If you live off Flamingo Road, in the A-1 districts south of Orange Drive, or in one of the 1970s CBS ranch neighborhoods east of Davie Road, you already know this town is not like Plantation or Cooper City. Davie is horse country inside Broward County. That means county agricultural codes, jalousie-era rough openings, and wind-load rules the big-box stores do not talk about. We do. We are the Door Installation company that has worked those properties, passed those inspections, and fixed the doors other crews walked away from.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Dale built the company in 2008, but the craft tradition behind it runs many years deep. We are not a franchise crew cycling through South Florida zip codes. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up in uniform with a background-checked technician who measures every opening twice.
Davie homeowners call us because we know what the county inspector is going to flag before the inspector gets there. We know that a barn door off Shotgun Road is not a residential door. We know that a 1978 CBS ranch on a half-acre near Robbins Preserve almost certainly still carries the original aluminum jalousie frames, and that those rough openings were never sized for a modern impact-rated unit. That local knowledge is what keeps a Davie door job on schedule and on budget.
Every TruePane job is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When you call (863) 264-3649, you get a person who can schedule your estimate.
Our Door Installation Services in Davie
Entry & Swing Doors
A new entry door on a Davie ranch home is rarely a simple slab swap. The original rough opening on a 1970s CBS home was framed for a jalousie-era door, usually 30 or 32 inches wide and out of square by half an inch or more. We reframe, flash, and set a door that actually closes tight in July. In Davie’s horse-country zones, we also replace entry doors on barns and detached structures where the county requires agricultural-grade hardware and a Miami-Dade NOA.
Storm Doors
Storm doors in Davie do two jobs: they protect the primary entry door from UV and wind-driven rain, and they give ranch homes with no covered porch a layer of shade at the threshold. We stock storm doors in standard and custom sizes for the wide bays common on 1970s CBS construction. On properties off Griffin Road and Volunteer Road, we size the storm door to the existing slab step so it does not alter drainage and trigger a Broward County stormwater review.
Arched & Custom Doors
The newer stucco and tile homes in Davie’s western subdivisions often carry arched entry openings, and those curves complicate an impact retrofit. We template the arch, order a custom-radius frame, and set the door so the reveal is even all the way around. For horse properties, we have built custom swing doors for tack rooms and feed rooms that match the barn’s profile but meet the county’s structural wind-load requirements.
Double & French Doors
Wide sliding glass door bays are standard on Davie’s ranch homes, and many of those are being converted to double French doors for ventilation and access. A fusion-welded frame French door with impact glass is one of the most common upgrades we install in Davie, and one of the most difficult to set square in an original 1970s opening. We do it, we flash it, and we pass the inspection. On a lot off Flamingo Road in Davie’s horse country, our crew replaced a rotted jalousie-era slider in a 1970s CBS ranch with a fusion-welded frame impact-rated French door from Andersen, but the real job was the detached tack room. The county inspector flagged the existing hollow-core passage door for failing wind-load requirements, so we engineered and installed a commercial-grade steel swing door with continuous flashing tape and a reinforced jamb. Two separate permits. One on the house, one on the outbuilding.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We are authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we have been installing and servicing product lines for years. That matters in Davie because the county’s NOA requirements are specific to each manufacturer and each product line. We can put a PGT and a CGI quote side by side on paper for the same opening so you see exactly what the code-compliant option costs versus a premium aesthetic. We stock common hardware and replacement parts for these lines locally, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. If a manufacturer changes its NOA documentation, we know before the inspector asks.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Jalousie-era rough openings that will not fit a modern door. On 1970s CBS ranches, the original door frames were nailed to block and stuccoed in place. The rough opening is frequently undersized, out of square, or both. A new impact-rated door requires reframing the rough opening, which often triggers a whole-house permit inspection, not a swap.
- County inspectors rejecting residential doors on agricultural structures. Barns, stables, and tack rooms in Davie’s A-1 and estate zones fall under Broward County’s agricultural accessory structure rules. Off-the-shelf residential pre-hung doors lack the Miami-Dade NOA for agricultural structures, and inspectors reject them on sight. We order or fabricate swing and roll-up doors rated for high-velocity hurricane zones before that stop-work order lands.
- Drainage and grading conflicts on open acreage. A new swinging door that changes the slab step or threshold height can redirect sheet flow and fail Broward County’s stormwater review. We check the grade before we set the door, not after the inspector flags it.
- Septic and well setback confusion. On Davie acreage lots, the septic drain field and well head have county-mandated setback distances from any new structural opening. A door you want to add on the back side of a detached garage may be too close to the drain field. We check the site plan before quoting, so the price you see on paper is the price the job costs.
Pricing for Door Installation in Davie, FL
In Davie, a standard entry door replacement on an existing residential opening runs $850-$2,200.

Arched and custom doors start around $2,800 and climb with radius template work and custom glass. Barn, stable, and detached structure doors are quoted per project because the county permitting path and wind-load engineering change everything. What changes the price? Rough opening reframing, NOA documentation for the specific product, agricultural permitting, drainage regrading, and septic or well setback conflicts. We scope all of it before we quote, so the number on the estimate is the number on the bill. Estimates are free. Call (863) 264-3649 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Door Installation in Davie
It depends on the structure. A door on the primary residence goes through the city of Davie’s permit path. A door on a barn, stable, tack room, or detached structure on A-1 or estate-zoned land is regulated by Broward County as an agricultural accessory structure, which carries different setback and wind-load requirements and often its own permit. We determine the permit path before quoting so there are no surprises. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free site review.
Broward County building inspectors will not pass a permit on a structure with jalousie windows remaining anywhere in it. The jalousie is a code violation under Florida’s post-Andrew impact rules. If your 1970s ranch still has jalousies, a simple door swap becomes a whole-house window replacement before the door permit can close. We tell you this before we bid, not after the inspector shows up.
Every door on an open acreage lot in Davie must carry a Miami-Dade or Broward County Notice of Acceptance for the high-velocity hurricane zone. There is no inland exemption in Broward County. Agricultural structures have their own specific wind-load requirements, and we quote only doors with current NOA documentation. Call (863) 264-3649 and we will walk you through the exact rating for your opening.
Broward County enforces minimum setback distances between any new structural opening and a septic drain field or well head. A door you want on a detached garage or outbuilding may be too close to the drain field to pass permit review, which changes the scope or the location. We check your site plan and the county setback table before we quote the door.
Almost never. The original rough opening on a 1970s CBS ranch was framed for a jalousie-era door, which was narrower and set to looser tolerances than any modern impact-rated unit will accept. A standard Andersen or Pella door does not fit clean. The rough opening needs reframing, flashing, and re-stucco work at the jamb. We include that in the estimate up front. Call (863) 264-3649 for an exact quote on your opening.
