Door Installation in Sunrise - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Sunrise

Door installation in Sunrise often means one thing: replacing the original aluminum slider or builder-grade entry door that has been punishing homeowners since the 1970s and 1980s. A properly fitted, impact-rated door in Sunrise typically runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed, depending on opening size, frame condition, and wind-zone requirements. That price buys more than a door. It buys an HVHZ-compliant barrier that stops wind, water, and flying debris. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote.

Winslow Windows & Doors has been replacing doors across Broward County since 2011. We know Sunrise’s housing stock because we have worked on hundreds of these homes. Ed Winslow built this company around a simple promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for 100 years. That is the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it is not marketing copy. It is Ed’s word, with his name on every job.

Key Takeaways

• Sunrise sits inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement door must carry Florida Product Approval meeting HVHZ standards.
• Original 1970s aluminum sliders on Sunrise ranch homes are the single most common door we replace, usually because of corroded tracks and failed glazing seals.
• Expect $1,800 to $5,500 for a typical impact-rated door installed in Sunrise, with custom openings running higher.
• Winslow is locally owned, answers calls live 24/7, and backs every install with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Door Installation Company

Most door companies send a subcontractor. We send our own background-checked, uniformed technicians who live in the South Florida metro and know Sunrise’s neighborhoods, from the condominium corridors near Sawgrass Mills to the ranch-home streets off Nob Hill Road. They understand what happens to a builder-grade door after fifteen humid summers. They know what HOA architectural boards in Sunrise’s newer planned developments ask for, and they can produce the Florida Product Approval paperwork that satisfies those boards.

Sunrise homeowners call us for a reason. When you call (904) 913-5886, a live person answers, not a call center and not a voicemail tree. You get upfront pricing before any work begins. You get a written estimate with line items, never a verbal ballpark. And if you get a competing written estimate, we will give you a free second opinion on it, no obligation.

Ed Winslow publishes his address and license number. That matters in a city where homeowners have been burned by shell companies and no-show crews. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer. That is who we are.

Our Door Installation Services in Sunrise

Every Sunrise home has different door problems. A 1978 CBS ranch off NW 60th Avenue has different needs than a 1990s two-story near the Sawgrass Expressway. We tailor every install to the opening, the wind zone, and the homeowner’s insurance situation. Here is what we handle most often.

Entry Doors

Sunrise’s original entry doors were builder-grade steel or wood units that swell in summer humidity. The deadbolt stops aligning. The jamb warps. You end up shouldering the door open while holding groceries. We replace those with Therma-Tru entry doors that hold their shape in South Florida’s climate and actually close flush year-round. A standard entry door replacement in Sunrise runs $1,200 to $3,500 installed.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

This is the upgrade Sunrise insurance underwriters want to see. Impact-rated front doors built to HVHZ standards carry Florida Product Approval and use laminated glass or solid composite cores that stop windborne debris. We install impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru and glass packages from PGT that meet Broward County’s strictest requirements. Expect $2,500 to $5,500 for a full front entry system, including the jambs and hardware.

French & Double Doors

French doors in Sunrise’s 1980s two-story homes almost always fail at the meeting stile, where the two panels align. The foam seals crumble, the astragal warps, and water intrudes at the threshold during summer downpours. We replace them with impact-rated double door systems that lock together with interlocking astragals and compression seals. A full French or double door replacement in Sunrise typically runs $3,200 to $7,000 installed, depending on width and glazing.

Replacement Doors

Sometimes you do not need a full frame replacement. A slab swap keeps the existing jamb and replaces only the door panel. That works when the jamb is still square and the threshold is solid. Sunrise homes with newer frames but failed door slabs are good candidates. Slab replacement starts around $900 and goes up depending on material and impact rating. We will tell you honestly if a slab swap makes sense or if the frame has rotted past saving.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

Winslow is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for Sunrise door jobs we lean hardest on Therma-Tru for entry doors and PGT, CGI, and CWS for impact-rated glazing and sliders. These brands are engineered specifically for South Florida’s wind and humidity, which means parts are available locally, lead times are predictable, and warranty claims do not get bounced through a national chain. We stock local components for these product lines, so when a Sunrise homeowner needs a roller assembly or a replacement astragal, we are not waiting on a warehouse in North Carolina.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Corroded slider tracks and rollers: Sunrise’s near-daily afternoon thunderstorms and relentless humidity corrode aluminum tracks until the slider jumps the rail or seizes shut. We replace the entire slider with an impact-rated unit rather than chase hardware repairs on a door that is already below code.
• Single-pane glass that fails small-missile testing: Original 1970s sliders and French doors have no laminated interlayer. A piece of roof tile at 50 miles per hour goes straight through. These doors fail any wind-mitigation inspection and earn zero insurance credit.
• Swollen builder-grade entry doors: The cheap hollow-core or thin-gauge steel doors installed when Sunrise was built absorb humidity, swell against the jamb, and eventually warp enough that the deadbolt no longer throws. June through October is when these calls spike.
• Failed glazing seals on aging doors: Condensation permanently fogged between the glass panes means the seal is gone. The door loses its thermal value and looks terrible from the curb. In Sunrise’s heat, this happens faster than manufacturers admit.

On a 1978 CBS ranch off NW 60th Avenue in Sunrise, we removed a pitted, track-seized original aluminum slider and replaced it with a PGT HurricaneGuard impact-rated sliding glass door carrying Florida Product Approval for HVHZ. The old door’s glazing had no laminated interlayer and its design pressure rating would have failed any wind mitigation inspection. After the install, the homeowner asked us to quote matching Therma-Tru entry doors for the front and the garage side.

Pricing for Door Installation in Sunrise, FL

What Door Installation Costs in Sunrise

For budgeting purposes, here are the anchors we give Sunrise homeowners at the kitchen table. A standard impact-rated entry door with no sidelights runs $2,500 to $5,500 installed. An impact-rated sliding glass door typically lands between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on track length and frame condition. French or double door systems go from $3,200 to $7,000. Whole-home packages that replace every exterior door in a 1970s Sunrise ranch, including the sliders and the front entry, run $8,000 to $25,000 and up.

What moves the number in Sunrise specifically? Opening count, first, because most 1970s ranch homes have two or three sliders plus a front and garage side door. Second is wind zone. Sunrise lies entirely within Broward’s HVHZ, so every opening needs a Florida Product Approval rating and design pressures matched to the specific opening size. A wider slider needs a higher PSF rating, never above +/-100, and that affects which products qualify. Third is frame material: aluminum frames hold up in humidity but cost more than vinyl, and composite or fiberglass entry doors outlast both but add to the bill. The free in-home measure settles all of it with real numbers.

Florida Pays You Back

Sunrise homeowners stacking incentives can recover a meaningful chunk of a door replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on homesteaded properties. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying exterior doors. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many carriers credit around 25 percent of the windstorm portion of the premium. The inspection and the final savings are between you and your insurer, but the upgrade is what unlocks those numbers.

One comparison worth making: impact windows and doors versus shutters. Shutters protect only when someone remembers to hang them. Impact doors are always on duty, no panels in the garage, no scrambling before a storm. We do not install shutters, but we are happy to explain why Sunrise homeowners who replace their original sliders with impact-rated units stop worrying about that choice entirely.

Why Your Sunrise HOA Cares About Your Front Door

Sunrise’s newer master-planned developments, especially those built around the 1990s and 2000s along the city’s western and southwestern edges, enforce architectural rules that older ranch neighborhoods never had. HOA architectural boards in those communities routinely require a specific Florida Product Approval number before approving a front door replacement. They want to see documented wind ratings, documented impact certifications, and a uniform appearance that matches the community’s original aesthetic palette.

This is where many homeowners stall. They buy a door from a big-box retailer, submit the paperwork, and get denied because the product approval does not match the opening or the wind zone. We have walked dozens of Sunrise HOA submissions through to approval because we know which products pass architectural review and which ones get flagged. If your HOA has already specified a product line, we will quote it. If they have not, we will recommend doors that nearly always clear review in Sunrise’s planned communities and provide the exact Florida Product Approval documentation the board wants to see.

Builder warranties complicate the conversation, too. If your Sunrise home is newer and still under the original builder’s structural warranty, the wrong installer can void it by enlarging an opening or altering a load-bearing jamb without engineering. We work within builder warranty conditions on newer Sunrise homes, which means we document everything, pull permits where required, and never modify an opening in a way that voids coverage.
