AfterTrusted Door Installation for Fountainebleau Homeowners
Door installation in Fountainebleau typically runs $850-$4,800 depending on whether you’re replacing a standard entry door, installing a hurricane-rated system, or adding a French double door. Most single-door replacements are completed in one day once the unit arrives. The real question isn’t whether you can find someone to hang a door, it’s whether the door will still be square, sealed, and secure five years from now. That’s where we come in.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been installing doors in Fountainebleau and surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods since 2011. Ed Winslow put his name on this company, and he still answers the phone. We install Therma-Tru entry systems, heavy-gauge storm doors, and impact-rated front doors built for South Florida wind loads. If you’re tired of doors that stick in summer humidity or rattle during afternoon thunderstorms, call (727) 620-6983 and talk to a real person who knows doors.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we install in Fountainebleau starts with a site inspection, a written line-item quote, and a conversation about what you actually need. No upselling, no vague estimates. Here’s what we handle:
Entry Doors
A proper entry door does more than open and close. It seals against humidity, insulates against the Fountainebleau afternoon heat, and sets the first impression for your whole home. We install fiberglass, wood-grain, and steel entry doors sized to your existing rough opening, with new weatherstripping, threshold, and hardware included. Most entry door replacements are a same-day job once your door is ordered.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Fountainebleau sits in a wind-borne debris region, which means a standard door won’t cut it when a real storm rolls through. We install impact-rated front doors that meet Miami-Dade County product approval standards, paired with reinforced frames and multi-point locking systems. These doors protect more than your entryway, they protect the envelope of your home from pressure changes that can lift a roof. If your current front door isn’t impact rated, it’s worth a serious look at our Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors before the next hurricane season.
French & Double Doors
French doors bring light and flow into a living space, but they’re only as good as their alignment. In Fountainebleau’s humidity, wood French doors swell and shift in ways that cause gaps, sticking, and air leaks within a couple years if they aren’t installed precisely. We install fiberglass and impact-rated French & Double Doors from Therma-Tru and other approved manufacturers, with careful attention to threshold sealing and astragal alignment. Done right, these doors won’t leak air or water even during a driving rain.
Replacement Doors
When a door is too far gone to adjust, shim, and seal, replacement is the honest answer. You’ll know it’s time when the door won’t latch without lifting the handle, daylight shows around the frame, or the lock feels like it’s fighting the deadbolt. We remove the old door, inspect and repair the rough opening, install the new unit square and level, and haul away the debris. Our replacement door installs include new casing, insulation around the frame, and a final air-seal test.
Storm & Exterior Doors
A storm door adds a buffer against wind, rain, and insects while letting you keep the main door open for airflow. We install full-view and ventilating storm doors with tempered glass or impact-rated lites depending on your exposure. These doors are also a practical upgrade for side and rear entries that take direct weather. We’ll match the finish and hardware to your existing door so it looks like it was always there.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
Therma-Tru is our go-to for entry and French door systems. We’ve installed hundreds of Therma-Tru fiberglass doors in Miami-Dade, and we know their frame systems, thresholds, and adjustment points well enough that our installs don’t come back with callbacks. Fiberglass doors from Therma-Tru resist the humidity warping that kills wood doors in Fountainebleau, and they take paint beautifully.
We also work with ViewLux for specialty glass door applications and Mr-Glass for custom glass inserts and storm door lites. Whether you already own one of these brands or you’re shopping for a new door, we can install it, adjust it, and stand behind it. If you have a different manufacturer, that’s fine too, our installers work with all major door systems and will tell you honestly if a brand has a history of problems in our climate.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- You can see daylight around the door frame. If light gets through, so does air, water, and noise. That gap means the door is out of square or the weatherstripping has failed, and in Fountainebleau’s rainy season it’s an open invitation for water damage.
- The door sticks or won’t latch without a fight. High humidity causes wood and even some metal doors to swell and shift. If you’re lifting or shoving the door closed every day, the frame is likely out of adjustment and simple fixes won’t hold.
- Your energy bill climbs in summer. A poorly sealed door lets conditioned air escape and hot, humid air pour in. Fountainebleau summers are brutal enough without paying to cool the whole neighborhood. A new, properly sealed door pays for itself faster than most people expect.
- The door is visibly sagging or the hinges are pulling out. Once hinge screws strip or the frame starts to pull away, the door’s weight is working against the structure. This isn’t a maintenance issue anymore, it’s a safety and security problem that needs a proper reinstallation or replacement.
- Your front door isn’t impact rated and you live in Fountainebleau. We’re in a wind-borne debris zone, full stop. A standard builder-grade door can fail during a hurricane, and when the door goes, the pressure change inside the house can blow out windows and lift the roof. Upgrading to an impact-rated door is one of the smartest investments a South Florida homeowner can make.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
We’re not vague about what happens when you hire us. Here’s exactly how a Fountainebleau door installation goes with Winslow Windows & Doors:
- 1
Free on-site evaluation. We come to your home, measure the rough opening, inspect the existing frame, and talk through what you want. We check for water damage, rot, and squareness before we quote anything, so the number we give you is the number you pay.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. You get a written quote with the door, hardware, installation labor, and any framing repair broken out separately. No trip charge inside our home county, and we honor the quote. If another company wrote you an estimate, bring it to us for a free second opinion.
- 3
Product ordering and prep. Once you approve, we order your door from the manufacturer with the exact sizing, swing, finish, and hardware you chose. For impact-rated doors, we confirm Miami-Dade product approval so you don’t get a nasty surprise during inspection.
- 4
Installation day. Our uniformed, background-checked installers arrive on time, remove the old door, repair or adjust the rough opening, install the new door with shims and insulation, and seal every gap. We use a level and square on every plane, not just a quick eyeball.
- 5
Final walkthrough and cleanup. We test the door, you test the door. We adjust the threshold, check the weatherstripping, and vacuum the work area. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do, which means we don’t leave until it’s right.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Fountainebleau?
A standard entry door replacement in Fountainebleau typically runs $850-$2,200 including the door, hardware, and labor. French and double door installations usually fall between $2,400 and $4,800 depending on size and whether you need impact-rated glass. Impact-rated front doors can add $1,500 or more to the base price, which is the cost of the reinforced frame, multi-point lock, and Miami-Dade approved construction.
What affects your price? The door material (fiberglass vs. steel vs. wood), the size of the rough opening, whether framing repair is needed, and whether you’re going with impact-rated construction. The biggest mistake we see is homeowners accepting a cheap quote that doesn’t include new weatherstripping, threshold replacement, or framing repair, and then getting hit with change orders after the old door is off. Our quotes include everything, and the Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it if something isn’t right. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount, and any repair over $200 carries $40 off. Call (727) 620-6983 for an exact quote, and remember that estimates are always free.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Fountainebleau
Door installation is the process of removing an old exterior or interior door and installing a new one, including the frame, hinges, weatherstripping, threshold, and hardware.

In Fountainebleau, proper installation also means accounting for humidity, wind loads, and Miami-Dade building code requirements.
