AfterFast, Reliable Door Replacement Across Miami Beach
Door replacement in Miami Beach costs $1,800 to $6,500 for a typical impact-rated exterior door, installed. Full-frame replacements with Miami-Dade NOA documentation run higher, usually $4,000 to $9,500, because the anchors, threshold, and jamb all have to meet HVHZ wind-load requirements. We serve every neighborhood from South of Fifth to North Beach, and our crews know exactly what Miami Beach building officials look for at inspection. If you’re pricing a door replacement today, call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
Most Miami Beach single-family and low-rise doors that face the ocean sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every exterior door assembly needs a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with a rated design pressure – not just impact glass. The door frame, anchors and threshold are part of the rated system, which is why the same door swapped between an inland Miami address and a Miami Beach address is a different, more expensive submittal. Sean Mackey, who leads our team, makes sure every opening we touch carries the right paperwork the first time.
Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Miami Beach’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We’re the windows-and-doors specialists inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2001. Over two decades of installations across South Florida sit behind us, and every job we run follows the same two rules: a written price before a single screw turns, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covering parts and labor for a full year after install. Miami Beach homeowners call us because the quote we leave is the price we honor. No re-trades at the door, no surprise change orders.
Our Miami Beach customers get a live arrival time they can track, before-and-after photos of the work, and a digital invoice they can pay from a link. The tech who walks through your door is background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s coming. You know what they’ll do. You know what it costs before they start. That’s Door Replacement done the way our brand was built to do it, and it’s why homeowners from Sunset Harbour to Normandy Isle call us back for their next opening.
Scheduling for Miami Beach is coordinated from our South FL office. Our crews work the island daily, so we’re not an out-of-town crew figuring out parking and code requirements for the first time. We already know the submittal process for Miami Beach building permits, and we know which product approvals the inspectors expect printed on the job site.
Door Contractors in Miami Beach
Door Contractors in Miami Beach do more than swap a slab. On the barrier island, a door contractor is really a water-intrusion and wind-load specialist. We measure the opening, check the rough framing for rot or corrosion, specify a door assembly rated for the wind zone, pull the permit, install with marine-grade fasteners, and hand you the NOA paperwork your carrier needs for wind mitigation credits. When a Miami Beach homeowner asks us to replace a door, we treat the threshold and jamb as part of the system, because a rated slab sitting in a leaking frame is a failed system.
Impact-Rated Entry Systems
For front doors, rear doors, and garage entry doors, we install impact-rated assemblies from Therma-Tru, PGT, and CGI. These carry Miami-Dade NOAs with design pressures matched to the opening. A typical impact front door with a laminated glass interlayer starts around $3,200 installed. Larger double-door or custom configs land between $5,500 and $9,500.
Single-Day Slam-and-Go Replacements
If the existing frame is solid and the rough opening hasn’t moved, we can sometimes install a new slab into a rated frame in a single day once the unit arrives. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks. Most Miami Beach doors are custom widths, so we quote the lead time honestly up front rather than promising a date that slips.
Door Frame Repair in Miami Beach
Door Frame Repair in Miami Beach usually means cutting out a section of salt-damaged jamb or replacing the threshold pan under a door that’s been leaking for years. The frame, not the slab, is what fails first on this island. We see a lot of pitted bottom rails and swollen stiles around North Bay Road and the waterfront streets of Sunset Islands, where wind-driven rain gets past a dried-out seal and sits in the wood. Repair work like this typically runs $450 to $1,200 depending on how much of the frame we can save.
Sill and Threshold Replacement
A rotted sill under an otherwise sound door is one of the most common repairs we quote in Miami Beach. We pull the door, cut the sill out, set a pressure-treated block with marine flashing, and re-hang the slab with stainless hardware. Most sill replacements land between $600 and $1,400, including a hose test when we’re done.
Rust Repair and Fastener Replacement
Galvanized screws near salt air pit and bleed rust onto the slab within a few seasons. We swap them for 316 stainless and re-anchor loose hinges. On older Miami Beach homes, the hinge side of the frame has often pulled away from the stud. Fixing that before the hinge screws tear out completely is a $350 to $800 job, and it’s far cheaper than a new frame six months later.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Beach
We install and warranty doors from PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ES Windows. Because we stock replacement thresholds, sweeps, hinges, and multipoint lock parts for these lines locally, turnaround on warranty parts in Miami Beach is measured in days, not weeks. If you already have a PGT or Therma-Tru door that’s dragging or leaking, we service it under the brand’s warranty or a straight repair quote. Juniper is a hardy evergreen built to handle sun, wind, and cold, which is a fitting standard for what our doors have to endure on this island.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Miami Beach Homes
- Rusted bottom rails on ocean-facing doors. Salt-laden air settles on the lower six inches of a door and works its way into the frame corners. We replace the bottom rail or the entire slab depending on how deep the pitting runs.
- Swollen frames from wind-driven rain. Miami Beach storms push rain sideways. If the jamb seal and threshold pan weren’t flashed properly, water gets behind the weatherstrip and rots the sill from inside. We re-flash and re-seal as part of every frame repair.
- Non-rated doors on older condo conversions. A lot of Miami Beach buildings from the 1940s and 1950s still have inland-spec hollow doors with no NOA. When we replace them, the new assembly has to meet current HVHZ requirements, which is why we pull the permit and file the product approval with the building department.
- Rusted hinge screws pulling out of the jamb. Galvanized fasteners near the beach fail fast. We swap to stainless and re-anchor the hinge side before the frame splits.

What Door Replacement Costs in Miami Beach
Here are honest ceilings for Miami Beach work. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings go $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages range from $8,000 to $25,000 and up. What moves the price on a door specifically: the number of openings, the wind zone for your exact address, the floor height, and whether you want a painted wood frame or a composite. We measure free, pull the permit, and hand you a written quote with every line item priced. No estimate that morphs into a surprise invoice at the end.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami Beach homeowners can stack a few programs on top of a new impact-rated door. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can reach $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida 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 a year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (usually $75 to $150), windstorm-premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of a policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll never promise a dollar amount from the state, but we’ll hand you the submittal paperwork that makes you eligible. A Miami-Dade NOA with a rated design pressure, never a rating above +/-100 PSF, is what your inspector and your carrier both want to see. We match design pressures to the opening and the wind zone, and we never label a 140 to 170 mph wind speed as a design pressure. Those are different numbers with different jobs.
One comparison worth making before you spend: impact windows versus hanging hurricane shutters every season. Impact glass is permanent protection. No panels to drag out of a condo storage unit in June, no tracks to corrode in salt air, no drill holes in the stucco. Shutters cost less up front, but they require labor every summer, and the salt on Miami Beach eats the tracks and hardware within a few years. A permanently installed impact door from a licensed specialist stays rated and stays sealed. We never sell or install shutters, but we’ll happily walk you through the math when we quote your openings.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Miami Beach
Yes, for any exterior door on a building in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the entire assembly – slab, frame, anchors, threshold – needs a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with a rated design pressure. We file the paperwork with the city as part of the permit, and we leave a copy on the job site for the inspector. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll look up your property’s wind zone and tell you what submittal it needs.
Salt-laden air and wind-driven rain attack the frame before the door itself. Galvanized fasteners pit and bleed rust onto the slab within a few seasons, and storm water gets past poorly sealed jambs and sills. That’s why we specify stainless hardware, marine flashing, and sealed thresholds on every Miami Beach frame repair or replacement.
It typically does, but only if the door carries the right NOA or Florida Product Approval and the installation passes a wind-mitigation inspection. The inspection cost runs $75 to $150, and carriers average around a 25% credit on the windstorm portion of the premium after the report. We hand you the paperwork your inspector wants to see.
Expect to pay 30 to 50 percent more for a coastal-spec door than the same brand’s inland version. The frame, anchors, threshold, and submittal are all different, and that’s before you factor in the permit and inspection. The inland-spec door will cost more within a decade once the frame rusts and fails inspection and the wind mitigation credit never materializes. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll price both so you can see the real gap.
We install PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ES Windows, with access to eight product lines total. The right door for a Miami Beach elevation is the one rated for the wind zone and backed by a written price this year, not a brand name that looked good in a catalog. We’ll quote the brand and the config that fits your opening and your carrier’s requirements.
