AfterTrusted Door Installation for Westgate Homeowners
Door installation in Westgate typically costs between $400 and $2,800 depending on whether we’re installing a standard entry door, a hurricane-rated front door, or a set of French doors. Most installations are completed in a single day, and we answer the phone live around the clock when you’re ready to talk pricing. Ed Winslow has owned Winslow Windows & Doors since 2011, and his name is on every job we do in Westgate, from a simple storm door to a full replacement entry system.
We’re not a national chain that subcontracts your project to whoever picks up the ticket. We’re the one down the road, with a published address, a license number you can verify, and technicians who arrive in uniform with background checks already completed. When you call (561) 468-6136, a real person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state. That matters when a door won’t latch at 9 p.m. or a storm is rolling toward Westgate and you need honest advice now.
What we’ve learned in over 15 years serving Westgate and the surrounding communities is that homeowners don’t want a door. They want the door to close tight, seal out the humidity, stand up to wind, and look right from the street. That’s the standard we build to, and it’s backed by our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

What Our Door Installation Service Includes
We handle the full spectrum of door installation in Westgate, and each type of door has its own installation demands. Here’s exactly what each service covers and what you can expect when we show up at your home.
Entry Doors
Your entry door takes more abuse than any other door in the house. Sun, rain, humidity swings, and daily use all work against the frame, the hinges, and the weatherstripping. In Westgate, the salt air accelerates corrosion on hardware and thresholds faster than inland homes ever have to deal with.
We install entry doors as complete systems, not just a slab hung on old framing. That means we inspect the rough opening, address any rot or sag, set the new frame square and level, insulate the gaps, and install fresh threshold seals. Winslow Windows & Doors carries Therma-Tru entry systems, which give you a steel or fiberglass door with excellent thermal performance and a classic look.
After install, we walk you through the hardware, the deadbolt throw, and the adjustments. Then we clean up. You shouldn’t know we were there except for the new door that closes with a solid thunk instead of a rattle.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Westgate sits in a wind zone where building codes require impact-rated protection on any exterior opening, and a standard decorative door won’t meet that bar. A hurricane-proof front door is engineered and tested to take debris impacts without breaching, keeping your home’s envelope intact when the pressure drops and the wind picks up.
Winslow Windows & Doors installs PGT and CGI impact-rated entry doors that carry the Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code approvals Westgate inspectors look for. These aren’t just storm shutters disguised as doors. They’re full door systems with reinforced frames, multi-point locking, and impact glass or composite cores designed to stay in the wall during a named storm.
We pull permits where Westgate requires them, and we install to the code requirements for your specific wind zone. If an inspector comes through, we want your door to pass the first time, no rework, no delays.
French & Double Doors
French doors give you light, flow, and an open feel between rooms or out to a patio. They’re also the doors most likely to sag, bind, or leak if the installation isn’t dead level. A French door install is a geometry problem more than anything else: both panels have to meet in the middle without rubbing, the hinge lines have to be plumb, and the astragal has to seat cleanly.
We install French and double door systems in Westgate with extra attention to the threshold and flashing details that keep driving rain outside where it belongs. We also check the existing opening for out-of-square framing before we ever set the new door. Fixing the opening first is the difference between French doors that work for twenty years and doors that start sticking before the first summer ends.
Whether you want an impact-rated set from PGT or a classic wood-look fiberglass pair from Therma-Tru, we’ll spec the right swing, the right hardware, and the right threshold for your specific opening.
Replacement Doors
A Replacement Door shouldn’t mean “a new slab in an old frame.” When the frame is rotted at the corners, when the hinges have pulled out of the jamb, or when the house has settled enough that the opening is no longer square, just swapping the slab is a patch job that will fail.
Winslow Windows & Doors evaluates the full opening on every replacement door job in Westgate. We check the header, the king and jack studs, the sill, and the existing flashing. If the structure is sound, we install a new pre-hung unit in the right size. If it’s not sound, we tell you before we start and give you a written line-item quote for the repair work, not a vague change order after the fact.
You’ll know the full price before we touch your wall. No surprises on the invoice. That’s how we’ve done business since 2011, and it’s why Westgate neighbors call us for replacement doors instead of rolling the dice with a big-box installer.
Storm & Exterior Doors
A storm door is the first line of defense for your primary entry door against rain, wind, and the Westgate sun. A good one adds ventilation options, a second layer of glass, and some extra insulation without sacrificing curb appeal.
We install storm doors from Therma-Tru in standard and custom sizes, with proper drainage at the base and a clean finish inside and out. We also handle exterior side doors, garage entry doors, and utility doors with the same care we’d put into your front entrance.
Every exterior door in Westgate needs to handle our humidity without swelling, our sun without fading, and our storms without rattling. We spec hardware and seals accordingly, and we stand behind the install with the Done Right Promise.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, the most widely specified entry door brand in the country, and we’ve installed enough of them in Westgate to know their hardware patterns, their hinge prep, and their adjustment quirks inside and out. If you want a Therma-Tru fiberglass door that looks like wood but won’t warp in Florida humidity, we can spec it, order it, and set it perfectly the first time.
We also install PGT impact-rated door systems storm doors. PGT is built in Florida for Florida, and their impact doors carry the testing certifications Westgate inspectors want to see. ViewLux gives us a strong option for storm doors with good ventilation and clean lines. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we’re equipped to handle the removal and disposal of your old door and the installation of the new one with no drama.
Every door install we do follows the same standard regardless of brand: square framing, proper flashing, solid hardware, clean trim, and a walkthrough before we leave. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- The door rubs or sticks in the frame. A door that scrapes the jamb or needs a shoulder to close is telling you the frame has shifted, the hinges are worn, or the slab has warped. In Westgate humidity, wood doors swell and bind seasonally. If adjusting the hinges doesn’t fix it, the door and frame are likely past saving, and a new pre-hung unit will close properly from day one.
- You can see daylight around the edges or under the door. If light gets through, so does air, water, and bugs. Gaps around the perimeter mean the weatherstripping has failed or the door was never set properly in the first place. A properly installed door in Westgate should seal tight against our summer downpours and keep conditioned air inside where it belongs.
- The door is soft to the touch, or paint won’t stick. Soft spots, bubbling paint, or visible rot at the bottom rail mean moisture has gotten into the core of the door. Once rot sets in, the structural integrity is compromised, and no amount of patching brings it back. The fix is a new door rated for Florida exposure.
- After a storm, it’s hard to open or close. Wind events put enormous pressure on door frames, and even if there’s no visible damage, the racking can leave a door bound up or loose. If your door doesn’t operate smoothly after each storm season, the frame may be compromised in ways that only get worse over time.
- You’re using a prop or a chair to keep it shut. A door that won’t stay latched without furniture holding it closed is a security risk, plain and simple. The strike plate may have shifted, the frame may have pulled away, or the hardware may be shot. Whatever the cause, a door that doesn’t lock properly is a door that needs attention now.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
Here’s what happens when you call Winslow Windows & Doors for door installation in Westgate. We keep it straightforward because you should never wonder what’s next.
- 1
You call, we answer, we schedule. A real person picks up at (561) 468-6136, day or night. We ask about your door, your home, and what’s driving the replacement. Then we book a time that works for you. If you’re inside our home county, there’s no trip charge for the estimate.
- 2
We measure and assess onsite. Ed’s technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work. We measure the rough opening, check the existing frame for square, look for rot or water damage, and talk through what you want. We also review any HOA or code requirements specific to Westgate.
- 3
You get a written, line-item quote. Before we touch a tool, you know the total. Materials, labor, disposal, hardware, flashing, trim, permit fees if needed. Every line spelled out. No allowances that balloon later, no change order bait. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it, and our seniors and veterans discount is 10% off, every time.
- 4
We install, and we do it right. Old door comes out. Opening gets repaired if it needs it. New unit goes in square and level, properly flashed, properly insulated, properly sealed. We test the door repeatedly: open it, close it, lock it, unlock it, spray it with water to verify the seal. If it doesn’t pass our own inspection, it doesn’t get left behind.
- 5
We walk you through and clean up. You’ll see how the hardware works, how to adjust anything adjustable, and what the warranty covers before we leave. We haul away the old door and all debris. Then the Done Right Promise kicks in, and it doesn’t expire. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Westgate?
A standard entry door replacement in Westgate typically runs $400 to $1,200 for a basic steel or fiberglass unit with standard hardware. If you’re going with a hurricane-rated front door from PGT or CGI, expect to budget $1,800 to $2,800 depending on the size, the impact rating, and the finish package. French and double door installs generally fall in the $1,500 to $2,500 range, and storm doors are the most affordable option, usually $300 to $700 installed.
What moves the price the most is the condition of your existing opening. If the frame is square and the structure is sound, the install is straightforward. If we find rot in the king studs or a sagging header, the repair work gets added as its own line item so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Material grade matters too. Impact-rated glass, composite cores, multi-point locks, and premium finishes all add cost, but they also buy performance and longevity.
Here’s a practical breakdown of what Westgate homeowners typically see:
- Storm door install: $300-$700
- Standard entry door replacement: $400-$1,200
- French or double door system: $1,500-$2,500
- Hurricane-rated front entry door: $1,800-$2,800
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item quote that separates materials from labor and shows exactly what’s included. Our estimates are free, and we don’t pad them. We’d rather give you a straight price and earn the job than play the lowball-and-change-order game that’s common in this industry.
