AfterEntry Doors in Boca Raton, FL
Our Door Installation services in Boca Raton typically run between $800 and $4,500 installed, depending on the door material, impact rating, and hardware. Most jobs are completed in a single day, and we carry Therma-Tru and PGT doors that meet Florida’s strict wind-load and impact requirements without sacrificing curb appeal.
Your front door is the first thing a visitor sees and the first line of defense against Boca Raton’s hurricane season. If it’s warped from humidity, failing its seal, or simply dated, a new entry door does more than look better – it tightens your home’s envelope, can lower your insurance premium, and passes Florida Building Code inspection without the drama. At Winslow Windows & Doors, Ed Winslow has personally overseen entry door projects across East Boca, Boca del Mar, Broken Sound, and the barrier island communities since 2011. Ed’s name is on every job we do, and that accountability doesn’t stop when the truck pulls away.

When You Need a New Entry Door in Boca Raton
Not every entry door problem announces itself loudly. Here are the situations we hear about most often from Boca Raton homeowners – and each one is worth taking seriously.
- Your door no longer closes flush or latches smoothly. Boca Raton’s humidity swells wood doors and corrodes steel frames over time. If you’re lifting and pushing to latch, the door has shifted and the seal is probably compromised too.
- You see daylight around the frame. Air gaps around an entry door in South Florida mean you’re paying to cool the outside. A failed perimeter seal drives up your FPL bill every month it goes unaddressed.
- Your door is not impact-rated and hurricane season is approaching. Unrated doors in Boca Raton neighborhoods like Woodfield Country Club or Camino Gardens leave you relying on storm shutters alone – which is a risk your insurance carrier may already be pricing into your premium.
- The door is visibly weathered, cracked, or faded. Fiberglass and steel doors in direct south or west exposures fade faster here than inland. A door that looks neglected can affect your home’s appraisal value in a competitive Boca Raton market.
- You’re preparing for a sale or renovation. Real estate agents consistently rank the front door as one of the highest-return exterior upgrades. Replacing an outdated door before listing in communities like Boca West or Mizner Park-adjacent neighborhoods often pays for itself.
- You had a break-in or attempted forced entry. A damaged door frame or compromised lock set needs professional assessment before a new door goes in – framing damage is often hidden and must be addressed for the replacement to hold properly. We inspect the full rough opening before we ever order a door.
Our Entry Door Installation Process in Boca Raton
We don’t show up with a door and figure it out as we go. Every entry door installation at Winslow Windows & Doors follows a defined sequence so nothing gets skipped and you’re not surprised at any step.
- Free on-site measurement and assessment. Ed or one of our background-checked technicians visits your home, measures the rough opening precisely, inspects the existing frame for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues, and reviews your HOA’s aesthetic requirements if applicable. Boca Raton has active HOAs – we know what Broken Sound, Boca Pointe, and similar communities typically require in terms of door color and style, and we flag any potential approval issues before you spend a dollar.
- Door selection and upfront quote. We walk you through the right product for your opening, budget, and impact requirements. For impact-rated doors, we regularly install Therma-Tru and PGT units that carry the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) required under the Florida Building Code. You’ll see the full price before we order anything – upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
- Permit pull (when required). Entry door replacements in Boca Raton that involve structural changes or new openings typically require a City of Boca Raton building permit. We handle the permit application. You don’t chase paper at City Hall. Same-for-same replacements in a matching rough opening are often permit-exempt, and we’ll confirm your specific situation during the assessment.
- Removal and frame inspection. On installation day, we remove the old door and door unit carefully – without damaging adjacent drywall or exterior trim unnecessarily. We inspect the rough opening again with the old unit out, checking for moisture infiltration or framing issues that weren’t visible from the outside. If we find something, we tell you before we proceed, not after.
- Installation, sealing, and hardware set. The new door unit goes in level and plumb, shimmed properly, with flashing tape and weatherstripping applied to Florida Building Code standards. We install your chosen hardware – deadbolt, handleset, or multi-point locking system – and test every component before we touch the trim.
- Final inspection and walkthrough. We walk you through the completed installation, demonstrate the locking system, confirm the door’s operation, and leave the job site clean. If a permit was pulled, we schedule the city inspection and make sure it passes. Our 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the work: if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right – full stop.
Entry Door Pricing in Boca Raton
Entry door costs in Boca Raton vary more than most homeowners expect, mainly because the range of products is wide and South Florida’s impact requirements add real cost to the base door price. Here’s an honest breakdown of what you can expect.
| Door Type | Typical Installed Range (Boca Raton) |
|---|---|
| Fiberglass single door, non-impact | $800 – $1,600 |
| Fiberglass single door, impact-rated | $1,400 – $2,800 |
| Steel single door, impact-rated | $1,200 – $2,400 |
| Fiberglass double door (French entry), impact-rated | $2,800 – $4,500 |
| Door with sidelites, impact-rated | $2,200 – $4,200 |
| Frame repair or replacement (if needed) | $200 – $800 additional |
What pushes the price up: Impact glass in sidelites or decorative door lites adds cost but is required in many Boca Raton locations within the high-velocity hurricane zone. Wider openings, custom paint finishes, multi-point locking hardware, and decorative iron grille work are all variables. HOA-required specific colors or panel styles can narrow your product choices.
What keeps it reasonable: Choosing a standard door size avoids custom-order lead times and cost. Therma-Tru fiberglass doors, for example, offer excellent impact performance with realistic wood-grain finishes at mid-range price points – and they don’t swell, rot, or need repainting the way wood does in South Florida’s climate.
Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on all work – no expiration date, no fine print. For any repair component over $200, there’s a $40 discount applied automatically. And we’ll beat or meet any written estimate with a free second opinion.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors for Entry Doors in Boca Raton
There’s no shortage of door installers in Palm Beach County. Here’s what’s different about working with us.
- Ed Winslow is a real local owner, not a regional manager. He’s been in Boca Raton’s homes since 2011, and his license number and address are publicly listed. When you call with a problem six months after installation, Ed answers – not a call-center representative reading from a script.
- We know Boca Raton’s specific requirements. The City of Boca Raton sits partially in Palm Beach County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every impact door we install carries the Notice of Acceptance required under Florida Building Code Chapter 16, and we pull permits correctly the first time.
- Authorized installer for brands that matter here. Therma-Tru and PGT are built for South Florida’s conditions – not generic national products that weren’t designed with a Category 4 storm in mind. We install them because they hold up, not because they’re the easiest to stock.
- The 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s 100 years, calculated out. No national chain will make that commitment. We will, because Ed’s name is on the business and every job we do.
- Background-checked technicians, every time. You’ll know who’s coming before the truck arrives. Uniformed, verified, professional – in your home or at your front door.
- A live person answers at any hour. If something goes wrong with a recently installed door at 11 p.m. before a storm, you’re not leaving a voicemail and hoping for a callback by morning.
We work across Boca Raton – from Boca del Mar and Mission Bay to the gated communities along Glades Road and the oceanfront condos on A1A. If your front door needs attention, we can get someone to your address for a look.
FAQs – Entry Doors in Boca Raton
Does my new entry door need to be impact-rated in Boca Raton?
Most single-family homes in Boca Raton require Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors or an approved shutter system when replacing an entry door – the city falls within Palm Beach County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone designation for most of its footprint. During our assessment, we confirm the specific code requirements for your address and property type. If you’re in a community that accepts accordion shutters as an alternative, we’ll lay out both options so you can make an informed call. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll check your address before you commit to anything.
How long does entry door installation take?
A standard single entry door replacement in Boca Raton is typically a one-day job – removal, installation, hardware set, and cleanup done in four to six hours for a straightforward opening. French & Double Doors with sidelites or jobs requiring frame repair may take a full day or run into a second morning. We give you a realistic timeline during the quote, not an optimistic one.
Is it cheaper to repair my existing door or replace it?
Repair is the right answer when the door itself is structurally sound and the problem is limited to weatherstripping, hardware, or a minor frame issue. Replacement Doors make more sense when the door is not impact-rated (a real liability in Boca Raton), when the frame has moisture damage, or when the door has shifted to the point where it can’t seal properly. We assess both options honestly and tell you which one actually solves the problem long-term – not the one that’s a bigger ticket. Repairs over $200 also qualify for our $40 off discount, so we’re not pushing a replacement to pad the bill.
Do you handle permits for entry door installation in Boca Raton?
Yes. When a permit is required – typically for structural changes or when the city’s records show the existing door is not code-compliant – we handle the permit application with the City of Boca Raton Building Department. We schedule the inspection and make sure the installation passes before we consider the job closed. You don’t need to manage any part of that process. Like-for-like replacements in the same rough opening are often permit-exempt, and we’ll confirm your specific situation at no charge during the assessment.
