Door Installation in Lauderdale Lakes - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lauderdale Lakes

Door installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $800-$2,400 for a standard entry door replacement and $1,900-$5,600 for an impact-rated swing door with full frame replacement, based on what we’ve priced across Lauderdale Lakes Estates, East Gate, and the condo corridors along Oakland Park Boulevard. Most jobs here require a Miami-Dade NOA-certified product and a Broward County permit, which we pull and close ourselves. If you’re opening up a 1960s CBS home and want the door set square, flashed correctly, and inspected the first time, call (754) 238-2201.

Call (754) 238-2201

We work in Lauderdale Lakes every week. We know the aluminum jamb rot, the undersized rough openings, the slab-edge thresholds that leak. Our crews are local, background-checked, and uniformed, and a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day. You won’t get a call center in another state and you won’t get a crew that’s never worked a Broward County HVHZ inspection.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Door Installation Company

TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, but the craft behind it goes back many years. The rule that names the company hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Lauderdale Lakes, that matters more than most places. A door that’s out of true on a 50-year-old CBS home doesn’t just bind in July. It leaks during hurricane season and fails the Broward inspection after you’ve already paid.

Homeowners in Lauderdale Lakes call us because we measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in every contract. No fine print that covers neither. No warranty that quietly dies because the paperwork was never filed.

We’re not the cheapest bid in Lauderdale Lakes. We’re the last call you make on a door. The Done Right Promise backs every install. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork fight, no waiting on hold to reach someone who actually knows what happened on your job.

Our Door Installation team also stocks local parts and trim profiles for the 1960s and 70s homes that make up most of Lauderdale Lakes. That means faster turnarounds when your jamb is too far gone to save and we have to re-frame rather than re-skin.

Key Takeaways for Lauderdale Lakes Homeowners

• Every permitted door replacement in Lauderdale Lakes must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). A Florida Building Code label alone gets red-tagged here. We pull the permit and verify the NOA before sign-off.
• Most 1960s-70s CBS homes in Lauderdale Lakes need full frame replacement, not a quick slab swap. The original aluminum jambs are typically corroded and the rough openings are undersized for modern impact-rated doors.
• Entry and swing doors in Lauderdale Lakes typically run $800-$2,400 for standard units and $1,900-$5,600 for impact-rated installs with reframing. Double and French doors run $2,800-$7,200 depending on opening width and product line.
• We pull Broward County permits, schedule inspections, and close the permit. The Done Right Promise covers workmanship, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing.

Our Door Installation Services in Lauderdale Lakes

Entry & Swing Doors

An entry door in Lauderdale Lakes is not a cosmetic swap. It’s the first line of a wind-rated building envelope in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Most of the entry doors we replace in Lauderdale Lakes Estates and East Gate are original 1960s or 70s aluminum units with corroded jambs and failed thresholds. We re-frame the rough opening to accept a modern impact-rated swing door, correct the sill slope, and flash the opening before the jamb goes in. A standard entry door replacement here typically runs $800-$2,400. An impact-rated entry door with full frame replacement and new flashing runs $1,900-$4,800.

We don’t force a door that doesn’t fit. If the rough opening is too small for the unit you picked, we tell you before we cut. The quote stays what it says.

Storm Doors

Storm doors in Lauderdale Lakes sit on raw slab edges more often than they should. The original construction rarely included pan flashing under the threshold, so water wicks underneath and rots the wood subfloor before you ever see a stain on the inside. When we set a storm door on a Lauderdale Lakes CBS home, we install the pan flashing, slope the sill away from the opening, and anchor the frame to the block rather than relying on caulk that the humidity will break down in three years. Expect $600-$1,800 for a storm door install here, depending on whether we have to correct the sill or re-frame the opening.

Given the HVHZ rules, a storm door alone does not count as impact protection. We’ll tell you that plainly before you spend money on something that won’t pass an insurance inspection.

Double & French Doors

Double and French doors on Lauderdale Lakes single-story homes usually replace sliding glass units that have been in the wall since the house was built. The old opening was framed for a thin aluminum slider, not for two swinging impact-rated panels. We re-frame the opening, add the required header reinforcement, and set the new doors with continuous flashing at the sill and jambs. Double door installs in Lauderdale Lakes run $2,800-$7,200 depending on width, product line, and how much reframing the permit inspection triggers.

We quote Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows side by side on paper so you can see the exact product difference before you pay for it.

Bifold & Folding Doors

Bifold and folding doors in Lauderdale Lakes are less common but work well on mid-century CBS homes that open onto a patio or concrete slab. The challenge here is the same one we see everywhere in the city: the original opening wasn’t built for the load a multi-panel folding system puts on the header. We reinforce the header, re-frame the opening, and ensure the track is dead level before the panels hang. Folding door installs start around $3,200 in Lauderdale Lakes and climb based on panel count and glass spec. We’ll quote it in writing, with both warranty layers registered, before work starts.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors are a statement entry on newer Lauderdale Lakes renovations, but they demand a perfectly true rough opening and a floor that actually bears the pivot hardware. On 50-year-old slab homes, that means checking the slab for level and often grinding or shimming before the pivot brackets mount. We’ve installed pivot doors in Lauderdale Lakes that needed a half-inch correction at the threshold before the door would swing without binding. Plan $1,800-$5,500 for a pivot door install here. We’ll inspect the opening first and tell you what’s actually required before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes

We install and service doors from more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we’re an authorized installer for, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Lauderdale Lakes specifically, we work most often with CGI, PGT, and ES Windows, because those lines carry the Miami-Dade NOA certifications that Broward County inspectors look for on the job site. We keep common trim profiles, sill pans, and flashing stock for the CBS and low-rise condo openings we see across Lauderdale Lakes, which means less waiting when your job needs a part that has to be ordered.

Both warranty layers get registered in writing for every product we set, with the durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s the same on a $900 storm door or a $7,000 French door system.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes

• Miami-Dade NOA failures from out-of-area installers. A contractor from north of the Broward-Palm Beach line may install a door certified only to the Florida Building Code, not the stricter Miami-Dade NOA standard. The Broward inspector red-tags the permit, the opening sits unprotected, and the homeowner is stuck paying twice. We verify the NOA sticker before the product ever goes on the truck.
• Undersized rough openings in 1960s-70s CBS construction. The original door frames in Lauderdale Lakes were built for thin aluminum jambs, not for today’s impact-rated swing doors. Forcing a modern door into the old opening creates a jamb that leaks at the first hard rain. We re-frame the opening to the correct dimensions before setting the door, every time.
• Missing pan flashing at slab thresholds. Original doors on Lauderdale Lakes CBS homes often sit directly on the raw slab edge with no flashing under the threshold. Water wicks under the door and rots the wood subfloor before the stain shows inside. When we set a door where a slab meets the opening, the pan flashing goes in first. It’s not optional.
• Corroded aluminum frames from humidity and salt air. After 50 years in Broward’s humidity and proximity to the Atlantic, most original aluminum door frames in Lauderdale Lakes are too corroded to re-skin. Full frame replacement is the honest answer on most jobs here. A patch will fail again, and it won’t pass inspection.

How We Handle the Surprises Inside a Lauderdale Lakes Door Opening

Every permitted door replacement in Lauderdale Lakes must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The city sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that standard catches contractors crossing the Palm Beach line, where identical products are legal without the NOA sticker. A door that passed inspection in Boca Raton can get red-tagged in Lauderdale Lakes the same week. That is not a hypothetical. We see it happen to homeowners who hired someone from outside the county and didn’t know to ask.

On a door replacement in the Lauderdale Lakes Estates neighborhood, our crew pulled a corroded 1970s aluminum jamb to find the original flashing tape had disintegrated and the rough opening was undersized for today’s impact-rated swing door. We re-framed the opening, corrected the sill slope, and flashed the new ViewLux door with peel-and-stick flashing before setting the jamb. Then we scheduled the Broward inspector who verified the NOA sticker before sign-off. That is how the job should go, and it’s how we do every door in Lauderdale Lakes.

We inspect first. We put a written allowance in the contract for the framing and waterproofing work a permit typically triggers on older Lauderdale Lakes homes. If we find something behind the wall that wasn’t in the allowance, we stop, show you the problem, and put the price in writing before we touch it. No surprise line items on the bill. No second appointment left hanging. A square deal, in writing, from the first visit.
