"DO NOT HIRE – NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE WITH MIKE GOMEZ / BLUEPRINT WINDOWS LLC My experience with Mike Gomez of Blueprint Windows LLC was a complete disaster and should serve as a serious warning to others. In January 2025, I hired him to install hurricane impact windows. After obtaining HOA approval, I paid a $9,000 deposit on March 10 — which he promptly cashed. After that, everything unraveled. Despite my repeated efforts and full compliance with city and HOA requirements, Mr. Gomez failed to pull the required permits. Worse, he attempted to have me, the homeowner, listed as the contractor — something the City of Plantation confirmed was improper and unacceptable. Over the next several months, I accommodated every request and delay. I provided notarized authorizations, offered to meet him at the permitting office, and even agreed to revised payment terms. Yet, he never delivered any materials, never pulled permits, and never began any work. Instead, he sent a threatening email demanding another $9,108.44, claiming my $9,000 deposit was forfeited and threatening to place a lien on my property and sue me. No work was performed. No materials were received. This is not professional conduct — it’s coercion. Avoid this contractor at all costs."

"This company’s handling of my elderly parents' installation and inspection process was incredibly disappointing. When my parents informed Jake via text that they wouldn’t be available for the scheduled inspection, he didn’t respond to confirm a reschedule. Instead, my father later received a message stating he owed money, which was incorrect, as we have proof of payment. Proper bookkeeping would have prevented this confusion, yet there was no apology—just a dismissive remark that the message was sent in error. Jake then deflected the conversation, asking about the inspection status, which he should have known given the text sent that morning. The way Jake raised his voice and threatened not to reschedule the inspection was highly unprofessional. Customers should not be spoken to this way, especially when they’re trying to accommodate the company’s process. If a client isn’t available, a professional company should be flexible in rescheduling as many times as necessary to complete the service. Moreover, they seem to try to cover up negative reviews by soliciting new ones. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone against working with this company."

FAQs for door service projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.

It’s usually better to repair damaged interior doors and replace damaged exterior doors, but it depends on the type and extent of the damage. Damage to interior doors won’t threaten your home’s security, so if a repair or partial replacement of only the door (not replacing the door frame) is possible, that route should save you some money. Damage to an exterior door can compromise your home’s security, so it’s often better to replace it entirely, especially if there’s frame damage. You can ask your door installer which course of action is best for your situation.

The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an 80-by-48-inch door.

If you’re replacing an interior door, it’s best to get the work done in the summer or winter, as door installation professionals are the least busy during these seasons and might charge lower labor costs based on the decreased demand. You can also potentially save money by hiring a professional to install your exterior door during these seasons, but most homeowners wait until the spring or fall so that the extreme temperatures don’t put added strain on their HVAC systems while the door is being added or replaced.

It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
