AfterFast, Reliable Door Replacement Across Lantana
Door replacement in Lantana is not a one-size-fits-all job. Our coastal location means exterior openings have to meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards, and salt air does things to door jambs that inland contractors never see. Juniper Windows & Doors handles this every week, from interior slab swaps to full-frame impact-rated entry systems. We scope the job correctly the first time, give you a written price before any work starts, and back the installation with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free in-home measure and a line-item quote.

Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We are the windows and doors specialist inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2001. Sean Mackey leads our team with a simple operating rule: every job gets a written price before a single screw turns. Lantana homeowners tell us that is exactly what they want. No vague estimates, no scope creep at the door, no waiting around for a call back. Our dispatch is coordinated from our Miami South FL office, and our crews serve Lantana locally on a regular schedule.
Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. You will know who is coming, when they are arriving, and exactly what the work costs. We answer our phones live, 24/7. That is not a call center. It is a real person who can pull up your project and tell you where things stand.
Our Lantana customers consistently mention three things in reviews: the up-front written price, the respect for their home, and how fast the install crew works once materials arrive. If something is not right after the install, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we fix it, parts and labor, in writing, for a full year. The Door Replacement team is not satisfied until the door closes square, seals tight, and looks like it was always there.
Interior Door Replacement in Lantana
Interior Door Replacement in Lantana covers everything from hollow-core slab swaps to solid-core upgrades that cut noise between rooms. Many of the homes here were built in the 1960s through 1980s, and those original hollow doors do almost nothing for sound control. Replacing them with solid MDF or real wood doors is one of the fastest ways to make a Lantana home feel quieter and more substantial. A standard prehung interior door replacement runs $350-$650 per door including labor. Solid-core and custom sizes run $550-$900. Prehung means the door comes already mounted in its own frame, which fixes gaps from years of settling, a common issue in Lantana’s sandy soil.
Prehung Interior Slabs
When the frame is as worn as the slab, prehung is the right call. The old jamb comes out, the new frame gets shimmed square, and the door swings clean without dragging on the carpet or sticking at the header. This is standard for Lantana homes where slab settling has thrown the rough openings slightly out of square.
Solid-Core Noise Reduction Upgrades
Bedrooms near the main living area, or a home office next to a laundry room, benefit immediately from solid-core doors. They weigh more, feel more expensive, and cut sound transfer noticeably over hollow-core slabs. Many Lantana townhomes and condos have strict fire-rated door requirements for shared walls, and we match those specs with code-compliant assemblies.
Interior Door Installation in Lantana
Interior Door Installation in Lantana is the service you need when you have already purchased doors, or when you are refreshing multiple rooms at once and want them all to hang consistently. We measure every rough opening, check for out-of-square framing, and confirm the appropriate reveal so each door swings without binding. Installation only, using client-supplied doors, runs $150-$300 per door depending on whether new hardware and hinges are included. If we supply the door and hardware, it is $350-$900 per opening all in. The difference comes down to door material, prehung versus slab, and whether new casing trim is required to match existing millwork.
Multi-Room Interior Door Packages
When Lantana homeowners are repainting and replacing flooring, doing all the interior doors at once saves on setup time and guarantees consistent styles and gaps throughout. We quote the entire scope as a single line item so you see exactly what every door costs before we begin. That is the Relay Standard: written price, live arrival time, and before-and-after photos of every opening.
Hardware and Hinge Updates
Sometimes the doors themselves are fine and the real problem is worn hinges or dated hardware. We replace hinges, adjust reveals, and install new handlesets so doors close quietly and latch correctly. This is a fast job, usually completed in a single visit once the hardware arrives.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We keep our product lineup focused on doors and windows built for Florida’s wind zone. In Lantana, that means impact-rated assemblies from CGI, CWS, and Therma-Tru, plus ViewLux laminated glass options where the design calls for larger sightlines. Because we are a specialist and not a general contractor, our installers know the exact hardware, astragals, and threshold details these brands require for a proper HVHZ install. We do not lose a day because a crew had to figure out an unfamiliar product on your front porch. For Lantana customers waiting on a specific size or finish, we track lead times daily and keep you updated as soon as your door arrives.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-air jamb rot. Lantana’s proximity to the Intracoastal and the Atlantic means humidity and salt creep into exterior door frames faster than you would think. By the time a door drags or the deadbolt stops lining up, the jamb wood behind the casing is often soft. We rebuild the frame before hanging the new slab so the problem does not come back in two years.
- Skipped HVHZ product approval. We have seen Lantana homeowners buy an exterior door online or through a big-box installer only to have the permit rejected because the assembly lacks Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. The door might be impact-rated, but the full assembly, frame included, has to carry approval for the specific opening. We check this before ordering anything.
- Wrong design pressure rating. Lantana sits in a wind-borne debris region. Choosing a door with a design pressure under what the opening requires means a failed inspection and, later, a denied insurance claim. We match DP ratings to the opening, never above +/-100, so the permit clears the first time.
- Warped slabs from sun exposure. West-facing entry doors in Lantana take afternoon sun off the water and from direct exposure. Older steel and unreinforced fiberglass slabs warp and lose their weatherstripping seal. We replace them with insulated fiberglass or reinforced steel that will not bow under direct coastal heat.
Pricing for Door Replacement in Lantana, FL
Interior door replacement in Lantana generally runs $350-$900 per door installed, depending on whether it is a prehung or slab, hollow-core or solid-core. Exterior impact-rated doors run higher, typically $2,500-$6,500 per opening, because the assembly must meet HVHZ product approval standards and often includes a full frame rebuild. Custom or oversized openings, like a double French door or a tall pivot entry, run $5,000-$9,000. The variables are real: the opening size, the design pressure rating required, whether the jamb needs replacing, and the finish hardware you choose. We give you a written, line-item quote at your free in-home measure. That number does not change unless you approve a change order in writing.
What Door Replacement Costs in Lantana
Here is the honest cost picture, using the actual anchors we work from on Lantana jobs. Impact window and door work in South Florida typically runs $800-$1,500 per opening installed for standard windows; impact single-hung windows run $900-$1,800. Large or custom openings, including wide sliders and oversized entry doors, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages that include every exterior opening, which is the smart way to do this given Lantana’s wind zone, run $8,000-$25,000 and up depending on count and glass packages. What moves the price in Lantana specifically: the number of openings, the required design pressure rating, the floor height, and whether the frame material is vinyl, aluminum, or wood-clad. Higher floors and wider openings need higher DP ratings, and that is not a corner you want to cut near the coast. We always start with a free in-home measure and a written quote, so you know exactly what the scope costs before you commit to anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Lantana homeowners qualify for a stack of incentives that meaningfully offset the cost of impact-rated doors and windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and new funding rounds open periodically. Florida also waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which saves 6% or more off the project total right away. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. Then there is the windstorm-premium reduction: after a wind mitigation inspection, typically $75-$150, Lantana homeowners often see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion. We do not guarantee those figures. Your carrier and the program administrators set the final numbers. We do prepare the documentation that supports the credits, including the post-install wind mitigation report showing the impact-rated openings we installed. One more honest note: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for one simple reason. You install them once, they protect every opening permanently, and you never wrestle panels onto a window at midnight before a storm.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Lantana
Yes. Any exterior opening change in Lantana requires a permit, and the replacement door assembly must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the specific opening. That is a non-negotiable with the town’s building department. We pull the permit, submit the product approval documents, and schedule the inspection. The permit is included in our written quote. Call (682) 281-2168 and we will handle the entire approval from start to finish.
A single interior door replacement in Lantana is often done in as fast as a single day once the door arrives. Custom or impact-rated exterior doors take longer because of fabrication, usually 4-6 weeks for custom sizing or specific finishes. Once your units arrive at our warehouse, we schedule the install and give you a live arrival time the morning of the job. The physical installation for a standard exterior opening is typically one day, including full-frame work if the jamb needs rebuilding.
Yes, in most cases. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer wind mitigation discounts for impact-rated openings, and Lantana homeowners regularly see meaningful reductions when they replace older, non-impact doors. The exact credit depends on the wind mitigation inspection report and your carrier’s filings. We complete the inspection documentation after the install and provide the report you submit to your agent. In the Lantana Pines neighborhood, we replaced a 1990s Therma-Tru that had failed from salt air, and the owner saw roughly $400 in annual premium reduction after the new impact-rated fiberglass door and reinforced jamb were documented. Your own savings will depend on your policy and opening count.
We install and service impact doors from CGI, CWS, and Therma-Tru, with ViewLux laminated glass options where the project calls for broader sightlines. Every one of these brands carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approved assemblies for the specific door types we install in coastal Palm Beach County. We are not a general remodeler dabbling in doors. This is what we do, and we stock the common replacement parts Lantana customers need so small issues do not turn into long waits. Call (682) 281-2168 for a written quote on the brand that fits your opening.
Three things, all of which we catch during the free in-home measure. First, rotted jamb wood behind the casing, which is common near the Intracoastal and means a full frame rebuild instead of a simple slab swap. Second, an opening that is out of square from years of settling, which requires shimming and possibly reframing. Third, a design pressure requirement that is higher than originally scoped because of the opening’s size or elevation. We inspect for all three before we quote, and we write the findings into your price. If something unexpected does surface after demo, you approve the change order in writing before we proceed. No surprises at the door.
