AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Sunrise
Sliding and patio door replacement in Sunrise, FL typically runs $2,800-$6,500 for a standard opening, with most projects requiring dual permits through Broward County and local condo associations. We’re the Sliding & Patio Doors crew that coordinates both tracks so your job doesn’t stall. Our technicians serve Sunrise from our Miami-area dispatch office, and we carry measured surveys to homes from Sawgrass Estates to Sunrise Lakes within 24-48 hours of first contact. Call (754) 254-5294 to schedule yours.
Why Sightline Windows & Doors Sunrise Is Sunrise’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve completed thousands of installations across Broward County since 2012, and Sunrise’s particular building stock - 1970s-80s CBS construction with original aluminum single-pane doors - represents a significant share of our measured surveys. The 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every job under the Haven Standard applies here exactly as it does everywhere else: if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing.
Our crews know the difference between a Sunrise Lakes Phase I and Phase III architectural review board submission, and we pre-submit association paperwork before pulling the Broward County permit. That’s not courtesy; it’s the process we’ve documented across hundreds of Sunrise openings. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews.
Calls to (754) 254-5294 are answered by a live person, 24/7. No callback window, no voicemail queue.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Sunrise
Patio Doors
Standard patio door replacement in Sunrise starts around $2,800 for a single opening when the existing frame is sound and no re-framing is required. Most Sunrise homes we survey, though, carry 40-50 year old aluminum frames with failed glazing seals and oxidized hardware. We specify the replacement unit by performance tier and price range from our eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - matched to what the opening requires, not what we have in stock.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Every impact sliding glass door we install in Sunrise carries large-missile rating and laminated glass interlayer rated for Broward County’s 140+ mph design wind-load compliance. This isn’t optional; it’s the minimum for any permitted replacement in the high-velocity hurricane zone. A typical impact slider in Sunrise runs $4,200-$6,500 installed, with the range driven by opening size, frame material (aluminum vs. vinyl vs. composite), and whether the existing header meets current span tables. We document the new opening with a wind mitigation report the homeowner can submit to their insurer.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Replacing a sliding glass door in a 1970s Sunrise CBS home almost always reveals more than the old unit. We’ve opened walls in Sawgrass and Inverrary to find undersized headers, no sill pan, and threshold rot that tracked water into the block cavity. Our measured survey - the document you keep - notes visible conditions, but we also write allowances into every contract for concealed framing damage. If we find it, the price is set and approved in writing before we touch it. Haven Clause 5: No surprises.
Impact French Patio Doors
Impact French patio doors in Sunrise range $5,500-$8,200 for a typical 6-foot opening, higher for 8-foot or multi-panel configurations. The French style adds hinge hardware and multi-point locking complexity, which matters in Sunrise’s salt-laden humid air where cheap hardware corrodes in two seasons. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware from PGT or Therma-Tru on coastal-exposed elevations, and we always verify the rough opening can handle the additional weight of impact-rated laminated glass before quoting.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - and we stock common hardware, rollers, and threshold components for Sunrise’s most frequently specified units. That means when a Sunrise Lakes resident calls with a stuck 1980s slider, we can often repair or adjust same-visit rather than forcing a full replacement quote. For new installations, we specify by U-factor, SHGC, and design pressure ratings matched to your elevation and exposure, not by what earns us margin.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Oxidized aluminum frames. Sunrise’s humid, salt-laden inland air - carried 10-12 miles from the Atlantic - pits and oxidizes original 1970s-80s aluminum patio door frames, causing glazing seals to shrink and separate. Once the seal fails, water tracks behind the threshold and into the CBS wall cavity.
- Undersized or rotted header framing. We find this only after the old slider comes out. A 1970s header built for a lightweight single-pane unit often can’t carry the load of modern impact-rated laminated glass. Broward County’s permit inspection catches it if we don’t, which is why we inspect with a borescope before quoting when we see stucco staining or door sag.
- Failed threshold seals and sill pans. Cracked or separated threshold seals let wind-driven rain penetrate to the subfloor. In Sunrise’s climate, the damage accelerates fast. What looks like cosmetic stucco staining often masks rotted sill pan and block saturation that must be dried and resealed before any new door is set.
- Condo association ARB delays. In Sunrise Lakes and Inverrary, contractors who don’t pre-submit association approval paperwork before pulling the county permit routinely face multi-week delays. We run both tracks simultaneously; the ARB packet is complete before the permit application hits Broward County.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Yes. Sunrise Lakes, like Inverrary and most large 55-plus communities in Sunrise, requires architectural review board approval before Broward County will accept your impact-glazing permit application. We pre-submit the ARB packet with product cut sheets, finish samples, and installation details before filing the county permit. Running both tracks simultaneously typically saves 2-3 weeks versus sequential filing. Call (754) 254-5294 and we’ll confirm the current ARB schedule for your phase.
Often yes, but not always. We measure the rough opening and the existing frame pocket during our survey. If the header is properly sized and the sill pan is intact, we can set a new unit in the existing buck without disturbing exterior stucco. If we find undersized framing or threshold rot - common in original Sunrise construction - Broward County’s permit inspection will require re-framing, which opens the wall. We note visible conditions in your measured survey and write re-frame allowances into the contract with set pricing, approved by you before any demolition.
Large-missile impact rating with laminated glass interlayer, tested to ASTM E1886/E1996 and rated for Broward County’s 140+ mph design wind-load. This is the minimum for any permitted replacement in the HVHZ. We specify PGT or CGI units with documented Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers on every Sunrise job. The rating is verified at county inspection; we pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of our scope.
Possibly. Florida insurers apply wind mitigation discounts based on documented opening protection. We provide a wind mitigation report with photos of the installed impact-rated door, its Miami-Dade approval number, and the permit final inspection record. Submit this to your agent. The discount varies by carrier and policy; we don’t guarantee savings, but we guarantee the documentation is complete and correct. Call (754) 254-5294 to discuss what our previous Sunrise customers have reported.
One day for a standard replacement with no re-framing. Two days if we encounter concealed header or sill damage that requires structural repair and re-inspection. In Sunrise Lakes and Inverrary, we also coordinate the association’s post-installation inspection if required by your phase’s governing documents. We don’t leave the site until both county and association sign-offs are documented in your photo record. Call (754) 254-5294 to schedule your measured survey and get a written timeline with your quote.
