Interior and Exterior Door Installation Services
Whether you need a new front entry door, sliding patio door, French doors, or interior passage doors, a licensed general contractor handles the full scope — framing adjustments, threshold work, weatherstripping, and hardware installation — so the job passes inspection the first time.
Exterior door installations in particular require attention to the rough opening, proper shimming, and a continuous seal against weather. Interior doors involve accurate plumb-and-level hanging and correct latch alignment. Both types benefit from a contractor who can handle any framing surprises discovered once the old door comes out.

What Parkland Homeowners Should Know Before Installing a Door
Parkland is a planned residential city in northwestern Broward County, and its homes reflect that — large single-family lots in gated communities like Heron Bay, Parkland Golf and Country Club, and Parkland Isles, many built in the 1990s through 2000s with standard 6-8 ft entry door configurations that are now being upgraded to modern 8 ft or double-door systems.
Broward County enforces the Florida Building Code (FBC), which requires impact-resistant or impact-rated doors for openings in homes within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Parkland sits on the edge of HVHZ designations, and many lenders and insurers require documentation confirming that replacement doors meet Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or FBC product approval standards. A permit is typically required for exterior door replacements in Parkland, and the City of Parkland Building Division conducts inspections.
Homes in Parkland's older sections may also have wood framing that has absorbed humidity over decades in South Florida's climate, which can mean soft or damaged jack studs around the rough opening. Identifying and correcting this before the new door goes in prevents callbacks and ensures the door operates correctly year-round.

- Impact-rated door products required in applicable HVHZ zones
- Florida humidity can affect framing condition in pre-2005 homes
- HOA approval may be required in Parkland's gated communities before installation
General Contractor vs. Handyman for Door Installation
A straightforward interior door swap is a different job from replacing an exterior entry door in a hurricane zone. The exterior job involves code compliance, product approval documentation, a permit, and a scheduled inspection — none of which a handyman is licensed to pull in Broward County.
Dellamano Construction holds a general contractor license, which means the company can pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and take legal responsibility for the installation meeting code. For homeowners in Parkland planning to sell or refinance, this matters: unpermitted exterior door work can surface during title searches and delay closings.
For interior doors, having a general contractor handle the work alongside other renovation scope — flooring, trim, painting — is also more efficient than scheduling multiple separate trades.
How the Door Installation Process Works
The process starts with measuring the existing rough opening and confirming the door product selected meets any applicable code or HOA requirements. If a permit is required, Dellamano files it with the City of Parkland Building Division before work begins.
On installation day, the old door and frame are removed, the rough opening is inspected and corrected if needed, and the new door unit is set, shimmed, and secured. Exterior doors get flashed and sealed against Broward County's rain exposure. Hardware is installed and the door is tested for smooth operation before the job is considered complete. A final inspection is scheduled if a permit was pulled.
- Measure and confirm rough opening dimensions
- Permit application submitted if required
- Old door and frame removal

Common Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a door in Parkland, FL?
For exterior door replacements, yes — the City of Parkland requires a building permit, and the installed door must meet Florida Building Code product approval standards, particularly for impact resistance. Interior door replacements typically do not require a permit unless structural framing is being altered. Dellamano handles permit applications as part of the project scope.
How long does a door installation take, and will I be without a secure door overnight?
A single exterior door replacement is typically completed in one day, so the home is secured before the crew leaves. Multi-door projects or jobs requiring framing repairs may extend to two days. Scheduling is coordinated so that exterior openings are never left unsecured at the end of a workday.
My Parkland HOA requires approval before changing the front door. Can you help with that process?
Yes. Dellamano can provide product specifications, dimensions, and finish details needed for an HOA architectural review submission. Many Parkland communities — particularly in Heron Bay and Parkland Isles — require pre-approval for exterior changes, and having documentation prepared before installation avoids delays or required reversals.
