Front Door Replacement

Front Door Replacement means removing your existing entry door and installing a new one that fits your opening properly, seals against Orlando’s rain and humidity, and gives your home better curb appeal and security. Most Orlando homeowners replace a front door because the old one has warped from moisture, the frame has rotted at the sill, or the door no longer latches without a shove. A front door replacement in Orlando typically runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed depending on the material, the hardware you choose, and whether the frame needs rebuilding.

What Gets Replaced

We don’t just swap the slab. A proper replacement includes the door, the frame, the threshold, the weatherstripping, and the lockset. If the rough opening has rot from Orlando’s wet summers, we rebuild it before the new door goes in.

Material Options That Work Here

Fiberglass holds up best against Orlando’s humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. Steel costs less but can dent and rust at the bottom edge. Wood looks beautiful but needs maintenance every couple of years to survive Florida’s climate.

Door Replacement

Door Replacement covers any interior or exterior door in your Orlando home that has outlived its usefulness, whether it’s a bedroom door that no longer closes, a back door that leaks air, or a garage entry door that’s swollen in the frame. The cost for a standard door replacement in Orlando runs $400 to $1,800 for interior doors and $1,000 to $4,000 for exterior doors, depending on the size, the material, and whether the frame needs work.

Interior Door Replacement

Interior doors in Orlando homes take a beating from constant air conditioning cycles that expand and contract the wood. Hollow-core doors warp and bind. We replace them with solid-core or molded panels that stay square through the seasons.

When Replacement Beats Repair

If the door slab is split, the hinges are pulling loose, or the frame is rotted at the bottom, patching it only buys you a few months. Replacement costs less than repeated repairs and gives you a door that actually works.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Sliding Glass Door Replacement swaps out an old, hard-to-move patio slider for a new unit that rolls on smooth tracks and seals out Orlando’s rain and bugs. You need this when the rollers have worn flat, the frame is corroded, or the glass fogs between the panes. Sliding glass door replacement in Orlando generally runs $1,500 to $4,500 installed, with impact-rated options from PGT and CGI adding cost but also adding storm protection.

Impact-Rated Sliders for Orlando

Orlando sits in a wind-borne debris zone, and an impact-rated sliding glass door means you don’t have to wrestle plywood panels every time a hurricane approaches. Westlight installs PGT and CGI sliders rated for Florida’s building code.

Signs Your Slider Is Done

When you have to lift the door to slide it, the rollers are gone. When condensation lives between the glass panes, the seal has failed. Both problems get worse, not better, and neither one is worth repairing on an old aluminum frame.

Storm Door Installation

Storm Door Installation adds a second door outside your main entry door, giving you ventilation, an extra layer of weather protection, and a barrier against Orlando’s summer insects. A storm door installation in Orlando typically costs $500 to $1,400 installed, depending on the size, the glass package, and whether you want a retractable screen.

Ventilation Without the Bugs

A storm door lets you open the main door on a cool evening and still keep mosquitoes on the outside. Full-view storm doors with retractable screens are the most popular choice we install in Orlando neighborhoods like Pine Castle and Meadow Woods.

Protecting Your Main Door

Storm doors catch the brunt of Orlando’s afternoon rain and sun, which extends the life of the main entry door behind them. That’s a real cost savings over a decade of Florida weather.

Sliding Glass Door Installation

Sliding Glass Door Installation means setting a new patio slider into an opening where none exists, such as a kitchen wall opening onto a lanai or a master bedroom that needs access to a back patio. New sliding glass door installation in Orlando runs $2,000 to $6,000 installed because it requires cutting an opening, framing it, and finishing both the interior and exterior.

Opening a Wall the Right Way

Cutting a new opening means dealing with the header, the load path, and Orlando’s strict wind-load requirements. We pull the permit, engineer the opening, and pass the inspection. That’s part of the written price you get before work starts.

Energy Efficiency Matters

A new slider from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems with low-e glass (a thin coating that reflects heat back into the room in winter and out in summer) can noticeably cut the cooling load on a west-facing Orlando wall. That west light is beautiful, but it also carries heat.

Door Repair

Door Repair covers the small things that go wrong before a door needs full replacement: a sticking latch, a sagging hinge, a gap at the threshold, a screen that’s torn, or a frame that has pulled away from the wall. Door repair in Orlando typically costs $150 to $600 depending on the issue and the parts required.

What We Fix Without Replacing

Loose hinges can be re-seated and re-shimmed. A latch that won’t catch can often be corrected by repositioning the strike plate. A threshold gap can be sealed with a new adjustable threshold. We’ll tell you honestly when repair makes sense and when replacement is the better money.

When Repair Is a Band-Aid

If the door slab itself is warped or the frame is rotted past the fastening points, repair buys you a few months before the problem returns. We’d rather tell you that up front than take your money twice.

Exterior Door Installation

Exterior Door Installation covers any door that leads from your Orlando home to the outside: front doors, back doors, side doors, garage entry doors, and patio doors. Exterior door installation in Orlando runs $1,000 to $4,800 installed depending on the door type, the material, and whether the opening needs reframing.

Sealing Against Florida Weather

An exterior door in Orlando has to handle daily thunderstorms, intense UV exposure, and months of high humidity. We install doors with proper flashing, sill pans, and weatherstripping so water stays outside where it belongs.

Security That Actually Locks

A door that doesn’t deadbolt isn’t secured. We set every exterior door so the deadbolt throws fully into the strike plate, and we test it before we leave. You shouldn’t have to lift, shove, or jiggle a new door to get it to lock.

French Door Installation

French Door Installation puts a pair of hinged doors into an opening, either as an exterior patio entry or an interior transition between rooms like a dining room and a den. French door installation in Orlando typically runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed for exterior units and $800 to $2,500 for interior pairs, depending on the material and the glass package.

Exterior French Doors in Orlando

Exterior French doors need a strong center mullion and proper weatherstripping where the two doors meet, or you’ll get air and water leaks where they close. We prefer Therma-Tru for exterior French doors because their sealing system handles Florida’s rain better than most.

Interior French Doors

Interior French doors add light and flow between rooms without losing privacy. We install them with frosted or clear glass depending on the room, and we set the hinges so both doors close square and stay shut without a latch.

Brands We Service

Westlight Windows & Doors installs products from eight manufacturer lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That matters because no single brand is right for every Orlando home or every budget. We carry impact-rated PGT and CGI for storm protection, ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for energy-efficient sliders and picture windows, and Therma-Tru for entry doors that hold up to Florida’s weather.

We don’t push one brand on every job. The right product depends on the exposure, the budget, and the look you want. Whether you already have a CGI slider that needs replacing or you’re starting from scratch with an ES Windows upgrade, we can match the right product to the job rather than forcing the job to fit one brand.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Your door sticks or won’t latch. The slab has likely swollen from Orlando’s humidity or the frame has shifted. Forcing it only bends the hinges and makes the repair more expensive.
• You can see daylight around the door edges. That means the weatherstripping has failed and conditioned air is leaking out while hot, humid Orlando air leaks in. Your cooling bill notices even if you don’t.
• The bottom of the door feels soft or spongy. Water has been wicking up through the threshold. By the time it feels soft, the rot is inside the frame and spreading.
• Your sliding door takes real effort to open. The rollers are shot, and dragging the door across worn tracks damages both the door and the frame. It only gets harder from here.
• Condensation or fog lives between the glass panes. The seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The glass unit needs replacement, and while you’re in there, we’ll check the frame too.
