AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Miami
Door installation in Miami means working with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, not around it. Every door we hang in Miami-Dade County carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), the product-approval standard born after Hurricane Andrew that neighboring markets like Orlando or Tampa never see. If you’re in Coral Gables, Little Havana, or anywhere between the bay and the Turnpike, call (754) 238-2201. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 with a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise playbook, and we’ve spent years learning what Miami’s CBS homes, salt air, and HVHZ codes demand from a door. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s.
Miami homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. When a door binds in July humidity or a storm shutter won’t latch, you want someone who knows that a west-facing door near Biscayne Bay corrodes faster than one inland. That’s the kind of local knowledge we bring to every estimate.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing before we start.
Our Door Installation Services in Miami
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors in Miami do double duty: they’re the first thing you see, and they’re the first line of defense in a storm. We install NOA-rated impact entry doors that pass both large-missile impact testing and cyclic pressure cycling, the dual standard the HVHZ requires. That’s a code requirement, not an upsell. A pre-Andrew CBS home in Westchester or Hialeah often has a rough opening that was never framed to modern dimensions, so we custom-buck the jamb before hanging the new door. We flash the perimeter with tape to stop the water intrusion we see on older concrete block homes. A no-name bidder who prices a standard door will hit you with a change order when they find out the opening isn’t standard. We price it right the first time.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Miami isn’t decorative. It’s a sacrificial layer against wind-driven rain and salt spray, and it needs marine-grade hardware to survive. We stock NOA-rated storm door lines from manufacturers like ES Windows and CGI, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. For homes in neighborhoods like Morningside or Shenandoah where front entries face the bay breeze, we recommend powder-coated aluminum frames over uncoated steel. The uncoated stuff seizes up in a few seasons.
Arched & Custom Doors
Miami’s 1950s through 1970s housing stock includes a lot of arched openings, especially in Coral Gables and the older sections of Miami Springs. Those arches were sometimes framed by hand, which means no two openings measure alike. We can match a custom arched door and keep it NOA-compliant, but it takes a different process than a standard rectangular swing door. Our crew templates the exact radius on site, orders the slab accordingly, and builds the threshold to drain water away from the jamb. We’ve done this enough times in Coral Gables to know which manufacturers will approve a custom radius and which won’t. That matters when your homeowner’s insurance audit asks for the NOA number.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding doors in Miami are popular on patios facing Biscayne Bay or a canal, where the indoor-outdoor line matters. But they carry more seal surface than any other door style, and salt-air exposure punishes cheap seals quickly. We install bifold systems from CWS and ECO Window Systems with marine-grade rollers and stainless hardware, not the zinc-plated hardware that pits within a year near the water. If you’re within a mile of the bay in Edgewater or Brickell, that hardware choice is the difference between a door that glides and a door that grinds.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Miami’s coastal exposure we often quote CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems because they carry Miami-Dade NOAs across their impact-rated product lines and we can verify those numbers before you sign anything. We stock common hardware and replacement parts for Miami customers, so a worn roller or a failed sweep doesn’t turn into a three-week wait. When a door needs service, turnaround matters.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Pre-Andrew rough openings that don’t match any standard size. Jalousie doors and single-pane sliders from the 1950s and 60s were often framed by hand, not by a mill schedule. Lowball bidders price a standard opening and then hand you a change order when the framing doesn’t line up. We measure every opening twice before we quote.
- Non-NOA doors that pass visual inspection but fail the HVHZ tests. A door can look fine and still not pass large-missile impact or cyclic pressure testing. If it doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade NOA, your insurance company can reject the mitigation credit or deny a claim. We verify the NOA number and write it into your paperwork.
- Salt-air corrosion on hardware and frames. West-facing doors near Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic get hammered by salt spray, and uncoated hardware seizes within a few years. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware on every coastal install, and we explain why on the quote.
- Water intrusion at the threshold on CBS homes. Concrete block construction doesn’t forgive a sloppy flashing job. If the perimeter isn’t taped and the threshold isn’t pitched to drain, water finds the jamb. We flash every opening before we hang the door, no exceptions.
Pricing for Door Installation in Miami, FL
Here’s what door installation actually costs in Miami. A standard entry and swing door with NOA-rated impact glazing runs $3,200 to $6,800 depending on size, material, and finish. Storm doors run $1,100 to $2,900 installed. Bifold and folding patio doors are the biggest spread: $7,500 to $22,000 because the panel count and track system drive cost in ways a single slab doesn’t. Custom arched doors run $5,500 to $14,000, and the radius work adds labor on top of the slab price. These ranges assume no major framing repair. If your opening needs custom bucks, a new header, or termite damage repair, that line item gets scoped before we quote, not discovered mid-job. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written estimate. It’s free, and it’s a fixed price, not an opening bid.

FAQs - Door Installation in Miami
Yes, your door needs a Miami-Dade NOA. Florida Building Code approval is not sufficient inside Miami-Dade County because the county sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent wind-load designation in the nation. The NOA standard requires products to pass both large-missile impact testing and cyclic pressure cycling, which a generic Florida approval does not. If your door doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade NOA, your insurance mitigation credit can be denied and the opening can be considered non-compliant. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll verify the NOA number on any door we quote.
Rarely without modification. Jalousie doors from the 1950s and 60s were framed to louver dimensions, not modern standardized door sizes, so the rough opening is usually too narrow or too tall for a stock impact door. We custom-buck the opening with treated dimensional lumber to bring it to the correct dimension, then flash and install the new NOA-rated door. It adds a few hundred dollars to the job and one day to the schedule. Budget for it, because any bidder who doesn’t mention it hasn’t measured the opening. Call (754) 238-2201 for a fixed quote that includes the rough-opening work.
Switching to NOA-rated impact openings can cut your homeowner’s insurance premium by 20 to 45 percent, depending on your carrier and your home’s location. Miami’s insurance market prices wind mitigation aggressively, and your carrier will want the NOA number and a copy of the installation paperwork. We register both warranty layers and document the NOA compliance in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, so you have exactly what your agent needs. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what to submit.
Westchester sits close enough to Biscayne Bay that prevailing onshore winds carry salt spray inland for miles, and the humidity stays above 70 percent most of the year. Salt and moisture together accelerate aluminum oxide formation, which corrodes frames, pits hardware, and breaks down gaskets faster than inland Florida conditions. We specify marine-grade powder-coated aluminum and stainless hardware on every door we install near the coast. It costs a little more up front and lasts years longer. Call (754) 238-2201 for a quote that accounts for your specific exposure.
Yes. We template the exact arch radius on site, order a custom impact-rated slab from a manufacturer that approves non-standard radii, and build the frame to preserve the NOA listing. The rough opening on a 1970s Coral Gables CBS home is usually hand-framed, so every opening measures differently. We’ve done this enough times in the Gables to know which makers will approve a custom arch and which won’t, and we’ll quote you the door and the framing work as one fixed price. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a measurement.
