AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Sunrise
Door installation in Sunrise, FL typically costs $1,200-$4,800 for a standard exterior door, and $2,800-$7,500 for an HVHZ-rated hurricane-proof entry system installed. Most Sunrise homes we serve get a new door installed in a single day once the unit arrives, though HOA review in communities like Sunrise Lakes can add one to three weeks to the calendar. We’ve worked the Sunrise Lake, Welleby, and Sawgrass Mills corridors long enough to know which buildings demand a Miami-Dade NOA before the permit clerk will even look at the application. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll walk the job with you, free.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Ed Winslow has put his name on every job we’ve done since 2011, and in Sunrise that carries weight because the work has to pass two reviews: the city’s HVHZ permit desk and your association’s architectural committee. We show up to the first appointment with the NOA documentation and product submittals already prepared, which is why Sunrise Lakes and Welleby property managers keep our number on file. Our technicians are background-checked and in uniform, so when the truck pulls up on Nob Hill Road or Sunset Strip, you know exactly who’s at your door before they knock.
Sunrise homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone at 2 a.m. when a failed door latch leaves a unit unsecured, and because our published address and license number mean no shell-company runaround. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies to every single install: if it’s not done right, we make it right, whether that means re-shimming a frame or replacing a panel that never should have shipped. The Door Installation team that serves Sunrise is the same crew that handles our Broward County commercial work, so the standard doesn’t drop for a single-family ranch on a cul-de-sac off Pine Island Road.
Our Door Installation Services in Sunrise
Entry Doors
A front door in Sunrise has to do double duty: it’s the first thing your neighbors see, and it’s the last line of defense when a September squall line rolls in off the Everglades. We install Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel entry systems that won’t swell in the humidity the way a wood door does after three summers. Most Sunrise entry-door replacements we quote include a new pre-hung unit, fresh weatherstripping, and a threshold that actually seals – because the original 1970s builders didn’t account for how much rain a summer afternoon can drop on a West Broward slab home.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Sunrise sits wholly inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a hurricane-proof door here isn’t a luxury – it’s the building code. Every exterior door we order for Sunrise carries a Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval, and we pull the permit ourselves before the first screw comes out. In the Sunrise Lakes communities especially, we’re replacing original aluminum-frame entry doors that were never impact-rated and never sealed properly, with units that match the association’s approved color palette and carry the documentation the city requires at inspection.
French & Double Doors
French doors opening onto a Sunrise patio or balcony have to hold up to wind loads that would rattle a non-impact unit right out of its track. We install impact-rated French and double door systems from CGI and CWS, sized to the opening and engineered to the design pressure your specific elevation demands. On condominium units in Sunrise Lakes Phase I through IV, we coordinate the finish and grille pattern with your HOA’s published standards before ordering, so the installation doesn’t stall at the approval stage.
Replacement Doors
When a Sunrise homeowner replaces an exterior door, they’re usually fixing one of three problems: a corroded threshold from decades of humidity, a frame that’s out of square from slab settlement, or an original door that was never impact-rated to begin with. Door Installation in Sunrise starts with an honest look at what’s failing – we don’t sell a new slab when the whole frame needs replacement, and we don’t leave a rotted jamb in the wall and call it done. For condo owners, we prepare the architectural submittal packet at the first visit so the HOA review runs parallel with the fabrication timeline rather than after it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Therma-Tru – eight brands total, but for Sunrise work we most often specify CGI for impact-rated double doors, PGT for sliding glass replacements, and Therma-Tru for front entry systems that need to look sharp without demanding maintenance. Because we install these brands constantly across Broward County, we keep the common hardware and weatherstrip components locally stocked, which means a latch or roller issue on a five-year-old door gets resolved faster than waiting on a distributor shipment. When you call about a door that’s sticking or a handle that’s loosened, we can usually identify the brand and the fix over the phone.
What Door Installation Costs in Sunrise
Entry door replacement in Sunrise runs $1,200-$3,800 installed for a solid fiberglass or steel unit in a standard 36-by-80 opening. Add impact-rated glazing and an HVHZ NOA-certified frame and the range moves to $2,800-$5,500. French or double door systems start around $4,000 and can reach $7,500 when you’re installing a CGI or CWS impact-rated unit with a multi-point lock. Here’s the honest table for Sunrise’s market:
- Standard entry door, non-impact: $1,200-$2,400
- Hurricane-proof front door (NOA-certified, impact glazing): $2,800-$5,500
- French or double door (impact-rated, both leaves): $4,000-$7,500
- Sliding glass door replacement (HVHZ impact): $3,200-$6,800
- Storm or exterior security door: $900-$2,200
What moves the price in Sunrise specifically: the design pressure rating your elevation requires (taller buildings in the Sunrise Lakes high-rises demand stronger units than a single-story ranch off Oakland Park Boulevard), whether the association requires a specific brand or finish, and how much framing work the existing opening needs after four decades of South Florida humidity. Every quote includes a free in-home measure and a line-item written estimate before we order anything. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule yours.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Non-code-compliant original doors in Sunrise Lakes condos. These units were built before Broward’s HVHZ impact requirements, and the original aluminum-frame doors are often seized at the track or corroded at the threshold. Replacement means pulling the building permit with NOA documentation and coordinating with the association’s approved product list.
- HOA architectural review filed after the door is ordered. We see this constantly: a homeowner picks a door, pays for it, and only then learns the Sunrise Lakes association requires a specific bronze finish and panel profile on all street-facing units. Now the wrong door is sitting in a warehouse and the review clock hasn’t even started. We file the submittal first.
- Summer afternoon rain finding an unsealed threshold. Sunrise afternoon storms are brutal and reliable, and a door that isn’t properly flashed and sealed will wick water into the slab and under the flooring. Older Sunrise homes with original thresholds almost always need replacement, not just re-caulking.
- Patio and balcony doors with failed rollers from humidity. The constant moisture in Sunrise’s climate wears out roller assemblies and corrodes aluminum tracks faster than inland Florida. A sliding door that takes two hands and a shoulder to move is a safety issue, not a minor annoyance.
Florida Pays You Back
Sunrise homeowners replacing exterior doors with impact-rated units can stack several incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns up to $600 per year on qualifying exterior door units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150) can unlock windstorm-premium credits that average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t control the programs or the carriers, so we won’t quote you a savings number we can’t stand behind – but we’ll install the door correctly, document everything with the proper NOA paperwork, and make sure the inspection goes smoothly.
Trusted Brands and Real Warranties
We install impact-rated doors from brands whose products carry Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers for every configuration we order – no exceptions, and never a design pressure rating above the +/-100 PSF ceiling that Sunrise’s wind zone actually demands. If you’re weighing impact windows versus hurricane shutters, the permanent protection of an impact-rated door means nothing to haul out of a closet at 11 p.m., nothing to mount in the rain, and no panel that someone forgets to install before the storm. When a Sunrise condo owner compares a big-box retail install against a licensed impact specialist, the question usually isn’t price – it’s whether the installer understands that an NOA is required before the permit gets issued, not something to chase after the fact. Our warranties cover accidental and hurricane glass breakage, delamination, and labor and materials, and they’re transferable.

FAQs - Door Installation in Sunrise
Sunrise requires both. Because the entire city sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every exterior door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval, and the installer must include that documentation with the permit application. A door with impact-rated glazing but no NOA for the specific frame-and-glass configuration will fail permit review. We bring the NOA paperwork to the first visit so there’s no delay later. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll walk you through the exact documents your building needs.
Most Sunrise Lakes phases complete architectural review in one to three weeks once a complete submittal is on file. The delays happen when the application is missing finish samples, product cut sheets, or NOA documentation, which is why we prepare the full packet before we ever order the door. If you’re in a building where the association is actively pushing adjacent units to match fixtures, we’ll help you time your submittal with the board’s meeting cycle. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll help you build the packet.
Yes, but the replacement must match the association’s published exterior standard for color, finish, and panel profile. In Sunrise Lakes and similar communities, we’ve seen boards reject doors that were installed with the right impact rating but the wrong bronze tone or the wrong grille pattern, because the rule is about facade uniformity, not just code compliance. When we prepare your HOA submittal, we include finish samples and product photos so the review isn’t a back-and-forth. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate on a door that will pass both reviews the first time.
Impact-rated doors can lower your windstorm premium when a wind-mitigation inspection documents the upgrades. The inspection typically costs $75-$150, and many Sunrise homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion after the documentation goes through. Your carrier sets the final number, so we won’t quote a savings figure we can’t verify, but an NOA-certified door is the foundational upgrade most inspections look for first. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll help you get the documentation right.
A hurricane-proof door is an impact-rated exterior door that carries a Miami-Dade NOA and is engineered to resist windborne debris and design pressures specified for Sunrise’s HVHZ wind zone. A storm door is a lighter, non-impact-rated outer door that sits in front of your main entry door to add ventilation and a second layer against weather – but it does not satisfy Sunrise’s building code for hurricane protection on its own. In Sunrise, the code-compliant choice is the hurricane-proof door; the storm door is an extra comfort feature, not a substitute for an NOA-rated unit. Call (904) 747-8989 to discuss which combination fits your opening.
