AfterTrusted Door Installation for Fort Myers Homeowners
Door installation in Fort Myers usually costs between $900 and $4,800 depending on the door type, material, and whether you’re adding impact-rated protection. Most standard entry door replacements take one day once your door arrives, and we handle everything from removing the old slab to hauling away the debris. If your door sticks, sags, lets in daylight around the edges, or feels flimsy against Fort Myers humidity and storm season, it’s time to do something about it. Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and since then we’ve installed thousands of doors across Lee County. Call (239) 453-7751 and a live person answers, day or night.

What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we install in Fort Myers starts with a straight conversation about what you actually need. We’re not here to upsell you on hardware you’ll never use or push a style that fights your home’s architecture. We measure, we listen, and we install the door that fits your opening, your budget, and your tolerance for hurricane season. Here’s what we handle.
Entry Doors
Your front door is the first thing guests touch and the first thing Fort Myers afternoon sun beats down on. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors, with fiberglass being the smart pick for most Florida homes because it won’t warp or swell in humidity the way wood will. Every entry door we install gets new weatherstripping, a properly shimmed frame, and a threshold that actually seals. If your current door is original to a 1980s Fort Myers home, you’re losing cooled air every single day.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Fort Myers building codes require impact protection on exterior doors, and hurricane-rated front and entry doors do more than pass inspection, they protect the entire envelope of your home. We install impact-rated doors from PGT and other Florida-approved manufacturers, complete with the documentation your insurer wants to see. When a storm turns a two-by-four into a missile at 120 mph, the difference between a code-approved door and a big-box door is the difference between a dry living room and a flooded one. These doors also knock down outside noise and bump your home’s resale value.
French & Double Doors
French doors open a room to the lanai or garden, and they’re also one of the most common points of failure in Fort Myers homes because they have two slabs that both need to seal perfectly. We install hinged French and double doors with reinforced frames, adjustable hinges, and multi-point locking systems that keep both doors working in alignment. If your French doors bind in the summer or leave a gap at the center, the framing or hinges have shifted and it won’t fix itself. We set them right the first time.
Replacement Doors
Sometimes the frame is fine and all you need is a new slab, but most Fort Myers homes we see need the full pre-hung door replaced because the frame has rotted at the bottom from years of rain splash and humidity. We pull the old door, inspect the rough opening for water damage, repair or replace the framing as needed, and set the new pre-hung door plumb and square. A replacement door installed by Winslow Windows & Doors closes with one finger, not a hip-check.
Storm & Exterior Doors
An exterior storm door adds a second barrier against heat, bugs, and rain, and it lets you open the main door for light without inviting every mosquito in Fort Myers inside. We install full-view storm doors with retractable screens, plus rear and side exterior doors that get just as much weather as the front. These doors take a beating from daily use, so we use reinforced corners and quality closers that don’t sag after six months. If you’ve never had a storm door that actually closes smoothly, you’ll notice the difference immediately.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for Therma-Tru, PGT, Mr-Glass, and several other premium manufacturers. Our installers have built hundreds of Therma-Tru entry systems, which means we know their hinge adjustments, their threshold profiles, and the exact shim points that keep a Therma-Tru door swinging true for decades. We install Therma-Tru with the factory-recommended methods, not shortcuts, and we stand behind the work with our own 36500-Day Done Right Promise on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.
For hurricane-rated protection, PGT is the name most Fort Myers homeowners already know, and we’ve been installing their impact doors since Ed founded the company in 2011. We measure, order, and install PGT products to their exact specification so the product approval stays intact. We also work with Mr-Glass for specific impact and architectural doors. If your current door is another brand entirely, we can still service or replace it. Bring us the make, we’ll tell you straight whether repair makes sense or replacement is the better money.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- You can see daylight around the closed door. If light gets through, so does humid air, rain, and every dollar you spend cooling your Fort Myers home. The weatherstripping is gone or the frame has twisted, and that door is failing its only job.
- The door sticks, drags, or won’t latch without force. Florida humidity makes wood swell and frames shift, and a door that sticks today becomes a door that won’t close during the next storm. Forcing it wears out the hinges and the lock, and it’s a security risk if it won’t latch securely at night.
- Water stains or soft spots at the bottom corners. Rain splash from Fort Myers afternoon downpours eats door frames from the bottom up. If the wood feels soft when you push a screwdriver into it, the frame is rotting and a new slab alone won’t fix it.
- The door is original to the home and pre-dates Florida impact codes. Any exterior door installed before the early 2000s likely doesn’t meet current wind-load requirements. Beyond code, an old hollow-core door is a weak point that storms and burglars both know about.
- You feel drafts or smell outside air near the door. Heat, humidity, and outside odors moving through your closed door means the seal has failed. Your AC runs harder, your humidity climbs, and mold becomes a real possibility in a Fort Myers summer.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call, a person answers. Dial (239) 453-7751 and you’ll get a live human, not a phone tree. We ask a few questions about your door, your home’s age, and what’s going wrong, then we schedule a free estimate at a time that works for you.
- 2
We come out and measure everything. Ed or one of our uniformed, background-checked technicians arrives at your Fort Myers home, inspects the existing door and frame, and takes precise measurements. We check the rough opening for rot, verify the floor is level, and note any code requirements that affect your project.
- 3
You get a written, line-item quote. We don’t do verbal ballparks that change later. You get a written estimate that itemizes the door, hardware, installation labor, and any frame repair. That’s the price. If something hidden turns up during the job, we stop and talk to you before spending one more dollar.
- 4
We install the door right, the first time. Your new door goes in plumb, square, and sealed. We shim correctly, insulate the rough opening, install new trim, and test the door through a full open-close cycle, checking the latch, sweep, and weatherstripping. Then we clean up and haul away the old door and all debris.
- 5
We walk the job with you and back it with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Before we leave, you walk the finished door with your installer. If anything isn’t right, we fix it. And our promise stands for 100 years: if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. That’s a long time to be held accountable, and it’s exactly the point.
