WHAT DOOR REPLACEMENT MEANS

Front door replacement, built for hurricane season

Front door replacement is the job most homeowners call us about first, because it is the door they use and see every day. We remove the old door and its frame and install a new impact door in the same opening, measured and anchored for your wall.

Patio and side doors get the same treatment. A sliding glass door that sticks or leaks, a pair of French doors that no longer seal, or a side door that has started to rust or rot can all be replaced with impact doors that open the way you are used to.

Every replacement door we install uses laminated impact glass with the frame and hardware tested together as one unit, so the opening is protected on its own, with no shutters to put up.

WHY REPLACE YOUR DOORS

What a new door changes

An old exterior door is usually the weakest opening in the house. Replacing it fixes more than the look.

Hurricane protectionLaminated impact glass and a reinforced frame are built to hold against high winds and flying debris.
Stronger securityImpact glass is far harder to break through than standard glass, and new hardware closes tight every time.
No more leaks or stickingOld doors swell, sag and let in rain. A new unit goes in square, with fresh weatherstripping and a new threshold.
A front entry you likeGo from a dated six-panel door to clean full glass or one of 86 bronze double-door designs.

Front Door Replacement & Replacement Doors for South Florida Homes

South Florida homes take a beating. Sun, salt air, summer rain and hurricane season all work on the doors first, and an exterior door that once looked sharp can end up faded, warped and hard to lock. Guardian Impact Windows & Roofing installs replacement doors across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, and front door replacement is the job we are asked about most.

We replace the whole door, frame and all, with an impact door sized to your existing opening. The result looks better, closes better and protects the opening during a storm. Whether you need one door or every door in the house, the process is the same.

When it is time for replacement doors

  • It looks dated. A new front door is one of the fastest ways to change how the outside of a house looks.
  • Security worries you. Old glass, loose frames and worn locks are easy targets. Impact glass is far harder to break through.
  • You feel drafts or see water. Gaps around a tired door let in hot air and rain and push up cooling costs.
  • It sticks, sags or won't latch. Swollen and warped doors only get worse. A new unit goes in square and swings freely.

Impact door replacement and the HVHZ

Miami-Dade and Broward are in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which has the strictest product-approval and installation rules in the state. Impact door replacement here is permitted work: the door has to be an approved product, it has to be installed the way it was tested, and a city inspector has to sign off. Guardian is a Certified General Contractor (CGC1524314). We pull the permit, install the door with our own crew and schedule the final inspection.

Entry door, patio door and sliding glass door replacement

Entry door replacement covers single front doors and double entries. If you want something with more character, our catalog has 86 bronze impact double-door designs you can try on a South Florida entry before the estimate. For the back of the house, sliding glass door replacement and French door replacement let you keep the same opening and the same view, with impact glass in place of the old panels. Side doors are replaced the same way.

A window and door replacement company you can call back

Guardian has served South Florida homeowners for more than 15 years. We are local, licensed and insured, and the same company that sells your door pulls the permit, installs it and closes out the inspection. Pair new doors with replacement windows and every opening in the house is covered.

Door replacement questions

How much does front door replacement cost?

It depends on the size of the opening, single or double door, the glass and the design you choose. We don't guess at a price before we measure, because no two openings are the same. The free in-home estimate gives you an exact price, and you can ask about 2.9% APR or 60 months no interest while the sale lasts.

What does patio or sliding glass door replacement cost?

The same things drive it: the width of the opening, the number of panels, sliding or French, and the glass. Your estimator measures the opening and prices the options side by side so you can compare.

Do you replace the frame, or just the door?

The whole unit. An impact door is tested as a complete assembly, door, frame and hardware together, so we remove the old door and frame and install the new unit in the existing opening.

Do I need a permit to replace an exterior door?

Yes. Replacing an exterior door in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach County needs a building permit. Guardian pulls the permit and schedules the city inspection that closes it out.

Can I change a single door to a double door?

We install replacement doors in your existing opening. A single opening gets a single door, and a double opening gets a double or French door. Your estimator will measure and show you every design that fits.

Do impact doors replace hurricane shutters?

Yes, for that opening. An impact door is built to take wind and flying debris on its own, so there is nothing to put up when a storm is coming.

Will new impact doors help with my insurance?

They can. A wind mitigation inspection checks how your openings are protected, and impact-rated doors and windows count toward it. Savings depend on your insurer and the rest of the home, so ask your agent once the job is finished.
