Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Richmond Heights’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, installing doors and windows since 2001. Sean Mackey leads the team, and he’s built the operation around a simple idea: write the price down before the first screw turns, then honor it for 365 days.

Every quote is line-item, written, and locked.
Our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a live arrival time you can track on your phone. You’ll get before-and-after photos of the work and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. If something isn’t right within a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers parts and labor in writing. We dispatch and schedule from our Miami office, and our crews know Richmond Heights streets well – the 33156 and 33177 ZIP codes, the homes off Eureka Drive, the ranch-style builds near Howard Drive.
We’re the windows-and-doors specialist. No kitchens, no bathrooms, no general remodeling. Just doors and windows, eight product lines deep, with enough local stock to keep most Richmond Heights jobs moving without a parts run to a distant warehouse.
Door Frame Repair in Richmond Heights
Door frame repair in Richmond Heights usually means we’re pulling a door that’s been soaking up South Florida humidity for twenty or thirty years and finding the jamb has rotted at the bottom or swollen out of square. We see it on ranch homes along SW 152nd Street all the time – the afternoon thunderstorms, the summer humidity, and the occasional storm surge pressure all work on wood frames. A standard frame repair runs $600 to $1,800 here, depending on whether we’re rebuilding one jamb leg or the entire rough opening with new flashing and threshold.
When we opened the walls on a Richmond Heights ranch near Coral Reef Drive, the original 1990s wood jamb had swollen so badly the deadbolt wouldn’t line up. The fix meant cutting out the rotten sections, sistering in new treated lumber, re-flashing the opening, and resetting the door so it actually sealed. That’s typical for homes in this area that predate modern moisture barriers.
Signs You Need a Frame Repair, Not a Door Replacement
If your door catches at the top corner, the deadbolt won’t latch without lifting the handle, or you can see daylight around the jamb, the frame has moved. In Richmond Heights, the most common culprit is water entry at the threshold – the concrete slab settles, the threshold caulk fails, and the jamb wicks moisture for years before you notice.
How We Rebuild a Door Frame
We pull the door and casing, cut out the damaged wood, pressure-treated lumber goes in, then we flash the opening properly before resetting the unit. The new frame gets shimmed square, insulated, and sealed against water. You get a door that closes without a shoulder check, and the repair carries the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as a full replacement. For a written price on frame repair in Richmond Heights, call (682) 281-2168.
Interior Door Replacement in Richmond Heights
Interior door replacement in Richmond Heights is usually about one of two things: the original hollow-core slabs from a 1970s or 80s build have warped or the hardware has torn out, or the homeowners are updating the whole house and want a consistent look. We’ve swapped out warped bedroom doors off Palmetto Bay Drive, replaced bathroom doors with solid-core units for better sound isolation near the main living areas, and done full interior door packages on ranch homes throughout the 33157 ZIP code. Slab replacement runs $350 to $900 per door installed, and that includes removing the old door, prepping the hinges, and hanging the new slab.
What Affects Interior Door Pricing
Solid-core doors cost more than hollow-core, and pre-hung units cost more than slab swaps because we’re setting a new frame too. Hardware add-ons like privacy locksets, ball-catch closers, or soft-close hinges add incrementally. Most Richmond Heights homes were built with standard 80-inch rough openings, so off-the-shelf sizing usually works – but older homes sometimes need custom trimming, which adds $50 to $120 per door.
Matching Existing Trim and Hardware
If you’re replacing one door, we’ll match the existing style as closely as the product line allows. If you’re doing every interior door, that’s the time to switch hardware styles or move from painted to natural finishes. We’ll show you samples before we order, and every interior door job gets the same written price and 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Richmond Heights
We install and service doors from Therma-Tru, CGI, and ES Windows, plus the full PGT and ViewLux lines. That matters because Richmond Heights sits in a Miami-Dade wind zone where product approvals are strict – and you need a door that actually passes the HVHZ review, not just a Florida Product Approval from a Broward supplier. We stock common parts locally and can have most replacement units in hand within a week or two unless it’s a custom fabrication. Our techs know the glazing and frame options across all eight product lines we carry, so the right door for your opening is never a compromise. For more on our full process, visit our Door Replacement page.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Richmond Heights Homes
- Broward-code doors sold into a Miami-Dade address. We get called in after a homeowner discovers the door they were quoted doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and the HVHZ review fails. The door has to be re-ordered, adding weeks and money. We scope to Miami-Dade code from the start.
- Water-swollen jambs hiding behind intact trim. The trim looks fine, but the wood underneath has been soaking up runoff from afternoon storms for years. It only shows once the old door comes out, and then the frame repair scope grows. On Richmond Heights homes built before modern flashing details, we expect this and plan for it.
- Existing glazing reused without a design pressure check. A cosmetic refresh that keeps the old sash and glass can leave an opening that doesn’t meet current wind zone requirements. If the rest of the house is being upgraded, we check the design pressure rating on the existing glazing before quoting.
- Slab settling and threshold failure on concrete foundations. Richmond Heights sits on South Florida limestone and sandy soil, and concrete slabs move over decades. The threshold caulk cracks, water wicks into the jamb, and the door starts binding. We fix the frame and the threshold, not just the door.
Pricing for Door Replacement in Richmond Heights, FL
A standard exterior door replacement in Richmond Heights runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed. Impact-rated doors with Miami-Dade NOA compliance start around $2,200 and go up from there based on glass package, frame material, and design pressure needs. Interior door slabs are $350 to $900 per door. Frame repairs run $600 to $1,800 depending on the extent of rot. Large or custom openings – a double entry, a sliding glass door replacement – can reach $5,000 to $8,000. What moves the price most in Richmond Heights is the approval threshold: if the door has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA for the wind zone, you’re paying for a product that’s tested and rated differently than a Florida Product Approval unit from a Broward supplier. Opening count and floor height matter too. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Richmond Heights
Yes. Richmond Heights is in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so door replacements with structural or frame work require a county permit, and the product must carry a Miami-Dade NOA for the HVHZ wind zone. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and walk the job through final sign-off so you don’t have to manage the paper track. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll scope the permit requirement as part of your free estimate.
The difference is the Miami-Dade NOA requirement. Richmond Heights sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, where doors must carry Miami-Dade product approval and meet HVHZ design pressure standards. A Broward contractor can quote a Florida Product Approval door at a lower price, but that door will fail the review and have to be re-ordered. Our Richmond Heights quotes are priced to the correct approval threshold from day one. For an exact number, call (682) 281-2168 – estimates are free.
Plan on four to six weeks for a custom-fabricated impact door from contract to final inspection. Stock units can often be installed in as fast as a single day once they arrive at our local yard. The permit and inspection cycle in unincorporated Miami-Dade adds about one to two weeks on top of fabrication. We give you a written schedule at contract, and we’ll keep it updated through The Relay Standard – live arrival time, photo updates, and a digital invoice at the end. Call (682) 281-2168 to start the process.
Sometimes, but not always. If the existing frame is square, structurally sound, and free of rot, we can hang a new slab on the old jamb and save you money. In Richmond Heights, where moisture and slab settling have worked on frames for decades, we often find the jamb isn’t worth saving once the door comes out. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense before you spend anything. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free in-home assessment.
Yes, impact-rated doors with the proper Miami-Dade NOA documentation can qualify for windstorm premium credits after a wind mitigation inspection. The inspection typically costs $75 to $150, and the credit on the windstorm portion of your premium averages around 25%. The final number comes from your carrier, not from us – but we’ll hand you the documentation your inspector needs. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll make sure your door is documented correctly from the start.
What Door Replacement Costs in Richmond Heights
Here’s the honest pricing picture for Richmond Heights, straight from our current job board. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units sit in the $900 to $1,800 range. Large or custom openings – a picture window, a corner unit, a sliding glass wall – typically land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across an average Richmond Heights ranch run $8,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on opening count. On the door side, a standard exterior door is $1,200 to $4,800, an impact-rated entry starts around $2,200, and interior slabs are $350 to $900 per door.
What moves the price in Richmond Heights is the Miami-Dade NOA threshold. Every replacement door here must carry Miami-Dade product approval and meet HVHZ design pressure standards – and that’s a different testing and certification class than a Florida Product Approval door from a Broward supplier. Opening count drives the total, and floor height matters because design pressure requirements increase as you go up. Frame material matters too: vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass all sit at different price points. We’ll come out, measure every opening, and hand you a written line-item quote before anything starts. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule that free in-home measure.
Florida Pays You Back
Your Richmond Heights door upgrade may qualify for a meaningful stack of incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant doors and windows fall under that umbrella when the project meets program guidelines. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors in most cases, which trims the upfront cost. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind mitigation inspection – typically $75 to $150 – many Richmond Heights homeowners see a premium reduction averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we won’t promise a specific rebate. But we’ll document your installation correctly so you can claim every credit you qualify for.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters require you to be home to deploy them before a storm, and they sit in storage the other 360 days a year. Impact-rated glass is always in place, always protecting the opening, and it never needs to be hung. We install impact windows and doors – we don’t sell or install shutters. If you’re weighing the options, call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll quote the permanent solution.
We replaced a failed 1990s wood-framed slider and a rusted steel front entry on a ranch near the Richmond Heights area off SW 152nd Street. The original jamb had swollen from years of afternoon thunderstorms, and the steel door had started to corrode at the threshold. We set a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry unit with impact-rated glazing, re-flashed the threshold, and reset the interior door slabs that had been racked by the old frame movement. The homeowners got a clean jamb line, a working new lock set, and documentation to hand to their wind mitigation inspector. That’s the job done right, in writing, covered for 365 days.
