Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm City’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’re not a franchise that parachutes into Palm City for a season. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every door we set in Palm City, from a builder-grade front entry in Martin Downs to a custom pivot door in a Riverbend custom home.
Our Door Installation team works in Palm City homes every week, and we know what Martin County inspectors look for because we sit across the desk from them on a regular basis. The Done Right Promise backs every install: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork and no argument. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not an add-on. It’s how we’ve done business since 2008 as part of this community.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You’ll see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs. No surprise line items on the bill, and most Palm City door jobs are completed in a single visit.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm City
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Palm City homes built in the 1980s and 1990s left the factory with a builder-grade steel or aluminum entry door that’s now 25 to 40 years old. The hinges sag, the threshold wears down, and the weatherstripping stops doing its job. We replace them with properly hung, impact-rated units where Martin County requires it, or with solid-core wood and fiberglass doors that actually seal against Palm City’s humid afternoons.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors are common across Palm City’s planned communities, from The Lakes to older sections near the St. Lucie River. The original units were almost always non-impact aluminum with single-pane glass. After three decades of salt-humid air, the frames corrode at the corners and the sashes bind in the middle. We set new impact-rated double doors with proper sill pans and flashing tape so summer storms don’t drive water under the threshold. This is the upgrade Palm City homeowners need most often.
Bifold & Folding Doors
A bifold door that opens a whole wall to a lanai or pool deck is one of the best upgrades for a Palm City home. We install multi-panel folding systems that meet Florida’s wind-borne debris requirements, which matters because Martin County enforces impact codes on any opening that faces the prevailing storm track. The hardware matters here: cheap rollers and undersized hinges fail fast in salt air. We use hardware rated for coastal exposure.
Pivot Doors
For custom homes and remodels in Palm City’s gated communities, a pivot door makes a statement at the entry. These are heavy units, often 300 pounds or more, and they demand a level of framing precision that a standard hinged door doesn’t. We set pivot doors with reinforced headers and adjustable pivot hardware so they swing true on day one and stay true ten years later.
Storm Doors & Arched & Custom Doors
Many Palm City homeowners add a storm door to protect a solid wood entry from sun and wind-driven rain. We also fabricate and install arched and fully custom doors to match original architectural details. If your HOA requires a specific profile or finish, we’ll pull the architectural guidelines and make sure the door complies before we order anything.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm City Homes
- Corroded aluminum jambs and sashes. Palm City sits in the tidal St. Lucie River basin, and salt-humid air reaches well west of the Intracoastal here. Aluminum door frames in even non-waterfront neighborhoods corrode faster than homeowners expect, especially around weep holes that stop draining.
- Missing or failed sill pans. Homes built on slab foundations in the 1980s and 1990s often lack proper sill pans under exterior doors. Summer afternoon storms in Palm City push water under thresholds, and without flashing tape and a pan, the interior trim rots from the bottom up.
- Non-impact glass with borrowed shutters. We regularly see Palm City doors where a previous contractor used non-impact glass and assumed a neighbor’s shutter permit would cover it. Martin County inspectors flag this every time, and the homeowner pays for a re-inspection plus the upgrade they thought they’d skipped.
- Builder-grade double doors with gaps at the bottom. These are common in Palm City’s master-planned communities. The original doors sag on weak hinges, creating visible daylight under the bottom rail. That gap lets humid air in, runs up your cooling bill, and invites bugs and water during storms.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm City
Yes. Martin County requires a permit for most exterior door replacements in Palm City because the county falls within Florida’s wind-borne debris region. Your 1990s sliding glass door almost certainly has non-impact single-pane glass, so replacing it triggers a mandatory impact-rated upgrade under the Florida Building Code. We pull the permit, handle the inspection, and stay through final sign-off. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll confirm whether your address needs a full impact door or just an approved one-for-one replacement.
Palm City sits in the tidal St. Lucie River basin, and salt-humid air travels far west of the Intracoastal. Aluminum frames on doors that were installed 25 to 40 years ago, before modern coastal finishes, corrode at the corners and around screw holes even in non-waterfront neighborhoods. Once the corrosion reaches the weep holes, water pools inside the track during storms and accelerates the damage. Replacement with impact-rated doors using corrosion-resistant hardware is the permanent fix. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free assessment.
The risk is humid air, water, and pests getting into your home every day. Gaps at the bottom of a double door mean the hinges have sagged or the threshold has settled, which is common in Palm City homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. We can sometimes re-hang the doors and replace the threshold and weatherstripping for $400 to $900. If the frames are corroded or the panels are warped, replacement with a properly set impact-rated double door is the better long-term spend, typically $3,600 to $9,200. Call (754) 324-4646 for an honest diagnosis.
Yes, many Palm City HOAs in master-planned communities like Riverbend and Martin Downs have architectural guidelines that restrict door styles, finishes, and glass types. We pull the HOA guidelines before ordering anything, so you don’t end up with a door the board makes you replace. Impact-rated doors are almost always approved because Martin County requires them anyway. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll check your community’s rules before you commit to a design.
Replacing only the glass panel in a French door is possible, and it won’t void a builder’s structural warranty if the work is done correctly and the door’s frame and hardware remain intact. The key is matching the glass type to the original unit or upgrading to impact-rated glazing if Martin County requires it. We document the work and register the glass warranty in writing. If the door frame itself is too corroded to hold new glass safely, we’ll tell you straight. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free estimate on glass replacement.
If you live in Palm City and your doors are binding, corroding, or just showing their age, call (754) 324-4646. We’ll measure, quote, and register your warranties in writing. Done right, the first time. Written by Dale Kessler, Owner at TruePane Windows & Doors.
