AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Miramar
Door installation in Miramar runs $1,200-$8,500 for most jobs, with hurricane-rated front entry doors typically landing between $2,800 and $5,500 and full replacement packages reaching $9,000-$18,000 depending on opening count. In Miramar’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every exterior door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval, which rules out a lot of national product lines and makes the installer’s brand list matter more than it does in most Florida cities. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our crews work in Miramar neighborhoods like Sunset Lakes, Silver Lakes, and Riviera Isles every week. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that won’t change after the job starts.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miramar’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name is on every door we hang. We’re not a franchise with a rotating cast of subcontractors. The technician who measures your opening is the same background-checked, uniformed pro who installs your door, and Ed is reachable when you need him. Miramar homeowners call us because we answer the phone at 2 a.m. with a live person, not a voicemail tree, and because our written estimates hold up at inspection time.
We’ve replaced original 1990s builder doors in Sunset Lakes, corrected water-damaged jambs in Silver Shores, and retrofitted flush-fin impact doors into CBS openings across Riviera Isles. That local repetition means we already know what your rough opening looks like before we pull up. Masonry walls, stucco finish returns, corroded steel jambs from twenty-five years of salt air exposure. None of it surprises us anymore. And when Miramar’s building department reviews your permit, our NOA-compliant paperwork clears without a second visit.
The Door Installation team at Winslow carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every job: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability, in writing, from a locally owned company with a published address and license number. No shell companies. No ticket numbers. Just accountability with Ed’s name on it.
Our Door Installation Services in Miramar
We handle the full range of exterior door work in Miramar, from single entry replacements to multi-opening packages across whole homes. Every job starts with a free in-home measure, and every quote is a fixed written price. Here’s what we install most in Miramar:
Entry Doors
A front entry door in Miramar does double duty: it’s the first thing you see coming home, and it’s a required part of your home’s wind-mitigation profile. We install fiberglass and steel entry doors from Therma-Tru and other NOA-certified lines, fitted to your existing CBS rough opening with proper stucco finishing. Most entry door replacements in Miramar run $1,800-$4,200 installed, with sculpted glass and impact-rated options pushing toward the upper end.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the work that matters most in Miramar’s HVHZ. An impact-rated front door carries laminated glass and a reinforced frame that’s tested to handle windborne debris without a shutter in front of it. In communities like Silver Lakes and Riviera Isles, we’ve been replacing postwar accordion-shutter setups with full impact doors that qualify for Citizens Insurance wind-mitigation credits. These jobs run $3,200-$6,000 depending on the glass package and hardware.
French & Double Doors
French doors in Miramar usually mean one of two things: a front entry pair with decorative glass, or a rear opening onto a patio. Both need to meet the same NOA standard as every other exterior opening, and the wider the total span, the higher the design pressure rating has to be. We handle French and double door replacements with a focus on getting the mullion joint and the locking hardware right. Budget $3,500-$7,500 for a typical French door replacement here.
Replacement Doors
Miramar’s 1990s and 2000s master-planned subdivisions are hitting the 20-25-year replacement cycle at the same time. Original aluminum and hollow-core builder doors are failing: corroded frames, sagging hinges, failed seals. We replace the entire unit, not just the slab, because reusing a rusted jamb in a CBS opening is exactly how air and water infiltration start. We also address the corroded fasteners and stucco scars left behind by the original install. These replacements run $1,500-$5,500 in Miramar depending on the opening size and the door you choose.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miramar
We’re an authorized installer for eight brands, and in Miramar we reach for the ones that hold current Miami-Dade NOAs: PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru lead the list, with CWS and ES Windows available for higher-end architectural work. We stock local parts and glass packages for these lines, which shortens turnaround when a hinge, sweep, or glazing panel fails. If you’re not sure whether your current door brand can even pass a Miramar inspection, call us; we’ll tell you straight. (904) 913-5886.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Miramar Homes
- Paint-grade steel jambs rusting from the inside out. Salt air from the Atlantic, even ten miles inland, attacks the unprimed edges of builder-grade jambs. In Sunset Lakes and west Miramar, we regularly find the corner welds and threshold screws of original 1990s doors reduced to rust powder. The fix is a full unit replacement with a corrosion-resistant jamb, not another coat of paint.
- Non-compliant impact doors that can’t pass permit inspection. Homeowners sometimes buy a “hurricane door” from a big-box store, then learn during the Miramar permit process that the unit lacks a Miami-Dade NOA. Once the door’s already in the rough opening, the manufacturer’s impact warranty is void and the inspection fails. We get called to pull the wrong door and install a compliant one.
- Accordion shutter removal leaving unfinished frames and missing wind-mitigation credits. A lot of west Miramar’s original homes were built with accordion shutters as the cheapest code-legal wind protection. When homeowners remove the shutters to upgrade to impact doors, they often skip the updated OIR wind mitigation inspection, which means they lose the Citizens Insurance premium credit that made the upgrade worthwhile in the first place. We’ve fixed the door and then walked homeowners through the inspection step.
- Out-of-square CBS rough openings causing air and water intrusion on new installs. Concrete block openings from the 1990s settle and shift. A door that’s merely caulked around the perimeter without addressing the jamb-to-masonry gap will leak and lose its design pressure rating. We square the opening with shim packs and backer rod before we set the frame, then finish with proper stucco patching.
Pricing for Door Installation in Miramar, FL
A single replacement entry door in Miramar runs $1,200-$4,500 installed, an impact-rated front door $2,800-$5,500, and a French or double door $3,500-$7,500. Whole-home packages with multiple openings typically land between $8,000 and $18,000. What moves the price: the number of openings, whether the door needs impact glazing, the design pressure rating the opening requires, and whether we’re replacing just the slab or the full jamb and casing assembly. Custom millwork and specialty glass push the top of the range. Every quote is a fixed written price. No change orders that weren’t in the original scope. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule a free in-home measure.
What Door Installation Costs in Miramar
You’ll hear a range of numbers for door work in Broward County, but Miramar’s HVHZ code changes the math. A non-impact entry door in a city one county north might run $900-$1,500. In Miramar, that same opening with a compliant impact-rated unit runs $2,800-$5,500 because you’re buying laminated glass and an NOA-listed frame, not just a fiberglass slab. Single rear doors in masonry walls run $1,500-$3,500, while a pair of French doors starts around $3,500 and can push past $7,500 for tall or wide openings that jump a design pressure bracket.
The big cost drivers in Miramar are the wind zone, the opening size, the floor height, and the frame material. A second-story opening needs a higher design pressure rating than a ground-floor door. A ranch-style home in Silver Shores has simpler wind-load math than a two-story in Sunset Lakes. We measure every opening, match the door to the exact design pressure the location requires, and hand you a line-item written quote before you commit. The free in-home measure takes about an hour and the written quote is yours to keep.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money on the table for Miramar homeowners who upgrade to impact doors. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact-rated doors. Florida’s state sales tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, which trims the invoice immediately. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers up to 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. And once the work is done, a wind-mitigation inspection in Miramar typically runs $75-$150 and unlocks windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. The exact numbers depend on your carrier and your home’s current mitigation profile; no one can guarantee a specific credit before the inspection. But the direction is always in your favor when you take a shutter-covered opening to a full impact door. We’ll point you to the paperwork, and we don’t charge for that guidance.

FAQs - Door Installation in Miramar
Yes, Miramar requires a permit for replacing an exterior door, and the new unit must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval to pass inspection. That’s the difference between a door you can hang in most of Florida and a door you can legally hang in Miramar. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and include the NOA paperwork with your quote so there’s no surprise at the final sign-off. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk through what your specific opening requires.
Yes, but only if you update your OIR wind mitigation inspection after the new door is installed. The new impact-rated door itself qualifies for windstorm premium credits, but the insurance carrier only sees the credit if the updated inspection confirms the change. Skip that step and you’ll lose the discount that motivated the upgrade in the first place. We’ll coordinate the order of work so the inspection happens once the door is in and the shutter removal debris is gone. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free measure and a straight answer on your property.
The door has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval that names the specific masonry installation method used with it. Miramar’s CBS rough openings aren’t wood-frame cavities; they’re concrete block, and the door’s approved installation details have to match that substrate. Therma-Tru and PGT both maintain current NOAs for masonry openings with the flush-fin or finned frame systems we use. We install those lines specifically because they clear Miramar’s building department without conditions.
A custom entry door with architectural glass, custom millwork, or specialty hardware typically runs about four to six weeks from signed quote to installation. The delay isn’t the labor; it’s the fabrication and the NOA paperwork review. Glass lamination, frame welding, and finish milling are done at the manufacturer’s facility, then the unit ships with its approval documentation. Once the door arrives at our shop, installation is usually a one-day job. If your home isn’t in a rush, we’ll hold your written price from the day you sign regardless of what happens to supplier costs while we wait.
Yes, though the reduction is modest unless your old door is visibly leaking air around the edges or through a failed frame. The bigger efficiency driver in a Miramar home is usually the glass package, not the door slab itself. But a properly sealed impact fiberglass door with an insulated core will cut the air infiltration that a rusted 1990s aluminum frame permits, and that does help your HVAC’s duty cycle. Where most homeowners see the biggest financial return is on the windstorm insurance credit. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll give you a straight read on what’s worth doing.
Door Installation in Miramar, FL - Built for the HVHZ
Miramar sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes every door we install. The code bar here is stricter than most of Florida: every exterior door has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, which means a lot of the doors sold at national retail chains simply can’t be legally installed in Miramar. We learned this the hard way years ago, watching homeowners buy doors that failed permit review and had to be pulled back out of the rough opening. That’s why our Miramar inventory is limited to lines like PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru that keep current NOAs for masonry openings. If a door can’t pass Miramar’s inspection, we don’t stock it and we won’t install it.
The housing stock has its own story. Miramar’s explosive master-planned buildout between roughly 1995 and 2008 produced tens of thousands of near-identical concrete block homes in communities like Silver Lakes, Riviera Isles, and Sunset Lakes. Those homes are all hitting the same replacement cycle at the same time, and the original builder doors are failing together: corroded aluminum frames from salt air exposure, failed seals, sagging hinges, air leaks around the jamb. The work we do in Miramar is almost exclusively on masonry rough openings, which means flush-fin or finned frames and honest stucco finishing, not the wood-frame retrofits you’d see in an older city. Every job is a little different, but the underlying conditions repeat from block to block.
We recently replaced a corroded aluminum front entry door in Sunset Lakes with a Therma-Tru fiberglass door, full impact-rated glazing, and a laminated glass interlayer. The original frame had rusted at the corners, and the jambs were pulling away from the block. We cut the old unit out, squared the rough opening, set a flush-fin frame designed for CBS, and finished the stucco returns to match. The homeowner removed the aging accordion shutters from the same opening and scheduled an OIR wind mitigation inspection, which now qualifies the entry for Citizens Insurance premium credits. That’s the full scope of what door replacement in Miramar actually involves: the door, the frame, the permit, the inspection, and the insurance paperwork. We handle all of it.
One thing worth saying plainly: lead times, not labor, set the schedule on higher-end work here. Custom millwork, architectural glass, and specialty finishes are built to order, and the NOA paperwork review adds a layer of time that doesn’t exist in non-HVHZ cities. We write your price in stone before we order anything. If material costs move while we wait, you don’t owe a dollar more than the quote you signed. That’s the Winslow way, and it’s how we’ve worked in Miramar long enough to know every inspector and every code nuance that’ll touch your job.
