We’re Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale, and we handle coastal door replacement here with crews who know exactly what salt air does to frames, hinges, and rollers.

Why Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We’ve replaced doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s low-rise condos, beachfront apartments, and 1950s-era single-family homes long enough to know the difference between a door that just looks old and one that’s been eaten by the Atlantic. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they want a price they can hold, a crew that shows up with a live arrival time, and doors built for hurricane season. That’s how we run every job. Sean Mackey, who leads our team, insists on it. Every project gets a written price before a single screw turns, and every installation is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: parts and labor, in writing, for a full year.
We stock parts for the doors most common in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, which means less waiting when a jamb needs retrofitting or a threshold has corroded through. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s at your door. And when you call, a real person answers, 24/7. No voicemail maze, no callback queue.
Door Contractors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Door Contractors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea do more than swap a slab. The job here usually means pulling an original aluminum slider or a wood entry door that’s been soaking in salt spray for 50 years, then rebuilding the opening to accept a modern impact-rated unit. Homeowners call us when a door won’t latch, when the frame has pulled away from the concrete block, or when a wind mitigation inspector flags a non-impact sliding glass door. Expect to pay $800 to $2,200 for labor on a standard replacement, with the door itself ranging from $1,200 to $4,500 depending on the product line.
Retrofitting Older Openings
In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, most original openings were built for jalousie windows and non-impact sliders. A new impact-rated door is heavier, thicker, and built to a sturdier frame spec, so the old jamb almost always needs rebuilding or reinforcing. We do this without tearing up the surrounding wall.
Coastal-Spec Hardware
We don’t hang a new door on zinc-plated hinges here. Salt air turns standard hardware into white crust within three years. We specify 316 stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every Lauderdale-by-the-Sea door project, even if the homeowner is on a tight budget.
Door Frame Repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Door Frame Repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically costs $400 to $1,800, depending on whether we’re splicing a corner, replacing a full jamb leg, or rebuilding the rough opening. The problem here is predictable: original aluminum frames corrode at the bottom rail within five to seven years of constant salt exposure, the jamb pulls away from the block, and the door sags out of square. You’ll notice the deadbolt starting to miss the strike plate, or daylight bleeding through at the corner. That’s the frame, not the door.
Corroded Thresholds and Bottom Rails
Salt makes its way into the bottom rail and threshold long before the rest of the door looks bad. We replace bottom rails with galvanized stock, set new thresholds in marine-grade sealant, and re-anchor the jamb so the door swings clean again.
Jamb Reinforcement for Impact Doors
If the door is being upgraded to an impact-rated unit, the frame needs to meet the same wind-load spec as the slab. We rebuild jambs with pressure-treated or composite fill, install stainless steel hinge screws, and verify the opening is square before the new door gets hung.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We carry and service PGT impact-rated doors, Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors, CWS laminated glass units, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass products. For Lauderdale-by-the-Sea installations we lean on Therma-Tru for entry doors because the fiberglass won’t swell, rot, or corrode like wood or steel in the salt air, and PGT for impact-rated sliders and French doors that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code HVHZ requirements. We keep common hardware and replacement glass units in our South Florida inventory, which means a door replacement or frame repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea doesn’t stall out waiting on a part from out of state.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames: The bottom rail pits and crumbles within years, not decades. The jamb pulls away from the block and the whole door sags. We rebuild with corrosion-resistant stock and stainless fasteners.
- Seized sliding door rollers from sand and salt: Exposed steel rollers bind up, and suddenly the panel won’t move. It happens every spring when renters and owners try to open doors that have sat closed through the winter salt winds.
- Zinc-plated hardware failure: Standard entry door hinges, strike plates, and screws develop a white rust bloom within three years close to the beach. We replace them with 316 stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every job.
- Non-impact doors flagged on wind mitigation inspections: Older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condos and homes often have original sliders that fail current code. Homeowners replace them with impact-rated units to pass inspection and reduce windstorm insurance premiums.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Constant salt spray is the answer. The oceanfront air carries salt and moisture that accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and steel hardware. A door frame two blocks off A1A in Fort Lauderdale may last 20 years; the same frame at El Mar Drive or Datura Avenue gives out in five to seven. The bottom rail corrodes first, the jamb pulls away, and the door sags. Rebuilding those frames with marine-grade materials fixes the failure permanently. Call (754) 354-1396 for an exact quote, free.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Many of these mid-century condo buildings still have original louvered jalousie windows and sliding door openings designed for much lighter, non-impact glass. We size the new impact-rated door, rebuild the jamb to handle the extra weight and wind load, and bring the opening up to current code. The old opening almost always needs retrofitting, which is part of the written quote, not a surprise change order. Call (754) 354-1396 to talk through your specific opening.
Any door installed east of the Intracoastal in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea needs to meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone, or HVHZ, requirements. That typically means a design pressure rating of at least ±50 or ±60 for a sliding glass door, and many oceanfront homes require ratings higher than that depending on exposure and building height. We specify the correct DP rating and install products that carry Miami-Dade NOA approval. If your current door failed a wind mitigation inspection, call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll quote the right replacement, free.
The glass itself holds up fine; it’s the frame and sealant around it that salt attacks. But there’s a catch. High humidity and constant salt exposure stress the seal on an insulated glass unit. If the door frame isn’t properly sealed with marine-grade polyurethane caulk, moisture gets into the frame, the seal degrades, and you get fog between the panes. We install Low-E insulated glass doors with stainless hardware and seal the entire rough opening specifically to prevent salt intrusion. For a specific quote on impact glass, call (754) 354-1396.
In most cases, yes. Windstorm insurers in South Florida offer premium credits for documented impact-rated openings, and a current wind mitigation inspection is usually required to qualify. Replacing a non-impact slider with a Miami-Dade NOA approved PGT impact-rated door often reduces the windstorm portion of your premium materially. We don’t handle insurance paperwork, but we do provide the product documentation and installation details your inspector needs. Call (754) 354-1396 for a free replacement estimate.
