AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across North Miami
Door installation in North Miami runs $1,400 to $6,800 for a standard entry or hurricane-rated front door, with French doubles and custom openings landing between $3,200 and $11,000. Most jobs take one to two days on-site once your door arrives, though custom fabrication adds 4 to 6 weeks. Winslow Windows & Doors has worked inside North Miami’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone long enough to know exactly which doors clear code and which ones get ripped out by county inspectors. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll send a tech to measure your rough opening, check your jamb condition, and hand you a written line-item quote before you commit to anything.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow’s name is on the business and on every door we set in North Miami, from the ranch houses off NE 125th Street to the waterfront lots in Keystone Point. That changes how we quote, how we install, and how we answer the phone when you call at 9 p.m. with a door that won’t latch after a storm. A live person picks up, 24/7. No call center, no ticket number.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and show up knowing North Miami’s specific code requirements. We pull county permits because North Miami sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade jurisdiction for permitting purposes for many residential projects. We know what the inspector is going to check before they walk in. That’s the difference between a door that passes inspection and one you pay to have pulled off the jamb.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a warranty card that expires when the ink dries. That’s Ed’s word, backed by a locally owned company that has been doing this since 2011, with a published address and license number. North Miami homeowners get standing offers too: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
Our Door Installation Services in North Miami
Entry Doors
A new entry door on a 1950s CBS ranch in North Miami does more than change curb appeal. It changes how your house breathes, how it seals against humidity, and whether it stays in the frame when a Category 3 arrives. Pair it with Energy-Efficient Windows - North Miami homeowners trust, and you seal the whole envelope. We install Therma-Tru and PGT entry doors sized to your existing rough opening, with composite frames that don’t rot in Florida’s wet season. Most North Miami entry door replacements run $1,400 to $3,800 installed, depending on glass options, hardware finish, and whether we need to reset the jamb.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the job we do most in North Miami, and for good reason. The entire city falls inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement door needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s the strictest product-approval standard in the country, and it exists because a door that meets Florida Building Code in Broward may not pass in North Miami. We install PGT and CGI NOA-certified impact doors with design pressures matched to your opening, plus marine-grade stainless hardware on homes near Biscayne Bay. Hurricane-proof front doors in North Miami typically cost $2,800 to $6,800 installed.
French & Double Doors
French double door installations in North Miami usually mean working around one of two conditions: a 60-inch rough opening on a 1960s ranch that was never framed for a double, or a corroded existing unit in a waterfront neighborhood like Keystone Point. Both are solvable. We order custom-fabricated units with narrower panels when the opening dictates, and we spec marine-grade finishes and stainless hardware when salt air is a factor. French double door replacement in North Miami runs $3,200 to $11,000 depending on glass, impact rating, and framing work. For garage access, ask about Impact Garage Doors - North Miami installations to match your home’s protection level.
Replacement Doors
Replacement doors in North Miami often come with a surprise underneath. The original jamb is rotted, the rough opening is out of square, or the old door was never properly flashed against driving rain. Our team strips the old unit, assesses the rough opening, and only then quotes the final number. That sequence matters. A replacement door installed over a compromised jamb will fail in two seasons, and you’ll pay twice. Replacement doors in North Miami run $1,800 to $7,500 installed, with the higher numbers reflecting structural repairs to the rough opening and HVHZ-compliant anchoring.

Trusted Door Installation Brands We Service in North Miami
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, three brands engineered specifically for Miami-Dade’s wind and salt conditions. We stock common replacement hardware, thresholds, and weatherstripping for North Miami jobs, which shortens turnaround on repairs and keeps simple fixes from turning into multi-week waits. When a homeowner in North Miami needs a new impact door, we quote the brand and configuration that matches their opening, not whatever’s on a warehouse shelf.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Salt-air frame corrosion near the bay. Homes in Keystone Point and along NE 135th Street face persistent marine exposure that pits aluminum frames and rots hardware in 12 to 15 years. If we don’t spec marine-grade finishes up front, the “impact upgrade” door fails early and needs a full frame-out replacement.
- Non-standard rough openings on 1950s-1970s ranch houses. North Miami’s CBS homes were built for jalousie-era aluminum doors, which means many rough openings are narrower or shallower than modern door units need. We frequently custom-fabricate or re-frame to make the new door fit properly.
- Rusted steel jambs in 1980s-1990s multifamily buildings. Garden-style condos throughout North Miami often have steel jamb frames that have rusted through after decades of humidity. The new door can’t be anchored until the jamb is rebuilt or replaced.
- Wrong product approvals triggering county permit rejections. We regularly hear from homeowners who bought a door from a big-box retailer, hired a handyman, and then had the county inspector red-tag the installation because the product lacked a Miami-Dade NOA. The door gets removed, the money’s gone, and the job starts over.
Pricing for Door Installation in North Miami, FL
A standard entry door replacement in North Miami runs $1,400 to $3,800 installed. Hurricane-rated front doors land between $2,800 and $6,800. French doubles start around $3,200 and climb to $11,000 for wide custom openings with impact glazing. The variables that move your number: whether the rough opening needs re-framing, whether the existing jamb is reusable, the design pressure rating your opening requires, and whether the door needs marine-grade hardware for bayfront exposure.
We don’t give verbal ballparks and then change the number on the invoice. You get a written line-item quote after we measure on-site. The quote covers the door, the hardware, the flashing, the anchoring, the county permit, and our labor. If the inspector flags something we missed, that’s our fix, not your charge. Call (850) 998-3090 to schedule your free in-home measure and written estimate.

Florida Pays You Back
North Miami homeowners have access to several incentive programs that can offset door installation costs. My Safe Florida Home matching grants offer up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many North Miami homeowners see roughly 25% knocked off the windstorm portion of their insurance premium. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we can’t guarantee your exact outcome, but we’ll point you toward the inspections and documentation you need.

FAQs - Door Installation in North Miami
Many residential door replacements in North Miami fall under Miami-Dade County permitting jurisdiction rather than a city-level process, which means the permit gets pulled through the county and the inspection follows the county’s HVHZ enforcement. That’s the stricter standard. Call (850) 998-3090 for a straight answer on your specific project, and we’ll confirm the permit path before any work begins.
Possibly, but the door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA and the installation must pass a wind-mitigation inspection. A single impact-rated front door can reduce your windstorm premium, but you’ll typically get the largest credit when the inspection confirms impact protection across all openings. We can recommend inspectors our North Miami customers use regularly and help you coordinate documentation.
You need a Miami-Dade NOA. Keystone Point sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and county inspectors reject doors that only carry Florida Product Approval, even if the same product would be legal just across the county line in Broward. We only install NOA-certified doors in North Miami because anything else risks a failed inspection and a door you have to pay to remove. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll quote you an NOA-certified door the first time.
In most North Miami waterfront cases, yes. Salt air from Biscayne Bay corrodes aluminum frame corners and weep-hole tracks within 12 to 15 years, and once the frame is pitted and out of square, the door can’t seal properly. You’ll typically need a full frame-out replacement with a marine-grade finish and stainless hardware. We did exactly this on a French double door in Keystone Point, where the original impact-rated frame had rotted after only 13 years. We spec’d a new CGI NOA-certified unit and through-bolted the jamb to meet HVHZ design pressure. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll tell you if yours is salvageable or needs to go.
Yes. A 60-inch rough opening is common on North Miami’s 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes, and it’s narrower than the 72-inch or 80-inch opening a standard French double wants. We order North Miami Custom & Geometric Windows and doors sized to fit the existing opening, or we re-frame the opening if you want full-width double doors. The re-frame route adds labor and drywall touch-up but gives you a standard double configuration. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll measure it and quote both options.
