AfterFrench & Double Doors in Naples, FL
Door installation for French and double doors in Naples typically runs between $1,400 and $4,800 installed, depending on glass type, frame material, and whether impact-rated units are required – and in Collier County, they usually are. Most jobs take a single day, and every install TruePane Windows & Doors completes is backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
If you have a set of French doors that drag on the tile, a double door that lets the Gulf humidity pour through a failed seal, or an entry you want to replace before the next storm season, call us at (239) 326-9942. A live person picks up every call, around the clock, seven days a week – no voicemail tree to sort through, no callback form to submit.
TruePane has been part of the Naples community since Dale Kessler opened the doors in 2008, building on a second-generation glazier’s tradition that stretches back well over 42 years. Our work on Door Installation in Naples covers the full range of residential door projects – French and double doors are among the most common requests we get from homeowners in Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Aqualane Shores, and the older neighborhoods off Goodlette-Frank Road where original builder-grade door sets have simply reached the end of their useful life.
Naples is not a forgiving climate for a door that was never installed correctly. Salt air off the bay accelerates hardware corrosion. The wet season pushes standing water against threshold seals that were never fully set. And Florida Building Code 2021 requires that most entry doors in Collier County meet impact or wind-load standards that older single-pane French doors do not come close to satisfying. Getting a new set of French or double doors done right here means more than replacing doors with another slab – it means understanding the building envelope, the local permit requirements, and the specific manufacturer lines that perform in this environment.
That is the work we do. If the pane is not true, the job is not done – and that founding rule applies to every French door we hang.
When You Need French & Double Doors
- Doors that bind or drag in summer. Wood-frame French doors that were installed without accounting for Naples’ humidity swings will swell through July and August until the latch no longer catches. If you are lifting the handle to throw the deadbolt, the frame has moved and a proper install is overdue.
- Failed glass seals and persistent fogging between panes. When the argon or air fill between the lites has leaked out, the insulating value is gone and condensation clouds the view permanently. In a coastal environment like Naples, seal failure tends to happen faster than most homeowners expect – we see it regularly in units that are only eight to ten years old near the waterfront.
- Non-impact glass in a hurricane-exposure zone. If your French doors still carry standard annealed glass and no laminate layer, they do not meet current Collier County code for an occupied structure in a wind-borne debris region. Replacing them with a CGI or CWS impact-rated unit is not a luxury – it is a code and insurance matter.
- Hardware that has corroded past adjustment. Saltwater air gets into hinges, multi-point lock mechanisms, and sill tracks. When we open a door set in a home on Gulf Shore Boulevard or Vanderbilt Beach Road and find hardware that is salt-pitted down to bare metal, adjustment is rarely enough. A full door replacement with marine-grade hardware is the square deal.
- An entry that no longer reflects the house. Many Naples homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have builder-grade hollow-core double doors that look dated against updated landscaping and facades. Homeowners who plan to stay in place – not sell – often want an entry that matches what the rest of the house has become over thirty years.
- Permit-required replacement after storm damage. After a named storm, Collier County requires a permit for any door replacement on the primary structure. Our team handles the permit application as part of the project, so you are not navigating the county portal on your own while managing everything else a storm leaves behind.
Our French & Double Doors Process
- Free on-site measurement and consultation. We come to you – no charge for the visit. We measure the rough opening twice, check the sill for level and the frame for plumb, and assess whether the existing framing can carry the new unit or needs shimming and blocking. Naples slab construction is common, but we also work in older Naples Park homes with wood-frame construction that requires a different approach to the rough opening entirely.
- Side-by-side quotes on paper. We carry authorized installer agreements with CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and several other manufacturer lines. We put the relevant options on paper side by side – glass type, frame material, impact rating, warranty duration – so you can see exactly what you are buying and what each line costs. No verbal estimates, no numbers that change between the driveway and the invoice.
- Permit application where required. French and double door replacements in Collier County typically require a permit when they involve structural modifications or when the new unit differs in size from the original rough opening. We handle the application, the product approval submission, and the inspection scheduling so the project is clean on the county record.
- Factory-prepared unit delivery and installation day. On install day, a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives at the time we said. The old door set comes out, the rough opening is inspected and corrected if needed, and the new unit goes in level, plumb, and square. Flashing tape, sealant at the perimeter, and threshold weatherstripping are all installed per manufacturer specification – not skipped to save thirty minutes.
- Warranty registration before we leave. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers – manufacturer’s product warranty and manufacturer’s installation warranty – are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. You receive documentation you can file. If something goes wrong in year two, you are not chasing paperwork.
- 90-Day Done Right follow-up. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means that if anything is off in the first three months – a hinge that settles, a latch that needs adjustment, a seal that was not fully set – we come back and make it right. No arguing about what the warranty covers. We stand behind it.
French & Double Doors Pricing in Naples
French and double door pricing in Naples depends on four main variables: unit size, glass specification, frame material, and impact rating. Below are honest installed ranges based on current market conditions in Collier County. These are not low-ball numbers meant to get us in the door – they reflect what the work actually costs when done correctly.
| Unit Type | Typical Installed Range |
|---|---|
| Standard double door, non-impact, 6’0″ x 6’8″ | $1,400 – $2,200 |
| French door pair, impact-rated (PGT / CGI), 6’0″ x 6’8″ | $2,400 – $3,600 |
| French door pair, impact-rated, oversized or custom sill height | $3,200 – $4,800 |
| Double door with sidelites, impact-rated | $3,800 – $5,500 |
| Permit fee (Collier County, typical range) | $150 – $400 |
| Framing correction / rough opening modification | $200 – $600 (if needed) |
A few things that move the number up: decorative leaded or beveled glass adds cost and lead time; oversize openings above 8’0″ tall require different handling for both the unit and the framing; and homes in Pelican Bay or Port Royal with HOA architectural review requirements sometimes need a specific profile or finish that limits which manufacturer lines apply.
A few things that keep the number down: if the existing rough opening is square, level, and the correct size, framing labor drops significantly. Standard 6’8″ height with a stocked frame profile from a line like CGI or CWS ships faster and costs less than a custom order. Seniors and veterans receive a standing 5% discount on every job, and if your repair side of the project exceeds $250, ask about our $50 Off Any Repair Over $250 offer.

Why Naples Homeowners Choose TruePane for French & Double Doors
The short answer is that they have usually called someone else first. A homeowner in Grey Oaks who had a pair of French doors installed three years ago by a crew that left without registering the warranty found out what that means when a hinge pulled from the jamb and the manufacturer had no record of the installation. We get those calls. We also get calls from homeowners in Coquina Sands who had units quoted at a number that seemed low and watched it climb once the crew was on-site and started finding reasons to add line items.
TruePane is not the cheapest bid in the room and we do not try to be. What we offer is work done right the first time, a written warranty structure you can hold us to, and a company that Dale Kessler built with the intention of it still being here – and still answering the phone – thirty years from now. We sponsor county fairs. We fund church roof repairs. We hire Naples residents and train them into journeymen glaziers. This is not a satellite office of a regional franchise; it is a company that is embedded in this community by choice.
When you call us about French or double doors in Naples, you will talk to someone who knows the difference between a CGI Series 150 and a CWS unit rated for the same exposure category, knows which Collier County inspectors require a specific product approval form, and knows that the slab homes off Rattlesnake Hammock Road have a slightly different threshold condition than the older elevated homes in Aqualane Shores. That specificity is what 42 years of doing this work in one place produces.

FAQs – French & Double Doors in Naples
Do French doors in Naples need to be impact-rated?
In most cases, yes. Collier County falls within a wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code, which means replacement exterior doors on an occupied residence typically must meet impact or approved wind-load standards. Non-impact units may be acceptable in specific situations with an approved storm shutter system, but hurricane-proof front & entry doors from lines like CGI or CWS are the standard path for most Naples homeowners. During our free measurement visit, we confirm which product approval category your opening requires. Call (239) 326-9942 and we can give you a straight answer before you buy anything.
How much does French door installation cost in Naples?
A standard storm & exterior door pair-impact-rated French-in a 6’0″ x 6’8″ opening runs $2,400 to $3,600 installed in the current Naples market. Oversize openings, sidelites, decorative glass, or rough opening corrections push that number higher – the full range runs from $1,400 for a basic non-impact double door to $5,500 or more for an oversized impact set with sidelites. Permit fees run $150 to $400 separately through Collier County. Estimates are free; call (239) 326-9942 to get a number specific to your opening.
Can you install French doors without replacing the frame?
Sometimes. If the existing frame is plumb, square, undamaged, and the correct size for the replacement unit, a slab-only swap is possible – but it is less common than homeowners expect, particularly in homes that are twenty or more years old. Salt air accelerates wood rot in jambs and sills, and a frame that looks fine from the inside may show significant deterioration once the slab comes out. We check before we quote, and we tell you honestly what we find – not what keeps the initial number low.
How long does French door installation take?
Most French and double door installations in Naples take four to six hours on install day for a standard opening with no framing surprises. If the rough opening needs correction or if the project involves removing a non-standard existing frame, the same-day completion window stretches but almost always holds. We do not schedule partial installs and return another day unless a permit inspection creates a mandatory hold. You will have a functioning, locked door set before we leave the job site.
What warranty comes with a TruePane French door installation?
Every French or double door installation TruePane completes is covered by two warranty layers under The Keystone Standard: the manufacturer’s product warranty (duration varies by line – typically ten years on the frame, up to lifetime on certain glass units) and the manufacturer’s installation warranty, which covers the integrity of the install itself. Both layers are registered in writing with durations stated before our truck leaves your driveway. On top of that, our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers any workmanship adjustment – hinge, latch, weatherstripping, sealant – at no charge within the first ninety days. No fine print, no arguing. We stand behind it.
