AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Boca Raton
Door installation in Boca Raton carries a set of rules most contractors in South Florida never have to think about. If you live in Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, or any of the other private communities that define this city, your new front door needs two approvals before a single screw goes in: first from your community’s Architectural Review Committee, then from Palm Beach County. We handle both. TruePane Windows & Doors has worked inside Boca Raton’s gated communities long enough to know which frame colors each ARC will accept, which hardware finishes get flagged, and how to pull a county permit without the job stalling. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what your specific property needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he kept seeing the same thing happen to Boca Raton homeowners: a door gets replaced, the warranty gets voided because the paperwork was never registered, and the contractor who did the work is gone. That is not how we operate. Every TruePane job ends with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a Done Right Promise that says plainly: if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before any quote goes on paper. We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Ply Gem, and more than a dozen other lines, and we quote side by side so you see exactly what you are paying for. When a live person answers the phone at 2 a.m. because your front door will not latch after a storm, that is us. Not a call center. Not a voicemail tree. A person who knows doors.
Boca Raton is among the most demanding markets in Palm Beach County for door work. Salt air east of I-95 corrodes aluminum frames faster than manufacturers’ standard specs anticipate. Arvida-era homes from the 1960s through the 1980s carry original single-pane doors that fall short of current wind-borne debris standards. And the ARC process inside gated communities means a door that looks right but does not match the community’s architectural standards will not make it past the first review. We have been through this enough times to know the sequence cold.
Our Door Installation Services in Boca Raton
Most homeowners reach out about one of four door types. Here is how each one works in Boca Raton, and what to expect.
Entry & Swing Doors
Your front door is the first thing an inspector, an insurance adjuster, and a guest all see. Door Installation in Boca Raton’s coastal communities means the entry door has to carry an impact rating that meets Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements, not just look good from the street. We install impact-rated entry doors from PGT, CGI, and Andersen, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. On a typical Arvida-era home in Boca Pointe or Woodfield, a standard impact-rated entry door replacement with new hardware runs $2,800 to $5,600, depending on glass package and finish.
Double & French Doors
Double doors are where ARC committees pay the closest attention in Boca Raton. Frame color, hardware finish, glass tint, and even the profile style get scrutinized, and a rejection at that stage adds two to four weeks to your timeline. We prepare the ARC submittal for you, with manufacturer spec sheets and finish samples attached, so the committee sees exactly what the door will look like installed. Impact Windows & Doors - Boca Raton impact-rated double French doors typically run $5,200 to $11,500, with the higher end reflecting custom glass and premium hardware on luxury homes east of the Intracoastal.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Sliding & Patio Doors - Boca Raton and folding door systems have become the standard for Boca Raton homes that open onto a pool deck or patio. These are heavy units, and in a wind-borne debris region they need to be anchored and sealed to a level the average handyman will not touch. A quality impact-rated bifold system in Boca Raton, installed with proper flashing and header reinforcement, runs $9,000 to $22,000 depending on panel count and glass package. We handle the engineering letter and the permit, and we do not leave until the panels fold clean and lock tight.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are showing up on more Boca Raton remodels and new builds, especially in the modern and transitional homes going up west of 441 and along the Intracoastal. A pivot door is a structural system, not just a slab on hinges, and the weight of an impact-rated pivot unit means the header and floor hardware have to be sized correctly or the door will sag. We install pivot doors with the framing work done right, not patched. Expect $7,500 to $18,000 for a true impact-rated pivot entry, installed and permitted.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We are an authorized installer for PGT, Cgi in Boca Raton, and Ply Gem, three of the brands Boca Raton’s ARC committees and building inspectors know well. PGT and CGI are built in Florida and engineered specifically for Palm Beach County’s wind zone. Ply Gem offers a strong mid-range line for homeowners who need a solid impact door without the premium price of custom glass. We stock common hardware and threshold parts for these lines locally, which means a follow-up adjustment in Boca Raton is usually a single visit, not a two-week parts wait. We quote each manufacturer side by side on paper so you can compare glass packages, sound ratings, and finish options line by line.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- ARC rejection for frame color or hardware style. In communities like Boca West and Broken Sound, a satin nickel handle where the ARC requires oil-rubbed bronze will stall your permit for weeks. We check the community’s design standards before we quote, so your submittal matches what the committee will approve.
- Non-impact-rated doors sold as compliant. Some contractors quote a standard door at a lower price, then the inspector rejects it because it fails the wind-borne debris test. A cheap quote that does not meet code is a change order waiting to happen, and it can trigger an insurance non-renewal on a home that cannot document compliant openings.
- Salt-air corrosion on coastal hardware. East of I-95, the Atlantic air eats standard aluminum and cheap hardware fast. We have pulled corroded handles and hinges off doors that were installed less than five years prior. We spec marine-grade hardware on coastal Boca Raton installations, not the same hardware a contractor would install inland.
- Rotted jambs hidden behind old flashing. On Arvida-era homes with original doors, the jamb has often been absorbing humidity for thirty years. You do not see it until the old door comes out, and then the choice is patch it or replace it. We inspect and quote the full scope before we start, so the fix is in the line item, not discovered mid-job.

FAQs - Door Installation in Boca Raton
Yes, in nearly every gated or covenant-controlled community in Boca Raton, including Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, and Boca Pointe, your Architectural Review Committee must sign off before Palm Beach County will issue a building permit for a door replacement. The ARC reviews frame color, glass type, hardware finish, and profile style against the community’s design standards. We prepare and submit the ARC package for you, with manufacturer specs and finish samples attached. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will tell you what your specific community’s committee requires before you spend money on a door.
All replacement exterior doors in Boca Raton must meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements, which are part of the Florida Building Code. That means the door assembly, including the frame, glazing, and hardware, must be impact-rated or paired with an approved shutter or panel system. A door that is just “hurricane-rated” without documented impact compliance will not pass inspection and will not satisfy your insurance carrier’s documentation requirements. We quote Energy-Efficient Windows - Boca Raton impact-rated doors from PGT, CGI, and other Florida-engineered lines, and we register the compliance paperwork in writing.
Yes, and you should. Original jalousie or louvered-glass doors from the Arvida-era are categorically prohibited as replacement products under current Florida Building Code wind standards, so any replacement must be an impact-rated unit. The complication in some Boca Raton communities is that the ARC’s design guidelines still call for the vintage Florida-ranch aesthetic, which a standard modern door does not match. We have sourced impact-rated profiles and finishes that satisfy both the building inspector and the committee in the same submittal. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will show you what works for your specific community.
Impact rating addresses wind pressure and debris resistance. Flashing tape addresses water infiltration, which is the slow killer of a door installation in coastal humidity. Without proper flashing at the sill and jambs, wind-driven rain gets behind the frame, rots the jamb, and voids the manufacturer’s warranty. In Boca Raton’s east-of-I-95 corridor, salt air accelerates the corrosion when moisture gets trapped. We install flashing tape and sill pan on every exterior door, impact-rated or not, because we have pulled apart too many rotted jambs that looked fine from the outside.
Insurance carriers in Florida are non-renewing policies on homes that cannot document impact-rated openings, and Boca Raton’s high-value homes are among the first affected. A compliant door with the manufacturer’s impact documentation, the county permit record, and the final inspection on file gives your carrier what it needs to keep the policy in force, and in some cases it qualifies for a wind mitigation credit. We register both warranty layers in writing and provide a documentation packet you can file with your insurer. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we will walk you through exactly what documentation your carrier needs for a door replacement claim of compliance.
If you are ready to replace a door in Boca Raton, or if you want a straight answer about what your property needs to pass ARC review and county inspection, call (954) 280-4413. A live person will answer. We will schedule a free estimate, measure the opening, and put the numbers on paper. Done right, the first time, with every warranty registered before the truck leaves your driveway.
