AfterTrusted Door Installation for Sunrise, FL Homeowners
Door installation in Sunrise, FL typically costs $1,200-$4,800 depending on door type, framing condition, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated products for hurricane compliance. Most standard installations are completed in a single day, with impact-rated and custom units requiring one to two additional days for proper sealing and inspection. Since 2012, Sightline Windows & Doors has installed and replaced more than 18,000 openings across Broward County - including Door Installation - Fort Lauderdale - under the Haven Standard, and every one began with a measured survey the customer keeps and a written price that does not change.
Sunrise presents specific challenges for door installation that we measure for on every visit. The city’s location in the Atlantic hurricane zone means most exterior doors must meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, and many homeowners in neighborhoods like Sawgrass Estates, Welleby, and Sunrise Golf Village are replacing original 1980s and 1990s doors that were installed before current impact standards. We also see recurring issues in Sunrise’s older concrete-block construction where the original rough openings were poured with minimal tolerance, making precise sightline measurement essential before any product is ordered. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival, per Haven Clause 3. We also offer Door Installation in Margate. Call (754) 254-5294 to schedule your free measured survey.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
An entry door is the primary access point to your home, and in Sunrise it must balance security, energy performance, and hurricane resistance. We measure the existing rough opening to 1/16-inch tolerance, check the concrete or wood frame for level and plumb, and specify the correct jamb depth for your wall construction. Our entry door installations include Therma-Tru fiberglass systems and steel options from PGT and CGI, with written U-factor and SHGC ratings provided before you select.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Hurricane-proof front and entry doors are impact-rated assemblies tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards, required in Sunrise’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We install laminated glass inserts, reinforced jambs, and multi-point locking hardware that meets Miami-Dade County product approval, even though Sunrise falls under Broward’s jurisdiction. Our measured survey documents your exposure rating, whether your home faces open terrain across the Sawgrass Expressway or is shielded by neighboring structures in a cul-de-sac, because wind-load calculations vary.
French & Double Doors
French and double doors create wide openings to patios and pool areas common in Sunrise’s ranch-style and Mediterranean-influenced homes. These installations demand precise alignment of two independent door slabs on a shared frame, with adjustable hinges and coordinated multipoint locks. We specify products from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems with thermally broken aluminum frames, and we document the sightline gap between doors to 1/32 inch so the pair seals uniformly when locked.
Replacement Doors
Replacement door installation addresses the full assembly: slab, frame, hardware, and threshold, not just swapping the visible panel. In Sunrise we frequently find original frames rotted at the sill or corroded by salt air infiltration, particularly in homes west of Flamingo Road with less windbreak from coastal vegetation. Our replacement process includes a moisture probe reading of the existing subfloor and a photo record of what we find, included as standard evidence under Haven Clause 4.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm and exterior doors provide a secondary barrier against wind-driven rain and debris, often installed in combination with primary entry systems. We stock and install aluminum storm door frames from Mr-Glass with retractable screen options, and we verify that the combined assembly does not exceed the structural load limits of your existing hinge-side framing. Every storm door installation in Sunrise includes written confirmation that the product is rated for the exposure category we documented in your survey.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We specify from eight manufacturer lines, selected by what your opening requires rather than what we have in stock. For entry and patio door systems, we regularly install Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel doors with their proprietary AccuGrain technology, which we’ve found holds paint finish longer than standard gel-coated surfaces in Sunrise’s high-UV exposure. Our ES Windows and ECO Window Systems aluminum lines are specified for impact-rated French and sliding door applications where thermal performance must meet Energy Star requirements for South Florida climate zone. We also install Mr-Glass laminated glass assemblies for custom openings and storefront-style residential entries in Sunrise’s newer construction.
Whether you have Therma-Tru, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or any other make, we can help. Our technicians carry manufacturer-specific installation instructions and maintain direct technical support relationships with each brand’s engineering department. If your existing door is from a discontinued line, we document the hinge bore spacing, backset dimension, and jamb profile so the replacement fits without frame modification. Bring us any competitor’s written estimate and we will review it at no charge under our Free Second Opinion policy.

AfterSigns You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Visible daylight around the frame perimeter. Gaps between your door slab and the jamb, or between the jamb and the wall framing, indicate seal failure that allows unconditioned air infiltration. In Sunrise’s cooling-dominated climate, this drives energy costs upward and can introduce enough moisture to degrade the subfloor over time.
- Difficulty latching or locking. A door that requires shoulder pressure to engage the deadbolt, or a handle set that binds, signals frame settlement or hinge wear. We measure the reveal gap around the slab to determine whether the issue is hinge sag, frame twist, or foundation movement common in Broward’s sandy soils.
- Corrosion on hardware or threshold. Salt air from coastal breezes accelerates oxidation of brass and zinc hardware, and aluminum thresholds can pit where standing water collects. We see this frequently in Sunrise homes east of University Drive with eastern exposure to Atlantic wind patterns.
- Condensation between glass panes. Fogging inside a sealed insulating glass unit means the desiccant has failed and the low-E coating is degrading. For impact-rated doors, this also compromises the laminated interlayer’s adhesion, reducing debris-impact protection.
- Soft or discolored flooring at the sill. Water intrusion through a failed door threshold rots wood subfloors and can wick into wall framing. Our moisture probe readings at the sill area document the extent before we quote, so the scope includes any necessary subfloor repair.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and documentation. We arrive with a laser measure, digital level, and moisture meter. The technician records rough opening width, height, and squareness at three points; checks the floor for level across the sill span; and probes adjacent flooring for moisture content. You keep this survey document, and it becomes the basis for your written quote under Haven Clause 1.
- 2
Product specification and written quote. Using the survey measurements, we specify the exact door system, including frame material, glass package, hardware finish, and threshold type. The quote lists every line item with model numbers and performance ratings. It cannot differ from the survey document; if site conditions change, we re-measure and re-issue.
- 3
Order verification and scheduling. Once you approve the written quote, we confirm lead times with the manufacturer and schedule installation. For standard Therma-Tru and PGT entry systems, this is typically 2-3 weeks. Custom impact-rated units from CGI or CWS may require 4-6 weeks. We do not collect payment until the product is in our warehouse and the installation date is confirmed.
- 4
Installation and real-time documentation. Our uniformed, background-checked crew arrives with the product, installation hardware, and documentation tablet. They remove the existing door, inspect and repair the rough opening as specified in the quote, install the new assembly with shims and structural fasteners per manufacturer requirements, and seal with approved flashing tape and sealant. Photos are taken at rough opening, mid-installation, and completion.
- 5
Final inspection, testing, and photo record delivery. We operate the door through 50 open-close cycles, verify latch and deadbolt engagement, check weatherstrip compression with a feeler gauge, and confirm threshold drainage slope. The documented photo record, including the final invoice matching the original quote, is delivered to you within 24 hours. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job under the Haven Standard.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Sunrise?
A standard entry door replacement in Sunrise runs $1,200-$2,400, including removal of the existing unit, frame preparation, and installation of a prehung fiberglass or steel system with basic hardware. Impact-rated entry doors with laminated glass inserts and multi-point locking hardware typically range $2,800-$4,800, reflecting the cost of Miami-Dade approved assemblies and the additional labor for precise sealing and hardware alignment. French and double door installations in Sunrise fall between $3,200-$5,500 depending on width, with 6-foot pairs at the lower end and 8-foot systems with sidelites at the upper.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Frame condition is the most significant: a rotted wood frame or out-of-square concrete opening requires reframing or grinding, which adds $400-$900. Hardware upgrades, from standard bore sets to mortise locksets with decorative escutcheons, add $200-$600. Custom paint or stain finishes beyond factory white or almond add $150-$350. We do not quote without measuring, because these conditions are not visible until the existing door is removed.
To avoid overpaying, compare written quotes line by line, not just bottom-line totals. Some Sunrise contractors quote a low slab-only price, then add frame modification, disposal, and permit fees after work begins. We also offer our Door Installation in Pompano Beach with the same transparent pricing. Our quote includes every item; the measurement and the quote are the same document.
