Sightline Windows & Doors handles entry doors, hurricane-proof front doors, French and double doors, and replacement doors across Miami. Every job starts with a measured survey you keep, and every door we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number we can show you before we order anything. That matters here more than anywhere else in Florida.

Why Sightline Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Door Installation Company

We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, which has governed every installation we’ve completed since 2012. Sonia Raman leads our crew, and when you call, a live person answers. No voicemail queue, no callback window. The person who surveys your opening is the same person who shows up to install the door, with a license number you can verify before they cross your threshold.

Miami homeowners read three-star reviews before they call anyone. We respect that. Our customers get a written price before any work starts, because the measured survey and the final quote are the same document under Haven Clause 1. If something doesn’t go right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it, in writing, on every job. We also document every visit with photos, standard, not as an upsell.

We know Miami’s building stock. We know that a 1962 CBS home in Little Havana has different rough openings than a 2005 townhouse in Doral. We know that Brickell condos face 40-year recertification pressure that single-family homes in Kendall don’t. That local knowledge is why homeowners who want a door installed right the first time call us.

Our Door Installation Services in Miami

Entry Doors

A new entry door in Miami is not a cosmetic swap. It’s a structural decision. We spec entry doors by the opening’s design pressure requirement, not by what’s on a showroom floor. For a typical Miami single-family home, that means a fiberglass or steel slab with an impact-rated core, marine-grade hinges, and a threshold flashing detail that won’t corrode in salt air. We install entry doors from $1,200 to $3,800 depending on slab material, glazing, and hardware.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Miami-Dade County operates under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, one of only a few jurisdictions in the country with that designation. That means every hurricane-rated door we install must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, a product approval standard stricter than Florida Product Approval alone. We spec PGT and CGI impact-rated doors with laminated glass interlayers and frames rated for the wind zone your specific address falls under. Expect $2,800 to $7,500 installed for a hurricane-proof front entry in Miami.

French & Double Doors

French doors in Miami work hard. They hold two slabs, meet at an astragal that has to seal against driving rain, and still need to swing smoothly after years of humidity exposure. We install French and double door systems from $3,200 to $8,000, with impact-rated glazing specified per opening. In Miami Beach, where historic preservation boards restrict profile depth and muntin patterns, we work within those limits and still deliver full NOA compliance.

Replacement Doors

Replacing a door in an older Miami home often means more than pulling the old slab and hanging a new one. In CBS construction from the 1950s through the 1980s, we regularly find rough openings that are undersized for modern hurricane-rated units. We re-frame with pressure-treated jamb extensions or full buck replacements, always priced in writing before we start. Replacement door installation in Miami runs $1,200 to $5,500, with the variance driven by framing condition, opening size, and the product you choose.

Storm & Exterior Doors

Storm doors in Miami serve a different function than up north. Here they protect your primary entry from salt spray, UV exposure, and wind-driven rain. We install storm and exterior doors from $900 to $2,800, with corrosion-resistant hardware as standard. For homes within a mile of Biscayne Bay, we recommend Kynar-coated frames and stainless hardware, because a standard aluminum storm door in Surfside or Coconut Grove shows oxidation within 8 to 10 years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami

We install doors from PGT, CGI, and CWS, plus five other manufacturer lines specified by performance tier and price range, not by margin. For Miami’s HVHZ requirements, PGT’s WinGuard series and CGI’s Sentinel line are common specs because their NOA documentation is thorough and their impact-rated cores hold up under repeated wind-load testing. We can pull product approval numbers for any configuration we quote you, before you sign anything. That’s the kind of documentation Miami inspectors expect.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes

• Undersized rough openings in CBS construction. Homes built between 1950 and 1985 in Miami, especially in Hialeah, Little Havana, and west Miami-Dade, were framed for thin jalousie doors. A modern impact-rated slab is thicker and needs a larger rough opening. We re-frame, we don’t force it.
• Non-NOA doors installed by out-of-area contractors. We see it regularly. Someone installs a door with Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. The inspection fails, the door gets red-tagged, and the homeowner waits four weeks for a re-order during hurricane season. We pull NOA documentation before we order, not after.
• Salt-air corrosion on hinges and thresholds. In waterfront Miami neighborhoods like Surfside and Coconut Grove, untreated hardware seizes within a few years. We specify Kynar-coated hardware and marine-grade flashing as standard on any opening within a mile of salt water.
• Jalousie door frames rotted into the block. Original jalousie doors from the 1950s and 60s have wood or thin aluminum frames that rot or corrode into the concrete block. Pulling them means masonry repair and jamb rebuilding. We quote that work as a line item before we start, never as a surprise.

What Door Installation Costs in Miami

Here’s what you can expect to pay for door installation in Miami, with real numbers from our recent jobs:

• Standard entry door replacement: $1,200 to $3,800 installed, depending on slab type and framing condition.
• Hurricane-rated front entry door: $2,800 to $7,500 installed, with NOA documentation and impact-rated glazing.
• French or double door system: $3,200 to $8,000 installed, including astragal sealing and threshold flashing.
• Storm or exterior door: $900 to $2,800 installed, with corrosion-resistant hardware.
• Whole-home door package (3-5 openings): $8,000 to $25,000+, depending on count and configurations.

What moves the price in Miami? Opening count is the biggest driver. Wind zone matters too, a home in Homestead faces stronger design pressure requirements than one in North Miami Beach. Floor height on condo work affects access and sometimes requires crane or lift time. Frame material on the slab itself, fiberglass vs steel vs aluminum, changes both product cost and installation labor. We give you a free in-home measure and a written quote that won’t change once work starts.

Our Door Installation team works from a simple rule: the measurement and the quote are the same document. You keep a copy. We work from the same copy. If the scope changes, the change order is in writing and approved before we touch anything.

What Opening Up an Older Miami Home Actually Turns Up

This is the part most door replacement companies won’t tell you until they’re already on site. We tell you before you sign anything.

When we open a wall in a 1960s CBS home in Miami, we regularly find outdated wiring that runs through the door jamb, undersized or damaged framing behind the old door, and waterproofing that failed years ago and has been quietly letting moisture into the block. A permit triggers code upgrades once walls are open, and those upgrades can be significant. We handle it three ways: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.

Sonia Raman insists on this. It’s why our quotes in Miami include a framing allowance line item, not a vague “contingency” percentage. If the rot is worse than expected, you see the number in writing and you approve it. A surprise is never a blank check with Sightline.

We recently retrofitted three entry doors in a 1962 CBS home in Little Havana. The original jalousie frames had rotted into the block, and the rough openings were 1.5 inches undersized for modern hurricane-rated slabs. Our techs re-framed the openings with pressure-treated jamb extensions, installed PGT impact-rated fiberglass doors with laminated glass interlayers, and sealed the thresholds with marine-grade flashing rated for a 70-PSF design pressure. The final Miami-Dade inspection passed on the first visit because we had the NOA packet clipped to the permit board before the inspector parked.

That’s the standard we work to in Miami. Documentation first, then installation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a courtesy, it’s written into the Haven Standard on every job.

Florida Pays You Back

Door replacement in Miami can qualify for multiple incentive programs, and we help you document the work so you can claim them.

My Safe Florida Home matching grants provide up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-rated doors count. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6-7% on product cost at the point of sale. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year, for energy-efficient exterior doors. After a wind mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Miami homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, we can’t guarantee a specific amount, but we provide the documentation your insurer or program administrator needs.

One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Impact doors and windows are permanent protection. You don’t hang panels at 2 a.m. when a storm is 12 hours out. You don’t store plywood in the garage or pay someone to install shutters every season. An impact-rated door protects your opening 365 days a year, and it’s already in place when the warning comes. That’s the difference Miami homeowners feel most after their first real storm.
