Door Installation in Conway, FL: What It Costs and What the Code Requires
Door installation in Conway typically runs $900-$3,400 depending on whether you need a basic slab swap or a full-frame tear-out with Impact Windows & Doors in Conway. Most Conway homes built between 1955 and 1980 have non-standard rough openings, so pocket replacements often fail and full-frame work is the standard job here. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been doing exactly this work across Conway’s lake-adjacent neighborhoods for years. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with line-item pricing in writing.
Conway sits in Orange County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region. That matters more than most homeowners realize until an inspection fails or an insurance adjuster asks for documentation. We’ll walk through what that means for your project below.
Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Conway
If you live off Hoffner Avenue, around Lake Conway, or in the older blocks near Curry Ford Road, you already know the challenge: your house was built well, but it was built to older standards. We serve Conway with crews who understand mid-century concrete-block construction, jalousie remnants, and the humidity that comes off the Conway chain of lakes. When you call us, you get a live person on the phone, not a voicemail tree. We schedule Conway work promptly, show up uniformed and on time, and measure every opening twice before we order anything.
Door installation here is not a generic swap. The Door Installation team at TruePane has replaced hundreds of doors in this neighborhood, and we’ve learned what holds up and what doesn’t within five years of lake humidity.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Conway’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008 on a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. That’s why every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.
Conway homeowners call us because we don’t sell a door and vanish. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and hand you documentation that your insurance company actually accepts. We’ve worked on homes near Lake Gatlin, off Dixie Belle Drive, and throughout the 32806 and 32812 zip codes. When a 1960s ranch off Anderson Street needed a new front entry that would pass Orange County’s wind-load inspection, we handled the permit, the full-frame tear-out, and the final sign-off without the homeowner chasing a single paper.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to treat your home the way they’d treat their own mother’s. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, because a door that won’t latch at 8pm on a Saturday is our problem too.
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying, and what each one costs. No mystery numbers on the final bill.
Our Door Installation Services in Conway
Entry & Swing Doors
Energy-Efficient Windows in Conway and entry doors alike deal with two persistent forces: lake-driven humidity and afternoon sun exposure on west-facing front entries along the Conway chain of lakes corridor. A solid wood door that looks beautiful in a showroom will swell and bind within two summers here unless it’s properly sealed and hung. We install fiberglass and steel entry doors from PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, rated for the Florida Building Code requirements that Orange County enforces. A typical entry door installation in Conway runs $1,200-$3,200, depending on whether we’re doing a slab swap or a full-frame replacement.

Storm Doors
Storm doors make sense on Conway homes with older primary doors, especially on the lake side. A well-installed storm door blocks wind-driven rain in the summer and gives you an extra dead-air layer against humidity. But here’s what many contractors won’t tell you: a cheap storm door on a non-compliant rough opening still fails the wind-load path. We frame and flash the opening properly, then install a storm door that actually seals. Storm door installations in Conway generally run $500-$1,200.

Arched & Custom Doors
Conway’s 1960s ranch homes occasionally surprise you. Some of them have original arched front entries or half-round transoms that were custom-built and never matched a stock size. Big-box stores don’t carry what you need, and a rookie crew will try to square off the opening and ruin the character of the house. We measure, order, and install custom arched doors that fit the original opening. Expect $2,000-$4,500 for a true custom arched entry in Conway, depending on glass and impact rating.

Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are becoming more common in Conway remodels, particularly on homes being updated for resale or when a homeowner wants a modern entry on a mid-century frame. They’re heavy, hinge differently, and demand a level of frame precision that Sliding & Patio Doors - Conway or a standard hinged door does not. We’ve installed pivot doors on Conway homes where the old slab-on-grade foundation had settled a quarter inch over 60 years, which changes the reveal at the top. Fixing that properly is a full-frame job, not a shim job. Pivot door installations in Conway typically run $2,500-$5,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. That matters in Conway for two reasons. First, these manufacturers engineer specifically for Florida’s wind-load and impact requirements, so their products carry the documentation Orange County inspectors want to see. Second, because we install these lines regularly, we can get accurate lead times and parts for Conway customers instead of guessing. We quote you these brands side by side on paper, prices included, so you can compare impact ratings and cost without a sales pitch.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Non-standard rough openings. Conway’s 1950s-1970s ranch homes were often framed to dimensions that don’t match modern stock doors. A pocket replacement door on one of these openings leaves a half-inch gap at the jamb, which kills the air seal and breaks the wind-load path. The fix is a full-frame tear-out and new buck framing.
- Hollow-core doors still in service. We regularly replace original hollow-core back and side doors on Conway homes near Lake Gatlin and Lake Conway. They predate modern hurricane code, they offer almost no security, and they’re often swollen or warped from decades of humidity.
- Jalousie sidelights and transoms adjacent to doors. Many Conway homes still have jalousie units next to or above the entry door. You can’t make a jalousie comply with current wind-load or energy code with any retrofit. When we replace the door, we often replace the adjacent jalousie with an impact-rated casement or fixed unit.
- No permit or inspection record on prior work. Homes in Conway change hands with unpermitted door replacements more often than you’d think. The new owner finds out when an insurance audit or a resale inspection flags it. We pull the permit, pass the inspection, and give you the paperwork before we call the job done.

FAQs - Door Installation in Conway
A new exterior door on a Conway home must meet the Florida Building Code requirements for Orange County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, which generally means the door assembly needs a design pressure rating appropriate for your specific exposure category and either impact-resistant glazing or an approved protection system. The exact rating depends on your home’s location relative to the lake and the height and configuration of the structure. We determine the required rating during the estimate and specify a door that meets or exceeds it. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through your specific address.
Orange County requires a permit for any exterior door replacement that changes the rough opening or adds a new lintel, and for full-frame tear-outs. The inspection confirms the installation meets current wind-load and anchoring code. Skipping this leaves your home with undocumented work that can void the wind mitigation credit on your insurance policy and complicate a future resale. We pull the permit and meet the inspector on every qualifying job.
Technically yes, if the jalousie is not part of the door assembly and doesn’t affect the wind-load path. But in our experience on Conway homes, the jalousie units adjacent to entry doors are almost always original aluminum, oxidized from lake humidity, and already failing. Leaving them means you’ll be back in two years for the same conversation. We’ll give you the full picture on paper so you can decide with real numbers, not a sales pitch. Call (954) 280-4413 for an honest assessment.
A compliant quote includes the permit fee, the full-frame tear-out if needed, new pressure-treated buck framing, self-adhered flashing tape on the sill, an impact-rated or properly protected door assembly, and the final inspection sign-off. A cheap quote usually assumes a pocket install on whatever opening exists, which on a 1960s Conway ranch means a gap at the jamb, a failed air seal, and no documentation for your insurance company. The difference isn’t markup. It’s what actually gets done.
When your door replacement is permitted, inspected, and documented with a compliant impact-rated or protected system, your insurance company can apply the wind mitigation credit to your policy. Without the paperwork, that credit disappears, and in some cases an unpermitted install can complicate a future claim. We register both warranty layers in writing and hand you the permit and inspection documents on the same day the job is finished. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate and get the compliance details specific to your address.
