Living in Deerfield Beach means dealing with the realities of coastal living. Salt air corrodes standard hardware, and the threat of hurricane-force winds makes the integrity of your entryways a primary security concern. Many homeowners in our area have older, non-impact doors that no longer seal properly, leading to air leaks during the summer heat and potential vulnerability during storm season. As a second-generation glazier, Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 with a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We provide specialized installation for Impact Garage Doors, impact entry, and French doors, ensuring every unit is set level, plumb, and square.
We are an authorized installer for major manufacturers including PGT, CGI. When you work with us, you aren’t getting a franchise playbook. You are getting experienced, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and present side-by-side quotes on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying. We serve as a dedicated resource for Impact Windows & Doors in Deerfield Beach, and our team is ready to help you secure your home with professional craftsmanship.
When You Need Impact Entry & French Doors
Most homeowners call us when they notice their doors are no longer functioning as they should. In our climate, wood rot and hardware failure happen faster than in other parts of the country. Here are the specific signs that it is time to consider an impact-rated upgrade:
- Binding or sticking: If your French doors scrape against the threshold or require significant force to latch, the frame may be settling or the hinges may be sagging. This is a common issue in older Deerfield Beach homes where foundation shifts occur over time.
- Visible daylight around the perimeter: If you can see light coming through the edges of your door when it is closed, you have a seal failure. This allows humidity and insects to enter your home and reduces the effectiveness of your air conditioning.
- Hardware corrosion: Salt air is relentless. If your handles, locks, or hinges are pitted, rusted, or beginning to freeze up, it is a sign that the metal has reached the end of its lifespan and the security of the door is compromised.
- Glass fogging or seal failure: If you see condensation or a milky appearance between the panes of glass in your French doors, the seal is broken. This is not repairable and indicates the insulating gas has escaped.
- Outdated, non-impact glass: If your current doors require you to install heavy plywood or metal shutters whenever a tropical storm warning is issued, you are dealing with an unnecessary labor burden. Impact doors are designed to remain in place, providing permanent protection without the scramble.
- Drafts and high energy bills: If you feel a temperature difference near your entryway, your doors are likely leaking conditioned air. Impact units offer superior thermal performance compared to standard single-pane or older insulated doors.
We encourage you to inspect your thresholds and hinge plates regularly. If you identify any of these issues, call us at (786) 743-5882. We provide an honest assessment, and if a repair is possible and safe, we will tell you. If replacement is the only way to restore safety, we will show you exactly why.
Our Impact Entry & French Doors Process
We do not rush our installations. We follow a strict protocol to ensure your doors are installed to manufacturer specifications, which is the only way to maintain your warranty and ensure the door performs as intended during a storm. This is the home improvement process we follow for every entry and French door project:
- Initial Consultation and Measurement: We visit your home to assess the existing opening. We measure the rough opening, check for plumb and level in the existing structure, and discuss your goals regarding security, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. We do not use high-pressure sales tactics; we provide the facts.
- Side-by-Side Quoting: After measurements, we provide a written quote detailing the manufacturer lines we recommend for your specific opening. We show you the cost differences between products from brands like PGT, CGI, and Jeld-Wen so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and needs.
- Verification and Ordering: Once you approve the quote, we verify all measurements one final time before placing the order with the manufacturer. This prevents the “surprise” issues that often delay projects when measurements are guessed or assumed.
- Professional Installation: Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on the scheduled day. We remove the old unit, clean the rough opening, and prepare the substrate. We set the new frame using appropriate shims and fasteners that meet current Florida Building Code for wind-load requirements.
- Warranty Registration: We adhere to The Keystone Standard. This means we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave your driveway. You will have all the documentation you need, and you will not have to fight for it.
- Done Right Promise: We stand behind our work. If you notice any binding, air leaks, or hardware issues within 90 days of installation, we return to make it right. We do not argue, and we do not charge for callbacks on our own workmanship.
Impact Entry & French Doors Pricing in Deerfield Beach
Pricing for impact doors is driven by the size of the opening, the hardware finishes, and the specific impact rating required for your zone in Deerfield Beach. A standard single impact entry door is different from a custom-sized double French door system. We believe in upfront pricing, so you know what the investment is before we start.
| Door Type | Estimated Cost Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Single Impact Entry Door | $3,200 - $4,800 |
| Double Impact French Doors | $5,500 - $8,500+ |
| Custom Configuration (Sidelights/Transoms) | $7,000 - $12,000+ |
Please note that these ranges include professional removal of your old door, disposal, installation of the new unit, and necessary sealing. We do not have hidden “administrative” fees or surprise add-ons. If you need a repair for a door that is still in good condition, we offer a $50 discount on any repair over $250. We also provide a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a free estimate and get a firm number for your specific project.
FAQs - Impact Entry & French Doors
Can you match the style of my existing French doors?
Yes, we work with several manufacturers that offer a wide range of grid patterns, glass textures, and hardware finishes to match the architectural style of your home. During our initial consultation, we bring samples and catalogs-including options for Impact Sliding Glass Doors-to help you select a product that looks like it belongs in your home, rather than looking like an aftermarket add-on. Call (786) 743-5882 to discuss your design preferences.
How long does the installation of impact doors take?
Most single-opening door installations are completed in a single visit, typically taking one full day. We arrive with the necessary equipment, materials, and a team that knows how to prep the opening efficiently. We plan our schedule to ensure we are not leaving your home exposed to the elements or leaving a job unfinished overnight. If you have questions about your specific timeline, call us today.
Is it cheaper to repair my current doors or replace them with impact units?
If your doors are old, non-impact units, repairs often cost more in the long run because they do not address the fundamental lack of hurricane protection or energy efficiency. We will always tell you if a repair is a viable, cost-effective option. However, if your frame is rotted or the glass is compromised, replacement is usually the responsible choice. We provide side-by-side comparisons so you can see the long-term value of each option. Call (786) 743-5882 for an honest evaluation of your current doors.
Do I need a permit for door replacement in Deerfield Beach?
Yes, replacing exterior doors in Deerfield Beach requires a building permit to ensure the installation meets current wind-load and structural codes. We handle the Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance permit application and documentation process for you as part of our service. We ensure all work is documented correctly, which is vital for your home insurance records and when you eventually decide to sell your home. If you have concerns about the permitting process, call us and we will walk you through what to expect.
We are a community-rooted company, and we intend to be here in thirty years. When you call us, you speak to a live person who can answer your questions immediately. We do not use voicemail trees or callback forms. We take pride in our work, and we treat every home as if it were our own mother’s. Whether you are ready to start a project or just have a few questions about your options, call (786) 743-5882.
