AfterTrusted Sliding Glass & Patio Doors for Palmetto Bay Homeowners
Sliding glass and patio door replacement in Palmetto Bay typically runs $2,800 to $7,500 installed, depending on size, glass package, and frame material. Most single-panel slider replacements take one day, while multi-panel patio door systems may run two to three days. Call (386) 200-9224 for a written, line-item quote before you commit to anything.
TruePane Windows & Doors has installed sliding glass and patio doors across Palmetto Bay since 2008 through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition Dale Kessler founded in 2008. We’re not a franchise operation with a rotating crew. We hire locally, train apprentices into journeymen, and stand behind every install with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when a door binds in July or a seal fogs in January, you reach a human who knows your neighborhood, not a call center in another state.
What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Every sliding door job in Palmetto Bay starts with the opening, not the catalog. We measure twice, check the floor for settle, and look at how the old door failed before we recommend a replacement. Here is what we handle.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
When the rollers wear flat, the track gets scored, or the frame has shifted out of square, patching the hardware stops making sense. We pull the old unit, correct the rough opening, and set the new door so it rides true from day one. Most single-slider replacements in Palmetto Bay finish in a single visit. If your door sticks, drags, or leaks air around the edges, this is usually the fix.
Patio Door Installation
A patio door is a wall with glass in it and it has to carry wind load, water, and decades of Florida humidity without failing. We install French patio doors, multi-slide systems, and lift-and-slide units from manufacturers we trust, with both warranty layers registered in writing. In Palmetto Bay, where hurricane code requirements apply, we pull permits when the job calls for it and schedule inspections as part of the work. The frame gets shimmed, squared, and sealed before the glass ever goes in.
Sliding Door Hardware and Roller Service
Not every door needs replacing. A door that is heavy to move, jumps the track, or groans when you open it often has worn rollers, a bent track, or a latch out of alignment. We carry replacement rollers, handles, and locks for major manufacturers and service what we can rather than selling a new door you do not need. If the frame is sound, we’ll tell you that plainly and quote the repair honestly.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Palmetto Bay sits in Miami-Dade County, and impact-rated sliding doors are not an upgrade here; they’re often a code requirement and a matter of family safety. We install impact sliders from manufacturers including PGT and CGI, with the paperwork to back the rating. If you’re replacing an older non-impact door, we’ll show you side-by-side quotes on paper so you understand exactly what the glass package costs and what it protects.
Custom Patio Door Configurations
Some openings were never designed for a standard slider and a stock unit will never fit right. We build custom patio door systems to the measured opening, including corner configurations, extra-wide spans, and doors that tie into existing sightlines. Dale Kessler’s rule governs every custom job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We measure the opening ourselves, order to those numbers, and do not trim corners to force a fit.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That matters for two reasons. First, authorized means the manufacturer honors the warranty when we install it, which is not automatic if a random handyman sets the door. Second, we can quote these lines side by side on paper so you see the real difference in glass, frame, and hardware, not a sales pitch.
We also service sliding doors from Therma-Tru, including older units where parts are no longer on the shelf at the big box. Our technicians keep OEM hardware for common Palmetto Bay installations and know which aftermarket rollers actually last in salt air. Whether you have a ViewLux slider from the 1990s or a Therma-Tru French patio door you are ready to retire, we can service what is worth keeping and replace what is not.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door drags or requires two hands to open. Worn rollers and a scored track put strain on the frame every time you force it. In Palmetto Bay, where humidity accelerates corrosion, a door that drags today will likely bind completely within a season. Replacing rollers early is a $200 fix; replacing a warped frame is a $2,500 one.
- You can see daylight around the closed door. A sliding door should seal tight against the frame on all four sides. If you see light, you are also losing conditioned air and letting moisture into the wall cavity, which feeds mold you cannot see. This is a sign the door has shifted out of square or the weatherstripping has failed.
- The glass fogs between the panes. A failed seal means the insulating gas has escaped and the glass will never be clear again. It is not a cleaning problem; it is a structural failure of the insulated glass unit. We replace the glass or the door, but we do not pretend a wipedown fixes it.
- The lock no longer engages or the door lifts out of its track. A slider that can be lifted from the outside is a security problem, not just a nuisance. In Palmetto Bay, where many homes sit on canals and quiet streets, an unsecured slider is an invitation. If the lock is worn or the track is so loose the panel can lift, replace the hardware or the door before someone tests it.
- Water stains appear on the interior floor near the track. Water intrusion at a slider is rarely a single leak; it is usually a track that has lost its pitch or a frame that has settled. By the time you see the stain, the subfloor may already be damaged. We trace the water, not just the stain, and fix the cause.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and assess. We arrive on time, in uniform, and background-checked. We measure the rough opening twice, check the floor for level, and look at how the old door has performed. If the opening is out of square, we note it and explain what correction the job requires.
- 2
Quote side by side on paper. You get written pricing for the manufacturers that fit your opening and your budget, with glass packages, frame materials, and hardware listed line by line. No vague allowances, no surprise change orders later. You see exactly what you are buying and what it costs.
- 3
Order and schedule. Once you approve the quote, we order the door and confirm a install date that works for you. We register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves our shop, and we hand you the paperwork at the start of the install, not the end.
- 4
Set, square, and seal. The old door comes out, the opening gets corrected if needed, and the new door is shimmed, squared, and anchored to code. For impact doors in Palmetto Bay, that means proper fastening per Miami-Dade requirements, not drywall screws and hope. We flash and seal the exterior so water goes where the builder intended, not into your wall.
- 5
Test and walk through. We open and close the door a dozen times, adjust the rollers, check the lock, and demonstrate operation. We walk you through the warranty paperwork, answer questions, and leave the site clean. If anything is not right in the next 90 days, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Palmetto Bay?
A standard two-panel sliding glass door replacement in Palmetto Bay typically runs $2,800 to $5,200 installed, depending on size and glass package. A three-panel patio slider with impact glass runs $4,500 to $8,500. A custom multi-slide system can exceed $15,000. French patio doors start around $3,500 and climb with frame material and glass.
Here are the line-item ranges we quote most often in this market:
| Service | Typical Palmetto Bay Range |
|---|---|
| Standard two-panel slider replacement | $2,800 – $5,200 |
| Impact-rated two-panel slider | $3,800 – $7,500 |
| Three-panel patio slider with impact glass | $4,500 – $8,500 |
| French patio door (single) | $3,500 – $6,800 |
| Roller and hardware service | $180 – $420 |
| Custom multi-slide patio door system | $9,000 – $20,000+ |
What moves the price most is glass: impact-rated laminated glass adds real cost but is often required in Palmetto Bay and worth every dollar during hurricane season. Frame material matters too: vinyl is the value option, aluminum is slimmer and stronger, and wood-clad is the premium look. The cheapest way to overpay is to let an installer quote a door without detailing what the glass package, hardware, and flashing actually include. Our free estimate shows every line item on paper, both warranty layers confirmed, and the final number. No allowances, no “we’ll see when we open the wall.” Call (386) 200-9224 to schedule yours.

Every TruePane job is backed by the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right with no paperwork fights and no arguing.

Call (386) 200-9224 to discuss warranty coverage on your specific door. We’ll walk you through what you have and what you would get.
Clear the area around the door, both inside and out, so the crew has a clear work path and room to stage the new unit. Move furniture, plants, and decor at least six feet back from the opening. If you have pets, keep them out of the work area during the install. We bring drop cloths, sealants, and all required tools; you do not need to supply anything.
When we arrive, we will walk the site with you, confirm the plan, and get to work. Call (386) 200-9224 to schedule.
