AfterTrusted Door Installation for Lighthouse Point Homeowners
Door installation in Lighthouse Point typically runs $1,200-$4,800 depending on the door type, frame condition, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated hardware for Florida Building Code compliance. Most residential installs we complete in Lighthouse Point finish in a single day, with the measured survey and written quote delivered before any work begins. Call (754) 600-8907 to schedule your free measured survey - the same document becomes your final invoice under Haven Clause 1.
We’ve installed and replaced doors across Lighthouse Point since 2012, and we also offer our Door Installation in Pompano Beach, from the waterfront properties along the Intracoastal to the single-family homes near Dan Witt Park and the neighborhoods between Sample Road and Northeast 48th Street. Every one of those 18,000+ openings left with a written price before work started, a documented photo record when it finished, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the job. The salt air here is real, the hurricane season is predictable, and the Florida Building Code doesn’t negotiate - your door either meets the standard or it doesn’t. We measure for code compliance, not optimism.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before they arrive at your Lighthouse Point home. Live phone coverage is available 24/7. The person who answers can schedule your measured survey, explain which manufacturer lines suit your opening, and tell you exactly what documentation you’ll receive.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry Doors
An entry door is the primary access point to your home, and in Lighthouse Point it must balance security, energy performance, and curb appeal against the realities of South Florida’s climate. We see the most wear at the threshold and jamb in homes near the water, where salt corrosion accelerates hardware failure and frame swelling. Sightline measures your rough opening to 1/16 inch, specifies the correct sill pan and flashing integration for your wall type, and installs from PGT, Therma-Tru, or ViewLux lines based on your performance tier and budget - every selection documented in the written scope you keep.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Hurricane-proof front and entry doors in Lighthouse Point must meet or exceed Florida Building Code requirements for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones, including Miami-Dade and Broward protocols. These are not standard doors with added hardware; they are engineered systems of impact-rated glass, reinforced frames, and multi-point locking tested to withstand missile impact and cyclic pressure. We specify PGT WinGuard or CGI Estate Collections for most Lighthouse Point openings, with NOA documentation provided for permit submission. Every hurricane-rated install we complete includes permit pulling, inspection scheduling, and the photo record required by Haven Clause 4.
French & Double Doors
French and double doors create wide openings between interior and exterior spaces, popular in Lighthouse Point homes for pool access and Intracoastal views. The critical failure point is always the astragal and multi-point alignment - two moving slabs must seal as one unit against wind-driven rain. We measure sightline alignment across both panels, specify adjustable hinges and interlocking meeting stiles from CWS or ES Windows lines, and document the operational test with photos. If your existing French doors are sticking at the center or leaking at the base, the frame is likely out of plumb or the hardware has settled; we diagnose this in the measured survey and name the correction in writing.
Replacement Doors
Replacement door installation addresses the full opening system: slab, frame, hardware, and integration with existing siding or stucco. In Lighthouse Point homes built between 1950 and 1990, we regularly find non-standard rough openings, rotted king studs, and original frames without sill pans - conditions that require reframing before the new door can perform as rated. We don’t quote a door swap and discover reframing later; the measured survey captures frame moisture readings, stud condition, and wall thickness so the written scope includes every necessary correction. Your replacement door from ECO Window Systems or Mr-Glass arrives sized for the actual opening, not the nominal one.
Storm & Exterior Doors
Storm and exterior doors provide a protective outer barrier for primary entry doors, common in Lighthouse Point for added security and energy buffering during shoulder seasons. These are not impact-rated systems unless specifically labeled; we clarify this distinction in writing because the terminology confuses many homeowners. We install aluminum and composite storm door systems from ViewLux and Therma-Tru with proper hinge-side reinforcement and closer adjustment, specifying whether the unit is meant for ventilation, security, or thermal buffering. The measured survey notes your entry door swing, stile width, and porch depth to ensure the storm door doesn’t conflict with existing hardware.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We’ve installed PGT doors across more than 6,000 openings since 2012, primarily their WinGuard aluminum and vinyl impact-rated lines for coastal Florida applications. PGT’s NOA documentation is the most widely accepted in Broward County permitting, and we maintain direct specification access to their architectural services team for non-standard Lighthouse Point openings - arched tops, oversized transoms, and custom jamb depths that require shop drawings.
CGI’s Estate Collection and Sentinel lines handle the high-end residential market in Lighthouse Point, and we bring that same expertise to Boca Raton Door Installation, particularly for estate homes along the Intracoastal where sightline aesthetics and hardware finish are specified by architects. We’ve completed CGI installs with oil-rubbed bronze multi-point hardware, custom sidelite configurations, and impact-rated pivot door systems. CWS provides our mid-tier energy-efficient and impact options with strong lead times for standard sizes, while ES Windows contributes thermally broken aluminum frames for homeowners prioritizing U-factor performance over impact rating. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other manufacturer, we can service, replace, or upgrade your door system with OEM-compatible hardware and documented performance specifications.

AfterSigns You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Visible daylight around the frame perimeter. Gaps between the door slab and jamb, or between the frame and wall, indicate seal failure that admits water, insects, and unconditioned air. In Lighthouse Point’s humid climate, this accelerates interior mold growth and raises cooling load; we measure gap width and frame squareness to determine whether weatherstripping correction or full replacement is required.
- Difficulty latching or locking. A door that requires shoulder pressure to engage the deadbolt has settled or warped, compromising security and potentially damaging the strike plate. Multi-point locks on modern systems won’t engage at all if the slab is misaligned; we check keeper alignment and frame plumb as part of every measured survey.
- Water staining at the threshold or baseboard. Interior water damage below a door opening indicates sill pan failure, improper flashing, or missing end dams - common in Lighthouse Point homes where original construction predated current water management standards. This condition rots the subfloor and wall framing; we use moisture meters to map the damage extent before quoting repair scope.
- Corroded or failing hardware. Salt air corrodes hinges, locks, and closer mechanisms within 5-7 years for non-marine-grade hardware. If your door hardware is seizing, flaking, or operating with visible resistance, the underlying mechanism is compromised and may damage the door slab if forced.
- Single-pane glass or non-impact rating in a HVHZ. Lighthouse Point sits within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; doors with unprotected glass or non-rated assemblies won’t pass inspection for replacement or sale, and they create genuine liability during storm events. We verify your current rating against Florida Building Code Chapter 16 requirements and specify compliant replacements with permit-ready documentation.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and written scope. Our technician arrives at your Lighthouse Point home with a laser measure, moisture meter, and level. We record rough opening dimensions to 1/16 inch, assess frame and subfloor condition, identify your wall type, and note any electrical or plumbing interference. You receive this document to keep; it becomes the basis for your written quote and, under Haven Clause 1, cannot differ from your final invoice.
- 2
Product specification and pricing. Using the measured survey, we specify the manufacturer line, model, hardware finish, and performance rating appropriate for your opening and budget. We name the price in dollars, line-itemed: door unit, frame preparation, hardware, permit fees, and disposal. No aggregate lump sums, no “allowances” that shift later. You review and approve in writing before ordering.
- 3
Permit application and scheduling. For impact-rated and exterior door replacements in Lighthouse Point, we pull the permit, submit manufacturer NOA documentation, and schedule required inspections. You receive permit numbers and inspection dates in writing. Haven Clause 2 means we arrive on the scheduled date, not a window.
- 4
Installation and operational testing. Our verified crew removes the existing unit, prepares the opening to manufacturer specification, installs the new door with proper shimming and fastening, integrates flashing and sealant per detail drawing, and tests all hardware functions. We check latch engagement, lock cylinder operation, closer speed, and sweep contact. The crew lead documents each phase with photos.
- 5
Final documentation and warranty activation. You receive the completed photo record, inspection sign-off, care and maintenance instructions specific to your door’s materials, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation. If adjustment is needed within that year, we return and correct under Haven Clause 5 - no surprises, no dispute.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Lighthouse Point?
A standard entry door replacement in Lighthouse Point typically runs $1,200-$2,400 for a prehung fiberglass or steel unit with basic hardware, installed in a sound existing frame. Hurricane-rated impact entry doors range $2,800-$4,800 depending on glass configuration, frame material, and hardware grade - single doors at the lower end, double-door or sidelite configurations at the higher. French and double door systems generally fall between $3,200-$5,500, with premium CGI or PGT impact-rated assemblies reaching the upper range for custom sizes or architectural hardware.
Several factors move these ranges. Frame condition is the largest variable: a rotted or out-of-square rough opening requires reframing, which adds $400-$900 depending on stud replacement and siding repair extent. Impact-rated glass versus laminated decorative glass can shift material cost by 30-40 percent. Hardware upgrades - multi-point locks, smart lock prep, custom finishes - add line items we name specifically. Permit and inspection fees for Broward County are typically $150-$300 and are listed separately, not buried in overhead.
To avoid overpaying, obtain a written scope that specifies manufacturer, model number, performance rating, and every preparation step. Vague quotes that name “a fiberglass door” without manufacturer or “frame repair as needed” without unit pricing invite change orders. Our measured survey eliminates this by documenting actual conditions before pricing. The estimate is free, the documentation is yours to keep, and we offer a free second opinion on any competitor’s written estimate - bring us their scope and we’ll review it for completeness and accuracy at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Lighthouse Point
Door installation is the complete replacement or new fitting of a door system including the slab, frame, hardware, and weatherseal integration with the surrounding wall. At Sightline, every door installation in Lighthouse Point - like our Door Installation in Margate - begins with a measured survey of your rough opening and ends with a documented photo record, operational testing, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We handle exterior entry doors, interior passage doors, French and double door systems, and impact-rated hurricane assemblies.
Most single door replacements in Lighthouse Point complete in 4-6 hours; French door systems or openings requiring reframing typically take one full day.

We provide expedited installation for security-compromised or weather-damaged doors that cannot secure your Lighthouse Point home, with live phone coverage 24/7 to assess urgency and schedule priority response. True emergencies - break-ins, storm damage, or structural failure - are distinguished from planned replacements; we don’t manufacture urgency for standard projects. Call (754) 600-8907 any time to describe your situation and receive an honest timeline.
Every door installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, written into the Haven Standard that governs all 18,000+ installations since 2012. This covers workmanship, hardware function, seal performance, and frame integrity for one year from completion. Manufacturer warranties on the door unit itself - typically 10 years to lifetime depending on brand and line - run separately and are registered in your name at installation. Documentation for both warranties is included in your closing packet.
Clear a 6-foot workspace on both sides of the door, remove wall decorations and window treatments near the opening, and secure pets in a separate area. Our crew brings drop cloths, dust containment, and debris removal; you don’t need to provide tools or access equipment. If you have an alarm system connected to the door, notify your monitoring company of the temporary disconnection. We’ll confirm any site-specific preparation when we schedule your installation date. Call (754) 600-8907 with questions about your particular opening.
