TruePane Windows & Doors has been working in Wellington long enough to know its houses door by door. We know the CBS construction, the wind-load requirements, the summer heat that makes a cheap slab of hollow steel feel like a radiator, and the hundred little details that separate a door that closes from a door that closes true. If you own a home here and you’re tired of fighting a binding jamb or watching water seep under the threshold every August, call us at (561) 264-1279. We answer live, every time.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Door Installation Company

Wellington isn’t a generic market. It’s a bimodal one. On one side sit the CBS tract subdivisions built between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, filled with original aluminum frames that are now 30 to 40 years old and functionally obsolete. On the other side sit the equestrian estates around the International Polo Club, where doors are architectural statements: 10-foot pivot entries, climate-controlled tack room openings, barn doors wide enough to clear a horse trailer. Most crews only understand one side of that market. We work both, and have for years.

Our Wellington customers tend to call us after someone else’s bid made them nervous. They want a real answer to the question: will this door actually handle a 150 mph design wind load, and will it still close in July? We give real answers. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Founder Dale Kessler’s rule hangs over every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That goes for doors too.

And when you call, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback request, not a regional call center. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also keep a 5% discount for seniors and veterans, which matters in a community like Wellington where a good portion of our clients have earned both titles.

Our Door Installation Services in Wellington

Entry & Swing Doors

Most Wellington tract homes were built with a standard 36-inch aluminum entry door that’s now three decades past its prime. The jambs have shifted from years of thermal cycling. The thresholds collect water. The frames oxidize at the corners where the stucco meets the rough opening. We replace these with fusion-welded, impact-rated fiberglass or steel units, set with proper flashing and a zero-threshold option where aging-in-place clearance matters. A standard entry door replacement in Wellington runs $1,800 to $3,400 installed.

For homes in communities like Cypress Run or The Isles, where original CBS construction is universal, we cut back the stucco carefully, shim the new jamb to true, and flash it with butyl tape before reinstalling trim. This is not a “drop it in the hole and caulk it” job. Done wrong, it leaks. Done right, it seals.

Double & French Doors

Double French doors in Wellington serve two very different purposes depending on the address. In the tract homes, they open from a living room onto a screened patio. In the estate homes, they open from a climate-controlled interior into a covered breezeway or a barn aisle. Either way, the issue is usually the same: the slab joints have loosened, the locking stile sags, and the doors no longer meet at the center.

We rebuild or replace these with manufacturer authority on Andersen, Pella, and Marvin lines, configuring the panels to carry Palm Beach County wind-load approval. A standard double French door retrofit in Wellington runs $2,200 to $5,800 depending on glass type and hardware grade. Energy-Efficient Windows in Wellington with impact-laminate low-E glass adds about 25 to 30 percent to the material line but cuts cooling load year-round, which matters inland where Wellington’s summer heat is relentless and there’s no ocean breeze to soften it.

Bifold & Folding Doors

Bifold and folding door systems in Wellington show up in two places: modest interior closets and laundry alcoves in the tract homes, and expansive lanai-facing wall systems on the estate tier. The former is a straightforward replacement. The latter is a structural job, involving oversized headers, heavy roller carriages, and careful load transfer across a concrete-block wall.

Here’s the local wrinkle: Wellington is far enough inland that salt spray is not your enemy, but it is still squarely inside Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone. Any folding glass door installed here must carry Florida Product Approval. We verify that paperwork before we schedule the job, not after. A standard two-panel folding closet door replacement might run $450 to $900, while a six-panel estate folding wall system with impact glass starts around $9,000 and climbs from there based on panel count and finish. Call (561) 264-1279 for a line-item quote on your specific opening.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors are the signature of Wellington’s equestrian architecture. A 9-foot-tall, 500-pound pivot slab on a barn entry or a grand estate front elevation is a different animal entirely from a hinged door. The pivot hardware takes the load, and the slab must be engineered to hang plumb and swing true on a single axis without binding, warping, or cracking the surrounding stucco.

We’ve installed custom pivot doors on Wellington estate homes during the summer off-season, when the owners are out of state and the show circuit has headed north. This is the May to September window when the polo crowd commissions major renovations remotely. We coordinate the work, send photos and measurements daily, and finish before the season turns in October. A custom oversized pivot door, engineered and installed in Wellington, typically runs $6,500 to $18,000 depending on material, size, and hardware. We can also source arched and fully custom doors for homes that won’t accept a standard rectangular unit.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes

• Water intrusion at aging-in-place thresholds. We regularly see zero-threshold pans that were installed without proper sub-sill flashing, especially on slab-on-grade CBS homes. During Wellington’s summer downpours, water wicks under the pan and pools at the interior slab edge. The fix is a properly flashed pan with a sloped sub-sill and backer rod at the transition.
• Sticking doors that work fine in January and bind in July. Wellington’s humidity swings and the 30 to 40 year age of original aluminum frames cause jamb and slab separation. The slab expands, the jamb doesn’t, and suddenly your front door won’t latch. We address this by resetting the jamb to a clean reveal and installing adjustable threshold caps that account for seasonal movement.
• Improperly sized wide doorways in 55+ communities. We see retrofits where a contractor widened a door opening but skipped the structural header permit. Within a year, you have hairline cracking above the opening as the concrete-block wall settles and shifts. That’s a code violation and a structural problem. We pull the permit, install a proper steel or engineered header, and pass the inspection before we button up the opening.
• Non-compliant impact claims. Some Wellington homeowners were sold “impact-rated” doors years ago that carry no Florida Product Approval and wouldn’t hold under a 140 mph wind load. If your door lacks the proper approval sticker and paperwork, your homeowner’s insurance may have already flagged it. We replace non-compliant units and register both warranty layers in writing.
