Door Replacement in Miami - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Replacement Across Miami

A full door replacement in Miami typically runs $800 – $1,800 for a standard interior slab and install, while an impact-rated exterior door runs $2,500 – $5,000 installed, depending on the opening size, the NOA approval on the unit, and the condition of the existing jamb. That number is the honest range we quote after measuring and inspecting, not a teaser to get a crew to your door. If you’re in Kendall, the Upper Eastside, or anywhere else in Miami, call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts.

Miami is not like Tampa or Orlando, and the difference shows up fast on a door order. Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so every exterior door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with a stamped design pressure and large-missile rating. A laminated-glass impact door that clears Palm Beach code can still fail Miami-Dade’s HVHZ submittal because the NOA installation detail, not the product alone, governs approval. We order and install around that reality every week. Our Door Replacement crews work from the Miami office and schedule around your calendar, not the other way around.

Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Door Replacement Company

We’re the windows-and-doors specialist inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2001, and we don’t do general remodeling or unrelated trades. Door replacement across Miami is what we do, every day. Homeowners from Coconut Grove to Little Havana keep us on speed dial because the process is visible from the first tap: a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos of every job, and a written price before anything starts. That’s the Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it applies to every project we run in Miami.

Sean Mackey leads the team, and the standard he set is simple: if it’s not done right, we make it right for a full year after installation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers parts and labor, in writing, on every project. Uniformed, background-checked technicians show up on time. The phone gets answered by a real person, 24/7. We carry eight product lines, including PGT, CGI, ViewLux, and Therma-Tru, so our Miami Cws service means the right door for a Miami opening is never a compromise.

Interior Door Replacement in Miami

Interior Door Replacement in Miami usually means pulling a hollow-core slab that’s warped from years of humidity and dropping in a solid-core or molded-panel door that actually closes square. Homes across Miami, from 1950s block construction in Westchester to newer builds in Doral, deal with the same issue: seasonal moisture cycles swell the old slab, the hinges sag, and the latch stops aligning. We see it constantly.

A basic interior slab swap in Miami runs $400 – $900 per opening when the existing jamb is sound. If the jamb is rotted, cracked, or out of square, the job moves into a different scope: we pull the casing, repair or replace the rough framing, and rehang the door. That runs $900 – $1,800 per opening. The written quote you get before we start covers exactly which path your door needs.

Slab-Only Swaps

When the frame is in good shape, we reuse it. The slab gets swapped, hinges and hardware get re-mounted, and the door gets adjusted so the reveal is even and the latch engages cleanly. Most slab-only swaps in Miami finish in a single visit.

Jamb Repair and Full Opening Work

Older Miami homes, especially those with original wood frames, often hide water damage behind the casing. We repair the buck, square the opening, and set the new door plumb. Skipping this step means the next humid season warps the new slab just like the old one.

Interior Door Installation in Miami

Our Window Installation in Miami team also handles Interior Door Installation when you’re changing the opening itself, not just the slab. That can mean converting a swinging door to a pocket door in a tight Miami condo, widening an opening between a living room and dining room, or adding a new door where there wasn’t one before. The work involves cutting back drywall, reframing, setting a prehung unit, and trimming out both sides.

Interior installation in Miami runs $700 – $1,500 for a standard prehung door. If the opening needs to be widened or relocated, the framing work pushes the job to $1,500 – $3,000. We pull the permit when the scope requires it, and we handle the inspection scheduling so you don’t have to chase the building department.

Prehung Units for New Openings

A prehung door arrives with the jamb, hinges, and slab already assembled. That consistency matters in Miami, where humidity can expose a sloppy site-built frame within a season. We lag the jamb, shim it correctly, and foam the gap so the door doesn’t bind or rattle.

Pocket and Barn Door Conversions

Condo owners in Edgewater and Brickell often ask for pocket doors to save floor space. We handle the header work, track installation, and wall patching. The result is a door that disappears when you don’t need it, without chewing up the square footage you paid for.

What Door Replacement Costs in Miami

Here are the real anchors for the Miami market, not national averages:

• Interior slab replacement: $400 – $900 per opening
• Interior prehung installation: $700 – $1,500 per opening
• Impact exterior door: $2,500 – $5,000 installed
• Impact single-hung windows: $900 – $1,800 per window
• Impact windows generally: $800 – $1,500 per window installed
• Large or custom openings: $2,500 – $5,000
• Whole-home impact packages: $8,000 – $25,000+

What moves the price in Miami is rarely the door itself. It’s the opening count, the wind zone where you live, the floor height, and the frame material. A second-story condo in Brickell with aluminum bucks and a custom NOA submittal costs more than a first-floor ranch in Westchester. We give you a free in-home measurement and a written quote before any work starts, so you know the exact number before you sign anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami

We stock and install PGT, CGI, ViewLux, Therma-Tru, and five other product lines from this local market. That range matters because Miami’s HVHZ NOA requirements mean you can’t just grab any impact door and call it a day. We match the NOA detail to the opening, the design pressure to the wind zone, and the glass package to the heat. We keep local parts inventory for the brands Miami homeowners already trust, so a warranty service call doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a hinge. If you’re replacing a Therma-Tru entry or a PGT impact door, we already know the hardware, the sizing, and the paperwork.

Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Miami Homes

• Wrong NOA for Miami-Dade. A door ordered with a Florida Product Approval number that doesn’t match Miami-Dade’s HVHZ NOA fails the building department’s submittal review before install even starts. We verify the NOA against the exact opening before we order.
• Rotted or out-of-square jambs. Setting an impact door into a rotten jamb means water intrusion and misaligned hardware within one rainy season. We repair the rough opening first, then set the door plumb.
• Stock doors without the right glass. An exterior door with the wrong SHGC or without low-E insulated impact glass leaves cooling-cost savings on the table and can miss the Florida Statute 627.0629 wind-mitigation credit. We spec glass for Miami’s solar load, not just for code.
• Humidity-swollen interior slabs. Older hollow-core doors in Miami absorb moisture, warp, and stop latching. A solid-core replacement with proper sealing lasts years longer.

Florida Pays You Back

If you’re replacing exterior doors with impact-rated units in Miami, the incentives stack on top of each other. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, subject to program funding and eligibility. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which shaves real money off the invoice. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units.

After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 – $150, many Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The carrier and the program set the final numbers, so we don’t promise a specific dollar amount. What we do promise is a door that meets Miami-Dade’s NOA requirements, passes inspection, and qualifies for the credits it’s supposed to qualify for.

One more thing worth knowing: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing until a storm is already coming. Impact-rated doors with laminated glass work permanently. No panels to drag out of a closet in August, no ladders, no fuss. We don’t install shutters, but the comparison is worth understanding when you’re pricing out a new exterior door in Miami.

We Also Serve Cities Near Miami

We run installation crews into Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, and Hialeah. If you’re a mile from the coast or twenty minutes inland, the HVHZ requirements are the same, and so is our process: a written price, a live arrival time, and a door that clears Miami-Dade submittal the first time. Those cities are an easy drive for our Door Replacement crews, and we schedule them every week.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Miami

Scoping a Miami Door Replacement the Right Way

Here’s what the full chain looks like on a Miami exterior door, start to finish, and why it’s different from anywhere else in Florida. The door itself is the easy part. The permit, the NOA submittal, the wind-mitigation inspection, and the installation detail are what make or break the project.

We replaced a failing Therma-Tru entry door and a rotted jamb on a 1950s block home off Southwest 87th Avenue in Westchester. The original non-impact door had swelled through two wet seasons, so we pulled the unit, repaired the buck, set a new impact-rated door with laminated glass interlayer and verified the NOA matched Miami-Dade’s HVHZ detail, then sealed and painted the opening. The homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection report now lists the opening as a qualifying impact assembly. That’s the full chain in one job: repair the opening, verify the paperwork, set the door, close the permit, and leave the homeowner with documentation their insurance carrier actually accepts.

If you’re in Miami and you’re looking at a door that sticks, a jamb that’s gone soft, or an exterior unit that predates the current HVHZ rules, call (682) 281-2168. We’ll measure, inspect, and hand you a written price before any work begins. That’s the way it should work, and it’s the way we build every door project in Miami.
