Ed Winslow founded Door Installation in 2011 because he saw too many barrier island homeowners getting generic advice from installers who didn’t understand salt spray, wind codes, or historic board requirements. Our team knows the difference between a standard aluminum threshold and one that will survive five years of oceanfront exposure. We answer every call with a live person, and we show up when we say we will.

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

We’ve earned our reputation in Miami Beach the hard way: one door at a time, with crews who show up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work. Homeowners from Sunset Harbour to La Gorce call us because they want a single accountable company, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. It’s a fact of how the business operates.

Miami Beach customers leave reviews about the same three things: our live 24/7 phone answer, our written line-item pricing that doesn’t change mid-job, and the fact that we pull the right permits and pass inspection the first time. We don’t publish a review count because it changes, but our reputation in Mid-Beach and South of Fifth speaks for itself. When a condo board on Collins Avenue needs a door installer who understands the building’s wind-load requirements, they call us. When a homeowner in the Venetian Islands wants a replacement door that won’t trigger a Historic Preservation Board rejection, they call us too.

Our scheduling team coordinates dispatch from our South Florida office, and we send crews into Miami Beach daily. That means no “we’ll try to fit you in next week” runaround. A real person answers the phone at (863) 656-0462, and we coordinate your measure, quote, and install window around your schedule.

Our Door Installation Services in Miami Beach

Entry Doors

A new entry door in Miami Beach isn’t just curb appeal. It’s the first line of defense against wind-driven rain and salt corrosion. We install Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass entry systems in homes across Miami Beach, from the 1920s Mediterranean Revival cottages in Flamingo Park to mid-century ranches in Bayshore. Every installation starts with a jamb inspection, because on a barrier island, hidden rot behind the casing is common. Entry door installation in Miami Beach typically starts around $1,400 for a standard steel door and runs higher for fiberglass or custom wood options.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

This is the door category where Miami Beach’s building code leaves no room for shortcuts. A hurricane-proof front door in Miami Beach must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA), which certifies the entire assembly tested and approved for high-velocity hurricane zones. We install NOA-approved door systems with laminated impact glass, multi-point locking hardware, and marine-grade stainless hinges specified for salt-air environments. On beachfront and elevated entries, we match the design pressure rating to the opening, never guessing at wind loads. Expect pricing from $2,800 to $7,500 depending on material, size, and the required DP rating.

French & Double Doors

French doors on a Miami Beach patio or balcony face two relentless forces: wind pressure and salt. We see French door installations in Miami Beach where the original builder used interior-grade hinges that corrode within three years and thresholds that trap water. Our French door installs use thermally broken frames, stainless hardware, and compression weatherstripping rated for coastal exposure. Whether you’re opening onto a courtyard in Normandy Isle or a bayfront terrace on Biscayne Point, we build the drainage plane correctly so water never finds the subfloor. Double door installations in Miami Beach typically run $2,200 to $6,800.

Replacement Doors

Most Miami Beach replacement door projects start with a failure: a lock that no longer engages, a threshold that lets daylight through, a frame that has rusted out from the bottom up. We remove the old door down to the rough opening, inspect for water damage, replace compromised framing lumber, and install the new door with proper flashing and anchorage. In the South Beach Historic District, this often means replicating the original door’s sightline and profile so the Certificate of Appropriateness review goes smoothly. Replacement door pricing in Miami Beach starts around $1,200 for a standard in-swing and climbs with size, impact rating, and historic compliance requirements.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Beach

We’re an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers, and on Miami Beach jobs we most often specify Therma-Tru fiberglass doors, Mr-Glass impact systems, and ES Windows thermally broken aluminum profiles. Why these three? Because they hold up to salt-laden air better than commodity products, and their Miami-Dade NOA documentation is clean and current. We stock common replacement hardware for these brands locally, which means a hinge or threshold repair for a Miami Beach customer doesn’t wait two weeks on a freight truck. Faster turnaround, fewer callbacks, and doors that still operate smoothly five years after installation.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Miami Beach Homes

• Salt-corroded thresholds and weep holes: The Atlantic and Biscayne Bay keep Miami Beach’s air saturated with salt, and even stainless-looking hardware can fail within three to five years. We stock marine-grade replacements and specify weep-hole drainage channels that shed water instead of trapping it. Most of the threshold rot we fix on Miami Beach barrier island homes traces back to a clogged weep system, not a door failure.
• Condominium opening mismatches on Collins Avenue: High-rise units often have non-standard rough openings that big-box pre-hung doors won’t fit. We field-measure every opening before ordering, and we’re comfortable working with building management on wind-load documentation and common-area access. Mis-measured condo doors are the most expensive mistake we see fixed on Collins and Ocean Drive.
• Historic Preservation Board rejections: A beautiful new impact door can still fail review if it alters the original opening’s profile or sightlines. We prepare Flamingo Park and South Beach Historic District installations with the board’s design guidelines in mind from day one, saving homeowners weeks of back-and-forth. The goal is approval on the first submission.
• Undersized anchors on elevated or beachfront entries: Wind pressures on a direct oceanfront door are brutal, and anchors that pass in inland Miami fail on Miami Beach. Our installs use anchors and fasteners rated for the specific HVHZ wind zone, and we verify embedment depth before the door is hung. A door is only as good as what holds it to the jamb.

What Door Installation Costs in Miami Beach

Let’s be straight about the full door investment picture. A premium impact-rated entry door in Miami Beach, including a properly anchored frame, marine-grade hardware, and finished trim, lands between $2,800 and $7,500. Large or custom openings, like eight-foot double doors or arched entries on historic properties, push into $5,000 to $9,000. Whole-home door replacement packages, which are common when a Miami Beach homeowner wants every exterior opening impact-compliant, run $8,000 to $25,000+, depending on door count, opening sizes, and whether we’re working inside the South Beach Historic District with its additional review requirements. High-rise condos on Collins Avenue often see different pricing because the building’s wind zone and floor height demand higher design pressure ratings, and those doors cost more to manufacture. The free in-home measure and written quote we provide never obligates you, and it’s the only way to get an exact number for your specific openings. Call (863) 656-0462 to schedule yours.

Florida Pays You Back

Door installation in Miami Beach can qualify for several incentive programs, and they stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact-rated doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax, which shaves 6% off your material bill right away. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year for qualifying energy-efficient exterior doors. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150 on Miami Beach), many homeowners secure a windstorm-premium reduction of around 25% on the wind portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee any specific rebate or credit, because carriers and program funding set those final numbers. But we’ll point you to every program your doors qualify for and provide the documentation you need to apply.
