Interior Door Replacement Cost in Florida (2026 Guide)
What does it actually cost to replace interior doors in a Florida home? We break down material, labor, and total project costs with real 2026 numbers.
"How much does it cost to replace interior doors?" is the single most common question we hear from Florida homeowners — and it is also the hardest to answer in a single number, because the final price depends on the door type, the quantity, whether you need new frames, and who does the installation.
Rather than give you a vague national average, here is a real-world breakdown based on 2026 Florida pricing — including what we charge at Slab & Trim and what local installers typically quote for labor.
Door Material Costs (2026)
The door slab itself is the biggest variable. Here is what you can expect to pay, per door:
| Door Type | Big-Box Range | Slab & Trim Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollow-core slab | $35–$80 | — | Builder-grade, lightweight, echoey |
| Solid-core primed slab | $90–$200 | — | Heavier, better sound isolation |
| Real wood veneer slab | $180–$400 | $350–$450 | Factory-direct pricing; 8 colors in stock |
| Veneer slab + frame | $350–$600 | $435–$535 | Matching frame included; ready to install |
| Invisible (frameless) set | $900–$1,200 | $650–$799 | Full set: slab, concealed frame, hidden hinges, latch |
Frame and Hardware Costs
If you are replacing only the slab and reusing the existing frame, you save $85–$150 per opening. But if the frame is damaged, out of plumb, or you are switching from a 4-9/16" jamb to a 6-9/16" jamb (common when walls are thicker than standard), you will need a new frame.
- Adjustable jamb frame: +$85 at Slab & Trim (veneer-matched), $80–$150 elsewhere.
- Casing trim (both sides): +$107 at Slab & Trim (matching veneer); $40–$100 in primed pine.
- Hinges: Usually included with a prehung set. Standalone: $8–$35/pair depending on type (butt vs. concealed).
- Passage/privacy hardware: $18–$35 at Slab & Trim; $25–$80 at retail.
Installation Labor in Florida
Labor rates in Central and South Florida have climbed since 2023 due to construction demand. Here are the ranges we see from local contractors and handyman services:
| Task | Per Door | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slab swap (reuse frame) | $75–$150 | Quickest job — remove old slab, hang new one, trim hinges |
| Prehung / full-frame install | $150–$300 | Remove old frame, shim and level new one, install casing |
| Invisible door set install | $250–$400 | Concealed frame must be set perfectly plumb; drywall patch required |
| Painting (prime + 2 coats) | $50–$100 | For primed or invisible doors; veneer doors ship factory-finished |
Total Project Cost: Real Examples
Here are three scenarios we see regularly among our Florida customers:
Scenario 1 — Upgrade 6 hollow-core doors to veneer (slab swap)
- 6× veneer slab at $380 = $2,280
- 6× passage hardware at $18 = $108
- 6× slab-swap labor at ~$100 = $600
- Total ≈ $2,988 (about $498 per door, installed)
Scenario 2 — 4 veneer doors with new frames and casing
- 4× veneer slab + frame + casing at $535 = $2,140
- 4× privacy hardware at $22 = $88
- 4× full-frame install at ~$200 = $800
- Total ≈ $3,028 (about $757 per opening, installed)
Scenario 3 — 2 invisible doors (new construction)
- 2× invisible door set (96") at $799 = $1,598
- 2× invisible install + drywall finish at ~$350 = $700
- Total ≈ $2,298 (about $1,149 per door, installed)
How to Keep Costs Down
- Reuse frames when possible. If the existing jamb is plumb and in good condition, a slab swap cuts labor in half.
- Buy in bulk. Most suppliers (us included) offer better per-door pricing on larger orders.
- Skip hollow-core for main rooms. Solid-core or veneer doors add perceived value to a home far beyond their cost.
- Order pre-cut doors. At Slab & Trim we can machine for hinges and hardware before shipping (+$25/door), which saves your installer 20–30 minutes per door.
- Choose factory-finished veneer over paint-grade. You save the $50–$100 per door painting cost because veneer doors arrive ready to hang.
