- West Perrine’s original wood jambs on CBS-block homes often need jamb repair before a new door can be hung correctly.

Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is West Perrine’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
Homeowners around West Perrine call us because we show up with a plan, not a vague estimate. Our crews work on doors all over the neighborhood, from the ranch homes near West Perrine Park to the newer infill off SW 104th Avenue, so we know which openings need a full jamb rebuild and which just need a clean slab swap. Sean Mackey leads the team, and he’s built the business on one rule: the price we write down is the price you pay. No change orders on install day because the frame turned out to be worse than expected – we already walked the opening and quoted for it.
Booking is built around a live arrival time, photo updates of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. You hear from a real person when you call, whether it’s noon or 2 a.m., because a stuck door in a Miami-Dade summer isn’t a voicemail problem. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, which has been installing windows and doors since 2001, and every Juniper location runs under the same written-price and one-year warranty standard.
Door Frame Repair in West Perrine
Door Frame Repair in West Perrine almost always starts with the jamb, because so many homes here still have their original 1960s and 1970s wood frames set into CBS block. In West Perrine’s wet season, those jambs catch splashback and humidity year after year, and the rot usually only shows once the old door is pulled off. A typical frame repair runs $300 to $900 when the damage is local, but a full jamb replacement with treated lumber and resealing against the block can land between $700 and $1,500.
Rot Repair and Structural Sistering
When the bottom third of a jamb is soft, we cut it back and sister in pressure-treated stock, then re-set the threshold and seal the gap so water can’t follow the same path again. This matters more on West Perrine’s slab-on-grade homes, where the door sits close to grade and rain splashes directly onto the frame. Skipping this step means hanging a new door on compromised wood, which shifts within a year and rubs at the strike plate.
Resetting a Door in an Existing Opening
Sometimes the frame is sound and the problem is the door itself pulling hinges or the threshold sinking. In that case, we pull the slab, re-shim the rough opening, and reset everything plumb before installing the replacement. Done right, this is why a door in a 1968 West Perrine home can close as cleanly as a new-construction unit.
Interior Door Replacement in West Perrine
Interior Door Replacement in West Perrine usually means swapping builder-grade hollow slabs for solid-core or molded panel doors, and it runs from $900 to $2,400 per door with labor and hardware. Older West Perrine homes often have narrow, non-standard rough openings, so a full prehung setup frequently beats trying to make a new slab fit an old jamb. We pre-hang in the shop, so the install itself is fast and clean.
Solid-Core Upgrades for Bedrooms and Halls
Solid-core doors cut hallway noise and feel heavier in hand, which matters when you’re living close to neighbors on tight West Perrine lots. They also hold a hinge better over time than hollow doors, so they don’t sag at the top corner five years in.
Matching Doors to a Mid-Century Layout
Many West Perrine houses have the original flat-panel doors you’d expect from the 1970s, and replacing just one door leaves a visual mismatch. We measure all your interior openings in one visit and help you pick a style and finish that reads consistent room to room, whether that’s a simple Shaker or a two-panel slab that fits the house’s age.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Perrine
We stock and install Therma-Tru entry systems, PGT impact doors, and interior lines from ViewLux, plus CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems when the project calls for a specific look or rating. Having eight product lines on hand means we’re not forcing a West Perrine homeowner into one brand because it’s all we carry. If your door opening faces a western exposure off SW 104th Street or takes direct sun most of the afternoon, we’ll steer you toward a fiberglass slab with a U-factor that makes sense for Miami-Dade’s climate, then pull the exact NOA paperwork for that configuration before install day.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in West Perrine Homes
- Rotted original jambs on 1960s CBS homes. The block walls are solid, but the wood jambs set into them aren’t. After fifty-plus humid summers, the bottom half often crumbles when the old door is removed, which is why we quote frame repair up front instead of surprising you on install day.
- Non-HVHZ doors with no NOA paperwork. A door that isn’t Miami-Dade product-approved will fail inspection in West Perrine and can void a windstorm insurance credit you’d otherwise qualify for. We only spec doors with the matching NOA for the opening’s design pressure.
- Missing wind mitigation documentation. Florida Statute 627.0629 lets homeowners earn premium credits when an impact-rated opening is documented correctly. If the paperwork isn’t filled out properly after the install, the insurance discount disappears even though the door is fine.
- Slab swaps on openings that need a rebuild. A new slab hung on an out-of-square 1972 jamb binds at the corners and rubs the threshold within months. We check the rough opening with a level before we order the door, not after the old one is in the truck.

FAQs About Door Replacement in West Perrine
A permit is required when the opening is being altered, which applies to most exterior door replacements in West Perrine since a new door in an old jamb almost always means shimming, reframing, or flashing the rough opening. A like-for-like slab swap that leaves the frame untouched typically doesn’t need one, but we handle the permit pull and the inspection scheduling on any job that does. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll tell you straight what your specific opening needs.
Yes, and more here than in most cities. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s on CBS block usually have original wood jambs that need repair or replacement before the new door goes in, which adds $300 to $1,500 depending on rot depth. Newer homes that already have pressure-treated or composite jambs typically skip that step entirely.
Sometimes, if the frame is square, rot-free, and the hinge locations match the new slab. In our experience on West Perrine’s older blocks, maybe one in three existing frames is worth saving. We’ll tell you during the measure, and the written quote will reflect either a slab-only price or the full jamb rebuild so there’s no guesswork. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule that measure for free.
Once your door arrives, the install itself is a single day. Custom impact-rated doors are fabricated to order, so plan on four to six weeks from factory order to install date. Stock Therma-Tru and PGT units we keep in local inventory can often be installed in as fast as a single day once ordered, and we’ll give you the real calendar when we quote.
It can, because Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer windstorm premium credits when openings are documented as impact-rated. The average credit lands around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium, but the final number comes from your carrier after a wind mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150. We document every opening’s rating and NOA number so that inspection goes cleanly.
What Door Replacement Costs in West Perrine
Across Miami-Dade, impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per unit installed, and a dedicated impact door sits on the higher end of that range once you add frame work and hardware. A standard impact single-hung window goes for $900 to $1,800 depending on size and DP rating. Large or custom door openings, like a double-door entry or a contemporary glass pivot, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that mix doors and impact windows across a West Perrine house typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, driven by the number of openings, the wind zone rating required, and how much second-story work is involved. Every quote starts with a free in-home measure, and you get the written number before anything is ordered.
Florida Pays You Back
West Perrine homeowners can stack several financial offsets when a door replacement goes impact-rated. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though eligibility and funding cycles change, so treat that as a possibility rather than a guarantee. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which trims roughly 6% off the top on qualifying units. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on eligible exterior doors. And the windstorm-premium credit alone often averages around 25% on the windstorm portion after a $75 to $150 inspection. Your carrier and the program administrators set the final numbers – we document the door’s Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval details so you have what they need.
One note on ratings: every door we install in West Perrine carries a design pressure rating matched to that specific opening, and those DP numbers never exceed +/-100 PSF. Wind speeds in this area run in the 140 to 170 mph zone under HVHZ requirements, but that’s a wind speed, not a design pressure. If you’re comparing quotes, ask to see the NOA for the exact door configuration a contractor is proposing, not just a brand brochure.
And if you’ve been weighing impact doors against hurricane shutters, the straightforward difference is permanence. Shutters need to be found, carried, and hung before a storm warning turns serious. An impact-rated door protects the opening 24/7 with zero panel storage and zero setup, which is why Miami-Dade building culture has shifted so hard toward impact products. We don’t install shutters, but we’ll show you why a rated door is the cleaner long-term answer for the opening it covers.
