Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We’re the window-and-door specialist inside the Relay Home Co. family, and we’ve been at this since 2001. North Miami homeowners call us because we show up with a live arrival time, put the price in writing before any work starts, and send before-and-after photos when the job is done. You won’t sit through a four-hour window or get a quote that climbs after the tech takes the old door off. Every estimate is a written, line-item price. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies on every project from a single slab swap in Griffing Park to a full replacement on a 1950s ranch near NE 135th Street.
Sean Mackey leads our team, and every tech on a North Miami job is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who is walking through your door, because we tell you before they arrive. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail maze. When a North Miami homeowner asks whether a corroded jamb can be saved or a stock slab will fit an older rough opening, the person on the phone actually knows the answer.
Our Door Replacement crews work throughout North Miami regularly, from the condos along NE 123rd Street to the single-family homes near Barry University. We know the housing stock here, and we know how High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements shape every exterior opening. That local knowledge means fewer surprises at inspection and a job that passes Miami-Dade code the first time.
Door Frame Repair in North Miami
Door frame repair in North Miami is often the hidden half of a door replacement, especially in the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes that make up so much of the city’s housing stock. Those homes were built with shallow jamb depths and untreated wood that has spent six decades absorbing humidity, salt air, and the occasional storm-driven rain. On a 1957 ranch off NE 135th Street near Griffing Park, our tech pulled a weathered original front door and found the threshold pan rusted through and the rough opening too shallow for the impact-rated slab the homeowner wanted. We sistered new pressure-treated framing, reset the jamb to accept the deeper unit, and set a Therma-Tru door with laminated glass interlayer and low-E glass, then documented the NOA for a wind mitigation credit. The entry now seals tight with no daylight at the corners and no water tracking in during the afternoon storms.
Frame repair runs $300 to $1,200 in North Miami, depending on how much of the jamb and threshold needs to be rebuilt. It’s not a corner you want cut: reusing a corroded or out-of-square existing jamb means the new slab drags, the lockset misaligns, and the door leaks after the first driving rain. We price frame work into the written quote before we start, so you’re never surprised by a change order mid-job.
When the Jamb Is Too Far Gone
If the threshold pan is rusted through or the bottom of the jamb is soft to the screwdriver, rebuilding is the right call. We replace with pressure-treated lumber, square the opening, and set the new door so the weatherstripping actually does its job. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers all of it, parts and labor, in writing.
Shallow Rough Openings in Older North Miami Homes
Impact-rated doors are physically deeper than the hollow slabs many older ranches originally wore. If your rough opening was framed for a 1-3/8-inch slab, a modern impact unit won’t sit flush. We handle the reframing in-house and include it in the written estimate, so the final price on paper is the price you pay.
Interior Door Replacement in North Miami
Interior door replacement in North Miami is a fast, clean job that costs $350 to $900 per door including the slab, hinges, hardware, and labor. It’s a popular upgrade in the older condos along NE 123rd Street and the mid-century homes around Arch Creek, where hollow-core doors from the original build have warped or the hinge screws have stripped out. In North Miami, almost every door replacement is part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone envelope when it’s an exterior opening, so units need Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval and a design pressure rated for the home’s exposure. Interior doors are different: they’re not part of the wind envelope, so a standard non-impact door is fine, and we stock common sizes to keep turnaround fast.
Swapping Hollow-Core for Solid-Core
If you want to cut noise between bedrooms or give a hallway a heavier, more finished feel, solid-core replacement is the move. We match the existing hinge spacing, mortise for the new hardware, and leave the casing clean. Most interior swaps in North Miami are done in a single visit once the slabs arrive.
Closet and Pocket-Door Replacements
We replace bifold closet doors, bypass sliders, and pocket doors in North Miami homes too, including the older track systems that bind or have broken rollers. Prices for these run from $300 to $750 per opening, and we verify the rough opening before ordering so the new door doesn’t arrive and test your patience.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami
We stock and install PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru doors for North Miami homes, and we keep local inventory access for fast turnaround on common slab sizes and hardware. PGT’s impact-rated entry systems dominate the North Miami coastal stock for good reason: Miami-Dade NOA documentation is thorough enough to satisfy your wind-mitigation inspector. CGI gives us a strong mid-line impact option, and Therma-Tru covers the fiberglass and composite entries that handle North Miami humidity without warping the way wood does. When you call to scope a project, we’ll match the door to your opening and your wind zone, not to whatever is sitting in a warehouse.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Rusted threshold pans and rotted jambs. Afternoon storms off Biscayne Bay push water against north-facing entries, and older North Miami homes often have original pans that have rusted through. The door still looks fine from the living room, but the bottom of the jamb is failing.
- Out-of-square roughed openings in 1950s and 1960s ranch stock. These homes settled decades ago, and the original framing was never dead square. A new slab installed in an out-of-square opening will bind at the top or bottom, and the lockset will never line up.
- Non-impact doors on homes that need Miami-Dade product approval. An exterior door in North Miami’s wind zone without a design pressure rating and an NOA number fails inspection and voids the wind mitigation credit. We check the specific unit against the home’s exposure before we order anything.
- Warped hollow-core interiors in humid closets and utility rooms. North Miami’s humidity does a number on cheap interior slabs, particularly in tight spaces without air movement. They bow, the corner gaps widen, and the latch no longer catches. Replacement is usually cheaper than repair.

A straightforward interior slab swap in North Miami runs $350 to $900. A stock exterior entry replacement lands between $1,200 and $2,800.

What Door Replacement Costs in North Miami
For a full-frame replacement of an impact-rated entry door in North Miami, the range is $2,500 to $5,500, and that includes the Miami-Dade NOA documentation, new threshold, new hardware, and disposal of the old unit. If you’re replacing multiple openings, a package of three impact doors plus interior slabs typically runs $8,000 to $16,000. What moves the price in North Miami specifically: the number of openings, the wind zone and exposure category on your property (which determines required design pressure), whether the home is a single story or elevated, and the condition of the existing framing. A door with a large glass lite or custom finish will land at the higher end. Every job gets a free in-home measure and a written quote before anything is ordered.
For context on the full project scope, impact windows in this market generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. An impact single-hung lands between $900 and $1,800, and large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages for windows and doors together typically span $8,000 to $25,000 or more. We do not sell or install hurricane shutters, but when you compare impact doors and windows against hanging shutters, the permanent protection is the difference: there are no panels to drag out of the garage, no hardware to maintain, and the door protects the opening every day, not just when a storm is named. A big-box retail install will get you a door in the hole, but it won’t give you the Miami-Dade documentation, the wind-mitigation guidance, or the written price guarantee that a licensed impact specialist like Juniper provides.
Florida Pays You Back
North Miami homeowners can stack several incentives on a door replacement, and we help with the documentation. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on eligible homes. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a $5,000 entry system. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units with the right U-factor and SHGC. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit that averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Final numbers depend on your program eligibility and your carrier’s filed rates, so we don’t promise a specific credit, but we do hand you the NOA and product approval documentation that makes the credit possible.

FAQs About Door Replacement in North Miami
Yes. Exterior door replacements in North Miami require a permit, and the specific door unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with a design pressure rating matched to your home’s wind zone and exposure. Interior door replacements do not. We pull the permit, order the right unit, and handle the inspection. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free quote on any exterior opening.
Because many North Miami ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s were framed with shallow jamb depths and untreated wood, and sixty years of humidity and storm-driven rain have done the rest. When the old door comes off, the jamb is often corroded or out of square, and an impact-rated slab is deeper than the original hollow door. Frame repair is part of the written estimate, not a surprise charge. We inspect the rough opening before ordering your slab whenever possible.
It can, specifically on the windstorm portion of your policy. The credit depends on a wind-mitigation inspection, usually $75 to $150, and your carrier’s filed rates. What we provide is the Miami-Dade NOA documentation for your specific door configuration, which is what the inspector and your insurer need. The average windstorm premium credit after a qualifying mitigation inspection runs around 25%, but your mileage depends on your policy.
Most interior door replacements are finished the same day once the slabs arrive. A single exterior entry replacement, including frame work, is typically a one-day installation. Impact-rated doors are custom fabricated to your opening and wind zone, which runs four to six weeks from order to install. We give you a realistic calendar on the written estimate, and we stick to it.
Yes. Interior doors are not part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone envelope, so they don’t need impact rating or Miami-Dade product approval. A standard interior slab swap in North Miami runs $350 to $900 per door, and we stock common sizes for fast turnaround. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule a free measure.
