AfterTrusted Sliding & Patio Doors for Sunrise Homeowners
Sliding and patio door installation and replacement in Sunrise typically runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on size, glazing specification, and whether the unit is impact-rated for the South Florida Building Code. Most measured surveys in Sunrise are scheduled within 48 hours, and every quote is written before any work begins under Haven Clause 1. Call (754) 254-5294 to book your measured survey.
We’ve installed and replaced sliding and patio doors across Sunrise since 2012 - from the single-family homes near Sawgrass Mills to the townhome communities along Oakland Park Boulevard - and also handle Plantation Sliding & Patio Doors. Every one of the 18,000+ openings we’ve touched carries a written price from the start and a documented photo record at completion. The Haven Standard governs how we work, not how we market. Sonia Raman leads our operation, and the technicians who arrive at your door are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before they step onto your property.
Sunrise presents specific conditions for sliding and patio doors: the afternoon sun exposure on west-facing units accelerates seal degradation, the summer humidity cycles stress roller and track systems, and the Broward County wind zone requirements mean non-impact-rated glass in older homes often fails current code. We specify products from our eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - by what your opening requires, not by what we have in stock.
What Our Sliding & Patio Doors Service Includes
Patio Doors
Patio doors are the primary access point between your living space and outdoor area, typically configured as swinging French doors or sliding glass panels. In Sunrise, we see the most replacement demand in homes built between 1985 and 2005, where original aluminum-frame units have developed thermal breaks or operational failure. Sightline measures the rough opening to 1/16 inch, specifies the replacement from our ES Windows or Therma-Tru lines based on your performance tier, and delivers a written quote that matches the survey document exactly.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors combine laminated glazing with reinforced frames to meet the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements of the Florida Building Code, Sixth Edition. If your Sunrise home is within the Broward County wind-borne debris region - which includes all areas east of the Turnpike and most western developments - these units are not optional for new installation. We specify Mr-Glass and PGT impact-rated systems with documented Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers, and we pull the permit and schedule inspection as part of our scope.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Sliding glass door replacement becomes necessary when rollers fail, tracks deform, seals separate, or the glazing fogs due to insulated glass unit (IGU) seal failure. In Sunrise’s Sawgrass Estates and Welleby communities, and in nearby Sliding & Patio Doors - Margate properties, we regularly encounter 6-foot and 8-foot units from the 1990s with failed dual-pane seals that present as condensation between lites. Our replacement process removes the entire frame, inspects the subfloor for water intrusion, installs the new unit with proper sill pan flashing, and documents the completed work with timestamped photos under Haven Clause 4.
Impact French Patio Doors
Impact French patio doors pair the traditional divided-lite aesthetic with hurricane-rated construction, using laminated glass and reinforced stile-and-rail joinery. These units suit Sunrise homeowners in communities like Sunrise Golf Village, as well as those seeking Pompano Beach Sliding & Patio Doors, who want the visual division of a French door without sacrificing code compliance. We source impact French configurations from CGI and ViewLux with specific U-factor and SHGC ratings for your home’s orientation, and we verify that the operating hardware - multi-point locks, hinges, and adjustable sills - meets the manufacturer’s specification before we leave.
Screen Door Installation
Screen door installation addresses the companion panel to your sliding glass door or the retractable screen for your French door system. In Sunrise, where mosquito pressure runs year-round, a properly fitted screen with extruded aluminum frame and stainless steel mesh is functional, not decorative. We measure the active and fixed panels separately, fabricate or specify the screen to match, and verify that the roller engagement and latch alignment operate smoothly before we consider the job complete.

Brands We Service for Sliding & Patio Doors
We work with eight manufacturer lines, specified by what your opening requires rather than by inventory position. For sliding and patio doors in Sunrise, we most frequently draw from ES Windows for their aluminum impact-rated sliding systems with documented Florida Product Approval, ECO Window Systems for vinyl-frame energy-efficient configurations that perform well on north- and east-facing openings, and Therma-Tru for fiberglass French door slabs with composite frame components that resist the humidity cycling common in Broward County. We’ve serviced hundreds of ES Windows units in Sunrise and surrounding cities, including Sliding & Patio Doors in Fort Lauderdale, and we maintain direct relationships with their technical support for warranty and specification questions.
Mr-Glass supplies our laminated impact glazing for custom or oversize openings where standard catalog units won’t fit. For homeowners in Sunrise with existing PGT, CGI, CWS, or ViewLux installations, we can service, repair, or replace within those product ecosystems using OEM components. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can evaluate the unit, document its condition with photos you receive, and specify the correct repair or replacement path.

AfterSigns You Need Sliding & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door requires shoulder force to move on its track. This indicates roller wear, track deformation, or frame settlement. In Sunrise’s sandy soil conditions, minor foundation shift is common, and a binding door often precedes complete operational failure or glass stress fracture.
- You see moisture between the glass panes. This is IGU seal failure. The inert gas has escaped, the thermal performance is gone, and the interior surface will eventually etch. In Sunrise’s climate, this condition accelerates once visible and does not reverse.
- The frame shows corrosion, pitting, or powdery residue. Aluminum frames from the 1980s and 1990s without thermal breaks develop this condition when the anodized coating fails. The frame is structurally compromised, and the thermal bridge increases your cooling load measurably.
- Air leaks are detectable around the perimeter. Hold a lit incense stick near the frame on a breezy day. If the smoke stream deflects, your weatherstripping has compressed or the frame-to-wall seal has failed. This is energy loss and, during storm conditions, water intrusion risk.
- The door lacks impact rating for current code. If your Sunrise home was built before 2002 and the sliding door has not been replaced, it likely carries standard annealed glass. For homes in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, this is a coverage and safety issue that affects insurance renewal and occupant protection.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and written scope. We arrive with laser measure, level, and moisture meter. We record the rough opening width, height, and squareness; the wall thickness and substrate condition; and any evidence of prior water intrusion. You keep a copy of this survey. The written quote we generate cannot differ from these measurements - Haven Clause 1.
- 2
Product specification and permit determination. Based on your home’s exposure, code zone, and performance priorities, we specify the manufacturer line, model, glazing package, and hardware finish. If the installation requires a permit - which all impact-rated replacements and most new installations in Sunrise do - we identify the requirement, include the permit cost in the written quote, and handle submittal to the City of Sunrise Building Department.
- 3
Scheduled installation with verified crew. The technicians assigned to your job are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. They review the measured survey, verify the product against the specification, and protect your flooring and furnishings before removing the existing unit.
- 4
Installation with documented evidence. We remove the old frame, inspect and repair the rough opening as needed, install the new unit with manufacturer-specified fasteners and sealants, verify operation and lock engagement, and capture timestamped photos of critical details: sill pan installation, fastener pattern, sealant bead continuity, and final sightline alignment. You receive these photos - Haven Clause 4.
- 5
Final inspection and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We operate the door through its full range, check all hardware functions, clean the work area, and present the final invoice - which matches the written quote unless you requested changes. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job: if it’s not done right, we make it right. This is Haven Clause 5, not a courtesy.
How Much Does Sliding & Patio Doors Cost in Sunrise?
A typical sliding glass door replacement in Sunrise runs $2,400-$4,800 for a standard 6-foot vinyl-frame unit with low-E glazing, and $3,800-$6,500 for an impact-rated aluminum system with laminated glass and Florida Product Approval. French patio door configurations start around $3,200 for fiberglass non-impact and range to $7,500 for impact-rated with multi-point hardware and custom sizing. Screen door installation or replacement typically falls between $380 and $720 depending on frame material and mesh specification.
Several factors move these ranges. Size is the most significant: an 8-foot sliding unit costs proportionally more than a 6-foot, and 10-foot or 12-foot multi-panel systems require structural header verification. Impact rating adds 40-60 percent to the base unit cost but is non-negotiable in the HVHZ. Frame material matters: vinyl offers better thermal performance at lower cost, aluminum provides thinner sightlines and greater structural capacity, fiberglass resists humidity and thermal expansion most effectively. Installation complexity affects labor: stucco or EIFS exterior requires more careful cutback and repair than vinyl siding; second-story applications need equipment access; and water-damaged subfloors require remediation before the new unit can be set.
To avoid overpaying, obtain a written quote based on a measured survey, not a phone estimate. Compare line-item specifications: U-factor, SHGC, air infiltration rate, and design pressure rating. Ask whether the quote includes permit, inspection, and disposal fees - ours does, and the written price does not change once work starts. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate: bring us a competitor’s quote and we will review the specification and pricing at no charge.
Our free estimate includes the measured survey you keep, the written scope with product specification, and the fixed-price quote. Call (754) 254-5294 to schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Our service covers measured survey, product specification, permit handling, removal of the existing unit, installation of the new door with manufacturer-specified materials, operational verification, cleanup, and a documented photo record. Every job carries a written price before work starts and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Complex installations - oversize units, structural header modifications, or stucco repair - may extend to two days. We specify the timeline in the written scope, not after arrival.
A standard 6-foot vinyl sliding door replacement in Sunrise typically runs $2,400-$4,800 installed, while impact-rated aluminum systems range $3,800-$6,500. French patio doors start around $3,200 and range higher with custom sizing or impact rating. Call (754) 254-5294 for an exact quote - estimates are free, and the written price does not change once work starts.
Yes. We have direct specification and warranty relationships with both manufacturers and have installed hundreds of their units in Broward County. We stock common hardware and maintain technical documentation for proper installation per manufacturer requirements.
We do not classify planned door replacement as emergency work. For operational failure that creates a security or weather exposure risk - a door that will not lock, a shattered lite, or a unit blown off track during a storm - call (754) 254-5294. Live phone coverage is available 24/7, and we will assess whether same-day stabilization is possible.
Every installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, written into the Haven Standard. Manufacturer warranties on the product itself vary by line - typically 10 years on glass, 20 years on non-glass components for the brands we specify - and we document your warranty registration as part of our closeout package.
Clear a path to the opening and remove window treatments, furniture, and wall hangings within six feet of the work area. We protect flooring and remaining furnishings, but the clearer the space, the more efficiently we work. If you have pets, secure them in a separate room - the opening will be exposed during removal. We will confirm any specific preparation needs when we deliver the written scope.
