Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Boca Raton
Door installation in Boca Raton runs $1,800 to $6,500 for a typical impact-rated entry door, and most jobs are finished in a single day once your unit arrives from the manufacturer. That’s the honest range we quote homeowners every week, from Boca West to Woodfield Country Club. If you’re replacing a corroded single-pane door in an Arvida-built community, expect the architectural review to add two to four weeks before we can even pull the permit. We handle that paperwork for you, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Door Installation team has walked through more Boca Raton HOA submittal meetings than we can count. The difference between a door swap that takes three weeks and one that takes four months usually comes down to who files the variance and what they put in the packet. We know what the boards in Boca West, Broken Sound, and Woodfield ask for, because we’ve sat through their reviews.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’ve been installing doors in Palm Beach County for over 15 years, and Boca Raton presents a specific kind of challenge that nobody in a call center understands. This city’s planned-community homes, built by Arvida from the late 1960s through the 1990s, are governed by HOA boards that still enforce architectural specs written before impact glazing existed. A tech support rep in another state can’t tell you why your Boca West submittal got tabled. We can, and we fix it before it stalls your job.
Ed Winslow owns this company, answers to his own published address and license number, and stands behind every install with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Homeowners in Boca Raton call us because they’ve been burned by vague quotes or crews that disappear when the HOA pushes back. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they know the difference between a Miami-Dade NOA and a Florida Product Approval before they ring your bell.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops. If you’re on Glades Road at 2 a.m. wondering whether your front door will survive the next named storm, a real person picks up. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how we’ve run the business since 2011.
Our Door Installation Services in Boca Raton
Entry Doors
Entry door replacement in Boca Raton is never just about looks. Your current door is likely original to a CBS home built between 1965 and 1995, and it predates every impact-resistance mandate in the Florida Building Code. We remove the corroded aluminum frame, assess the rough opening, and install a Miami-Dade NOA-rated door matched to your community’s finish requirements. If your HOA wants bronze anodized and no current NOA product matches exactly, we file the variance before we touch the opening.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Boca Raton sits in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone with design wind speeds of 170 mph or higher on coastal parcels. A “hurricane-rated” door isn’t enough here; the unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the specific design pressure of your opening. We install PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru impact doors that meet Palm Beach County plan review, and we never sell a door that can’t pass the wind mitigation inspection your insurer will schedule after install.

French & Double Doors
French and double door sets in Boca Raton villas often fail at the astragal and sill first, because salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway eats aluminum hardware faster than inland builders expect. We handle full frame replacement, not just slab swaps, because a new impact-rated slab hung in a 1980s corroded frame won’t meet code and won’t hold a Miami-Dade NOA rating. Woodfield Country Club homeowners especially appreciate that we check the HOA’s finish specs before we order anything.

Replacement Doors
Replacement door work in Boca Raton means matching what your community’s architectural guidelines require, not just what the big-box store has in stock this week. We stock and order from authorized manufacturers including PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, and we handle the submittal packet, the board meeting, and the permit pull. Once the board approves and the unit lands, most single-door replacements are installed in as fast as a single day.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux, among others, which means we can pull Miami-Dade NOA documentation for your exact door configuration without a middleman. That matters in Boca Raton, where plan review rejects submissions that reference the wrong approval number. We keep local parts on hand for Palm Beach County’s most common models, so warranty calls and minor hardware fixes don’t wait on a warehouse in another state.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- HOA variance stall: A homeowner in Boca West orders a white impact door, pulls the old one, and only then learns the 1980s spec calls for bronze anodized. The board fines start, the opening sits open, and the job drags. We file the variance before the old door comes out, so you never face that gap.
- Wrong approval number: Palm Beach County plan review rejects doors that carry a Florida Product Approval but not a Miami-Dade NOA for coastal Boca parcels. We verify the approval against your specific opening before we submit, because a rejection adds two weeks and a resubmission fee.
- Salt air corrosion: The Atlantic and the Intracoastal both push salt-laden air into Boca Raton neighborhoods, and aluminum frames from the 1980s are often so oxidized at the sill that the frame can’t be re-used. We replace the full frame, not just the slab, so the new door actually seals.
- Design pressure mismatch: Some contractors install a door with a large-missile rating but the wrong PSF design pressure for the opening, and the wind mitigation inspector flags it. That kills your premium credit and can void the warranty. We match design pressure to the opening, never above +100/-100 PSF, every single time.
Pricing for Door Installation in Boca Raton, FL
A standard impact-rated entry door in Boca Raton runs $2,200 to $4,800 installed, depending on frame condition and the finish your HOA approves. Replacement doors without HOA finish complications start around $1,800. Custom-painted Therma-Tru units matched to a vintage bronze spec, like the one we installed in Boca West, typically add $400 to $900 for the finish work and submittal packet. French and double door sets run $3,500 to $6,500. What moves the price: opening count, design pressure required for your wind zone, frame replacement versus slab-only swap, and how many rounds your architectural review takes. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free in-home measure and written line-item quote. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
What Door Installation Costs in Boca Raton
For context, impact windows in Boca Raton generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung units at $900 to $1,800 and large or custom openings from $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home door and window packages in Arvida communities typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more. The same forces that drive window pricing, wind zone, floor height, frame material, and HOA finish matching, apply to your doors. A second-story door opening in a coastal parcel east of Federal Highway carries a higher design pressure requirement than an inland first-floor door in a concrete block villa. We provide a free in-home measure and written quote, so you can see exactly where the money goes before you sign anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Boca Raton homeowners have several incentive paths that stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6% to 7% at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many carriers credit roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers; your program eligibility and your carrier’s final rates decide the outcome. We do guarantee the documentation is correct when your inspector arrives.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect the opening when someone remembers to hang them, and Boca Raton’s older villas often don’t have shutters sized for the original door frames anyway. A permanently installed impact door protects your home every hour of the year, not just during the hours you’re home and the storm is six hours out. We install impact doors; we don’t sell or install shutters.

FAQs - Door Installation in Boca Raton
Because Boca West’s 1980s architectural specs often mandate a bronze anodized aluminum finish that no current Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact door matches exactly. An impact-rated door that doesn’t match the community’s finish spec is still a violation, and the board can fine you daily until it’s corrected. We file the variance showing a custom-painted Therma-Tru or PGT unit that matches the original color under low-E insulated glass, and we schedule the work around the review board’s calendar. Call (904) 893-3309 if you’re facing this now; we can pull your community’s specs and tell you exactly what the board will ask for.
Typically two to four weeks, depending on when the architectural review board meets and whether your packet is complete on the first submission. We submit the variance, the manufacturer’s finish samples, the Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and photos of the existing door all at once, which avoids a tabled first round. Then we order the unit so it’s in transit while the board deliberates. Once you’re approved and the door lands, install is usually one day.
Yes, under the Florida Building Code’s HVHZ provisions, every exterior door in Boca Raton, east or west of I-95, must meet impact-resistance standards for your wind zone. Inland parcels may have slightly lower design pressure requirements than coastal parcels, but the door still needs a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. Plan review won’t issue the permit without it, and your insurer will verify it during the wind mitigation inspection.
You can keep the white door until the board fines you, or you can replace it with an impact-rated door that matches the bronze spec, which usually means a custom paint finish over a Therma-Tru or PGT frame. We’ve done exactly this in Woodfield and in Boca West. We order the unit with the manufacturer’s base finish, then apply the custom paint match with documentation the board’s architectural committee will accept. We handle the variance, the finish sample, and the installation, and we don’t leave the opening exposed while the committee deliberates. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free measure and a submittal-ready quote.
Yes, often by enough to notice. After installation, we provide the documentation your wind mitigation inspector needs to verify that the door meets the design pressure for its opening. A passing inspection typically yields a windstorm premium credit, and many Boca Raton homeowners report credits around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The exact credit is set by your carrier, not by us, but we make sure the paperwork is right. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home would need.
How Boca Raton’s HOA Process Changes Your Door Timeline
Boca Raton’s enormous inventory of Arvida Corporation-developed communities from the 1970s and 80s, including Boca West, Broken Sound, and Woodfield Country Club, means tens of thousands of CBS homes still have original single-pane aluminum doors that predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact mandates. Every replacement job here triggers a dual-compliance bottleneck: the new door must meet Palm Beach County’s 170-mph wind design requirement under the Florida Building Code, and it must pass each community’s HOA Architectural Review Board, which often has vintage style specs that conflict with available impact-rated product lines. Skipping the variance is the most common reason Boca Raton door jobs stall mid-project, with the old door already out and daily fines accruing.
Here’s what the submittal packet needs: the manufacturer’s Miami-Dade NOA for your exact configuration, a finish sample matched to the community’s spec, a photo of the existing door, and a written description of how the new unit deviates from the old finish. We prepare all of it, file it with the board’s architectural committee, and track it through approval. We don’t leave the opening exposed while the committee deliberates. In Boca West, our crew replaced a corroded single-pane aluminum entry door with a PGT impact-rated door, but the HOA’s 1980s spec called for a bronze anodized finish no longer available with a Miami-Dade NOA. We filed the architectural variance, presented a custom-painted Therma-Tru that matched the original color under low-E insulated glass, and got approval in 21 days, then pulled the permit and completed the install in one day after the review board met. That’s how the schedule should work when someone knows the process.
This page is the only door installation guide that maps Boca Raton’s Arvida-era HOA architectural-review process, finish matching, variance timing, and chair-side documentation, so you know exactly why the permit waits and how we keep the job moving. If you’re in Deerfield Beach or Delray Beach, the rules might be different; most of those communities updated their specs after Hurricane Andrew. Boca Raton didn’t, and that local reality is exactly what we plan around.
