When you need a new entry door or a swinging patio door in Martin County, you are looking for more than just a barrier between your home and the outside world.

When You Need Entry & Swing Doors
In our experience, homeowners in Stuart often wait too long to address door issues. Because our climate is humid and salt-heavy, small problems with a door frame or hinge quickly become structural liabilities. We recommend calling us for an evaluation if you notice any of the following symptoms:
- Binding or Rubbing: If your door scrapes against the threshold or the frame, it is often a sign that the house has settled or the hinges have worn down. In the intense heat of a Stuart summer, wood frames can swell, making a slightly misaligned door impossible to open or close properly.
- Water Intrusion: If you see water pooling on your interior floor after a heavy rain, the threshold or the weatherstripping has failed. This is a common issue with older doors that were not installed with proper flashing techniques.
- Drafts and Light Leaks: If you can see daylight around the edges of your door when it is closed, you are losing air conditioning and inviting pests into your home. This indicates that the seal is compromised.
- Corroded Hardware: The salt air in our coastal communities is hard on metal. If your hinges, locksets, or threshold plates are pitting or rusting, they are losing their structural integrity and pose a security risk.
- Faded or Peeling Finishes: UV exposure in Florida is relentless. If the finish on your entry door is chalking or peeling, the underlying material is likely being damaged by the sun.
- Outdated Security: If your current door lacks modern multi-point locking mechanisms or impact-rated glass, it does not provide the level of protection that newer, engineered doors offer for Florida homes.
These issues are not merely inconveniences. They are signals that your home’s envelope is compromised. When you call (754) 324-4646, we send a technician who can assess whether a repair is sufficient or if the unit requires replacement.
Our Entry & Swing Doors Process
TruePane Windows & Doors operates on the principle that the installation is the most important part of the purchase. A high-end door installed incorrectly will perform like a low-end door. We follow a strict process to ensure your door functions correctly for years to come.
- Detailed On-Site Measurement: We do not guess. Our technicians arrive at your home, measure the rough opening, and assess the condition of the existing sub-floor and framing. We check for rot or structural settling that might affect the new door.
- Side-by-Side Product Selection: We bring samples and manufacturer literature from brands like PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. We show you the differences in impact resistance, thermal efficiency, and hardware options on paper so you know exactly what you are paying for.
- Preparation and Removal: We carefully remove the old unit, ensuring the surrounding drywall or stucco is protected. We inspect the rough opening for any moisture damage or rot in the wood framing, which is common in older Stuart homes. If we find damage, we address it before the new door goes in.
- Precision Installation: We set the door, shim it to ensure it is perfectly level and plumb, and secure it to the structural framing using the manufacturer’s specified fasteners. This is where many installers cut corners, but we ensure the frame is perfectly square.
- Flashing and Sealing: We apply high-grade, code-compliant flashing and sealants to prevent water intrusion. This step is critical in our climate to protect your home from moisture damage.
- The Keystone Standard Registration: Before we leave your driveway, we register your manufacturer warranty and our own workmanship warranty in writing. You receive a copy of all documentation. There are no paperwork fights and no arguing if an issue arises later.
We are a company that plans to be in town for decades to come. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home with the same care they would use in their own mother’s house. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise.

FAQs - Entry & Swing Doors
How much does it cost to replace an entry door in Stuart?
Replacing an entry door in Stuart typically costs between $1,800 and $4,500, depending on the door material, impact rating, and hardware requirements. We provide upfront, written quotes for every job, so you know the exact cost before we start. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free estimate.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a swinging door?
If the issue is minor, such as a loose hinge or worn weatherstripping, a repair is often the most cost-effective solution. However, if the door has rot, significant water damage, or lacks the necessary impact ratings for our area, replacement with a durable option like Storm Doors is usually the better long-term investment.
