Door installation in Lighthouse Point runs $1,200-$4,800 for most entry and replacement doors, with hurricane-rated front doors typically landing between $2,500 and $5,500 installed. The job usually takes one day once your door arrives, and we handle the permit, the staging, and the neighbor notifications before the first screw goes in. Call Ed Winslow’s team at (561) 816-5648 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote, no trip charge inside the home county.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been doing this since 2011. We know Lighthouse Point’s canal-grid streets, its 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, and the salt air that corrodes ordinary door hardware within a season. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. No call center. No voicemail loop. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We work on tight Lighthouse Point lots every week. That’s the difference. A door install on NE 28th Street or along the canals off Sample Road isn’t the same as one on a half-acre lot in a planned subdivision. There’s a swale to stage on, a neighbor 12 feet away, and a canal 30 feet behind the house. Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to keep a constrained site clean. We notify adjacent homeowners before hammer drill time, and we finish before the afternoon breeze kicks up.
Local homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they want a company that picks up the phone and shows up when promised. Everyone on our team answers to Ed Winslow personally. We hold a published address and license number, and we carry insurance and bonding on every job. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every installation: if it’s not done right, we make it right, period. That’s a century-long standard of accountability no national chain can touch.
We’re also authorized installers for PGT, Therma-Tru, and Mr-Glass, which means your warranty paperwork is valid and the products aren’t gray-market. Lighthouse Point homeowners who have been burned by vague estimates or no-show crews before tell us they finally stopped shopping after the first call. You will too. Reach us at (561) 816-5648.
Our Door Installation Services in Lighthouse Point
Door installation in Lighthouse Point covers a lot of ground. Here’s what we do most often in this zip code:
Entry Doors
Most Lighthouse Point ranch homes still have their original solid-core wood or aluminum entry doors. After 50 or 60 years of salt air and afternoon storms, thresholds rust, jambs pull away from the concrete block, and seals fail. We replace them with fiberglass or steel systems that handle the marine environment. A typical entry door replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $1,500-$3,200 installed depending on sidelights and hardware.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Every canal-side home in Lighthouse Point sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means any new front door or entry system must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. We install impact-rated Therma-Tru and PGT entry systems that meet the wind zone requirements for openings within 30 feet of grade. These are the doors that protect your home when a storm pushes water up the Intracoastal. Expect $2,800-$5,500 installed for a fully compliant hurricane-rated front entry door in Lighthouse Point.
French & Double Doors
French doors are common on Lighthouse Point canal-side homes, especially where the patio or lanai faces the water. The challenge here is double: impact glazing and corrosion-resistant hardware. We install French and double door systems with stainless fasteners at every hinge, threshold, and jamb connection. On zero-lot-line homes, we stage components in the front swale and work from inside the property so the neighbor’s wall never gets touched. A standard French door replacement in Lighthouse Point ranges from $3,000-$6,500 installed.
Replacement Doors
If your existing door is structurally sound but the hardware, threshold, or weatherstripping has given up to the salt air, we can often replace the door slab and re-hang it in a day. That’s the fastest legal fix for a corroded jamb on a 1960s ranch without opening the stucco. Replacement door costs in Lighthouse Point typically run $1,200-$2,800 depending on material and whether the frame needs repair.
Every job includes a written line-item quote before work starts. Fixed pricing. No change orders. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule your free estimate. You can also see how our Door Installation team handles projects across South Florida.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We’re factory-authorized installers for three brands that matter in a salt-air, hurricane-wind market: Therma-Tru for fiberglass entry systems, PGT for impact-rated doors and windows, and Mr-Glass for custom glass inserts and sidelights. Because we install these brands daily, we keep common parts and hardware stocked locally for Lighthouse Point customers. That means faster turnaround when a threshold plate or hinge fails after a storm. We also service and warrant existing Therma-Tru and PGT installations, even ones we didn’t originally install.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-driven electrolysis at the threshold. Standard galvanized screws rust within a season when a door sits 30 feet from brackish canal water. We use stainless or marine-grade fasteners on every install, not just on the hinges.
- Jambs separating from concrete block due to salt wicking. On 1950s and 1960s ranches, moisture creeps up through the slab and corrodes the anchor points. We rebuild the jamb connection before hanging the new door.
- Non-HVHZ-rated doors flagged at insurance renewal. Insurers now routinely reject policies on canal-side homes with non-impact doors. A flagged door forces a full re-permit and replacement, which costs more than doing it right the first time.
- Noise complaints on tight lots. Lighthouse Point’s 7 a.m. noise ordinance means hammer drills before 8 a.m. get immediate code complaints from neighbors 15 feet away. We schedule loud work for mid-morning and notify adjacent homes first.
Pricing for Door Installation in Lighthouse Point, FL
Here’s an honest look at what door work costs in Lighthouse Point:
- Entry door replacement: $1,500-$3,200 installed
- Hurricane-rated front entry door: $2,800-$5,500 installed
- French or double door system: $3,000-$6,500 installed
- Door slab replacement with existing frame: $1,200-$2,800 installed
- Threshold and jamb corrosion repair: $400-$1,200
What moves the price in Lighthouse Point? Opening count, whether the door is on a canal side, floor height above grade, and whether the existing frame needs rebuilding. A zero-lot-line French door install will cost more than a standard front entry replacement because access is tighter and staging takes longer. Every quote is free, in-home, and written. No trip charge inside the home county. Call (561) 816-5648.
What Door Installation Costs in Lighthouse Point
For a broader comparison, impact windows in Lighthouse Point generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hung units between $900-$1,800. Large or custom openings, like a full wall of canal-facing glass, land in the $2,500-$5,000 range. Whole-home packages that include doors and windows start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 depending on the opening count and wind zone requirements. Door-only jobs sit lower than window packages because there’s less glass area, but the corrosion-fighting hardware adds modest cost on canal-side properties. We’ll give you a free in-home measure and a written quote before any work begins.
One comparison worth making: impact windows and doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if you’re home to hang them, and they do nothing for daily UV, noise, or salt-air corrosion. Impact-rated doors are permanent, always in place, and qualify for the same insurance credits. We never install shutters, but we’ll explain the difference honestly if you’re weighing both options.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack in Lighthouse Point, and they’re worth understanding before you budget. My Safe Florida Home matching grants now offer up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated entry doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150, many Lighthouse Point homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy.
We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve. Programs and insurers set the final numbers. But we’ll give you the paperwork you need: the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number for your specific door configuration, matched to the design pressure of your opening. In Lighthouse Point’s wind zone, design pressures never exceed a PSF rating of +/-100, but the wind speed ratings that matter for insurance are the 140-170 mph zones. We match the product to your opening, not the other way around.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lighthouse Point
Yes. Lighthouse Point requires a permit for any door replacement on a canal-side home, especially when the opening is being altered or the product is HVHZ-rated and needs a Notice of Acceptance on record. We pull the permit, we pass the inspection, and you won’t chase paperwork. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll confirm what your specific project needs.
In Lighthouse Point’s interior canal grid, virtually every door sits within 30 feet of brackish water, which means stainless or marine-grade fasteners are required on every threshold, hinge, and jamb connection. The salt-laden air from both the Intracoastal and the interior canals attacks galvanized steel year-round. We default to stainless on every Lighthouse Point install, so you don’t have to think about it.
In many cases, yes. After a wind-mitigation inspection, an impact-rated front door with the proper Florida Product Approval number often triggers a windstorm-premium credit on the windstorm portion of the policy. The credit amount is set by your carrier, not by us, and inspections typically run $75-$150. We provide the documentation your inspector or insurer needs.
Yes. We stage components on the front swale or inside the property, and we work from the interior side so the neighbor’s wall is never touched. On zero-lot-line Lighthouse Point homes, we also notify adjacent homeowners before any hammer drill time, which keeps the code complaints away and the neighbors onside.
The fastest legal fix is a door slab replacement with jamb repair from the interior side. We remove the old slab, repair the jamb connection to the concrete block with stainless anchors, and re-hang the new door, all without opening the exterior stucco. Most jobs finish in a single day once your door arrives. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact timeline.
Working on a Tight Lighthouse Point Lot: Staging, Noise, and the Permit
Lighthouse Point’s interior canal-grid streets are unlike neighboring coastal cities. Nearly every home sits within 30 feet of brackish water, which means the salt air attacks door hardware from two directions: the Atlantic breeze and the canal behind the house. That’s why we use stainless or marine-grade fasteners on every install, not just impact glazing. The threshold, the jamb anchors, the hinge screws, the strike plate, all of it gets upgraded. Standard galvanized screws rust within one season this close to the water.
Staging a door install on a tight Lighthouse Point lot means using the front swale as a work area without blocking the street or the neighbor’s driveway. We keep tools on a drop cloth, we sweep the walkway before we leave, and we coordinate with adjacent homeowners when hammer drill time is scheduled. The city’s noise ordinance starts at 7 a.m., but we hold loud work until after 8 a.m. on homes where a neighbor’s bedroom window is 15 feet away. That’s not a suggestion. That’s how you keep a clean record with code enforcement on a zero-lot-line street.
And permits. Every door replacement on a canal-side home in Lighthouse Point requires a permit, and the city reviews each application for HVHZ compliance. We handle the application, the product approval documentation, and the inspection. You won’t chase paperwork. We also stage the new door inside the garage or on a padded trailer so it never sits in the swale overnight.
On a split-level ranch off NE 28th Street, our techs replaced a corroded original jalousie entry door with a Therma-Tru fiberglass system after finding the jamb had separated from the concrete block due to salt wicking. We staged the new door and tools on the narrow swale, notified both adjacent homeowners about the two-hour hammer drill time, and kept the walkway broom-clean, finishing before the afternoon canal breeze kicked up. That’s the standard on every Lighthouse Point job.
