Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale

Patio Doors

Standard patio door replacement in Fort Lauderdale starts around $2,800 for a quality vinyl or aluminum unit, but most of our customers in this market opt for impact-rated glazing given the HVHZ requirements. We specify from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems lines, selecting by performance tier and price range rather than margin. The measured survey notes your existing rough opening, header condition, and sill pan status - all of which affect the final scope.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

This is our most-requested sliding door category in Fort Lauderdale, and for direct reason. Impact sliding glass doors here must carry a Miami-Dade Product Control Notice of Acceptance (NOA), not merely Florida Product Approval. The NOA number on your permit drawings must match the exact unit installed; Broward County inspectors verify this routinely. A door without the correct NOA gets failed and torn out. We source impact sliding glass doors from PGT and CGI lines with valid HVHZ NOAs, and we document the NOA number on your written quote so there’s no mismatch at inspection. Typical range: $4,200-$6,500 depending on opening size, frame material, and hardware specification.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Sliding glass door replacement in Fort Lauderdale often turns up more than the door itself. The salt-laden air off the Atlantic and the inland canal network corrodes standard aluminum frames and hardware within a few seasons. Track and rollers seize. The door no longer seals against the jamb. We replaced a 1960s CBS home’s original jalousie side patio opening in Rio Vista with an impact-rated PGT sliding glass door - the stucco came down and exposed corroded aluminum framing, undersized header lumber, and a rusted-through sill pan someone had caulked over. Because the permit pulled the opening, we corrected the damaged jamb framing to design pressure and set marine-grade stainless hardware and tracks on a new sill pan before hanging the door. We priced the framing and waterproofing correction in writing, got approval before touching it, and the door passed the NOA-matched inspection on the first visit.

Impact French Patio Doors

Impact French patio doors bring hinged operation to openings that previously held sliders or, in older Fort Lauderdale homes, jalousie assemblies. These units start around $5,500 in our market and require the same Miami-Dade NOA as any HVHZ impact door. The wider swing path and divided-lite aesthetics suit the estate-sized canal-front properties in Las Olas Isles and Coral Ridge, where expansive glazed openings must be brought up to current code. We specify from Therma-Tru and ViewLux lines where the opening and the customer’s performance requirements align.

Screen Door Installation

Screen doors for sliding and patio units in Fort Lauderdale need marine-grade mesh and corrosion-resistant frames to survive the salt air. We install these as standalone projects or as part of a full door replacement, with the screen track integrated to the primary frame system.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - and we specify by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ environment, that typically means impact-laminated glazing, thermally broken aluminum or reinforced vinyl frames, and marine-grade stainless hardware. We maintain relationships with regional distributors that stock NOA-validated units for Broward County permits, which keeps lead times predictable and avoids the reorder delays that come from specifying a door that cannot pass local inspection.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Salt corrosion on canal-front properties. Homes on the Intracoastal or Fort Lauderdale’s 300-plus miles of navigable canals see standard aluminum frames and hardware corrode within a few seasons. The track pits, rollers seize, and the door drags or fails to seal. Marine-grade stainless hardware and anodized or powder-coated frames are the fix, not a polish.
• Hidden framing damage behind original jalousie or thin aluminum doors. The 1950s-1970s CBS homes common to Coral Ridge and Rio Vista often conceal undersized headers, rotted jamb framing, and failed waterproofing at the sill. These problems only surface once the wall opening is exposed, which is why our contracts include written allowances for framing correction.
• Failed inspections from incorrect product approval. A sliding door with standard Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA will fail Broward County inspection. We’ve seen contractors order the wrong unit, install it, and face a forced tear-out. We verify the NOA against the permit drawings before any material ships.
• UV-degraded seals and glazing separation. Fort Lauderdale’s subtropical UV intensity degrades window and door seals faster than inland Florida cities. Fogged impact glass, separated laminates, and hardened weatherstripping are common on units more than 12-15 years old.
