AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lauderhill
Door installation in Lauderhill runs between $850 and $4,200 for most entry, French, and storm door replacements, with impact-rated systems typically landing between $2,400 and $6,500 depending on the opening size and frame condition. That range reflects what we actually see in Lauderhill’s 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, where original aluminum frames set directly into concrete block often require full buck replacement once the old door comes off. TruePane Windows & Doors sends background-checked, uniformed technicians to Lauderhill weekly, and most single-door replacements are finished the same day. If you’re pricing a replacement, call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008, our crews have spent years opening up Lauderhill’s aging CBS walls and finding the same pattern: original aluminum frames channeled directly into block with no flashing tape, termite-softened rough openings, and wind-driven rain that has been wicking behind stucco for decades. We know what a Lauderhill permit triggers because we’ve pulled hundreds of them in Broward County. When the inspector shows up to sign off an HVHZ opening, he checks the anchoring, the flashing, and the product approval sticker. We set every door so all three pass the first time. That is not marketing language. That is what keeps your homeowners policy from getting flagged.
Our Door Installation team works in Lauderhill neighborhoods from Inverrary to the blocks around NW 19th Street and the 33313 and 33319 zip codes every month. Homeowners in Century Village Lauderhill call us about association hurricane-code inspections. Owners of 1970s ranch homes off Sunrise Boulevard call us about front doors that bind in July and let conditioned air pour out under the threshold. Both get the same treatment: a squared opening, a flashed sill, and both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. The Keystone Standard is not a slogan here. It is the baseline.
Our Door Installation Services in Lauderhill
Entry & Swing Doors
A new steel or fiberglass entry door in Lauderhill runs $1,100 to $3,800 installed, and if your house is one of the thousands of CBS ranches built between 1965 and 1978, plan for the possibility of a new pressure-treated buck. The original builder almost certainly set the aluminum frame directly into the block with no flashing, which is why so many Lauderhill front doors have rotted rough openings hiding behind them. We cut the old frame clean, rebuild the opening, flash the sill with self-adhered membrane, and hang a door that actually closes square in August. Most of these jobs are done in one day.
Double & French Doors
Double and French door replacement in Lauderhill typically costs $2,200 to $5,500 when impact-rated glazing is required, and in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, it usually is. Homes backing up to the lakes in Inverrary or the canals near Lauderdale Lakes face additional exposure, and we often see the same failure mode on the original sliders: the aluminum track has corroded, the rollers have collapsed, and the panels have dropped enough to let rain run under the sill. Our replacement includes new fusion-welded frames, stainless hardware, and low-E insulated glass that meets Florida Energy Code without making the room feel like a fishbowl.
Storm Doors
Storm doors in Lauderhill serve a different purpose than they do up north. Here, the right storm door adds a layer of impact-rated protection to your primary entry, screens out the bugs that come with the rainy season, and lets you catch the cross-breeze off the Everglades without opening the whole house to it. A quality storm door with a retractable screen runs $600 to $1,400 installed, and we stock models that carry Florida product approval for HVHZ installation. If your current storm door has a closer that slams, a frame that’s sagging, or glass that rattles in the wind, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are becoming common on newer and remodeled homes in Lauderhill’s western neighborhoods, where taller entries and wider openings call for something heavier than a standard three-hinge system. These run $3,500 to $7,500 installed, depending on the slab size and whether you need impact-rated glazing or a solid-core panel. The hardware matters as much as the door: an undersized pivot hinge on a 300-pound door is an injury waiting to happen. We spec the hinge from the start, reinforce the header, and set the pivot so the door swings true without dragging. If you’re considering one, let us measure the opening before you order the slab. It saves you the pain of a custom door that doesn’t fit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lauderhill’s wind zone we lean on PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem for impact-rated products that carry Florida or Miami-Dade product approval. We don’t push one brand over another. We quote lines side by side on paper so you can see the difference in glass package, frame construction, and warranty duration before you spend a dollar. Both warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave your driveway. If a claim ever comes up, you’ll have the paperwork in hand, not a promise.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Frames set directly into CBS with no flashing tape. On 1960s and 1970s Lauderhill homes, the original aluminum door frame was often channeled right into the block. Wind-driven rain has been working behind the stucco for fifty years, and by the time the door comes off, the rough opening is soft. This means a full buck replacement, not a simple swap.
- Jalousie and single-pane sliding doors that fail HVHZ wind-load requirements. Those louvered back doors on older Lauderhill houses were never rated for Broward County’s hurricane zone. Insurers flag them as uninsurable openings, and a routine replacement becomes a code-triggered upgrade with new anchoring and impact glazing.
- Oxidized aluminum and failed weatherstripping on aging swing doors. The heat, humidity, and UV in South Florida pit aluminum frames and harden weatherstripping within a few years. A door that looks fine from the street can be leaking conditioned air around all four sides, pushing your cooling bill up month after month.
- Termite damage hidden behind door frames. Lauderhill’s older CBS homes are vulnerable to subterranean termites that enter through cracks in the slab and travel up behind door jambs. When we pull a door, it’s not unusual to find softened wood that was never visible until the frame came out. We replace what needs replacing and document it so you know what was done.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lauderhill
Yes, and it needs to carry Florida or Miami-Dade product approval, not just a manufacturer’s claim of impact resistance. Century Village Lauderhill sits under Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, and the association’s inspection process checks that every replaced opening meets current HVHZ anchoring and glazing standards. We’re familiar with the paperwork Century Village requires, and we register both warranty layers in writing so you have documentation for the board. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll walk you through what your unit needs.
The whole frame has to go. Jalousie doors don’t meet current HVHZ wind-load requirements, there’s no retrofit kit that changes that, and Broward insurers treat them as uninsurable openings. We’ll remove the old frame, inspect the rough opening in the CBS wall, rebuild the buck if needed, and install an impact-rated swinging or sliding door that satisfies code. It’s a bigger job than a jalousie patch, but it’s the only fix that protects your policy and your house. Call (850) 303-7739 for a quote specific to your back patio.
Because the installer didn’t inspect what was behind the frame before quoting, and when the door came off, the truth showed up. In Lauderhill’s older CBS homes, that usually means one of three things: no flashing tape behind the stucco, termite damage to the rough opening, or a jamb that was channeled directly into block and is now rotted. That’s why TruePane quotes allowances for framing repairs in writing up front. If we find something like this, you see a photo and get a written change order before we spend a nickel. No surprise line items. Call (850) 303-7739 and get an honest price the first time.
Yes, Lauderhill enforces Broward County’s HVHZ permitting requirements for exterior door replacement, even a same-size swap. The city inspector verifies the new door carries Florida or Miami-Dade product approval, the anchoring meets wind-load code, and the flashing is correct. TruePane pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and doesn’t consider the job finished until the inspector signs off. That’s part of the done-right standard we hold ourselves to on every Lauderhill install.
Yes, that’s a failed insulated glass seal, and the morning fog against the lake humidity is a textbook sign. Once the seal fails, the argon or krypton gas escapes, the glass loses its insulating value, and the only permanent fix is replacing the glass unit or the door slab. On most quality French doors, the glass can be swapped without tearing out the frame, but if your doors are original to a 1970s Inverrary home, we’d check the frame condition and the rollers before recommending a repair versus replacement. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you an honest assessment.
