Our crews work across Orlando from Conway to College Park to Avalon Park, and we stock common door hardware locally so we’re not waiting on a truck from another state when your door is off its hinges during a July thunderstorm.

Key takeaways:

• Replacement door installs in Orlando run $420 to $1,850 for most exterior units; custom arched doors run $2,500 to $6,000 depending on opening size and glazing.
• Orange County requires a posted permit and a valid Florida Product Approval (FL#) number on virtually every door swap, including same-size replacements.
• CBS homes need masonry anchoring with Tapcon screws into block, not standard nailing fins. If a crew shows up with a nail gun and no hammer drill, that door will shift after the first rainy season.
• Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional.

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

Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008, but the trade craft runs back many years in this region. We’re a second-generation glazier’s outfit, not a franchise that cycles through a new name every five years. Orlando homeowners tell us the same thing on estimate calls: they remember the contractor who left a door that binds in July or a seal that fogged within two years. We remember what that costs to fix, too.

Our Orlando reputation comes from doing the work the way the founding rule says: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means a background-checked, uniformed technician at your door when we said, measuring the rough opening twice, quoting manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registering both warranty layers before we pack the truck up. Live people answer our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You call, you get a person. Not a callback form.

We work constantly in Audubon Park, Baldwin Park, MetroWest, and the neighborhoods along the 408 and 417 corridors. We know what Orange County inspectors flag, what HOA architectural boards in master-planned communities reject, and what a 1994 CBS home in Hunter’s Creek needs that a 2019 frame build in Lake Nona does not.

Our Door Installation Services in Orlando

Entry & Swing Doors

Entry doors take the worst of Orlando’s weather. Summer afternoons bring 54-plus inches of annual rainfall, most of it in violent downpours that hit the west-facing door on your Metrowest home at 4 p.m. exactly when you’re walking in from the garage. We replace builder-grade steel and fiberglass doors with correctly flashed, anchored units that shed water rather than channeling it under the sill. A new entry door in Orlando typically runs $650 to $1,450 installed, depending on slab height and whether the jamb needs replacing.

What we see constantly: a builder in the early 2000s set the original door with powder-driven nails into the block. Those rust through. The door sags. The deadbolt stops lining up. We pull it, shim with composite, anchor with Tapcons, and set the new unit square and true.

Storm Doors

Storm doors are practical in Orlando, especially on east- and west-facing entries that catch wind-driven rain. A good storm door adds a layer against the afternoon downpours and lets you ventilate the front of the house in February when it’s 78 and dry. We install storm doors from stock sizes to custom, usually in one visit, for $380 to $850 depending on glass package and hardware.

One caution from the field: on a CBS home, mounting a storm door over an improperly flashed entry just traps water between the two doors. We fix the primary door first, then hang the storm unit. The Keystone Standard applies to both; if it’s not right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fight.

Arched & Custom Doors

Orlando’s master-planned communities are full of arched entryways, especially in the Tuscan-style and Mediterranean-style builds that went up around Dr. Phillips, Windermere, and Belle Isle from 1995 through 2008. Replacing an arched door is not a stock-item job. We measure the radius, order from manufacturers like CGI or ES Windows with the profile cut to match, and anchor it into block with the same masonry detail as any other install. Custom arched entry doors in Orlando run $2,500 to $6,000, and we quote the exact number in writing before you sign.

Double & French Doors

Sliding & Patio Doors in Orlando, like French doors on the back of a Lake Nona pool home or a College Park bungalow, present the same challenge as entry doors, but with two active panels and a locking astragal to keep aligned. Most Orlando French door replacements run $1,200 to $3,000 per opening. We shim and anchor both jambs into block, set both sills with flashing tape, and adjust the leaves so they meet cleanly in the middle in any humidity. The fogged-glass failure common on 15-year-old builder French doors in Orlando often means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal from thermal cycling. We quote a replacement IG unit honestly, not a full door swap, when the frame is still sound.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Orlando Homes

• Rusted anchors in CBS block. Powder-driven nails corrode in Florida humidity within 15 to 20 years, loosening the jamb and dropping the door. We replace with Tapcons into solid block, sized for the door’s dead weight and wind load.
• Missing sill pan flashing. In an inswing entry, absent or poorly lapped sill flashing lets summer downpours pool at the jamb bottom. We regularly find rot at the block-side framing within two years on doors installed by out-of-state crews unfamiliar with Orlando’s storm patterns.
• Wrong Florida Product Approval. Orange County inspectors check the FL# on every window and door. A door ordered off a website with an approval number valid under another state’s code, but not Florida’s, triggers a stop-work order and a tear-out. We verify the approval before we order the door, every time.
• Fogged insulated glass. The thermal cycling between Orlando’s 90-degree afternoons and 50-degree winter mornings, combined with 54-plus inches of annual rain, accelerates seal failure. A door sidelight that fogs every morning means the IG unit’s seal is gone. We replace the glass, not the slab.

Why Orlando’s CBS Housing Stock Changes How Doors Are Installed

Orlando’s post-Disney development boom filled Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties with hundreds of thousands of concrete block structure homes, built fast between roughly 1978 and 2005 and largely uniform in age. Those original doors are now hitting replacement age, and the homes themselves are built differently from anything you’ll find in Atlanta or Charlotte. A frame home gets a door nailed to a wood jamb with nailing fins. A CBS home gets a buck frame set into concrete block. To anchor the door properly, you drill into the block and set Tapcon screws, pulling the jamb tight and straight. Skip that step, and the frame shifts within the first rainy season. We see it after every named storm, when out-of-state crews who know drywall but not block start flooding Orlando and leave stop-work orders behind them.

We recently replaced a warped exterior door on a 1990s CBS home in Metrowest. The original jamb was held with powder-driven nails that had rusted through. We pulled it, shimmed the opening with composite, anchored with Tapcons into the block, and set a new door with flashing tape and a low-profile sill to keep those four o’clock thunderstorm downpours from driving water under the threshold. We also provide Andersen service in Orlando. That is the standard we apply to every door we install in Orlando.

Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando

We service and install doors from more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, and PGT, plus the brands homeowners on both coasts ask for: CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. All are backed by manufacturer warranties that we register in writing under The Keystone Standard. We stock common door hardware and replacement weatherstripping locally in Orlando, so repairs don’t wait on a supply house three states over. If a manufacturer discontinues a line that matches your original 2003 builder door, we’ll tell you that before we quote a replacement, and we’ll give you paper numbers for the closest matches.

Do I Need a Permit Just to Swap an Exterior Door in Orlando?

Yes, in almost every case. Orange County inspectors require a posted building permit and a valid Florida Product Approval (FL#) number for door replacements, including same-size swaps. That’s true across unincorporated Orange County and within most Orlando city limits. The FL# is not a general license; it’s a Florida-specific product certification that verifies the door meets the design-pressure rating required for Orange County’s wind zone. A door ordered from an online supplier with a vague “hurricane rated” sticker but no FL# on file will get flagged, and the inspector will order a stop-work. We pull permits for every exterior door install we do in Orlando, and we verify the FL# before we cut the order. If a contractor tells you a permit isn’t needed for a same-size exterior door swap, that’s your signal to call someone else.
