AfterFast, Reliable Door Replacement Across North Lauderdale
If you’re searching for door replacement in North Lauderdale, here’s the short version: a properly permitted, impact-rated entry door or sliding door replacement in this city typically runs $2,800 to $7,500 installed, while interior door replacement runs $350 to $900 per door depending on material and hardware. Juniper Windows & Doors handles the full sequence, from measurement and permit to installation and wind-mitigation documentation. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family and have been installing doors across Florida since 2001.
North Lauderdale sits inland, but it’s still inside Broward County’s windborne-debris region. That means a door replacement here isn’t the same job as one in, say, Orlando or Gainesville. The door has to carry the right design pressure rating, the glazing has to be impact-rated, and the paperwork has to match the product. We handle all of that. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule a free in-home measure and walkthrough.
Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
Sean Mackey leads our team, and he’s built the business around a simple standard: a written price before any work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise after it’s finished. If the installation isn’t right, we make it right, parts and labor, in writing, for a full year. North Lauderdale homeowners don’t have to wonder whether a quote will turn into a surprise invoice at the door.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, no voicemail maze. And because we coordinate North Lauderdale scheduling from our South FL office with local crews, we can get a measurement on the books fast and keep the job moving without the four-hour waiting windows that drive people crazy.
We carry eight product lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That selection matters in North Lauderdale because the right door for a 1970s ranch on Southwest 8th Street isn’t necessarily the right door for a newer two-story off Rock Island Road. Having options means we’re never forcing a product into an opening it doesn’t fit.
Interior Door Replacement in North Lauderdale
Interior Door Replacement in North Lauderdale typically ranges from $350 to $900 per door, installed, depending on whether you choose a hollow-core slab, a solid-core composite, or a pre-hung unit that includes new casing and hardware. Most homes in neighborhoods like Woodville and the areas off Southwest 81st Avenue were built in the 1970s and 1980s, which means original hollow-core doors that have warped, delaminated, or been patched one too many times.
What the Job Involves
We start by checking the rough opening. In older North Lauderdale homes, jamb out-of-plumb is common, and anyone who hangs a new slab on a twisted frame ends up with a door that won’t latch in humid weather. Then we match the new door to the rest of the interior, which matters more than people think in a house where other doors are still original.
When It Makes Sense to Replace Instead of Repair
If the door has a split panel, a hinge that’s pulled out of the jamb, or gaps that let air move between rooms, replacement usually costs less than patching and repainting. Solid-core doors also cut noise between bedrooms and living spaces, which makes a real difference in the close quarter layout common to North Lauderdale’s original single-story stock.
Interior Door Installation in North Lauderdale
Interior Door Installation in North Lauderdale is a separate scope from replacement, usually $250 to $600 per door for a standard pre-hung unit when the rough opening is sound and framing doesn’t need adjustment. This applies to new construction, room additions, or when a North Lauderdale homeowner removes a non-load-bearing wall and creates a new passage where there wasn’t one before.
New Openings and Room Conversions
Cutting a new rough opening means header work, drywall patching, trim, and paint. We do the full scope, not just the door. For homes near the commercial corridor along Southgate Boulevard, where floor plans get reconfigured often, a proper header is the difference between a door that swings true and one that binds every time the slab settles.
Pre-Hung vs. Slab Replacement
A pre-hung unit includes the jamb and casing, which solves the out-of-plumb problem in one shot. Slab replacement is cheaper but assumes the existing jamb is good. In North Lauderdale’s older homes, jambs are often the weak point, so we’ll tell you if a slab swap is a smart call or a false economy.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We install and service doors from PGT, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, among the eight lines we carry. For North Lauderdale homeowners, that means a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door with a rot-resistant frame is available alongside PGT impact-rated hinged doors that carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation. We stock local parts and coordinate directly with manufacturers, so warranty work and replacements don’t stall while a warehouse in another state figures out what was ordered. If you’ve got a door from one of these brands that’s underperforming or failed, we can likely service it without a full replacement.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Rotted jambs hidden behind stucco: In homes built along Southwest 10th Court and similar streets in the 1970s, water gets behind the stucco at the threshold, and the jamb rots from the inside out. You won’t see it until the old door comes out.
- Non-impact doors from big-box stores: A standard steel door that passed code in a northern state will not carry the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation North Lauderdale’s wind-mitigation inspection requires.
- Fogged insulated glass in sliding doors: The heat and humidity cycles in North Lauderdale break the seals on older insulated glass units, especially on west-facing exposures that bake all afternoon.
- Wrong design pressure rating: A door sized for the rough opening but rated below what Broward County code requires will fail plan review, and a custom reorder costs weeks.
Pricing for Door Replacement in North Lauderdale, FL
Here are honest ranges for North Lauderdale, not national averages. An impact-rated front entry door runs $3,200 to $7,500 installed. A sliding glass door replacement runs $4,000 to $9,500 depending on width and whether you want a three-panel configuration. Interior doors run $350 to $900 each. The biggest cost drivers are the opening size, the design pressure rating required for your specific exposure, and whether framing repair is needed once the old door is out. We give every North Lauderdale homeowner a written quote before work starts. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule a free in-home measure.
What Door Replacement Costs in North Lauderdale
For a full frame of reference: impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, impact single-hung units $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that combine windows and doors land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count. But door replacement in North Lauderdale has its own math. A single impact entry door is the most common first project, because it’s the thing an inspector and an insurance underwriter both look at hard.
What moves the price here? Wind zone. Broward County’s windborne-debris region means your door has to carry a design pressure rating that matches the opening’s exposure, not just the manufacturer’s base spec. Floor height matters too. A second-story door on a home near the western side of the city can need a higher PSF rating than a ground-floor door on the same street. Frame material is the third lever: fiberglass from Therma-Tru costs more up front than steel but won’t rust or rot after a decade of North Lauderdale humidity. We’ll walk you through all of this at the measure. The quote is free, and it’s in writing.
Florida Pays You Back
North Lauderdale homeowners qualify for several incentives that can cut the real cost of impact-rated door replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including door replacement with documented impact products. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units.
Beyond that, a wind-mitigation inspection after the install typically costs $75 to $150, and the resulting credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, but we document everything so the inspection goes cleanly. The key is paperwork: your door needs its Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation on file, and we provide it with every install.

FAQs About Door Replacement in North Lauderdale
Yes, any exterior door replacement in North Lauderdale requires a permit because the opening is part of the building envelope and subject to wind load requirements. We pull the permit for every exterior door job. Interior door replacement typically does not require a permit unless you’re changing the rough opening or moving walls. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll tell you what your specific project needs during the free measure.
For North Lauderdale wind mitigation, an impact-rated door needs laminated glass with an interlayer that holds shards together under impact, plus a frame, hardware, and anchoring system tested as an assembly, not just glass marketed as “impact” on its own. The assembly must carry Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation with design pressure ratings matched to your opening’s wind zone. Big-box doors often lack the assembly documentation even when the glass looks right.
A standard stock door replacement in North Lauderdale can be installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks. After installation, the permit inspection typically happens within a few business days. We coordinate the inspection and provide all documentation to the inspector. The total timeline depends on product availability and permit scheduling, and we’ll give you a realistic calendar when we quote.
A door replacement alone can lower the windstorm portion of your premium, but the larger savings usually come from a full wind-mitigation inspection that covers openings, roof-to-wall connections, and glazing. Doors with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation help the inspector move through the checklist. The inspection itself costs about $75 to $150, and credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium, depending on what the inspection finds. We can’t promise a specific dollar figure from your carrier, but we provide the documentation that makes the credit possible.
The most common problem in North Lauderdale homes built in the 1970s and 1980s is a rotted wood jamb hidden behind stucco at the threshold. The failure doesn’t show until the door comes out, which is exactly why some North Lauderdale door swaps turn into framing repairs mid-job. It’s also why we’re honest about the scope in writing before we start: if the jamb is gone, the quote says what the repair costs so the price doesn’t change on the day of install. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free estimate and we’ll inspect the full opening before quoting.
How the Job Actually Goes in North Lauderdale
We replaced a failed 1990s wood jamb and sash on a sliding glass door for a homeowner near the 7200 block of Southwest 10th Court in the Woodville neighborhood. The old unit had a rotted jamb, a fogged insulated glass unit, and no large-missile rating. Our crew installed a Therma-Tru impact-rated door with a laminated glass interlayer and low-E coating, then submitted the wind-mitigation documentation so the homeowner could pursue the insurance credit under Florida Statute 627.0629. That’s the full sequence: measure, permit, documentation, install, inspection, and insurance paperwork. Anyone quoting you a door without asking about wind mitigation or permits isn’t quoting the real job.
Here’s the sequence a properly scoped door replacement in North Lauderdale should follow: measurement and opening inspection, permit application with product documentation, order and fabrication if custom, installation including any jamb or framing repair, permit inspection, and wind-mitigation documentation delivery. If a contractor skips the permit or can’t produce the NOA paperwork, the door might pass a visual check and still fail the wind-mitigation inspection later. That’s a false savings. We do the full sequence on every exterior door replacement in North Lauderdale.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: A North Lauderdale Comparison
North Lauderdale homeowners sometimes weigh impact-rated doors and windows against hurricane shutters, since every opening needs some form of windborne-debris protection. Shutters cost less up front, but they have to be deployed before every storm, stored somewhere year-round, and they don’t improve energy performance or daily security. Impact-rated glazing is permanent, never needs to be hung in the dark before a storm, and qualifies for the same wind-mitigation credits while also cutting UV and noise. Juniper installs impact-rated doors and windows. We don’t sell or install shutters, so we’ll give you the comparison straight.
