The older Atlantis homes, the ones built between the late 1950s and the mid-1980s, share a common problem: aluminum door frames that have corroded from decades of salt-laden humidity rolling in from the Atlantic, three and a half miles east. Every week we see jambs that have pulled away from the studs, doors that bind in July and leak air in January. Replacing them isn’t a swap. It’s a framing job, an impact-glazing decision, and a city permit process that the team from TruePane Windows & Doors handles from the first measurement to the final inspection.

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

Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard every uniformed, background-checked technician works to when they pull into an Atlantis driveway off Congress Avenue or Clubhouse Boulevard. Our Door Installation crews measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The Keystone Standard backs every job, and the Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we fix it. No paperwork fights. No arguing.

Atlantis homeowners tend to be people who’ve lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years and plan to stay. They remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that never closed square. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a call center, not a callback form. When you call about a door in Atlantis, you talk to someone who knows what a jalousie door is and why it can’t be retrofitted to code.

Our Door Installation Services in Atlantis

Entry & Swing Doors

Most Atlantis front doors are original or first-replacement units from the 1970s and 1980s: hollow-core wood or thin aluminum with single-pane glass. In a wind-borne debris region, neither one meets the current Florida Building Code. We install impact-rated entry doors from PGT, CGI, and Andersen that seal tight against the humid air and carry both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing. A typical entry door replacement in Atlantis runs $2,200 to $5,800, depending on the need for reframing and the impact rating you choose.

Double & French Doors

Homes around the Atlantis Country Club frequently have double French doors opening onto patios or pool decks, and the originals were rarely flashed correctly. Thirty or forty years of salt-laden humidity gets behind the jamb, rots the rough opening, and leaves you with a door that won’t latch and a floor that feels soft near the threshold. We reframe, install new flashing tape, and set fusion-welded frames with low-E insulated glass, then we document the repair for the city inspector. Budget $3,400 to $7,200 for an impact-rated double door replacement with framing in Atlantis.

Storm Doors

Even on homes where the main entry door was replaced years ago, the storm door is often an aftermarket aluminum unit that doesn’t seal and doesn’t match the new hardware. We supply and install storm doors sized to the existing opening, with full weatherstripping and thresholds that keep the summer rain and humidity out of the entryway. In Atlantis, a solid vinyl or aluminum storm door runs $900 to $2,100 installed, and we can match the adjacent hardware finish while we’re at it.

Bifold & Folding Doors

Bifold and folding door systems are increasingly common on lanais and Florida rooms where homeowners want a wide opening to the breeze without giving up code compliance. The catch is weight and engineering: a multi-panel folding door needs a header sized for the load, especially on a 1960s masonry wall that was never designed for that span. We evaluate the structure before we quote, and we permit the work through Atlantis’s own municipal authority. Most bifold installations in Atlantis run $5,500 to $9,800, including the framing and the impact-rated panels.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlantis

TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Atlantis homeowners we most often recommend PGT, CGI, CWS for impact-rated door systems. Door Installation in Atlantis means working with products engineered for Florida’s wind-borne debris region, not a generic unit shipped from a warehouse in Ohio. We stock the most common threshold caps, weatherstripping profiles, and hardware parts locally, so a service follow-up doesn’t wait on a backorder. If you want side-by-side quotes for two or three manufacturer lines before you commit, we’ll put them on paper side by side.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Atlantis Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames pulling away from the studs. Forty years of salt-laden humidity oxidizes the original frames until the jamb separates from the rough opening. The door goes out of square, the deadbolt stops lining up, and the only correct fix is a full reframe and a new impact-rated unit.
• Jalousie doors that legally cannot be repaired. Florida rooms and lanais in Atlantis often still have jalousie or single-pane louvered doors. They can’t be retrofitted to meet impact requirements, so a “repair” is actually a full replacement under permit. We tell customers this before we ever schedule the work, because it changes the estimate.
• Rotted rough openings hidden behind old flashing tape. When we pull a door on a 1970s Atlantis home, we usually find water damage where the old tape failed. We reframe, flash correctly, and document everything for the city inspector.
• Undersized headers that trigger code upgrades. Even a same-size door replacement can require a larger header once the wall is open. We write an allowance into the contract up front so the surprise is priced before the work, not after.

How Atlantis’s Own Permitting Process Shapes Every Door Job

This is the part of working in Atlantis that surprises new customers. Atlantis operates its own municipal permitting authority, separate from Palm Beach County. Every permitted door replacement must pass a city-specific review that reflects the city’s status as a high-value, tightly watched residential community. And because virtually every original exterior door in Atlantis is non-impact-rated aluminum from the 1960s through 1980s, opening up any exterior wall triggers full replacement under the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region requirements. You can’t patch it. You can’t retrofit a jalousie frame. You replace it, and you permit it. We handle that entire process from application to final inspection, and we build the permit timeline into our schedule so you know when the crew arrives and when the city will be out to sign off.

We replaced a corroded aluminum sliding door on a 1970s home near the Atlantis Country Club with an Andersen impact-rated hinged French door. When we pulled the old jamb, the rough opening had rotted from years of salt-laden humidity and failed flashing tape. Our crew reframed the opening, installed new flashing tape, and hung the door with a fusion-welded frame and low-E insulated glass unit. The city’s permit inspector approved the work in one visit because we had documented the framing repair and impact glazing before closing the wall. That’s how the job should go in Atlantis: documentation first, no guessing, no reopening walls later.
