The real question in Jupiter is whether the opening behind your old door is sound enough to accept a new one. We’ve pulled enough doors in Admirals Cove, Abacoa, and the Intracoastal corridor to know the answer is not always yes. Salt air from the Jupiter Inlet works on aluminum frames and wood jambs for decades. When the old unit comes out, what’s left sometimes needs rebuilding before anything new goes in. Our crews plan for that reality from the first measurement.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Jupiter’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, but the craft behind it runs back many years in the trade. We’re not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be standing in Jupiter thirty years from now.
Jupiter homeowners tend to notice the same things: background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice. Written quotes with manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Both warranty layers registered before our truck leaves your driveway. And a Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
Dale’s founding rule hangs over every install we do along PGA Boulevard, Indiantown Road, and the Loxahatchee River: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to a door’s slab, its jamb, its hinge alignment, and the opening behind it.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day because a door that will not close or lock is not something to leave for Monday. A live person takes your call, every time.
Our Door Installation Services in Jupiter
We are a full Door Installation contractor serving Jupiter, not a retailer that sub-contracts the work out. Our own crews handle everything from a single entry slab to a multi-opening French door wall on a waterfront lot.
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door in Jupiter does two jobs: it has to hold up to coastal wind loads and it has to seal tight against humidity that never quits. We set pre-hung units level even when the existing floor has settled, shim precisely at the hinges, and flash the rough opening so salt-driven rain cannot work its way behind the jamb. In older concrete-block ranch homes near the inlet, we commonly upgrade to impact-rated slabs carrying a Florida Building Code notice of acceptance number.
Double & French Doors
French doors in Jupiter often open onto a patio or pool cage and take direct exposure from the Intracoastal breeze. The original 1980s units we remove are usually single-pane with pitted aluminum frames and failed seals. We install manufacturer lines like Marvin and PGT with composite or aluminum-clad frames that will not corrode the same way. The measurement matters here more than anywhere else: two slabs have to meet dead-center at the astragal and strike plate or they will bind by July.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold door systems on Jupiter’s newer Abacoa builds separate living rooms from lanai space. The hardware carries the entire solar and wind load, so we set the track with real attention to level and anchor every bracket into the framing, not just drywall. When a homeowner wants a wider opening than the original builder framed, we price the header upgrade before the first panel ships.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors show up on modern Jupiter estates along the Loxahatchee and in newer waterfront developments. A pivot slab can weigh 300 pounds or more. The pivot hinge and floor-closer assembly carry all of it. We set the rough opening to manufacturer spec to the fraction of an inch, because a pivot door that drags across its threshold is not something anyone wants to live with.

Trusted Brands We Service in Jupiter
We install doors from CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines we’re authorized to carry. What matters for Jupiter customers is that we quote these side by side on paper, with durations for both warranty layers written in ink before any deposit changes hands. If a manufacturer line suits the opening but the lead time is long, we’ll tell you. If a different line gets you the same impact rating for less money, we’ll tell you that too. Then you decide.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Jupiter Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames disintegrating at the jamb. Jupiter Inlet salt air pits 1980s aluminum slider frames so badly that when we pull the old door, the jamb comes apart in chunks. The fix is full rough-opening reframing before the new impact unit goes in.
- Undersized 1980s headers sagging under coastal wind loads. Many Jupiter homes built during the 1980s growth boom have headers that met code then but not now. A new impact door makes that sag visible by binding or racking. During a permit-triggered inspection, the header often has to be upsized.
- Failed waterproofing at sill pans on Intracoastal-facing walls. Saltwater intrusion rots the framing hidden behind a wall long before any visible sign shows on the interior. We see it most on east-facing elevations along the Intracoastal and Jupiter Inlet.
- Original jalousie or single-pane slider openings too shallow for modern impact doors. Pre-1990 Jupiter ranch homes frequently have shallow rough openings framed for thin aluminum units. Today’s impact-rated doors need a deeper pocket and full perimeter anchorage, which means modifying the opening itself.
Pricing for Door Installation in Jupiter, FL
Entry door installation in Jupiter typically runs $1,200 to $3,000 for a standard pre-hung unit, depending on whether impact glass is required and whether the existing opening is sound. A French door pair runs $3,000 to $6,500 installed. Pivot doors start around $4,000 and can exceed $8,400 on high-end estate work with a custom slab and specialty hardware. If we pull the old door and find the rough opening needs reframing, that adds $400 to $1,200 depending on the scope of the framing repair and the wall material.
What pushes a Jupiter door price up is not markup. It is what coastal code and forty years of salt air do to the house. We write allowances for likely reframing into the contract up front, and any surprise gets priced and approved by you in writing before we touch it. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free written estimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Jupiter
Because decades of Inlet salt air corrode aluminum frames at the jamb until they crumble when pulled, and the wood behind them has often rotted from years of salt-driven moisture. On a retrofit in Admirals Cove, our crew removed a corroded set of aluminum sliders to find the jamb had rotted clear through. We reframed the entire rough opening to spec, set a new impact-rated Marvin door with fusion-welded frame and flashing tape, and passed the required high-velocity wind-load inspection before the homeowner’s remodel could move forward. That kind of scope add is routine for Jupiter’s waterfront corridor. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will inspect the opening before you sign anything.
Yes. Jupiter sits in a 160+ mph design wind zone under Florida Building Code wind-speed maps, so any permitted door replacement triggers high-velocity wind-load inspection requirements. An undersized 1980s header that would pass unnoticed in an inland neighborhood gets flagged here because it has to carry the uplift and lateral loads of an impact-rated door. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the work when it passes.
For any replacement door in Jupiter, the Florida Building Code effectively requires an impact-rated or approved wind-mitigation system regardless of distance from the Intracoastal. Even homes in western Jupiter neighborhoods near I-95 and the Turnpike fall under wind-load provisions that apply to the whole coastal Palm Beach County area. We will quote compliant options at your first estimate.
We write allowances into the contract before we ever cut the old door out. If the jamb, header, or sill pan needs work we did not anticipate, you get a written price and your approval before we proceed. We never present a surprise line item on a final bill. That is part of The Keystone Standard and the Done Right Promise, both in writing.
In Admirals Cove, the Intracoastal corridor, and along the Loxahatchee, we install a lot of CGI and CWS impact-rated doors because their product lines match the coastal wind-load requirements and hold up to salt air better than standard aluminum. ES Windows appears more often on modern custom homes with large pivot or sliding panels. We quote each project’s options side by side on paper so you can compare warranty durations, glass packages, and lead times directly.
