Door replacement in Sunny Isles Beach costs $1,800 to $5,500 for a standard exterior door with impact-rated glass, and $300 to $900 for a quality interior door slab installed.

Juniper Windows & Doors serves every condo tower and waterfront home from Golden Shores to the Collins Avenue corridor, with the same written price before any work starts and a 365-day guarantee on every installation. If your door sticks, seizes, or simply looks tired, call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll measure it and hand you a number that won’t change.
Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Sunny Isles Beach’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We’re part of Relay Home Co., founded in 2001, and the windows-and-doors specialist with eight product lines including PGT, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. Sunny Isles Beach customers tell us the same thing: they want the job priced like a rideshare, not an auction. That’s The Relay Standard: book, get a live arrival time, see photos of the work, and receive a written price before anything is ordered. Sean Mackey leads the team, and every technician who walks into a Sunny Isles Beach condo is background-checked and uniformed.
Our crews know this barrier island’s quirks. We’ve worked in buildings from 300 block of Collins Avenue up to the 18000 block, and we understand condo board requirements, freight elevator scheduling, and the HVHZ paperwork your association needs. A real person answers our phone 24/7, so when a front door seizes at 8 p.m., you don’t get a voicemail maze. You get help.
Interior Door Installation in Sunny Isles Beach
Interior door installation in Sunny Isles Beach often means replacing slabs that have warped in the humidity swings between oceanfront mornings and air-conditioned afternoons. We see hollow-core doors from the 1990s and early 2000s that now bind against the frame, refuse to latch, or show visible bowing. In condo units without year-round climate control, this happens faster. We remove the old slab, check the jamb for square, and install a new pre-hung unit or slab matched to your existing hardware, with clean trim and no drywall patching surprises.
Slab Replacement for Condos and High-Rises
A simple slab swap runs $300 to $600 including labor and hardware adjustment. Many Sunny Isles Beach condos have door dimensions slightly taller than standard, so we measure every opening rather than assume. If the jamb itself has shifted, we quote the full pre-hung replacement at $500 to $900.
Pre-Hung Interior Doors With Coastal-Grade Hardware
For renovations around Golden Shores or along Sunny Isles Boulevard, a pre-hung solid-core door makes sense: $600 to $900 installed. We use screws and hinges specified for humid environments, so you won’t be re-tightening a sagging door every other year. The price includes haul-away of the old unit and final sweep of the room.
Door Installers in Sunny Isles Beach
Door installers in Sunny Isles Beach have to deal with what the Atlantic sends inland: salt-laden air, morning humidity, and the occasional tropical storm warning that makes an impact-rated opening the difference between security and a failed inspection. Our installers adjust pocket depths on concrete and block walls, set thresholds to prevent water intrusion, and use stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchors on every exterior door. For interior jobs, the focus is square frames and clean reveals in buildings where floors have settled slightly.
Exterior Door Setting and Weatherproofing
We typically replace an oceanfront entry door in one day once the unit arrives. Custom fabrication takes 4 to 6 weeks, usually for oversized openings in older towers. Every exterior install in Sunny Isles Beach gets a sill pan set in sealant rated for coastal chloride exposure, plus stainless hinge screws, because we know what standard carbon-steel screws look like after three years here.
Interior Door Hanging and Hardware
For interior work, our lead installer walks the unit, marks each door location, and sets doors to the existing floor height. That matters in condos where carpet has been swapped for tile. Labor for a standard interior door runs $150 to $250 if you already have the slab, more if we supply it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunny Isles Beach
Sunny Isles Beach customers can choose from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For oceanfront front doors, we often pair a Therma-Tru fiberglass slab with PGT impact-rated glazing because the combination handles salt air and design pressure without warping. We also stock common replacement hardware locally for these brands around Sunny Isles Beach, which cuts turnaround when a latch or threshold needs swapping quickly. Need a specific finish? We’ll order it and show you the tracking.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Sunny Isles Beach Homes
- Chloride-corroded hinge screws and strike plates: airborne salt from the Atlantic settles on carbon-steel hardware and blooms within months. Screws snap during routine adjustments, the door sags, and the wind mitigation seal fails. We replace everything with stainless or hot-dip galvanized.
- Chalking and pitting frames on oceanfront units: non-marine-grade aluminum and steel frames pit quickly within a few hundred yards of the water. Water follows the pitting into the jamb, mold forms behind it, and the HVHZ rating is compromised. Marine-grade finishes and sealed penetrations stop this.
- Warped interior slabs from humidity swings: units without year-round climate control see hollow-core doors bow, bind, and fail to latch. Replacing with solid-core or quality MDF slabs, properly sealed on all edges, prevents most of the recurring callbacks.
- Thresholds that leak during storm season: old thresholds with failed sealant let driven rain under the door. We see it on west-facing units along Intracoastal Waterway, where afternoon storms push water hard. A new sill pan and marine sealant usually solve it.
Pricing for Door Replacement in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
For exterior doors in Sunny Isles Beach, plan on $1,800 to $5,500 depending on the opening size, glazing package, and whether you need HVHZ-compliant impact glass. A basic fiberglass door with a single impact lite runs $1,800 to $2,800. A custom oceanfront entry with sidelites and PGT impact glazing pushes toward $5,000 and sometimes higher in older high-rises with non-standard rough openings. Interior doors run $300 to $900 installed, and hardware upgrades are extra. We give a written line-item quote free of charge, and that number is final. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule the measure.
What Door Replacement Costs in Sunny Isles Beach
Beyond the door itself, the price is driven by opening count, wind zone, and floor height. An impact-rated single door at ground level costs less to install than a 14th-floor unit where the crane and freight elevator eat time. Frame material moves the number too: fiberglass holds up better near the ocean than steel, and wood doors in direct salt exposure will need more maintenance. For reference, impact windows in this market run $800 to $1,500 per unit installed, single-hung impact windows $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages land between $8,000 and $25,000 and up. The smart move is a free in-home measure with a written quote, so you know exactly where your project lands.
Salt Air Decides the Spec, Not the Schedule
Sunny Isles Beach sits on a barrier island where airborne chloride from the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on door hardware and frames, so every exterior door we spec here (from the jamb anchors to the threshold screws) must be stainless or hot-dip galvanized to meet HVHZ durability expectations, unlike inland Miami-Dade where standard fasteners can last years longer. We were called to a Collins Avenue high-rise unit where the oceanfront entry door had seized shut: the aluminum threshold screws were white with chloride bloom and the casement-style side lite jamb had rotted from the inside out. We replaced the assembly with a Therma-Tru fiberglass door and PGT impact-rated glazing featuring a laminated interlayer and marine-grade finish on all hardware, then sealed every penetration with silicone rated for coastal exposure. Six months later, that door still swings clean with zero corrosion at the hinges.
The price gap between coastal-spec and inland-spec is real. A standard door installed with carbon-steel screws and basic sealant may save $150 to $300 upfront. Within a decade, the cheap spec costs more: snapped hinges, failed wind mitigation, mold behind the jamb, and a re-installation at full price. We quote the coastal spec every time because we’ve seen the alternative too many times to sell it.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real incentives for impact-rated openings. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many Sunny Isles Beach homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by around 25%. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we won’t promise a rebate we can’t guarantee, but we’ll point you to the paperwork and hand you the product approvals you need.
One comparison we hear often: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Impact glass protects the opening permanently, with no panels to haul, store, or forget during a warning. Shutters do a job, but they rely on someone being home and acting fast. For a door that faces the ocean, permanent protection also carries the financing incentives above, which shutters generally don’t.
Ratings matter here. Every exterior door we install in Sunny Isles Beach carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for its configuration, design pressures matched to the opening, and HVHZ compliance where the wind zone requires it. We won’t sell a rating we can’t document.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Sunny Isles Beach
Sunny Isles Beach sits on a barrier island, and the Atlantic air carries chloride that settles on metal surfaces. Carbon-steel hinges and strike plates begin to bloom with corrosion within a year or two and often snap by year five. Inland Miami sees less of that salt load, which is why doors here need stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware, not the hardware store standard. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll inspect your existing hardware during a free estimate.
Your front door should have impact-rated glazing that carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the exact configuration, with design pressure matched to your building’s wind zone and floor height. In practice, we pair a Therma-Tru fiberglass slab with PGT impact lites that use a laminated interlayer to hold the glass together even when cracked. For oceanfront units, marine-grade hardware finishes are equally important, since a great lite in a corroded frame does you no good.
If the replacement is impact-rated and documented with a wind mitigation inspection, many Sunny Isles Beach homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop roughly 25%. The inspection typically costs $75 to $150 and is your proof to the carrier. We provide the product approval paperwork, and we’ll tell you before you buy whether the door configuration qualifies, so call (682) 281-2168 to talk it through.
A standard interior slab usually works, but humidity swings near the ocean cause cheap hollow-core doors to bow and bind, especially if the unit lacks year-round climate control. We recommend a solid-core or quality MDF slab with sealed edges, matched to the jamb that is already in place. That upgrade usually runs $300 to $600 installed and avoids the recurring latch and bind callbacks.
Coastal-spec door replacement in Sunny Isles Beach runs about $150 to $300 more per opening than a standard inland job, and that money goes to stainless fasteners, marine-grade finishes, sealed penetrations, and sometimes a heavier threshold. The inland version may look identical on day one; the difference shows up in year three when the hinges start to corrode. We quote the coastal spec on every exterior door here and will show you the line items, so the choice is never hidden.
