What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Sliding glass and patio doors take a beating in South Florida. Salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and the constant opening and closing that comes with indoor-outdoor living wear down rollers, tracks, seals, and frames. We handle the full scope: new installations, full replacements, and the repairs that keep your existing door running smooth and locking tight. Here’s exactly what that covers.
Sliding Glass Door Installation
A new sliding glass door changes how a Westchester home lives. It’s the difference between a dark back wall and a room that opens onto the patio. We install Coral Gables Sliding Glass & Patio Doors and Westchester units with impact ratings engineered for Miami-Dade and Broward wind codes, which matters when the next named storm tracks our way. Every installation includes new framing as needed, proper flashing and waterproofing, and a door that actually glides. We don’t leave until the door opens with one finger and locks with a solid click.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Replacing an old sliding door is often smarter than repairing it, especially when the frame is corroded, the glass is single-pane, or the door predates current impact standards. We pull the old unit, inspect the rough opening for hidden water damage, and set the new door square and level. If we find rot or termite damage in the opening, we tell you before we close anything up. You get a written line-item quote before work starts, not a surprise after the drywall comes off.
Patio Door Repair
Rollers wear out. Tracks bend. Locks stop catching. We repair all of it. A Westchester homeowner with a sliding door that’s hard to open usually has worn rollers or a track packed with sand and debris. We carry replacement rollers and hardware for Thermа-Tru, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows units, so repairs usually happen in one trip. We also adjust alignment, replace weatherstripping, and get the lock engaging solidly again. A patio door that won’t lock isn’t just frustrating, it’s an open invitation.
French Patio Door Installation
French doors swing instead of slide, which works better for some floor plans and some tastes. We install hinged patio doors in Westchester with the same impact-rated glass and multi-point locking systems as our sliders. The hinge side is where cheap installations fail, so we take extra care setting the jamb and shimming the door so it closes with an even reveal on all three sides. Properly hung, a French door should close like a bank vault, not slam like a screen door.
Multi-Slide and Stacking Door Systems
For homeowners opening up a whole wall to the backyard, multi-slide doors are the upgrade that turns a patio into an extension of the living room. These systems use multiple panels that stack or pocket into the wall. We install and service multi-slide systems in Westchester, including track cleaning and panel alignment. They’re heavier and more complex than a standard slider, so we take care of the structural header requirements during the estimate, before you sign anything.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Therma-Tru patio doors are common in Westchester, and we’ve been servicing and installing them since our first year in business. We stock their replacement rollers, handles, and weatherstripping, which means a Therma-Tru repair usually doesn’t wait on parts. Their sliding doors hold alignment well, but Florida humidity eventually gets to the weatherstripping, and that’s where we see most failures.
We’re also an authorized installer for ES Windows, and their multi-slide systems are some of the best-engineered doors available for South Florida homes. Their aluminum frames resist the salt-air corrosion other brands suffer in Westchester, and their impact ratings are built for our wind zone. We also service ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass units. If you have a sliding door from any of these brands, or something older and unlabeled, we can assess it and tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing or time to replace.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door scrapes or grinds when you open it. That’s usually a failed roller or a bent track. Running it like this wears down both the roller and the track, and eventually the door won’t open at all. Catching it early keeps the repair to a roller swap instead of a full track replacement.
- The door won’t lock. A sliding door that won’t lock is a security hole in your Westchester home. The problem is almost always misalignment between the latch and the strike plate. Sometimes that’s a simple adjustment. Sometimes the door has settled and the frame shifted. Either way, we fix it so the lock engages like it’s supposed to.
- You feel a draft or see daylight around the frame. Gaps around your patio door let conditioned air escape and humid air in. That’s why rooms with old sliding doors always feel warmer in August. Weatherstripping replacement is a quick fix, but if the frame itself is warped, the door may need replacement.
- Condensation fogs between the glass panels. If you see fog or moisture inside the double-pane unit, the seal has failed. The insulating gas is gone, and the glass is now just two pieces of regular glass with a gap between them. The fix is an insulated glass unit replacement, which we can source and install for your specific door.
- The door is the original from when the house was built. In Westchester, a sliding door that’s been on a house for 20 or 25 years is usually single-pane, non-impact rated, and leaky. Replacing it upgrades your storm protection, cuts your cooling bill, and makes the door easier to operate. The investment usually pays for itself before the next hurricane season ends.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call and a live person picks up. No voicemail trees, no call centers. Someone on our team in Florida answers, asks about the door, and schedules your free estimate. If it’s an emergency, like a door that won’t close, we make you the priority, not the next slot on a dispatch board.
- 2
We arrive, inspect, and measure. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. We check the track, rollers, frame, glass, and locking hardware. We take precise measurements and write down everything we find, including the condition of the rough opening behind the trim.
- 3
You get a written, line-item quote. No vague numbers scrawled on a business card. You get a breakdown of what we’re doing, what the materials cost, and what the labor costs. The quote we give is the price you pay. If we find hidden damage during the work, we stop and show you before spending any of your money.
- 4
We install or repair, and meet code. We pull permits when required and our work passes inspection. Our installers understand Westchester’s wind zone and Miami-Dade product approval requirements. Every new door we install is impact-rated for our area.
- 5
We walk through the finished work with you. We test the door together: open, close, lock, unlock. You inspect it before we consider the job done. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we leave. And the Done Right Promise means if it stops being right later, we come back. That’s a century of accountability, and it’s Ed’s name on it.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Westchester?
In Westchester, a standard sliding glass door replacement for a 6-foot opening typically runs $2,400 to $5,500 installed, depending on the frame material, glass package, and whether it’s impact-rated. A premium multi-slide or stacking door opening up a 12-foot wall can reach $12,000 to $25,000. Repairs are a different story. A roller replacement runs $150 to $350. Track realignment is $200 to $400. A lock replacement is $100 to $250. Those are the ranges we see most often in Westchester homes, but every door is different.
Your price depends on the opening size, the condition of the surrounding framing, the brand of door, and the glass package, particularly impact-rated versus standard. The cheapest way to overpay is to let a contractor start with a low number and add “unexpected” charges once the old door is out. We prevent that with a written line-item quote that covers the work we’re quoting. Our free estimate includes exact measurements, a full condition report on the frame and opening, and the pricing you’ll actually pay. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll come out, no charge inside our home county.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Westchester
A sliding glass door is a large glass door that opens by sliding horizontally on a track instead of swinging on hinges. In Westchester homes, they’re the standard connection between the living room and the patio, pool deck, or backyard. They come in impact-rated and non-impact configurations, with two-panel, three-panel, and multi-slide systems available depending on the opening width. We install and repair all of these types, with the glass packages needed for South Florida’s wind codes and energy efficiency standards.
Most standard sliding door replacements in Westchester take one day from start to finish. The old door comes out, the opening is inspected, the new door goes in, and we clean up before we leave. If the rough opening needs framing repairs, which happens in roughly a third of the homes we see, add a day or two to the schedule and we’ll explain exactly why before we start. We don’t leave a home with an open wall at the end of the day unless the homeowner has approved the plan in advance, so you’ll never come home to a taped-up hole.
Most our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Hialeah and Westchester repairs cost between $100 and $400, depending on the part. Roller replacements are at the lower end, and track repairs or frame realignment run higher. We give you an exact number before starting any work, and the $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 discount is permanent. Call (850) 721-1218 for a no-charge inspection and quote.

On repairs, the labor and parts we supply are covered under the same promise. No fine print, no registrations, no escalation phone numbers.
Move furniture and any fragile items at least six feet back from the door opening, inside and out. That gives us room to remove the old door and set the new one without risking your belongings. Take down curtains, blinds, or anything hanging over the door. Pets should stay in another room or outside the work area, both for their safety and to keep the doors clean during installation. The day of the install, make sure someone 18 or older is home to let us in. If you’re not sure whether a prep step applies to your situation, call (850) 721-1218 ahead of time and we’ll walk you through it.
