AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Miami
Door installation in Miami costs $1,200 to $7,500 for most homes, with hurricane-rated entry doors running $2,500 to $6,500 installed. The price swings on one thing more than anything else: whether the door carries a Miami-Dade NOA and the anchors, frame hardware, and install method to back it up. Our crews work in Miami every week, know the block-home quirks from Little Havana to Shenandoah, and show up with the right hardware for salt air and concrete block, not whatever fits a generic spec sheet. Call (863) 656-0462 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the Door Installation team answers to him. That matters when a door has to hold up to 150 mph gusts, insurance inspectors, and ten years of Biscayne Bay salt.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We have spent over 15 years working South Florida masonry homes, and the bulk of our team’s work in this corridor happens right here in Miami. Our installers know that most front doors in Hialeah, Allapattah, and Westchester are set into concrete block, not wood framing. That changes everything about anchoring, flashing, and stucco repair around the opening. A crew that mostly installs in wood-frame subdivisions upstate will not know to Tapcon into block, set a steel buck, or flash for wind-driven rain the way Miami demands.
Every technician who comes to your door is background-checked, uniformed, and working for an owner-operated company with a published address and license number. No subcontracted crews, no ticket numbers, no call centers. A live person answers the phone 24/7, which is exactly what you want when a failed hinge or shattered side-lite happens at 11 p.m. the week before hurricane season turns serious.
And we back the work with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. That promise has covered doors from Coral Way to the Upper East Side since we first set up in this market.
Our Door Installation Services in Miami
Entry Doors
A new front entry door in Miami typically runs $1,500 to $4,800 installed, depending on the material, glass package, and whether the opening needs a new steel buck or stucco tie-in. We install fiberglass, steel, and solid wood entry doors sized for CBS openings, and we always verify the rough opening dimensions in person before ordering. No re-measure surprises.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the door category that matters most in Miami. A hurricane-rated entry door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA for the HVHZ, not just a Florida Product Approval. We install impact-rated Therma-Tru and ES Windows entry systems with the design pressure ratings matched to your specific opening, and we handle the anchoring details that make the difference during a windstorm event. Expect $2,800 to $6,500 installed for a proper NOA-rated front door on a block home, including steel buck, masonry anchors, and stucco repair.
French & Double Doors
French and double door installations in Miami run $3,500 to $8,000, with the high end covering impact-rated glass packages and custom sizing for older mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Morningside and Belle Meade. Double doors are only as strong as the center mullion and the active-leaf anchoring, so we carry the reinforced astragals and flush bolts that meet HVHZ large-missile testing. A big-box double door without NOA documentation is not something we will knowingly install in Miami-Dade.
Replacement Doors
Replacing an aged or corroded door in a 1950s or 1960s CBS house is one of our most common Miami jobs. We handle full-frame replacements for rusted hollow metal doors, sagging jalousie side-lite conversions, and slab replacements on solid wood frames that are still worth saving. Replacement door work here runs $900 to $3,200 for most standard openings, and we will tell you honestly whether the frame is worth keeping or the salt air has already won.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm doors protect your primary door from Miami’s daily UV load and afternoon wind-blown rain, and they buy years on the finish of the main entry door behind them. We install aluminum and steel storm doors from $700 to $1,800, with corrosion-resistant hardware that holds up on barrier island homes. If the storm door is meant to add any structural wind protection, we will walk you through what it does and does not qualify for under wind mitigation standards.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We are an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, ES Windows, and Mr-Glass, among others, and we keep Miami-specific product familiarity, not a catalog, at the center of what we recommend. Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors hold paint and resist warping in our humidity better than wood alternatives, and their impact-rated lines carry Miami-Dade NOA listings. ES Windows and Mr-Glass cover higher-end and custom glass door applications where the design pressure and finish matter most. When we spec a door for a Miami house, we look at the NOA number, the PSF rating on the specific configuration, and the frame hardware before we ever talk about what it looks like.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Salt air pitting on unprotected aluminum frames: On Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles Beach, uncoated aluminum door frames show visible pitting within two to three years. The salt spray off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic eats jamb corners and hinge knuckles first, then the sag begins.
- Non-NOA doors on pre-1970s CBS homes: Thousands of Miami houses still have original jalousie or hollow metal doors that fail HVHZ large-missile impact tests outright. Insurance companies increasingly ask for the product approval number before writing or renewing a wind policy.
- Wrong anchors into concrete block: We have pulled out doors installed with wood screws driven straight into block. Hurricane wind loads can pop the entire door unit out of the opening. Tapcons into solid block, steel bucks, and proper header anchorage are non-negotiable in a Miami install.
- Frame rot and jamb corrosion from wind-driven rain: Miami storms push rain sideways. If the door was flashed with builder-grade tape or none at all, water works behind the stucco and rots the framing or rusts the jamb from the inside out.
What Door Installation Costs in Miami
The numbers below are what we actually write on Miami estimates, not national averages pulled from a database. A standard slab replacement on an existing solid frame starts around $900 to $1,600. A full-frame replacement entry door in a block home runs $2,200 to $4,800 installed. Impact-rated, NOA-listed front doors land at $2,800 to $6,500, and double doors with impact glass run $3,500 to $8,000. Most of what moves the price is the opening count, the wind zone for your specific address, the floor height (second-story openings get higher PSF requirements), and whether we are drilling into block or tying into wood framing.
We do not give ballpark numbers and then pad the invoice. We measure, write a line-item quote, and the price stays fixed unless you change the scope. Call (863) 656-0462 to schedule the free in-home measure and get real numbers for your specific door.
Pricing for Door Installation in Miami, FL
For a straightforward door swap in a Miami block home with no structural surprises, budget $1,200 to $3,500 for a non-impact door and $3,000 to $6,500 for a hurricane-rated unit. Custom openings, double doors, or units from premium lines like Therma-Tru’s impact series can push toward $8,000. The coastal-spec upgrades that matter in Miami, like stainless hinges, marine-grade weatherstripping, and properly sealed thresholds, add $150 to $500 over the cheap inland-spec version of the same door. We will always quote both and tell you which one costs less over ten years.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners have real money available to offset a door upgrade, and we will walk you through what applies to your estimate, but we will not promise a dollar figure the program does not guarantee. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, and impact-rated doors have qualified in past cycles. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost on qualifying exterior doors, up to $600 per year. And after a wind mitigation inspection (usually $75 to $150), many Miami homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The insurance carrier sets the final number, not us.

FAQs - Door Installation in Miami
Yes. Every door installed in a Miami-Dade address must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is stricter than the statewide Florida Building Code. Many doors legally sold in Tampa or Orlando cannot be installed here because their product approvals were not submitted through Miami-Dade’s process. If your insurance company asks for the NOA number and your door does not have one, the wind mitigation credit is gone and the policy may not renew. Call (863) 656-0462 and we will check the NOA on your existing door and whatever you are considering.
Sometimes, but on Miami block homes from that era, the frame is part of the problem. If the steel or wood buck is still square, anchored, and free of salt corrosion, a slab replacement can work and save you $1,000 to $2,500. If the jamb is rusted or the corners are pulling away from the stucco, the full frame has to come out. We will inspect it before we quote anything, and we will tell you if keeping the frame is a false economy. Estimates are free.
Because Miami-Dade insurers price windstorm risk based on whether the openings in your home can survive a large-missile impact test. An unrated door or one with no NOA is treated as a failure point that lets wind pressurize the interior and lift the roof. Impact-rated doors with the right design pressure rating, properly documented, are what trigger premium credits. We provide the NOA and product approval documentation with every hurricane-rated door we install.
On the barrier islands, we regularly see uncoated aluminum frames pitting within two to three years. The same door in Westchester or Little Havana might go eight to ten before the finish starts to fail. The difference is the constant salt spray and onshore wind. That is why we spec stainless or hot-dip galvanized hinges, corrosion-resistant thresholds, and marine-grade weatherstripping on coastal jobs. The coastal-spec hardware package costs $150 to $500 more upfront, and skipping it means replacing the door at least a decade sooner. Call (863) 656-0462 for a quote on the correct spec for your address.
We strongly recommend against it. Jalousie side-lites from the pre-1970s era have no HVHZ large-missile rating, no NOA, and most insurance policies will not credit the opening as protected as long as they remain. We replaced the front entry door on a 1958 CBS home in Little Havana where the original jalousie side-lites were so corroded the aluminum mullions crumbled when our tech touched them. The opening was block with no wood buck, so we used Tapcon anchors into the masonry, installed a steel buck, and set a Therma-Tru impact-rated door with Miami-Dade NOA. The homeowner had been rejected for wind mitigation credits because the old door had no Florida Product Approval. You can replace just the center door today, but the side-lites will keep holding your insurance savings hostage.
