What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Most Palm Beach homes have at least one our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in West Palm Beach, and most of them are original to the house. That means they’re 20, 30, sometimes 40 years old, and they were never built for the kind of wind and salt exposure we get here. Here’s what we actually do when you call us about a sliding or patio door.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
When a sliding door has reached the end of its life, replacing it is usually smarter than repairing it. We remove the old door down to the rough opening, inspect the surrounding framing for water damage or rot, and install a new door that meets current Florida building code. In Palm Beach, that means impact-rated glass in most cases. We’ll pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle every detail from start to finish. The new door will actually slide, which after years of wrestling a sticky track, feels like a minor miracle.
Patio Door Installation
Patio doors come in more configurations than most people realize: traditional two-panel sliders, three-panel sliders, French-style hinged doors, and even telescoping multi-slide systems. We’ll walk through the options based on your opening size, how you use the space, and what your HOA or building department requires. Ed Winslow personally reviews every installation plan before the crew arrives, so you’re never getting a generic template job. You’re getting a door sized and specified for your actual house, on your actual street, with Sliding Glass & Patio Doors - Greenacres and surrounding areas covered.
Roller and Track Repair
If your sliding door is hard to open, grinding, or jumping off the track, the rollers are almost always the culprit. Palm Beach salt air accelerates roller corrosion faster than inland locations, which means a door that worked fine last year can suddenly feel like it weighs 400 pounds. We replace worn rollers, clean and realign the track, and adjust the door so it glides like it did when it was new. This is a same-day repair in most cases, and it costs a fraction of a full replacement.
Impact Glass Upgrades for Sliding Doors
If your sliding door is older, it probably has regular annealed glass, which shatters into dangerous shards under wind pressure. Impact-rated glass, the kind PGT and CGI build into their doors, is laminated to withstand a direct hit from windborne debris. Upgrading could lower your windstorm insurance premium, and in Palm Beach, that’s real money. We’ll explain the difference between impact glass and a shutter-covered opening, and help you decide which makes sense for your budget and your insurance situation.
Weather Sealing and Draft Repair
A sliding door that leaks air is a sliding door that leaks money. We regularly find Palm Beach homes where the weatherstripping has hardened, cracked, or fallen out entirely, turning the door into a permanent air leak. We replace the seals, adjust the door alignment, and test for drafts with an infrared thermometer before we leave. The difference in room comfort is immediate, especially during August afternoons when every degree matters.
Lock and Security Hardware Replacement
A sliding door lock that’s broken or misaligned is an open invitation. It’s also one of the most common issues we see in Palm Beach, because years of salt air and use take a toll on locking mechanisms. We replace worn locks, add secondary security pins where they make sense, and make sure the door actually latches securely every time you close it. If you have to lift the door to get the lock to engage, the lock isn’t the only problem, and we’ll tell you that straight.
Screen Door Replacement for Sliders
Sliding screen doors in Palm Beach get shredded by sun, salt, and daily use. We replace screen frames and mesh, and we can match the finish to your existing door. If your current screen door’s frame is bent beyond repair, we’ll quote a full replacement and install it the same visit. A working screen door means you can open the slider in January and let the ocean breeze through without inviting every bug in the neighborhood inside.
Every one of these services comes with upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises on the invoice, ever. If you’re in Palm Beach and your sliding door isn’t sliding the way it should, call (561) 782-7525 and describe what’s happening. We’ll tell you what it likely is and what it’ll cost to fix, and the estimate is free.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and sliding glass doors are where that authorization matters most. We install PGT sliding doors every week, and we know their impact packages inside and out. From the WinGuard series to the newer EnergyVue line, we can help you pick the right glass package for your elevation, your exposure, and your insurance requirements. If a PGT door has a warranty issue, we know how to navigate the claim and get parts ordered fast.
We work extensively with CGI doors as well, which are a common sight in Palm Beach oceanfront and intracoastal communities where wind ratings are non-negotiable. CWS round out the lineup for homeowners looking for clean sightlines and strong thermal performance. Our technicians are trained by the manufacturers directly, not by watching videos online. Whether you have a PGT, CGI, CWS, or any other make, we can repair it, replace it, or give you an honest recommendation on whether it’s worth saving.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Door Service Right Now
- The door takes real effort to open or close. A properly functioning sliding door moves with two fingers of pressure. If you’re leaning your body weight into it, the rollers are shot or the track is damaged. Fixing it now is a $150 to $350 repair, and waiting turns it into a framing problem that costs thousands.
- You can see daylight around the door edges. Light means air, and air means water can get in too. In Palm Beach, a door that isn’t sealing is a door that’s inviting moisture intrusion every time it rains. The damage starts in the wall cavity and you won’t see it until it’s serious.
- The lock doesn’t engage without lifting or jiggling the door. If you have to lift the door to get the lock to click, the door has dropped on its rollers. That’s a security issue right now and a structural issue eventually. We fix this in one visit in most Palm Beach homes.
- Condensation forms between the panes of glass. That means the seal between the panes has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The glass can’t be resealed, it has to be replaced. On an older door, that’s often the right time to evaluate whether a full replacement with impact glass makes more sense.
- The track is bent, corroded, or coming up from the floor. Salt air eats aluminum tracks in Palm Beach like nothing else. Once the track is compromised, the door sits unevenly, rollers wear out fast, and the frame starts pulling apart. We see this constantly in older beachside condos and homes within a half mile of the ocean.
If any of this sounds like your door, call us at (561) 782-7525. We’ll ask a few questions over the phone and give you a straight answer about what you’re dealing with, and there’s no trip charge inside Palm Beach County.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Door Process - Step by Step
- 1
Live phone consultation. When you call (561) 782-7525, a real person answers. Not a recording, not a call center. We ask about your door: what’s happening, how old it is, what kind of frame, and what you’ve tried. That conversation alone often saves you a service call, because we’ll tell you if it’s a simple fix or a full replacement conversation.
- 2
On-site inspection and measurement. If you need us out, we schedule a time that works and we show up. Ed or one of our background-checked, uniformed technicians will measure the opening, inspect the track and frame, check for water intrusion, and take notes on everything. You get a written line-item quote with no vague categories and no allowances that balloon later.
- 3
Permit and product selection. For replacements, we pull the permit with the Town of Palm Beach or the appropriate municipality. We’ll walk you through product options from PGT, CGI, CWS, plus the glass packages that make sense for your exposure. We order everything, track it, and coordinate delivery.
- 4
Professional installation. Our crew removes the old door carefully, repairs any hidden framing damage, and installs the new door to manufacturer spec and Florida building code. We protect your flooring and furniture, we clean up when we’re done, and we walk the finished door with you before we leave. You test it, you ask questions, and you’re satisfied before we call it done.
- 5
Follow-through and the 36,Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right, for 36,500 days after installation. That’s 100 years. Ed has built the company on that promise because when your name is on the door, that’s the only way to do business. You get a follow-up call a few weeks after installation to make sure everything is working perfectly, and if you ever need us, the same phone number reaches a live person, 24/7.
If you’re comparing quotes from other companies in Palm Beach, ask them these three questions: Do you pull permits? Do you have a published license number? How long is your workmanship warranty? We answer yes, yes, and 36,500 days. That’s the difference between a contractor and a company that plans to be here long after this new door is old again.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Door Service Cost in Palm Beach?
A typical sliding glass door repair in Palm Beach runs between $150 and $350 for roller replacement, track cleaning, and alignment. A full replacement usually lands between $1,800 and $4,500, depending on the size of the opening, the frame material, whether you need impact glass, and what the removal uncovers. High-end multi-panel systems from brands like PGT or CGI can push toward $7,000, but that’s the exception, not the rule.
Here’s what moves the price:
- Glass package. Impact-rated laminated glass costs more than annealed or tempered glass, but it’s required in most new installations in Palm Beach and typically lowers your windstorm insurance premium.
- Frame material. Vinyl is the budget-friendly workhorse. Aluminum is slimmer and stronger but carries a higher price. Wood-clad from Therma-Tru sits at the top of the range but delivers a look nothing else matches.
- Size and configuration. A standard 6-foot two-panel slider is one thing. A 12-foot three-panel or a telescoping multi-slide is a different animal entirely, both in product cost and labor.
- Hidden damage. Salt air and humidity rot framing around exterior doors faster than most homeowners realize. If we open the wall and find water damage, the repair is separate from the door quote, and we’ll show you photos before we touch anything.
How do you avoid overpaying? Get a written, line-item quote and read it carefully. Ask whether the price includes removal and disposal of the old door, the permit, and all trim work. Some cheaper bids omit trim, which is how the final invoice sneaks up on you. Our quotes include everything, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s not included before you sign anything. Call (561) 782-7525 for your free estimate, and remember: seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount, and any repair over $200 takes $40 off automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
A sliding glass door is a specific type of patio door: a large glass panel or panels that slide horizontally along a track instead of swinging open on hinges. “Patio door” is the broader category that includes sliders, French doors, and multi-slide systems. In Palm Beach homes, the sliding glass door is far and away the most common patio door, and it’s what we work on most days.
Most standard slider replacements in Palm Beach are completed in one day, start to finish. We arrive in the morning, remove the old door, address any framing issues, install the new unit, and clean up before dinner. Larger multi-panel systems or doors that require significant structural repair can extend to a second day, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
Repairs typically run between $150 and $350 for roller replacement, track work, or lock replacement. A full replacement ranges from $1,800 to $4,500 for most homes. The exact number depends on the size of the door, the glass package, and the condition of the framing underneath.
