Custom configurations with sidelites or transoms run higher, often $4,000 to $9,000.

Our Front Door Replacement team serves all of Palm Beach Gardens, from the older ranch neighborhoods near Northlake Boulevard to the newer estate homes in Old Marsh. We know the permitting office, we know the HOA boards, and we know what hides behind stucco when you pull an old door slab.

Why Hale Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Front Door Replacement Company

We’re not a general contractor dabbling in doors. Front door replacement is what we do, and in Palm Beach Gardens that means understanding impact ratings, HOA design review, and what a 1970s CBS wall looks like once the old jamb comes out. Spencer Odell, who leads our team, sets a simple rule: every door gets a written price before any work starts, and every install carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right, no argument needed.

Homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens call us because they want to know who’s coming to their door before the truck pulls up. That’s our Threshold Standard: every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, photo-badged, and pre-announced by name and photo before the visit. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway, which matters when you’re home alone or with young kids.

We also stock and install four impact-rated product lines relevant to Palm Beach Gardens homes: CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, alongside Therma-Tru entry systems. That isn’t a brand list to impress you. It means we can match the right door to your opening, your wind zone, and your HOA’s approved color palette instead of pushing one product on every house.

Entry Door Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens

Entry Door Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens means replacing the slab, the frame, the threshold, and the hardware as one system, not just swapping glass. In a high-velocity hurricane zone with salt-laden air off the Atlantic, leaving the original 1970s jamb in place while swapping only the slab is the single most common cause of failed wind-driven-rain inspections we see. A full entry system replacement in Palm Beach Gardens runs $2,200 to $5,800 for impact-rated models, depending on opening size and whether you need sidelites.

We always start with an inspection of the rough opening. Not a 30-second look. We check for termite-tunneled jamb studs, missing head flashing, undersized framing, and whether the original threshold has been letting water into the CBS wall for years. The written quote you receive includes line-item allowances for the framing and flashing repair work a permit triggers, so the price doesn’t shift mid-job without your written approval.

When a Palm Beach Gardens homeowner needs it

Your front door is the first line of defense against wind-driven rain, and in Palm Beach Gardens that isn’t a metaphor. Older aluminum-frame doors with single-pane glass pockmark and pit from salt air. The threshold wears down from humidity cycles. The jamb rots behind stucco you can’t see. If your door sticks, leaks at the bottom, shows daylight around the frame, or feels flimsy when you close it, the problem is usually the whole opening, not the slab.

What the permit triggers

When you pull a permit for an entry door in Palm Beach Gardens, the inspector checks head flashing, anchoring, and water-resistive barrier integration at the jambs. That’s a feature, not a hassle. It means hidden rot and missing flashing get caught before they rot the wall, and the fix is priced in writing before we start. Our framing crews cut back stucco, sister new pressure-treated studs where needed, flash the head correctly, and re-flash the jambs before the new door ever goes in.

Exterior Door Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens

Exterior Door Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens covers every door that faces the outside, from your entry door to patio doors, garage-to-home doors, and side entries. Every exterior opening in a high-velocity hurricane zone carries a design pressure rating matched to the opening’s size, height above grade, and wind speed zone. We never install a door with a design pressure below what the opening’s wind load calculation requires, and we never mislabel a wind speed as a design pressure; a 140-170 mph wind speed number is a wind zone figure, not a PSF rating.

Exterior door replacement in Palm Beach Gardens runs $1,800 to $4,500 for a standard impact-rated door, $3,500 to $7,000 with one sidelite, and $5,000 to $9,500 for wider openings with transoms or custom glass. Those ranges assume the rough opening is sound. If we open the wall and find framing damage behind the stucco, the repair cost is covered by the allowance written into your quote before we touch a saw.

Stucco cutting and re-flashing

Most Palm Beach Gardens homes are CBS construction: concrete block and stucco. Cutting into stucco without proper re-flashing is how you get concealed rot in the rough opening and corrosion on the new frame within a few years. We cut clean, flash the head, integrate the water-resistive barrier at the jambs, and seal the sill against rising moisture. Then we install the door tight to the framing with the correct anchors for the wind load, not just screws into the block.

HOA approval before installation

If your home is in PGA National, Mirasol, or BallenIsles, your HOA design-review board may reject a door that already carries full Florida Product Approval. A non-conforming color, the wrong glass pattern, or a sidelite proportion that doesn’t match the community’s approved look is enough to stop a job that passed engineering. We submit the door’s color chip, glass sample, and elevation drawings to your board before you sign the final contract, and we don’t order the door until the approval letter is in hand.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens

We install and service entry doors from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, along with Therma-Tru fiberglass entry systems. Each line has different strengths: CGI and CWS make heavy-gauge impact-rated doors suited to direct ocean exposure, ES Windows offers narrow sightlines for modern and Mediterranean-style homes, and Therma-Tru gives you the widest range of glass pattern and color options for HOA-governed communities. We keep installation hardware and common replacement parts stocked locally for Palm Beach Gardens customers, which means grab bars, threshold plates, and hinge repair kits get addressed without waiting on a parts order from Georgia.

Common Front Door Replacement Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes

• Rotted jamb studs behind the stucco. In CBS construction, water that gets past a failed head flashing sits against the wood jamb studs inside the wall cavity. By the time the door sticks or the frame pulls away, the studs are often termite-tunneled and need sistering before a new door can be anchored properly.
• Salt-air pitting on the original aluminum frame. Homes within a few miles of the Intracoastal and the ocean see the same corrosion on door frames as they do on lanai enclosures. The hinge screws loosen, the threshold pocks, and the frame’s corner welds fail because the metal has thinned from pitting.
• HOA design rejection after impact approval. A door that clears Palm Beach Gardens’ building department can still be rejected by the design-review board in PGA National or Mirasol. The most common reasons are a glass pattern that doesn’t match the community’s approved list or a sidelite ratio that changes the home’s elevation proportions.
• Wind-driven rain failure from a slab-only replacement. A previous owner replaces the slab and leaves the 1970s jamb and threshold in place. The door shuts, but during the first real storm, water pushes under the threshold and through the jamb corners, failing the wind-driven-rain test and soaking the CBS wall.

Pricing for Front Door Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

What Front Door Replacement Costs in Palm Beach Gardens

Impact front doors in Palm Beach Gardens generally run $1,800 to $6,500 installed. Impact single doors with matching frame hardware run $2,200 to $4,800. Large or custom openings with sidelites and transoms run $2,500 to $5,000 for the door unit itself plus $1,500 to $3,500 for framing, flashing, and finish work. Whole-home packages that replace every exterior door, including patio and garage-to-home entries, run $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on opening count and glass upgrades. Palm Beach Gardens moves the price three ways: the wind zone the home sits in, the floor height above grade, which raises design pressure requirements, and whether your opening is a standard 36-inch rough opening or a wider custom frame that needs stucco cutting on both sides. We don’t give verbal estimates over the phone and then change them later. You get a written quote after a free in-home measure, and that quote holds.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has real incentive programs for impact-resistant front doors, and the stack is worth knowing before you budget. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated doors. Florida has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which saves you around 6% to 7% on the product portion of the job. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Florida carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium. We can’t guarantee any credit figure; your insurer and the program administrators set final numbers. But the programs exist, and a licensed impact specialist can help you document the upgrade correctly.

One honest comparison: impact-rated doors are a permanent protection, not something you carry out of the garage and hang when a storm track firms up. Hurricane shutters work, but they do nothing when you’re not home, and they add panel handling to an evacuation timeline. An impact door is always in place, always rated, and you don’t think about it. We don’t sell or install shutters. We install impact doors that are always working.
