AfterTrusted Door Installation for Westchester Homeowners
A new front door in Westchester typically costs between $1,200 and $4,800 installed, depending on the material, size, and whether you need impact-rated glass. Most standard single-door installations wrap up in a single day, and we’ve been handling them for Westchester homeowners since 2011. Ed Winslow built this company on a simple idea: if a door isn’t hung right, you’ll feel the draft, hear the rattle, and pay for it on every electric bill. Call (850) 721-1218 and you’ll get a straight answer on what your project should cost, not a vague range from a call center in another state.
We’re the local alternative to the big-box stores and national chains that sub out the work to whoever’s available. When you call Winslow Windows & Doors, a real person picks up the phone. When the technician shows up in Westchester, they’re background-checked, uniformed, and they work for Ed. Not a subcontractor. Not a rotating crew. That’s why we back every installation with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Key Takeaways:
- Entry door installation in Westchester runs $1,200 to $4,800 for most standard configurations.

- Winslow Windows & Doors has installed doors across Westchester since 2011, with technicians who are background-checked and uniformed.
- Every job carries the Done Right Promise, and estimates are free with no trip charge inside the home county.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
Your entry door is the first thing a guest touches and the last line of defense against a Florida afternoon thunderstorm. In Westchester, we see plenty of entry doors that were hung slightly out of square years ago and have been quietly warping ever since. We install solid fiberglass, wood, and steel entry doors sized correctly for the rough opening, with new weatherstripping, threshold, and hardware as needed. Ed’s team pulls the old door, checks the framing for rot or termite damage, and hangs the new one so it closes with a satisfying thud instead of a battle.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
A hurricane-rated door is not the same as a standard door with a deadbolt. True impact-rated doors, like the PGT and CGI units we install, are tested to withstand windborne debris at speeds that would turn a pine 2×4 into a missile. In Westchester, where the county sits directly in the path of Atlantic storm seasons, this is not a luxury upgrade. We install fully rated impact door systems that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code requirements, and we pull the permits so your insurance paperwork lines up.
French & Double Doors
French doors that leak light, air, or water are usually the result of improper alignment or failed weather seals. We often find that Westchester homeowners have been fighting with a set of French doors for years, when the real fix is a full reset and reinstallation with a properly leveled threshold. We install French and double doors in fiberglass and impact-rated glass, handling the mating of both active and passive door panels so they align at the top, bottom, and center. The result is a set of doors you can open with one hand, not a shoulder shove.
Replacement Doors
Replacing a door is not just about looks. A sagging slab, rusted hinges, or a frame that’s been kicked in one too many times means the entire opening needs to be corrected, not just covered over. We remove the old door and frame down to the studs when needed, address any rot or structural issues we find, and install a brand-new pre-hung unit that will actually close flush and lock securely. Most replacement door jobs in Westchester wrap up in one day, and you’re left with a functional door that doesn’t fight you every morning.
Storm & Exterior Doors
An exterior storm door gives you a second barrier against the heat, rain, and bugs, while also letting you leave the main door open for light. In Westchester, where afternoon downpours roll through from May through October, a storm door keeps the main entry dry and adds a layer of ventilation control. We install storm doors with full-perimeter weatherstripping, self-closing hinges, and reinforced lock rails. It’s a simple upgrade that often pays for itself in the first two summers through lower air-conditioning load.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We’re an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, the largest entry-door manufacturer in the country, and we’ve hung hundreds of their fiberglass doors across Westchester. Therma-Tru doors are what we recommend most often for homeowners who want the look of wood without the warping, fading, and peeling that Florida humidity inflicts on real timber. When a Westchester home needs a classic six-panel or a modern glass-inlaid design, Therma-Tru gives us the broadest palette to work from.
We also install impact-rated units from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both of which build heavy-duty door systems tested for storm zones like Miami-Dade County. For Westchester homeowners with older homes that have non-standard openings, these brands offer custom sizing and hardware packages that the big-box off-the-shelf units can’t match. Whether you have a Therma-Tru door that’s reached the end of its life or you’re replacing an unbranded builder-grade unit, we can handle it with same-day phone answers and a real human showing up with a real quote.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- The door sticks, scrapes, or won’t latch without a fight. This usually means the hinges have worn or the house has settled, throwing the slab out of alignment. A door that won’t latch is a security hole, not just an annoyance.
- You see daylight around the edges when the door is closed. Gaps mean your air conditioning is leaking into the front yard. In a Westchester summer, that’s money leaving the house every time the AC cycles on.
- The door is soft, swollen, or showing rot at the bottom corners. Water intrusion from driving rain has compromised the door or the frame. Once rot sets in, the structural integrity of the entire opening degrades fast.
- The glass is single-pane, cracked, or not impact-rated. If a hurricane approaches and your entry door glass isn’t rated, that’s the first thing that fails. Impact-rated replacement doors keep the envelope intact and often reduce your windstorm premium.
- The door is original to a home built before the 2000s. Builder-grade doors from that era were never designed for energy efficiency. A modern insulated door with proper weatherstripping will make the whole entry feel tighter and quieter.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a real person. When you reach out to (850) 721-1218, someone answers. We ask about your current door, take a few photos by text or email if you’re comfortable, and schedule a visit at a time that works for a Westchester homeowner, not just for our route.
- 2
On-site measurement and assessment. Our technician arrives in uniform and measures the rough opening, checks the subfloor and header for level, inspects for rot, and confirms what permits are needed. We don’t guess from the curb; we take the numbers inside your house.
- 3
Upfront, itemized quote. You receive a written, line-by-line estimate that includes the door, frame, hardware, weatherstripping, trim, haul-away, and permit fees if applicable. No vague “miscellaneous” charges. No change orders that mysteriously appear at the end.
- 4
Installation day. We arrive with the door, frame, and all materials on the truck. The old unit comes out, the rough opening gets inspected and corrected, and the new pre-hung door goes in square, plumb, and sealed. We use low-expansion foam around the frame, not fiberglass batts, so the perimeter is airtight and watertight.
- 5
Walkthrough and warranty handoff. Before we leave, we open and close the door with you, show you how the latch, deadbolt, and weatherstripping should feel, and explain what’s covered under the manufacturer warranty and the Done Right Promise. You don’t sign off until the door feels right to you.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Westchester?
A standard entry door replacement in Westchester runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed, with most fiberglass units landing in the $1,800 to $3,200 range. Hurricane-rated entry doors with impact glass typically start around $3,500 and climb to $7,000 or more depending on size and custom glass packages. French and double doors tend to run higher because you’re dealing with two slabs, a shared threshold, and more hardware. Storm doors are the most budget-friendly at $400 to $1,200 installed for a quality unit with full weatherstripping.
What moves the price? The door material, whether the existing frame can be reused or needs replacement, the need for impact-rated glass, and whether your rough opening is standard or custom. Homes in older Westchester neighborhoods often have non-standard openings that require trimming a stock door or ordering a custom size. You avoid overpaying by getting a written quote that itemizes everything before work begins, not after. Our estimates are free, they’re good for 30 days, and there’s no trip charge if you’re inside the home county. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll give you the number it will actually cost.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Westchester
Door installation is the process of removing an existing door and frame, preparing the rough opening, and installing a new pre-hung door unit so it’s plumb, square, level, and sealed. In Westchester, proper installation also means accounting for hurricane codes and humidity, which affect frame materials and weatherstripping choices. A correctly installed door opens and closes smoothly, latches without effort, and keeps rain, bugs, and conditioned air on the correct side.
Most standard single-door installations are completed in one day, typically 3 to 5 hours from arrival to walkthrough. French doors, impact-rated units, or jobs that require frame repair can take a second day. We’ll tell you the realistic timeline at the estimate, not after the old door is already on the lawn. Call (850) 721-1218 to get a specific timeline for your home.
Standard entry door replacement in Westchester runs $1,200 to $4,800, with impact-rated hurricane doors starting around $3,500. Storm doors run $400 to $1,200, and French or double doors tend to be at the higher end because of the additional hardware and panel work. The only way to know your exact price is a free on-site measurement, which we’re happy to schedule. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll put a number on it.

We carry and install their fiberglass entry systems, and we know their hardware, hinge, and weatherseal lines well enough to tell you whether a door can be repaired or needs full replacement. If you have a Therma-Tru door that’s failed or you’re pricing a new one, we’ll give you a straight answer.
If a door gets kicked in, a storm blows it out, or the slab comes off the hinges, you can’t leave the house open overnight. We answer the phone 24/7 and will get a technician out to secure the opening, even if the permanent replacement has to be ordered. In Westchester, a broken door is a security and weather emergency, and we treat it that way. Call (850) 721-1218 whenever it happens.
Your new door carries the manufacturer’s warranty on the product, and our installation work is backed by the Done Right Promise. That means if something about the way we installed it fails, we come back and make it right. No prorated fine print. No arguing about whether the problem is “covered.” Ed’s name is on the job, and Ed stands behind it.
Clear a path from the front entry to the door being replaced, move any furniture or décor within about six feet of the doorway, and make sure there’s a clear spot outside for the old door and packaging. If you have pets, we’ll ask you to keep them secured during the work for their safety and ours. We handle the rest, including hauling away the old door and frame.
