Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale

Patio Doors

Standard patio door replacement in Fort Lauderdale starts around $2,800 for a non-impact vinyl slider in a typical 6-foot opening. We specify by performance tier and price range, not by margin. For a home in Coral Ridge or Sailboat Bend with original 1960s aluminum sliders, we’ll measure the rough opening, check the sill plate for canal-air corrosion, and specify the right product from our eight manufacturer lines. The measured survey you keep shows frame readings, sightline measurements, and product specs. The written quote cannot differ from that document.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Impact sliding glass doors in Fort Lauderdale run $4,200-$6,500 installed, depending on size, glazing package, and hardware. Every unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval. This isn’t optional. It’s not an upgrade. It’s the law in Broward County, and it’s what your insurance carrier’s wind mitigation form requires. We stock PGT and CGI impact-rated sliders with laminated glass interlayers, thermally broken frames, and stainless steel hardware rated for salt-air exposure. On a one-acre lot off SW 15th Avenue near Tarpon River, we replaced a 1970s aluminum slider with an HVHZ-rated CGI impact sliding glass door after the original threshold had rotted and the jalousie side panels failed wind mitigation. Our tech had to bring the door in through a gate the truck couldn’t clear, so we hand-carried the laminated glass interlayer panel and set it on a new sill pan with positive drainage away from the septic drainfield. The homeowners got the wind-mitigation credit and a cooling bump from the low-E insulated glass unit.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Sliding glass door replacement in Fort Lauderdale is often triggered by failure, not choice. The sash binds. The rollers seize. The threshold pits from salt-saturated canal air. The weatherstripping degrades. We see this on original aluminum sliders in 1950s-1970s CBS construction from Edgewood to Tarpon River. Replacement cost depends on whether we’re working with an existing conditioned opening or reframing for a larger unit. On acreage lots, we also scope equipment access, gate clearances, and material haul distance. These change the labor calculation before we quote.

Impact French Patio Doors

Impact French patio doors in Fort Lauderdale start around $5,500 for a standard 6-foot pair, with multi-point locking hardware and HVHZ-rated glazing. French doors are often specified for detached shops, ADUs, and pool houses on acreage properties where the main house has already been upgraded. These outbuildings are frequently permitted separately, which means their own wind mitigation inspection and their own insurance scrutiny. We specify CWS and ES Windows impact French doors with thermally broken aluminum or vinyl frames, depending on the exposure and the owner’s maintenance preference.

Screen Door Installation

Screen door installation in Fort Lauderdale is typically paired with a new slider or French door, but we also replace failed screen panels on existing units. Marine-grade mesh and extruded aluminum frames hold up to the salt air better than standard residential-grade products. We specify by what the opening requires.

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. For Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ environment, we most often specify PGT and CGI for impact sliding glass doors, CWS for mid-tier energy-efficient replacements, and ES Windows for custom sizes and commercial-grade hardware. We don’t sell from stock. We order to the measured survey, which means the lead time is real but the fit is exact. Parts and warranty service are handled through our South Florida supply chain, not routed out of state.

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

• Salt-saturated canal air corrodes aluminum jambs and roller hardware. Fort Lauderdale’s 300-plus miles of inland canals expose every exterior opening to standing moisture year-round. Original sliders in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Victoria Park often have seized rollers and pitted thresholds before the glass ever fails. The sash binds. The track grinds. We replace the entire operating assembly, not just the roller.
• DIY or low-bid replacements skip the Miami-Dade NOA. A door assembly without HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval gets flagged at final inspection or fails to satisfy the carrier’s wind mitigation form. This is especially common on detached shops and ADUs permitted separately from the main house. We verify the NOA number before we order.
• Open-lot grading pushes standing water against the patio door track. On acreage properties from western Fort Lauderdale to the Davie border, poor drainage rots the sill plate and defeats weatherstripping long before hurricane season. We scope the grade, specify the sill pan, and document the drainage path in the photo record.
• Jalousie side panels fail wind mitigation on mid-century homes. Those louvered glass panels are barred from new installation under HVHZ code and void most insurance policies. They’re still in thousands of homes in Tarpon River and Edgewood. We remove them and infill with impact-rated fixed glass or operating casements as part of the slider replacement.
