AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Tequesta
Door installation in Tequesta runs $1,800 to $7,500 for a standard entry or patio door, and $4,500 to $18,000 for impact-rated or custom units, with most jobs completed in one or two visits. Tequesta’s position between the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway means every door we install here has to stand up to salt air, humidity, and wind loads that inland homes never see. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing exactly that, with crews who know the village’s older CBS homes and the newer Intracoastal builds equally well. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll send a technician who measures twice and quotes in writing before anything gets ordered.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Tequesta’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We’re not a franchise that showed up in Tequesta last year. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 out of a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition, and the same principle has held for years across our communities: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Tequesta homeowners tell us they’d rather pay once for a door that closes square in July than twice for one that binds. That’s why we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and why every door carries our Done Right Promise. No arguing. No paperwork fights. If it isn’t right, we make it right.
What homeowners in Tequesta notice first is that a live person answers the phone, day or night. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a salt-corroded door jamb finally fails on a Friday afternoon, you’ll talk to someone who can help. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. That matters when you’ve lived in the same Tequesta house for twenty years and plan to stay another twenty.
Our Door Installation Services in Tequesta
Our Door Installation team handles everything from a single front entry to a full wall of folding glass, quoted side by side on paper so you see exactly what each manufacturer line costs. Here’s what we install most often in Tequesta.
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Tequesta homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and many still have the original entry door, or one that’s been patched so many times it no longer seals. A new fiberglass or impact-rated steel entry door in Tequesta runs $2,200 to $6,000 installed, depending on glass options and whether the jamb needs reframing. Swing doors on Intracoastal-facing lots take a beating from salt-laden air, so we set them with stainless hinges and marine-grade thresholds as standard.
Storm Doors
Tequesta’s humidity hovers above 75% year-round, which means a storm door isn’t just about ventilation. It’s a sacrificial layer that protects your main entry door from direct sun, driving rain off the Atlantic, and the constant salt haze that comes off the river. Storm door installation in Tequesta typically runs $900 to $1,800, and we stock units from Larson and EMCO with corrosion-resistant hardware that holds up better on coastal lots.
Double & French Doors
A pair of French doors opening onto a Tequesta patio is worth doing right, because the threshold is where water intrusion starts. We see it constantly: rot in the subfloor under an old French door, hidden until the old unit comes out. Double and French door installation in Tequesta runs $3,200 to $9,500, with impact-rated glass pushing toward the top end. We flash every sill with butyl tape and slope the threshold away from the house before the new doors go in.
Bifold & Folding Doors
For Tequesta homes on larger riverfront lots, a bifold or folding door wall is how you connect the interior to the water view. These are heavy units that require a properly supported header, and on older CBS homes the existing header is often undersized for current Palm Beach County code. Bifold door installation in Tequesta runs $8,000 to $22,000 depending on panel count and impact rating. We pull the permit, engineer the header, and handle every code upgrade in writing before work starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Tequesta we lean on brands that hold up to coastal conditions: CGI, PGT, and ES Windows are the ones we quote most often here. We don’t push one brand. We lay the options side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated, so you see what you’re buying. When you call us for service on an existing door in Tequesta, we stock common hardware and weatherstripping locally, which means less waiting on parts shipped from out of state.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames and seized rollers. Tequesta’s omnidirectional saltwater exposure means homes within a few hundred feet of the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal, or the Jupiter Inlet see door hardware corrode at nearly twice the rate of Jupiter Farms or Palm Beach Gardens. Aluminum-framed impact sliders installed in the 2000s on Intracoastal-facing lots often show heavy oxidation, seized rollers, and blown corner seals within 8 to 12 years.
- Original jalousie or louvered doors from the 1960s through 1980s. These single-pane units have no insulated glass and fail current high-wind codes outright. When a remodel or sale triggers a permit, the door has to come out and the opening gets brought fully up to code.
- Worn threshold sweeps and weatherstripping from constant humidity. Even doors with intact impact-rated glass leak air and water when the bottom sweep has degraded in Tequesta’s salt-laden air. We replace sweeps and adjust thresholds as a standalone service, and we also catch this during any window or door project.
- Undersized or rotted framing around old door openings. On a 1970s CBS ranch off Country Club Drive, our crew replaced a failed aluminum-framed slider with a ViewLux impact-rated unit. The original jamb was oxidized and the rollers seized from years of salt air off the Intracoastal, so we pulled the opening, reframed the undersized header to current code, and flashed the sill with butyl tape before setting the new door. Then we wrote the code-required upgrade costs into the contract before any wall was opened. That’s the difference between a square deal and a surprise invoice.

FAQs - Door Installation in Tequesta
Salt-laden air from the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal, and the Jupiter Inlet corrodes aluminum frames, door hardware, and threshold sweeps at nearly twice the rate seen in inland communities like Jupiter Farms. In Tequesta, aluminum-framed impact sliders often show seizure and frame oxidation within 8 to 12 years, which is roughly half their inland lifespan. We specify stainless hardware, marine-grade thresholds, and butyl flashing on every Tequesta door job because skipping those details means a callback in five years. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll walk your property before you commit.
Replacing a pre-1990s door in Tequesta usually triggers current Palm Beach County wind-load requirements, which means the opening may need a larger header, proper anchor bolts, and impact-rated glazing if the door faces an exposed elevation. Many 1960s to 1980s CBS ranch homes have headers that were sized for single-pane jalousie doors and don’t meet today’s 160 to 170 mph design wind speeds. We handle the permit, the engineering, and the upgrades, and we price them in writing before work starts. Call (754) 324-4646 for a written breakdown on your specific door.
If the insulated glass unit has lost its seal and fogged, you often don’t need to replace the whole door, but most Tequesta doors with fogged glass also have frame oxidation or worn rollers from salt air. We can re-glaze many units in place if the frame is sound, and we’ll tell you straight if the frame isn’t worth saving. Get an honest assessment and a fixed quote by calling (754) 324-4646.
We inspect first, and we write a rot allowance into the contract before we start. If we open the wall and find subfloor rot or a failed header that wasn’t visible before demo, we stop, photograph it, and get your written approval on the added cost before we cut anything else. You’re never billed for a change order you didn’t approve in writing. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll explain exactly how the inspection and allowance process works on a Tequesta door job.
We recommend marine-grade aluminum thresholds with a thermal break and a full-width vinyl or silicone sweep for Tequesta’s coastal conditions. Standard wood or hollow aluminum thresholds break down quickly in 75% plus humidity and salt exposure, and once the threshold fails, water gets into the subfloor. We set every exterior door with a sloped sill and butyl flashing before the threshold goes in. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free estimate that includes the right threshold for your elevation.
