AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Edgewood
Door installation in Edgewood runs between $1,100 and $6,400 for most single-door replacements, depending on the frame condition and whether Edgewood’s inspector requires reframing once we open the wall. Most jobs take one to two days on site, with permit approval from Edgewood’s city hall typically adding anywhere from three to ten business days before we can schedule the install. We work in Edgewood every week, and our crews know the difference between a clean 1960s CBS opening and one that’s going to need a new lintel. Call (954) 280-4413 to talk through your door and get a written line-item estimate before any work begins.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been pulling original aluminum jalousie doors out of Edgewood’s mid-century ranch homes long enough to know what hides behind the old jamb. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies just as squarely to a front entry door in Edgewood as it does to a storefront in downtown Orlando. Homeowners here keep calling us back because we do the permit work ourselves, write both warranty layers into the contract, and stand behind the install with our Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights. No arguing about whose fault the gap is.
Edgewood’s building department inspects every door replacement inside city limits, and we’ve sat through enough of those inspections to know exactly what gets flagged. Undersized lintels. Missing flashing tape. Rough openings that haven’t been square since Eisenhower. We write those fixes into the estimate before the inspector ever sees the opening, which saves Edgewood homeowners the gut-punch of a mid-job surprise. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and when you call about an Door Installation question, you get someone who knows this trade, not a call center reading a script.
Our Door Installation Services in Edgewood
Entry & Swing Doors
Most homes in Edgewood were built with a single front door and a back door off the kitchen, and after sixty years both of them usually need more than new hardware. The original thresholds on these doors have no thermal break, which is why they sweat, corrode, and bind against the slab in summer. We install fiberglass and steel entry doors with composite jambs, sill pans, and weatherstripping sized for the Florida humidity, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Double & French Doors
Double doors in Edgewood’s CBS construction create a wider opening, which means a wider lintel requirement under current Florida Building Code wind-load tables. We’ve seen too many original double openings where the header above the doors was never engineered for the span, and the Edgewood inspector will flag it every time. Our crews install fusion-welded French door units with impact-rated glazing when required, and we handle the reframing and permit documentation as part of the same job.
Storm Doors
Edgewood sits inland, but Orange County’s adopted Florida Building Code still requires wind-load ratings that original 1950s and 1960s doors simply don’t meet. A properly set storm door does double duty here: it protects the primary door from UV and driving rain, and it gives these older CBS ranches an extra layer of weather sealing we can count on when a tropical system swings through. We install storm doors that actually close square, latch without lifting, and drain water away from the slab instead of into it.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Some Edgewood homeowners are done with a single swinging door and want the entire wall opened up to a patio or lanai. Bifold and folding door systems are a bigger structural conversation on CBS construction, because the load that used to sit on a four-foot header now spans ten or twelve feet. We engineer those openings properly, pull the permit through Edgewood’s city hall, and install the track and panel system so it operates one-handed even in high humidity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edgewood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Edgewood homes we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. PGT and CGI build impact-rated units that hold up to the wind-load requirements Edgewood’s inspector verifies on every permit, and Ply Gem offers solid entry door options where impact rating isn’t required but weather sealing is. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the exact unit, the exact glass package, and the exact warranty duration before you spend a dime. No surprise upcharges on the bill.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- No sill pan under the original door. Mid-century CBS construction often skipped flashing under the threshold, so water wicks into the slab and rots the subfloor before the jamb ever shows damage. By the time the door binds or the tile cracks at the entry, the opening usually needs more than a slab swap.
- Undersized lintels over wider openings. Edgewood’s inspectors routinely flag original headers over double doors and sliding door conversions because they don’t meet current wind-load span tables. This is a code-triggered upgrade, not an optional add-on, and we write it into the estimate before cutting.
- Aluminum threshold corrosion. The original aluminum thresholds on these 1950s to 1970s ranch houses have no thermal break, so Edgewood’s year-round humidity makes them sweat and corrode under a door that’s functioned since the Nixon administration. The corrosion allows water and insects in at the exact point the door should seal.
- Jalousie doors with zero insulating value. Edgewood still has original jalousie entries on some back lanai openings, and they offer virtually no energy efficiency or hurricane resistance. Replacing one with a properly sealed impact-rated door changes the comfort level of the whole room.
Pricing for Door Installation in Edgewood, FL
A standard single entry door replacement in Edgewood, including a fiberglass slab, primed composite jamb, new threshold, hardware, and permit paperwork, typically runs $1,800 to $3,600. Add an impact-rated unit, and that same opening runs $3,200 to $6,400. A double or French door system on a CBS opening that needs a new lintel and reframing lands between $4,200 and $9,500 depending on the span and whether you’re holding to a PGT or CGI impact package. A storm door install runs $650 to $1,500 on an existing opening that’s square and sealed. We give free written estimates with line items for materials, labor, permit, and any code-triggered structural work, so you know the real number before the first cut.

FAQs - Door Installation in Edgewood
Edgewood is its own incorporated city with its own building department, permit queue, and inspection schedule. A door replacement inside Edgewood’s half-square-mile boundary goes through Edgewood city hall, not Orange County and not the City of Orlando. The same job on the other side of Orange Avenue might clear in three days while Edgewood’s queue takes seven, which is why we pull the permit first and schedule the install once the inspection date is locked.
Edgewood’s inspector will look for a sill pan and flashing tape, a lintel that spans the opening per current wind-load tables, and a door assembly that meets the Florida Building Code’s SHGC thresholds for solar heat gain. Original mid-century openings often lack all three. We write those upgrades into the estimate before we pull the permit, so there’s no change order waiting for you after the old jamb comes out.
Edgewood sits inland and faces lower wind speeds than coastal Orange County, but the adopted Florida Building Code still sets wind-load requirements that most original 1960s aluminum doors can’t meet. Impact-rated doors are not always mandated outside the wind-borne debris zone, but the structural upgrade to the opening often is. We quote impact and non-impact packages side by side so you can see the cost difference and decide with real numbers.
That fogging is a failed seal, common in Edgewood’s original aluminum jalousie and single-pane sliders because the sealant breaks down under Central Florida’s UV radiation and humidity. Once the seal fails, the insulating value drops to nearly zero and the glass starts collecting condensation. Replacing the door with a fusion-welded frame and a proper argon fill, installed to the Edgewood permit standard, eliminates the problem permanently rather than masking it.
In many Edgewood homes, the slab itself can be replaced if the rough opening is still square, the sill is sound, and the existing lintel meets current span tables. If the inspector finds an undersized header or a rotted sill behind the jamb, reframing becomes a code requirement regardless of what you wanted to spend. We inspect the opening during the estimate so you know which scenario you’re in before a single cut is made. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free assessment of your door opening.
