AfterTrusted Door Installation for Doral Homeowners
Door installation in Doral, FL typically costs between $450 and $3,800 depending on the door type, material, and whether the existing frame needs work. A standard entry door replacement usually runs $850 to $1,900, while a custom arched or pivot door can push past $3,500 once the rough opening is modified. TruePane Windows & Doors has been installing doors in Doral since 2008 and also offers our Door Installation in Hialeah, and every job carries the Done Right Promise in writing, not just in conversation.
Doral’s heat and humidity are hard on doors. We replace more swollen, binding doors here than almost any other issue, because the afternoon thunderstorms and salt air from the coast work their way into wood and weatherstripping. Dale Kessler founded TruePane on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to the door slab, the hinges, the threshold, and the seal. Call (386) 854-7948 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we install in Doral starts with measuring the opening twice and checking the rough opening for level and plumb before any slab is ordered or hung. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Here is what that looks like for each type of door.
Entry & Swing Doors
Your front door is the first line of defense against Doral’s summer storms and the first thing visitors notice. We install steel, fiberglass, and wood entry doors with full weatherstripping, adjustable thresholds, and prime-painted slabs ready for your finish coat. If your current door sticks in July or lets daylight through the edges, we can tell you whether it’s a hinge issue, a frame issue, or simply a door that was never set right in the first place.
Double & French Doors
Double doors fail in pairs, and the usual culprit is a center astragal that was never aligned or a top jamb that settled out of square. TruePane installs both inswing and outswing French doors with reinforced center posts when the opening is wide enough to need one. We set each leaf independently, shim the jambs, and adjust the meeting stiles until both doors close with even reveal on all sides, which is what separates a door that works for twenty years from one that starts binding in eighteen months.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Interior bifold doors look simple, but a poorly set track or uneven floor means doors that scrape, jump the rail, or refuse to fold flat. We replace worn hardware, realign tracks, and install quality bifold units that glide without scraping. For exterior folding door systems, typically the large glass panels opening onto a patio, we verify the structural header and the sill slope before we hang a single panel, because a folding door that leaks or binds is a five-figure mistake.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors need a different skill set than hinge doors, and we see a fair number of them in Doral’s newer builds in Downtown Doral and the Grand Bay community. The pivot point carries the full weight of the slab, so we calculate the load before installation and set the pivot hardware to manufacturer spec. If you want a tall, heavy pivot door, we’ll tell you honestly whether your floor system and header can handle it, because some cannot without reinforcement.
Storm Doors
A storm door adds a layer of protection against Doral’s wind-driven rain and gives you cross-ventilation in the winter months when you can actually open the windows. We install full-view and vented storm doors with closers that are adjusted to the weight of the door, not just slapped on. The result is a door that closes firmly without slamming and latches without you having to lift the handle.
Arched & Custom Doors
When an opening is arched, elliptical, or oversized, the door cannot be ordered off a shelf and the margin for error shrinks to about an eighth of an inch. We template the exact radius, order from manufacturers we trust, and hang the door with the grain and finish matched to the rest of the home. TruePane has installed arched doors in some of Doral’s older custom homes, and we treat every one like a cabinetmaker treats a piece of furniture, because at that price point, it should be flawless.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and that matters when it comes time to register a warranty. We have extensive hands-on experience with Andersen entry and storm doors, including their composite frames that behave differently than wood in Doral’s humidity. We know how to set their multipoint locks so the deadbolt throws cleanly every time, not just when you lean on the door.
We also install Pella and Marvin doors regularly, including their wood-clad and fiberglass lines. Each manufacturer has its own hinge specs, reveal tolerances, and flashing requirements, and we follow the installation manual for every door rather than improvising. Whether your home has one of these brands or something else entirely, we can quote it correctly and install it right the first time.
And a note about Milgard: they are better known for windows on the West Coast, but we do see their patio doors in Doral, and we service them with the same standard we apply to every other line. If you have a door from a manufacturer we didn’t name here, call us at (386) 854-7948. We will tell you straight whether it is worth repairing or replacing, and we will show you the numbers either way.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- The door scrapes the floor or the jamb when it closes. In Doral this almost always traces back to a frame that was never properly shimmed, or a hinge that has worn to the point the slab has dropped. Shim it wrong and the new door will do the same thing within a year or two.
- You can see daylight around the edges when the door is closed. That gap means your air conditioning is leaving the house and Doral’s damp air is coming in. It also means the weatherstripping cannot do its job because the reveal is uneven, and that is an installation problem, not a door problem.
- The door sweats or the finish is peeling at the bottom rail. Moisture is wicking up from the threshold because the sill pan was flashed incorrectly or never flashed at all. Once water gets behind the cladding, the frame rots, and in a few years you are replacing the rough opening too.
- The lock does not line up with the strike plate anymore. The door has settled, the frame has moved, or both. You can file the strike plate once, but when it moves again you are past the point of hardware fixes and into a replacement that addresses the underlying framing.
- The door is original to the home and the home was built before 2002. Doral’s strict wind-load codes were updated after Hurricane Andrew, and many older doors simply do not meet current requirements. Replacing an old door here is not just about appearance, it’s about a door that can hold up to the next named storm.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and measure again. We measure the rough opening width at the top, middle, and bottom, the height on both sides, and the jamb depth. Then we check the opening for level, plumb, and square. If one of those is off by more than a quarter inch, we tell you before we order anything and we quote the fix.
- 2
Quote lines side by side on paper. You should never buy a door based on a verbal description. We bring sample literature for the manufacturers we carry and show you the exact model, material, finish, and hardware you are paying for. The price we quote is the price on the invoice, no surprise line items at the end.
- 3
Order and prep. We confirm lead times with the manufacturer, schedule your installation date, and arrive with the slab, the hardware, and the flashing materials all on the truck. We do not split a simple door install into two appointments unless the work actually requires it.
- 4
Install with flashing done right. This is where most door installs fail in Doral. We flash the sill pan, the jambs, and the head as a system, not as three separate pieces taped together. We set the door plumb and level, shim behind every hinge point, and insulate the gaps before the trim goes on.
- 5
Check, adjust, register, and show you everything. We open and close the door a dozen times, check the reveal on all three sides, adjust the latch, and make sure the door swings smoothly through the full arc. Then we register both warranty layers in writing, hand you the paperwork, and walk you through what was done before we leave. That last step is the Keystone Standard, and it is why our Done Right Promise has no fine print.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Doral?
Here is what we tell homeowners in Doral when they ask about pricing. A basic slab replacement on an existing, square frame runs $450 to $850 before the cost of the door itself. A full tear-out and replacement of an entry door with a new prehung unit, including new trim and hardware, typically runs $1,200 to $2,600. French doors and double doors start around $2,200 and go up from there, and a custom arched or pivot door can reach $3,800 or more once the rough opening requires modification.
What moves the price in Doral specifically is the condition of the existing rough opening and the wind-load rating of the door you choose. An impact-rated door costs more than a standard door, but in Doral’s flood and wind zones, it is often the only responsible choice. A door that meets Miami-Dade County product approval requirements carries paperwork that proves it was tested, and we register that paperwork for you. The free estimate we give you includes the door, the hardware, the flashing, the labor, and the disposal of the old unit. No hidden line items.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Doral
Door installation is the process of setting a new door slab or a full prehung unit into an existing rough opening so it is level, plumb, square, and sealed against weather. It includes removing the old door, preparing the opening, flashing the sill and jambs, setting the new door, and trimming it out. Done right, a new door should open and close easily for years and not leak air or water at any season.
Most single entry door replacements in Doral take one day from removal to final adjustment, assuming the rough opening is in good condition. Double doors, custom doors, and any job that requires reframing can take two or three days. We will give you a clear timeline in your quote before we start, and we do not leave a job half-finished if the work can be completed that day.
A standard entry door replacement in Doral typically runs $1,200 to $2,600 with the door, hardware, flashing, and labor all included. That number moves up for double doors, impact-rated doors, and custom sizes. Call (386) 854-7948 and we will give you an exact written quote after measuring the opening. Estimates are free and do not obligate you to anything.
Yes, we install and service Andersen doors throughout Doral, including their entry, storm, and patio door lines. We are an authorized installer for and more than a dozen other manufacturers. Whether your door is Andersen, Pella, Marvin, or another brand, we can quote it accurately and install it to the manufacturer’s specification.
If your door has been forced open or damaged by a storm, call (386) 854-7948 and a live person will answer, day or night. We do not route emergencies through an answering service. We will get someone out to secure the opening and tell you what a proper replacement will cost. In Doral, a compromised door during hurricane season is a serious problem, and we treat it that way.
Every door we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty for the slab and hardware, plus our Done Right Promise on the workmanship. Under the Keystone Standard, we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with the durations stated in plain language. If something is not done right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing.
Clear a path from the front of the house to the door opening, remove wall hangings near the door that vibrations might knock loose, and plan to keep pets and small children away from the work area. We move light furniture out of the way ourselves. If we find rot or structural damage once the old door comes off, we will show you the problem and get your written approval before we do any additional work.
