A patio door affects the view, access, furniture layout, and the way you move between inside and outside. Start with the existing opening and the space available for panels to slide or swing.
Compare how the doors open
Sliding systems move panels along a track. French doors need space for the door swing. Pivot and bifold systems have their own space and hardware requirements. We can discuss the products available through the building supplier and what suits your project.
Look closely at tracks and thresholds
Tell us about difficult operation, damaged tracks, water entry, or changes in floor level. During the visit, we assess the opening and discuss the components and finish work included in the proposed installation.
Plan the work around your home
Let us know about access through the home, pets, furniture near the opening, or association requirements. Confirm product lead times, installation scheduling, and site preparation when reviewing the estimate.
What affects the price?
Opening width, panel count, operating style, glass package, track or sill condition, access, and finish work affect the estimate. Expanding an opening or repairing an existing opening can change the scope substantially.
How soon can we help?
Start by sharing your city, the type and number of openings, and your preferred project timing. We can then confirm availability for a measurement visit. Product availability, custom-order lead times, any required approvals, and the agreed scope all affect the installation date; confirm the schedule before committing to an order.
Questions before your visit
Can you install an impact-rated sliding door?
We can discuss available impact-rated systems and the requirements for your particular opening.
Can I enlarge an opening?
Tell us what you have in mind. A changed opening needs a separate assessment of the scope and applicable requirements; it should not be assumed to be part of a standard replacement.
Do you repair rollers or tracks only?
This page covers door installation. Contact us with your issue so we can confirm whether it falls within the services we provide.
