The Patio Door Replacement Process: What to Expect in West Palm Beach

A 'patio door replacement' is a big project, but it's a surprisingly fast and clean one when handled by professionals. To ease your mind, here is a step-by-step guide to our installation process in West Palm Beach.

Step 1: The Consultation and Measurement

First, a project consultant will visit your home to discuss your needs (impact vs. non-impact, vinyl vs. aluminum), show you options, and take precise, professional measurements. You will receive an exact quote for the project.

Step 2: Ordering Your Custom Door

Sliding patio glass doors are not 'off-the-shelf' products. Your door is custom-ordered to the exact specifications of your opening. This is the longest part of the process, as the factory builds your door.

Step 3: Installation Day (The Main Event)

Our certified install team arrives. They will lay down drop cloths to protect your home. They will carefully remove your old door, clean the opening, and inspect the wood frame for any rot (which can be repaired).

Step 4: Setting and Securing the New Door

The new door is precisely set, leveled, and shimmed into the opening. It is then securely fastened to the structure of your home. We add new trim and insulation foam to ensure a perfect, airtight, and waterproof seal.

Step 5: Final Clean-up and Walkthrough

We clean the new glass, test the door to ensure it slides perfectly, and haul away your old door. We then do a final walkthrough with you to answer any questions and ensure you are 100% satisfied.
