up from there based on slab size and hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Tequesta’s wind-load requirements we lean on products we’ve seen pass storm season after storm season: CGI, PGT, and ES Windows are the names stamped on most of the impact doors we set in this village. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying, and we stock local hardware and common replacement parts for Tequesta customers so a service call doesn’t turn into a two-week parts wait. If you’re replacing an aging door with an impact-rated unit, we’ll help you pick a product that matches your home’s architecture and your insurance carrier’s requirements.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Jalousie louvered front doors and sidelites. These were common on Tequesta homes built before air conditioning was standard, but they don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris rules. They are uninsurable as-is, and the fix isn’t a glass swap. The entire unit has to be demolished and the opening reframed before any impact product can go in.
- Salt-air corrosion eating through aluminum frames. The Jupiter Inlet and Loxahatchee River put more salt in the air than most people realize, and it reaches every home in the village, not just waterfront property. On 1970s aluminum frames, we regularly find fasteners that have oxidized to powder inside the jamb. The door slab looks fine. The frame is done.
- Non-impact doors installed after the 2001 Florida Building Code took effect. Some homes in Tequesta have relatively new looking doors that were never tested or approved for the wind-borne debris region. They look fine on a sunny day, but they won’t pass a wind-load inspection after a hurricane event, and your carrier will know the difference between a Florida Product Approved unit and one that isn’t.
- Out-of-square openings from decades of settling. Tequesta’s sandy soil and the age of many CBS homes here mean door rough openings are rarely square after 40 years. A technician who measures once and orders a stock slab will give you a door that binds in July. We measure every opening twice, in both diagonals, and quote accordingly.
Pricing for Door Installation in Tequesta, FL
Here’s what a door job in Tequesta actually costs, based on what we quote and install. Entry and swing door replacements run $1,800 to $4,200. Storm doors run $500 to $1,200. French doors run $4,500 to $9,500, with the higher end reflecting impact-rated glass packages and full-frame reconstruction. Pivot doors start at $6,000 and climb with slab size. The biggest cost driver in Tequesta specifically is whether the existing opening can be reused. On a 1970s ranch with a jalousie frame and corrosion-damaged jamb, the full reframe adds $600 to $1,800 to the job. A cheap quote that skips the reframe isn’t a deal. It’s a door that leaks and fails inspection. We offer free estimates with written line-item pricing, so you’ll see exactly where every dollar goes. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Door Installation in Tequesta
Every single home in Tequesta sits inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region with design wind speeds above 160 mph. The village is roughly two square miles, bounded by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Loxahatchee River estuary near the Jupiter Inlet. There is no inland zone where a non-impact door with shutters is an acceptable substitute. If your door is being replaced at all, the new unit must be Florida Product Approved for wind-borne debris protection. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll confirm what your particular opening requires and quote compliant products.
No. Jalousie doors and windows are non-compliant under current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris rules, and the frames cannot accept impact glazing. This is the most common condition we find on older Tequesta homes, especially the CBS ranches built between the late 1960s and 1980s. The fix is a full demolition of the old jalousie unit, reframing of the rough opening, and installation of a new impact-rated door. It costs more than a glass swap because it is more work. Any contractor who offers to “retrofit” jalousie glass is selling you an uninsurable patch. We handle the full reframe correctly. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free quote.
It corrodes them faster than you’d expect. The estuary air carries chloride that penetrates beyond the waterfront and reaches every neighborhood in this two-square-mile village. On 1970s aluminum door frames, the fasteners inside the jamb get eaten away, and the frame delaminates where you can’t see it until the door starts sagging. A door slab swap on a corroded jamb is wasted money. The frame has to come out and be replaced. We specify corrosion-resistant hardware and stainless fasteners on every Tequesta door job, and we tape and seal the rough opening so moisture can’t get back in. Call (954) 280-4413 for an inspection if your door has started sticking or the frame shows white oxidation.
A compliant quote includes the permit, the structural inspection, the Florida Product Approved door assembly, proper anchoring to the rough opening, reinforcement or full replacement of the existing jamb, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. It also includes written registration of both manufacturer warranty layers. A cheap quote typically includes a stock slab, reuse of the existing frame no matter its condition, zinc hardware, and no permit. In Tequesta, that cheap quote eventually costs you a failed wind-load inspection, a denied insurance claim, or a blanked reservation from your carrier. We put every line item on paper before work starts. Call (954) 280-4413 to compare your quotes side by side.
Yes, in most cases. Florida carriers give premium credits for documented wind-mitigation improvements, and an impact-rated door with an anchoring inspection report is one of the most straightforward credits available. After we complete your installation, we make sure you have the documentation your carrier needs. On the claim side, if a storm damages a non-compliant door that wasn’t Florida Product Approved, the carrier can deny or reduce the claim. A compliant installation gives you the paperwork that holds up. We don’t process insurance on your behalf, but we install to the standard your policy expects. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what a compliant quote includes for your specific opening.
Ready to get a straight answer and a written quote? Call TruePane Windows & Doors at (954) 280-4413. We’ll send a technician to your Tequesta home, measure the opening, review your options, and put the price in writing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
