AfterDouble & French Doors in Coral Springs, FL
Installing double or French doors in a Coral Springs home requires precision because our humid, subtropical climate puts unusual stress on wood and composite frames. When we install these doors, we account for the specific expansion and contraction cycles common in Florida, ensuring that the heavy panels swing true and seal tight against wind-driven rain. Double and French doors are a classic choice for patio access or interior transitions, but they fail quickly if the threshold is not set perfectly level or the hinge placement is off by even a fraction of an inch. At TruePane Windows & Doors, our Door Installation services specialize in these systems, ensuring they operate properly for years rather than just until the next rainy season. You can reach us at (727) 261-2215 to discuss your specific opening and the manufacturer options that fit your budget.
We approach every job with the understanding that a door is only as good as its installation. Many homeowners in Coral Springs find that their current French doors bind in the summer heat or leak during our frequent afternoon thunderstorms. This is rarely a fault of the door itself, but rather a fault of how it was set into the rough opening. As a second-generation glazier, Dale Kessler founded this company on the rule that if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our technicians measure every opening twice and check the plumb of the frame before we ever remove the old unit. Whether you need a simple aesthetic upgrade or a high-impact rated system to handle hurricane season, we provide side-by-side quotes on manufacturer lines like PGT and Jeld-Wen so you see exactly what you are paying for.

When You Need Double & French Doors
You may be considering new double or French doors for a variety of reasons, ranging from energy efficiency to simple wear and tear. In our experience working across Coral Springs neighborhoods, we see these specific symptoms that indicate it is time to replace your existing units:
- The doors bind or drag on the threshold: If you have to lift the handle or shove the door to get it to close, the frame has likely shifted or the hinges have sagged. We see this often in older homes where the foundation has settled slightly over the last two decades.
- Visible daylight around the perimeter: If you can see light through the gaps when the door is closed, you are losing conditioned air and inviting humidity and insects inside. This is a common failure point for builder-grade doors that were not properly flashed or sealed during the original construction.
- Fogging between glass panes: Many French doors feature dual-pane glass. If you notice condensation or white haze between these panes, the seal has failed, and the insulating gas is gone. This cannot be repaired; the glass unit or the door panel must be replaced.
- Rot or water damage at the base: Because of the humidity in South Florida, wood-frame doors often rot at the bottom where they meet the threshold. If the wood feels soft or spongy to the touch, the structural integrity is compromised and the door is no longer secure.
- Drafts and high energy bills: If your air conditioning runs constantly during the peak of summer, your patio doors might be the culprit. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient units with high-performance glass can make a noticeable difference in your monthly cooling costs.
Our Double & French Doors Process
We do not use subcontractors, and we do not rush the work. Our process is designed to ensure that when we leave your driveway, the job is done right and the warranty is registered. Here is how we handle a double or French Entry & Swing Doors installation:
- Detailed Site Inspection: We arrive at your home to measure the rough opening and inspect the condition of the existing sill and framing. We check for hidden water damage or rot that might need repair before the new door can be set.
- Upfront Quote and Selection: We review the manufacturer options-such as PGT or Simonton-and provide a clear, written quote. We explain the difference between impact-rated glass and standard tempered glass so you can make an informed choice for your home’s security.
- Preparation and Removal: We carefully remove the existing doors and clear the opening. We clean the sub-floor and inspect the flashing to ensure the new door will have a watertight seal against the Coral Springs climate.
- Precision Installation: We set the new frame, leveling it in all directions. We use shims strategically to ensure the door remains square and operates smoothly. We then secure the frame to the structure according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Sealing and Finishing: We apply high-grade weatherstripping and sealant around the perimeter. We test the swing and the latching mechanism repeatedly to ensure the doors close with a gentle click, not a slam.
- Warranty Registration: Before we leave, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in your name. We review the Done Right Promise with you so you know exactly how we stand behind our work.
Double & French Doors Pricing in Coral Springs
The cost of installing double or French doors in Coral Springs varies based on the material, the type of glass, and the complexity of the opening. We provide upfront, no-hassle pricing so you never have to worry about surprise line items on your bill. While exact quotes require an on-site inspection, you can use these ranges for general planning purposes:
| Door Type | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Vinyl French Doors | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Impact-Rated French Doors | $4,500 - $7,200 |
| Custom Wood-Clad French Doors | $6,000 - $9,500+ |
Several factors will influence where your project falls within these ranges. Impact-rated glass is a common requirement in our area, which increases material costs but provides significant protection during hurricane season. If your existing opening is non-standard, we may need to perform custom carpentry to frame it correctly, which adds to the labor time. We offer free estimates to give you an accurate, written number before any work begins. Call (727) 261-2215 to schedule a time for us to look at your doors.

Is it better to repair or replace my double doors?
If your doors are binding due to minor frame shifting or simple hardware failure, a repair might be sufficient, but rot or failed glass seals usually require a full replacement. We always assess the structural integrity of the frame first; if the cost of repairing the wood and replacing the glass approaches the cost of a new, warrantied door, we will recommend replacement.
