West Park’s housing stock includes a mix of 1950s-1970s ranch homes, 1980s-1990s split-levels, and newer construction from the 2000s-2010s. Each era presents different frame conditions, header loads, and sill pan requirements. We’ve replaced sliding glass doors in Carver Ranches where the original aluminum frames had corroded at the weep holes, and we’ve installed impact-rated patio door systems in newer developments near West Park’s eastern boundary where the 2020 Florida Building Code requires missile-impact certification. The measured survey we leave with you documents the existing rough opening, the sightline measurement (the visible glass area once the frame is installed), and any structural modifications needed. That document becomes your written quote - Haven Clause 1 of our operating standard.

What Our Sliding & Patio Doors Service Includes

Patio Doors

A patio door is any door system that opens onto a deck, patio, or backyard space, typically a sliding or hinged configuration with large glass panels. In West Park, we see original patio doors in homes built before 2000 that are single-pane, uninsulated, and mounted in painted steel frames that rust from the bottom up. We measure the rough opening, assess the header capacity for the weight of modern dual-pane or laminated glass, and specify the replacement from our eight manufacturer lines based on your performance requirements and budget. The written quote includes the door unit, installation, sealant, trim, and disposal of the old unit - no line item is optional or hidden.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Impact sliding glass doors use laminated glass and reinforced frames tested to withstand wind-borne debris and cyclic pressure loads required by the Florida Building Code in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. West Park sits in Broward County, where the 2020 code requires impact-rated products for all new installations and replacements unless the opening is protected by an approved shutter system. We specify PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows impact sliding doors based on the design pressure rating your specific opening requires - a 10-foot-wide door facing an unobstructed canal needs a higher DP rating than a 6-foot door shielded by a courtyard wall. The measured survey documents the exposure, the height above grade, and the surrounding topography so the specification is defensible to the building inspector.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Replacement becomes necessary when the existing door no longer operates smoothly, the thermal seal has failed (visible fog between glass panes), or the frame has deteriorated beyond repair. In West Park, we regularly find sliding glass doors from the 1980s and 1990s with failed rollers, bent tracks, and corroded sill pans that have allowed water into the subfloor. Our replacement process includes removal of the old unit, inspection of the rough opening for water damage or termite activity, installation of a new sill pan with end dams, and precise shimming to maintain the manufacturer’s specified clearance for roller operation. We document the before condition, the opening inspection, and the completed installation with dated photographs - Evidence on Every Job, Haven Clause 4.

Impact French Patio Doors

French patio doors are hinged, swinging door pairs that provide a wider clear opening than a sliding unit and a more traditional architectural profile. Impact-rated French doors require multi-point locking systems, reinforced stiles, and heavy-duty hinges to carry the weight of laminated glass while maintaining the operability expected of a residential entry door. We install Therma-Tru and ViewLux impact French systems in West Park homes where the homeowner wants the aesthetic of divided lites or a specific paint match to existing trim. The measured survey for a French door replacement includes verification that the rough opening is plumb, level, and square within 1/8 inch - any deviation beyond that is documented and corrected before the door is ordered, because a French door will not seal or operate properly in a twisted opening.

Screen Door Installation

Screen doors for sliding patio door systems provide ventilation without insect intrusion and are available in standard fiberglass mesh, pet-resistant heavy-duty mesh, and solar-blocking screens that reduce heat gain. We install replacement screen doors to match existing PGT, CGI, CWS, or ECO Window Systems patio door frames, or we can retrofit a screen track to a door system that was originally installed without one. In West Park’s climate, where afternoon thunderstorms can follow morning sunshine, a functional screen door extends the usable hours of a patio space without air conditioning. The measured survey includes the visible screen opening, the frame depth for the screen track, and the mesh type specified by the customer.

Brands We Service for Sliding & Patio Doors

We work with eight manufacturer lines, specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For impact-rated sliding and patio doors in West Park, we regularly specify PGT and CGI for their established Florida distribution and documented test reports to Miami-Dade and Broward County product approval standards - similar to the specifications we use for Plantation Sliding & Patio Doors. CWS and ES Windows offer competitive alternatives with strong energy performance numbers - low U-factors and SHGC ratings that matter for west-facing doors in West Park’s afternoon sun exposure. We’ve installed hundreds of units from each of these four lines and maintain current specification sheets and installation manuals for every series they produce.

For non-impact applications or interior-facing patio doors, ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass provide cost-effective options with reliable hardware and finish warranties. Therma-Tru and ViewLux round out our French and hinged patio door offerings, with Therma-Tru’s fiberglass door slabs providing excellent dimensional stability in South Florida’s humidity and ViewLux offering narrow sightline frames that maximize visible glass area. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make - including units installed by other contractors that have since gone out of business - we can assess the condition, identify the manufacturer from the etched glass mark or frame label, and specify the correct replacement or repair.

Before

After

Signs You Need Sliding & Patio Doors Right Now

• The door sticks, jumps, or requires force to move along the track. This indicates failed rollers, a bent track, or debris accumulation that has worn the rolling surface. Continued forced operation damages the frame and can crack the glass; we replace the roller assembly or the complete track system after measuring the exact profile and load capacity.
• Visible moisture or fog between the glass panes. A failed insulated glass unit (IGU) seal allows humid air into the space between lites, reducing thermal performance and obscuring the view. In West Park’s climate, this condition accelerates frame corrosion and can breed mold on the interior stop; replacement of the IGU or the complete door is specified based on the age and condition of the frame.
• Water intrusion at the sill or adjacent wall during rain. Failed weatherstripping, a compromised sill pan, or improper flashing above the frame allows water into the wall cavity. We inspect with moisture meters and thermal imaging to trace the leak path, then correct the flashing and install a new sill pan with proper end dams and sealant.
• Visible frame corrosion, rot, or termite damage. Aluminum frames corrode from the inside out at weep holes and screw fasteners; wood frames rot at the sill and jamb bottoms; vinyl frames can crack at stress concentrations. The measured survey documents the extent of damage so the replacement specification includes any rough opening repair needed.
• You cannot secure the lock or the door lifts out of the track. A door that lifts from the track is a security risk and a safety hazard in high winds. We inspect the interlock design, the lock mechanism, and the anti-lift devices, then specify a replacement that meets current forced-entry resistance standards.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Schedule your measured survey. Call (786) 685-4706 and a live operator will confirm a two-hour arrival window. Our technician arrives in a marked vehicle, in uniform, with license number visible - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. You receive a text with the technician’s name and photo before arrival.
2. 2
   Measured survey and documentation. We record the rough opening width, height, and squareness; the wall thickness and construction type; the floor level relative to the exterior grade; and the exposure conditions that determine the design pressure rating. You keep a copy of this survey; it is the basis for the written quote and the final invoice.
3. 3
   Written quote within 24 hours. The quote specifies the manufacturer, series, size, glass type, hardware finish, and installation scope. Every line item is priced; there is no “allowance” or “as needed” language. Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document. The price does not change unless you change the scope.
4. 4
   Installation by documented procedure. On installation day, the crew removes the old unit, inspects the rough opening for conditions not visible during survey, installs the new door per manufacturer specifications with proper shimming, sealant, and flashing, and tests all operation and lock functions. We photograph the completed installation and upload the dated images to your job record.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and warranty registration. You operate the door, verify the lock, and inspect the sealant and trim. We register the manufacturer’s warranty and provide the 365-Day Done Right Promise - Haven Clause 5, No Surprises. If anything is not done right, we make it right, documented in writing, not as a courtesy.
