AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Tamarac
Door installation in Tamarac, FL typically costs $800-$4,200 depending on whether we’re hanging a standard entry door or rebuilding a rotted rough opening in an original CBS home. Most single entry door replacements in Tamarac run $1,100-$2,600 including the frame, hardware, and haul-away. Call (863) 591-8673 for a fixed written quote from our Door Installation team. We serve all of Tamarac, and we don’t send a sales rep first. A background-checked installer measures the opening, checks the framing, and gives you a number on paper.
Tamarac’s housing stock is not like the rest of Broward. The city was purpose-built as a planned retirement community starting in the mid-1960s, and that means block after block of single-story CBS homes whose original door frames have spent five decades absorbing South Florida humidity. We know what we’re walking into before we ring the bell. That is the difference between a door that closes true and one that binds again in July.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Tamarac’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors has been led by Dale Kessler since 2008, and the company’s roots in South Florida glazing go back many years. Tamarac homeowners call us because we measure every opening twice and we write the quote in front of them, line by line, manufacturer line by manufacturer. There is no mystery line item at the end of the bill. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained locally. They work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s house. When a Tamarac house throws a curve, like a door opening that has sagged a quarter inch on the wet side, the tech writes it down, tells you exactly what it means, and prices the fix on the spot. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South FL office, but the crews we send to Tamarac live and work in Broward. They know the difference between a 1970s villa near the Woodlands Country Club and a 1980s cluster home off McNab Road.
Our Door Installation Services in Tamarac
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry door replacement in Tamarac is rarely just a door swap. The original rough openings on 1960s and 1970s CBS homes were framed for thin aluminum sliders, not modern insulated steel or fiberglass entry systems. Our crew checks the jamb, the rough opening dimensions, and the condition of the sill before we quote, because a rotted or out-of-square opening means the new door will bind no matter how carefully we hang it. We rebuild the opening with pressure-treated lumber and flashing tape where it needs it, then set the door square. A standard entry door replacement in Tamarac runs $1,400-$3,200 depending on material and whether reframing is required.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors are common swinging from Tamarac living rooms into enclosed Florida rooms, and those openings are often wider than any modern prehung unit. We reframe the rough opening, reinforce the header over the wider span, and set the new doors with proper flashing and a threshold pan so water cannot wick under the jamb. The cost for a double French door installation in Tamarac typically lands between $2,800 and $5,500, including the reframing work most of these jobs need. We quote both doors and framing together so there is no second visit and no second number.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold doors work well on the shallow interior openings that define Tamarac’s low-rise villa floor plans, where a swinging door would eat too much of a tight hallway or laundry closet. We stock and install a range of bifold configurations and we service the original aluminum bifolds that shipped with many Tamarac villas in the 1970s. When the tracks wear out or the pivot pins fail, we can usually rebuild the unit on the first visit rather than send you to a box store. Expect $400-$950 for a quality bifold door installed, hardware included.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are the one style we see more of in Tamarac’s newer enclaves and renovated estates, where a large custom door makes a statement at the entry. A pivot hinge system carries the door’s weight at the top and bottom instead of the side jamb, which means the framing has to be exact. We measure and engineer the opening, spec the pivot hardware, and hang the door level in both directions. Custom pivot door installation in Tamarac starts around $4,000 and goes up from there based on the door material and any custom glass. We quote it as a fixed line item before any work begins.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Tamarac customers we most often quote, PGT side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are paying for. PGT’s impact-rated door systems are a strong fit for Tamarac’s HVHZ wind-load requirements, while Jeld-Wen offers a solid entry-level steel door for homeowners who don’t want to overspend on a ranch in the Lakeside area. We keep a working stock of common hardware and parts for these lines, which means fewer second appointments when a hinge or strike plate needs replacing.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Rotted door jambs at the sill on original CBS homes. The original doors on 1965-1985 CBS homes were set without a proper threshold pan, and fifty-plus years of humidity cycles have wicked moisture under the jamb. Swollen and rotted at the sill, the opening is no longer square by the time we get there, and the new door cannot hang true until we rebuild the framing.
- Sagging rough openings on Florida-room additions. Many of Tamarac’s original-era homes have enclosed Florida rooms built with aluminum-framed jalousie sliders. The rough openings on these additions often sag a quarter inch or more on the wet side, and the old aluminum jamb is fused to the block with rusted screws. Rebuilding the opening is the only way to hang a new door that will not bind seasonally.
- Jalousie frames that cannot pass Broward’s HVHZ permit review. Because Tamarac sits fully within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, any permitted door replacement triggers a code review, and original jalousie framing has no path to impact compliance under any current product approval. What the homeowner booked as a simple door replacement becomes a rebuild-and-requote once the inspector flags the old frame.
- Fogged glass panels on original sliding doors. The single-pane horizontal sliders installed throughout Tamarac’s planned communities from the mid-1960s onward are reaching end-of-life in batches. When the seal fails between the panes and fog builds, a glass-only replacement is sometimes possible, but if the frame is original aluminum, full replacement is often the only code-compliant path.
Pricing for Door Installation in Tamarac, FL
A standard entry door replacement in Tamarac runs $1,100-$2,600. Storm doors typically land between $600 and $1,400 depending on whether they are standard or custom-vented. Double French doors run $2,800-$5,500 when framing is included. Pivot doors start around $4,000. Arched and custom doors are priced per opening because the frame geometry varies, but most Tamarac jobs fall between $2,000 and $6,500. What moves the number is the condition of the rough opening. If we have to reframe because the original jamb has rotted at the sill, that work is quoted as a clear line item before we move a single tool.
We do not give a lowball number and then “discover” the framing problem after the old door is out. That is the single biggest reason a Tamarac door quote moves, and we would rather tell you the truth in writing upfront. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free written estimate. The number we give you is the number on the bill.

FAQs - Door Installation in Tamarac
Because Tamarac sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), and any permitted door replacement requires the new door assembly to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or equivalent Florida Product Approval rating. The moment the inspector reviews the opening, they are looking at the framing and the existing fenestration around it - and if that includes original aluminum jalousie framing, it fails. We know ahead of time that this conversation is coming, so we quote the code-compliant work in the first number rather than surprising you mid-job. Call (863) 591-8673 for a quote that accounts for the permit review before the inspector sees it.
No. Jalousie framing cannot be made impact-rated under any current product approval, so the old aluminum framing must come out and the rough opening rebuilt before we can hang a code-compliant door. What you book as a door replacement is actually a reframe-and-hang. We identify this on the first visit so the number you approve is the number that holds, and any additional framing we find once the old jamb is out gets priced and approved in writing before we proceed. On a 1972 villa near the Woodlands Country Club, our crew pulled a fused jalousie jamb, rebuilt the opening with pressure-treated lumber and flashing tape, and hung a new impact-rated entry door - all under the same open permit as the window package, which meant one inspection and one sign-off.
We cut out the rotted wood, assess the block behind it, and rebuild the opening with pressure-treated lumber anchored to the masonry. Then we install a proper threshold pan and flashing tape so water cannot get behind the new jamb the way it did on the original. This is the most common door problem we see in Tamarac, and the fix adds $400-$900 to a typical job depending on how far the rot runs and whether the rough opening has sagged. We price it as a line item, not a mystery add-on.
A storm door is a lightweight outer door installed in front of an existing entry door to block wind-driven rain and add ventilation, and it does not meet code as a primary hurricane barrier. An impact-rated entry door carries a Florida Product Approval rating and is engineered to remain intact under HVHZ wind loads, which matters when you replace the door on a Tamarac CBS home and the permit inspector reviews the opening. If you are replacing the primary door facing the street or the Florida room, the code conversation is unavoidable. If you simply want a screen door for airflow, a storm door is the right call and runs $600-$1,400 installed. Call (863) 591-8673 for a straight answer on which one your opening needs.
Sometimes, but probably not if it is the original single-pane aluminum frame from the 1970s. Once the seal fails, the frame has usually warped and the hardware is worn, and a glass-only replacement leaves you with an old, non-impact-rated unit that will fail again. Full replacement is often the only code-compliant path, and we will tell you that on the first visit rather than sell you a glass swap that buys you two more years.
