We’ve installed and replaced doors across Hobe Sound since 2012, from the single-family homes near Jonathan Dickinson State Park to the waterfront properties along the Indian River Lagoon. The salt air here is real, and it does real damage to steel frames and untreated wood jambs. We’ve documented the corrosion patterns on 18,000+ openings, and we specify materials accordingly. Every job is governed by the Haven Standard, which means the price we write is the price you pay, and every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number. That’s Haven Clause 3: Verified Crews. No exceptions.

What Our Door Installation Service Includes

Entry Doors

An entry door is the primary access point for your home, and in Hobe Sound, it needs to withstand humidity, salt exposure, and the occasional tropical system without warping, corroding, or failing at the lockset. We see a lot of fiberglass entry doors in Hobe Sound that have delaminated after five years because the original installer didn’t account for southern exposure and inadequate overhang. We measure the sightline, check the frame plumb with a laser level, and specify either a Therma-Tru fiberglass system with a composite jamb or a CGI aluminum impact-rated unit depending on your exposure and your budget. The measured survey you keep shows every dimension and every condition we found.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Hurricane-proof front doors, properly called impact-rated doors, are required by Florida Building Code in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones and are the standard we recommend for any Hobe Sound home within three miles of the coast. These doors are tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards, with laminated glass that holds together when struck and frames engineered to transfer wind load to the structure. We install impact-rated entry systems from PGT, CGI, and CWS, and we pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of our scope. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every installation, and the documented photo record shows the fastening pattern, the shim placement, and the sealant bead.

French & Double Doors

French doors and double door units create wide openings to patios, pools, and river views, but they also create wide opportunities for air infiltration, water intrusion, and operational failure if the astragal and meeting stile aren’t precisely aligned. In Hobe Sound, we regularly see French doors that leak at the sill during summer thunderstorms because the original installation didn’t include a proper pan flashing or because the threshold wasn’t bedded in sealant. We install double door systems from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems with integrated sill pans, adjustable hinges, and multi-point locking hardware. The written scope specifies the U-factor and SHGC ratings for the glass package, so you know exactly what performance you’re buying.

Replacement Doors

Replacement door installation means removing an existing door and frame, assessing the rough opening for rot or insect damage, and installing a new unit that fits properly without forcing or shimming excessively. In Hobe Sound’s older homes, particularly in the neighborhoods near Bridge Road and Gomez Avenue, we find original openings that have settled out of square by half an inch or more. We also handle North Palm Beach Door Installation with the same attention to detail. We don’t trim the door to fit a bad opening; we correct the opening and document the correction in the photo record. Replacement doors from ViewLux or Mr-Glass can often match existing sightlines and trim profiles, and we specify the exact manufacturer and model number on the quote you sign before work starts.

Storm & Exterior Doors

Storm doors and exterior screen doors protect your primary door from weather exposure and provide ventilation security, but they are often installed as afterthoughts with mismatched hardware and inadequate frame attachment. We install storm door systems that are designed for the specific primary door they protect, with proper hinge-side reinforcement and drip cap integration. In Hobe Sound, where afternoon thunderstorms can deliver two inches of rain in thirty minutes, the detail work matters. The written price includes the storm door, the frame, the hardware, and the installation; there are no change orders for “unexpected conditions” because we measured and documented those conditions before we quoted.

Brands We Service for Door Installation

We install and service eight manufacturer lines, specified by what your opening requires, not by what we have in inventory. CGI and CWS are our go-to lines for impact-rated aluminum doors in coastal Hobe Sound applications; we’ve installed hundreds of CGI Estate Collection entry systems and CWS impact French doors, and we maintain direct distributor relationships for warranty support and parts availability. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems provide excellent value in vinyl and aluminum hybrid frames, particularly for replacement projects where the customer wants improved energy performance without the premium of a full impact-rated system. We specify the U-factor, the SHGC, and the DP rating on every quote, so you can compare products on documented performance rather than sales claims.

Whether you have a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door that needs replacement, a PGT impact slider that won’t lock properly, or a ViewLux architectural unit that requires custom sizing, we can help. Our technicians carry the installation manuals, the OEM hardware, and the specific fasteners each manufacturer requires. The documented photo record shows the product label, the installation sequence, and the finished condition. If you have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it to us for a free second opinion; we’ll review the specifications and the scope line by line.

Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now

• Visible daylight around the frame. If you can see light between the door slab and the jamb, or between the jamb and the framing, your door is not sealed. That gap is also a pathway for water, insects, and unconditioned air, and in Hobe Sound’s climate, it will lead to rot in the subfloor and the wall framing within two to three years.
• The door sticks, binds, or requires shoulder force to close. Operational resistance means the frame has shifted, the hinges have pulled, or the slab has warped. Forced closure damages the lockset, the strike plate, and eventually the frame itself. We measure the frame diagonals with a laser to determine whether the opening is square or whether structural settlement is the root cause.
• Corrosion on the threshold, hinges, or lockset. Salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion, and once it starts, it progresses quickly. We’ve replaced steel thresholds in Hobe Sound homes that were structurally compromised after four years of exposure. We specify marine-grade hardware and composite or aluminum thresholds for coastal applications.
• Condensation between glass panes. Fogged glass in a door lite means the insulating glass unit has failed its seal. The inert gas has escaped, the thermal performance is gone, and the interior surfaces of the glass will eventually stain or etch. We replace the IGU or the entire sash, depending on the manufacturer’s design and the age of the unit.
• The door was installed before 2002 and is not impact-rated. Pre-2002 doors in Florida were not required to meet the wind-borne debris standards that followed Hurricane Andrew. If your door has standard annealed glass and a wood frame with no structural reinforcement, it is a liability during tropical weather. We can install an impact-rated replacement that meets current code and may reduce your windstorm insurance premium.

Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measured survey and documented conditions. We arrive with a laser measure, a moisture meter, and a camera. We record every dimension of the existing opening, the condition of the frame, the floor level relative to the threshold, and any signs of water damage or insect activity. You receive a copy of this survey before we leave. This is Haven Clause 1: Have it in writing.
2. 2
   Written quote with product specification. The quote references the measured survey by date and technician name. It specifies the manufacturer, the model, the size, the glass package, the hardware finish, and the exact scope of work. The price on this document is the price on the final invoice. No change orders, no surprises. Haven Clause 5: No surprises.
3. 3
   Permit application and scheduling. If the installation requires a permit, we pull it. We schedule the inspection before we start work, so the timeline is known. In Martin County, permit turnaround is typically three to five business days for door replacements; we build that into the schedule and confirm the inspection date with you.
4. 4
   Installation with documented progress. Our crew arrives in uniform, with license numbers visible. They remove the existing unit, prepare the opening, install the new door according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code, and photograph each critical step: the rough opening condition, the flashing integration, the fastener pattern, the shim placement, the insulation, and the finished operation. You receive the photo record within 24 hours of completion.
5. 5
   Final inspection, walkthrough, and warranty registration. We operate the door with you, demonstrate the lockset and any multi-point hardware, review the maintenance requirements, and register the manufacturer’s warranty. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated automatically; if anything is not correct, we return and correct it at no charge. Haven Clause 4: Evidence on every job.
