Door Installation in Hobe Sound - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hobe Sound

Door installation in Hobe Sound has to account for two very different realities: mainland CBS homes built forty or fifty years ago, and waterfront properties where salt air eats hardware within a few seasons. A door that works for one will not hold up for the other. Our crews know the difference because we’ve been doing this work across Martin County long enough to see which products survive and which ones fail. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate. We’ll send a uniformed, background-checked technician who measures every opening twice and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper.

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

We are not the cheapest bid in Hobe Sound. We are the last call you should need to make. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to a pivot door on a Jupiter Island estate and a storm door on a 1960s ranch in the 33455 zip.

We hire local and train apprentices into journeymen. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree and not a regional call center. When a Hobe Sound homeowner calls about a corroded threshold plate near the Intracoastal, the person who picks up knows what galvanic pitting is. That matters. The Keystone Standard backs every install: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. Add the Done Right Promise and you have an agreement with no fine print that covers neither.

Our Door Installation Services in Hobe Sound

We cover the full range of residential Door Installation work, but three services matter most in this market: entry and swing doors, storm doors, and double or French doors. Here is what you should know about each in Hobe Sound.

Entry & Swing Doors

Most mainland Hobe Sound homes are 1960s to 1980s CBS construction, and many still have their original aluminum jalousie entry doors. Those units cannot carry impact-rated glazing because the frames lack structural depth for laminated glass and wind-load anchors. Replacement is the only code-compliant path. A properly installed impact-rated swing door on a Hobe Sound ranch typically runs $2,800 to $6,500 depending on size, finish, and whether the rough opening needs reframing. What gets expensive is the reframing, not the door itself, and we will tell you that before we quote, not after we open the wall.

Storm Doors

Storm doors in Hobe Sound serve two functions: shading the primary entry from direct salt-laden wind and reducing heat gain on south-facing elevations. We install storm doors with reinforced frames and stainless hardware specified for coastal exposure. A standard 36-inch storm door installation in the Hobe Sound area runs $900 to $2,200, with premium impact-rated models at $3,000 or more. If you are within a half-mile of the Intracoastal, we recommend stainless hardware from day one. Aluminum hardware in that zone corrodes in four to six years. The upgrade costs less than the first replacement callback.

Double & French Doors

Double and French doors are common on Florida rooms and lanai entrances throughout Hobe Sound. The catch is that many older openings were framed for thin aluminum sliders or original jalousie panels. Modern impact-rated French doors with laminated glass need a deeper rough opening and proper wind-load anchors. We reframe as needed, install impact-rated units from PGT WinGuard, CGI, or ES Windows, and register both warranty layers in writing. A typical double French door replacement in Hobe Sound runs $6,000 to $14,000 installed, depending on width, glass package, and hardware. The quote you get from us includes the reframing and flashing. A cheap quote often leaves both out.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors are a signature feature on newer high-end homes in Hobe Sound, particularly near the water. These are heavy units, and the hinge system, header reinforcement, and threshold anchoring have to be engineered correctly or the door will sag within a year. We install pivot doors with proper steel header supports and document every compliance detail for your wind mitigation report. Plan on $8,000 to $20,000 for a full pivot door installation depending on slab size, finish, and engineering requirements.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. For Hobe Sound specifically, we regularly quote CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems because those lines offer the impact ratings and coastal hardware packages this market demands. We keep common parts and hardware locally stocked so we are not waiting on a distributor in Tampa while your door sits off its hinges. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each product costs and what it includes. No surprises on the bill, no second appointment left hanging.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes

• Salt-spray corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Properties within a half-mile of the Intracoastal or ocean see galvanic pitting on threshold plates, hinges, and rollers in four to six years. The failure starts quietly, then the door binds in the jamb and the seal around the insulated glass unit fails. Stainless hardware rated for direct coastal exposure solves this permanently.
• Original jalousie doors that cannot be retrofitted. The wooden or thin aluminum frames on 1960s to 1980s jalousie doors lack the structural depth for modern laminated impact glass and wind-load anchors. Any contractor offering to retrofit them is doing work that will not pass a wind mitigation review. These are full replacement jobs, and the open-frame rough openings often require custom framing before a modern impact unit goes in.
• Undersized doors on mainland homes. Because Hobe Sound is in Martin County and not part of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, some contractors spec non-impact doors on the mainland. That passes a visual inspection and fails an insurance claim later. Standard Florida Building Code impact-rated doors are required for all replacement fenestration in the wind-borne debris region. We do not install undersized doors, period.
• Warped jamb and seal failure on water-side double doors. When double French doors are set on a corroded threshold or without proper flashing, the slab shifts and the insulated glass unit loses its seal. You get fogging between the panes and a door that will not close square in July. This is a framing and flashing problem, not a door problem, and it is why we reframe rough openings rather than hang a new slab on a bad jamb.
