Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011. Our crews replace doors throughout Wellington weekly. We know which subdivisions have 1980s aluminum sliders failing insurer inspections, which communities need custom millwork for non-standard openings, and which equestrian estate projects require designer coordination before a single order is placed. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’re the local alternative to faceless national chains. When you call us about a door in Wellington, you get an owner-operated company that answers the phone 24/7, sends background-checked, uniformed technicians to your home, and gives you a written line-item quote before any work begins. Our Door Installation team has been handling Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements since 2011, and we carry the Florida Product Approval documentation Wellington inspectors and insurers demand.
Customers throughout Wellington, from Greenview Shores to Palm Beach Polo, call us when their original aluminum doors start failing. What we hear most: the big-box store sent a subcontracted crew, the quote was vague, and nobody could answer questions about impact ratings. We do it differently. We publish our address and license number. We install authorized brands we’re actually certified to install. And every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, period.
Our Door Installation Services in Wellington
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
In Wellington, a front door isn’t just an entrance. It’s the first thing an insurer checks during a wind mitigation inspection. Our impact-rated entry doors carry Florida Product Approval numbers and are built to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, matching the wind-borne debris region codes that apply to every door we install in Wellington’s 33414 and 33449 zip codes. We fix the non-standard rough openings common in 1980s concrete-block homes with custom millwork and jamb extensions, so the impact system fits cleanly without butchering your stucco.
Replacement Doors
The original aluminum doors in Wellington’s tract homes are now 30-50 years old. Hinges sag, thresholds rot, weatherstripping crumbles in the humidity, and the single-pane glass does nothing for your cooling bill. We remove the old unit, inspect the rough opening for water damage, install the new door to Palm Beach County code, and haul away the debris. If you’re replacing a patio slider, expect a conversation about impact ratings and the insurance compliance notice on your kitchen counter.
French & Double Doors
Wellington’s equestrian estates and custom homes frequently specify oversized French doors opening onto pool decks, patios, and gardens. These are not commodity openings. The glass package matters, the frame welding matters, and the design pressure rating matters. We work directly with your architect or designer to nail the low-E and SHGC specifications before ordering, because a 14-week lead time on custom insulated glass doesn’t care about your finish date. We quote it honestly, fix the price in writing, and install to Miami-Dade NOA standards for every large-missile rated opening.
Storm & Exterior Doors
A storm door in Wellington takes a beating from UV radiation, afternoon thunderstorms, and year-round humidity. We recommend and install exterior doors with marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant frames so you’re not replacing a rusted hinge in 18 months. For homes that need a second layer of protection or a screen for cross-ventilation, we size the unit to your exterior jamb and install it true, so it never drags or gaps at the corner.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for Wellington doors we regularly install PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru systems. That matters because these manufacturers require certification to install their impact-rated products properly. We stock common hardware and replacement parts for these brands, which means faster turnaround when you need a hinge, roller, or handle assembly matched to your existing door. No generic knockoff parts. No mismatched finishes.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Original aluminum sliders failing insurance inspections. The single-pane glass and missing Florida Product Approval number on a 1980s patio door triggers a carrier non-renewal notice. Once the 30-day compliance window starts, you’re not buying a door, you’re buying time. We turn around impact-rated replacements fast and provide every NOA document your agent needs.
- Non-standard rough openings from the 1980s building boom. Wellington’s concrete-block homes often have door openings that don’t match today’s stock sizes from any big-box retailer. We custom-mill jambs and thresholds or order retrofitted impact systems sized to your exact rough opening.
- Rusted hardware from humidity and storm exposure. Wellington’s year-round moisture and salt-laced air eat through cheap door hardware in a season or two. We use marine-grade stainless hinges, multipoint locks, and corrosion-resistant tracks on every exterior door we install.
- Warped frames and seal failure from extreme UV. South Florida sun destroys gaskets and weatherstripping on aging aluminum frames. When the frame itself is warped, a new door slab won’t fix it. We assess the jamb condition during the free measure and quote a complete, code-compliant replacement when that’s what the opening actually needs.

What Door Installation Costs in Wellington
Impact windows in Wellington generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hung units between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings push to $2,500-$5,000 per unit. Whole-home packages across windows and doors typically land from $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the number in Wellington specifically: opening count, whether your home sits in the designated wind-borne debris region (yes, it does), floor height on two-story tract homes, and frame material. Aluminum replacement is straightforward; custom wood millwork from a designer spec is not. We provide a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote, so you see exactly where the dollars go before you order.
Florida Pays You Back
Wellington homeowners can stack real incentives on impact door work. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (around $75-$150 in Palm Beach County), many Wellington homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging about 25% on the windstorm portion. We don’t promise numbers your carrier hasn’t approved, but we’ll walk you through the paperwork and point you to the right inspectors.
Here’s the comparison we make most often in Wellington: impact windows and doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters mean you’re still climbing a ladder in August, storing panels in the garage, and hoping they’re installed before a storm hits. Permanent impact-rated openings mean the protection is already in place. The same units that satisfy your insurer also block UV, cut noise, and lower cooling bills year-round. For Wellington homeowners staring at a compliance deadline, impact doors solve the actual problem, while shutters just park it until next season.

FAQs - Door Installation in Wellington
Because the roller repair was never the real issue. Your 1980s aluminum slider has no Florida Product Approval number on the jamb, and Palm Beach County insurers now flag that during wind mitigation inspections. Once the carrier sends the 30-day compliance notice, a roller replacement doesn’t fix the citation; a full impact-rated replacement does. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll confirm in the free measure whether your unit qualifies or needs replacement, and give you the documentation your agent wants.
Custom oversized entry doors on Wellington’s equestrian estates typically run 4-6 weeks from order to delivery, depending on glass package and manufacturer backlog. The glass is the schedule, not the labor. We fix your price in writing before ordering, which means the 6-week wait is the honest number, not the optimistic one. Installation itself is usually a single day once the unit lands in our warehouse.
Sometimes, yes, but not always. If the existing wood jamb is square, structurally sound, and deep enough to accept an impact-rated system, we can retrofit within the original rough opening. If Wellington’s humidity has rotted the threshold or warped the jamb, the frame goes too. We’ll inspect the opening during the free measure and tell you the truth either way.
Most Wellington homeowners see a 15-25% reduction in cooling load on rooms with large west-facing or south-facing sliders after switching from single-pane aluminum to Low-E impact glass. That’s not a vendor estimate, that’s the physics of SHGC and U-factor on a 90-square-foot glass opening in Palm Beach County’s climate. The exact dollar figure depends on your thermostat habits, your AC’s SEER rating, and your FPL rate plan, but the directional change is always meaningful.
Because the aluminum or steel frame is exposed to standing moisture at the threshold, and most stock storm doors use hardware that isn’t galvanized for South Florida’s humidity and storm cycles. The fix isn’t more paint; it’s replacing the unit with a corrosion-resistant frame and marine-grade hardware rated for coastal exposure. We stock those options and install them throughout Wellington’s neighborhoods.
What Your Wellington Home Actually Needs
Here’s the Wellington-specific truth no generic door installation page will tell you. Your 1980s patio slider isn’t a repair job. It’s an insurance deadline. Those dense subdivisions of concrete-block homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, the ones around Greenview Shores, Palm Beach Polo, and the equestrian corridors, are now hitting insurer non-renewal notices in the same 12-month window. No neighboring city has this exact concentration of aging aluminum fenestration colliding with Palm Beach County’s collapsing property-insurance market all at once.
Last month our crew rolled up to a Greenview Shores ranch where the homeowner had called about a “sticking patio slider.” The aluminum track was oxidized, the rollers had disintegrated, and there was no Florida Product Approval number on the jamb, and the carrier’s 30-day compliance notice was taped to the fridge. By the end of the visit we had ordered a PGT impact-rated slider with a laminated glass interlayer and Miami-Dade NOA, and the homeowner had a fixed written price before we ever cut a check.
You’re not buying a door the way you buy a dishwasher. You’re bringing your house into compliance with wind-borne debris codes while eliminating the failing aluminum opening that’s bleeding conditioned air into your backyard. That’s the work. We do it every week in Wellington, and we do it with a Done Right Promise a national chain can’t match.
