Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Sunrise
Door installation in Sunrise, FL typically runs $850 to $4,200 depending on the door type, material, and whether the opening needs structural work for HVHZ compliance. Most single entry door replacements in Sunrise’s 1970s and 1980s concrete-block homes take one full day once the product arrives, which for us is usually two to four weeks from signed approval to install day. If you live in Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, or anywhere along Oakland Park Boulevard or Nob Hill Road, call us at (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer about your door, your opening, and your price. We’ve been working in Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone long enough to know that a door in Sunrise is not a simple swap: it is a code-governed, weather-sealed, board-approved structural decision. That is the work we do.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We are a second-generation glazier operation led by Dale Kessler, and we have been setting doors and windows in South Florida since 2008, with a craft tradition that runs more than years deep. In Sunrise, that matters in a specific way. This city sits fully inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every door we install must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval. We do not treat that as a paperwork footnote. It is the reason we pull the product approval documents and register manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. The Keystone Standard, as Dale puts it: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, no arguing later. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
When homeowners in Sunrise ask us how we handle the details, we point to the Done Right Promise. If a door we install is not right, we make it right without a paperwork fight. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and show up when we say we will. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you never sit through a voicemail tree when you have a door that binds after a July storm. That is not a feature; it is the baseline.
Our Door Installation Services in Sunrise
Entry and Swing Doors in Sunrise
Entry doors in Sunrise carry more load than most homeowners realize. The combination of western Broward’s open-fetch wind exposure and relentless humidity means a builder-grade steel door from 1985 is often rusting at the bottom rail, with weatherstripping that has turned brittle and let rain wick into the threshold. We replace entry and swing doors with impact-rated units that carry full Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County approval, then seal the subsill so the threshold does not leak during the first summer storm. A typical entry door replacement in a Sunrise CBS home runs $1,200 to $3,400, including new hardware and a fusion-welded frame where needed.

Double and French Doors in Sunrise
Double doors are the most common point of water intrusion and wind failure in Sunrise’s mid-century ranches and larger estate lots near the Sawgrass Expressway corridor. The original aluminum French doors from the 1970s and 80s have sagged on their hinges, cracked their mull seams, and lost whatever thermal break they once had. We install double and French doors with interlocking astragals, reinforced top and bottom flush bolts, and either impact laminated glass or fully impact-rated panels, depending on what your association requires and what your opening will carry. In Sunrise, a full French door replacement on an eight-foot opening usually lands between $2,800 and $5,500, including removal of the corroded old frame and subsill replacement.

Bifold and Folding Doors in Sunrise
Folding door systems are popular in the larger glass-walled homes on Sunrise’s western edge, where owners want to open an entire wall to a patio or pool. The challenge in Sunrise is that a folding door is essentially a continuous run of hinged glass panels, and every panel has to seal against the next under wind load. We install bifold doors with concealed multi-point locks, thermally broken frames, and top-hung or bottom-rolling hardware sized for the actual opening dimensions, not just a catalog. Prices for a three-panel folding door in Sunrise start around $4,500 and run upward from there, depending on panel count and glass package.

Pivot Doors in Sunrise
Pivot doors are the architectural statement pieces showing up in Sunrise’s newer master-planned clusters and rebuilt post-storm properties. A pivot door carries its weight on a top and bottom pivot hinge rather than traditional butt hinges, which lets homeowners go wider and heavier with glass, solid wood, or steel-clad slabs. The tradeoff is that a pivot door in the HVHZ needs a reinforced header and a precisely leveled threshold, and the wind-pressure rating has to be verified against the actual panel size. We install pivot doors with concealed closers, drop seals, and stainless pivots spec’d to the leaf weight, usually $5,000 to $9,000 for a properly engineered unit in Sunrise. The number does not surprise the homeowner; we price it in writing before the first cut is made.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and what matters to a Sunrise customer is that we know which lines carry the right HVHZ approvals. Our crews work regularly with Jeld-Wen, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we stock common replacement parts and hardware for Sunrise’s older aluminum door inventory so turnaround is faster than ordering blind from a distributor. When we quote a door in Sunrise, we put manufacturer options side by side on paper with warranty durations stated, so you can see exactly what you are buying and what each line is rated to withstand. We are also an authorized installer for CWS and ECO Window Systems, which matters because not every line is approved for every opening in the HVHZ.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
After years of working in Sunrise, certain failure modes repeat themselves. Most of them trace back to two facts: the city’s doors were built before modern impact codes existed, and the humidity never stops working on aluminum.
- Contractors install a standard Florida-approved door in Sunrise, and it fails the Broward County inspection. This happens far more often than it should, and it is an expensive lesson. Sunset rules require Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval on every door, not the broader Florida product approval accepted farther north. We pull approval documents up front so the door we set is the door that passes.
- Condo boards in Sunrise Lakes approve mismatched door models across units. One phase can end up with five different slab profiles and three different glass tints. That creates aesthetic drift and a future enforcement headache for the association. We help boards standardize on one or two approved models that all meet the building’s structural and wind-load requirements.
- The original aluminum jamb is reused without replacing the corroded subsill. A new impact door set into an old jamb with a rotted subsill will leak at the threshold during the first summer storm. In Sunrise, where older sliders commonly sit at grade level with poor flashing, the subsill and pan detail are not optional.
- Builder warranty confusion in newer developments. Owners near newer master-planned clusters east of the Sawgrass call us worried that replacing a builder-grade door will void their structural warranty. In most cases, a licensed door installer pulling proper permits and setting an HVHZ-approved product will not void the builder’s structural coverage, but we walk through the paperwork with you before cutting anything.
Pricing for Door Installation in Sunrise, FL
We quote doors the way a glazier should: by the opening, not by a phone script. Here are real ranges for the Sunrise market. A standard single entry door replacement runs $1,200 to $3,400. A double French door on an eight-foot opening runs $2,800 to $5,500. A storm door runs $550 to $1,600. A folding door starts around $4,500. A pivot door runs $5,000 to $9,000. Those numbers include removal of the old unit, disposal, installation, hardware, and the flashing and subsill work required by HVHZ code. The biggest variables are the condition of the rough opening, whether we need to pull a building-wide permit for a condo project, and the glass package on the door you choose. We charge fair prices, we put them in writing as a line-item quote, and we do not add surprise charges on the back end. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on the specific door you are planning.

FAQs - Door Installation in Sunrise
Sunrise is entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every exterior door replacement requires Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval. A standard Florida product approval is not sufficient here. We verify the approval documents before installation and register both warranty layers in writing, so the door you get is the door the inspector will accept.
The condo board has the final say on exterior appearance and consistency, but the door still has to meet HVHZ product approval standards. In Sunrise Lakes and similar associations, boards often require uniformity across units, and that is often reasonable for long-term maintenance. We can help you or your board select an approved model that satisfies both the association’s aesthetic rules and Broward County’s structural code, then coordinate the building-wide permit so the replacement is done once, correctly.
In almost every case we see in Sunrise, the corrosion on the frame has compromised the door’s structural integrity and its seal against wind-driven rain. You will likely need to replace the entire door, not just the frame. We also replace the subsill and pan flashing beneath it, because the old subsill is usually the reason the frame corroded in the first place. Patching the frame without addressing the subsill means you will be back here after the next storm.
You can physically install a labeled impact door yourself, but because Sunrise sits in the HVHZ, the work still has to pass a Broward County inspection. Homeowners who complete their own door work can face inspection problems if the flashing, subsill treatment, and product approval documentation are not perfect. Given what is at stake in a storm, we recommend a licensed contractor who works in Sunrise routinely and knows what the inspectors look for. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and we will handle the permit and inspection for you.
A door replacement by a licensed contractor pulling a proper permit and setting an HVHZ-approved product will not typically void the builder’s structural warranty on newer Sunrise homes. We review the builder warranty paperwork with you before we start, and we document the permit, the product approval, and the installation detail so your warranty chain stays clean. If the builder has specific installer requirements or approved contractor lists, we will work within them. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through what your specific builder requires.
